C134 (1/2)
Just as I was spinning in circles, a pair of ice-cold little hands covered my eyes. I was elated and knew that it was her. ”Guess who I am.”
Taking her hand off, I saw that Qin Xuemei was standing behind me with a smile on her face. For a moment, I didn't know how to describe the joy and excitement in my heart. She smiled and said, ”Why did you come so quickly? I thought I'd have to wait a while.” I'm afraid you've waited too long. ”
We took a walk in the park below her house, where the light was warm and white. It was quiet and peaceful, as if it were a fairyland far away from the mortal world. As she walked, she kicked at the rocks on the ground.
”When are you coming back?” She looked at the floor and asked me, ”I don't know either. It should be soon. Why did he come back before school started?”
She did not speak, and neither did I. We walked side by side, my heart pounding like a deer's, even without sound, for fear of destroying the atmosphere.
”Then help me take a photo.” She took out a thin camera and stood in front of the park lights, her face beaming. I took the camera and recorded this beautiful moment, and she handed it to me. This photo has been with me for a long, long time.
I don't remember how long we spent together before I went back. I only remember her waving at me from the stairs, her long hair flying, and that moment when this girl was the only one in my world, and I almost didn't want to move my feet. We said goodbye for a long time before we reluctantly left.
My master told me that being a girl is a hero. He said that if he wasn't a hero, it was because he was too obsessed with being a girl. However, in my eyes, a hero might not be good, but a lover might not be bad.
”Don't sleep anymore. You only know how to sleep in at such a young age. Do you have any prospects?” Early in the morning, senior sister imitated my master's tone and told me to get up. I couldn't help but laugh as I thought about our date last night. She looked at me and said, ”You're still laughing? I'm going to get angry. I really can't carve rotten wood.”
”Good morning, Senior Sister.” I rubbed my eyes as I explained. Senior sister said, ”What's the earlier? Master has already gone out to make a trip back.” I asked, ”Master, why are you out so early?” It's not about the tickets. ”
Usually, people in the department would arrange for such things, but the master said he didn't want to trouble others and always paid for himself. This time, he found out that there was no ticket at all, so the master stomped his foot and went to sleep, buying three trains to make up the tickets.
”It can't be, Master, why are you asking us to lie down so far away?” As I ate, I looked at the three bunks on the table.
”So what if you're lying down. Lying down isn't much better than sitting down. This is still the last three tickets to bed. Go ahead and be happy, or else we'll have to sit down.” I had no choice but to do so, but to think that we would have to spend a few hours in the cramped sleeping berth of the train.
After we finished eating, the foolish girl continued to play with him, returning to her normal appearance. She no longer had the ferocious look from yesterday. The more I looked at her, the colder my heart became.
After packing our luggage, the three of us headed straight for the train station. For some reason, I didn't feel safe on this trip to Beijing, even though we knew that we weren't the main force dealing with Pei Hong Du, and even Grand Uncle wasn't. But we still felt uneasy.
The dull atmosphere of the train calmed me down a little, and I climbed up onto my bunk. As the train swayed, I actually slept more soundly, and the people in the other shops did not show their faces.
After a long time, they finally arrived at BJ. Upon hearing that we were making a sleeper, the senior monk was surprised. Looking at the senior apprentice sister's dejected face, he joked, ”My junior apprentice sister has suffered so much on the way here, even her beauty has worn out.”
The Senior Sister stared at him and said, ”Senior Brother, you seem to have become quite a bit fatter.” The first senior brother took her luggage with a smile and said, ”You've indeed gotten fat. After coming back, you've eaten and slept every day, and you've also gotten a lot more meat.”
