On the second day, I skipped school, but it was not intentional, it was just a helpless fever.Fortunately, I still have the strength to call Tina for help.She was still so blunt and furious, "It's been a while since I saw you, what have you done to yourself?" She came to my house with a medicine box, because my medicine was hopeless, so we both Knowing that the temperature needs to be lowered now, but there is no need to go to the hospital. After all, such a trivial matter as an injection is easy for a registered doctor.

Tina moved the clothes rack to my bed, hung the bottle on it, and then took out a thin needle to poke into the blood vessel on the back of my hand. My whole body was limp and weak, but I didn’t want to close it. eyes.My eyes moved with Tina, not leaving her body for a moment, "Go to sleep, I will be with you." She patted my head and smiled at me.

"Tina, can you help me ask for leave from school?" I motioned to her with difficulty staring at the phone beside the bed.

"Of course, you don't have to worry, I will take care of all these."

Although my body was clamoring for exhaustion, I didn't want to lose the time I spent with Tina when I was awake, "Tina, I don't want to spend time in the endless darkness, can you talk to me?"

She looked at me with pity in her eyes, "Okay, let's drink some water first." Then, Tina went to the kitchen under my guidance, the stove was cold, and there was some cold mineral water in the refrigerator, so she Need to boil water separately.

After doing all that, she moved a stool and sat in front of my bed.She first used her mobile phone to ask my teacher for leave, and promised to bring her hospital certificate when she recovered and returned to school.

My face should be pale, but I still want to smile when I look at her, a strong sense of sourness rushes over, making my nose sore, tears are about to be choked out.Watching her wandering in the sun, I was hit by a feeling of happiness. The softness of my heart is because I am surrounded by love, which is warm.

"Tina, aren't you going to work today?" Doctors are very busy, although I'm glad she can accompany me, but I don't want to delay her work.

"Today happens to be my day off."

"Then I'm not letting you have a good rest." I feel sorry.

"No, I'd love to stay with you. Being with you is also a kind of rest, so don't worry."

Whether she is sincere or just comforting, I feel very comfortable.

But Tina's kindness still confuses me, it's too sudden and intense, "Why are you being so nice to me?" I still asked.

She stared at my face for a moment, then her thoughts drifted far away, and everything became hazy.After a long time, she seemed to wake up from the memory, and touched my head again, "Because I have a good friend, we haven't seen each other for almost 20 years, I don't even know if she is alive or dead, can get Her news is what I have been waiting for a long time ago, and you," she looked through me again, "and you, my dear, you really look alike."

My eyes widened suddenly, and an answer was about to emerge, "Then what's her name." I swallowed, and asked eagerly but scared.

Tina was immersed in the memory, and didn't feel my abnormality. When she slowly spit out the name, I felt like I was struck by lightning, and my whole body was so stiff that I didn't dare to react.

"She is a pure, cheerful and smart oriental girl. At first I looked down on her because she is an oriental, but she won the approval of her classmates and friends with her enthusiasm and hard work, and I gradually Attracted by her, she is like a luminous body, making everyone around me feel warm, and the days with her are always happy", she said, and paused, "You and her really look very similar. Like, the first time I saw you I thought you were her daughter, but then I shook my head, if you were her daughter, why didn't you know me, and you never mentioned her in your mouth. But, your personalities are very different. She is lively and beautiful. Although she looks weak because of her petite figure, she is extremely strong and brave psychologically. But you, my dear child, you always suppress yourself .”

Seeing that Tina had turned her attention back to me, I forced myself to return to a normal look, not wanting her to see the clues. Regarding her evaluation, my eyes flicked left and right, and I dared not look her in the face. Because I couldn't agree to the deep request in her eyes that I want to be happy and cheerful.

"So she, I mean what happened to your friend?" My mother, apart from the memory of birth, it was the first time I was so close to her, and I was very excited.Listening to Tina's story, I seem to be able to see her happy years in the United States, so I want to know more about her.

However, I know that my mother died because of dystocia. Her beauty makes me feel a little desolate. I know the ending, so I want to get close to the short-lived beauty, but I am afraid to know it.

"Later she met a man, that man was very attractive, I also liked that man, and even quarreled with her because of him", thinking of the past, Tina's face appeared some happy colors, youthful years, even if it was troubled or even noisy It is also wonderful.

"Are they together?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"That man."

"I do not know."

"Why don't you know?"

"Hmm..." At this time, the water in the kitchen was boiling, and the alarm sounded harshly, Tina got up and went to the kitchen.There were two glass cups on the tray, and the walls of the cups were steamed with heat.

Tina noticed that the dripping water was finished, she shook the hose, "It will be over soon." She turned her head and told me, but at this moment, my heart is eager to know what happened to my mother and that man, so I want to Tell her to sit down, sit down quickly, but she doesn't dare to show any urgency, her heart is scratching like ants, her heart itches unbearably.

She stared at the tube without blinking. When the last drop of liquid dripped, Tina took out a ball of cotton from the medicine box, then held my hand and pulled out the needle. Wound.

"Thirsty?"

I nodded indiscriminately, Tina skillfully lifted my body, and put a pillow behind me, "Sit down, it will be better." Then she picked up the water glass and blew two breaths, sending the water to my mouth By the way, I am not used to being served by others, so I wanted to take the water glass with my hands, but Tina refused, she said, "Sit still and don't use your hands." So I had to obediently take her hand He drank water embarrassingly.

"anything else?"

"No, thank you." After finishing most of the glass in one go, I felt that my throat became much moister.

"Tina, what happened to your friend and that man?" I was afraid that she had no intention of continuing, so I asked first.

"Both of them disappeared."

"It disappeared, how could it disappear? What happened?" It is impossible for my mother to disappear. If she just disappeared, how could I exist?

"Didn't you go to your friend's hometown to look for it?" Mom must have gone back to China, otherwise she wouldn't have married Dad.

"This is something I have always regretted. I seem to care too little about her family. I only know that she seemed to quarrel with her family in order to be able to come to the United States. I didn't hear her talk much until she disappeared. The thing about the family is that once she was drunk, she hugged me and apologized to my parents, saying that she was too self-willed, but she really wanted to come to the United States, so forgive her and so on.” Tina also wanted to go to her mother’s The hometown inquired about the whereabouts, but because she didn't know the information, and felt that her mother would take the initiative to contact her, she could only wait for the news between anxiety and deliberation.

"Then..." Looking at Tina's guilty expression, I suddenly didn't know what to ask, so my impulse was drowned in chaotic thoughts, and I couldn't say anything.

"Don't think too much. In the past 20 years, I have always prayed to God, hoping that she can live happily and peacefully in a place I don't know, because she is so beautiful." Tina is confessing, she regrets not She should quarrel with her mother. If she knew that her mother would disappear, then she would not quarrel with her best friend for a man.

"Tina, your friend will live well somewhere." I said with a smile, even though I knew it was a lie, but I also wanted to deceive myself, I would rather my mother abandoned me and deceived my father, I hid in a distant place, as long as she was still alive, and also to comfort this woman who had been guilty for 20 years.

The afternoon passed while we were talking, and I was thinking, Tina might be stuck in memories, these memories have been buried in her mind for too long, if it weren't for my mother and I being so similar in appearance, I think she would have put These words carry into the coffin.

The mother's past suddenly became mysterious. Before the father, there was another man involved with the mother. Is there love between them?So does father know?

All of a sudden, it seemed that there was something sprouting in my mind. It felt weird. I couldn't say it, but there must be something, but I couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Tammy", Tina returned to reality, she looked at me and hesitated to speak, and sighed deeply.

"Is it because of my illness?" I knew what she was going to say, because my body was my own, and I knew how worrying my situation was.

"You know, why not pay more attention?"

"Has my time shortened?" Fever is considered a kind of disease. My disease must be more serious once, and the cost of each disease is the reduction of time.

Tina looked at me blankly, and nodded heavily, "I can't say the exact time, but it's not optimistic." I looked at her, without words, "Tammy, make yourself happy, okay?" I Still no answer, because I try to keep life simple, but trouble keeps finding me.

The emergency call from the hospital ended Tina's vacation, she left in a hurry, I even forgot to ask the question in my heart, when did my mother disappear, and who was that man.

I fell into a deep sleep again, thump, thud, when someone knocked on the door, I woke up.

My head was still a little dizzy, "Is anyone there?" A greeting came from the door.

"Wait a minute." Who could it be, I thought as I quickly put on my clothes.

How could it be her? I froze the moment I opened the door, "Why, don't you invite me in?"

"Oh, please come in." In her gorgeous smile, I came back to my senses.Then I saw her walk into my house with big strides.

"Tammy, are you sick? I see that your complexion is not very good, and you didn't go to school today."

"Oh, I'm not feeling well, so I asked the teacher for leave, thank you for your concern." I was puzzled, and I couldn't figure out what the purpose of her coming was.

"Ha, you don't have to be too restrained, this is your home." She teased with a smile.

As if I suddenly realized it, after listening to her words, my whole body relaxed. "Are you puzzled by my arrival, huh?" She winked at me.

"No," I subconsciously denied, but after seeing her knowing eyes, I quickly overturned my answer, "Oh, yes."

"Actually, I'm here for Damon." She walked to the sofa and sat down, "Please bring me a glass of water."
