Chapter Eighty-Nine
I dragged my sleepy body on the plane back, and there were nightmares along the way. After many years, I dreamed again of the speeding truck, the red and piercing blood, and the broken figure. In my dreams, I relived the accident countless times, watching familiar scenes rotate endlessly, but I could only freeze in place, allowing tragedy to come again and again. Dreams are unpredictable, and the process is not the same, but the ending of dreams is always the same. Every time I woke up, the subtle differences of the dream would quietly and little by little be mixed into my memory, so that I could not distinguish between what was illusory and what was real...... For example, did I reach out to save Xingyuan, and for example, did Xingyuan smile at me...... Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is meaningless to dwell on the details, after all, no matter what the truth is, it cannot change the established facts. That being said, I still can't let go of it. I longed for the answer, but I was afraid to know. If all the doubts that linger in my heart are confirmed, then how can I forgive myself? How to spend the rest of your life?
After getting off the plane, I still hadn't recovered from my chaotic thoughts, and it wasn't until Tang Xin, who came to pick up the plane, inquired that I was stunned to find that my hands were empty. After several twists and turns, I finally found my luggage at the lost and found area, and then followed Tang Xin out of the airport in a daze. Not long after getting in the car, I leaned on Tang Xin and fell asleep groggy, and when I woke up, it was already dark.
"Have you slept enough?" Tang Xin poked my cheek and whispered softly.
I rubbed my eyes and nodded dumbly.
"It's time for the restaurant, let's go eat first."
I looked at the front row in surprise, and then I recognized that the driver was Tang Xin's pianist boyfriend. "Hello......" I was ashamed to think of my heroic sleeping appearance.
"Hello!" The pianist smiled shyly at me and said gently, "You can put your luggage in the car first, and I'll come back to pick you up later." ”
"Won't you eat together?" I smiled back.
"No, you can talk slowly." The pianist graciously waved his hand and drove away.
Every weekend at dinner time, it is always difficult to find a restaurant nearby, but fortunately Tang Xin booked a table early, otherwise I am afraid that I would have fainted from hunger after waiting for a few tables.
Tang Xin gracefully held her chin and quietly looked at me who was gobbling up, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Why are you hungry like this? Are you not used to eating Yunnan food? ”
"Of course not! It's just that I woke up late today and didn't have time for lunch......" I replied as I sucked up the lemon tea in my cup.
Tang Xin thoughtfully handed me his drink, and continued to ask lightly: "By the way, why didn't you reply to my message last night?" I slept so late today, could it be that there was something ...... Adventure? After saying that, Tang Xin laughed maliciously.
"Nope! Don't talk nonsense! I hurriedly denied it.
"Otherwise, what's going on? Your face doesn't look right, it doesn't look like you've just gone on a trip. ”
Under Tang Xin's concerned gaze, I knew that I had no choice but to explain to her yesterday's experience in 1510.
I thought that Tang Xin would fiercely reproach me for getting too carried away and putting myself in danger, but I didn't want her to put all her attention and curiosity on my reunion with Fang Zheng.
"So...... Is that traffic police handsome? Tang Xin winked at me and smiled evilly.
I stared straight at the flickering candlelight on the table, lost in thought. Although I chatted with Fang Zheng face-to-face for a while last night, I didn't think about taking a good look at him at all. Now that he thinks about it, he can barely remember the few white scars that the years have left on his dark and strong arms. "It's fine......" I replied vaguely.
"Liar, how can the captain of the school basketball team not be handsome?" Tang Xin deliberately pretended to be fussed, which made people feel that they couldn't cry or laugh.
"The impression is average...... Well, I really didn't look closely......" I reluctantly admitted.
"Forget it, but don't forget to take a few more photos next time for me to see!"
"Don't think about it, I haven't gotten to the point where I can take a photo with him......"
"But isn't he clearly interested in you? Otherwise, who will waste precious vacation time on you? Tang Xin asserted in an extremely serious and confident tone.
"I didn't just say it, he made it clear that he didn't mean anything to me." I glanced at Tang Xin and retorted angrily.
"Oh, don't be angry, maybe he's being shy...... The point is, do you have any thoughts about him? ”
"As I said earlier, I don't have any interest in him!" Looking at Tang Xin's expectant appearance, I was secretly glad that I didn't mention the existence of the piano princess to her, otherwise she would have continued to make things out of nothing and use the topic to play.
"But...... Now that the opportunity is in front of us, why not try to get to know each other? Or do you already have a heart? ”
Hearing this, a name flashed through my mind.
"Nope!" I shook my head resolutely. Of course, I can understand Tang Xin's kindness, she hopes that I can taste the sweetness of love like her, but she is favored by fate and does not understand my feelings when I have never been favored by fate - I would rather miss love than exchange my only dignity for the possibility of love.
"Then what's there to hesitate about? In my opinion, you just have to dress up nicely on the day of the meeting, and as for the outcome, it's up to you. ”
"Don't ...... I don't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings. "I stuck my fork hard into the chicken chop to show my displeasure.
"Even if you don't need to win his favor, there's nothing wrong with making yourself look decent...... It's always rude to meet old classmates. ”
Listening to Tang Xin's words, I couldn't help but feel a little shaken in my heart. "I think about thinking about ......"
I didn't expect that Fang Zheng was not the only one who attended the appointment that day. Fortunately, I followed Tang Xin's advice and dressed up carefully, otherwise I would inevitably regret my stubbornness for a few days......
