"I think we could be good friends."
Faced with Hillis's enthusiasm, Ye Mingqian also extended a friendly invitation.
Foreigners age quickly, and sometimes it's hard to guess their age, but by looking at Siris's appearance and conversation, she concluded that she is probably in her thirties. She has a traditional appearance with deep eyes and a high nose. Although she speaks in a loud voice, it is not offensive. There is no need to scheming and guessing people, and they are comfortable to get along with.
After exchanging addresses, the two found out that they were from the same community.
"I just came back from traveling, otherwise I would have known that there is an Eastern face in our community." Silis put away the note with the address in surprise.
"In your words, is this called fate?" The closeness to Ye Mingqian in her eyes became even stronger.
"yes."
Ye Ming responded with a slight smile.
"We will definitely become good friends."
Hillis noticed this young girl at the concert, but she didn't confirm her nationality, so she couldn't come up to say hello. Now she's fine, and she finally has a good friend from an ancient eastern country.
Although there is a hint of sadness between this friend's eyebrows, it is this sadness that is the same as her ex-husband. Do people in their country have this trait?
Does it appear with its own story?
"Ye, why are you here?"
Silis was curious.
Most Chinese people go to tourist attractions, and little-known places like this are rarely visited.
Ye Mingqian covered the position of her heart on her chest and forced a smile: "I'm here to recuperate."
Nurture the hurt in your heart.
However, Xili, who has only had little contact with it, obviously did not understand the pun in the Chinese language, and simply thought that she was here to nourish her body.
"Because of my ex-husband, I have always wanted to visit your country. I learned from the Internet that your country is a beautiful country. You can see snow in summer and the wind of spring in winter?"
"Well, the country is vast and the climate is very different. You can see what you mentioned just by moving around the city."
After Hillis mentioned this, Ye Mingqian realized that she had never seriously visited the great rivers and mountains of her motherland in China.
But where is the thought? The truth about so many lives in the Zhou family is weighing on my back, and I can't breathe every day like a walking zombie. Only the appearance of Chi Yanchen gave her life such a glimmer of light.
But the light went out.
Thinking of Chi Yanchen, Ye Mingqian's expression dimmed.
Seeing Ye Mingqian like this, Xilis didn't know what she said wrongly. Sitting opposite him, she was so scared that she didn't dare to speak again.
"Sorry, I just lost my temper a little bit."
When she came back to her senses and saw the other person's expression, Ye Mingqian smiled apologetically.
"You people from country Z always have your own melancholy." Hillis shook her head in understanding, "My ex-husband is like this too. Sometimes he loses focus while talking."
She asked again: "Ye, are you here to settle down for a long time?"
"I will stay here until my visa expires." Ye Mingqian replied after thinking for a while.
"Then I hope that while you are recovering from your injuries, you can also integrate into and fall in love with us." Hillis said seriously, "This way you can truly enjoy the fun that life brings to you."
"I know, thank you." Ye Mingqian accepted Xilis's suggestion.
"Actually, this is what my ex-husband told me." Silis blushed with embarrassment, "Although he and I were only married for one year, he taught me a lot. I am an orphan, and my life was in a mess before. , but since I met him, from having nothing at the beginning to facing life alone after he left, it all benefited from his influence on me during that year."
"You people in country Z always habitually consider others before yourself, so I was also taken into consideration by my ex-husband. When he learned that he didn't have long to live, he had been deliberately training my ability to survive alone. He told me... …”
Having said this, Hillis's eyes were slightly red, "Life is not equal to anything that can be measured by value. It belongs to each person alone. His life has stopped, but my life is still running. I can be sad but not Stay, because you will always meet all kinds of people in life, and everyone is a passer-by to each other until you find the protagonist who is willing to stay for you."
Hillis's ex-husband is not the hero in her life, but she is still the heroine in her own life. The pace of time will not stop just because she loves him in her heart. She will meet different people in different time periods. , anyone could become the next leading actor.
This seems to be a very profound philosophy, but also seems to be a nonsense.
Or perhaps Hillis, as a foreigner, could not fully understand her ex-husband's original words, but no matter what, Ye Mingqian could hear the persuasion in this sentence.
"Am I being so obvious?"
She put her hand on her face and smiled awkwardly as she let a person she had just met speak enlightening words.
"Just don't dislike me for being abrupt." Silis liked this new friend very much.
"No, I still want to thank you."
Let her understand that a woman who is devoted to her feelings is the stupidest. She should let go of everything in the past and welcome a new life calmly.
This is why Ye Mingqian insisted on going abroad and finding a new place to start.
As more and more people came downstairs, there was no room left, so Ye Mingqian had no choice but to take a few bites of food and say goodbye to Hillis.
When she returned home and found herself in an empty house, Ye Mingqian felt lonely for the first time since leaving the country, and then she realized that she was in a foreign country.
She finished washing and lay down in bed, but the quilt failed to bring Ye Mingqian to her.
"Ye Mingqian, what is your life about?"
She turned off the light and murmured to herself in the darkness, with Siris's words about "life" echoing in her mind. Her ex-husband must have been a wonderful person during his lifetime.
I met Hillis again in a cafe. It was the only old cafe in the community, so it was easy for acquaintances to meet here.
Ye Mingqian was drinking coffee and reading a parenting book in her hand. The next second, Hillis sat opposite her with a laptop.
"Don't you guys work overtime on weekends?"
Ye Mingqian was surprised that she was different from other foreigners.
"That's a bad person." Silis' accent was still so funny, but she insisted on using Chinese, and Ye Mingqian politely cooperated with her.
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Isn't this your old saying?" Silis opened her notebook and came up with a proverb. Her expression was so serious that Ye Mingqian ignored the other party's lame tone.
"Are you an engineer? Or a financier?" she asked the other person.
