Chapter 4: Fire in the Rain 3
It was unknown how long it had been before Yige stood up. He looked pale and haggard, like grass rustling in the wind, and he walked forward tremblingly.
Sister Qiu looked at her, feeling distressed and not knowing what to say. She followed her into her room and handed her the cold medicine again: "You just got caught in such a heavy rain. You should take some medicine to prevent a cold."
Yige sat on her bed, shaking her head gently, her breathing slightly rapid.
Sister Qiu touched her forehead anxiously and was immediately shocked: "Miss, you have a fever!"
Yi Ge’s forehead was burning hot like a ball of fire.
Sister Qiu helped Yi Ge up and coaxed her, "Miss, you are the best. Drink this potion. It is not bitter at all. I bought it specially for you. Try it, it is sweet." In Sister Qiu's eyes, Yi Ge will always be a child who has never grown up.
Yi Ge seemed to be in a dream, confused and silent. He just opened his mouth and drank the potion sip by sip. It tasted like orange juice with a soft medicinal fragrance.
Sister Qiu looked at the empty glass with satisfaction, gently stroked Yi Ge's hair, and said, "Miss, go to bed early. Sleep and sweat. Maybe you will feel better tomorrow."
As she spoke, she gently tucked the blanket into Yige's arms, then closed the door and went out.
Sister Qiu simply thought that the fever was caused by being caught in the rain, but she didn't know that the pain in Yi Ge's heart was a thousand times greater than the trauma caused by being caught in the rain.
She lay in bed in a daze, not knowing how much time had passed.
"It's strange, he remembered everything but you."
"He chose to forget, to forget you completely, and free himself from the pain."
"Do you want Xi Nan to still remember you? Remember the most painful memories he wants to forget?"
…
These words seemed to surround Yi Ge like a spell, lingering. She suddenly sat up with her knees hugged, buried her head deeply in her arms, and said loudly: "No!"
The word "no" seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She collapsed on the bed again, staring blankly at the ceiling , and said softly: "Xinan, Xinan, do you really hate me so much... Am I really so hateful?"
His eyes turned unconsciously and he saw his light blue cell phone placed next to the small orange desk lamp, and he couldn't help but pick it up.
She hadn't used the phone since that incident, but she charged it every few days and kept it by her bed.
This mobile phone contains the sweetest secret that was once kept. Later, although this secret became sour, she still kept it there.
I haven't seen this phone for half a year. It has a sunflower-like shape, a light blue body like the sky, and a streamlined and compact shape. It used to be Yige's favorite.
Her hand gently stroked the phone, she gritted her teeth, and turned it on.
The slender fingers pressed the keys slowly but skillfully...
“Crack!”
A very familiar photo came into view.
It’s her smile, as happy as a chocolate cake covered with cream, fragrant and sweet.
Next to him was the face of a boy that smelled of grass . His face reminded people of flawless, smooth jade and the statues of handsome men in ancient Greece.
The two people's faces were very close, their heads touching each other, and their smiles had a similar arc.
Behind them is lush green, setting off the youthful faces of the two people.
A distant voice echoed in her ears...
On the Green Island, her light blue skirt fluttered like a butterfly.
"Come quickly, Xinan, it's so beautiful here!" She shouted loudly, holding a stream of icy spring water on the Green Island and giggling.
After the spring water was scooped up, it was sprinkled back into the mountain spring through her fingers, shining like stars. She was so excited that she took off her shoes and stepped into the spring water, and the coolness penetrated her heart.
She seemed to have discovered something and shouted to Xi Nan: "Xi Nan, look, the water here is also green. It's a very beautiful green."
Xinan came over and said with a smile: "There are so many plants here that the water looks green." He looked at the exquisite green and couldn't help but admire it. It was indeed a beautiful green.
Xinan looked at her with a smile, then looked at the clear lake water surrounding the green island and the blue sky that seemed to have been washed by water.
Yes, it's beautiful here .
It was so beautiful that it had no trace of worldly affairs, like a green crystal, pure and clear. She suddenly had the idea of teasing him, so she scooped up a handful of water, quietly walked behind him , and wanted to pour the water on his head.
But before she could get close, her feet suddenly slipped.
"oops--"
She screamed. Hee-nan turned around very quickly, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back with force!
Because of the pulling force, she couldn't help but throw herself into Xinan's arms, and the faint but fragrant scent of grass immediately filled her surroundings.
She was still in shock and felt like she was in a warm embrace. She looked up in a daze and saw a pair of smiling eyes.
Unable to resist being shy, she pushed him away, stood up straight, and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Xinan smiled quietly and said, "Just now I saw the shadow of a little fox moving on the ground, and I knew the little fox had bad intentions again, so I waited quietly, but I didn't expect the little fox to fall down. Of course, I couldn't just watch this naughty little fox fall down." His voice was as pleasant as the sound of lake water hitting the shore.
Yi Ge's face turned red. It was so embarrassing. Every time she teased Xi Nan, he would find out. Xi Nan was too smart.
I couldn't help but lower my head, but my heart was filled with sweetness.
Xi Nan looked at her bare feet stepping on the grass roots, and said with some heartache: "The grass roots are too hard, Yige, go put on your shoes. Don't play in the water, there is a lot of moss next to the spring, it's easy to slip. We just played for so long and had a lot of fun."
"No."
Yige pouted somewhat unwillingly.
But she knew that Xi Nan was right, so she went back and changed her shoes obediently.
The shoes and bag were placed together. While she was putting on her shoes, something suddenly occurred to her and she quickly took out her cell phone from her bag.
With such a beautiful view and such a good feeling, it would be a shame if the two of them didn't take a photo together. Fortunately, the pixel of the phone was not bad, and the effect of the photo was very satisfactory. She smiled and ran towards Xi Nan, holding up the phone and said: "Xi Nan, let's take a photo together."
Without waiting for his response, she leaned her head on his shoulder and pointed the phone at the two of them: "Xinan, come on, cheers!"
Xi Nan smiled slightly.
He was used to Yige's sudden and whimsical attacks.
After taking the photos, Yige hurried to look at them and did not speak for a long time.
"What's the matter?"
Xinan asked worriedly, afraid that the photo wouldn't look good and Yige would be unhappy.
Yige slowly raised her head: "The photo was taken——"
Xi Nan became more and more nervous: "What? Is it not good? Then let's take another one?"
Yi Ge's long eyelashes flickered: "This is a great photo--" she said and ran out, grabbing the phone and shouting, "This is the most satisfying photo I've ever taken! I love it so much!" Xinan was stunned for a moment, looked at her lively figure, smiled and shook his head.
He liked the way she was so happy, carefree and full of life.
Yige held the phone to her chest, took a deep breath of the air which was as clear and fragrant as a mountain spring, stood on the grass, looked at Xinan from afar, and just smiled slightly.
She likes to see Xi Nan getting nervous for her, so she always likes to tease him and make fun of him...
