I stopped in front of that window because I saw a doll. Yes, it was a big doll with yellow hair and blue eyes wearing a long skirt. It was about seventy or eighty centimeters tall.
This doll is very similar to a doll I saw in a gift shop outside school more than ten years ago. At that time, Deng Wenliang and I were walking through the gift shop, and my eyes were immediately drawn to the doll that was modeled after a real person.
I was attracted by the big doll I made.
That doll cost 98 yuan back then, and our monthly living expenses were only about 300 yuan. This was a normal consumption level on Chinese university campuses in the late 1990s, so the price of that doll was an astronomical figure for us.
.
Seeing me staring at the doll intently, Wen Liang said, "Why don't you buy it?"
At that time, although his family situation was slightly better than mine, it was not particularly well-off, so I stopped his extravagant behavior and said, "Forget it."
Then I took his hand and tried to leave the window. Before leaving, Wen Liang said to me: "In the future, I will definitely buy you a big doll that is much more exquisite than this one."
Looking at his sincere eyes, I, who was still young at the time, was moved beyond words...
So many years have passed in a flash. The doll in the window in front of me is priced at more than 600 yuan. With Deng Wenliang's current income level, he can buy countless dolls like this. However, he may have forgotten the promise he made back then.
Already?
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but little things like this always bring back memories. I know I can’t go on like this, because if I go on like this, I might fall into a severe depression. I know I should be a
It's time to choose.
Just feeling sad and thinking secretly, I slowly walked forward again, but I didn't expect that as I walked, I met a person in front of me that I was afraid of seeing. He was Ye Xing.
When Ye Xing called me, I looked up from my confusion and almost didn't recognize him. Because my daughter has been busy with studies recently and has stopped playing the piano, so I haven't seen Ye Xing for a while.
In front of him, he was wearing a turtleneck sweater and a short winter coat. He looked heroic and energetic. He was really a heart-warming young man.
He looked at me with surprise in his eyes, and I felt a little embarrassed. After all, when I saw him, I would think of what happened that night, but I still asked him politely: "Are you out for a walk?"
Ye Xing smiled, revealing a row of white teeth. He always gave people such a clean and refreshing feeling.
He said to me, "I just came back after going out to play with my classmates." He then added, "Oh, I live nearby and rented a house with my friends." Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to me.
The neighborhood next to it.
I knew that Ye Xing was about to graduate, but I didn't know that he had already rented a house outside.
Ye Xing looked at me and asked me softly: "What are you doing? Isn't uncle accompanying you tonight?"
I smiled awkwardly and said nothing. I thought this guy was asking questions knowingly.
Seeing that I didn't answer, Ye Xing must have understood. He smiled and asked me: "Would you like to sit at my place? My roommate is not here, so it is very convenient."
Looking at his bright and clear eyes, I admit that my heart was beating wildly at that moment. I could not resist the strong temptation of this young boy towards me, so I nodded towards him.
