She sniffed, wiped away her tears, and fell asleep again in a hazy way, until she felt a wave of shaking in her sleep, and then she opened her eyes in a daze, and the first thing she saw was a slender hand holding her quilt, her nails were bright peony red, and the bright red made her rub her dry eyes uncomfortably, and half-squinted at the woman sitting on the edge of the bed."
Mom," she shouted in a hoarse voice, trying to sit up, but she felt dizzy in front of her."
Lie down and don't move."
A pair of hands pressed her down again.Ling Xiquan lay down obediently, "Mom, when did you come back?"
"Just came back." ”Ling's mother held her hair in a high bun, looking like she was in her early twenties, but her cold temperament was undoubtedly revealed, "You didn't reply to the message I sent you last night, and I didn't answer your phone, but I was in a hurry, no, I ordered the earliest flight back." ”Ling's mother's hand brushed the emanation in front of her forehead, her tone was faintly accusatory, but there was a trace of kindness in her eyes, perhaps because she was used to keeping a straight face, and this kind of kindness was so faint that she couldn't see it clearly."
Mom, I seem to have a fever."
She felt sick all over her body, and her eyes were swollen and painful."
Come, open your mouth, take your temperature first."
Ling's mother took out a thermometer from the bedside table, detoxified it, motioned for her to open her mouth, and said, "It's only seven o'clock now, it's still early, take your temperature in a while, and you can sleep after taking the medicine."
I've already called the school to ask for leave. ”Ling Xiquan nodded with a thermometer in his mouth.After taking the medicine, her consciousness began to blur again, her eyelids were like lead, and she fell into a dream-like drowsiness again, as if she was in an ice cellar, as if she was deep in magma, and then her body fell suddenly, and her consciousness was awake for a moment, and then she fell into a deeper dream.I slept into the night, and when I opened my eyes, my stomach was empty, but my body was finally not so uncomfortable.She stretched out and walked out of the room, where the lights were on in the living room and the sound of the TV was heard.She probed and saw Father Ling sitting on the sofa and Mother Ling cutting apples on the side.It's normal for her parents to be at home, but for Ling Xiquan, except for the few days of the Chinese New Year every year, she almost never sees them at home at the same time, not to mention that even if the two of them go home, they will leave after a while, and they are clearly saying in pajamas at this time that they will stay at home tonight.There is a little joy, but more than that, it is strange.She scratched her head, "Dad, Mom" Father Ling saw that she was awake, and stood up in surprise and beckoned to her, "Baby is awake, come on, come on, sit next to Dad." ”Ling Mu elegantly put down the fruit knife in her hand, glanced at her, and asked slowly, "Ling Xiquan, how did I teach you since I was a child" "Ah" Ling Xiquan's brain was still in a vacuum, and he didn't react for a while."
What did you just do" Ling Mu said with a straight face, "Even at home, every move must be decent, and once you get used to it, you won't do anything out of the ordinary outside."
I ask you, does such a thing as scratching your head meet the standard of a lady's behavior?"
Ling Xiquan secretly scolded himself, and apologized obediently on his face, "Mom, I was wrong. ”Seeing her daughter's well-behaved appearance, her tone softened a little, "Sit down." ”Father Ling helped Ling Xiquan sit down and complained in a low voice, "Xiao Hibiscus, the baby is still sick, don't be so strict as soon as you come back." ”"I've also been managed like this since I was a child, why don't you go to your mother-in-law to help me talk" Ling's mother glanced at him lightly."
I knew you, aren't you already like this."
Father Ling protested in a low voice, closed his mouth in disgust at his wife's smiling eyes, and patted Ling Xiquan who was sitting beside him lovingly and said, "You sit for a while, Dad will cook porridge for you and bring it hot for you." ”Ling Xiquan responded, and saw that Ling Mu put the cut fruit plate in front of her, and just wanted to take a piece, the plate in front of her was pushed a little farther away, and she looked up puzzled, Ling Mu bowed her head and said, "Eat after drinking the porridge, now, I want to ask you a few questions." ”"Mom, you ask.""
Are you about to take the unified examination?"
she thought for a moment and nodded, "The unified examination will be held next week." ”"I've been under a lot of pressure to study lately," and she's been deserting lately.She hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "Not much." ”"That's good, how can you have a fever" Ling's mother looked at her daughter's slightly haggard face, and said earnestly, "Xiaoxi, my mother told you a long time ago, learning this kind of thing, if you can learn it well, then it's best, if you don't learn well, it's enough to work hard."
After all, when you graduate, we are ready to send you to your aunt's place to study. ”"Auntie" Ling Xiquan was slightly startled, and a beautiful and kind face vaguely appeared in his mind."
Well, we're going to send you to the United States."
Ling Mu nodded, looked at her surprised look, and said, "However, this is just our idea, if you don't want to go, we also respect your idea."
Of course, your dad and I will explain this to you in detail in a while.Now my mother just hopes that you don't have too much pressure to study and break down your body again. ”"Baby, the porridge is here."
At this time, Father Ling walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge.And that's where the conversation stops.After drinking porridge, eating fruit, and resting for a while, Ling's mother gave her medicine and urged her to go to bed.The room was silent, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows with the curtains open, soft light poured in, faintly lighting up half of black and white.From morning to night, although he took medicine, Ling Xiquan was still sleepy.She simply propped up her elbows and tilted her head to look at the locker diagonally opposite.Inside, the lock wasn't a box of chocolates, not a box of lollipops, not a bear.It's a short-lived dream.The dream was shattered before it even began.In her dreams, she had her most perfect ideal of love.That boy has the most beautiful eyes in the world, and he also has the most dull heart.The way he lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly is the most addictive drug in the world.His cold and detached appearance is a distant labyrinth in this world.He laughed, and the sun and moon lost their light.He stood there, and the years were still.He is quicksand, rain, and snow.It is the beauty and absurdity that cannot be spared.It was her dream.Carefully cared for, but after all, shattered dreams.Her vision slowly blurred again, and she lowered her arms and lay down on the bed, closing her eyes tightly.Suddenly, I remembered what Ling Mu said.Going to the United States after graduation The country that was completely foreign to her sounded as far away as the United Kingdom.She thought of Ye Qingting, as well as herself.One east and one west, just the opposite.A feeling of destiny came unexpectedly, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes without warning, and then slowly stopped.It turned out that it was time to wake up from her dream
