As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
This phrase perfectly describes his feelings at this moment.
He stood there blankly, while others were waiting in line to make phone calls. They got anxious when they saw that he had finished his call and still wasn't leaving.
The woman behind him shoved him, "Comrade! Move aside! You've finished fighting, please step aside. The people behind us still need to fight!"
He was pushed and only then did he come to his senses. He staggered a couple of steps and walked to the checkout counter.
"Hello comrade, 80 cents!"
He blankly took out some money from his pocket, handed it to her, and turned to leave.
As I left the post office and looked at the setting sun in the sky, I was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Mom and Dad, sister, where have you gone?"
He couldn't find his family, and he didn't have much money, so it would be very difficult for him to stay and regain his Chinese household registration.
After all, he was the one who escaped.
Does he have to go back to Country A with the flower-visiting delegation?
Thinking of this, he recalled the days in Country A when he was starving, cold, and exhausted every day. Without his legal status there, he couldn't even find a decent job. He shuddered. No! He would never go back to that place!
Dragging his weary body, he walked aimlessly step by step.
My mind is a jumbled mess, with many chaotic thoughts forming and dissipating in my head, and I can't find a clue for a long time.
When Bai Yajing went out to eat, she saw the East Asian man from the flower visiting group.
She had originally intended to say hello, but seeing that the other person seemed to have drifted away from their body, with their eyes staring blankly without any target, she immediately gave up the idea of greeting them.
In this state, even if she greets someone, they might not hear her.
After watching him enter the reception area, she went out to eat at the state-run restaurant.
As for how the people from Country A eat, that's not her responsibility; someone will handle that for them.
She ordered her favorite braised pork and a vegetable dish and sat down to wait for her meal.
The dishes had just been served, and before we could even pick them up with our chopsticks, a group of people came over.
Looking up, I saw that the people who were there to greet me had brought the flower-viewing group to the state-run restaurant for a meal.
She didn't care. As the accompanying doctor, she was very free and had a high degree of autonomy unless someone on their team was sick.
However, she couldn't help but glance at the young man again.
I still feel like I've seen him before...
Just then, the young man also looked over as if he had sensed something, and the two were stunned for a moment when their eyes met.
Bai Yajing subconsciously raised her face in greeting.
The other party nodded in response.
They went straight up to the second floor.
After dinner, she returned to the guesthouse, took a shower, and rested.
The weather is pleasantly warm now, and the cool evening breeze blowing in through the window is especially refreshing.
She had a good night's sleep.
Bai Zhijun, however, did not get enough rest in his room on the other side of the second floor of the guesthouse.
I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep properly.
On one hand, I was thinking about finding an opportunity to go back to Shanghai, and on the other hand, I was thinking about what status I should have to stay.
After all, the flower visiting group won't stay for long; they'll return to Country A after their exchange.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the various thoughts in his mind finally stopped, his tired eyelids drooped, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.
