Hong Limin understood Guan Lin's vigilant mood. When meeting in the city, there was a risk of being seen by her husband or her husband's friends. He was not afraid of being seen, but of being misunderstood.
"So, where shall we meet?" Hong Limin asked again. Guan Lin seemed to be thinking about it and did not answer immediately.
"How about the Forest Park?" After a while, Guan Lin's voice came again. This sentence reminded Hong Limin of rowing with Guan Lin in the Deep Forest Park before getting married.
At that time, Guan Lin was still a student at the American University. Guan Lin rocked the boat, while Hong Limin screamed and held on to the boat tightly. This is a sweet memory, maybe Guan Lin also remembered this past event.
"Okay." Hong Limin said. "Where's the time?"
"We will meet in front of Shenlin Park at ten o'clock. Is it convenient for you?"
"I will go, brother Guan Lin, what about you?"
"I will definitely go."
"Then, let's meet at ten o'clock tomorrow."
After the call was cut off, Hong Limin still held the phone. At this time, she forgot that she was a married woman, but Hong Limin, who was unmarried three years ago.
As usual, Hong Limin arrived at Shenlin Park thirty minutes earlier than the agreed time the next day. It seemed that this habit would never change. Needless to say, Guan Lin could not be seen at this time.
Hong Limin sat down on a bench in front of the park to wait for Guan Lin. The warm winter sun shone in from the tops of the big trees, drawing bright and dark stripes around the bench.
Although the temperature is very low, there is no wind, so it doesn't feel very cold.
There is a bus arriving at the station every seven or eight minutes. It may not be the tourist season, so almost no passengers get off at the park. Occasionally, only young couples get off here and walk towards the pool in the park. They watch the lovers talking quietly and shoulder to shoulder. The happy scene of walking side by side reminded Hong Limin of the happy time three years ago. Can he still go back to that happy time? Another bus came, and two men and women got off. They were not lovers, the woman was an old woman wearing cotton clothes. As soon as they got off the bus, they crossed the road and disappeared.
The man was about thirty years old. After getting off the car, he looked around. That man was probably Guan Lin, right? As Hong Limin thought this, she opened her eyes wide and was shocked. It turned out that the man was her husband. Hong Limin quickly covered her face with her handbag. Maybe he saw it? Hong Limin couldn't help but feel difficulty breathing when he thought about it.
The husband didn't seem to notice Hong Limin sitting on the bench. He stood and took out a small piece of paper to look at, which seemed to be a map.
The husband looked up from the piece of paper, thought for a moment, and walked towards Kichijoji.
Where is the husband going? And why do you want to go to that place?
Hong Limin couldn't think of an answer even after thinking about it. It didn't seem like he was going to meet Sang Yuan, because Sang Yuan's apartment was in Dongcheng District, which was exactly the opposite direction from her husband's.
Hong Limin was thinking about it, and suddenly she had the idea of following her husband. Her husband had also followed her before, so there was nothing wrong with her imitating him, not to mention that there were still twenty minutes left before the appointment with Guan Lin.
After Hong Limin made this decision, he immediately stood up from the bench and followed her husband.
The husband walked slowly, seemingly unaware that anyone was following him. After walking for about five minutes, her husband suddenly stopped, and Hong Limin quickly walked behind the telephone pole.
The husband took out the piece of paper again and looked at it. The place he was standing on was a shopping street, with photo studios, fruit shops and other shops with signboards lined up side by side.
After reading the piece of paper, the husband looked around with uneasy eyes, and then entered one of the stores in a panic.
The store my husband went into had a sign saying "Healthy Pharmacy."
The husband stayed in the pharmacy for a few minutes before he came out. He looked around with a wary look in front of the pharmacy before leaving. Although he didn't hold anything in his hands, looking at his hands on his coat pockets, he probably put things he bought in the store in his pockets.
What did the husband buy at that pharmacy? Why was he looking around in such panic? Was he afraid of being seen entering the pharmacy? And why was he afraid of being seen entering the pharmacy? Just as these questions were arising in Hong Limin's heart, her husband had already stopped a passing empty taxi.
After her husband took the taxi and left, Hong Limin walked out from behind the telephone pole and looked at the health pharmacy that her husband had just entered. It was a small store with a small storefront. The store was not only dark but also lifeless.
Why does the husband come to this pharmacy? Hong Limin thought of this question again. Did he come to buy cold medicine?
However, if you are buying cold medicine, you can buy it near your home. There is no need to come all the way here to buy it. Could it be that he... Hong Limin couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he thought about it.
"He really..."
The more Hong Limin thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She wanted to suppress this terrible thought, but once she felt scared, it was difficult to restrain herself. Although she forced herself to suppress this terrible thought, her uneasiness and doubts still gradually spread. Come on.
Hong Limin stared at the "Health Pharmacy" sign with a pale face, and soon made up his mind to enter that pharmacy.
The layout of the store was just as she expected. There was nothing strange about it. It was just darker than ordinary stores. As soon as Hong Limin spoke, a middle-aged man wearing white clothes came out. Because of his beard, he looked more like a construction worker than a drugstore owner. A closer look showed that the sleeves of the white clothes were a little dirty.
"Want to buy cold medicine?" the pharmacy owner asked in a soft voice.
“If you’re looking for cold medicine, you’ve come to the right place.”
"No, I'm not here to buy cold medicine." Hong Limin said in a firm voice. "I want to buy the medicine that the man just bought."
"That man just now?" the pharmacy owner said with a frown and shrugged his shoulders as if he was confused.
"What the hell is going on?"
"A man should have come to buy medicine just now, and I also want to buy the medicine that man bought."
"Can you please stop saying things that people can't understand?"
"You can pretend not to understand, but I need to buy the same medicine. You can sell it to that person, but can't you sell it to me? Is that medicine that you can't sell to me?"
Uneasiness and doubt gripped Hong Limin deeply, causing her to question him like this, but the other party just smiled bitterly.
"I do not know what you're talking about?"
"I mean the man who just came to your store to buy medicine and..."
"Please wait a moment."
The pharmacy owner waved his fat hand to interrupt Hong Limin's conversation.
"You said someone came to our store to buy medicine just now, but today you are our first customer!"
