A foreign city, dear you

My love was originally safe and sound, but what about now?

The love between Mr. Rochester and Miss Jane Eyre was finally complete and happy, but what about the love between me and Qian?

……

The time came to five o'clock.

Lanshan must be out of school, right? Even if you are dragging the class, school should be over, right?

Did he remember that he had to go home alone today?

Will he know how to pay attention to safety on the road?

Ye Lian couldn't sit still. She stood up, closed the book, and put it back on the shelf.

Ye Lian wanted to see where Lanshan had gone.

She put on her shoes and went out.

Standing at the elevator entrance, Ye Lian hesitated again.

If I touch him halfway, what's the difference between that and picking him up?

Forget it, let’s not go downstairs.

The Xi Ya Yuan house is divided into left and right halves by a long corridor.

At one end of the corridor is the elevator, and at the other end is a window that allows air and light.

If you look out the window, you can see Mingtian Road, but I wonder if you can see the zebra crossing gap that Lanshan must pass through.

Then go to that window and take a look?

Ye Lian had a thought in her mind and walked towards the end of the corridor by the window.

The corridor is a bit long, this end is darker, and the closer to the window, the brighter it gets.

Ye Lian came to the window.

There is a stainless steel anti-theft net on the window. Ye Lian cannot peek out and can only look out through the window.

Look far and high.

Ye Lian saw Mingtian Road and the zebra crossing gap.

But because it is so high and so far away, pedestrians appear smaller.

Ye Lian worked hard to identify pedestrians on both sides of the zebra crossing, hoping to see the familiar figure of Lan Shan carrying a schoolbag.

Alas, children are growing up slowly, and adults have to let go slowly.

But the first time I let go, I felt so worried and worried.

"Mother hands line, wandering clothing.

Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay in return.

......"

Ye Lian can now especially understand the mood of a loving mother.

Not to mention that the child has traveled far away, and she is always so uneasy and worried when he returns home alone from school.

I haven’t seen Lan Shan yet.

Maybe he just left school, maybe he walked slowly while talking to his classmates, maybe...

Ye Lian comforted herself.

Ye Lian turned around and looked at the deep corridor behind her, feeling funny again.

What do you think this is?

Who knows that there is such a funny scene in this world: a mother, worried that it would be unsafe for her son to go home alone after school, lies on the corridor window on the 14th floor, looking down from a distance and secretly watching?

Ye Lian didn't know what it was like for other mothers to let go of their children for the first time. Is there any mother like her who hides in a corner and secretly looks in the direction of her children going home?

There were the voices of men and women talking and the sound of dogs barking a little further behind.

Ye Lian turned around and saw the female neighbor in the next room coming out, and the old man in his fifties.

The female neighbor was still dressed so coquettishly, carrying a bag, a fashionable beret, and holding the pet dog.

The hair on the old man's head has become even thinner, almost becoming the "Mediterranean Sea" that he disdains to look directly at.

Ye Lian glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze.

She didn't like to see that couple, and couldn't stand that couple.

Really, thinking about such a bad old man and a young and beautiful girl jumping on him by any means makes me feel sick.

Alas, this world!

Although Ye Lian didn't want to see them, their voices came to her. The woman's cooing voice made Ye Lian get goosebumps all over her body.

Shameless, looking for a married man, shameful and hateful!

It is said that the older men become, the more popular they become, while the older women become, the more hesitant they become.

Is this statement a true portrayal of real life?

Isn't there someone around Qian who is quietly sticking it up?

Aren't you just wandering now?

Cheng Dianfei's affectionate expression when she looked at Cao Xueqian appeared in front of Ye Lian's eyes again, as if a cat was gently scratching her heart.

Oh, what's wrong with me? Why do you want to go there again?

Ye Lian retracted her thoughts and looked towards Mingtian Road again, towards the gap.

Still didn’t see the blue cedar.

School must have been over, because groups of students had already appeared in Ye Lian's sight.

Is Lanshan back? Where have you been?

This boy didn't hurry up and didn't think about his mother at home, waiting for him eagerly by the corridor window.

Waited for a while.

Ye Lian saw groups of students crossing the road and then flowing into various buildings or lanes.

Then I saw that the number of students on the road slowly decreased.

But I haven’t seen the blue cedars yet.

Ye Lian couldn't hold back her anger.

Why so late?

What's going to happen?

Should I go to the school and have a look?

Don't worry, what can happen?

If something goes wrong, it won't be a safety issue.

Except for Mingtian Road, there is no need to cross the road on other sections, and there should be no traffic safety problems. I just need to look at the gap on Mingtian Road and see him crossing the road safely.

Ye Lian struggled over and over again, but she still convinced herself to suppress the restlessness in her heart and stayed by the window.

Another ten minutes passed. It's almost half past five.

Finally saw Lanshan's figure.

Wearing an autumn long-sleeved blue school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, she walked towards Mingtian Road while talking to her classmates.

There are ten cubs in the mother's belly, but there may not be a mother in the cub's belly.

You can see him talking and laughing with his classmates. He doesn't have any fear or uneasiness about going home alone, and he doesn't seem to be unaccustomed to not having his mother by his side.

He was probably excited that he finally experienced the freedom of going home alone.

Ye Lian watched Lan Shan come to the roadside in Mingtian and waited.

This is just a gap, not a crossroads. There are no traffic lights, only zebra crossings, and the zebra crossings are not obvious due to age, so crossing the road is more troublesome. You must look for a gap without cars and cross the road quickly.

The reason why Ye Lian didn't dare to let Lanshan go home alone was because she was worried about this gap.

Cars come and go on Mingtian Road, one following the other.

Ye Lian stared at the car on the road, feeling very nervous.

I wonder if Lanshan is patient enough to wait for an opportunity to cross the road safely?

Although she had been warned repeatedly, Ye Lian was still very uneasy.

Ye Lian watched from a distance...

Lanshan looked at the car on the left.

at last,

There is a small "interruption zone" for cars traveling in the left direction.

Lanshan pulled his classmates and waited until the "break zone" came to the gap, then quickly crossed the side of the road and came to the middle of the road.

Lanshan looked at the vehicle on the right again.

A car drove closer and stopped slowly.

I met a highly qualified driver.

When Lanshan and the others saw this, they quickly ran across the road.

Then the two children waved and walked toward their homes.
