Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

"Xixi——" Yu Huanmei called from Wu Linxi's bedroom, "Come in quickly."

Wu Linxi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, preparing to cast the screen to watch a drama. When she heard the call, she walked lazily into the bedroom, "Mom, what's going on?"

Yu Huanmei pointed at the pile of things on the bed and said to her, "Those are the bedding I bought for you. Bring them to your new house this afternoon and see if you like them."

"You bought so many..." Wu Linxi walked to the bedside, picked up the items one by one, and said to his mother with a smile: "I'm not getting married, I'm just buying a house and moving."

Yu Huanmei said, "Not much. The new house has two bedrooms and two beds. Although you usually live alone, you have to use them alternately. In case your father and I come over, we need to use them as well."

Wu Linxi nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, thank you mother for the arrangement."

"There are more..." Yu Huanmei opened a large cardboard box on the ground, "Inside are tea cups, coffee cups, tissues, toilet paper, toothbrushes, towels, shampoo, all daily necessities. I'll take them to your car and drag them to the new house."

Wu Linxi nodded in admiration, "Mom, you are so thoughtful. I can basically move in with just my luggage."

"You are so busy, so I have to prepare it for you." Yu Huanmei sighed and said, "Who told us that our home is in the suburbs, so far from your workplace. It's too much trouble to travel 60 or 70 kilometers back and forth every day. It's not worth it if it ruins your health. We will feel more at ease if I buy you a house next to your workplace. You can come home and have a good meal on weekends when you are free."

Wu Linxi hugged Yu Huanmei's shoulders, and her eyes suddenly became moist. She choked up and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. You think too much about me."

"Why are you crying?" Yu Huanmei wiped Wu Linxi's tears. "You are such an emotional child. You are still crying even at this age."

Wu Linxi smiled with tears in her eyes, "Who told you and dad to be so affectionate? People say that if parents are too affectionate, their children will be very sentimental."

"What a rubbish theory." Yu Huanmei stood up with a smile on her face. "You can get your clothes and cosmetics by yourself. Take advantage of your rest today and pack them up quickly. We will send them to you together."

"Okay..." Wu Linxi stood up and opened the closet. There were too many clothes. The four-door closet was filled with her spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes, skirts, scarves and hats. She said to herself, "Just pack some. It's not like I'm not going home. I'll have to wear them when I go home on weekends."

Suddenly, her eyes focused on a piece of clothing. It was a gray and white men's outdoor sportswear, a top foreign brand, and it was not cheap.

Four years ago, she retrieved the dress from the seat of a tour bus.

This dress was the only gain from that thrilling journey.

She often thinks of that graduation trip, and the reason why it was so memorable was because of the brave computer doctor she met during that trip.

She remembered that he sat in the row in front of her and he once turned to look at her. He had a resolute and well-shaped face of a man with brown skin, a straight nose with a slightly hooked nose tip, deep and bright eyes, and thick and even eyebrows.

Just when he looked back at her like that, her heart beat faster than ever before. She remembered that she immediately smiled at him, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

Later, they had no chance to communicate at all, as the unexpected situation disrupted their graduation trip. He remained calm at the critical moment and stepped forward to deal with several gangsters, while she, who was in the car, followed his figure with a tight heart.

She saw with her own eyes that he was stabbed in the arm by the gangster, and her heart almost jumped out at that moment.

While waiting for the ambulance, she saw that his arm was bleeding profusely, so she took off the silk scarf from her neck and wrapped it around his arm without a second thought. At that time, she had only one thought in mind: to stop the bleeding.

The ambulance took him away, and she took the clothes he had left on the seat. She couldn't explain why she did that: maybe she wanted to have a reasonable excuse when she returned his clothes, or maybe she wanted to keep one of his things as a souvenir.

A month later, she had secured a job. After reporting to the radio station, she wanted to go back to school to return the clothes. She asked her classmates who were on their graduation trip that day about him, but she learned that he had already gone to the United States.

From the inquiries of these classmates, she learned a little bit of information about him:

Qi Xiangtian, an outstanding doctoral student in the Department of Computer Science, is working with ** University in the United States to develop a computational methods project. After graduation, he will stay in the United States for two years.

When she heard the news, she didn't know whether to feel disappointed or happy for him.

That dress was hung in her closet for four years. When she took the dress out to dry in the sun that summer, Yu Huanmei asked, "Whose dress is this?"

"It belongs to my classmate. He forgot it here. He works in another place now. He will come and get it when he has the chance."

"Male classmates?" Yu Huanmei asked again.

"Yes - a boy from another class." Wu Linxi said.

"Not a boyfriend?" Yu Huanmei looked at Wu Linxi in confusion.

"No--" Wu Linxi said.

When she was drying clothes, she found a keychain in the pocket of the clothes with a panda doll hanging on it.

She put the key chain in the drawer, and took it out from time to time to look at it, imagining his world and his life, which became a very interesting thing.
