On the way, Gu Xiaoai met a stream where garbage was also thrown away.
Her thin and frail appearance almost made Gu Xiaoai suspect that it was not her who threw the garbage, but the garbage that threw her.
Fate is really a strange thing. When we didn't know each other, it seemed like we couldn't see it. Now that we know each other, it almost feels like a coincidence.
"Hi."
"Hi."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Gu Xiaoai made Xi a friend during her pregnancy, and they often went out for tea and dinner.
During the day, her son had to go to class and Li Juefeng had to go to the company. As a pregnant woman, she had too much time to do. It was really much better to have a friend.
Xi has no job, she is a little woman who relies on her husband to support her, and she has nothing to do all day long.
In the mall, Gu Xiaoai picked out winter clothes for Len and Li Juefeng. As the Lunar New Year was approaching, the mall was decorated early.
"Do you often go out to buy clothes for your husband and children?" Xi stood beside her and asked softly.
"No," Gu Xiaoai said. Li Juefeng regularly asked e.s brand clothing to deliver new season clothes. The dressing room at home was for one person only.
But she still wanted to come out and choose their clothes herself.
Gu Xiaoai concentrated on picking up Li Juefeng's clothes. When she turned her head, she saw Xi standing in front of the tie counter, holding a twill tie.
Gu Xiaoai walked over and asked with a smile, "Is it for my husband?"
Since they have known each other for many days, Gu Xiaoai has never asked about her family affairs.
Xi seemed to have not heard her voice, standing there quietly, holding the twill tie in his hand.
After a long time, Xi suddenly said to himself, "Have you ever missed someone to the point of breaking your heart?"
A very light but forceful voice.
"..."
Gu Xiaoai was stunned and looked at Xi in surprise.
She always felt that Xi had a story, but she never took the initiative to ask for fear of touching other people's sadness.
Missing someone to the point of breaking your heart?
Yes, why not?
When she was heartbroken, she didn't know what faith she relied on to survive.
"My husband and I were separated for four years. During those four years, I had to rely on the help of a psychiatrist to maintain a normal life." Gu Xiaoai said lightly, with a wry smile on her lips.
When I think about those four years, and then think about my current life, I always have a terrible feeling that things have changed...
I almost forgot how she managed to survive those four years. Without Len, without Li Juefeng, she was the only one...
Hearing her words, Xi turned around, looked at her with some astonishment, and apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask about your past..."
"It's nothing. My psychiatrist told me that there are some things that I need to talk about." Gu Xiaoai smiled and glanced down at the tie in her hand, "If you want to talk, I will be a confidential listener."
Xi looked at her blankly, then smiled happily.
Even her smile was soft and weak.
Xi looked down at the tie in his hand and touched the twill pattern on it with his fingers, "When he was sixteen years old, he attended the dance as an adult. The first tie he wore was the one I chose, twill pattern."
Gu Xiaoai listened quietly.
Xi then lost her voice, just looking at the tie, her brown eyes carrying all the sadness, as if just pushing her would make tears fall from her eyes...
Gu Xiaoai looked down at the tie in her hand and asked lightly, "What are you talking about..."
