Chapter 21: Mermaid · Tears

"I was about to talk to her, but I sent it to my door." With that, Anlan wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Han and Ya.

"She can't run away. Let's see what she's doing here first, and then it's not too late in the past."

I don't know how long I have been waiting here, but the person who asked me in Youxi hasn't appeared for a long time.

I shook left and right around the fountain uneasily and suddenly found that in such cold weather, the fountain was still gushing as usual without any sign of freezing.

I was bored for a moment, so I curiously put my hand into the water. Unexpectedly, it had a temperature. Although the temperature was not high, it was not cold at all.

I moved the water and felt the flowing warmth of Chunchun. Looking at the statue standing in the fountain, I always felt that she must have a beautiful story of her own.

"luolin." A familiar call suddenly appeared in my ears.

I turned around and saw Situlei running towards me breathlessly. Although I didn't know where he came from, a few drops of sweat on his face made me understand how anxious he was.

"Just now, has anyone been here?" Because he ran too fast, he spoke with a little gasp.

"No."

Hearing me say this, he seemed to be relieved. No matter whether the ground was dirty or not, he sat down against the fountain no matter how cold it was.

"How have you been recently?" He looked up at me and stopped talking.

I didn't say anything, just smiled at him.

His breathing gradually calmed down. Instead of continuing to look at me, he looked up at the sky. Most of the time, he was so speechless that he looked up at the sky, as if the blue could give him the answer he wanted.

"I didn't go anywhere with An. I don't want you to misunderstand me like I misunderstood you." Suddenly, he seemed to talk to himself.

"I didn't misunderstand you. After all, it's your business. I have no reason to ask."

"You are everything to me." He said this without warning and quietly took my hand.

His hand is still faintly warm, like a small flame that is about to be extinguished. As long as I don't break free and guard with him, it will never go out.

But it seems that everything came too suddenly. I thought he would explain and think about various reasons, but I never thought that he would do so.

Maybe I understand, maybe I pretend to be stupid, and I suppress my complicated mood. At this time, I just want to get out of here quickly. I don't want to see him or get so close to me.

I'm afraid that I will experience the pain of loss again.

However, we sat quietly like this, and no one spoke. The wind blew, and the fountain was still gushing. Every drop of water fell and every gust of wind mixed with chill came out so clearly.

How long has it been since I was with him like this? How long has it been since I haven't heard his gentle voice?

"Slut, it's true that she has been seducing Lei," An Yan and Han Heya stood in the lynx and stared at us angrily.

"Today, we bumped into each other. We may not be there or do something when we don't see it." Han Heya said with oil on the fire.

"Even if Lei will hate me, I will destroy her." AnRAN clenched her fist, and her long nails were embedded in the meat and gradually oozed blood...

"Do you know the name of this sculpture?" After a long silence, he spoke.

I looked at the fountain sculpture and shook my head. I have always thought it was a decoration or a landmark building.

Situ Lei stared at the sculpture and told me a story about it.

It is called mermaid tears. The woman carved in it buried her life in order to give birth to the mermaid child. Her husband abandoned the newborn mermaid child because of grief.

And after her death, her soul was still worried about the newborn child, so she wandered around looking for it, and her tears were like broken pearls converging into the river.

She finally found the child somewhere, but the child had already turned into a stone over time and could no longer call her mother in a tender voice.

But even so, she no longer wants to let go. In the end, the loss and guilt for the child turned into tears and turned into this fountain.

And she turned herself into a sculpture and permanently guarded the baby fish.

"You touch it, the water here is warm no matter how the four seasons change, because it is full of tears of mother's debts and pity." Situ Lei said leisurely, and his hands also went in and fluctuated in the water.

"Why does this sculpture appear in Ming Han?"

He stood up and patted his clothes and put his hand on my head as gently as before: "Because the woman in the story is my mother."

Is she your mother? So you are actually a fish?

I didn't understand what he was trying to tell me, but it suddenly flashed in my mind and blurted out this unreliable word.

But he ignored my problem and just warned me not to come out alone in the future. Even if I had something to do, I should ask Ziyang to accompany me. After saying that, he walked to the school gate.

"Hey, where are you going..." I shouted at his receding back.

He raised the back of his hand and waved it to me, and then his figure gradually faded out of my sight.

I waited here stupidly for another hour. It was not until some students finished class that I was sure that what Situ Lei said was played by someone.

As soon as I was about to go back to the flower dance, I saw Yuan Meng coming from the star garden. "Yuan Meng..." I shouted at her, but she didn't seem to see me and stopped with a confused expression.

Seeing her looking at it stupidly, I had to take the initiative to go there, but I deliberately walked around behind her and gently bumped her. Yuan Meng was shocked and quickly turned around and put on a posture to fight.

Yuan Meng turned around and found that it was me. For a while, she complained that my voice was as small as a mosquito, and for a while, she said that it was a prepared defense.

"Master Yuan, is it necessary for you to be ready for battle at any time?" I couldn't help laughing when I saw her carrying her bag and making a silly posture to box people.

"You don't know. I always feel that someone is following me." Yuan Meng said that she would carry the bag on her shoulder, because there was a racket in the bag that could be taken out as a weapon to defend herself at any time, and the racket was more convenient for her to use.

Tracking? Who is so bored to follow you, except Liu Ziyang.

"He came directly to the class to find me, and there was no need to track him. By the way, did you come to me on your own? Do you miss me very much..." Yuan Meng looked at me like a bad uncle.

"Beautiful, I came to the appointment, but I was stood up. I saw you as soon as I was about to leave."

"Is Situ Lei looking for you?" Yuan Meng directly hit the key point.

"What, is Situ Lei the only one in your mind?" I looked at her helplessly.

"Then tell me who else you know in Haiyuan besides Situ Lei and me. Isn't it right for me to guess so?" Yuan Meng looked unconvinced.

But she is also right. I haven't made any other friends in Haiyuan except them. Maybe I'm a slow person, or maybe I don't dare to accept too new things, including people.

"Is that really Situ Lei? What is he looking for you?" Yuan Meng was as excited as if he had dug a treasure.

"I met Situ Lei, but he seemed to be looking for someone. We just met him by chance. I didn't see the specific person I was. At first, Situ Lei said that I was fooled and I didn't believe it. I've been waiting until now."

"There are too many accidents between you two. Let's talk about what else I don't know, occasionally..." She deliberately made those two words very prominent.

"Wh, you are very curious, do you know? It will kill the cat."

"If you die, you will die. Anyway, I don't raise any small animals." Yuan Meng said carelessly.

"Bear by the way, do you know the story of the Minghan Fountain sculpture?" I have always been worried about what Situ Lei said and want to figure out what's going on.

"You mean mermaid tears?"

"Yes, is that story true? Is the person in the sculpture really Situ Lei's mother? I said this brainless word again and regretted it after saying it.

After Yuan Meng touched my forehead to make sure that I didn't have a fever, she looked at me with the strange eyes that my mother looked at her, looking puzzled. It was not until I told her the story that Situ Lei told me that she burst out laughing.

Then he turned around and laughed at me for even believing this nonsense.

"Well, who asked you out? Has anything happened?" As soon as he arrived at the school gate, Liu Ziyang circled around my wheelchair and looked at me repeatedly as if he could hit the hidden weapon.

I didn't ask him what Situ Lei meant today, and I always vaguely felt that I needed to figure it out myself.

Just as Liu Ziyang was quarreling with Yuan Meng, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't picked up some precautions and the introduction manual about going to Hangzhou that the director asked me to go to the office.

I wanted to take it home and show it to my mother first, and then I decided not to let me go there by myself.

Liu Ziyang volunteered to get it for me, but when he thought of knocking a lesson in the afternoon, he was immediately afraid to publicize it.

As soon as I entered the teaching building, I saw Anan coming out of one of the classes. I nodded to her and continued to the Academic Affairs Office.

But I don't know if she is on her way with me or something. Since she saw me, she has been following me quietly and has been squeezing me to the wall.

Obviously, the corridor is spacious enough for several people to walk side by side, but she reluctantly rubbed the wall ash on my arm and refused to give up.

Angan squeezed more and more fiercely, almost evolved into a collision, and the wheelchair had already made the sound of metal friction against the wall. Just as I was about to arrive at the door of the Academic Affairs Office, I thought that I had finally arrived. She suddenly hit my head with her elbow, because her head hit the wall again before she could reflect. A sense of paste surged up in my brain, and I only felt a little dizzy.

"It's shameless."

Anan blurted out this sentence as if talking to herself before leaving me.

It's not the first time I've seen her unreasonableness, and I don't take it too seriously.

After arriving at the Academic Affairs Office, I found that there was no one in it. At this time, the mobile phone rang. Yuan Meng asked me when I could come out, saying that the car my father hired was already waiting at the door.

I looked around and saw that there was really no one inside, so I asked Yuan Meng to ask the driver to go back first. Today, I will go home by myself. The bathroom continues to wait in the Academic Affairs Office.

I feel that time is passing minute by minute, and I spent more than half an hour boredly playing mobile games.

At this time, the door finally opened, and I turned around hopefully, but what I saw was the chemistry teacher's 'old face' that would fall off with almost a gentle touch.

"You are here to get the information, right? The things are on the desk of the head of your department. Take them yourself." The chemistry teacher said in a demonic voice.

I went to Mr. Xiao's desk and saw a stack of materials placed neatly there.

"Has Mr. Xiao got off work?" I asked carefully.

Because I am a liberal arts student, it is difficult to see chemistry teachers.

When I suddenly saw her today, her image in my eyes was no different from the sea wizard in the fairy tale. With heavy makeup on her face, sometimes looking at her will create an inexplicable impulse. If I pat the back of her head, will the foundation on my face fall off like a falling wall?

"Well, she has something to do today. Go home as soon as you get the information. Non-resident students should not stay here after class. At that time, they can't leave even if they close the door and want to leave. She still said in that demonic tone.

Because I sent the driver away, I had to go home by myself today. After all, you can't often bother Yuan Meng and Liu Ziyang to see me off. If you don't say anything, it's far away.

The journey between home and school is not long or far away. For me, all the strange roads are long and need to be explored step by step.

There are too many unknown dangers in the world, such as roads. It is a place that makes me panic. Even if there is a zebra crossing to walk, I only feel anxious and helpless when I am really in the middle of the road and the sound of car whistles everywhere.

Others are helping the elderly cross the road, but others can only push me. Most of the taxis like me are refused to take, and the Beijing bus is already blocked, so it is even more difficult for me to squeeze in. In short, countless burdens flew over when I went out, which made me breathless...

I crossed the road quickly as I thought, shuttling through the crowd.

I stopped when I passed by a wedding dress shop. In the bright glass window is a set of pure white wedding dresses, luxurious, close-fitting and simple...

But whatever it is, it's just a beautiful dream.

The eternal white veil, the love of holding hands for a lifetime. As long as you haven't loved it, it won't turn into a bubble.

I looked at myself through the window mirror; life is just like this. When you are angry, you are more angry, and when you are unlucky, you will find that life is like a mirror over time. If you don't want to be more angry, you can only smile at it first.
