Section 7

My situation is somewhat unique. When I was in elementary school, my parents divorced and each started a new family. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to live with my father, and my stepmother raised me as her own daughter, giving up the opportunity to have her own children with my father. Later, my mother had another son named Lin You, but she loves me, her half-sister, very much.

For three years, I have not mentioned that person's name to anyone. I just want to call his name when I see him again, as if he had never left.

He Luo Fan went to the front desk to ask the staff to make an announcement for lost items, and in the meantime, I carefully searched the places I had passed, even looking under the chairs in the café. However, a wallet is something that, once lost, cannot be retrieved; I understand this all too well. Therefore, I sat in the café with my head down, crying intermittently with a mix of anger and sorrow.

Many things have changed in these three years, but the only thing that has not changed with the books is that I still love him, a love that cannot be fulfilled

I believe my luck has truly run out

He Fangfan took out a handkerchief and wiped my face, his tone increasingly resembling that of someone soothing a child. He was merely afraid that I would cry again and embarrass him, so I followed him to the police station. The temporary ID was processed quickly, and we did not miss our flight. I saw the houses on the ground instantly shrink to the size of models, then we entered the clouds, passing through the white mist, unable to see anything clearly

It is not just a wallet. As I looked at He Luofan, when he mentioned giving me money, I no longer liked him at all. I did not want to see him again, not at all. If we were to discuss being heartless, I am no less than He Luofan. It is just that I hide it in my heart, while he displays it on his face. Our relationship as drinking buddies has officially declared its rupture

I grabbed a nurse who was taking notes with a diagram and asked, "What about the elderly lady with the myocardial infarction, whose surname is Xie?"

I stood for the entire night as the train passed through Wuhan and crossed the Yangtze River Bridge. Each lamp cast its light on the water, transforming into two lights, one real and one illusory, creating a perfect shadow. After leaving Wuhan, it began to rain, and the rain grew heavier. By the time I reached Changsha Station, it was pouring rain. I was in quite a predicament, yet I did not feel tired; I took a taxi to the hospital and rushed straight to the intensive care unit

I have finished crying, yet I am still sobbing, and my face must look very swollen and unattractive

When He Luofan sent me to the school gate, I was thinking of saying something to him, but he began to take out his wallet. The bills were pink, like a young girl's lips. I opened the car door and waved my hand at him: "Teacher He, actually I only lost ten yuan, along with all my luck from now on"

In the end, she could not wait for my summer vacation. I opened my mouth and said, "Auntie, I want to go home."

The nurse glanced at the records and said: "He passed away yesterday; it seems that the family has all arrived today, over at the morgue"

My mother did not respond at all, and when I called her, the phone was turned off

He was taken aback, not understanding the situation. I opened the car door and walked towards the school, not looking back even once

I saw my face looking particularly disheveled in the mirror of the train's washroom, my eyes swollen from crying at the airport in the afternoon, and in the evening, I was a mess at the train station. There were no sleeping berths available, not even a seat ticket. I stood at the door with my backpack, watching the night outside being disturbed by the train, feeling a sharp pain in my heart.

Upon waking again, I found myself lying in a hospital bed, with my father and aunt sitting by my side. My aunt held my hand, her eyes red and swollen. I suddenly recalled a phone call from my grandmother a few months ago, during which she cried on the other end of the line, saying, "I am almost dying, and you haven't come back. I have suffered for you in vain." My grandmother had said such things many times, and I had never taken them seriously. She was still quite healthy and relatively young, or at least that was how I always thought of her.

Two thousand yuan will definitely be enough

In the year I entered my freshman year, I came to Beijing alone from Changsha. My mother disapproved of my relationship with that person, scolding me with disappointment while pointing at my nose, saying that if I left, I should not come back. At that time, I made a choice between my mother and that person, but ultimately, that person lost me.

He has returned, his hands empty

I said nothing and just ran out with my backpack. Lan Bing followed me to the train station. It was only when I was buying the ticket that I remembered I had lost my wallet and had no money. The ticket was purchased by Lan Bing, and I boarded the train at ten o'clock in the evening. I sent a message to my mother saying wwwhetushucom .com: I will be home tomorrow morning

However, I promised her last time that I would definitely return this summer

I did not speak; two thousand yuan is indeed too much

In fact, I have not returned to Changsha for three years

As soon as I walked into the dormitory, Lan Bing solemnly placed her hand on my shoulder. Her attempt to comfort me only made me feel tense, causing me to break out in a sweat. She said, "Ah Xuan, where have you been these past two days? Just after you left yesterday, your mother called to say that your grandmother is critically ill. Your phone has been turned off, and we couldn't reach you at all. Your mother is almost going crazy looking for you."

"What a child you are. The documents can be processed again. We will go to the airport police station right away to get a temporary ID, and we can still make the flight." I looked up in confusion at He Luofan's face. His dark green eyes held a hint of pity. "I will cover the money in your wallet for you."

I felt a darkness before my eyes and collapsed at the door.
