Chapter 3 Time knows nothing about wind and rain 05
The taxi drove all the way to the station without any obstruction.
Ning Qiyuan has been looking out the window without saying a word since he got on the car. He was so silent that it seemed as if he didn't exist. It was at this moment that I felt that he had changed a little, becoming more stable than before. However, even if he accompanied me back, there was no way for me to calm down.
The person who called me was a colleague of my father. He didn't tell me much, just told me that my father was pushed off the rooftop while on a mission, and was severely injured. His internal organs were severely damaged and his condition was very critical, so he asked me to go back quickly.
My dad is a policeman. The nature of his job means that he can't live a peaceful life like ordinary people. I have always been proud of my dad, but I am also worried about him because I don't know if he will get into trouble one day while on a mission and leave me. The only time I remember feeling scared was two years ago when Ning Qiyuan and my dad got into trouble together. Today, I have the same feeling again, even stronger.
I lowered my head, tightly grasped the phone, and tried my best to stop my body from shaking so violently. I really wished I could go to my dad right away, because I realized that my dad might be seriously injured this time.
"Ning Qiyuan..." I called him with a trembling voice.
Ning Qiyuan turned around and looked at me, his eyes calm.
"Do you think my dad will be okay?" I asked him.
Ning Qiyuan was silent for a long time before answering me: " I didn't die two years ago, and I won't die this time either."
He always speaks so directly and in a way that is unacceptable, but when I hear him speak, I inexplicably feel a sense of comfort.
Soon, the taxi arrived at the train station.
Ning Qiyuan and I got off the bus and ran straight to the ticket office. There weren't many passengers buying tickets at this time, so there was no need to queue. I asked the ticket seller for two tickets for the nearest train. When I was about to pay, Ning Qiyuan handed me two hundred yuan bills. I looked at his calm and resolute chin, and my nose suddenly felt sour.
There were still more than 20 minutes before boarding, and Ning Qiyuan and I sat in the waiting room waiting. For me, the waiting time was the most tormenting. I vaguely felt a chill in the air spreading from the soles of my feet to my heart, and it was unbearably cold.
Suddenly, the chair moved. Ning Qiyuan got up and left. Without even thinking, I blurted out, "Where are you going?" I was afraid that he would suddenly change his mind and not go back with me.
"Buy something." Ning Qiyuan didn't look back and walked straight into the convenience store at the station.
I kept staring at his figure until he came out of the convenience store and walked towards me, then I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I watched him from afar. Under the bright lights in the waiting room, Ning Qiyuan's figure was tall and straight, with an indescribable heroic spirit. I always thought he was good-looking, but this was the first time I felt my heartbeat was strange.
He walked over to me and sat down again, handed me a cup of instant milk tea, and said, "It's the flavor you like."
When I saw it, I was stunned.
Matcha flavor.
The temperature of the milk tea gradually warmed my palm through the paper cup. When I was about to ask him how he knew my favorite flavor, he stood up again, said "the bus is coming", and walked towards the entrance. I hurriedly followed him.
Not long after getting on the bus, someone called Ning Qiyuan, probably asking him where he was. Ning Qiyuan just said that he had something to do and would be away for two days and would be back soon, then hung up the phone.
"Is it...your family?" I couldn't help but ask the questions that I had been hiding in my heart.
"This is none of your business." Ning Qiyuan glanced at me and said, "If you are tired, you can take a nap."
He didn't want to answer my question and I didn't press it any further. I just leaned back in my seat tiredly, worried about my dad's condition. Even with my eyes closed, I couldn't really fall asleep.
In a daze, I felt myself surrounded by a warm feeling, and someone patted me gently, just like when I couldn't sleep when I was a child, my father patted my back to coax me to sleep early. I fell into a deep sleep and had a dream. I dreamed that I rushed back and found that my father was only slightly injured and ran to the station to pick me up. I ran to him happily, intending to tell him that Ning Qiyuan came back with me, but at this moment, the ground under my father's feet suddenly cracked, and I immediately ran to him desperately, trying to hold him, but in the end I watched him fall in front of me.
"Dad!" I screamed in fear and woke up from my dream. Cold sweat broke out all over my body. When I saw Ning Qiyuan's face clearly, I said in panic, "I dreamed of my dad, I dreamed of my dad..."
"A dream scared you like this, Tong Shuchen, when did you become so timid?" Ning Qiyuan's voice came clearly.
"I'm not a coward. I'm just afraid that my dad will leave me and that I'll be the only one left in the world."
