No.88

After the evening self-study school, I rushed out of the classroom and decided to do something big that had been planned for a long time.

When riding a bicycle out of the gate, the doorman was listening to the radio, Teresa Teng's voice floated in the air with a unique atmosphere of the times, and it smelled carefully, there was a taste of life in it.

Although Teresa Teng is good, she only belongs to the era of her existence, to a hot and humid summer midnight, the sound of the gramophone hooks up the earthworm that lives in your heart, it squirms with the song, making your heart itch.

I hurried home in a hurry, and picked up the phone to call Xia Yu without saying anything, and my dad brought the dumplings that had just been ordered with a smile, but I didn't have time to answer: "Put it on the coffee table." ”

"Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Xia Yu's weak voice came.

"What's the disease?"

I didn't report my home, which saved me a waste of time.

"It's just a cold."

The simple four words were accompanied by a constant cough.

She didn't give me a chance to continue talking, like a domino that had been pushed down, coughing endlessly, did she cough to me on purpose? Children who have suffered losses in school always like to sell miserably in front of their fathers, or the last thing I want to see, the disease is really serious.

"How can you catch a cold?"

I really can't speak, I'm anxious but I don't know how to express it, and I only use the simplest question sentences in the end.

"Who knows, alas, it's like Sister Lin, who has a thin face since ancient times."

Her voice was very nasal, but her tone was light and casual, and she was still in the mood to joke at this time.

"Can you talk well?"

I wanted her to hear my seriousness.

"Why are you killing me?"

"You're quite aggrieved."

"I've had a fever for twenty-four hours."

"I've been worried all day."

……

"Okay."

Her tone softened, and there was still a hint of smugness in it.

What is there to be proud of when you are sick!

"I guess it was freezing yesterday."

She also echoed: "It should be too windy on the 'Titanic'." ”

Suddenly, there was the sound of something shattering on the other end of the phone.

I don't know, "What's going on?" ”

She snorted: "I'm sick and just uncomfortable, who is still in the mood to eat, I didn't hold the water cup steady just now." ”

Then he said, "My mother heard the voice coming." ”

After hanging up, I saw the plate of dumplings in front of me.

The last time I sent Xia Yu home, I found that her family lived on the ground floor, and there was a public phone booth not far from the community, and I intended to go to the phone booth to call her again after a while, to create a surprise, since she said that she hadn't eaten, it was better to take the dumplings with her.

So I secretly went to the kitchen to find a lunch box to pack, and just wanted to go out, my mother's voice came from behind me: "Where are you going on a big night?" ”

"It's too hot at home, so I'll go out to eat."

"You tell me it's hot in the winter?"

My dad said, "When the kid grows up, let him go." ”

It's better to be my dad.

When I got downstairs to Xia Yu's house, I don't know what time it was, it was late anyway, and I naturally went the wrong way in the middle.

I was born road blind, with little strings in my head, and almost no sense of direction, you ask me what is the north, south, east, west, and west? All I can tell you is that it's not for eating. The worst thing is that I have very bad luck, and every time I make a decision at a fork in the road, I always go down the wrong path, which makes me deeply doubt probability theory.

If road blindness is also talent, I am absolutely talented.

I'm glad I didn't live in the ancient times when Ru Mao drank blood, otherwise I might not have been able to come back when I went out hunting.

For children who are road blind, the whole city is a large labyrinth, and this time Xia Yu's family can be found with a tenacious sense of survival.

It was too dark, I took out my IC card and tossed it in the phone booth for a while, and no one answered the phone for half a day after I got through.

I had mixed feelings and thought of Murphy's Law, if you're worried about something happening, then it's likely to happen. My biggest fear now is to run to her door and she won't answer the phone.

I tried a few more times, and finally heard Xia Yu's voice coming from the end of despair: "Who? ”

"Me! Tong Lei! ”

I shouted hoarsely, and I was afraid that she could hear it without a phone call.

"Huh?" She was dull for two seconds, "Which phone are you on?" ”

You don't care, you just open the window.

After that, I put down the phone and rode my bicycle into the community, and it rained lightly in the sky without warning, and there were lights in the house not far away, like a lighthouse in the sea, which was my destination tonight.

When I ran to the window, Xia Yu had been waiting for a long time, she was wearing pink pajamas, one eye was slightly closed, and her lips were so white that there was no color, staring blankly at me behind the security window.

Her appearance was so distressing that I told myself that this trip was not in vain.

"Surprised, surprised?"

The window was about waist level with me, and she was sitting in the bay window, and we just had the right to talk to each other on an equal footing.

She rubbed her face, trying to make herself more energetic: "You're crazy! ”

I deliberately hid the lunch box behind me, and grabbed the iron fence of the anti-theft window with my free hand: "Didn't you go to Xu Hao's mother at night, we were each other." ”

Xia Yu stood up coldly: "I'd better go out to see you." ”

"Don't," I waved my hand outside, "that's good, distance can produce beauty, if you make a disturbance and your parents find out, my reputation will not be guaranteed!" ”

"What a shame."

Xia Yu didn't look at me, but laughed alone.

"Hey, you say, there is an anti-theft window between us, do you have the immediate sense of visiting the prison on TV?"

"Prison visits...... So who is the prisoner? ”

I shook the rain off my hair and told her firmly, "It has to be you!" ”

"How could it be me, what kind of crime did I commit?"

"Theft!"

But I thought to myself, because you stole my heart.

She muttered quietly, "Running trains all day long." ”

I knew that it was not too early, so I suddenly put up the lunch box containing the dumplings and handed it to her through the gap in the anti-theft window: "Oh, eat when you're hungry." ”

She was not as shocked as I thought, and said in a slightly surprised tone, "...... this?" ”

"My home-made dumplings."

"Bring me food?"

"yes, didn't you just say on the phone that you hadn't eaten all day."

She was silent for a long time, lowered her head and opened the lunch box, picked up a dumpling and swallowed it.

Seeing her like this, I hurriedly said, "Why are you in a hurry, eat it hot." ”

Xia Yu didn't care, and when he raised his head, his mouth was stuffed full, and a teardrop slipped down his face.

She said, "Thank you." ”

This is the second time I've seen her cry.

The rain kept falling, one drop, two drops, three drops.
