The sunlight shone through the gauze curtains onto her, outlining her soft silhouette, but her heart was far less bright than the sunlight.
The Miss Hong Kong pageant hype, Mr. Huo's overtures, Grandpa's invitation to Lin Huowang, his mother's worried and hesitant look before going to work in the morning, and his own illness...
All these things entangled her like a tangled thread, making it impossible for her to truly calm down even when holding a book.
Just then, the old black Siemens telephone in the living room began to ring clearly and continuously.
The maid, Wu Ma, was wiping the antique vase in the next room. When she heard the bell, she put down her work and walked over quickly.
At the same time, in the side hall not far from the living room, Liu Rumeng was also disturbed by the sudden ringing of the bell.
Just as Aunt Wu walked over to the phone and before she picked up the receiver, Liu Rumeng subconsciously leaned out from the side hall: "Aunt Wu, let me do it."
She wanted to find something to do to relieve the chaos in her heart.
Aunt Wu stopped and nodded respectfully: "Okay, cousin."
Liu Rumeng walked quickly to the phone, picked up the heavy black receiver with her slender white hand, put the receiver close to her ear, and said "Hello" softly.
In the receiver, the distorted voice, which had been distorted by the electric current, was silent for a second. Just when Liu Rumeng thought the other party would introduce himself.
A deep and uncontrollable excited voice that she had been thinking about day and night and engraved in her bones suddenly broke through the barrier of the telephone line without any warning, hitting her eardrum clearly and slamming into her heart fiercely!
"Mengmeng! It's me."
It’s him!!!
Awang!!!
My Awang!
…
The whole world seemed to be silent in an instant.
The chirping of birds outside the window, the faint footsteps of the servants, and even the wind blowing outside the window, all disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Liu Rumeng's fingers suddenly clenched the cold receiver, and her knuckles turned white from the force.
That nickname that couldn't be more familiar, the name that she had suppressed in her heart and dared not call out for countless late nights, had violently torn through the barriers of time and space and arrived without any warning!
A boiling hot current rushed up from the deepest part of her heart, instantly penetrating her chest and reaching her eye sockets.
The tears that gushed out were completely uncontrollable, like a flood that broke through a dam, instantly filling her clear eyes.
It condensed into a string on the long eyelashes, and then rolled down the white jade cheek without any hindrance, like pearls that had broken off the string, "brush" and rolled down, one drop, two drops...
The tears fell heavily on the back of her hand holding the receiver, and seemed to break through all the disguise and strength she had carefully maintained since coming to Hong Kong Island.
“…”
At this moment, Liu Rumeng really has thousands of words to express her longing in her heart.
But his throat seemed to be blocked by something hard and he couldn't make any sound.
Only warm tears flowed silently and continuously, wetting the temples.
The voice that had been haunting her dreams finally crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, penetrated all the noise and glitz, and reached her ears.
Missing, grievance, fear, love...
All kinds of feelings suddenly exploded in her heart, sweeping and drowning her whole body.
In her world, the only thing left was the subtle sound of electricity coming from the receiver and the call that made her heart tremble: "Mengmeng! It's me!"
…
"Ah...Awang...I knew you would come to find me."
With sobs and surprise, Liu Rumeng responded softly in excitement.
