Chapter 72 Hello, Stranger
The snow is so heavy.
Ning Zhiran left several footprints in the snow and jumped a few times.
But this action did not stop his tears at all. Instead, like a flood that had been released, more and more little pearls fell.
Today is Tuesday and I should be going to school.
But Ning Zhiran was afraid of running into Gong Huai. He was afraid.
He would definitely soften his heart when he saw Gong Huai. Definitely. That man only knew how to bewitch others with his words, staring at him with those big, wet, puppy-dog eyes.
By that time, there would be no way back for him except to be eaten.
Before going out, Ning Zhiran thought of many places to hide, but in the end, he chose to go to the amusement park.
The amusement park I went to with Gong Huai.
Ning Zhiran bought a ticket and followed the queuing crowd to enter the park.
His phone was full of messages from Gong Huai. Some he read, some he didn't dare to read.
I'm sorry, you pretentious guy. Although I know you don't like eating alone, from now on, at least until you find a new girlfriend, you will have to eat alone.
I don't like eating alone either...
Ning Zhiran was sniffing bubbles from her snot and strolling around the amusement park with a wronged look on her face.
He didn't want to play any of the projects, he just wanted to stay in there for a while, calm down and take a walk.
It was so cold that even the pigeons were nowhere to be seen.
Ning Zhiran walked and stopped, first bought a hamburger at a fast food restaurant inside, ate it alone, then found a fountain and stared blankly.
Yes, it was so cold that there was no water in the fountains, only a thin layer of ice and fallen snow.
It's so cold, what is the dead pretender doing...
Ning Zhiran comforted herself, yes, you just want to take a look at the time, so she picked up her phone.
From WeChat to Yesheng, the screen is full of Gong Huai.
Gong Huai. Gong Huai. Gong Huai.
Gong Huai. Gong Huai. Gong Huai.
Some looked calm. Some were clearly furious. Some threatened. Some pleaded.
You idiot, why are you doing this? You're the one who's supposed to be high and mighty, the one who's supposed to inherit the family business and carry on the family line. Why are you tangling with me, a crybaby whose family is bankrupt and can't even give you a child?
Ning Zhiran sniffed heavily.
And Gong Huai is still sending it.
Maybe it's because he has tried all the methods and none of them worked, so Gong Huai just keeps repetitively and mechanically refreshing the screen with just a few short sentences.
Ning Zhiran, where are you?
…
Where are you.
Where are you.
Ning Zhiran was really upset by this situation. He couldn't bear to watch it and replied.
—I’m in the happiest place in the world. Goodbye.
Okay. Ning Zhiran. Look. You shouldn't have looked at your phone. It's okay now. It hurts, doesn't it?
Ning Zhiran found a bench, stretched out his legs, and sat down in a splayed position. He felt a little cold after sitting for a while, so he lowered his head and stuffed his hands in his pockets before he felt a little warmer.
Look at her. What kind of relationship is this? And she's dating a man. And she's dating such a rich man.
Look at it. He came out publicly in front of your mother, left her out for two days, and she still hasn't adjusted to face it. He also turned the perfectly normal Gong Huai into a lunatic.
You are really not a human being, Ning Zhiran.
You keep scolding Gong Huai. I think you are also a bad guy.
But it's great that the relationship between Gong Huai and his father was not ruined...
Ning Zhiran looked up in the snow.
The mascot of the amusement park is a big rabbit. Several staff members are wearing big rabbit doll costumes and waving awkwardly to the tourists.
Ah. Looks so fluffy. So warm.
A big rabbit discovered Ning Zhiran, walked over, waved at Ning Zhiran, and simply turned around and danced.
Cute bunny. Go away.
I am still immersed in sadness and have no time to smile at you.
Ning Zhiran put her hands in her pockets, hid her head in her scarf, walked forward silently, and shook off the big rabbit.
It’s so cold.
Or, let me drink some wine and warm myself up, as a commemoration of my lost chastity and love.
and……
First love.
Ning Zhiran found a small shop. Because he was small, the staff checked his ID and confirmed that he was over 18 years old before they were willing to sell him a bottle of vodka.
Where to drink?
Ning Zhiran walked around with the vodka in his hand, waited in line for a while, and then boarded the Ferris wheel in the amusement park.
Yes, this place is good. The pretentious guy is still here. I vomited at his ugliness.
The Ferris wheel slowly rose, and the vast white land below became clearer and clearer. Ning Zhiran sat alone in the car, looking down, then at the empty opposite side, and raised the vodka in his hand.
"Well, cheers, dead pretender."
Ning Zhiran raised the bottle and took a big sip.
The wine is spicy, but the spiciness in my heart seems to overshadow the taste of the wine, making the wine seem like transparent sweet water.
Didn't you come out to Lily at that time?
Then why do you still feel disgusted by my ugliness?
Isn’t it said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?
That's really strange. But this person can't be judged by objective standards. Hmm.
The Ferris wheel turned a circle in the sky and brought Ning Zhiran back to the ground.
Ning Zhiran continued walking forward with the wine in his hand.
Then one person played with the pendulum.
roller coaster.
Pirate ship.
A rotating swing flying in the sky.
They were all projects they had played together before.
Ning Zhiran should have been happy because he spent more time in the sky than on the ground, but he was not. Even the screams of the tourists around him failed to cheer him up.
Because Ning Zhiran realized something in heaven.
When they returned from the amusement park, he and G scolded Gong Huai for being disgusted by their ugliness and calling him a complete pretentious guy.
And G seemed to say...
Gong Huai, could it be that you are afraid of heights?
ah.
So you don't dare to play with these things at all.
You are here to accompany me.
Is that so?
When we were on the Ferris wheel, you weren't disgusted by my ugliness, you were just afraid of heights...
Is that so?
On the rotating swing, everyone was screaming with joy.
Only Ning Zhiran sat there quietly, with transparent and crystal beads floating out of her eyes and scattering into the sky.
Why is it that even when we go out to play, I can always find evidence that you like me?
Why.
There really are two...
What a stupid, stupid idiot.
In one morning, Ning Zhiran tried all the activities that he had played with Gong Huai.
Maybe it was the alcohol that made him braver, he actually stood in front of the haunted house that had made him look so foolish, holding a bottle of wine.
That’s right, even without that dead guy, I can do it alone!
Ning Zhiran left the wine at the door and queued up to go in.
It was still pitch black inside as always.
Still as scary as ever.
A haunted television. A hallway filled with old dolls. A ceiling filled with female ghosts.
Ning Zhiran felt the long-lost surge of adrenaline. He narrowed his eyes and tried to move forward, little by little.
Come on, Ning Zhiran.
There is no one to clear the way for you or protect you. There is no more pretender, there will be no more pretender in the future. You have to learn to walk forward in the darkness alone.
…but it’s so scary.
...Oh no, I'm still afraid of ghosts.
Ning Zhiran was blown by the cold wind inside, and all the hairs on her body stood up. No, no, I can't go any further, I have to find a way out quickly. Ahhhh!
He walked around inside, trying to find a staff member who could tell him where the safe passage was so he could leave early.
Fortunately, he met a big furry rabbit.
But this rabbit is holding a writing tablet in his hand, which is different from the big rabbits outside.
Ning Zhiran quickly said in English: "It's so dark and scary here, I want to go out."
Big Rabbit lowered his head and wrote a word on the writing board.
Okay.
Ning Zhiran slapped the rabbit anxiously: "What are you still writing? Take me away!"
So the rabbit turned around and took Ning Zhiran around inside, and finally found a safe exit.
Ah, the sky outside is so bright and the snow is so beautiful. I am alive and I will never do stupid things again.
Ning Zhiran said goodbye to the big rabbit, went to the door to retrieve his bottle of wine, took a sip from the bottle, and walked forward again.
And the big rabbit followed him all the time.
He walked forward, and Big Rabbit walked too.
He stopped, and the big rabbit stopped too.
Ning Zhiran frowned and turned back: "Hey, why are you following me?"
The big rabbit began to write in English: You are drinking and look like you need help. The administrator asked me to keep an eye on you.
Ning Zhiran deliberately laughed twice: "I don't need it, you can go."
The big rabbit shook his head, indicating that he was afraid to leave.
Ning Zhiran: "Okay, then just follow me."
He continued walking with a somewhat drunken gait. After a few steps, he passed by a vending machine.
Ning Zhiran asked in English: "Hey, rabbit, you've been following me for so long, are you thirsty? Can I buy you a bottle of water?"
Rabbit wrote: We can't drink tourists' water or eat tourists' food. There are regulations.
Ning Zhiran nodded thoughtfully, and strolled around the amusement park with the big rabbit.
In the end, Ning Zhiran was a little unable to walk, so he took the vodka and found a bench to sit down.
The big rabbit held the writing board and sat down on the ground nearby.
This was indeed a very strange scene, so strange that Ning Zhiran had to take another sip of wine to ignore the rabbit.
As the alcohol started to take effect, Ning Zhiran hunched her back and began to shed tears silently.
After falling for a while, he found that the big rabbit next to him was also not right. The rabbit was also twitching and seemed to be crying.
Ning Zhiran asked the rabbit in English: "Why are you crying?"
Big rabbit wrote: Then why are you crying?
Ning Zhiran said: "I'm heartbroken."
Big Rabbit: Me too.
Ning Zhiran raised her head and cried loudly: "Do you want me to share some wine with you?"
The big rabbit shook his head and wrote: Are you cold?
Ning Zhiran frowned and shook his head like a big rabbit.
The big rabbit wrote in English: Why would you come to the amusement park alone on a weekday morning and drink so much? Is it really because of a broken heart?
Ning Zhiran remembered that the other big rabbits could dance in circles, so he said, "Dance for me and I'll tell you."
Big Nutbrown Hare did as he was told and danced awkwardly in a circle.
It was really clumsy and a bit ugly, so ugly that it made Ning Zhiran laugh.
Ning Zhiran half-covered her mouth with one hand, her shoulders trembling, and said, "Okay, okay, just sit down. I see you're quite free anyway. Since you've danced for me, I'll tell you a story."
The big rabbit was a little tired, so he sat back on the ground and gasped for breath, but he didn't forget to write "OK".
Ning Zhiran said while drinking, "Once upon a time, there was a big fool who met another big fool."
"Two people are equally stupid. But they are stupid in different ways. One is a selfless fool, and the other is a dull fool."
"It took a long time for the slow-witted fool to realize that the selfless fool was so good."
"Now the slow-witted fool regrets it. But for the sake of the selfless fool's future, I decided to leave him."
The big rabbit was puzzled and wrote: Why did you leave that person?
Ning Zhiran was stunned for a second, then covered her mouth with her hands and laughed awkwardly: "Ahahaha, you saw through it all."
Big Rabbit: “…”
Ning Zhiran: "Okay, okay, I won't hide it from you. My boyfriend, oh no, ex! My ex-boyfriend's family is very rich. If I, a man, am with him, it will affect his future. You are just a rabbit, well, you don't understand, you are not a spirit yet."
The big rabbit tilted his head and wrote: Why will it affect his future?
Ning Zhiran thought for a moment, took a sip of wine, and said with blushing cheeks, "If two men are together, who will have children? Who will inherit the family business in the future?"
The big rabbit was silent and didn't seem to understand: Have you asked his opinion?
Ning Zhiran: "What's the point of asking? Will I get pregnant if I ask?"
His nose started bubbling again.
The big rabbit took out a tissue from his belly pocket, handed it to Ning Zhiran, and continued writing: Why not think of a solution with him?
Ning Zhiran patted the rabbit on the head and said, "You rabbit, don't you understand human language? Tell me how to solve this problem? Even if I change my sex, I can't give birth to a child."
The big rabbit tapped the small board in his hand with a stylus: Adopt it.
Ning Zhiran was stunned and looked at the big rabbit seriously: "No way, can his family accept this?"
Big Rabbit wrote: If he loves you enough, even if his family does not accept it, he will try to make everyone accept it.
“…”
Ning Zhiran nodded: "I seem to..."
I understand what you mean.
Fool.
Ning Zhiran patted the person next to him and said, "Big rabbit, don't sit on the ground. It's cold. Sit on my bench instead."
The big rabbit said that the doll costume was too big and there was no room for sitting on the bench.
Ning Zhiran came down with the wine bottle: "Then I'll sit next to you."
He sat down in the snow. Oh, it was really cold.
Ning Zhiran turned her head to look at the big rabbit, and got very close to it: "Baby rabbit, are you still crying?"
Big Rabbit nodded.
Ning Zhiran reached out and hugged the rabbit: "Don't cry, or you'll turn into a spirit."
The big rabbit was startled and wrote on the writing board in panic: No physical contact with the staff.
Ning Zhiran buried his head in the furry arms of the big rabbit, rubbed it for a while, took a deep breath, tried to smell the scent of the big rabbit, and said a little proudly:
"Big Rabbit, that man didn't do anything, but he made me so angry and sad. But now I think I can forgive him."
"In fact, I know in my heart that I am much more wrong than him. I also need a chance to apologize to him. Rather than forgiving him, I need him to forgive me more."
Rabbit wrote: Then why don’t you try it?
Ning Zhiran: "I also want to tell him..."
"Actually, whether it's G or Momo, it's fine if they approach me without wearing a mask."
“Because I really like the real him.”
Hearing this, the big rabbit shrank back.
Ning Zhiran didn't give the big rabbit any chance to escape. He sat up straight, raised his hands, and took off the big rabbit's hood.
He was stunned for a moment, then suppressed the sadness in his heart, kissed the person inside on the mouth, and then gave the person a warm and sunny smile:
"From now on, remember to face me with your true self. So..."
"Hello, stranger."
"Don't cry, would you like to introduce yourself to me again?"
