Chapter Twenty-Nine: Goodbye Spring Flowers
I quit my job and went back to my hometown for a few days. In late spring and early summer, the quiet village is full of green mountains and flowers.
Xuanxuan and I sat under the tall ginkgo tree and told her stories. She didn't seem to understand, and she was always running around. She ran up behind me and lay on my shoulder.
I took her little hand and turned to look at her pink little face, suddenly feeling like I was slowly getting older. It's like spring is almost gone, and summer has quietly arrived. Looking down at the shady soil beneath your feet, I remembered the yellow spring flower.
"Xuanxuan, do you know what kind of spring flowers are?" I looked at her innocently like a white scarf. Then he spoke to himself.
"Spring flowers are not afraid of the cold, regardless of the terroir, she blooms in early spring and falls in late spring. There is also a children's rhyme, my aunt will teach you: spring flowers, yellow flowers, one by one like a trumpet, tick tick, what to say, tell you, spring is coming......"
At this moment, Yang Xin called.
"Sister, where are you? We went to your company and didn't find you. ”
"I resigned. Now in my hometown. Do you have something? ”
"My brother came to Hangzhou and wanted to see you." I could tell she was in a hurry.
I was silent, not knowing what to answer.
Yang An's earnest and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I want to see you! Where are you? ”
"I'm in my hometown."
"Then I'll go find ......"
"Don't! I'm sorry, I don't want to see you. ”
We were silent for a long time. I pressed the red AFK button anyway.
My heart ached faintly and vividly. I slowly crouched down and hugged myself tightly.
Watered with tears, the spring flower you sent was deeply buried. She bloomed there quietly, across the wet soil from me.
I'm sorry, I once loved the beautiful spring flowers, I want to say goodbye to you.
I missed the season of your bloom. It's early summer.
Let me say goodbye to you with tears this time without concealment.
If I can, I'll wait for you, in the early spring of the following year.
I returned to Hangzhou and found a job again, although the company is not as large as XC, but the professional counterpart, the salary is okay. Busy days go by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was early summer again.
Yang Xin is also going to Beijing for work. She came to my company that day to say goodbye to me.
The café next to the company is not doing very well. So it's been quiet and a little bit cold.
"Sister, I'm going to Beijing. Slowly the city is left with you alone. Aren't you thinking about going to Nanjing to find your boyfriend? ”
I turned my eyes to look out the window, which looked much brighter and a little more lively. Yes, the city is getting more and more beautiful, but the people close to me are getting farther and farther away.
Even the contact with Liu Yang is getting less and less. He hung up the phone after a hurried greeting every time, leaving only my tuk tuk voice. It was like my heart was sobbing.
But I can't tell Yang Xin this. I'm afraid that she will be worried, afraid that Yang An has not gone far, and afraid that he will feel hurt for me.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself. I should go to Nanjing later. ”
"Let's go to Nanjing early." Yang Xin also fell silent.
After a long time, Yang Xin stirred the half cup of coffee, and whispered as if she had plucked up a lot of courage.
"Sister, my brother got married in November last year, married to a rich girl from Beijing. I just went to work for one of her companies. There are better prospects for development. I'm sorry! Leave you here alone. ”
"Silly girl, what's so sorry. It's nice to be with your brother and sister-in-law and have a baby. ”
"Our family has moved to Beijing, and we want to see ...... in the future."
I put my hands on my forehead, I was so afraid of this parting that I didn't know if I would see again......
"Sister, I'll come back to see you." Yang Xin saw my uncontrollable sadness and comforted me.
"Hmm!" I lowered my head and drank that bitter cup of coffee......
