Fast food restaurants are always full and noisy on weekends, and almost every table has children with them. When more than ten children gather together, they will turn any place into a kindergarten.
There was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in long-sleeved trousers and a peaked cap sitting on the two-seater seat next to the window. A four or five-year-old boy ran across the aisle and knocked over the girl she had placed on the table.
There was a cup of Coke beside him. The Coke flowed all over the floor and splashed a few drops on the boy. The woman with her hair permed angrily dragged the boy away and lectured the boy for soiling his clothes, ignoring the fact that the Coke was knocked over.
girl.
The waiter didn't notice that there was a small accident here. The pool of Coke lay quietly on the ground. People passing by it avoided it, but they still stepped on it accidentally. People who stepped on the Coke would throw their faces at the girl.
He looked at her with a condemning look, as if she was the culprit.
When the third person looked at her dissatisfied, Yao Mulan squatted down to pick up the Coke cup and wiped the floor clean with paper towels. When she got up with a bunch of dirty paper towels, she found two classmates standing in front of them. They
She was in the same class with her, but like the others, she had almost never communicated with her. During the holidays when they didn't have to go to school, they put on beautiful clothes and simply put on light makeup, making them look youthful and charming.
"Hey, Yao Mulan." A girl wearing a denim skirt greeted Yao Mulan in a friendly manner.
Yao Mulan was at a loss as to what to do with her greetings. She instantly forgot what she was supposed to do and sat down with the paper ball in her hands. Coca-Cola water flowed out from between her fingers and soiled her sleeves.
Seeing her like this, the two girls quietly exchanged meaningful glances. The girl in the short skirt said, "You haven't been to school these days. The head teacher said you were sick. Are you okay?"
Yao Mulan nodded, then remembered that she was holding a wad of paper in her hand and put it into the carton of hamburgers.
"Then let's go, bye."
They walked past her, and another girl said: "Why are you paying attention to her?"
Yao Mulan knew she did it on purpose because her voice was loud enough for everyone in the store to hear.
Diagonally opposite the fast food restaurant was the main entrance of a community, with cars and people coming and going. She looked at the gate of the community across the road through a glass window. She was waiting for someone, and had been waiting for a long time. Another ten minutes passed.
, it was already approaching evening, and the orange sunlight shone slantly through the gaps in the high-rise floors, casting sloping shadows.
A black off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road. She thought the car looked familiar. Before she could remember whose car it was, she saw Han Feilu get out of the car and walk towards the fast food restaurant. Han Feilu stood at the door and walked towards the restaurant.
He looked around and quickly found Yao Mulan sitting by the window, then walked over and sat across from Yao Mulan.
"What?" Yao Mulan asked.
Han Feilu: "Your nanny told me that you are here."
After not seeing each other for a few days, Yao Mulan had lost a layer of weight. Her face was hidden under the brim of her hat and covered by her long hair. Only her pointed jaw and bloodless lips were exposed. Her complexion was not good, she was pale and weak.
, the whole person was also depressed and depressed, like a seriously ill body crawling out of a hospital bed.
Han Feilu asked with concern: "Are you sick?"
Yao Mulan's voice was slow and slow, and it was difficult to say every word: "I have been seeing a doctor."
Han Feilu: "What did the doctor say?"
She took out a medicine bottle from her pocket and put it on the table, saying, "The doctor gave me another medicine."
Han Feilu recognized the drug, which was a psychotropic drug that suppressed severe depression. He was surprised. He had just learned that Yao Mulan was taking psychotropic drugs: "How long have you been diagnosed with depression?"
Yao Mulan frowned: "I don't remember, it seems like it's been a long time."
Perhaps she has been diagnosed with depression for a long time, but her previous state was far less serious than it is now. The exposure of her and Wenbo's deeds was the last straw that broke her spirit.
Her hands were covered with cola stains. Han Feilu took out a few tissues from the tissue box and dipped them in the water glass, then pulled her hand in front of him. Yao Mulan was startled and pulled her hand back, but she was very strong.
Xiao, Han Feilu pinched her wrist slightly to stop her. Han Feilu wiped the stain on her hand with a tissue and asked: "Is someone taking care of you?"
Yao Mulan was stunned for a while and then said: "Aunt Qin will remind me to take medicine."
Han Feilu: "Where is your mother?"
Yao Mulan: "She's not at home." She paused and then said, "She's often not at home."
As if she sensed something, she turned her head and looked across the road. A little light suddenly appeared in her gray eyes.
Han Feilu looked along her line of sight and saw Wenbo at the gate of the community across the road. Wenbo walked out of the community with two suitcases. There was a taxi standing on the roadside. The taxi driver helped him put the suitcases away.
into the trunk. Then his grandmother also walked out carrying a large bag. He took the package from his grandmother and put it into the trunk of the taxi. Obviously, they were moving, or would leave the city forever.
Only then did Han Feilu know that Yao Mulan came to this fast food restaurant today to say goodbye to Wen Bo, and he also realized that the last straw that crushed Yao Mulan's spirit was not that her and Wen Bo's deeds were exposed, but that Wen Bo was about to leave.
Today, Yao Mulan was not the only one who came to bid farewell to Wenbo. There were also several boys and girls of the same age as Yao Mulan, all of whom were classmates and friends of Wenbo. Wenbo stood under the afterglow of the setting sun, smiling and hugging his friends one by one to say goodbye. Several
The girls' eyes were red after hugging him.
Han Feilu looked at Yao Mulan and found that Yao Mulan's eyes were also red, but the expression on his face was very dull. He felt compassion and asked softly: "Aren't you going to say goodbye to him?"
Yao Mulan said: "I look very ugly."
The girl in the short skirt gave Wenbo a gift tied with a beautiful ribbon, and then hugged Wenbo again. She seemed to say something in Wenbo's ear, and then Wenbo turned around and looked at the fast food restaurant across the road.
; That moment of turning around and looking back left a silhouette of a young man looking back endlessly in the golden afterglow - even though it was clear that Wenbo couldn't see her, Yao Mulan still lowered her head to avoid his sight, as if she was driven away by the sun.
dark.
The taxi drove away, and the boys and girls standing on the roadside waved their arms to the taxi. They didn't leave together until the car turned around the intersection and disappeared.
Han Feilu couldn't help but comfort her: "You will have a chance to meet again in the future."
Yao Mulan said sadly and firmly: "There is no chance, there will be no chance again."
Han Feilu: "I can see that he likes you."
A wry smile escaped Yao Mulan's lips: "I know, and he knows too, so he left."
She picked up the backpack placed on the table and left the fast food restaurant. Han Feilu followed her out and walked side by side on the sidewalk with her. She walked very slowly, her thin figure seemed to be floating in the clouds, and her steps were light and without traces.
The sense of weight is like a ghost wandering in the world.
The two of them were silent and walked forward without saying a word for a while, before Yao Mulan asked: "What are you looking for me for?"
Han Feilu: "I want to ask you a favor."
Yao Mulan: "What are you busy with?"
Han Feilu: "Help us find Dou Qing."
Yao Mulan grabbed her backpack strap with both hands, lowered her head and walked forward for a while: "Did you catch them?"
Han Feilu: "Lorna and Liu Feng? Yes, we caught them." He chuckled, "You may not have thought that Lorna looks like Lin Lin's portrait."
Yao Mulan: "I know, I did it on purpose."
Han Feilu turned his head and looked at her: "Why?"
Yao Mulan smoothed her hair, and a few strands fell out and wrapped around her fingers. She looked at her hands and said: "I used to be angry and scared, but since I talked to you on the rainy day
, I am no longer angry or scared. I feel more relaxed than ever before because I am ready to give up everything."
Han Feilu only understood half of what she said. He stopped and turned to face Yao Mulan, bent down, put his hands on her shoulders, and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Yao Mulan looked at him in ecstasy for a moment and said, "You pick me up tomorrow morning and I will take you to Dou Qing."
She looked up at the sky. It was getting late, the sky was a deep dark blue, and the pale image of the setting sun was the newborn moon.
"It's getting dark, I'm going home." She walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi. When she opened the door and got in, she suddenly stopped. She turned back and smiled at Han Feilu, "Don't forget, tomorrow
Pick me up early."
Han Feilu watched the taxi she was riding in swim into the deep sea like a fish, and suddenly felt intense sadness in his heart; Yao Mulan asked him to pick her up tomorrow, but he felt that Yao Mulan had left him forever.
