As if an earthquake was occurring, the bed beneath Lu Sheng was shaking violently, and his body was swinging from side to side with the shaking of the bed. The gentle pillow had been protecting his head. After a huge bump,
He finally woke up.
Faced with such a large shaking, the other passengers in the car were very quiet. They seemed to have been numbed by the shaking. After a long-distance bus ride, it actually felt like going on an ocean trip.
Lu Sheng opened his eyes, and he realized that the warm and comfortable pillow in the dream turned out to be a person's shoulder, the shoulder of the woman with the fragrance wafting from her body.
Lu Sheng felt a little embarrassed leaning on the woman. He quickly moved away and rubbed the saliva around his mouth with his shoulder.
He wanted to say thank you and apologize to the woman next to him. But when Lu Sheng turned his head and looked at the woman, his body seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and it was nailed there motionless.
Although they hadn't seen each other for nearly twenty years, Lu Sheng immediately recognized the woman in front of him.
He wanted to speak, wanted to call out her name, but his voice was stuck in his throat, and he could not make any sound from his open mouth. His eyes were already wet, and tears were hesitating in his eyes whether he should shed them or not.
The woman also turned her head to look at Lu Sheng, with tears clearly visible on her face. She said nothing, turned her head back, and continued to look at the front of the car. She did this, maybe just because she didn't want to let people around her
This man must have seen her red eyes.
Lu Sheng also turned his head back, looking ahead as well. After a while, he leaned his head over again, leaning on the woman's gentle shoulder, while his eyes moved to the woman's wrist.
It was covered by a large and beautiful bracelet, but Lu Sheng could still see a scar there.
A scar that he knew but had never seen, a scar that witnessed their short-lived love, and a scar that accompanied the hostess through twenty years of life.
………
Just when Wang Lai got on the bus, she saw Lu Sheng sleeping. After discussing with the fat man next to Lu Sheng, she successfully changed seats and sat next to him.
Looking at him sleeping, Wang Lai had never seen Lu Sheng sleeping before. Her tears couldn't stop falling. After Wang Lai sat down, she just stayed with Lu Sheng quietly, unable to bear to scream.
Wake him up.
The bumps of the car caused Lu Sheng's head to rest on Wang Lai's shoulder. She adjusted her sitting position to match the sleeping Lu Sheng, and just kept leaning against him silently.
Lu Sheng is two years older than Wang Lai, but they look like they are of the same age group.
Lu Sheng is haggard and thin, far from the sunny, handsome and high-spirited young man he was in high school; while Wang Lai still looks very young, as if she is around thirty years old. She has not changed much from back then, but she is still a young girl.
Of course, the temperament will fade with the passage of time.
The way they sit there looks to outsiders like a couple who have been married for many years, but they don't look like a good match.
The fields outside the car window are gradually becoming scarcer, and the smell of the city is getting stronger.
There are many hours in a person's life, but Lu Sheng knew that the car was about to arrive in the city of Meizhou. He had missed an important hour in his life by snoozing just now.
Sometimes, the time is short, but it can be unforgettable for a lifetime. Just like that midnight in the senior year of high school, the time we spent together was also short, but it was enough to be unforgettable for a lifetime.
The car drove for another distance, and the two people's moods quickly adjusted. They were now thinking about the same question, how to speak, and what to say? It seemed inappropriate to say anything. If they could stay quiet like this all the time,
It would be great to sit down.
Lu Sheng wanted to ask Wang Lai where he was going, and Wang Lai also wanted to ask Lu Sheng where he was going. The destination of both of them this trip was Meizhou, but what they were thinking about now was that they couldn't let the other party know where they were going.
After asking the question for a while, she (he) said where to go, and I said where to go after a while.
So it was decided. After making up their minds, the two people made sounds almost at the same time.
"Forehead…"
"that…"
When Wang Lai and Lu Sheng heard each other's voices, they both shut up at the same time, waiting for the other's unfinished words.
It was quiet for a while, no one said anything.
"Forehead…"
"that…"
It was the same situation again. Lu Sheng couldn't help but raise his head and look at Wang Lai, and Wang Lai also lowered his head and looked at Lu Sheng. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The memories of their youth came back. Everything was so beautiful.
Same as then.
Lu Sheng hasn't smiled like this in ten years.
Just now he saw Lu Sheng sleeping alone by the window. Wang Lai knew that he must be alone. But Lu Sheng, who had been leaning beside Wang Lai for a long time, realized that she was probably riding alone in the car.
In the end, it was Lu Sheng who asked first, "Are you going back to Meizhou?"
Wang Lai did not answer directly, but responded to Lu Sheng's question with a question, "What about you? Where are you going?"
"I actually..."
At this time, a dog suddenly jumped out from in front of the car. The driver stepped on the brakes suddenly. With the huge inertia, the two bodies suddenly leaned forward. Lu Sheng quickly stretched out his arms and supported Wang Lai.
.
Swear words, complaints, and curses instantly filled the entire carriage. Only Lu Sheng and Wang Lai were not affected by this sudden episode. They leaned closer together at this moment.
"Are you okay now?" Wang Lai was now leaning on Lu Sheng's shoulder.
Lu Sheng did not answer. His current state seemed to have explained everything.
"Have you always been in Meizhou?"
"Well, it's always been there."
"Where are you going? Home?"
"I'm also thinking, where am I going? Meizhou, Huangzhou, it seems I can go back anywhere."
Lu Sheng really didn't know where his home was. After Xiaoqing's death, his home in Huangzhou was just a place for him to sleep and eat. After his father's death, the old house in Meizhou had been put up for sale by Lu Sheng. For various reasons, the house
It has not been sold yet. Everywhere seems to be a home, but nowhere feels like a home.
A home without family members is just an empty house without warmth.
The passengers on the bus got off one after another at a place near them, and now only Wang Lai and Lu Sheng were left.
At the end, Meizhou Passenger Terminal was just ahead, and the short journey for the two of them was about to end.
The car drove into the passenger terminal.
"We've arrived."
The driver was urging the two of them to get out of the car and looked at the middle-aged couple inexplicably.
Lu Sheng and Wang Lai got off the bus one after another, and neither of them spoke. They just walked outside the station.
