The weather was getting colder and colder, and the temperature seemed to drop every day.
Although the heating in the northern rooms had always been very good, there were also many drawbacks. The air quality was poor, and it seemed that there was rarely a clear blue sky.
During the lunch break, Lin Wan Bai would often stand at the window and look outside, feeling that the misty sky was just like her mood.
She didn't have much appetite for the past few days, so her colleagues helped her order the dishes. Most of the time, she only ate a few bites before putting them down.
His phone rang. The call was from Aunt Zhao. He asked her on the line, "Lil 'White, I've already packed up your grandma's things. Do you want to leave them here or take them back?"
Lin Wan Bai thought, in another day, it will be the weekend, "I'll bring it back."
On Friday night, she bought a train ticket, took the train for the night, and returned to the countryside.
Lin Wan Bai stood alone in the courtyard for a long time.
The shed outside had been demolished on the day of the funeral, and everything outside had returned to its former calm. She looked at the door of the house and had the feeling that in the next moment, her grandmother's limping figure would emerge from it.
There were some sounds coming from outside the door, and a slightly plump figure walked in.
Seeing her stand there in a daze, Aunt Zhao quickly walked up and discovered that her entire body was ice-cold. "Xiaobai, it's so cold now, what are you standing outside for!?" Don't catch a cold anymore. Hurry up and enter the house! "
Lin Wan Bai nodded and followed Aunt Zhao into the house.
The old man didn't have many things and didn't have many things left behind. They were already packed, and were actually just clothes and things to use. They were just a thought left behind for the people living in this world.
He took out a wooden comb from his bag. It was the one his grandma used to hold with the comb in her hand. She even said that she was worried about the three thousand strands of silk and that everything would be fine after she combed it.
Lin Wan Bai caressed it as if it were a precious treasure.
Aunt Zhao watched from the side and couldn't help wiping her eyes. She felt very sorry for her.
Lin Wan Bai carefully put the wooden comb back. "Aunt Zhao, these two days, I can always dream of grandmother, and always dream of her smiling at me."
"You're missing her too much!" Aunt Zhao sighed.
"That's right …" Lin Wan Bai nodded his head, his eyes in a daze, "I am still not willing to believe that the elder had recovered so well, why did he suddenly leave me …."
Aunt Zhao also nodded, but she seemed to suddenly think of something and said hesitantly, "Lil 'White, your grandma was too flustered after she left. There's something I forgot to tell you …"
"What is it?" Lin Wan Bai did not understand.
"Someone came to the house at noon the day your grandmother died." Aunt Zhao recalled.
"Someone has come? "Who is it?" Lin Wan Bai was even more confused.
Grandmother's side already had no relatives. For so many years, the grandfather and grandson pair had been relying on each other for survival.
I know the bag on her back. I've always heard my daughter mention it before, she said that it was fake and that it would cost more than a thousand dollars. I think it's called the Donkey Esper! "But he doesn't have a very good temper. He's very arrogant, and looks like he's been spoiled. It's as if he's only using his nose to look at people …"
Lin Wan Bai had already guessed what would happen when he heard this.
Many of the characteristics pointed to one person.
Lin Yao Yao?
Lin Wan Bai frowned, he had a bad feeling about this. He clenched his hands and asked, "What did she come here for?"
"She must have come here to look for your grandma. I don't know what exactly she talked about because I was paid for it!" Aunt Zhao paused here as if she was concerned about her face, then hesitantly continued, "When I come back, I vaguely hear two people talking about you. The other side calls you a shameless Xiao San who seizes people and even says that you stole someone else's fiance …"
"..." What did you say? " Lin Wan Bai felt like he was being hit on the head.
Auntie Zhao sighed and continued, "Little White, your grandma suffered a heart attack, so the thing she was most afraid of was her emotions fluctuating. After the other person left, your grandma became very angry, and sat on that peach wood chair in the outer room, and almost stood up. I quickly found medicine for her to eat before she recovered, but I didn't expect that after that, I went to the grocery store to buy food, and your grandma just laid on the ground …"
Lin Wan Bai's eyes turned black, and his ears seemed to go deaf.
No wonder Grandma left so suddenly!
That evening, she took her grandmother's belongings and got on the train. Although it was a temporary ticket, it wasn't the peak season. Plus, the train was the slowest one, there weren't many people on it.
Not long after he got on the car, the phone in his bag rang.
"Hey, brother Yan Feng …"
Ever since she returned from the countryside, Yan Feng had been very worried about her. She wanted to call her and ask how she was feeling these past two days, so that she could call her to come out with him. "Xiao Wen, have you eaten? Shall we have dinner tonight? "
"No, I've already eaten …" Lin Wan Bai did not lie as he ate a piece of bread before he got on the car.
Coincidentally, the train stopped at a small station and the announcement sounded.
"Xiao Wen, you're not at home?" Yan Feng asked immediately after hearing it.
"Yeah, I went back to my hometown to retrieve my grandmother's things. Right now, I'm on the train back …" Lin Wan Bai looked out of the window and saw that the train was already entering the platform.
Yan Feng seemed to pause for a moment, and asked: "Xiao Wen, are you alone?"
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai said softly, she could hear the surprise in his voice.
Not wanting to explain anything, she raised her hand and pressed it against her throbbing temple. "Brother Yan Feng, I'm a little tired, I want to lie down and sleep. I won't talk to you for now …"
After hanging up, although she was lying on her bed, how could she sleep?
She had kept her eyes open all night, and every time she turned over, her hands were clenched into fists.
The next day, only when it was close to noon did the train slowly enter the station. The moment Lin Wan Bai stepped off the train, he immediately took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and then pursed his lips to ask: "Lin Yao Yao, where are you?!"
"Lin Wan Bai, did you eat the wrong medicine? How dare you talk to me in such a tone?" Lin Yao Yao cried out unhappily, as if he was always bullying her. He then continued with his arrogant and domineering attitude, "Why are you questioning me!? Do I need to report my whereabouts to you? "
"I'm asking you, where are you?!" Lin Wan Bai clenched his teeth, and almost shouted out.
Seemingly shocked by her tone, Lin Yao Yao paused for two seconds, and then quickly let out two cold snorts, as he said impatiently: "I'm at the unusual dining room on the road of friendship, what's wrong?"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan Bai quickly followed the crowd and left.
She knew about the restaurant that Lin Yao Yao was talking about, it was near the Hauptmann's Building. In the past, Huo Chang Yuan had driven over to find her at noon, and the two of them had eaten there twice.
