Turning the intersection, Alice saw a mountain bike shop on the side of the road, so she entered the shop, launched a mountain bike and jumped on it, pushing forward hard.
He galloped across a long street and came to the burning road. When Alice saw it, her heart was cold. The original burning thing was a van that was abandoned on the street.
It is thought that the heat accumulated in the car cannot be discharged, and spontaneous combustion occurred.
The hope disappeared, and Alice was frustrated.
She stood quietly on the street, staring at the flame in a daze, and suddenly she saw a person turn out at the intersection.
When Alice saw her, her lips trembled, but she couldn't call out.
She is eager to see people, but when she does see people, she feels scared again.
The man got closer and closer, and Alice saw that she was a middle-aged woman with long hair and shawl.
The middle-aged woman lowered her head and fiddled with a thing on her hand, until she walked to Alice, she suddenly raised her head. I was surprised at first, then smiled and said: "Hi, hello!"
Alice whispered, "You too." Seeing the middle-aged woman wearing a long black trench coat, with a gentle appearance and polite speech, she felt a little good for her first.
The middle-aged woman asked: "Just you?"
Alice said, "Um... I have some friends over there."
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly: "Don't lie to me, it's rare to see a living person in Eagle City, haha, I'm not a bad person, you don't have to be wary of me."
Alice smiled awkwardly: "Madam, are you alone?" Looking at the thing in the middle-aged woman's hand, she saw that it was a toy figure, and thought, "She is such a big person, how can you return it? Playing with children's stuff?"
The middle-aged woman nodded and raised the toy figure in her hand: "Does it look good? I found it after searching for a long time."
Alice said, "It looks good, what is this?"
The middle-aged woman said, "Xinghe figured it out. I have a set of twenty-seven pieces short of this one." The tone was very pleased.
Alice thought to herself: "When is this, she still wants to play with toys?"
The middle-aged woman seemed to see through Alice's mind, and said, "The more we can't see hope, the less we can let ourselves sink." Holding Alice's hand, "Can I invite you to my house for a while?"
Alice
There was a cold war cleverly, a little strange, why is her hand so cold
The middle-aged woman said: "You have a temperature on your body. You are not ours, but you are not a biochemical person. Well, you are not a star person. You are from the mainland, right?"
Alice said, "How do you know?"
The middle-aged woman said: "I just know it." She smiled, "Accept my invitation?"
Alice nodded involuntarily: "Thank you for the invitation."
The two walked across the empty street and turned into an alley. The middle-aged woman asked, "Can you tell me your name?"
Alice said, "Alice."
The middle-aged woman said: "Well, your name is really nice, my last name is Xia, and my name is Xia Ruoyun."
Alice said, "Ms. Xia, I really admire you."
Xia Ruoyun said, "What do you admire me?"
Alice said: "A person still lives so free and easy."
Xia Ruoyun said: "It's also a day to be happy, and a day to be unhappy, so why do you want to wrong yourself?"
Alice nodded thoughtfully: "You said so well."
As the two talked, the hutong came to an end. There was a courtyard house in front of him. Xia Ruoyun pushed the door in, and turned around to greet Alice: "Come in."
Alice walked into the yard with a sense of anxiety, and saw that the yard was not big, but it was clean and tidy. There were seven or eight flowerpots lined up under the steps, planting elegant camellia.
There is a pomegranate in the middle of the yard with small pink flowers all over the branches.
In the dead city without a trace of popularity, Alice stood in this exquisite courtyard, suddenly in a good mood, like a spring breeze.
Xia Ruoyun entered the house for a moment, brought out a pot of tea and two glasses, and the two sat down at the stone table under the pomegranate tree.
Xia Ruoyun said: "Try it, this is made of eagle fruit flowers."
Alice picked up the glass and smelled a refreshing sweetness before she could even eat it. When I drink it in my mouth, it is unexplainable and comfortable.
After a while, Alice said, "Ms. Xia, you are a person with a good attitude towards life. With you, I feel very peaceful in my heart."
Xia Ruoyun said, "Really, you can come often."
Alice was a little surprised. She originally thought that Ms. Xia, who was alone, would say something to keep her company with her.
Xia Ruoyun smiled and said, "Are you a little weird, you even feel that I'm not close to humans, and the two people finally get together, but I don't invite you to stay?"
Alice nodded: "Yes, I am a little puzzled."
Xia Ruoyun said: "Although we are all alone, but if we are together every day for a long time, loneliness is superimposed on loneliness. If the two meet each other from time to time, they will feel fresh for a long time."
Alice smiled and said, "I see, this is called beauty from distance."
Xia Ruoyun smiled and said, "You are a very smart girl."
After that, Alice went to Xia Ruoyun's yard every other time, feeling that life was not so boring.
One day three months later, Alice came to visit Xia Ruoyun again and brought a beautiful figure.
She opened the gate of the courtyard, and she was taken aback, and besides Xia Ruoyun, there was a girl in the courtyard.
This girl is Zhou Zi, to be precise, Zhou Zi from another world.
Zhou Zi stared at Alice blankly, and for a while, the two men said at the same time: "There is another girl!" When they spoke, they couldn't help laughing.
Two girls of the same age hit it off right away, Xia Ruoyun looked in her eyes and said, "Alice, if you want, you can go with Zhou Zi. There are many of them."
When Alice heard it, she was very moved. After all, the feelings of young people are not like Xia Ruoyun. She can live comfortably by herself.
Zhou Zi said: "But, I'm afraid that Brother An is unwilling to accept it."
Xia Ruoyun said: "Don't worry, I have already told Professor Xiao about Alice's situation, and he has agreed."
Zhou Zixi said: "That would be great. Aunt Xia, you are such a good person! As long as Professor Xiao agrees, Brother An must agree." Hugging Xia Ruoyun and kissed him.
In this way, Alice joined Professor Xiao's team under Xia Ruoyun's introduction.
. . . . .
Back to the present, Strawberry Mansion, this evening, Alice and I lingered all night, and fell asleep just before dawn.
When I woke up, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.
The two put on their clothes and opened the door. Ming Han said with a smile, "I just wait for you to get up and go back."
Zhou Zi said, "Where are we going back? We won't go with you."
