Before the yoga class, Yan Xu got a call from Jolin. Hearing that she had come to Beijing, Yan Xu was a little surprised and asked her to meet in the evening. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while. Qiao Lin said in a pleading voice, where are you now? Can I come to you?
They haven't seen each other for two years. When my grandmother died last time, Yan Xu went back to Tai 'an and took away some childhood things. When he left, Qiao Lin asked, are you not going to come back again? Yan Xu said, you can come to Beijing to see me.
Qiao Lin asked, can I call you when I am sad? Of course, Yan Xu said. Qiao Lin always calls at night and sometimes cries for a long time. But she hasn't called in the past five months.
It was dark outside and they got into the car. The floodlight hit Qiao Lin's side face, cheekbones and corners of her mouth with two bruises. Yan Xu asked her what she wanted to eat. She turned her head and smiled at Yan Xu. Just some spicy things. I have no taste in my mouth.
She sat up straight, pulled the seat belt up from her stomach and said, can you not fasten it? Very painful. "Tie it on," Yan Xu said. I just learned to drive, but I still borrow my car. Jolin leaned forward and said to drive faster and take me for a ride.
That road is blocked. The car struggled for hundreds of meters and stopped at a crossroads. Yan Xu turned to ask, when will parents leave? Jolin said, tomorrow morning. Yan Xu asked, what did you tell them? Qiao Lin said, I said to find high school classmates, and they didn't care. Yan Xu said that if they asked me, they would say I was on a business trip. Yilin nodded, I know, I know.
The car drove into the underground garage of the shopping mall. Yan Xu stepped on the handbrake and told Jolin that she had arrived. Jolin leaned back and said I don't want to move. This seat can also be heated. It is really comfortable. She closed her eyes as if she were going to sleep. Yan Xu shook her. She grabbed Yan Xu's hand, put it on her stomach and whispered, Son, this is your period Qiao Yan. Come and meet her.
A smile appeared on her face in the darkness. Yan Xu seems to really feel something moving. Like a spray, gently hit her palm. She pulled her hand back and said to Jolin, let's go.
Yan Xu squatted on the ground, clutching his stomach. In the bright sunshine, those people's legs were swinging, and they crossed the crossbar one by one. Jump, jump, someone shouted to her. She stood up with all her strength, and the crossbar was in front of her, getting closer and closer. Someone pulled her ... she felt like she was in the car, and Jolene's voice passed overhead. Master, drive faster. She felt relieved and closed her eyes.
