[Beep beep beep beep beep—]
The abrupt and piercing alarm bell rang for a moment before it was suppressed by the hand that had been sticking out from under the quilt.
The black-haired girl lying on the bed opened her sleepy eyes, looked at the time in a daze, then slowly lifted the quilt and sat up.
First, I stretched my muscles and bones, then got up from the bed, put on my slippers, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.
The warm sunlight shone into the room in a second, and the girl's eyes gradually brightened.
She looked downstairs through the glass window. There were office workers in suits and ties in a hurry, and students in school uniforms who were going to school with their schoolbags on their backs. Not far away, a shop for pancakes and fruit sauces opened in the community. From afar, you can see that the business is booming and the store is full.
After getting up and washing up, the girl came to the kitchen, and a gentle-looking middle-aged woman in a half-length apron just came out with a cow and a plate.
After seeing the big girl, she said with a smile, "Lily, you got up really early today, come on, eat breakfast quickly."
He said and put the things in his hand on the dining table.
Sally looked at the steaming buns and milk on the plate, opened the dining chair and sat down, and asked, "Mom, where is my dad? Why didn't you see him?"
"Your father, your old Uncle Li called you to go to the gym early in the morning."
"...Then why don't you go?" Picking up the bun and taking a big bite, he asked vaguely while chewing Sally.
"I'm not going, I'll go out with you later, I made an appointment with our dance team to practice square dancing in the park today!"
As she said that, she suddenly remembered something, and Mama Sha asked, "Oh, by the way, have you two chatted with the blind date that Aunt Zhang introduced to you last time?"
Sha Li was about to pick up the milk glass and handed it to her mouth. She paused, facing Sha Mama's concerned eyes, she forced a smile, "I didn't talk a few words..."
"what's wrong?"
"It just... doesn't feel right."
Hearing what her daughter said, the light in Sha Ma's eyes gradually dimmed, but she noticed her daughter's far-fetched expression, and she smiled again, "It's okay if it's not suitable, a lifetime is long, and you will always meet the right one, don't worry .”
Sally stopped talking, drank two sips of milk, stood up, "Then I'll go to work first."
"Eh, good."
At the entrance, she changed into shoes and a cotton coat, put her bag on her shoulders, and looked back at Sha Ma who saw her off, and then Sha Li left the house.
As soon as she stepped out of the unit door, a cool breeze hit her face. After Sally took a sharp breath, her nose and eyes began to turn red.
In fact, she knew that Mama Sha was lying when she said that she was not in a hurry.
She is 32 years old, and among the relatives and friends around her, she is the only one who is not married.
Since waking up from a dream five years ago, she has been in a particularly bad state. She was extremely depressed and saw a psychiatrist for half a year. Later, under the guidance of the psychiatrist, she gradually accepted the fact for a long time.
After spending almost a year adjusting herself, she began to work hard, and she was able to temporarily forget the experience and memories of that different world when she was immersed in the busy work every day.
But in fact, that experience left her with not only some pain and regrets, but with the help of the English skills she worked so hard to learn in that world, she switched to a company with better qualifications and benefits, got a promotion and salary increase, and worked like a Like "Sally" in that parallel world, she paid a down payment to buy a house in the location she had been looking forward to, and took her parents over to live with her.
She worked hard for this and had everything that didn't belong to her.
...but, after all, something was missing.
After a busy day at work, Sally's colleagues in the company proposed to go to a KTV party to relax.
In the box, everyone toasted and chatted, some people ordered songs and others made noise, and the atmosphere was very happy.
Colleague Lin Xiao is a returnee who just came back from abroad, and he can almost regard English as his mother tongue. At this party, he stood up and sang a song for everyone.
Originally, Sally was very happy to chat with the leader, but when the prelude to the song sounded, she was stunned, and then her eyes were wet for a second.
He sang "A□□allsdown", and the familiar tune was like a key, unlocking the sealed memories that had been sealed in her heart for a long time.
"...I'm going to the bathroom, maybe I'm a little drunk." While wiping away tears, Sally said with a smile to the people around her.
Then, under their surprised eyes, she got up from the sofa and walked out without even taking her coat.
She came to the lobby outside and saw her coming out alone, some staff members asked her if she needed anything, she shook her head and said no, then sat on the sofa by the window.
It was past 11 o'clock in the evening, and the street outside the KTV was extremely deserted, with almost no pedestrians.
Sally just sat there, following the bright lights of the hall, she saw her reflection in the glass.
Waist-length black long straight hair, a baby face as big as a palm is very youthful, and it should be radiant, but at this moment the slightly swollen eyes reveal a hollow light.
She quietly looked at herself in the mirror, and a desire suddenly surged in her heart.
...I really want to see each other.
It seems that because of drinking a can of beer, she is no longer suppressing her miss tonight.
His face and voice seemed to be whispering in her ears, and his longing was like a tide.
Suddenly, she seemed to see a man in a brown coat standing on the side of the street directly outside the window, and that figure was very much like the one in her memory.
Like crazy, Sally stood up, opened the door and chased after her.
However, when she came to the opposite side of the street, she found that it was empty and there was no one there.
...and her heart was empty.
Is she hallucinating again?
"Lucas..."
She muttered to herself, but her heart suddenly throbbed in pain the next second, and finally she cried out desperately.
The teardrops on her face poured out one after another like broken beads, and she stretched out her hands to cover her tear-filled cheeks, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, she squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
