Listening to the pleading from behind, I raised my watch and looked at the time. It was half past ten, only two hours had passed.
"No! Keep fighting! If I don't stop, you can't stop either..." I stopped, thought about it, and then said, "Xia Xia, come here!"
Xia Xia wiped her sweat and walked to me.
"Xiaowei, don't be lazy! You and Yao Chi Muzi, the three of you are fighting! Don't stop! Don't let me catch you guys being clever!"
Xiaowei had no choice but to join Yao Chi's team with a grimace.
"Xia Xia, come over here, I have something to ask you!" I pulled Xia Xia behind the balance beam, and then we sat on the grass together.
"Xia Xia, tell me, what am I in your heart?"
Xia Xia put her arms around my shoulders and smiled slightly: "Friends of life and death."
In just four words, I understood.
"Then tell me truthfully what the sentence you didn't finish at noon was."
"Xiaomi..." Xia Xia looked at me hesitantly, wondering whether she should say it or not.
"Since it's hard for you to ask, let me ask you the next question..."
"go ahead……."
"Is there something different about me? Just after the car accident..."
Xia Xia was silent again. Judging from Xia Xia's behavior and expression, what I thought was absolutely correct. I must have forgotten something after the car accident.
"She is the captain of Red Eagle. You said you have been with her for five years. In other words, I have been with her for five years. If I hadn't forgotten some things after the car accident, I wouldn't have had any impression of her.
What’s more, we live together and fight together.”
My words made Xia Xia no longer hesitate and decided to tell the secret.
"Xiaomi...Actually, she is your mother. After your car accident, she remembered all of us but not her. She knew you were so strong, but she was afraid that your injury would trigger you again, so no one dared to tell you."
"Is she really my mother?"
"If you decide that she is not your mother, then at noon, I asked you to draw what she looks like in your mind. Why can't you draw it?"
"That's because the appearance of Mi Lan is just a vague figure in my mind. I found that I don't know what the so-called Mi Lan looks like in my mouth..."
"what about now……?"
"Xia Xia, do you know? Today at noon, in less than two hours, I actually quarreled with her twice, and she even hit me."
"The captain hit you?! Did you fight back?"
I grimaced and shook my head.
"That means you are reluctant to let go... You, Tang Xiaomi, have never been a person who suffers losses. The reason why you didn't fight back is because you still have a place for her in your heart, whether you remember her or not."
"I can't accept it when I suddenly believe that this person who is a complete stranger to me is my mother. Even if she is, I can't remember anything about her. How can I get along with her?! How can I get along with her like before?
She sleeps in the same bed?"
Xia Xia suddenly looked at me happily: "Xiaomi! Do you remember? You still remember that you used to sleep in the same bed!"
"Really? Why didn't I know?"
"You just...you said I couldn't remember anything about her, how I got along with her, how I slept in the same bed with her like before!"
"What does this mean...?"
"Xiaomi, you just forgot it temporarily, it's not that you can't remember it at all... Believe me, you will be fine one day! Just like before!"
Seeing Xia Xia's excited look, I opened my mouth for the first time: "Yeah."
"Xiaomi, you have to remember that your incompatibility is all in the past. In the past few years, you and the captain have gotten along very well. No matter whether you can accept this now or not, you can't do anything out of line...
…”
"I see……"
"Okay, it's time for me to carry out your order. Otherwise, I won't be able to run two hundred kilometers~" Xia Xia smiled narrowly.
Returning to the balance beam, I fell into thinking again, she is really my mother. Really! The way she looked at Lao Tang, did what Mi Lan should do, and the watch appeared in her hand, everything
It's all so logical, because she is Mi Lan, the only Mi Lan in the world!
Tang Xiaomi, you really deserve to be beaten. Look at what you said during the day! You actually said that she was the third party who destroyed your family, and you even said that she tainted your mother's things. You are really stupid~!
But after thinking about it, you still can’t blame me. After all, I don’t remember it. Mi Lan, you knew I was your daughter, but you still did it. You are really a tiger mother in the history of China!
But, how should I get along with her?
Soon it was twelve o'clock, and it felt a little distressing to see the exhausted comrades. Seeing them helping each other back to the dormitory, I smiled bitterly. Then I put my arms away and did the leapfrog.
Milan - this familiar yet unfamiliar word has become the biggest question in my mind... Who can tell me, how can I get along with her now?
It wasn't until I was covered in sweat that I stopped, wiping away the sweat and sighing...
Not far away, I saw Mi Lan standing there steadily, holding a thermos cup in his hand.
The place she was standing was the only way back to the dormitory from here. The total distance from me to hers was only thirty meters, but it felt like I had walked for as long as a century.
Our eyes met, no one spoke, she didn't know what to say, she was waiting for me to speak first.
I quietly looked at this heroic-looking woman in military uniform. She didn't need to apply makeup on her face or lightly sweep her eyebrows. Her mature femininity was still vividly displayed by her.
This person is my mother. I thought silently in my mind. We had just had an argument at noon, and I said a lot of nasty things. She knew she would come here, and I wouldn't say nice things, but she still came.
"Is something wrong?" I asked her.
She, who had always been calm and composed, was a little embarrassed at this time, and she couldn't even speak a sentence: "I'm going... I'll give you medicine. When I saw that your dormitory... was empty, I guessed that you must be training."
I nodded gently.
Seeing that I didn't have an extreme reaction, she continued: "I brought you hot water. I saw that you were sweating a lot just now, so don't catch a cold..."
Looking at her face, I had to admit that even though I was very unfamiliar with her, at that moment, I was still moved and even wanted to hug her.
"You came just to bring water?"
"Oh...um, yes."
I was touched again. She was not afraid that I would reject her. She came here so late just to bring me a cup of hot water. Mi Lan, how much more can you touch me?
I took the hot water from her hand and drank it all in one go. Screwing on the lid, I pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Just leave the cup to me..."
She nodded, her eyes full of smiles.
"It's very late, go back to sleep. The dew is heavy in late autumn, so don't catch a cold..."
She smiled softly: "Okay..."
I left the training ground before her. At this time, I still couldn't open my mouth to call her, maybe I wasn't used to it yet...
Looking at her daughter's leaving figure, Mi Lan smiled again. A deep dimple appeared on her beautiful face. Under the moonlight, her body seemed to be covered with a layer of white gauze, and the smile on her face was so noble...
…so holy.
Because it is a heart that deeply loves my daughter...
