Chapter 46 26

On a drizzle day, Wang Xiaosong held an umbrella and came to the corner of Hao Mei's house. He looked at the gate of Hao Mei's house, but no one came out of the compound. Wang Xiaosong's feet were almost submerged by a stream of rainwater.He said silently in his heart: "Hao Mei, don't you really want to see me that much? I don't believe it, I don't believe it..." He made up his mind and walked into the street.He hesitated for a moment outside the gate of Hao Mei's house, and finally walked in. He stood at the door of Hao Mei's house, staring blankly at the lock. He put away his umbrella, walked to the window, and looked into the house from the window. The water from the eaves was dripping on his head and shoulders... the first thing he saw was hanging in front of him. Yellow coats and yellow padded jackets on the wall.Yunyun was playing "play house" on the bed alone - she covered an old doll with a small handkerchief, and murmured: "Daughter, my legs are not good, don't get out of bed, huh? It's fun to be alone at home Son, wait patiently for mom to come back, mom has to learn fashion design. When mom gets the certificate, maybe mom will have a job to do..."

She felt something and looked up to the window.Wang Xiaosong's figure frightened her, she picked up the little doll and shrank to the corner of the bed. When she saw Wang Xiaosong's face outside the window full of love and affection, Yunyun was not so afraid. She put down the doll, climbed out of the bed, walked to the window with the help of the wall, climbed onto the chair, and opened the ventilation window. Yunyun said to Wang Xiaosong, "I'm not afraid of you." Wang Xiaosong said: "Uncle is not a bad person." Yunyun said, "I know who you are."

"No, you wouldn't know..." "I know...your clothes are all wet...but the door is locked and I can't invite you in..." Wang Xiaosong's hand reached in through the small window, stroking Yunyun's face.Yunyun didn't flinch and let him touch her. Wang Xiaosong said: "I know your name, your name is Yunyun." Hao Mei entered the courtyard wearing a raincoat. Seeing this, she immediately flashed behind a small coal shed. A hand clapped Wang Xiaosong's shoulder.When Wang Xiaosong turned around, it was Lao Pan.He was holding an umbrella and wearing overalls, obviously just came back from outside, he asked Wang Xiaosong:

"what are you doing?" Wang Xiaosong said embarrassingly: "I... I am Hao Mei's comrade-in-arms back then..." "Didn't you see the door was locked?" "Saw." "Is there anything I can say to her?" "This...no...no..." Lao Pan turned to Yunyun and said, "Don't stand here, be careful not to fall. Get down quickly and go back to the bed." Lao Pan said to Wang Xiaosong again: "If you really want to see her mother, you'd better come at night." Wang Xiaosong held up his umbrella and left. Hao Mei looked at his back...

Wang Xiaosong was going back to Beijing, and his younger siblings saw him off at the train station.Behind a pillar, half of Hao Mei's face was exposed. She looked at Wang Xiaosong who was leaning out from the car window and talking to her younger siblings. The train left and disappeared from Hao Mei's field of vision.She said to herself in her heart: "Xiao Song, Hao Mei is indeed dead. Forget about her! We all have to learn to forget many things. I have nothing to say about our past..."
