Xia You Arbor: Looking to Heaven

Chapter 141 So I Was Really Lonely For Too Long (1)
(One)

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when we arrived in the neighboring city alone. After handing over the things to Mrs. Liu's daughter, I boarded the train back to Chicago without stopping. This was the most time-saving and cost-effective method she devised. .

There were quite a lot of people on the train, and the air conditioner was fully turned on. She took off her coat and held it in her hand, and found the seat according to the seat number. There were two young black men sitting next to the seat, and they only took the tickets in their hands, calmly She jumped over her seat and sat on an empty seat, but after a while, a couple came up and showed her the ticket, Shan Shan stood up, looked around the carriage, and found that there was no single vacant seat.

After hesitating for a moment, she walked past the two blacks and sat down in her seat. As soon as she sat down, the black man next to her started talking to her, asking her where she was going and why she was alone.He just pretended to be ignorant, and said in "jerky" English that he just came to the United States, so he didn't understand English very well.

The black man laughed and gave her thumbs up, and praised her for being beautiful in simple English.

Shan Dan smiled and said thank you, then put on the earphones of his mobile phone and pretended to listen to the music. The man next to him said to the man next to him in a series of American English: "Hey, man, I haven't seen such a beautiful Chinese loli for a long time. Look at her black The eyes are really beautiful, like overripe grapes, I really want to lick them."

Another man said: "Yeah, it's exciting."

Just turn up the music on the phone and pretend she didn't hear anything. She is used to it. There are always some foreigners who are particularly interested in Chinese girls. They like those girls' black eyes and black hair. , with disgusting desires, is very unpleasant.

When the train arrived at two o'clock in the morning, the black man next door didn't know whether he was really asleep or pretended to be asleep. He tilted his head, leaned on Shan Shan's shoulder, opened his eyes alone, and avoided it in disgust. Push him over, and after a while, he leaned over again, just pushed him away, stood up, walked across the aisle, walked to the junction of the two cars, squatted there, and lit the car with the weak light of the mobile phone. All around, she flicked through the mobile phone numbers boredly, trying to find someone to chat with, but she couldn't find a friend who could be woken up by her in the middle of the night and chat with her.

Shan Shan sighed, buried his head in his arms, after a while, raised his head again, looked at the phone, and dialed the home number again.

The phone rang several times, and just when she thought no one would pick it up, a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, saying in her mother tongue: "Hello? Who are you looking for?"

Shan Shan opened her eyes wide, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, she squatted helplessly in a dark corner and called him. She thought she couldn't get through, and thought that no one would come to rescue her, but the phone got through. , The man who answered the phone had the same deep voice as him, with a bit of getting up.

Shan Shan didn't know why, but couldn't help laughing, and she called softly, "Brother Xiaotian, it's me."

Tang Xiaotian's voice on the other end of the phone became sober, with a trace of worry: "Where have you been, and you haven't come back so late?"

"I went to run errands for someone. Hehe, earn some extra money." Shan Shan smiled cutely: "I paid the electricity and gas bills today, is the house warm?"

Tang Xiaotian's voice was very soft: "Well, it's very warm, thank you."

"Thank you, I want to use it too." Shan Shan didn't know why, but just said such simple words, she felt very happy, she was very happy, at such a late night, someone was willing to talk to her.

Tang Xiaotian asked on the other end of the phone, "When are you coming back?"

"I arrived at five o'clock in the morning." Shan Shan replied truthfully: "After arriving, I will stay at the train station for more than half an hour, waiting for the morning bus at six o'clock in the morning, and then go directly to school."

Tang Xiaotian persuaded: "Don't wait for the bus, take a taxi."

"No, the taxi in the early morning is the most expensive. I can save 26 dollars by waiting for half an hour." She calculated that 26 dollars is enough for her to eat for three days. It's time to go.

Tang Xiaotian stopped talking on the other end of the phone, and stood up while holding the mobile phone. She squatted for too long, her feet were a little numb, half leaning on the car, looking at the scenery outside the train, and asked softly: "Brother Xiaotian , why did you go today, I didn't see you when I went home, and you didn't answer the phone at night."

"There's no electricity at home, I'll go out and get something to eat."

Shan Shan pouted in disbelief: "It takes so long to get something to eat?"

Tang Xiaotian said innocently: "Oh, then I got lost."

Shan Shan said with a funny face: "What! Hahaha, you are lost."

"Well, when I met the police, I hid and ran away."

Shan Shan asked curiously: "Then how did you get it back?"

Tang Xiaotian replied: "Let's go by feeling."

"You feel so good."

"Yes."

"Actually, I'm also a road idiot." Shan Shan honestly confessed: "Where I go, I can't recognize the way after walking more than five times."

Just holding the phone, as if he had endless things to say, he kept talking and talking, and Tang Xiaotian on the other end of the phone listened with a good temper, as if he was not sleepy at all, just when he didn't pay attention, the phone After a while of shutdown music, it completely turned off.

"Ah..." I just looked at the phone, pressed it hard, and held it in the palm of my hand with some reluctance. Because the phone was used for a long time, it was a little hot, and it was so warm in my hand, as if my heart was warmed up Same.

Shan Shan stood outside for a while before returning to his seat. The black man on the seat had already fallen asleep. Fortunately, there were still some places to sit. Shan Shan sat in, holding his mobile phone in his hand, and feeling the pain forcefully. The remaining warmth gradually dissipated.

(two)

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the train stopped at Chicago Station on time. She stood up from her seat after a sleepless night and followed the queue to get off. The two black men sitting in the same row as her also packed their luggage and lined up behind her. , the team moved down slowly, and when they reached the door, the cold wind in the early morning was so cold that it blew the heater all night, and Shan Shan was shivering. She got off the train and walked towards the exit. The two men behind her kept watching over her. Behind, Shan Shan looked back at them, deliberately stood outside the crowd, waited for them to pass by, and then left by himself, the two men looked back at her, Shan Shan put his hand into the bag vigilantly, and shocked the electric shock in the bag. After poking the stick into the sleeve and hiding it, he took out his hand and put it in his pocket calmly, holding the switch tightly with his fingers.

She walked very slowly, and she was almost the last one out of the station. In fact, she was really a little afraid to see those two people when she walked out of the station. Although this was not the first time she encountered danger, every time she let People trembled in fear.

She forced herself to be calm. If there were too many people, she would call for help. If she was taken to a place where no one was around, she must remember not to close her eyes, but to face them directly. There is also pepper water and strong lights in it. If you can take the lead, you will be able to get out smoothly.

Of course, it's better not to touch it.

When she walked up to the last step, she glanced around the exit and found that the two men were no longer there. She finally let go of her hanging heart. At the beginning, her gaze was attracted by a man in the waiting area of ​​the exit. The man was wearing a black coat, which looked very thin in this climate, and was wearing a white woolen scarf, which seemed to be the one she had left at home. The scarf almost covered most of his face, but even so, she recognized him in the dark crowd at a glance.

Shan Shan couldn't even imagine that he would be here.

It was hard to imagine that someone would come to pick her up.

She walked over gently, looked at him without blinking and asked, "Why are you here?"

Tang Xiaotian said softly: "It's too unsafe for you to stay at the train station by yourself. I'll pick you up."

Shan Shan held the electric shock baton tightly in her pocket. For some reason, her palms were slightly sweaty. Many times, when she was smiling and shocking people with the electric baton, she didn't sweat at all.

Just looking at Tang Xiaotian's calm look, he suddenly remembered that he has no money?Don't you know the way?How did he come here?
Tang Xiaotian is very smart, he can see through the simple doubts at a glance, shake the phone and say, "I followed the phone's navigation to walk here."

"Come here?" It takes at least three hours to walk from my house to the train station. He... came here?

Just to pick me up?

Shan Shan looked at him straight, his eyes full of emotion.

Tang Xiaotian pulled the sheet and said softly, "Let's go, find a warm place to sit."

"En." Shan Shan was like sleepwalking, being dragged away by Tang Xiaotian, to a [-]-hour supermarket, Tang Xiaotian let Shan Shan go in, and he waited not far outside, because his wanted warrants were posted everywhere, The supermarket is also a place with cameras. Once he enters, it is likely to attract the police.

It wasn't until Tang Xiaotian pushed her into the store that the radiator warmed her body completely, and her frozen body didn't react. She turned her head and looked out of the glass window, standing in the corner, the man who was blown by the cold wind but remained motionless, My heart was so warm that I felt sour, and there was always something in my eyes that wanted to flow out.

Shan Dan bought two cups of hot coffee, took them out, gave one to him, and held one cup in his hand, drinking carefully, regardless of his constant saying: "Shan Dan, go in quickly, it's cold outside."

"No." Shan Shan smiled brightly in the winter night, and said in a crisp voice, "I don't feel cold at all!"

Yes, I don’t feel cold at all. It’s been a long time. I haven’t felt the warmth from others for a long time. It turns out that just a little bit of it can warm people’s whole body. Even in such a cold winter morning, I don’t feel cold .
