Chapter 47 Chapter 2 Never Cried (2)

Ma Tong stood up and wanted to leave, but Marty didn't leave him. "By the way, Ma Tong, I never knew what department you studied in college?" "You forgot, I didn't go to university." Ma Tong looked at her with a smile, "I graduated from a junior college, and I was admitted to the Institute of Philosophy with the same level of education." Ma Tong had been gone for a long time, but Ma Di was still sitting there, and Xiao Ye didn't bother her.Marty has been thinking about Ma Tong's conversation with her: fighting back the distortion of her growth.How come I never thought of it this way?Marty once attributed all her unhappiness to the dull pressure of the world, but she forgot to look back, how much did her growing experience distort her vision?She always feels that she is not free, but is it the society that restrains her, or her own character with scars?

Marty drank the coffee in one gulp, walked back to the bar with the cup in hand, and saw Xiaoye and Jill sitting at Hai'an's table.In front of them, there was a dignified woman, about fifty or sixty years old, Xiaoye was talking to this woman very politely, seeing Marty coming, Xiaoye quickly waved for Marty. "Aunt Ke, let me introduce you. This is Marty, who is also our good friend. Marty, this is Brother Ke's mother." Aunt Ke looked at Marty from head to toe with a smile. Marty hurriedly bowed to say hello and sat down to join them. "Aunt Ke, it's not a good time for you to come, Hai'an just left the country." Marty said.

"I just heard about it. What a coincidence, the kid Hai'an gave me a big book list. I brought him four boxes of books when I returned to China, but he went abroad. I really didn't have the chance to meet. " Aunt Ke is wearing a noble bun, although she is no longer young, but there is a neat and delicate look between her eyebrows and eyes, which is not the same as Hai'an.Jier stopped what she was doing to drink coffee with Aunt Ke, when the little leopard came running and jumped into Jier's arms. "So you are Ji'er?" Aunt Ke asked, "Haian mentioned you to me, saying that you are a very smart girl, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."

Jill quickly thanked her.Aunt Ke praised Xiaoye again, Xiaoye lowered her head and blushed. "You are all good colleagues of Hai'an." Aunt Ke said, "The child of Hai'an has been independent since he was a child, and he rarely lives with his parents. He relies on his friends to take care of him." Xiaoye and Jier said in unison: "No." "Brother Ke has always taken care of us." Xiaoye said, "You said Brother Ke seldom lives with you?" "Haian, I just like Taiwan. When he was young, I gave lectures in Taiwan until my father and I decided to live in the United States, but he wanted to stay and take the entrance exam. Of course he continued to study. We moved to Long Island a few years ago. His father No matter what you say, you want him to go there, but Hai’an said that he will go to work when he finds a job. When did you hear that he is going to work? To put it bluntly, don’t you want to leave? Alas, this homeless child.”

Marty thought, Aunt Ke lived in the United States for many years, but she said Hai'an was wandering. "The child is independent, so it's better to give him some freedom." Aunt Ke said, "I can see it too. I just don't have the fate to get together with my two sons." "You mean, Brother Ke has other brothers?" Xiaoye asked.She and Marty stared at each other, and everyone always thought Hai An was an only child. "Perhaps even Hai'an doesn't have the impression." Aunt Ke took a sip of coffee and licked her lips with a handkerchief."His brother's name is Haining," she said.

Everyone was surprised.Aunt Ke propped her chin with her hand, quietly recalling the long past. "When I was pregnant, I was studying in Virginia. We lived in a dormitory, right on the edge of a big lake, the beautiful Spiller Lake. Whenever I opened the window, I saw Spiller shining in the sun. Lake, I thought, Tranquil Sea, it’s really Tranquil Sea, so I named the twins Haining and Hai’an.” Aunt Ke smiled, “The two babies are in my womb with their arms intertwined, even the umbilical cord is tight. The knot was tied, so they had to be born by caesarean section, and the two fell to the ground almost at the same time. Hai Ning, who cried first, should be the elder brother. Hai An, has never cried before.

"Hai'an is so obedient and never cries. These twins are very cute. At that time, the doctors and nurses in the hospital would specially find time to visit them in the nursery. The people in the hospital nicknamed them, saying they came from heaven. Gemini. They are a pair of beautiful children, they look exactly alike, and they especially like to lie face to face, staring at each other blankly, as if they are looking in a mirror, they are really cute." Aunt Ke's expression was so happy, she closed her eyes, only to see her eyelashes swaying slightly. "Then where is Brother Haining?" Xiaoye asked.

"Dead." Aunt Ke opened her eyes and looked at Xiaoye very gently, "Haining only lived for six months, and died quietly in a dream. There is only one twin star left. Someone told me that if one of the twins dies, the other will not live alone. Fortunately, Hai'an is healthy and survived. It's just pity for him. The companion who has been tied since I was in the womb has only been with him for such a short time. time..." "Haian, he must be very lonely." Marty said softly. Jill didn't speak. From the beginning to the end, she lowered her head and stroked the little leopard.Under the touch, the little leopard purred and fell asleep.
