A curtain of dream

One month later, on a bland afternoon.

I am sitting on the terrace in a wheelchair, holding a palette in my left hand and a paintbrush in my right hand, looking at the scenery outside the terrace, and slowly daubing colors on the white drawing paper.In front of my eyes is the unique golden hue of late autumn. Under the warm sunshine, it exudes a faint fragrance of trees.

Regarding the set of painting utensils I am using now, although it is not signed, I think I know whose handwriting it is.He has already left my life, but he still left it to me. The care he can give, this is the unique warmth of a mature man, and ripples gently ripple in my heart.No matter how many insinuating inquiries my parents made, I kept my mouth shut about the giver's name.

I have been discharged from the hospital in a blink of an eye. For more than a month, I have been immersed in painting. Many things seem so insignificant. When I think about it carefully, I even find it ridiculous.Ziling has been alienated from me since I scolded her unbearably that day. I have not been able to let go of her alienation as I thought before. Although the sisterhood is still there, I feel disheartened. Maybe everyone There is a mistake, but she, or Chu Lian, has nothing to do with me.I looked up at the blue sky, the floating clouds as light as tulle, floating on it, such a refreshing autumn scenery.The youthful and indifferent feelings in my childhood, at least in my youth, just disappeared in the complex family relationship and heroic car accident. Since the day I came out of the hospital, I know that many things are different.

Axiu's voice came from behind, saying: Miss, Mr. Luo is here.

When I turned my head, I saw a small basket with a lid in his hand, and I smiled: You are here!

He nodded.

I said to Axiu: Make a cup of coffee for Mr. Luo, and pour me another glass of water.

Axiu nodded and said: By the way, miss, it's time to take medicine!Let me bring it to you!

I laughed and watched Axiu enter the room. Luo Dongjie walked up to me, looked at the paintings on the drawing board, and said: Are you not tired of drawing every day?

I pointed to the chairs on the terrace and said: Sit down!

He pulled up the chair and sat down, put the little basket on his lap, and said: Every time I come, you are drawing.

I twirled my paintbrush around my palette, trying to get a sepia tone, and said: Have fun.Because of the injury, my mother is very accommodating and I can paint every day, I feel very happy.

He looked at my face, his eyes shining, for a moment, coughed, and said: I brought you a small gift.

In fact, I have been a little curious for a long time, but I have been suppressing my curiosity. Hearing this, I turned my head to look at the little basket without taking my eyes off it.

He laughed and said: Your eyes are really scary.

I stretched out my hand, touched the basket, and said, "What little gift is it?"Every time you come to see me, you bring something interesting, and I start to expect you to come to see me once a week.

He just smiled and said nothing.

Luo Dongjie came to see me after he was discharged from the hospital, but for some reason, his father didn't like it very much and asked Luo Dongjie not to come again. In the end, I interceded with my mother and persuaded my father to allow him to visit me once a week.I sigh, Dad, it seems that something is different after my car accident, but what is different, but I can’t tell, he is just busier. He came back almost midnight every day, his face was exhausted, his mother loved him, and asked Axiu to make soup for him and prepare supper.It’s just that Dad went to the study when he came home. He was often busy until the early hours of the morning. When he was tired, he would sleep on the sofa in the study. Mom told him several times, but there was no other way, so he had to temporarily build a bed for him in the study...

Why are you in a daze?Luo Dongjie asked.

Only then did I realize that I was distracted staring at the little basket, and I laughed and said: No, I was just guessing what you would give me.

He lowered his head and opened the lid of the small basket, a fluffy head was exposed, it was a gray puppy with a round face, like a little bear, staring at me with jet-black eyes. He smiled slightly and said: For you.

I put down the palette and paintbrush, took a wet cloth to wipe off the stained paint on my hands, and then stretched out my hand to hug the puppy from Luo Dongjie, and said, "It's so cute!"

He watched me pick up the puppy and said: It's boring to stay all day, just play with it!

I kept saying ummm, it's over, look at him, he is staring at me, his focused eyes made me afraid to look at each other, I bowed my head and kissed the puppy, and said: Thank you, I like it very much.

He nodded.

The puppy was not much bigger than my hand, dangling its limbs in my hand, with short legs, and the whole body looked like a little fur ball.I laugh.

Luo Dongjie looked at me quietly, without saying a word, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Axiu came over with a tray, handed the coffee to Luo Dongjie, and handed me a bowl of medicine. I took it and hesitated for a while. He looked at me and said: Afraid of suffering?

I sighed and said: Are you not afraid?

He was silent for a while, and said: I am afraid, but the medicine is bitter.

I lowered my head, smelled the smell of the medicine, and hesitated.

Axiu was at the side, persuading: Miss, drink it, I can take it to wash the dishes.

I sighed and said: Every time I take the medicine, I have to make a lot of mental preparations. The medicine specially prepared by my mother really made me miserable!

Luo Dongjie laughed, and even the little puppy rolled in my arms, barking a few times as if laughing at me.He took out a small piece of chocolate from his pocket and said, "Drink that medicine, this is for you."

I was taken aback, looked at the Dove chocolate in his hand, smiled bitterly and said: Then you don’t need dark chocolate, do you?Bitterness adds to bitterness.

He laughed: It is better to fight poison with fire.

I didn't say a word, I counted from one to ten in my heart, held my breath and drank the medicine in one go.He took out another piece of chocolate from his pocket, peeled off the outer packaging, and handed it to me. I opened my mouth and ate it. I was taken aback, it was sweet.

Without changing his face, he peeled off the one he took out before, ate it, and said: Isn't it so bitter?

I handed the bowl to Axiu, the taste of medicine mixed with the sweetness of chocolate in my mouth, but a strange taste melted in my heart.I pet the puppy and lower my eyes.
