Slowly, Nathan stepped on the brake and pulled the car to a stable stop. He raised his eyes. Through the rear-view mirror, he could see that lanli was quietly leaning on the back of his chair. He was closing his eyes. Between the light and shadow, his calm and serene face seemed to be enjoying a moment of real peace.
Inexplicably, Nathan's nose is sour, and his voice is stuck in his throat.
However, lanli noticed the stopped car, opened his eyes, turned and looked out of the window. After arriving at the destination, he said, "you don't have to go to the parking lot. There is a temporary parking space nearby. You wait there. I'll be down soon After a simple explanation, Lan Li opened the door and quickly disappeared in the faint halo at the door of the hospital.
Nathan patted his head in chagrin, his shoulders drooping heavily; I tried to comfort Lan Li, but I couldn't say anything. I was really depressed.
Into the hospital hall, into the elevator, out of the elevator, to the nurse station. A series of actions, in the past few days, lanli has repeated many times, it seems that the body has left a memory, do not need to open thinking, the pace to pull the body to complete all the actions.
"Is Heather still in the ward? Or has it been delivered? " Lan Li asked the nurse on duty.
The nurse on duty looked at Lan Li in front of her, not only because of her appearance, but also because of her dress.
In the past, every time lanli appeared in the hospital, he was in plain clothes, even carrying skateboards. He looked like an ordinary teenager; But today, the well tailored suit and well groomed hairstyle make lanli look very strange.
"... ward." After the nurse on duty recovered, she gave the answer.
Blue Li showed a shallow smile, nodded, then walked to the ward.
With the white lights, white walls and empty corridors, the world turns blue and white. It seems that time and space have lost their meaning. Just walking in the endless black hole corridor, the slight sound of footsteps is stifled under the feet, and there is no sound ripple.
Gently push the door open, you can see Derek and Ellie sitting side by side by the window.
Two people are sitting in a trance, bathed in the bright moonlight, the body outline outlines a shallow silver, like a quiet lake, sparkling, but can not catch the ripple trace.
After seeing the movement in the ward, Derek raised his head and saw Lan Li. Suddenly, he stood up and set off a gust of air. The whole room became more and more cold.
Text message. It was sent by Derek to lanli. He felt that lanli had the right and needed to know. However, Derek did not expect that Langley would appear in person, and come so quickly. Looking at blue Li in his suit and shoes, Derek was a little at a loss. He stood in the same place, silent and motionless.
"What are you doing here?" Ellie's voice broke the silence, but the husky voice was like a mouthful of iron sand, a simple sentence, but fragmented. It sounds so strange, so distant, so tight.
"Ellie!" Derek pats Ellie on the shoulder and shakes her head, but Ellie frowns and struggles to get up, but when her knees soften, she falls down again, feeling very embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Ellie. I just came to say goodbye and I'll leave right away Lanli stopped and stood at the door. He stood so far away and kept his manners. It was as if there was a grand canyon in front of him. The raging wind was blowing, and everything in his sight became so small and helpless.
Ellie tries to stand up again. Derek steps forward, hugs her, taps her on the shoulder and whispers something.
Ellie looked up, haggard face, eyes, eyes fell on Lan Li.
Through the curtain of moonlight, the corridor light as the background, vaguely outlines the blue dress, a black suit with a white shirt, wearing a smoke gray bow tie, handsome posture stubbornly straighten the waist, shoulders, arms, waist lines in the light and shadow, indistinctly. Standing at the door with both feet stiff and polite, he didn't step over the thunder pool.
Ellie's eyes were filled with warmth. Then she turned her head and put her eyes away to hide her pain and sadness. Refuse to respond; But did not continue to insist.
Derek knows. Ellie agrees. He raised his head and nodded to Lan Li, who then stepped forward.
A short distance, just a few strides, lanli came to Heather's side.
It seems that there is no difference between her and afternoon. She still sleeps peacefully and peacefully. Her thick eyelashes curl up like butterfly wings and hide her bright and playful eyes. It seems that she is just tired and tired. So she closes her eyes and has a good sleep. After a short rest, she will open her eyes and sit up lively, Then he said:
It's time for her to practice her guitar. There's not much time left for the audition.
"It looks like you're going to miss it." Lanli said softly, his smile rising. "I promised to take you to the Grammy. Now it looks like you're going to miss it. But I'll keep my promise. The day after tomorrow, I'll still be at the Grammy, Annie and Alex
After a short pause, he chuckled, but his eyes drooped, hiding a flash of light, "I know you will be upset and miss this grand meeting. It doesn't matter. When Annie comes back, she'll tell you all about it. You know, she's always been a good storyteller
"Don't worry. You've kept your promise. I won't go on about it any more." Lan Li's smile flew gently, as if a butterfly flapped its wings, and her eyes showed a trace of tenderness.
After a glance, lanli saw the kite on the windowsill, the Butterfly Kite. "The weather in New York today is very good. It seems to be the best day of this winter. I was going to fly kites with you, but now it seems that I can only fly kites next time. "
The words stop here, as if there are countless topics to talk about, but it seems that all of them are useless nonsense. After thinking about it, it suddenly stopped.
The smile on the corner of the mouth bloomed again, which seemed to be self mockery and lightness. The drooping eyes concealed the emotion in the heart, and there was no trace on the calm surface. Then, with his hands behind him, he bent down slowly and approached Heather's calm and serene face.
Don't know why, blue Li always feel, Heather will suddenly open his eyes, pretending to be fierce to shout, "scared you!" Then I look at the shocked victims and laugh. Such a prank, so fresh, so vivid, that there is a real illusion, let the smile from the corner of the mouth precipitation to the bottom of the eye.
Lanli leaned against Heather's ear and whispered, "don't worry. Your secret is kept in that melody. It's always safe. " With that, he raised his upper body a little, and looked at Heather's face and features. Finally, on his white and broad forehead, he printed a kiss gently and gently, "good night. Heather cross. "
Not goodbye, but good night.
Then, standing up straight again, Langley looks at Derek and Ellie sitting on the other side of the bed. Although Ellie still turned her head and refused to have any form of eye contact, Langley said with a smile, "I'll go back first and leave you and Heather some private time. Derek, Ellie, thank you
A simple "thank you", but let Ellie look up, Lengleng Leng looking at Lan Li, and then saw the familiar smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth; Derek opened his mouth but made no sound. He just nodded clumsily in response.
"Good night." Lan Li politely said goodbye, then turned around and left the ward.
Watching Lan Li's back gradually moving away, penetrating the straight figure of the suit and shoes, in a trance, Ellie seems to see Heather's graduation ceremony.
A handsome and tall boy, dressed up, came home to invite Heather to the prom; Wearing a beautiful skirt and braiding her fishbone, Heather stood at the entrance of the stairs with a smile. Her Heather has finally grown up.
Involuntarily, Ellie stretched out her right hand and seemed to want to call Lan Li, but after all, she couldn't open her mouth. She only saw the door open and closed, and the whole ward fell into silence again. Suddenly, Ellie's tears burst the dike, sad from the heart, cry to can't help.
Derek raised his hand and tried to appease Ellie, but he found that his fingertips were shaking badly. He lifted them and lifted them. After all, he could not help but put them down. He leaned against the wall nihilistically and blankly. His eyes were warm and he closed them in a hurry. Tightly.
Leave the ward, leave the corridor, walk into the elevator, walk out of the elevator, leave the hospital hall, and walk to the car. A series of actions, in the middle of the night in the cold and quiet, orderly, step by step, Nathan has not had time to come back to his senses, Langley opened the door, sat in the back seat, "let's go, let's go back to the apartment."
Nathan stared in the rearview mirror, and everything that happened today was too incredible. Nathan's mind couldn't keep up with the rhythm, "ah?" He made a subconscious response, and Langley repeated it again, but Nathan was still full of question marks and confirmed again, "hmm?"
"I said, let's go back to the apartment now." Langley didn't have the slightest impatience. He explained patiently, "when I get up tomorrow morning, I need to pick up Annie and Alex first, and then go to the airport. I need to have an early rest tonight. By the way, did the personal doctor in Los Angeles get in touch? Have you communicated all the medical records of Annie and Alex? It's just a three-day trip, but we need to be fully prepared. "
Nathan finally regained his mind. His eyes were sore and he nodded in confusion. "Well, it's all arranged."
