It was not completely dark when Meng Yao arrived in Yunnan. She took a long sleep on the high-speed train. Although she did not sleep deeply and relaxedly, she was still very comfortable.
She clicked on the movies recommended by Xu Yao on the high-speed train. She hadn't finished one of them yet. Xu Yao sent a message. She went out to chat with Xu Yao. She gradually became sleepy. She told Xu Yao that Xu Yao made her sleepy. Take a break and watch the movie another day or watch it together next time.
The word "together" is really beautiful. Meng Yao imagined it for a while, put down her mobile phone and turned her head to sleep, with music playing in her headphones, from Stefanie Sun to Mayday, and then she woke up when she arrived at the station.
Xu Yao looked at the time and dialed the phone. The high-speed rail station was very small and there was not much traffic. Meng Yao was wearing headphones and standing on the escalator talking to Xu Yao.
Xu Yao originally planned to help Meng Yao contact Uncle Liu to pick her up at the high-speed rail station in advance, but Meng Yao thought it was too much trouble and refused. The phone never hung up. Xu Yao could hear some noises mixed with dialects, and Meng Yao walked down the escalator, carrying her suitcase The sound of a pulley rolling.
After sitting in the car for a long time, Meng Yao was actually a little hungry. In order not to waste time, she packed a hamburger and a cone at the McDonald's store at the high-speed rail station. While waiting to pick up the food, she looked at it casually. Heading towards the window, there was no one there. She suddenly recalled something, smiled, and said to Xu Yao, "I was waiting for you to pick me up in this McDonald's last time."
The waiter handed her the cone, and Meng Yao added, "But I didn't expect to see you at that time."
Xu Yao remembered the day he and Meng Yao met again in the parking lot, and smiled and said, "I was surprised when I learned about you from Aunt Yu. I thought they had the same name at first, but the moment I met you, I have a feeling that your appearance is a matter of course."
"Why?" Meng Yao paused, curious.
"I don't know." Xu Yao said, "It's amazing. I've always felt that you have a kind of strength. I don't know how to describe it. My Chinese is not very good. I thought it was tough before, but after thinking about it, maybe 'flexible' is more appropriate."
Meng Yao couldn't help laughing because of his sentence "Chinese is not very good". She retorted in her heart: Don't be joking. You are a teacher who is proud of you. Even when I was called to the office, we Your head teacher praises you for your ability in arts and sciences.
And when Meng Yao listened to the second half of what he said, he felt a little unable to speak.
The feeling went from weak to strong, and then became very turbulent.
This strong feeling spread from his heart to his whole body, and Meng Yao even felt his eyes getting hot.
So that’s what you think.
Meng Yao thought, when I had low self-esteem, never dared to look up at you, shed tears in embarrassment in front of you, was denied by my mother many times, and even occasionally thought that I was not good enough, it turned out that you saw me at a glance Deep in my soul, I feel that I am tough.
Meng Yao just discovered today that when she is recognized by people she likes and follows, the first feeling she feels is not joy, but feeling overwhelmed and wanting to cry. This feeling is a bit similar to Xu Yao handing her an umbrella on a rainy night, but it is much better than that. It was much more powerful, like Xu Yao gave her a very warm and solid hug.
Meng Yao suddenly felt very sorry. She regretted her hesitation at the Beijing high-speed rail station. She clearly looked back that day and had the urge to run back and say something to Xu Yao, but she restrained that urge.
Meng Yao thought, why didn't she let herself go at that time.
Maybe she'd run back and get a hug that day.
The burgers were packed. Meng Yao said thank you to the waiter and walked out with the bag. She asked in a low voice: "But how could you recognize me in the parking lot that day?"
They haven't seen each other for several years.
And basically everyone around him said that Meng Yao had changed a lot.
This is a question that Meng Yao has wanted to ask for a long time.
How would a boy respond if he wanted to please his girlfriend?
"Of course I can recognize it" or "the guidance of fate"?
Xu Yao said: "It's easy to recognize you. I remember you."
With these few simple words, Meng Yao laughed.
The ice cream melted a little, and she took a bite. It was quite sweet.
There were buses soliciting passengers outside the high-speed rail station, and the location of Sunshine Elementary School was a bit remote, but fortunately it was not too late and the distance was long and the fare was high, so there was still a driver who took Meng Yao's order.
Before putting away the luggage and getting in the car, Xu Yao asked Meng Yao on the earphone to take a photo of the car's license plate number and send it to him. Meng Yao did as he was told. After getting in the car, they still didn't hang up the phone. The driver took a curious look in the inside mirror. , seeing that she was wearing headphones, she remained silent.
Later, Meng Yao's cell phone gave a warning that the battery level was less than 20%, and they hung up the phone.
It was already dark outside the window, but it could be vaguely seen that it should be a sunny day tomorrow.
When Meng Yao arrived at Sunshine Elementary School, the remaining battery of his mobile phone was only enough to turn on a flashlight. The driver could not drive up and stopped at the bottom of the slope. Meng Yao paid the money and sent a message to Xu Yao to tell him that he had arrived, and then grabbed his luggage. box, climbing up the slope relying on the weak white light from the mobile phone flashlight.
It was still early and everyone was still asleep. There was dark yellow light leaking from the cracks in the windows and doors in the occupied rooms of the dormitory.
Meng Yao pushed his suitcase and walked by. The sound of roller skating was very clear in the quiet night. Feng Xiao opened the door and saw her calling her name.
"I was just sitting outside with the principal, chatting and waiting for you." Feng Xiao let his hair loose and smiled nicely, "How is it? Is Beijing fun?"
Meng Yao stopped, looked at her, smiled, and replied in the affirmative: "It's fun."
Feng Xiao said: "Really? But I think the scenery is better in Dali."
Meng Yao smiled and said, "I saw your circle of friends."
Feng Xiao spent a few days in Dali and made at least three friends every day, but the scenery was indeed beautiful.
Meng Yao would also like to go if there is a chance.
Speaking of the circle of friends, Feng Xiao playfully stuck out his tongue: "The scenery is so beautiful, I took a lot of photos, and I couldn't bear to delete any of them, so I couldn't help but post them all."
While they were talking, Yu Yuan heard a sound in the room and walked out. Everyone had already had dinner. Yu Yuan left some food for Meng Yao and said she would heat it up for her.
Meng Yao ate a burger and sat in the car for a while. The ride was bumpy and she didn't have much appetite. She spoke to Yu Yuan. Yu Yuan expressed understanding and urged her to go upstairs and go back to the dormitory to rest.
Meng Yao returned to the room with her suitcase. The first thing she did was charge her mobile phone. She planned to simply pack her luggage before going to wash up, but Xu Yao's call came in first.
Meng Yao put down what she was doing and answered the phone. Xu Yao asked her on the phone if she had arrived at the dormitory.
Meng Yao unconsciously softened his voice and said he had just arrived.
"are you hungry?"
"Fortunately, I had a burger."
"The burger works so well." Xu Yao smiled, remembering that he picked her up at the high-speed rail station before, and asked, "Are you motion sick?"
Meng Yao said: "No, I just don't have any appetite now."
Meng Yao did not suffer from motion sickness this time. She had been on the phone with Xu Yao for the first half of the drive. She was so focused on the conversation with Xu Yao that she didn't even notice the motion sickness. Moreover, she also lowered the windows.
Xu Yao felt relieved when she heard that her tone was not as weak as carsickness. Thinking that she was very tired after riding in the car all day, he said, "Then you should go to bed early."
This sentence usually appeared as a conclusion. Meng Yao didn't really want to hang up the phone. The call lasted only a few minutes. She didn't think about it carefully and subconsciously asked in a low voice: "Are you going to take a rest?"
As she spoke, she realized that her unwillingness to hang up the phone was too obvious in her tone.
Xu Yao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly said: "No, I'm worried that you are tired."
"I'm okay." Meng Yao said without thinking, "I slept on the high-speed train for a long time today."
Xu Yao couldn't help but laugh.
Meng Yao felt a little embarrassed at his laughter, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was being too direct.
Fortunately, Xu Yao answered the question naturally: "Then you want to chat with me?"
Meng Yao said: "Okay." She ignored the unpacked luggage and the fact that it was late and she hadn't washed up yet. She dialed the data cable with her fingers and laughed slowly and silently listening to Xu Yao's voice. .
Meng Yao considers herself not a person who is good at chatting. She had no friends to chat with except Song Siqi a long time ago. After going to college, her friendships seem to have improved a lot, but except for a few girls in the same dormitory, she still treats others indifferently. , even if I work part-time outside, I will only communicate a few words with my colleagues when handing over work, and have no other contact in private, let alone chat during working hours. When several girls in the same dormitory get together, there is never a shortage of topics to talk about. Meng Yao often only needs to answer or echo, and she does not need to put any thought into chatting.
In terms of interpersonal communication, Meng Yao actually didn't worry too much. Although she seemed to lack the ability to be comfortable in chatting and seemed to lack enthusiasm, she was such a person and she had been with this kind of person for twenty years. A few years ago, and I accepted myself this way early.
With others, she just wants to communicate effectively and simplify everything. She is indeed more patient with her few friends, Meng Yao, but in the process of being accepted by her friends, she also found a way to get along with each other comfortably. This way, she can relax in front of her friends without having to worry too much.
But Xu Yao is different.
He is neither another person nor a friend.
His identity is different and unique.
The word "only" is too special. It seems that we should be more cautious when treating the only person as a matter of course.
So after Xu Yao asked to chat with him and Meng Yao agreed without hesitation, although her first reaction was to laugh because of the sweetness of love, she soon became a little worried about what to talk about.
Their relationship had only been established not long ago, but they were far apart in terms of distance.
Different jobs, not understanding many aspects of each other's lives...
Xu Yao obviously did not have such worries as hers. He raised the topic naturally and easily. While Meng Yao walked in the direction he pointed, a strange feeling arose in his attitude - as if Meng Yao The worries are unfounded. Their current relationship does not require any effort to find a topic. They can talk about anything, from what they ate to what they saw, what they saw, what they did today, to the pursuit of their ideals, whether they are happy or unhappy. Share and talk because it is a unique and intimate relationship.
By the end of this phone call, Meng Yao no longer thought about what kind of topics would make the call longer.
The reason why the call was finally hung up was because it was too late, almost late at night, and tomorrow was a working day, and both Meng Yao and Xu Yao had to go to work. They said goodnight to each other before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Yao held the hot phone and looked at the total call duration displayed on the screen. She suddenly understood that whether it was distance or the current lack of understanding of each other's living conditions, she didn't need to be afraid of these things at all. , she and Xu Yao were together, and it would take some time to integrate into each other's lives, it was just a matter of time.
