26. Don't punish yourself for someone else's mistakes
In the alley next to the pharmacy.
Ning Yidong was handing the pack of tissues in his hand to the crying girl who was kneeling on the ground.
The girl stared at him with red and swollen eyes, her voice was a little choked, and her shoulders twitched from time to time, but she didn't say a word, just looked up at him.
Ning Yidong felt that the girl in front of him was a little unmoved, and he couldn't do anything for a while.
"That, I just want to ......"
For a long time, the girl wearing a mask still didn't do anything, her eyes still revealed grievances, and she sobbed quietly.
"What's wrong with her? Why are you still crying and looking at me, just like my stupid old sister?"
Ning Yidong shook his head helplessly and sighed slightly.
This situation reminded him of his childhood, when Ning Yizhuo hid in the corner and secretly cried alone every time he felt wronged or injured and painful.
Every time he found it, her eyes were red and swollen like the girl in front of him, but he didn't say anything, and he had to coax her for a while to get rid of it.
"Well, that's it."
"Then I'll be rude."
Ning Yidong squatted down in front of her, pulled out one of the tissues in his hand, and was about to reach out and wipe the tears on the girl's face and the crystal tears in her eyes with the tissue.
After touching the smooth skin on the girl's face, Ning Yidong's first feeling was, well, it's quite Q-bomb.
Before he could make a move, the girl turned her head and looked away.
"Cui sent Hamida," sensing the girl's resistance, Ning Yidong also scratched his head a little embarrassed, "I just see you so uncomfortable, I want to ......"
"No... No need. ”
Maybe because she had just cried, the girl's voice was a little hoarse, but it was not difficult to hear that the girl had a great and pleasant voice.
The girl's crying stopped, she struggled to get up, and then suddenly stumbled, still not getting up.
"Feet... My feet are numb. ”
Although the volume of this low voice was very small, Ning Yidong in front of him still heard it. He looked at the girl's distress, stood up, and then bent down and stretched out his hand to pull her.
"Come, take my hand."
The girl rubbed her numb legs, then looked at his clear eyes, hesitated for a while, but still stretched out her small hand and slowly grabbed his hand.
The girl's body was very light, and Ning Yidong didn't use much strength to pull her up.
After the girl stood up, she tidied up the messy clothes on her body, and then put on the mask more tightly, and the expression in her eyes changed from helplessness and sadness at the beginning to a little alert.
Feeling the change in the expression of the girl in front of her, Ning Yidong also sneered, "You're okay, I'm just... It's just a passer-by, and when you cry alone, you come over to see if there is anything you can do to help. ”
Well, this is the warm-hearted heart of the Northeast people.
The girl was still a little wary of him, and looked at him without saying a word.
"Oh, by the way, the pharmacy next door is mine," Ning Yidong was a little flustered by her looking at her like this, and then waved her hand and added, "I... I have no ill will. ”
Listening to Ning Yidong's explanation, the girl's tense body slowly relaxed, and the alertness in her eyes slowly disappeared.
"I... I'm fine. ”
Ning Yidong was also relieved when he saw this, he thought that he was being treated as a gangster boy with bad intentions.
Looking at the tears on the girl's face that were still not dry, he still handed the remaining pack of tissues to the girl, "Oh, take it, wipe your face." ”
The girl took the pack of tissues, and then looked down to see the pattern on the tissues, but she couldn't help laughing for a moment.
"Poof," and then she seemed to sense something was wrong, "No... I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to. ”
"It's fine."
Ning Yidong responded to him with a smile, but he wanted to cry without tears in his heart.
"Ah Yixi, how did I take out that pattern of tissues, I am embarrassed and embarrassed."
The pattern on the tissue is exactly what a panda looks like with a face, and there is a sentence below: How can there be such a handsome person as me in the world.
That's right, this pack of tissues was ordered by Jiang Xu personally, and because he was in a hurry to leave, he didn't pay much attention to it and took a pack out for emergency.
I saw that the girl quickly took out a tissue and gently wiped the tears on her face and the tears in her eyes.
"Thanks... Thank you. ”
Seeing that the girl bowed her head slightly and apologized, Ning Yidong naturally had to react.
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to take it to heart."
"But can I ask why you're crying here alone?"
The girl hesitated and sniffed, while the corners of her mouth kept trembling.
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it."
"It's okay, it's okay to talk about it."
The girl leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky, but her eyes seemed to be full of exhaustion.
Ning Yidong looked at her very puzzled, this girl looked about the same age as him, how could she feel like a teenager and an old man.
"Do you know that bad speech on the Internet is actually harmful to people."
"Why, you..."
"Well, it's because of those doubts and abuses on the Internet that I'm hiding here and digesting myself alone."
The girl turned to look at him, her eyes full of helplessness.
"Do those who join later have to be treated unfairly? Does it have to be insulted by those who don't know? That's not something I can decide. Hehe. ”
Even though he was wearing a mask, Ning Yidong could feel her self-deprecation and helplessness, he sighed slightly, and looked at the boundless night sky.
"I'll tell you a story."
"There was a tortoise, and one day it was going to compete with a hare to see who would run first to the finish line, and many people questioned it and insulted it, saying that a slow tortoise could outrun a hare and that it was humiliating to himself because he was not able to do it."
"However, the turtle did not give up, it did not care about the gossip, it just moved forward step by step, and finally won the victory, although there are many other factors in this, but it is precisely because of its non-giving up, it is unmoved in the face of doubts, and it has a good result."
The girl stared at his handsome face, then lowered her head, as if thinking about something.
For a long time, she met his eyes, and her eyes seemed to reveal firmness.
"Thank you."
Ning Yidong smiled, "So, there's no need to pay attention to those clowns on the Internet, they will only strike the Internet." ”
"Let's not punish ourselves for other people's mistakes, so that we can only be hurt in the end."
Suddenly, two mobile phone ringtones rang at the same time.
Jingle bell~
Ning Yidong took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Jiang Zhengdong's phone, "Ah, someone is coming to pick me up, I have to go first, you take care of yourself." ”
Then he turned and left.
The girl looked at his stupid back when she ran up, and she was also amused, and the smile in her eyes couldn't help but be revealed.
Then she also picked up the phone, only to see a few nervous and anxious voices coming from there.
"Coconut pear rice, where did you go on the big night, don't you know that we will be worried?"
"That's right." ×3
"Don't use the rhetoric on the network, they're just..."
"Alright, Ernie, I'm fine", the girl interrupted, "I'm just out for a walk, don't worry about me, I'm a strong Jin Yilin." ”
"Then come back quickly, don't worry us."
"Hmm."
As she said that, she hung up the phone, remembering what had just happened and who had just happened, and she burst out laughing.
"Don't you punish yourself for other people's mistakes?"
"Ernie, I just met a very nice person."
"But I won't tell you."
