The past memories with Lu Man swallowed up Mi Qi like a flood.
When the memories came back, Mi Qi had to admit that she and Lu Man had reached a certain age, so they had those heavy and light moments to look back on.
Their girlhood seems like yesterday because it is so clear.
Now that I think about it, she and Lu Man were not familiar with each other at first in junior high school.
Lu Man is the monitor and the beauty of the class. Others still have the same stature and appearance as a brat. Lu Man has become a slim girl. Her mother raised her by herself. When her mother showed up at the parent-teacher meeting, she was I understand why Lu Man can be so provocative.
The head teacher's attitude towards her mother was different from other parents.
Gossip spread all of a sudden, and I heard that Lu Man's mother was a dancer and his father was a university professor who went to sea in his early years. The two divorced because they had different plans for their future lives. In the future, Lu Man wants his daughter to inherit her mother's career and become a dancer.
Divorce may be a tragic thing in other families, but in a family like this, it seems that it can only be used as a conversation piece after dinner.
Similar to other people's thoughts, Mi Qi felt that Lu Man was too aloof and cold, both in terms of personality and background, and could not be approached.
At that time, Mickey's grades were pretty good, and she could rank closer to Lu Man if she worked hard.
But Mi Qi felt that no matter how hard she worked, she was still different from Lu Man.
They are both a single-parent family, and she and Lu Man live in harmony.
Until she was about to graduate from junior high school, when she went home one time, Mickey's bicycle was deflated by a troublemaker and she couldn't ride it. Lu Man pushed the battery car over and asked if he wanted to give her a ride.
Of course Mickey refused.
Lu Man asked bluntly: "Why did you refuse? Aren't we on the same road?"
Mickey was speechless when asked, and got in the car without wanting to say anything more.
She wanted to say that people with the same destiny have different fates. Lu Man lives in a high-end community, while Mi Qi's home is in the old community where she is moving.
On the way, Lu Man talked to her from time to time, but Mi Qi didn't even want to reply.
Lu Man suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you hate me?"
Mi Qi was stunned for a moment, and it was precisely because of Lu Man's turning back that the car accident occurred.
She didn't see an electric car going straight in front of her.
When the car overturned and the two of them fell, Lu Man actually stretched out his hand to protect her.
Later, the two were sent to the hospital with varying degrees of scratches on their foreheads, and the gears of Mickey and Lu Man's friendship began to turn.
Lu Man said that she had discovered that Mickey hated her a long time ago. She didn't know the reason at first, but later she found out that she was also a single-parent family and she roughly guessed the reason.
"Actually, I envy you."
Mickey was confused: "Why do you envy me?"
Lu Man smiled and said nothing, only saying that she would know it soon.
After staying in the hospital for two days, Lu Man's mother only came twice. Once when she learned that she was in the hospital, she asked her why she accidentally injured herself, and then asked the doctor if her legs were okay. After getting a definite answer, she left with confidence; One time, he came to pick her up from the hospital and warned her not to ride an electric bike again.
Mickey's mother, on the other hand, provides three meals a day, cooking different meals in a variety of ways and taking good care of her.
After that, Mi Qi became friends with Lu Man. She knew her weaknesses, and she also knew that she was stronger.
Later, Lu Man went to dance school, but their connection remained intact. With each other's encouragement, they were admitted to the same university, creating many simple and beautiful memories of their time in university.
Mi Qi went to see Lu Man's dance exhibition, and Lu Man went to be Mi Qi's date light bulb.
The two interspersed every detail of life.
It wasn't until Lu Man's foot was injured during a difficult jump that she could no longer perform perfectly. Her life as a dancer, which had been planned for so many years, changed course. Her mother arranged for her to take on the script of a future dancer marrying into a wealthy family. Come to a fitting end.
When Lu Man and Lao Meng got married, the wedding was grand, the most grand in Rongcheng.
Pushing open the door of the bridal lounge, Mi Qi still remembered Lu Man sitting in an oversized wedding dress and holding a bouquet.
The bride had a hopeful and anxious smile on her face, and said to her what she had said when she was young: "Actually, I envy you very much."
Lu Man has followed his mother's arrangements all his life, and his only independent choice is probably his friend Mickey.
Mi Qi knew that Lu Man envied her for being able to choose whatever she wanted.
However, Mi Qi didn't tell Lu Man that her random choice was also mixed with half-hearted decisions.
It seems that time has a gear. After they graduate, they start to start. Many things are not allowed for them to consider carefully. They only pay attention to one speed and stroke.
Even if you say it's wrong, you can't tell what's wrong, and there's no possibility of starting a new path.
Mickey hugged Lu Man and said, "We all want to be happy."
In a blink of an eye, these many years have passed.
Lu Man jumped off the building, and she was also in dire straits.
They all violated their original intention of entering into marriage.
**
"Lu Man's parents all know about Lu Man and are rushing back as soon as possible." Dou Yian helped with the matter and also brought Mi Qi news of her concern.
Mickey raised her eyes.
"Lu Man's father is in Thailand, and Lu Man's mother is in Europe."
Mickey's eyes slowly darkened.
Children whose original families are divided are like duckweeds without a home. Their parents have their own lives and relationships.
And after they were no longer considered children at their own age, their parents felt at ease and stopped showing up. But who can understand that there is also a child living in their hearts, a child who has lacked love and longed for protection since childhood.
"You..." Dou Yi'an held the bright incandescent lamp in the corridor on his head and hesitated to speak.
After thinking again and again, he still said: "...are you still sitting here? What I mean is that Lu Man doesn't want you to be so sad for her."
Mickey's eyes were blank.
Dou Yian sat down next to her, handed her warm coffee, and covered her with his coat.
The hospital is very cold at night.
From time to time, nurses push medical carts back and forth in the corridor. The sound of the wheels scraping the ground is like tearing wounds one after another on the human heart.
Dou Yian stayed with Mi Qi quietly and silently picked up the mobile phone she had thrown away.
Mickey can sense everything around him, but can't react in any way.
She knew that at this age, she should be mentally prepared to bear the news of death, but she never expected that the news would be initiated by her best friend Lu Man!
It wasn't until the people from the funeral home came to take Lu Man away that Lao Meng negotiated and wanted to follow him.
Mickey was like a stone statue with a soul: "What are you doing? Where are you taking Lu Man?!"
"This is an inevitable process, Mickey..." Lao Meng stopped Mickey and explained.
"What process?! Mickey's parents haven't come yet, can't you even wait for a while?!"
"No, this is a hospital. When the father-in-law and mother-in-law come, they can go to the funeral parlor to see Mickey."
"I don't care, you can't take her away!"
…
Mickey tried to stop them regardless, for fear that Mickey would disappear if he moved away!
Lao Meng understood Mickey's mood and was helpless.
Dou Yian hugged Mi Qi: "Miqi, calm down, calm down! Lu Man won't wake up again!"
The few times he came into contact with Mickey, he always spoke softly.
Only this time, he cursed her loudly.
Wanted to scold her awake.
He pulled her shoulder and said with a serious face: "Do you understand? It's useless what you do, she...is gone."
Mickey blinked, her eyes moistened again after crying.
She pursed her lips and couldn't shed tears.
Watching the people who went through the procedure push Lu Man's hospital bed away, but she couldn't keep it, Mi Qi felt that the best part of her first half of life was also gone.
Dou Yian lent her his chest: "Okay, okay, everything will pass."
Mickey grabbed his collar and pressed her head firmly against his strong chest as if to draw strength.
During the saddest time in her life, she never expected that the person beside her was not her husband, but him.
