Today these two young people found her... She saw the puppets she thought she would never see again... She remembered the long-lost memories...
regret……
The strong regret almost made the middle-aged woman feel breathless.
...
"Aunt?"
Meng Jixi frowned slightly.
...
"ah!"
The middle-aged woman suddenly came to her senses.
Seeing that both young people looked worried, she waved her hand and said, "I'm fine."
But the unnatural smile on her face made her words not very convincing.
The middle-aged woman sighed.
"I just remembered the stupid things I did at that time..."
"...I just feel regretful."
...
The middle-aged woman was about to speak when she saw Xiao Xiao smiling at her and shaking his head slightly.
She didn't understand.
Immediately, a voice sounded in her ears.
"Greetings……"
It was the waiter who brought the coffee they ordered earlier.
After all, they were sitting on chairs in an outdoor cafe, so they were naturally embarrassed not to order anything.
...
After the waiter left, the middle-aged woman smiled gratefully at Xiao Xiao.
She was so immersed in her own emotions just now that she didn't even notice the waiter approaching.
Even if what she's about to say isn't some state secret or something shady...
No.
Or, in a sense, her memories are indeed a bit "shady".
The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly.
Therefore, she doesn't want too many people, at least she doesn't want irrelevant people to hear it.
...
The middle-aged woman picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of coffee.
Fragrant taste, bitter taste.
She had just taken a sip, but her heart felt like it was filled with coffee, and the bitterness was almost unbearable.
...
The middle-aged woman took a deep breath.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized that she had overlooked a very important issue.
She looked at the two young people in front of her, confusion and surprise mixed on her face, "Where did you know about Big Bird?"
If they just discovered this puppet, how would they know about Big Bird?
Big Bird thing...
Apart from her, no one should know.
That......
How did these two young men know this?
...
"Another party."
Xiao Xiao didn't hide anything.
Of course, there is no need to hide it.
I came here today just for the Chongming Bird.
...
"Another...person involved?!"
Speaking of the latter part, the middle-aged woman's voice became a bit distorted and weird.
The middle-aged woman's eyes were wide open, but her expression was a little blank, showing a bit of confusion.
"...Big Bird?"
The middle-aged woman said these words very lightly.
Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi even heard a hint of caution in it.
...
Xiao Xiao nodded.
The middle-aged woman suddenly felt like she could breathe again.
It turned out that she had held her breath without realizing it.
"......real?"
The woman in the middle is grabbing the coffee cup with both hands unconsciously.
"Did you really see the big bird?"
The still soft voice showed a bit of trance.
...
Xiao Xiao nodded again.
His expression was calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.
"How else would we know the story about you and Big Bird?"
"......yes……"
The middle-aged woman nodded blankly.
"Otherwise, how would you know the story between me and Big Bird?"
Only she and Big Bird knew the story between them.
...
It took a while for the middle-aged woman to recover from the shocking news.
"where is it?!"
The middle-aged woman grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand excitedly, "Have you seen it?"
"Now that it has told you my story with it, right..."
Does it miss her too?
She actually didn't dare to say this.
"where is it?!"
The middle-aged woman tightened her fingers on Xiao Xiao's wrist.
"Where?!"
"I want to see it!"
Things that I thought would never happen happened today.
The middle-aged woman could not control her excited mood.
The puppets I thought I would never see again met...
The big bird I thought I would never see again...
She can also meet again!
...
Xiao Xiao moved his hand slightly and got rid of the middle-aged woman's tightly clasped fingers.
He raised his eyes.
His sight lightly passed over a big tree not far away.
Then he looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Auntie, can you tell us the reason why you sold the puppets?"
"That's what it wants to know too."
...
The middle-aged woman holds her left hand with her right hand and puts it on her knee.
The whole person showed a feeling of restlessness.
The second half of Xiao Xiao's words made her expression suddenly freeze.
What is supposed to come will always come.
The middle-aged woman's shoulders were slightly slumped.
The restless breath around him calmed down.
"It wants to know..."
"Too."
"Of course it wants to know..."
The middle-aged woman rubbed her forehead.
I don't know if it's a smile or a sad expression mixed together.
...
"then......"
The middle-aged woman's voice deepened...
...
The little girl grew up slowly.
She came into contact with more and more people.
Her world is getting bigger and bigger.
She can no longer play with Big Bird all day like she did when she was a child.
She spends less and less time at home.
She is always busy.
She knew that her time with Big Bird was getting less and less.
But she acquiesced to the change.
She is no longer a child, and she cannot play with Big Bird like she did when she was a child.
She felt sorry at first and wanted to spend more time with Big Bird.
But she found...
I don’t know since when, the relationship between her and Big Bird became mostly silent.
It's not that she has nothing to say.
She has a lot to say.
Just those words…
But that's not what he said to Big Bird.
What's the use of telling Big Bird?
Big Bird will be like her friend...complain with her that today's homework is so difficult...discuss excitedly with her about favorite TV series and celebrities...will be there when she is in a bad mood.
Send her funny pictures when you're good...?
Big birds don't.
In the past, she would tell Big Bird everything she saw during the day.
As long as Big Bird had some reaction, even if it was subtle, she would be happy.
but......
Gradually, she felt that it was better to confide her thoughts and thoughts to a big bird that didn't know whether it could understand human words...
Too stupid.
originally......
With her good popularity, she doesn't have to be so "poor" and can only talk to non-human beings.
...
No time to spend time with the big bird, no words to talk to the big bird...
At that time, she unconsciously became alienated from Big Bird.
She never thought that Big Bird would leave her.
She has been with Big Bird for so long...
Until one day, she suddenly discovered that she hadn't seen the big bird for several days.
At first, she didn't even care.
She thought Big Bird was just leaving temporarily.
In a few days, the big bird will come back.
only......
She never waited for Big Bird to come back.
...
It was much later when it was realized that Big Bird would never come back...
She was sitting at her desk, staring blankly out of the window for a long time.
...
The next day, the sun fell on her eyelids, and she opened her hazy eyes...
