It was Linxia who brought me the medicine for the ginger soup. I told him that I was going to pick the peonies, and that I was going to steal them from the botanical garden. I promised Lin Duan that I would send him flowers as a gift for half a month to show that I liked him.
Lin Xia didn't ask any questions. After half a month of drizzling rain, he would ride his bicycle every day to steal my peony flowers.
Then Lin Duan and I started dating.
I like him, I'm willing to do a lot of things for him, and Lin Xia dotes on me, also willing to do a lot of things for me. I've always thought that he would treat me like his little sister, give me all kinds of delicious things, and take care of me wherever he goes.
When Lin Duan and I were on good terms, Lin Xia became eccentric and her opinion became sharper.
My mother wanted me to learn piano at home, but I had an appointment with Lin Duan to go out and play, but he complained. My mother scolded me, so I ran over to Lin Xia's house, stuck a pin into his bicycle wheel, and scolded him again.
The next day I did not see Linxia, I felt strange, so I went to ask Dongzi. Zheng Dongzi said in surprise, "Why don't you go to the hospital to see Lin Xia-ge? Lin Xia-ge went out in the rain last night and fell outside the courtyard. It hurt so much that he was sent to the hospital overnight and has a cold."
I felt a little guilty. When Lin Duan brought me to see him, he was sad, but he didn't blame me in the slightest.
When the rain was over, things started to fall as soon as I opened the window. I ran downstairs to check, only to find that there were more than ten peonies. Some of them had rotted and withered over time while some of them were still fresh.
What did Lin Xia's actions mean? I only pretended not to know about this matter and continued to play with them, loving Lin Duan.
However, there was also a day when I broke the peace. Friendship broke down into pieces. I didn't know that my friendship was built on love. If I didn't like him, I would become an enemy.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Xia's words pulled me back from my thoughts.
I smiled. "Nope, Lin Xia-ge, it's not a weekend, are you also resting?"
"I have to pick someone up from the airport later."
"Then why did you transfer to the Botanical Garden? It's quite a distance away from the airport."
Lin Xia stopped the car, "We're here, let's go take a walk."
Wearing slippers was pretty good, so he wouldn't be tired when walking.
Ji Xiaobei saw my high heels, looked at a pair, and threw a pair. The shoes in the apartment were of all kinds, at most, they were medium heels. After wearing these shoes for so long, I felt quite comfortable wearing them.
His hands were in his thin coat, and his slippers were rattling as he walked.
As we went on, the botanical garden changed a lot, and I hadn't been here in years. Lin Xia led me straight ahead and then turned the corner.
He walked over, pinched one of them off, and handed it to me. "Take me to the airport to pick someone up."
The blood all over my body surged in that instant.
He took my hand and I stammered, "No... Yes... He's back. "
"Yes," said Lin Xia.
After a thousand days, after all these years, I thought he would never come back, but now, in Beijing, in the same city, he was breathing the same air and basking in the warm spring sun.
My hands were shaking, and my fingertips were trying to grasp something, but they were slippery with sweat.
