Chapter 105 Grave Sweeping
Lin Ying lay in **. She vaguely seemed to remember that Xiaobai said that May 12 was his birthday. At that time, Lin Ying just listened. Looking at the calendar under the countdown board on the wall, she had some impression of this day. She thought to go to see Xiaobai since she had nothing to do. It doesn't matter whether it's a birthday or not.
May 12th happens to be a Sunday. Although students can take three days off during the Dragon Boat Festival, for a student who is about to take the college entrance examination, the Dragon Boat Festival is just to take a lunch break to eat dumplings and eggs.
But this day happens to be Sunday. Although there is no national holiday, there is always a day off on weekends!
Lin Ying only took Qi Feng's car once, but she remembered the name, which was "Xiaoyuan West Tomb". At that time, Lin Ying had something on her mind, so she saw it. Now that she thinks about it, it's a really elegant name. First, I checked the bus route on Baidu, saying that I had to go to the railway station first, and then take a bus to the surrounding counties to pass by, and it was a station.
When we set out, it was still in the morning. The sky was clear and the sun was bright and sufficient. The morning wind blew in my ear, but it was very comfortable. I didn't feel any heat. Lin Ying carried a backpack and found the car at the railway station according to the designated route. It was a big Volvo. She asked the driver where it was, but it was similar to what I checked on the Internet. In less than an hour, Lin Ying found a seat to sit down and waited for the driver to go.
The car is driving on the highway, and the mountains can be seen far away, surrounded by tombstones. Maybe because it is a weekend, there are many people getting off the bus, and there are only a few people left when the car drives away.
Looking up, it was really messy, and it looked the same everywhere. This Xiaoyuan West Tomb has three entrances, and each entrance has a parking lot, which is convenient for people to park. If it weren't for the sunny and many people today, Lin Ying really didn't dare to go up by herself. She felt very depressed when she looked at it. She didn't know after looking at it for a long time. The last time Qi Feng took her through that entrance, Lin Ying could only go up according to the approximate height and then look for it.
I thought it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, but at this time she encountered a turning point. Lin Ying saw Ouyang Chen standing inside, who had already arrived by the tomb first. She didn't expect to meet Ouyang Chen here. Since she met her in the hospital that time, there was no contact. Everything seemed to be broken all of a sudden. Lin Ying had hesitated. Do you want to call him or not, but you feel that there is also the benefit of having no life.
When he got close, he didn't have the courage to continue to walk. He hesitated for a long time, but let Ouyang Chen find her first. There was a trace of surprise on his face, but he flashed in an instant, "Are you also here?"
"Yes, I'm free today, and I heard from Xiaobai that it was today's birthday, so I came to see him." Seeing that she had found it, Lin Ying relaxed. She went to the tomb and put the white roses that had just been bought from the door on the ground. Next to her were the flowers and a large box of ice cream put down by Ouyang Chen. Looking at Bai Xiangyu in the photo smiling, Lin Ying also smiled back at the photo.
"It's his birthday today. When he was a child, when he was in the orphanage, he always wanted to eat ice cream on his birthday. One year, I couldn't help asking him why he didn't eat ice cream without cake, and he told me that because the wish of ice cream was easier to come true." I don't know whether Ouyang Chen was a little hesitant to explain to Lin Ying when he saw Lin Ying looking at the ice cream, or suddenly remembered the past.
Lin Ying never thought that a birthday cake is a luxury for a child. Although her family background is average, it has always been rich. She can't fully understand the bitterness of being an orphan.
"Lin Ying..." Ouyang Chen shouted, and Lin Ying came to her senses from meditation, "What's wrong?"
"I've always wanted to take this sentence as a secret, but today in front of Xiaobai, I think it's better to tell you." Ouyang Chen struggled and stared at the photo and still felt that maybe Bai Xiangyu would want to tell Lin Ying.
"Well...what's the matter?" Ouyang Chen had turned around and wanted to leave. "Xiao Bai drove to the hospital that day to tell you that he... liked you, but he didn't..."
Lin Ying felt that her spine was frozen and stunned. Ouyang Chen's voice was still coming, blowing into Lin Ying's ear like a gust of wind. "If you have anything to say, just say it!" I'll wait for you at the door."
The unbelievable expression, the stiff body, and the bright smile in her eyes were Bai Xiangyu, but Lin Ying's heart was as cold as frost. The previous self-blame all came to her heart. She didn't understand why Ouyang Chen told herself about this today. The photo was still smiling, but what about her! My heart was emptied little by little, and my eyes were astringent and unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Xiao Bai, what should I say?" Lin Ying smiled bitterly, and her legs were numb. She simply sat on the ground, pounding her legs and talking.
When I left, I was already on three poles. Standing in the sun, I would feel anxious. Lin Ying squeezed her already dry lips, stood up and stroked the tombstone, and said goodbye to Xiaobai, "I'll come to see you again when I have time!"
Down the stairs next to her, a white Porsche was parked in the center. Inside was Ouyang Chen, and the license plate number was 8888. Lin Ying was also a little surprised. She never knew that Ouyang Chen had so much money.
Lin Ying opened the car door, and Ouyang Chen was still holding the book Gone with the Wind, but this time it was almost the end, leaving only a few thin pages in her right hand.
"Let's go!" Ouyang Chen wanted to put down the book, but was stopped by Lin Ying. "There are only a few pages left. If you can't finish reading it, you will feel itchy. Let's go after you finish reading it!"
Ouyang Chen just smiled and put the book on the back seat. "I've read it several times, but every time I feel that it's not enough, so I just pick it up and look at it again."
"That's it!" Lin Ying looked around the car. It was as simple as the previous one. There were no extra decorations. She was puzzled for a long time before saying, "Is this your car?"
"No, I rented it!" Ouyang Chen said it simply and clearly, but according to Lin Ying's knowledge, she only knew that she rented a few cars like this when her cousin got married, but it cost 20,000 yuan, and it was only one day. If she drove it every day, it was estimated that even if it was cheap, it would not be much cheaper!
"The last car..." As soon as Lin Ying asked, she choked back. She suddenly remembered that Qi Feng said that the car Xiaobai drove when the accident was Ouyang Chen's.
"The last car has become scrap metal!" Ouyang Chen's tone was calm, and she couldn't hear any emotions. Lin Ying felt that Ouyang Chen was suddenly very cold to herself, and her voice also sounded perfunctory. I don't know if it was because of Bai Xiangyu or something else!
