Falling in love with you through the clouds

The moment I met that person's eyes, I felt like my heart was about to stop.

"Xiaoning, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

What's the matter with this electric shock feeling all over the body?

"Tao... Sister Tao?"

It's not an illusion... Sister Tao, looking at me with a pleasant smile, is still dressed in the same neat and straightforward way, with her precious camera hanging around her neck.

"How do you..." Know my family?

"Hey! I'll come back soon after I'm done with work." She explained to herself, and when she got up from the sofa, the room suddenly became a little cramped; she came to me, pouted and complained softly, "Never answer the phone Yes?"

I am dumbfounded! "You called me?"

"Yes, two hours ago."

At that time... I was about to go out with Xiaopei... Ah!It's those calls that didn't show incoming calls!I haven't received it for a long time, and now that scams are rampant, it's better not to answer the undisplayed call, so I missed it!

Sister Tao’s complaints sound soft and intimidating, but I think she is very cute in my eyes; she has never shown such an expression to me, her small lips are pouty, and even her cheeks are puffed up!

"Sister! This is the beautiful neighbor you just mentioned?" Xiaopei interjected in time and I noticed that they were still beside me; I smiled embarrassedly and introduced Xiaopei to Sister Tao.

There was still a little time before dinner, so my mother suggested that I take sister Tao for a walk; thanks to the good weather outside today, I was able to capture a lot of sunset scenery.

Perhaps because of the hot weather in Kaohsiung, the clothes on her body have also become light, only a silk scarf is still around the neck for decoration; the water blue silk scarf makes people look comfortable.

Like the way she makes people feel.

"How do you know where my family lives?" I guess she called at first to ask for the address.

Could it be that Tao Yi'an told her?

She put her index finger to her lips, "I'll call back and ask my aunt." That doctor?Why would she know... "You filled out your personal information at the first visit! I made this decision because I couldn't get in touch with you. Don't sue her for divulging the patient's privacy!"

The truth came out!There is still this trick, thanks to her wanting it!

"It's not that you came back on Tuesday, you were two days early." I asked tentatively, while she grabbed the camera and took pictures when she saw something worth recording.

It seems to be the second time I saw her raise the camera and press the shutter; the first time was the first time I met her at the gate of the apartment.

"Because someone is sad!" She looked at the sky and said with a hint of teasing.

My heart seemed to be pinched by someone and then let go, I raised my nose and snorted coldly, "Who, who is sad?"

She didn't answer, but the series of laughter made people's heart itch.

"Okay! To be honest, I thought it was normal to be away for a week, but after I left, I realized that something was missing, so I shortened the itinerary a little bit; I spent a lot of money to change the ticket."

"What's missing?" I looked back at her suspiciously.

Her clean eyes stared straight at me, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was like the winter breeze in Kaohsiung. "Yeah... something is missing."

I was slightly taken aback, but she pressed the shutter a few more times before I had time to ask questions - facing the bird's nest under the neighbor's eaves.

No matter what, if Sister Tao, who comes and goes like the wind, can come to the south to find me, it should mean that she still cares about me, right?

After stepping out, she heard her ask after a while: "How does it feel to go home?"

"What about it? That's it!"

"How do you feel, and I went back to the room to put the suitcase before I came down, and I didn't see your pillow."

I stopped to let Sister Tao pass me. She glanced at the small potted plant planted by the neighbor's house, "It's a marigold." She bent down and took a picture of the plant.

She got up, and the corners of my eyes were slightly wet. Before she turned her head to meet me, I approached her, and got close to her before she turned around completely.

I choked up, inhaled the cool air, and also inhaled her body fragrance; I leaned my forehead on her broad back, and acted like a child to her.

My answer was a sigh of pity. "Xiaoning..."

"The room without you is even more terrifying when it's quiet; I went back to sleep in my own place, and even asked my friend to come over and stay with me for two days, and when I got home, I shared a room with my sister."

She turned around and stroked the back of my head with one hand. Her movements were very gentle, as if she was touching something she cherished very much.

"I hate being alone, I hate loneliness, I hate a room alone, I hate the coldness of sleeping alone!" I raised my head, and her beautiful face was blurred in my sight. "That would... that would make me think of that person... and the past with him, I don't want that! But I can't control myself...

"I hate being so vulnerable...and for me to hide this vulnerability...only you! I miss your company."

She listened silently, and finally bowed her head and murmured a word, which I couldn't hear clearly, and she took me into her arms with one hand.

She didn't speak anymore, I leaned on her shoulder, wiped away my tears, and somehow realized that I was ashamed to be like this!How old are you... still crying on the street; I wanted to break free from her and move on, but she hooked my hand.

She tugged and let me go back to her.

Then, whispered to me—"You who are afraid of being alone, do you have the heart to leave your guests and get lost alone?"

She looked at me with a smile, and I forgot to cry. After moistening my lips, I followed her into a smile.

So we stood shoulder to shoulder, crossed our fingers, and walked slowly towards the vicinity of the high school I used to attend.

"That's it! This is my alma mater."

It was getting late, and she stopped taking pictures along the way, and tied me with one hand, and put the other hand in her pocket recklessly.She always wears jeans, even though she looks good, but I always fantasize about how she looks in dresses; she used to shoot wedding dresses, so she must have seen many, many beautiful dresses.I wonder if she has ever imagined herself in a dress?

I pointed to the school gate, and she took a few symbolic photos before swaying to the other side of the road; this side is the Riverside Park, and people riding bicycles wandering by the river can be seen everywhere, and bicycles are gradually seen in the north , but it may be due to the crowded population. Cycling in the north represents "busyness", but Kaohsiung is full of leisure.

We sat down on the yellow riverside grass and watched the lights of the tall buildings light up one by one.

There is a sense of tranquility that is isolated from the world.

"Actually," she finally said slowly, "you just said that, which made me very sad."

"what……"

"It feels like I left you behind, because I didn't care about your feelings; I knew that your injury was not completely healed, but I left without saying a word, leaving you alone to face the psychological pressure."

Her tone seemed remorseful, I bowed my head, and said guiltily, "I...it's my own fault, it's because I depend too much on you."

She shook her head, the smile on the corner of her mouth was astringent, "You said, whenever you are alone, do you still think about what you did with him before?"

I smiled miserably, "Yes! Even though he treats me so badly and ruthlessly... He was not like this before, until the beginning of this semester, he was just a passionate guitarist who simply chased his dreams; I once said to others However, he is very important, he is my sunshine, air and water, I can't do without him..."

I picked up a small stone at random, and I threw it far away, "It turned out to be like playing against me. Not only did he leave, but he also left in the most cruel and embarrassing way, completely withdrawn from my life. .”

In the evening, the wind blowing by the river was a bit cold, I shrugged my shoulders and shivered... Then, a warm arm immediately wrapped around me.

I felt a bit of astonishment at first, but then approached her with joy.

"Look, you don't have him, but you still live a good life... No one can accompany another person to die." She put her arms around me and told the difficult and difficult truth of life. "Xiaoning, you have to learn, learn one thing."

"what?"

"Learn to live alone." Her eyes were extremely bright, "You should live for yourself."

live for yourself?

What does this mean?Does this mean she is leaving me? "But... I won't, I don't know..."

"I'll teach you." Her gentle voice comforted me at the right time. "Although you rely on me now, I will teach you this truth slowly... I will use my way to tell you what it is to live for yourself...

"Finding a passion in life. That's one of the reasons I decided to leave home in the first place."

Live for yourself...find your passion in life.

Her words reminded me that I hadn't had a chance to ask her why she left home, abandoned her family career, and became that "irresponsible" person that Tao Yi'an said.

However, from what she said, I seem to have seen part of the answer.

She took a deep breath and said word by word: "So, I decided to take you on a trip."

My heart trembled slightly, and the moment I understood what she meant, I was so happy that I couldn't help myself! "You said it! You want to take me on a trip, you can't leave me behind!"

She squinted her eyes, "Well, I said so."

I laughed, until I came back to realize that I was holding her hand tightly, she was holding me, and I was almost on top of her - realizing how ambiguous our posture was, I quickly pulled away A little distance away, the wind is obviously a bit cold, but my face is so hot!

It was the mobile phone that saved me——Xiaopei called to inform that dinner was ready and told us to go back quickly.

I got up and pulled her up, she grabbed me, stood up but bent down at the same time, surrounded me with her body fragrance. "By the way, I have a special gift for you."

She whispered in my ear, scratching my ears warm.

"Gift?"

"I bought it in Sri Lanka, which is rich in gemstones, so I picked a jewelry that I think is suitable for you." She took out a delicate box from her pocket and carefully handed it to me. "Although it is not very expensive, I think it is very suitable for you; give it to you."

Her "not very precious" always feels unreliable to me... I pouted, delighted at her concern; not only did she come to the south immediately to find me, she even brought a gift for me... "I opened it? "

"Well, open it and have a look?"

Just by the street lamp, I opened the box, and it was a round gem about the size of my thumb, purple in color! "It's so beautiful! What kind of gemstone is this...?"

There was joy in her eyes, "It's crystal, a natural amethyst." She picked it up and let me see that it was a crystal necklace. "I put it on for you?"

"Ah."

Except for the pendant which is crystal, the rest of the chain looks like it is made of silver. I accept it and realize its value. "Sister Tao..."

"It's beautiful." She gently played with my hair and said with a smile, "Go home? Have dinner!"

Her smile was so charming, and my heart felt a little throbbing unconsciously.

I am dull, and I still don't understand where this throbbing comes from.

But sooner or later she will let me understand.
