The girl raised her head and looked at Chi Xiuchuan seriously.
"That big tree really can talk."
"Will give me a response."
That's why she always took the time to go there to talk to Dashu.
…
Chi Xiuchuan was slightly startled.
…
The girl opens her eyes wide.
After a few seconds, the girl looked away.
"……I'm just kidding."
She didn't hold on.
If it weren’t for my mother’s reaction before and the smell of disinfectant floating in the air now-
In the hospital, even outside, you can still smell the faint smell of disinfectant.
It's very clear that you are in the hospital at this time.
She may be ignorant and fearless.
She might be able to stick to her point of view regardless.
but……
She knew she was afraid.
She was afraid that she would be defined as mentally ill.
If it weren't for the reluctance that always existed in her heart and the good impression this doctor gave her, she wouldn't have said the words she said before.
But……
She still flinched.
…
The girl smiles.
Pretending that what she just said was just what she said...it was just a joke that wasn't very funny.
When it doesn't come true.
She hoped this doctor wouldn't take him seriously.
She was a little afraid to look at the doctor's expression at this time.
The strong regret almost overflowed into her throat like a surging wave.
She swallowed hard.
But I found it was hard to swallow.
The slight feeling of suffocation made her almost want to vomit.
…
"Where?"
Completely unexpected words came to the girl's ears.
The girl suddenly looked at the doctor.
"……ah?"
The girl's mouth opened wide.
What?
Did she hear it wrong?
What did the doctor just say?
…
"I'm asking, where is the big tree you mentioned?"
Chi Xiuchuan repeated his question.
He also said it more specifically.
…
This time, the girl couldn't hear it more clearly.
Her eyes widened.
"You ask me...where is that big tree?"
…
"Um."
Chi Xiuchuan nodded.
"Can you tell me?"
"I want to know where the big tree you mentioned is?"
…
"Why?"
The girl blurted out and asked.
Why ask her where the big tree is?
This doctor...
What do you want to do?
Did he... really believe what she said?
The girl was very confused.
For a moment, the thoughts in my mind were like tangled yarn, and I couldn't figure out a single clue.
…
"I want to see that big tree."
Chi Xiuchuan is very candid.
…
The girl was stunned again.
"You... want to see that big tree?"
"you……"
"Believe me?"
The girl's eyes lit up with disbelief.
Her hands couldn't help but clasped together tightly.
…
"Not really."
Chi Xiuchuan shook his head slightly.
"So I wanted to take a look."
"That way we can verify whether what you said is true, right?"
…
"Ah, oh oh."
The girl nodded blankly.
"Yep."
…
"So, can you tell me the address?"
Chi Xiuchuan raised the corners of his mouth.
…
"Can."
The girl told the doctor the address of the big tree.
That big tree is in an old community.
The people living in the area are basically old people and young people working.
Most of them are not at home during the day.
The community is very quiet.
It’s also early to turn off the lights at night.
The time she goes to the big tree is uncertain.
Because there are direct buses from her home or school.
If she has something to say and has enough time, she will take the bus.
…
"……that……"
The girl pursed her lips.
He seemed to want to say something.
Some don't know how to speak.
…
Chi Xiuchuan seemed to know what she was thinking.
He shook his head.
"You'd better not go there again."
"I've told you the reason before."
"If you just want to find someone to talk to, then you have many choices."
“A choice that won’t get you into trouble.”
"Isn't it?"
…
"But……"
The girl opened her mouth quickly.
He seemed to be retorting, but the voice that came out quickly weakened.
"That big tree can talk..."
The girl became bolder when she found that the doctor didn't seem to show much abnormality to her words.
…
The doctor was wrong about something.
She wanted to find someone to talk to.
But she didn't have many choices.
What she wants is someone who can respond to her.
rather than a dead thing.
The so-called confiding is not her talking to herself alone.
…
Why does she have to take a car every time and spend time going to places that are not so close?
I also had to hide it from my parents and friends.
If it was just an ordinary big tree, she could just pick one downstairs.
Why sacrifice the near for the far?
Because, except for that special big tree, other trees would not respond to her.
I won't be happy with her.
I won't comfort her when she's sad.
I will not "share the same hatred" with her when she complains and is angry.
That's why she valued that big tree so much.
The big tree is amazing.
She once asked the big tree why it was so special?
The big tree just swayed its soft branches in the wind.
She stopped asking.
As long as Dashu is willing to listen to her talk, it will be fine.
Others are not important.
The big tree...is a secret that belongs only to her.
…
Now……
Ask her to give up the big tree...
Give up the secret that belongs only to her.
Abandoning her secret base...
…
The girl was very reluctant to give up.
For this reason, she felt resistance in her heart.
The look on his face was not very happy either.
Why did she give up the big tree?
…
“Is a big tree important?”
Chi Xiuchuan looked at the girl who looked like she was about to lose her temper, "Or is your mother more important?"
…
"Mom is important!"
the girl blurted out.
No matter what, once you compare with your mother, the winner... will only be your mother.
…
"In that case..."
A smile appeared on Chi Xiuchuan's face.
"I think you can make a decision."
…
The girl bit her lower lip.
Soon, her tangled facial features relaxed.
She made up her mind.
"Um."
"I won't go there again."
Mom is the most important.
If going there makes my mother unhappy, she won't go there again.
Although……
…
"Brother doctor."
The girl raised her eyes.
"You go there and tell Dashu for me..."
The girl dug her fingers hard, "I will never go there again..."
"Please help me say sorry to it."
"besides……"
"goodbye."
"Well."
The girl lowered her head.
"No more goodbye..."
…
"uncertain."
Chi Xiuchuan's words made the girl raise her head suddenly.
ah?
…
Chi Xiuchuan frowned.
"When you grow up, if you still remember that big tree, you can go and see it."
