It was just the two of her and me, carefree, going to and from school. Basically, I would ride her bike, laughing, cursing, and laughing. This kind of life was simple and beautiful, and it is indeed infinitely missed, but it is
It's gone, and there's no going back.
I wanted to tell her right away that this was impossible, and besides, I had Huang Yiyi again, but remembering that she was suffering from a high fever, I wanted to agree to her promise and coax her, but suddenly I remembered what Teacher Zhu said, don’t do it because of it.
Be compassionate and stay with her.
I was struggling for a while. I couldn't bear to shatter her wish, nor could I make any promises to her. I could only remain silent again, pretending not to hear and picking up the White Rabbit toffee in my hand.
"Okay? Brother Liang, let's go back to our previous life, okay?"
Zhang Miaomiao asked again, but I could clearly feel that her confidence this time was not as strong as when she asked the question the first time. She might have figured out what I was thinking.
This time, I couldn't just remain silent. At this time, I had already torn up the toffee in my hand. I deliberately changed the subject and said, "Come on, Miaomiao, the candies are ready, here you go!"
As I spoke, I put the torn candy pieces into the palm of Zhang Miaomiao's hand. A look of disappointment appeared on her face, and then she stared blankly at the White Rabbit toffee in her palm and murmured to herself,
"How wonderful the days were in the past. We went to school together, went to school together, ate together, laughed together when we wanted to laugh, and cried together when we wanted to cry. What wonderful days!"
As Zhang Miaomiao spoke, she put the White Rabbit toffee into her mouth, closed her eyes slightly, and chewed the toffee. Her face was full of intoxication and enjoyment, as if she had really returned to her previous life.
Depressed, I am very depressed.
Escape, I want to escape.
Zhang Miaomiao's mesmerizing look as she recalled the past made my palms sweat even more. No matter how beautiful the past was, it was just the past and could not be returned.
Generally, people who escape reality always imagine going back to the past. How can Zhang Miaomiao continue like this? I am worried.
Suddenly, Zhang Miaomiao opened her eyes and said as if she had been wronged and bullied, "Brother Liang, White Rabbit toffee has a bitter taste."
When I heard what she said, I felt a little puzzled. What is the bitter taste? Could it be that the White Rabbit toffee has some quality problem because it has expired? Isn't that right? I even checked the date when I bought it? It shouldn't be possible
Expired.
But it was impossible for Zhang Miaomiao to make something out of nothing, so I said with some uncertainty, "Come on, Miaomiao, show me the remaining White Rabbit toffee in your bag."
As I said this, I took the White Rabbit toffee from Zhang Miaomiao's hand and carefully looked at the production date over and over again. Yes, it was indeed within the shelf life. How could the White Rabbit toffee taste bitter?
I still wasn't completely reassured, so I took out a piece of White Rabbit toffee from the bag, tore off the wrapper, put it in my mouth and chewed it. It was so sweet that it was so sweet that there was nothing wrong with it.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the White Rabbit toffee, I raised my head and looked at Zhang Miaomiao, pointed at the White Rabbit toffee and asked with some confusion, "Miaomiao, isn't this candy bitter?"
Zhang Miaomiao suddenly felt sadness on her face. She pointed at her heart and said, "My heart is bitter. No matter how sweet the candy is, it won't feel sweet anymore."
After she finished speaking, she turned around, her back to me, and said nothing.
We were silent for a long time. She turned her back to me, and I just sat on the edge of the bed.
