In a dream

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the same hotel at No. 25 again, Xie Jingwan opened the glass window. The wind in the early morning of the autumn night was a bit cold. She was still wearing the white gauze dress, and stood in front of the window with her hands crossed and embracing herself. The neon lights in the distance feel the satisfaction and happiness that I have never felt in the past ten years.She waited for ten years, and finally let her wait.

Mu Elegy touched the other side of the bed in a half-dream and half-awake, and sat up startled when she found no one around, "Jing Wan!" The eyes that had just opened were still a little blurry, Mu Elegy rubbed them, and saw the white heart on the window in a daze Xia breathed a sigh of relief: "You are still there."

Xie Jingwan turned around and ran towards Mu Elegy, "What's the matter? Have a nightmare?" She threw off the slippers and put her feet on the bed, Xie Jingwan leaned against Mu Elegy and put her arms around her trembling body and asked.

Mu Elegy shook her head, her absent-minded eyes slowly focused, brushed her hand over her smooth face, and looked at her through the neon light coming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, "I fell asleep in a daze, I couldn't touch you with my hand..."

A simple sentence made Xie Jingwan's heart ache. She must be afraid, afraid that she would push her away again, which is why she woke up like this, just like how many nights in the past when I dreamed of her resolute back, I thought She really didn't come back and woke up crying like that.It's just that they have tortured each other for so many years, and she is convinced that she deeply loves the woman in front of her who has been thin since she was a child, but has always used her thin body to shield herself from the wind and rain.This time, she wanted to be brave. "I won't push you away again." With Mu Elegy in his arms, she lay down again, and helped her tuck in the quilt. Xie Jingwan got up and closed the window and drew the curtains. The room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Mu Elegy opened her eyes and looked at the invisible ceiling, quietly listening to her footsteps from far to near without pause, until she felt a slight depression on the other side of the bed before turning her head to face her. Xie Jingwan's direction: "Do you often live here? You are so familiar with the furniture here."

"Yeah." Xie Jingwan pulled the corner of the quilt to get in and was hugged tightly by Mu Elegy. She turned her head and saw her eyes shining brightly in the dark night.She leaned forward and kissed Mu Elegy's lips accurately. After a long time, she slowly moved her lips away from Mu Elegy: "Mu Mu, you are back."

"Well, I'm back." With her fingers wrapped around Xie Jingwan's cool hand, Mu Elegy put her head close to Xie Jingwan's neck: "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time..."

"You've been wearing it all the time?" Feeling a thin and slippery bead under his hand, Mu Elegy's heart warmed up, and he stood up to turn on the light. That slender wrist was wearing the same chain she had fastened for her back then. Clear crystal beads still hang from the ends.Mu Elegy spread out his hands, and gently lifted the crystal beads, feeling the heat in the eye sockets.

Xie Jingwan propped herself up on the bed and sat up, "Well, I've been wearing it all the time, thanks to its company for so many years." The five fingers were spread out and attached to Mu Elegy's flicked hand, and the palm was tightly pressed through the crystal beads.

"Mumu, I thought you wouldn't come back again. I've thought about it a lot these years. I was in pain when you just left, but I always told myself that it was the younger sister who grew up with me and suddenly left to be my older sister. I can’t get used to it, so I told myself that soon someone else will live in here to replace that position.” Holding Mu Elegy’s warm hand on his chest, Xie Jingwan lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs, “Then , you've been gone for so long, there really wasn't a phone call or a letter, and the constant pain started here, and I started having nightmares, and I always dreamed of you saying goodbye to my sister, you know? That night, I kept , awake all the time. I have been reluctant to admit it, but later I have to admit it to myself: Mu Elegy, I love you, just like you love me, for so many years..."

Mu Elegy hugged the people around her tightly for a long time, but she didn't speak anymore, just hugged and hugged tightly.

Extra episode one:

In the cold winter, all the life-giving green is covered with a layer of frost, replaced by a touch of white, and the silver outfit makes the whole small town look dying and lacking some vitality.Occasionally, one or two sonorous cries of children or the sound of hip-hop playing from inside the tall red walls gave life to the low-rise houses in the suburbs.

The orphanage has just received a batch of children's play equipment from a charity organization in a big city outside.The children stepped on the small benches and lay on the edge of the window, dragging their noses and staring as they watched the workers in gray overalls lift the wooden toys out of the truck one by one and place them neatly in the middle of the yard.After all the workers were greeted by the dean with a smile to the cafeteria in the backyard, they jumped off the bench and ran outside like an amnesty, hoping to be the first to experience the toy.Even though the seesaw has peeled off the paint and the original colorful patterns are no longer visible, it is still a children's favorite.

The little girl was lying on the corner of the window, silently watching the children rushing out, chattering and clamoring to play on the slide or seesaw.She is very clean, without the snot strips that most children have, and the old jacket that can almost hold two of her is washed whitish but clean.Her name is Mu Zhixia, and today is her 30th day in the orphanage.

The aunts in the yard always liked her. Although she had just arrived, some aunts would secretly give her one or two candies or a small piece of sesame cake behind the back of other children.Maybe it's because of her poor background, maybe it's because of her pale and bloodless handsome face since she came to the hospital, or maybe it's because she's so well-behaved that she doesn't need anyone to take care of her daily life.She can spend twenty to ten minutes putting on autumn clothes, sweaters, and jackets one by one, and clumsily tying shoelaces with short fingers, even though they always fall apart in less than half an hour.But she still takes care of herself. When she was just four years old, she learned things that even her peers in the orphanage couldn't learn. She remembered that she told her mother that she would grow up well. , She is fulfilling the promise she made to her mother step by step. She knows that her mother will not see it. Although the aunt in the yard always smiles and tells her that her mother will come back one day, she just knows that her mother will not come back.

The sound of car horns coming from the gate of the courtyard attracted most of the children's attention, including Mu Zhixia.It's just that she is more calm and silent than the excitement and curiosity of other children.The aunt who was standing on the other side of the window edge and just wanted to tease her saw that it was the big boss who donated this time, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​teasing her. She sighed softly and turned to the backyard to find the dean.

Mu Zhixia looked at the black car slowly parked beside the flower stand near the window, a serious young man was sitting on the driver's seat, but the back seat of the car couldn't see clearly, only a touch of pink and a cloud of gray could be vaguely seen .Another gust of cold wind blew by, her face was scratched and her nose was itchy, the little doll who stood on the small bench and touched her pocket for a while through the thick jacket was still unable to take out her handkerchief. Giving up, she jumped off the small stool, but found her small flowered handkerchief at the corner of the bench, twisted a corner and shook it a few times before wiping the snot that was about to flow from the tip of her nose with it.

"Hi!" A delicate yet domineering voice.

Mu Zhixia raised her head blankly, there was a delicate pink doll standing at the door of the room, she was standing against the light, Mu Zhixia couldn't see her face clearly, almost three quarters of her body was wrapped in a pink down jacket, A cute bow is tied around the waist, and a pair of pink flat boots are on the legs.Because of the backlight, Mu Zhixia felt that the little girl in front of her, who was about the same age as her, was full of radiance, exuding the warmth she needed, which made her unconsciously want to get closer.She really did that. No matter how sensible she is at the age of four, she is still just a child.For the first time, she wanted to get close to someone, so she stepped forward without hesitation.

The little girl on the opposite side saw Mu Zhixia walking towards her, and she also moved forward a few steps. Mu Zhixia could see her face clearly, red and white, she was wearing pigtails, and her whole body was warm pink. It was warm, but her face was as cold as frost outside the window.

"Why are you ignoring me?" the girl said domineeringly, Mu Zhixia stopped her feet, and suddenly she felt a little scared with a distance of two meters from the girl, she didn't dare to hold her hand anymore.It's just that the girl opposite didn't stop talking because she stopped suddenly. She boldly took a few steps forward and took Mu Zhixia's hand. Shivering, she pouted dissatisfiedly and muttered: "This place is so cold, your hands are so cold." However, she did not let go of the little hand she was holding in it, but moved closer to hold the little hand that was still on the side. The other hand of the dazed child also held it. "My name is Xie Jingwan. What's your name?"

"Mu Zhixia, my name is Mu Zhixia." Mu Zhixia finally had a little reaction, looked down at the hand that was held by her, looked up at the face of the girl who was slightly taller than her, and replied dully .

"Then I'll call you Mu Mu from now on." The little girl slightly lowered her head and looked at Mu Zhixia who seemed to be wandering in front of her eyes. She remembered what her father said before getting out of the car. Is she really her younger sister?Xie Jingwan was very uncertain, she had never heard from her mother that a younger sister was lost in the orphanage, but father would not lie to him, would he?Although very uncertain, Xie Jingwan still decided to treat her well. Dad said that he would take her home. After returning, he would give her all the toys, plush bears and unworn new clothes in the room. Some, she thought silently in her heart.

Mu Zhixia looked at the hands tightly held by the girl, and slowly felt that her palms were sweaty and sticky, but she refused to take them out.

After happily making a decision in her heart, Xie Jingwan smiled with satisfaction and said to Mu Zhixia: "Are you just four years old?" Mu Zhixia just wanted to answer, but she spoke again before the other party answered. "I'm four and a half years old, you have to call me sister, you know? From now on, when you see me, call me sister Jingwan." After speaking, he patted Mu Zhixia's head like his father usually talked to him, and saw the other party Mu Mu nodded, and the little girl held her hand in satisfaction, "Let's go, go home with my sister."
