Middle-aged men are not surprised that girls have this problem.
The girl on the phone a month ago explained it very clearly.
Just as he was about to give his address, a thought came to his mind and he changed his words, "When will you arrive in Yanjing?"
"I'll pick you up at the airport."
"Then I'll send you there."
"ah."
The girl was slightly shocked, "How is that possible?"
"It's too much trouble for you, Uncle Chen."
"I want to go."
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed and said what he was thinking, "As you know, I can't see the ghost in the tomb."
"It's no use going alone."
"Of course, actually I don't have any reason to go..."
The middle-aged man sneered, "This will make me even more embarrassed to trouble Mr. Xiao to accompany me."
"This time I just used the excuse of sending you there, so I'll go over and have a look."
"When the time comes, I hope you can tell me something about the tomb ghosts."
...
So that’s it.
There was a look of surprise on the girl's face.
The psychology of middle-aged men is not difficult to understand.
Ah Piao is a monster.
The girl thought, anyone else would be very curious.
Monster...
She was really shocked when she heard Uncle Chen tell her this.
Did she see a monster?
Is she special?
To this day, she still feels a little unreal about this.
Perhaps, this erratic mood will not settle until she sees Ah Piao again with her own eyes?
…
"Then Uncle Chen, I'll trouble you."
The girl smiled and thanked her, and then told the other party the time she arrived in Yanjing.
"OK."
The middle-aged man thought for a while and then said, "Send me your flight information later."
"That way there won't be any mistakes."
"OK."
The girl nodded, "I'll send it to you after I hang up the phone."
"Then hang up the phone."
The middle-aged man said simply, "You have to board the plane too. One last check to see if you have forgotten anything."
"We'll see you in Yanjing then."
"Well, Uncle Chen."
The girl's eyes curved into crescent shapes, "We'll see you in Yanjing."
…
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and decided not to call classmate Xiao.
What happened next was his own "unnecessary move".
There is no need to disturb classmate Xiao.
…
The next day, the middle-aged man drove to the airport.
He didn't go in.
There are too many people inside.
He later sent a message to the girl, saying that he was waiting for her at the airport gate.
The message also included the color and license plate number of his car.
In order to make it easier for the girl to identify him, he put a bamboo charcoal dog in the car on the roof of the car.
Looking at that silly dog face, he thought, this must be very conspicuous, right?
...
From a distance, the girl saw the crouching dog on the roof of the black car.
A pair of dead fish eyes, embarrassing and cute appearance made her laugh uncontrollably.
She walked straight to the car.
Along the way, she noticed that many people were looking at the lying dog on the roof of the car, with smiles on their faces and slight laughter in their mouths.
...
"Uncle Chen."
The girl walked up to the middle-aged man leaning on the car door.
The middle-aged man straightened up suddenly and asked, "Chu Kexin?"
He looked at the girl opposite with ear-length hair.
"Yes."
"Hello, Uncle Chen."
The girl stretched out her hand and said, "I am Chu Kexin."
The girl's generosity made the middle-aged man laugh.
He held the girl's hand and said, "Hello, Chu Kexin."
"Welcome back home."
...
The two of them didn't exchange much greetings. The middle-aged man took off the dog on the roof of the car and asked the girl to get in the car.
The girl sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window at the scenery passing behind her, with a dazed look on her face.
She found that her heartbeat was a little fast.
Maybe...her situation is called shyness in close proximity, right?
The girl couldn't help but curl her mouth.
It's really useless.
She secretly complained to herself.
As soon as we set off, I started to feel nervous.
Isn't this too early?
...
Even though she told herself this, the girl was still nervous all the way.
And as the destination got closer, her hands on her knees unconsciously clasped together, and her fingertips pressed hard, slightly digging into the back of her hands.
…
"Chu Kexin, here we are."
The middle-aged man looked at the familiar mountains beside him and slowly stopped the car.
"right here."
The girl looked up at the mountains outside the car window and murmured, "Is this right here?"
Mother……
Ah Piao...
Although her heart was still beating a little too fast, a smile slowly appeared on her face.
Sorry for coming to see you so late.
…
"Let's go up."
The middle-aged man got out of the car.
"Um."
The girl picked up her suitcase.
Inside is a small flower basket that she wants to give to her mother and Ah Piao.
Accidentally, she overdid it again.
Just think of it as an apology for not seeing them for so many years.
…
The girl followed the middle-aged man and walked up the mountain.
She looked around, trying to find a familiar feeling.
But I found that something was strange in my heart.
Sure enough, it’s been too long since you’ve been here?
The girl smiled bitterly.
…
"It'll be there soon."
The middle-aged man turned to look at the girl behind him, "It's right in front."
"How's it going? Does it feel familiar?"
he asked with a smile.
The girl shook her head.
"After all, you were very young when you were here last time."
It’s not surprising for middle-aged men.
The girl smiles.
Yes, she was too young at that time and didn't know anything, so she put herself into a passive situation later.
Now that I have grown up, I know that those times can no longer be returned.
Simply, she can still make up for it.
From now on, she will never miss an appointment again.
I obviously promised my mother and Piao at that time that I would visit them every year.
…
"arrive."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile a little.
His eyes subconsciously wandered around the tombstone.
Trying to see something.
The result was, of course, nothing as expected.
Although it was expected, the middle-aged man was still a little disappointed.
It's probably impossible for him to see the tomb ghost in this life, right?
It's really frustrating when you think about it.
He sighed slightly.
He was obviously made aware of the existence of the tomb ghost, so why not just let him see the tomb ghost?
God is too stingy.
He turned to look at the girl, "Chu Kexin, this is your mother's cemetery."
"Have you seen the tomb ghost?"
"Is it here?"
He also suddenly thought that classmate Xiao had said that the tomb ghosts had no fixed abodes and wandered among different cemeteries.
Therefore, the fact that he didn't notice the tomb ghost just now doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't see the tomb ghost. It's also possible that the tomb ghost really wasn't here.
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly because of his unwillingness to give up.
Are you still dreaming?
…
The girl's eyes moved away from the woman's photo on the tombstone and glanced around.
Then, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
