Another week passed, it was plain and plain, Fangmei seemed to deliberately avoid me, and it was more like the tranquility before something big happened.
That evening, when I saw Fang come back and enter the door, I finally couldn't help it.
Meimei, have you thought about it?Which one should I accept?, I didn't mention funding her because that was not a problem for me.
I'm about to tell you.Fangmei hung up the bag and sat down in the kitchen.
The teacher said that the admissions officers here held a meeting today, and the list has been confirmed. Without me, the teacher also said that Srry was very sorry., Fangmei said weakly, it seems that she can only go to Australia if she wants to go, and my dad can still support her.
Isn't it okay to stay here without a scholarship?Didn’t the teacher say he was willing to take you?, I didn't give up and continued to ask.
If there is no scholarship, it will be too much.I believe what you said that day, but I haven't thought about it yet., Fangmei is still very hesitant.
Meimei, what I said that day was absolutely serious, why can't you accept it?It doesn’t make much difference to me if you go to Australia or stay here. I hope you make your choices according to your heart., I told her again clearly.
Do you know what my mother said to me before leaving?Fangmei didn't answer me, sat on the chair and raised her head, looking straight at the ceiling.
I sat down, listened quietly, and didn't say anything more.
After my mother got into a car accident, she fell into a coma in the emergency room for many days. She didn't react until I went there. She woke up and said to me: Don't be sad, people always have to part.The most important thing to let me live well is to live by my own abilities and not rely on anyone.I felt her hands slowly becoming cold, and my mother's words were like a knife engraved into my heart. This is her last expectation for me., the corners of the beautiful eyes, tears flowed down silently.
My mother has been financially dependent on my father since she got married. My father doesn't cherish her. She cheated and cheated, which hurt my mother's heart, otherwise she wouldn't have a car accident...There are many kinds of separations in the world, and separation from mother is probably the most unbearable.
So I want to rely on myself. I know you are good to me and don’t ask for anything in return, but I still can’t pass this level in my heart.I forced my dad to pay, and a large part of it was a revenge on my mom.I will definitely not rely on him in the future., how much pain did her mother leave left her? I'm afraid she will never be able to let go.
Meimei, I understand.You can make any decision, I just want you to be fine.
Thanks.I feel that I have drawn a lot of frames for myself, or cages, and encircled myself. Although it may be that it is sunny to break through it, I just can't take that step. Maybe that's my destiny., Fangmei sighed, she had never heard her say such a thing.
Suddenly I felt that the little girl in front of me had grown a lot and matured a lot.
Sometimes I think that the road of life is also very simple, it is just a series of choices of all sizes, and different choices will also create a completely different life.
We work so hard and strive to become excellent, but there is only more room for choice.
Now it seems that Fangmei has no choice, and her father doesn't let go and support her fully, and she doesn't dare to take the Australian side.
For several days, I didn't seem to have a smile at all and was depressed.
That afternoon, I was having a meeting and my cell phone vibrated. Fangmei called me, but I didn't answer. Just as she was about to reply to her text message, she sent me a message.
I'll treat you to a big meal tonight, there's something good.
Hey, there is a new deal?I didn't ask, just said ok, thinking there must be a surprise.
After get off work, she hurriedly drove home. As soon as she entered the door, Fangmei ran down from the upper floor.
Brother, I have a fuck!Before I could ask, she shouted excitedly, and then said that my teacher contacted one of her alumni and said that he was trying to recruit a student with a background like me and give me a full prize!
Is that great?, I was so excited that I wanted to hug her and walk around in place.
Are you sure?Have you sent you a whistle?, I still can't believe this is true.
There should be no problem. The teacher called me a video call and chatted for a long time and was very satisfied.It should be fine if I say I will attend a joint interview with the admissions office next week.yeah!, Fangmei's excitement is still there.
That's great, there's no better result than this.I'll just say, you're great., I kept praising her, and I was very happy.
No, I ordered this Western meal and invite you to a big meal tonight., When I saw it, it was a very famous and expensive Italian restaurant.
Ah, this restaurant, is too wasteful.
No expense, you have helped me too much, and you have also contributed to it.Let’s talk about it...Anyway, I have to invite this meal., Fangmei said firmly.
I thought to myself, naturally I won’t let you pay by then.
This restaurant is indeed very high-end, with warm and ambiguous lighting. Most of them are surrounded by couples, and candles are lit on each table, which is full of atmosphere.
The candlelight illuminates the dinner, but it cannot be answered. Love is not a warm treat.
For some reason, I suddenly remembered the lyrics of Eason Chan.Then what is love?Unexpectedly, when I was about to be forty, I began to be confused again.
Fangmei has experienced a lot in the United States this year, and it is effortless to communicate with each other in ordering food. Steak is skillfully said Medium Well.
It’s not good to eat Western food. It’s too quiet and you can hardly speak out when talking. Most of the people around you are tender and sweet, and laughter keeps coming.
It's a bit embarrassing to come here for a meal in a relationship like us.
After I finished eating, I went to the bathroom to settle the bill. After I came back, I chatted with Fangmei for a while. When Fangmei asked the waiter for the bill, someone told her that the table was free. Fangmei glanced at me and said, "You're free. I really deserved to invite you for this meal. She left some cash tips and got up and came out.
This restaurant is not far from my house, and I got home quickly by car.
The steak is a bit hard, I would have to be cooked if I had known it.Oh, it’s better to go to a Chinese restaurant and at least you can chat more., when we got home and sat down, we returned to normal volume conversation.
It's okay, I'll treat you to a meal next time, you can try a little bit of it., I smiled and said, "Hey, do you want to buy a suitable piece of clothing for the interview next week? Let's take a look at it on the weekend."
Hi, no, remote interview, I can just pass it on.
Why is it still remote?Isn't it in school?, I heard something was wrong.
It's not this school Ah, I didn't mention it, right?, Fangmei said.
Which school?
Boston Ah.
I felt a thunderclap in my head, as if I heard a thunderclap.Boston, the eastern United States, means Fangmei is leaving.I instantly understood why she said she had to invite this meal.
Oh Boston Ah, a great place., I said this sentence inertially.
I have always wanted to go there to check it out, and I hope I will pass the interview next week and don’t cause any trouble.Fangmei then knocked on the table three times, afraid that she would be a crow's mouth.
I stood up tactically and poured two glasses of water, my heart was already turbulent.
Ding Ding Ding, Fangmei's phone rang at this time, it was a WeChat video.
Hello, dad, I'm about to tell you..., Fangmei seems to have not shared this good news with her dad.
Hello, is it Liu Fangmei?, not her father's voice.
I am, who are you?How to use my dad’s WeChat?Fangmei asked, owing her body.
Oh, I am a doctor from the Municipal People's Hospital. My surname is Dong, don't worry, listen to me slowly.Your dad is in the emergency room of the hospital. Your dad's lover asked me to contact you and asked you to come back. If you need it, you have to make some decisions.
Fangmei was stunned for a moment.
Emergency room?What's wrong with my dad?Fangmei's tone was quick.
I had a sudden stroke, but fortunately I sent it in time and the surgery has been done. I can see if I can wake up tomorrow., the doctor over there replied.
How could I have a stroke?Is there any danger?Fangmei was at a loss and looked at me.
Don't worry, the operation was successful.Her lover had a miscarriage yesterday and was hospitalized, which may be the cause of the stroke.She asked me to inform you that you are his daughter and just tell you if you have anything to do., answer over there, I will give you a WeChat account later, you can add me, I will contact you tomorrow, okay., Fangmei agreed.
It seems that Fangmei's stepmother unfortunately had a miscarriage. Her son lost her father and could not withstand the blow for a while. She fell ill and her stepmother was unable to take care of her. She found Fangmei.
Fangmei hung up the phone, was stunned for a moment, and then called again.
Uncle, where are you?Do you know about my dad?Oh, I know Ah is on the way to the hospital, OK, you go there first, I will book the earliest flight to return to China, right.OK uncle, the family depends entirely on you. Don’t bother with my dad before, and then talk about it when he gets cured.Yes, OK, OK.Please help me with the medical expenses first, and I will find a way after I go back.Uh-huh.It was obviously Fangmei who asked her uncle to visit her father.
I was surprised that when this big change occurred, Fangmei was surprisingly calm at this time.While talking, he glanced at me.
I'll check the flight, you continue yours., I whispered to her, Fangmei nodded.
The first flight back to Guangzhou was flying directly at around 5 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
I asked Fangmei, can it be?
Fangmei took a look and nodded and said yes, please order.
Because I just used Fangmei’s passport information two days ago, the ticket booking was completed in minutes.
All night, Fangmei was talking on the phone with people in China and also checked the consequences of stroke and treatment knowledge online.Her calmness and self-control made me look at me with admiration and also made me feel a little worried.
The next morning, I didn't go to work, and it was a little late and I didn't see any movement upstairs. I went upstairs and knocked on the door. Fangmei responded inside.
Meimei, I came in Ah.Fangmei sat on the bed with her hair a little scattered, and she probably didn't sleep well all night.
I didn’t sleep much at night, how is your dad doing?, I asked.
My uncle said he was not awake yet, so I checked it. It was very important to have a 24-hour period after the operation. Whether he can recover depends on this period of time., It seems that Fangmei has been learning about relevant information.
Meimei, I think your dad needs you very much now. Otherwise, you might be able to talk to your dad through his uncle’s WeChat, which may help him wake up., I comforted.
It makes sense, I'll hit it now., Fangmei also feels this way.
OK, you can fight first, I'll go downstairs to get you some food.After saying that, I exited the room and went downstairs.
After a while, Fangmei's voice came from the upstairs, like a normal chat, and occasionally laughed.
Alas, I won't come up with a bad idea.
I had just finished the noodles and heard Fangmei washing upstairs. I quickly came downstairs.I served the noodles, afraid that she would not have the appetite, so I was about to persuade her, but she picked up the bowl and started eating.
I talked to my dad, he will definitely wake up, right Jack., Fangmei seemed to be asking me, and she seemed to be talking to herself.
Yes, sure., I said with certainty.
Fang Mei had just finished her noodles with big mouthfuls, and her cell phone rang. It was Dr. Dong who called her.
Hello, your dad is awake.From the perspective of our doctor, we should have passed this level.But he still needs rest, you can talk about it later, just like that, I still have a patient.Thank you Ah, thank you doctor, Fangmei's reply was a little trembling.
Put down the phone and look back at me.
Brother, my dad woke up.Woo woo woo woo woo woo...I almost lost my dad.Fangmei could no longer hold it back and hugged me and burst into tears. From last night to now, she was under too much pressure.
I patted her lightly, allowing her to release her suppressed emotions.
They will all be fine, beautiful., I comforted.
Well, it will be fine.I was really afraid that he would leave like this, and the last thing I said to him was to him.Now it's OK.I also called my aunt and comforted her.Actually, I don’t hate her at all, they can have a baby.It seems that overnight, all the knots and beauty were full of beauty.
Meimei, take good care of yourself.I'll take you to the airport tomorrow, and you'll see if you'll postpone your interview next week., Fangmei said it was right, I thought about it and could be interviewed from the domestic video. I'll go back to see the situation.
Later, Fangmei called her uncle again and told him to take good care of her father and she would be home the day after tomorrow.
All afternoon, Fangmei spent tidying up the house and packing things.
Maybe it was the moment of parting. I think so. If Fangmei passes the interview, she might have flew to Boston directly when she comes to the United States. Even if it doesn't, she will go to Australia. In short, there may be no more here and me in her future life trajectory.
In the evening, I made several dishes, maybe this was the last supper before parting.
Fangmei came downstairs and saw the dishes on the table, so she stopped on the stairs.
Let's have a meal. You've been very tired these two days. Come and eat more., I motioned her to sit down.
My dad is much better and can speak.Fangmei looked relieved, and he asked me to make arrangements before going back, and I said I wanted to take care of him as soon as possible.
Let’s go back, family is the most important thing. Some things you missed will never be compensated., I told her.
Well, I only realized it now. When my dad said he was in a coma, he kept hearing my voice...Fangmei choked as she said, and tears were about to stay.
Blood is thicker than water, he wakes up when he hears you speak., I saw that she didn't pick up food, so she brought the plate of chicken wings to her. Meimei, eat more, you should take care of yourself now, your family needs you.
Fangmei nodded and nodded.
And you handled Dad’s affairs very well this time and was very calm. Your dad will be very pleased and proud.I think you are amazing, too., I encouraged her to say.
This world will not allow anyone to be a child all the time, unless it is with someone who loves him.But they will never stay with them, and no one will stay with them., Fangmei said, looking at me.
I know exactly what she means.
It’s Ah, the road of a person’s life is short and long, and it’s enough for some people to accompany him for a short period of time.
I refilled some wine for both cups and raised it.
I wish you: Everything will be better in the future and a better life than me., I reached out to clink glasses with her, and Fangmei raised her hand to avoid it.
No, I want you to live a better life than me., after saying that, he turned back and touched it, and both of them drank it all in one go.
I'll send you the electronic ticket. I'll check-in before departure later, so that I can save some time., I took a look at the hanging table and it was already past 10 o'clock.
Now that I start sleeping, I can only sleep for 4 hours.
I can sleep on the plane any longer. I am not sleepy now, so please accompany me to the sofa to chat., Fangmei said.
After simply packing the dining table, we both came to the sofa in the living room and sat down.The moonlight outside the window was like snow, which looked like the night we were praying to each other, and I couldn't help but laugh.
Meimei, do you still remember the time we worshipped brother and sister?That was the moon that day.
Haha Of course I remember that we couldn’t say anything about our lines, so we were so laughed to death., Fangmei smiled for the first time in two days.
There seems to be only a very thin isolation line between Fangmei and me, with icebergs on one side and flames on the other side, sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, and we both swayed at the edge of this line, sometimes left and right.
Brother, can I borrow your shoulders and lean on them for a while? I am so sleepy but I can't sleep.Fangmei moved closer, so I took a sofa cushion and placed it on my lap to signal her to lie over.
Fangmei put down the wine bottle and lay down on her side, only half of it could be seen facing outward, white and beautiful.
I really want to lean over and kiss her, but there is no slight desire at this moment.
Fangmei seemed to notice it, and got up and rode on my legs and kissed her. I held her head in both hands, and kissed her fiercely as my hair wrapped around her hair.
Beautiful, goodbye...I can just hold you for a while.I looked at her with a pity, not wanting her to do anything against her will.
But I want to give it to you.Otherwise I can't sleep.Fangmei kissed her back, and she could no longer refuse in the confusion. It didn't take long, and it was intense and beautiful, so it happened naturally.
After several days of anxiety and fatigue, she was too sleepy. She lay on my legs afterwards and soon breathed evenly.I unfolded the blanket at hand and covered her.
The beating of the second hand tower on the watch is closer to the moment of parting every second.
When the alarm clock rang at 2 o'clock, I woke up in a daze and raised my head from the sofa, knowing that it was time.Fangmei turned over, subconsciously hugged me, and did not get up immediately.
It's time to get up., I patted her.
One minute, just one minute., I hugged her with my backhand, very tight, as if I wanted to embed her into my body.
After a long time, Fangmei let me go.
Meimei, go and prepare it. Don’t forget to bring the ID. Please tell me about the others later. You can mail it., I told her.Fangmei nodded and went upstairs.
After a while, Fangmei called me to go up and help carry the box.When I came upstairs, I saw her wearing a jeans, T-shirt, travel hat, and a simple outfit.
On the way to the airport, both of them were a little silent. Looking from the rearview mirror, Fangmei mostly stared out the window in a daze.At this moment, think more about time being able to go slower.
After arriving at the airport, I parked the car, and I quickly walked to the hall with my suitcase and checked my luggage.Until I couldn't send her forward, I took a card from my wallet and stuffed it into Fangmei's hand.
What is this?Fangmei asked, holding the card in her hand.
UnionPay card, this is the amount of money I stayed in China before going abroad. I checked yesterday that it was more than 120,000 yuan. I don’t need it anyway. You can take it first. Your dad must need it in the hospital. I don’t want you to find someone to borrow money everywhere after you go back. Don’t refuse if you listen to me.Seeing that my tone was firm, Fangmei nodded, and tears surged in her eyes.
The password is 120719, yes, the last four are your birthday.Your birthday is coming soon, just treat it as a birthday gift., I only noticed after reading Fangmei's passport.
Who would have thought that when I booked a flight ticket to the United States, Fangmei was celebrating her 17th birthday somewhere, and many years later, we met in the United States again, which was amazing.
Brother, I...Fangmei was about to say something, but I stopped her.
Besides, I missed the flight, go to security check., I opened my arms and signaled for a final hug, and Fangmei rushed over.
Let's turn around together, leave and keep walking, make a bet, whoever turns back will be the puppy., I said in Fangmei's ear, Fangmei's tears flowed and nodded.
Let go, turn around, and leave, Fangmei pretended to be determined.
I didn't turn around, but slowly walked backwards and looked out of the hall, looking at her. Maybe she kept holding on until the security door, and then looked back at me and smiled at me.
Just back in the car, Fang Mei sent a WeChat message.
Puppy, you're looking back.
You are.I'm walking backwards, not looking back, haha., I reply.
Then, I saw her keep typing, I started the car and paid the parking fee, and left the airport.
Just ten minutes after leaving the airport, Fang Mei sent a WeChat message, which seemed to be a very long paragraph.
I slowed down, parked the car on the side of the road and turned off the fire, and read it carefully.
Jack, I can only be grateful for everything you do.I understand your thoughts very well. Maybe I have too many concerns and should be braver, but I asked my heart and looked at the reality, but I still couldn't do it without any scruples.Besides, I am still very uncertain about the future, so I cannot make any promises to anyone. Please forgive me.I may come back to the United States or may not come, but I will remember everything here, everything is beautiful.I am really lucky to meet you. In my heart, I can't position your role, but no matter which role, you have given me a high reference standard. I really don't know if I will have such good luck again in the future.Which one is more regretful to miss or choose wrong? Only time will know the answer.Also, I don’t regret everything that happens between you and me, and it has nothing to do with everything outside of you.I accepted the bank card, and you will be rewarded after you accept it.
I read every word blankly, groping the snow mountain key chain in my hand, and in an instant I seemed to have lost all my strength, only one feeling: empty.
Boom boom boom, at this time a Boeing 737 flew overhead, would it be the flight that Fangmei took?
After the plane, everything around me returned to tranquility. I really don’t know how to have the courage to face those rooms full of memories and beautiful shadows after I got home.
I turned on the audio in the car and Eason Chan's song "We" came. Suddenly, I understood the full meaning of the lyrics:
What should be said, stop talking
You know, that's enough
There is really a kind of sadness
Even tears cannot shed
Only watch,
My biggest regret,
It's your regret that has something to do with me
No period,
Already perfect
Why misunderstand the story?
Didn't finish speaking
…………
over
That evening, when I saw Fang come back and enter the door, I finally couldn't help it.
Meimei, have you thought about it?Which one should I accept?, I didn't mention funding her because that was not a problem for me.
I'm about to tell you.Fangmei hung up the bag and sat down in the kitchen.
The teacher said that the admissions officers here held a meeting today, and the list has been confirmed. Without me, the teacher also said that Srry was very sorry., Fangmei said weakly, it seems that she can only go to Australia if she wants to go, and my dad can still support her.
Isn't it okay to stay here without a scholarship?Didn’t the teacher say he was willing to take you?, I didn't give up and continued to ask.
If there is no scholarship, it will be too much.I believe what you said that day, but I haven't thought about it yet., Fangmei is still very hesitant.
Meimei, what I said that day was absolutely serious, why can't you accept it?It doesn’t make much difference to me if you go to Australia or stay here. I hope you make your choices according to your heart., I told her again clearly.
Do you know what my mother said to me before leaving?Fangmei didn't answer me, sat on the chair and raised her head, looking straight at the ceiling.
I sat down, listened quietly, and didn't say anything more.
After my mother got into a car accident, she fell into a coma in the emergency room for many days. She didn't react until I went there. She woke up and said to me: Don't be sad, people always have to part.The most important thing to let me live well is to live by my own abilities and not rely on anyone.I felt her hands slowly becoming cold, and my mother's words were like a knife engraved into my heart. This is her last expectation for me., the corners of the beautiful eyes, tears flowed down silently.
My mother has been financially dependent on my father since she got married. My father doesn't cherish her. She cheated and cheated, which hurt my mother's heart, otherwise she wouldn't have a car accident...There are many kinds of separations in the world, and separation from mother is probably the most unbearable.
So I want to rely on myself. I know you are good to me and don’t ask for anything in return, but I still can’t pass this level in my heart.I forced my dad to pay, and a large part of it was a revenge on my mom.I will definitely not rely on him in the future., how much pain did her mother leave left her? I'm afraid she will never be able to let go.
Meimei, I understand.You can make any decision, I just want you to be fine.
Thanks.I feel that I have drawn a lot of frames for myself, or cages, and encircled myself. Although it may be that it is sunny to break through it, I just can't take that step. Maybe that's my destiny., Fangmei sighed, she had never heard her say such a thing.
Suddenly I felt that the little girl in front of me had grown a lot and matured a lot.
Sometimes I think that the road of life is also very simple, it is just a series of choices of all sizes, and different choices will also create a completely different life.
We work so hard and strive to become excellent, but there is only more room for choice.
Now it seems that Fangmei has no choice, and her father doesn't let go and support her fully, and she doesn't dare to take the Australian side.
For several days, I didn't seem to have a smile at all and was depressed.
That afternoon, I was having a meeting and my cell phone vibrated. Fangmei called me, but I didn't answer. Just as she was about to reply to her text message, she sent me a message.

Oh Boston Ah, a great place., I said this sentence inertially.
I have always wanted to go there to check it out, and I hope I will pass the interview next week and don’t cause any trouble.Fangmei then knocked on the table three times, afraid that she would be a crow's mouth.
I stood up tactically and poured two glasses of water, my heart was already turbulent.
Ding Ding Ding, Fangmei's phone rang at this time, it was a WeChat video.
Hello, dad, I'm about to tell you..., Fangmei seems to have not shared this good news with her dad.

Fangmei hung up the phone, was stunned for a moment, and then called again.
Uncle, where are you?Do you know about my dad?Oh, I know Ah is on the way to the hospital, OK, you go there first, I will book the earliest flight to return to China, right.OK uncle, the family depends entirely on you. Don’t bother with my dad before, and then talk about it when he gets cured.Yes, OK, OK.Please help me with the medical expenses first, and I will find a way after I go back.Uh-huh.It was obviously Fangmei who asked her uncle to visit her father.
I was surprised that when this big change occurred, Fangmei was surprisingly calm at this time.While talking, he glanced at me.
I'll check the flight, you continue yours., I whispered to her, Fangmei nodded.
The first flight back to Guangzhou was flying directly at around 5 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
I asked Fangmei, can it be?
Fangmei took a look and nodded and said yes, please order.
Because I just used Fangmei’s passport information two days ago, the ticket booking was completed in minutes.
All night, Fangmei was talking on the phone with people in China and also checked the consequences of stroke and treatment knowledge online.Her calmness and self-control made me look at me with admiration and also made me feel a little worried.
The next morning, I didn't go to work, and it was a little late and I didn't see any movement upstairs. I went upstairs and knocked on the door. Fangmei responded inside.
Meimei, I came in Ah.Fangmei sat on the bed with her hair a little scattered, and she probably didn't sleep well all night.
I didn’t sleep much at night, how is your dad doing?, I asked.
My uncle said he was not awake yet, so I checked it. It was very important to have a 24-hour period after the operation. Whether he can recover depends on this period of time., It seems that Fangmei has been learning about relevant information.
Meimei, I think your dad needs you very much now. Otherwise, you might be able to talk to your dad through his uncle’s WeChat, which may help him wake up., I comforted.
It makes sense, I'll hit it now., Fangmei also feels this way.
OK, you can fight first, I'll go downstairs to get you some food.After saying that, I exited the room and went downstairs.
After a while, Fangmei's voice came from the upstairs, like a normal chat, and occasionally laughed.
Alas, I won't come up with a bad idea.
I had just finished the noodles and heard Fangmei washing upstairs. I quickly came downstairs.I served the noodles, afraid that she would not have the appetite, so I was about to persuade her, but she picked up the bowl and started eating.
I talked to my dad, he will definitely wake up, right Jack., Fangmei seemed to be asking me, and she seemed to be talking to herself.
Yes, sure., I said with certainty.
Fang Mei had just finished her noodles with big mouthfuls, and her cell phone rang. It was Dr. Dong who called her.
Hello, your dad is awake.From the perspective of our doctor, we should have passed this level.But he still needs rest, you can talk about it later, just like that, I still have a patient.Thank you Ah, thank you doctor, Fangmei's reply was a little trembling.
Put down the phone and look back at me.
Brother, my dad woke up.Woo woo woo woo woo woo...I almost lost my dad.Fangmei could no longer hold it back and hugged me and burst into tears. From last night to now, she was under too much pressure.
I patted her lightly, allowing her to release her suppressed emotions.
They will all be fine, beautiful., I comforted.
Well, it will be fine.I was really afraid that he would leave like this, and the last thing I said to him was to him.Now it's OK.I also called my aunt and comforted her.Actually, I don’t hate her at all, they can have a baby.It seems that overnight, all the knots and beauty were full of beauty.
Meimei, take good care of yourself.I'll take you to the airport tomorrow, and you'll see if you'll postpone your interview next week., Fangmei said it was right, I thought about it and could be interviewed from the domestic video. I'll go back to see the situation.
Later, Fangmei called her uncle again and told him to take good care of her father and she would be home the day after tomorrow.
All afternoon, Fangmei spent tidying up the house and packing things.
Maybe it was the moment of parting. I think so. If Fangmei passes the interview, she might have flew to Boston directly when she comes to the United States. Even if it doesn't, she will go to Australia. In short, there may be no more here and me in her future life trajectory.
In the evening, I made several dishes, maybe this was the last supper before parting.
Fangmei came downstairs and saw the dishes on the table, so she stopped on the stairs.
Let's have a meal. You've been very tired these two days. Come and eat more., I motioned her to sit down.
My dad is much better and can speak.Fangmei looked relieved, and he asked me to make arrangements before going back, and I said I wanted to take care of him as soon as possible.
Let’s go back, family is the most important thing. Some things you missed will never be compensated., I told her.
Well, I only realized it now. When my dad said he was in a coma, he kept hearing my voice...Fangmei choked as she said, and tears were about to stay.
Blood is thicker than water, he wakes up when he hears you speak., I saw that she didn't pick up food, so she brought the plate of chicken wings to her. Meimei, eat more, you should take care of yourself now, your family needs you.
Fangmei nodded and nodded.
And you handled Dad’s affairs very well this time and was very calm. Your dad will be very pleased and proud.I think you are amazing, too., I encouraged her to say.
This world will not allow anyone to be a child all the time, unless it is with someone who loves him.But they will never stay with them, and no one will stay with them., Fangmei said, looking at me.
I know exactly what she means.
It’s Ah, the road of a person’s life is short and long, and it’s enough for some people to accompany him for a short period of time.
I refilled some wine for both cups and raised it.
I wish you: Everything will be better in the future and a better life than me., I reached out to clink glasses with her, and Fangmei raised her hand to avoid it.
No, I want you to live a better life than me., after saying that, he turned back and touched it, and both of them drank it all in one go.
I'll send you the electronic ticket. I'll check-in before departure later, so that I can save some time., I took a look at the hanging table and it was already past 10 o'clock.
Now that I start sleeping, I can only sleep for 4 hours.
I can sleep on the plane any longer. I am not sleepy now, so please accompany me to the sofa to chat., Fangmei said.
After simply packing the dining table, we both came to the sofa in the living room and sat down.The moonlight outside the window was like snow, which looked like the night we were praying to each other, and I couldn't help but laugh.
Meimei, do you still remember the time we worshipped brother and sister?That was the moon that day.
Haha Of course I remember that we couldn’t say anything about our lines, so we were so laughed to death., Fangmei smiled for the first time in two days.
There seems to be only a very thin isolation line between Fangmei and me, with icebergs on one side and flames on the other side, sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, and we both swayed at the edge of this line, sometimes left and right.
Brother, can I borrow your shoulders and lean on them for a while? I am so sleepy but I can't sleep.Fangmei moved closer, so I took a sofa cushion and placed it on my lap to signal her to lie over.
Fangmei put down the wine bottle and lay down on her side, only half of it could be seen facing outward, white and beautiful.
I really want to lean over and kiss her, but there is no slight desire at this moment.
Fangmei seemed to notice it, and got up and rode on my legs and kissed her. I held her head in both hands, and kissed her fiercely as my hair wrapped around her hair.
Beautiful, goodbye...I can just hold you for a while.I looked at her with a pity, not wanting her to do anything against her will.
But I want to give it to you.Otherwise I can't sleep.Fangmei kissed her back, and she could no longer refuse in the confusion. It didn't take long, and it was intense and beautiful, so it happened naturally.
After several days of anxiety and fatigue, she was too sleepy. She lay on my legs afterwards and soon breathed evenly.I unfolded the blanket at hand and covered her.
The beating of the second hand tower on the watch is closer to the moment of parting every second.
When the alarm clock rang at 2 o'clock, I woke up in a daze and raised my head from the sofa, knowing that it was time.Fangmei turned over, subconsciously hugged me, and did not get up immediately.
It's time to get up., I patted her.
One minute, just one minute., I hugged her with my backhand, very tight, as if I wanted to embed her into my body.
After a long time, Fangmei let me go.
Meimei, go and prepare it. Don’t forget to bring the ID. Please tell me about the others later. You can mail it., I told her.Fangmei nodded and went upstairs.
After a while, Fangmei called me to go up and help carry the box.When I came upstairs, I saw her wearing a jeans, T-shirt, travel hat, and a simple outfit.
On the way to the airport, both of them were a little silent. Looking from the rearview mirror, Fangmei mostly stared out the window in a daze.At this moment, think more about time being able to go slower.
After arriving at the airport, I parked the car, and I quickly walked to the hall with my suitcase and checked my luggage.Until I couldn't send her forward, I took a card from my wallet and stuffed it into Fangmei's hand.
What is this?Fangmei asked, holding the card in her hand.
UnionPay card, this is the amount of money I stayed in China before going abroad. I checked yesterday that it was more than 120,000 yuan. I don’t need it anyway. You can take it first. Your dad must need it in the hospital. I don’t want you to find someone to borrow money everywhere after you go back. Don’t refuse if you listen to me.Seeing that my tone was firm, Fangmei nodded, and tears surged in her eyes.
The password is 120719, yes, the last four are your birthday.Your birthday is coming soon, just treat it as a birthday gift., I only noticed after reading Fangmei's passport.
Who would have thought that when I booked a flight ticket to the United States, Fangmei was celebrating her 17th birthday somewhere, and many years later, we met in the United States again, which was amazing.
Brother, I...Fangmei was about to say something, but I stopped her.
Besides, I missed the flight, go to security check., I opened my arms and signaled for a final hug, and Fangmei rushed over.
Let's turn around together, leave and keep walking, make a bet, whoever turns back will be the puppy., I said in Fangmei's ear, Fangmei's tears flowed and nodded.
Let go, turn around, and leave, Fangmei pretended to be determined.
I didn't turn around, but slowly walked backwards and looked out of the hall, looking at her. Maybe she kept holding on until the security door, and then looked back at me and smiled at me.
Just back in the car, Fang Mei sent a WeChat message.
Puppy, you're looking back.
You are.I'm walking backwards, not looking back, haha., I reply.
Then, I saw her keep typing, I started the car and paid the parking fee, and left the airport.
Just ten minutes after leaving the airport, Fang Mei sent a WeChat message, which seemed to be a very long paragraph.
I slowed down, parked the car on the side of the road and turned off the fire, and read it carefully.
Jack, I can only be grateful for everything you do.I understand your thoughts very well. Maybe I have too many concerns and should be braver, but I asked my heart and looked at the reality, but I still couldn't do it without any scruples.Besides, I am still very uncertain about the future, so I cannot make any promises to anyone. Please forgive me.I may come back to the United States or may not come, but I will remember everything here, everything is beautiful.I am really lucky to meet you. In my heart, I can't position your role, but no matter which role, you have given me a high reference standard. I really don't know if I will have such good luck again in the future.Which one is more regretful to miss or choose wrong? Only time will know the answer.Also, I don’t regret everything that happens between you and me, and it has nothing to do with everything outside of you.I accepted the bank card, and you will be rewarded after you accept it.
I read every word blankly, groping the snow mountain key chain in my hand, and in an instant I seemed to have lost all my strength, only one feeling: empty.
Boom boom boom, at this time a Boeing 737 flew overhead, would it be the flight that Fangmei took?
After the plane, everything around me returned to tranquility. I really don’t know how to have the courage to face those rooms full of memories and beautiful shadows after I got home.
I turned on the audio in the car and Eason Chan's song "We" came. Suddenly, I understood the full meaning of the lyrics:
What should be said, stop talking
You know, that's enough
There is really a kind of sadness
Even tears cannot shed
Only watch,
My biggest regret,
It's your regret that has something to do with me
No period,
Already perfect
Why misunderstand the story?
Didn't finish speaking
…………
over
