CHAPTER XXXIV
What to do? A-Ning, I already miss you before we separate.
That's what Memorial said to her before she got on the plane, and she didn't take it to heart at the time.
She even breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him on the plane.
But now that she is back in the apartment, she actually feels an inexplicable sense of loneliness.
Is it because of the first day you moved in?
Or is it because it's too big and it's empty?
The unfamiliar space, looking up, is actually a memorial to the scene of cleaning up with her before leaving.
"This one is here......
"This is a good place......
"Books should be put in the study, and the bedroom is the place to sleep......"
Remembrance had never cleaned his room before, the only thing he had done was his own studio.
But people who learn to draw are always very creative.
So this apartment is very warm and warm by the memorial, and it is not suitable for a cold person like her.
She had been abroad alone for five years, and she had never felt lonely before.
Even though she has always been alone, she is also at ease.
However, now after the memorial left, she actually felt lonely, and even kept thinking about what they had done in the two days that the memorial came.
It's a feeling that is too dangerous.
Shuning didn't even dare to think deeply about why.
Simply, she didn't have time to think about it.
A week later, her mentor put her in touch with the internship hospital, so she didn't have to wait until the winter break to get her internship at the hospital.
Shuning was very happy, finally she had other things to do besides schoolwork.
However, before the internship, she had to be sent to a small town in Africa with other interns for a month-long aid activity in Africa, and only after returning could she successfully enter the hospital for an internship.
Before leaving, Shuning thought about whether to call Remembrance because she didn't know if she could call him when she went to Africa.
After all, they agreed to call once a month.
The last time I called him was when he returned home, and it was only a week.
After a moment's hesitation, she didn't call, and if she couldn't communicate there, it would be a week's delay at the latest, she thought.
At the airport, Shuning met several other interns who had gone to Africa like her.
Anna and kamu from the United States, Lee Zhixi from South Korea, and another person known to Shuning, Zhao Ru.
In addition, there is a leading teacher, an experienced doctor who has been to Africa many times.
Except for Shu Ning and Zhao Ru, everyone else was from different schools, and after a brief introduction to themselves, everyone quieted down and sat in the waiting room waiting for the plane.
Only Zhao Ru has been chatting with everyone very enthusiastically, of course, not including Shu Ning.
As soon as she saw Shu Ning, Zhao Ru showed that she was not familiar with her, so Shu Ning just said hello to her.
got on the plane, Shuning asked the flight attendant for a blanket and slept until he got off the plane.
During this period, Zhao Ru had already established a friendly relationship with several other people, sitting in the car to the town, they had been chatting very lively, only Shu Ning and the teacher who led the team did not participate.
She sat in the corner, staring out the window at the different scenery.
Occasionally, when Zhao Ru turned his head to look at her because of his loud voice, he would receive an extremely provocative gaze.
Then, after hearing any shocking words, Shuning did not look back.
Soon, the car drove to their destination, and the teacher took them out of the car and to the volunteer activity center in the town.
There were volunteers from all over the world, so the group of six was divided into two rooms.
After hearing the news, several people were a little stunned, except for the leading teacher and Li Zhixi.
Especially seeing that there was only one bed in the small room, Zhao Ru and Anna immediately clamored to go back, and Shu Ning also frowned with some concern.
Six people, only two people in the room.
In the end, there were two boys in one room and three girls in one room, and the teacher had volunteers who knew him and could share a room with them.
After the room was allocated, Zhao Ru and Anna didn't even want to enter the room, the two held hands and said that they wanted to go out for a walk to understand the surrounding environment.
So among the three girls, only Shuning was left alone, and she could only clean up the room by herself, after all, she had to sleep here at night.
In fact, there is nothing to tidy up, except for a bed in the whole room, there is only a low wardrobe.
Water was scarce, and she couldn't find water to scrub the bed and cupboards, so she simply cleaned up and went out.
After all, she was going to be here for a month, so she also wanted to familiarize herself with the environment first.
As soon as she walked out of the volunteer station, Shu Ning ran into Li Zhixi, she was thinking about whether to greet him, and he had already come to her.
Smile and ask her, "Are you going out for a walk too?" β
Shuning smiled faintly, politely and detached, "Well, I want to get to know the surroundings here." β
"Let's do it together!" Li Zhixi said, and then added, "In a strange place, I'm afraid that a person will get lost." β
Shuning nodded, "Well, let's go together." β
Both are Asian, but one is Korean and the other is Chinese, so the two communicate in English.
The two walked side by side, and most of the time it was Li Zhixi who was talking, and he told Shuning that he had already come to volunteer once, although it was not the same place, but it was also Africa.
So Shuning asked him about his last experience and the experience he had accumulated.
Li Zhixi told her all without reservation.
He told her that the conditions in the place where volunteers needed to come to help must be bad, but the conditions in this place are actually good, and the last time they went to the place, the conditions were even more difficult, the water source was scarce, the sanitary conditions were poor, the medical conditions were also poor, and infectious diseases were rampant, and their volunteers only stayed for a week and then couldn't hold on to going back.
Therefore, he thinks that if he really can't hold on this time, he will arrange for them to go back.
Hearing this, Shu Ning felt a little happy in his heart.
After all, it doesn't look so bad here, although there are a lot of people on the street, but the hygiene is okay, and there are no rumored swarms of flies.
After walking around, she still found that this place is different from the African town she imagined, the streets here, most of the stalls are women, and they have to take their children with them, they do business, and the children run around the street, and it is easy to hit pedestrians or be hit by cars.
They had been hit by these kids more than once.
Shu Ning was a little worried, and even wondered if he could give some advice to the leaders here.
She said this idea, which caused Li Zhixi to laugh.
Laughing enough, he suddenly asked, "You...... Why not with them? β
Shu Ning knew that he was referring to Zhao Ru and Anna.
"Why should I be with them?" She asked rhetorically, her face calm.
Li Zhixi looked at Shu Ning and suddenly realized, "Also, you are different from them." β
Shu Ning subconsciously asked, "What's the difference?" β
Li Zhixi said seriously: "Everything is different, I just went to see the dormitory, only you didn't show a particularly disappointed and reluctant expression, and you actually said that you want to give advice to the leaders here, hahaha......"
At this point, he laughed again, and when he had laughed enough, he said, "If the leaders here can easily listen to opinions, this is not the case here, and we don't need to come here to volunteer." β
Shu Ning was slightly annoyed, "Do you think I'm too naΓ―ve?" β
"No!" Li Zhixi shook his head, and his gaze became hot, "I think you are very kind." β
Shu Ning was stunned and stopped talking.
She never felt good, she just never did anything against her will.
The evaluation of others she hears the most about her is cold-hearted and unkind.
Even Memorial often says that she is too hard-hearted.
Kindness?!
It's the first time anyone has said that about her.
On the way back, Li Zhixi said: "We came here, do our best to do what we should do, and don't force anything else, even if we can't do it." β
Back at the volunteer station, it was time for dinner.
Zhao Ru and Anna had already returned, and her eyes widened when she saw Shu Ning and Li Zhixi coming in together.
Before she came, she had investigated the background of these volunteers who had come to volunteer, and she knew that Li Zhixi was the oldest, the most learned, and the most experienced of the five of them.
On the plane, she tried to talk to him, but he didn't pay much attention to her and only chatted with the teacher, so she changed her strategy
In her life, in just twenty-five years, she was still in love in the first fifteen years, and she never moved her heart for anyone in the next ten years.
Even the commemoration, she never really took it to heart.
