But obviously, Anna didn't listen to her apology at all, and she didn't even look at Zuo Si. When Zuo Si tried to get her attention, Anna stood up.

Zuo Si was stunned, and looked up at her subconsciously. Anna took a deep breath, and the expression on her face looked extremely sad and sad.

"Happy wedding anniversary."

After saying this, she picked up the camel coat that was draped over the back of the chair, and left without mercy.

Zuo Si sat there blankly, with a dazed expression on his face.

What happened this time was all her fault. It was supposed to be a good chance to reconcile, but because of her, Mike lost the chance to reconcile with Anna.

She sat there slumped, wiped her face, looked at the empty place opposite, Zuo Si was silent for a while, and then said something in a low voice.

"Sorry, Mike."

Mike didn't answer her question, but the feeling of a ball of cotton in her heart dissipated a lot, and she knew that it was Mike's doing.

Although he has never had direct contact with Mike, Zuo Si has all of Mike's memories and knows almost everything about him.

She knew that Mike was really a very gentle man.

Anna had already left, Zuo Si sat in the restaurant for a while, she didn't have much appetite to eat, the people in the restaurant were noisy, coming and going, she was clearly sitting here, but she felt as if she was in another space like.

Everything around her seemed so out of place, perhaps it should be said that she couldn't integrate into the world around her.

She sat there for a long time, until a strange person sat in the opposite seat, then got up and left the restaurant.

She doesn't eat here, and occupying a table by herself is indeed a bit too much.

After leaving the restaurant, Zuo Si walked aimlessly on the street. She didn't know where she was going, nor where she was going. She just kept walking until she recovered, and Zuo Si realized that He was already standing outside the gate of Mike's house.

Now that you're back, let's go home and explain to Anna what happened in the restaurant.

Anna had already come back one step ahead, and Zuo Si saw that the shoes she took off at the door were the same pair of shoes she had worn to the restaurant before.

The golden shoes are studded with broken diamonds, they are shiny and very beautiful.

It can be seen that Anna also tried her best to dress up for this date, but she was late for so long, which completely broke Anna's heart.

For the sake of the relationship between Mike and Anna, no matter what, she must explain what happened this time.

After making up his mind, Zuo Si walked towards Anna's room. However, the door of her room seemed to be locked. No matter how hard Zuo Si tried, he couldn't open the door.

She seemed to be really angry and refused all communication and explanation.

Zuo Si knocked on the door, but she didn't answer, as if she wasn't in the room.

She had never had this kind of experience of coaxing women before. At this time, she knew that she should say some sweet words to coax Anna, but knowing that didn't mean she could say sweet words to coax others.

Although she has become Mike physically, her soul is still herself.

She really can't learn how to coax other people's wives.

After knocking on the door for a long time, Anna ignored her, so Zuo Si had no choice but to stand outside the door and dryly apologize.

Just talking and talking, there was still no sound coming from inside the door. In the end, Zuo Si finished all he could say, and the inside of the door was still quiet without any sound.

Zuo Si was a little helpless, she sighed, patted her chest, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Mike, I've tried my best."

She has done the limit of what she can do, and Anna still refuses to accept her apology, and she has nothing to do.

Time passed by, and there was no sign of the door opening. Zuo Si was a little depressed, and felt that she seemed to be a little sorry for Mike, but she had done everything she could, and now, she had nothing to do. up.

She glanced at the closed door, turned and walked towards the basement.

Probably for the sake of quietness, Mike’s studio is in the basement. The basement has a large area and is very cozy inside. There are built-in cabinets on all four walls, filled with all kinds of books.

Zuo Si roughly scanned the past, picked up a book and started to read it.

The name of that book is Children's Psychoanalysis, and some children's psychological problems are written in detail, and the reasons for these problems are indicated at the back.

If you read a book like this, you will find it somewhat interesting.

With Mike's memory as a basis, these books are not so obscure in Zuo Si's view.

After flipping through a few pages, Zuo Si was completely absorbed in the world of the book.

The sky darkened unknowingly, and by the time Zuo Si came back to his senses, it was already night, someone had turned on the light in the basement, and a thick dress was wrapped around her shoulders, giving off a burst of warmth. When the sound came, Zuo Si couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

She was fascinated by it, she couldn't have turned on the light, and she couldn't have put this dress on herself, it seemed that Anna did all of this.

It seemed that after her anger subsided, she finally calmed down.

Just as Mike still loves Anna, Anna also has the same feelings for Mike, otherwise, she wouldn't come to see her in the basement.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si's mood improved a lot. She packed up all the books and put the clothes on the hangers again.

While the atmosphere is easing, she should go to Anna and have a good talk.

Zuo thought well, but when she got upstairs and was about to open the door of Anna's room, the door was still tightly closed, preventing her from opening it.

Zuo Si: "..."

He had already shown his favor to her, but why did he lock the door now?

"Anna? Anna?"

Zuo Si yelled twice, but still no one responded to her at the door, Zuo Si sighed and walked towards her room resentfully.

Although she is also a woman, Zuo Si really feels that women's thoughts are so hard to guess...

****

One night passed, and early the next morning, Zuo Si went to Cole's house again to continue the interview.

But her luck didn't seem to be very good. She rang the doorbell for a long time, but the closed door didn't open.

Aren't they at home?

Just as Zuo Si was thinking, an old woman on crutches came out from the next house. She looked very old, but her eyes and ears were still functional. Seeing Zuo Si standing outside Cole's house, that The old woman yelled at her.

"Are you here to find that little fellow Cole?"

Zuo Si was attracted by her voice, she looked at the old woman and nodded.

"Ma'am, do you know where Cole is?"

The old grandma seemed to be about to speak, but suddenly, she covered her mouth and coughed violently as if she had choked.

The posture of her coughing is a bit scary, and her whole body is shaking like a residual leaf in the wind. At first glance, it seems that there is an afterimage...

Zuo Si's eyes widened, and he felt that there was something wrong with his eyes. As expected, he took a closer look and saw that the old lady was standing there in good condition. Doesn't she look like there is an afterimage?

After coughing for a while, the old grandma finally stopped coughing. Her face was scary pale at first, but now after coughing for a while, her face is a little rosier than before.

"Ke Er is not at home, his mother took him out." The old grandma looked at Zuo Si standing there with cloudy eyes, and continued: "If you have anything to do, come tomorrow."

"okay, thank you."

Zuo Si thanked him, turned around and left this place.

She has only one patient on hand now, and her work is extremely idle. After thinking about it, she decided to go back to the company to have a look.

One day passed without knowing it, and by the time Zuo Si realized it, it was already the next day.

It wasn't until this moment that the dull Zuo Si felt that something was wrong.

She wanted to think about what she did yesterday. She clearly had a general impression in her mind, but when she thought about it carefully, she found that she couldn't remember what happened yesterday.

That day passed, but she didn't leave a deep impression on her. Zuo Si couldn't express that feeling, but felt a little awkward in her heart.

This awkward feeling has been lingering in her heart, but Zuo Si didn't have time to think about what was going on. She didn't go to look for Cole yesterday, but she should go there today.

The case for Zuo Si contained very detailed information about Cole. Zuo Si knew where Cole's school was and when he would leave school. After thinking about it, she decided to go to the school to find Cole.

In the environment he is familiar with, Cole will be relaxed, which will also help him accept her.

Just do what you say, and after confirming your plan, Zuo Si packed up his things and went to Cole's school.

The timing of her arrival was very coincidental. After standing at the school gate for a while, Cole walked out of the school.

He was carrying a big schoolbag on his back, and his expression was somewhat depressed, which was in stark contrast to the cheerful children around him.

He seemed to be wandering in another space, and he was a bit out of tune with those children and the world they lived in.

His speed was very slow, and within a short while, he fell behind. When he came out, a tall figure stood in front of him.

Cole's body trembled for a while, and then he slowly raised his head, those eyes full of melancholy, stared straight at Zuo Si.

Being looked at by him like that, Zuo Si felt a very strange feeling in her heart, she couldn't tell what that feeling was, she just thought it was very strange.

"Hello, Cole, we meet again."

Zuo Si greeted Cole with a smile, and Cole looked at Zuo Si with the corners of his lips slowly pursed.

Almost all the students had left, and they were the only two at the school gate. Cole took a look at Zuo Si and walked out of the school silently.

His home is not far from here, and he doesn't need to take the school bus, so he walks home.

"Cole, why don't you go home with your friends?"

Zuo Si chased up from behind, asking Cole as if he was gossiping.

Cole stopped suddenly, his head was lowered, and from Zuo Si's angle, he could only see the top of his golden hair.

Seeing that he wasn't leaving, Zuo Si felt a little strange, so he asked, "Ke Er, why didn't you leave?"

Cole still didn't speak, Zuo Si was a little worried, so he squatted down to see Cole's expression clearly.

Unexpectedly, Cole raised his head suddenly, and his eyes met Zuo Si's. There seemed to be something hidden in his eyes, but the thing was hidden so deep that people couldn't see clearly what it was.

Cole just looked at Zuo Si like that, and after a long time, he finally said, "Why, do you always follow me?"

Even if Zuo Si didn't understand anything, he could hear the sadness and sadness in his words. He seemed to be rejecting her, but she spoke to her, which seemed to indicate that he had opened his door , allowing her to step in and help him.

The expression on Zuo Si's face softened, she stretched out her hand, wanting to touch him, Cole's body trembled for a while, as if trying to dodge, but in the end, he still didn't move.

Zuo Si put her hands on Cole's shoulders, she held his shoulders with both hands, felt the trembling from under her palms, and said softly, "Because I want to help you."

Cole stared blankly at Zuo Si, and a transparent liquid slipped down from his eye sockets drop by drop.

Probably because he didn't want Zuo Si to see his fragile side, Cole struggled a bit, Zuo Si let go of him, and stood up.

"I see."

After a long time, Cole was bored

said a word.

The two walked towards Cole's house side by side.

"I don't have any friends. Everyone says I'm a freak and doesn't want to play with me. They say that if they become friends with me, they will be like me and become a freak."

A nine-year-old child is exactly the age that needs to be with children of the same age. People are group creatures. If they are excluded from a group and cannot integrate in, even adults will have psychological problems after a long time. Let alone a child?

"No one wants to be with you? Does your mother know about this?"

Cole shook his head with a sad expression: "Mom thinks that Donnie and I are good friends."

"Who is Downey?" Zuo Si asked.

"Donnie is the child of the next-door neighbor. He is two months older than me."

When the name Donny was mentioned, Cole's tone contained repulsion and a hint of imperceptible disgust.

Zuo Si seemed to have guessed something, and asked tentatively, "Kele, do you not like Donnie?"

Probably because he didn't expect Zuo Si to ask so bluntly, Cole was silent for a while before he opened his mouth: "Can I tell the truth?"

Zuo Si nodded: "Of course, I hope that when I'm with you, what you hear is the truth."

"I don't like Downey, he always bullies me."

Speaking of this, Cole's tone became low: "But my mother thinks we are good friends. She likes to let Donnie and I be together, go to school together, leave school together, and hang out together..."

"Mom says every little kid needs a good friend."

Zuo Si was silent for a while, before he said: "But I don't think you regard Donnie as a good friend, you don't like him."

Before Cole could speak, Zuo Si said, "Donnie didn't regard you as a good friend either."

Cole stopped talking. He looked at the big trees with only branches left on both sides of the road, with a dazed expression on his face.

The few times when Zuo Si met Ke Er, he always seemed to be preoccupied. He didn't look like a nine-year-old child at all. If he ignored his appearance and only looked at his breath, he might be It will make people misunderstand that he is already a dying old man.

He was obviously just a child, what kind of things could have caused him to become like this?

"Cole, if you don't like playing with Donny, you can tell your mother."

Cole shook his head, rejecting Zuo Si's proposal: "I won't tell mom, you can't tell mom about such things."

"Why? Don't children always tell their mother what's going on?"

Cole just shook his head, but he refused to say the reason why he didn't want to tell his mother. After Zuo Si repeatedly asked, Cole opened his mouth and told the reason.

"I won't tell my mom, I won't say anything, I don't want her to worry, I don't want her to think of me as a freak, I want her to treat me like a normal little kid, like All children are normal."

Cole's cuteness made people feel distressed, Zuo Si couldn't help but want to touch his head, but just as she stretched out her hand, Cole avoided it.

Zuo Si didn't feel embarrassed, and silently withdrew his hand back.

"I think you should tell your mother about such things. If you don't tell me, how will your mother know that you don't like that kid named Donny?"
