She's dead anyway
Suddenly someone touched my shoulder, and I felt as if I had been pulled out of a nightmare. I felt a sense of relief from death. I turned around, it was Xia Xiaoran. Of course it was her. Who else could it be?
This station was still two stops away from where I was supposed to be. I took a cursory glance at it, then nodded and said, "Goodbye."
When she got out of the car, the bus moved on. By this time, I had already come back to my senses and didn't continue to think about those things. Instead, I turned my head to look at my surroundings.
There weren't many people in the car now, just an old couple and a office worker who was dozing off with his head down.
The office worker's hair was slightly disheveled, and I could see his eyelids from my angle. Thus, I could see the thick black bruise in front of my eyes. It seemed like he hadn't slept well for a long time.
What caught my attention more was the elderly couple, the two of them talking to each other, the characteristics of the elderly, or the two of them letting it go when they saw that there was no one in the car, but the voices were so loud that it sounded like a quarrel.
However, their topic was actually warm and everyday. The old lady said that the dishes she bought today were not fresh, and the stall owner was actually more expensive than others. Also, the fruits were too heavy and her hands were hurting. She would go buy the fruits herself later.
That old man just agreed on the side that he would call him over to help the old lady with the food in the future.
It was a very common topic, but the tacit understanding and love between them that had existed for decades made others envious and unable to ignore it.
But what was even more surprising was that the old lady was wearing a hospital gown.
I turned my head and listened to them in silence.
They never noticed me. The office workers never woke up.
It wasn't until the bus stopped, and since the house I rented was at the last stop of the bus, when I arrived at the bus stop, it meant that the entire car had arrived at the bus stop.
The office worker finally woke up. He rubbed his eyes, stood up, yawned and stretched before getting out of the car with his briefcase.
I stood up and looked towards the old couple, but the old lady was leaning on the old man. The old man was holding her, and since he had lowered his head, I couldn't see his expression.
What a love. I thought to myself as I walked past them, keeping my footsteps low and trying not to disturb them.
However, the old man said in a low voice, "Girl, please call an ambulance for us."
Ambulance? I looked up in surprise. "Is there something wrong with the old lady?"
"She's dead." My movements faltered.
The old man repeated, "She's dead … Why did she die? If you leave me here so early, how will I live in the future? "
The old man looked up slightly, and I saw the water stain on his face.
He cried.
I called the ambulance, and it would take some time to get there. I was a little anxious, but the old man said, "Don't worry about the girl. She was dead anyway. The ambulance couldn't save them. Who would be able to revive a dead person … "
In fact, this scene is very strange, but perhaps I have heard them speak before, so I don't think it's scary at all.
