Chapter 54: Memories of the past
Sansa Ran looked at the message on the screen of her cell phone and had an inner turmoil, remembering her childhood friend Bernie Bai, and then fell into a deep memory.
When Sansa Ran’s family and Bernie Bai’s family were neighbors, and the two went to the same school, the adults of both families were very good friends. One day after school, Bernie Bai’s parents couldn’t pick him up because of something, so they asked Sansa Ran’s parents to bring him back with them.
On the way there, the two children were very playful in the company of each other.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Sansa Ran’s mother kept greeting from behind, “Take it easy, don’t run away.”
Bernie Bai pulled Sansa Ran to run forward despite the adults’ advice, but she fell and broke the skin on her knee.
I still remember Bernie Bai’s face was panicked and he kept apologizing to himself: “Sansa, how are you? Does it hurt? I’m sorry.”
At that time, Sansa Ran’s mother took Sansa Ran to the hospital and performed a simple bandage. For the next few days, her mother did not allow Sansa Ran to go anywhere to prevent her wounds from getting infected.
It was a boring few days at home, but Bernie Bai used to visit Sansa Ran with some new things.
With a childish smile on her face, Bernie Bai secretly took out a paper-folded crane from the back and said happily, “Sansa, look what I’ve learned, it’s for you!”
Sansa Ran was still a little angry that she couldn’t go out to play and said sullenly, “What’s the use of this? I can’t go out.”
Bernie Bai immediately lost his smile and said with an apology, “Sansa, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t pulled you to run, you wouldn’t have fallen.”
Sansa Ran looked at Bernie Bai’s frowning face and shook her head, saying, “It’s okay, we’ll play together when I’m better. You don’t have to frown all the time, it doesn’t look good at all.”
Bernie Bai spent all the time with Sansa Ran except for school and sleep, fearing that she would get bored. At that time, Sansa Ran did not feel bored because she had someone with her.
One day Bernie Bai came to Sansa Ran with tears in her eyes, and Sansa Ran panicked when she saw Bernie Bai crying. Sansa Ran looked at Bernie Bai who was crying and panicked. She panicked and took some paper to wipe Bernie Bai’s tears and asked, “What’s wrong with you? It was Mr. Bai who hit you.”
Bernie Bai didn’t know what to say to Sansa Ran at that time, she just kept on crying.
Sansa Ran looked at Bernie Bai crying and thought he had been beaten by his father. He said with conviction, “Bernie Bai, don’t cry, let’s go and talk to Mr. Bai together.”
Bernie Bai pulled Sansa Ran, who was about to go out, and said, “Don’t you go, it’s not like that.”
Sansa Ran kept handing Bernie Bai tissues, but no matter how much she asked Bernie Bai, she didn’t answer, so Sansa Ran decided to use her best trick and said, “If you don’t talk to me, I will never play with you again.”
Bernie Bai wiped her red and swollen eyes and choked up, “My dad says we’re moving, what if I never see you again?”
Sansa Ran also burst into tears when she said this.
Sansa Ran’s parents happened to be busy and would not be back until noon today, so Bernie Bai looked at the crying Sansa Ran and panicked, but kept saying, “Don’t cry! I don’t want to leave either.”
Sansa Ran has been a crybaby since she was a child, and once she started crying, no one could stop her. Bernie Bai didn’t know how to comfort Sansa Ran, and just kept handing her paper.
Sansa Ran cried for half an hour, the tears finally stopped, but the eyes were swollen like walnuts. Helplessly asked: “So now what? I don’t want you to leave, who will I play with if you leave?”
Bernie Bai, knowing that she could not change her parents’ decision, said sadly, “I don’t want to go either, but my mom said we have to move out.
Sansa Ran was so frightened that she burst into tears again.
Bernie Bai was at her wits’ end, and thinking of the beautiful flowers her grandmother had planted, she said, “Don’t cry, the roses my grandmother planted are finally blooming. Let’s go pick one together and give it to you, then you’ll remember me when you see the flowers.”
Sansa Ran stopped crying, opened her big eyes and asked, “I don’t want that flower, can you not leave?”
Bernie Bai also wanted to stay and grow up with the little girl who cried so much. Bernie Bai twisted her fingers and whispered, “They said they were moving out in a few days, and I told them I didn’t want to go, but they didn’t want to.”
The feelings of childhood are the simplest, which does not contain any trace of impurities.
When Sansa Ran’s tears were about to fall, Bernie Bai took Sansa Ran’s hand and said, “Get up, my mom and the others aren’t home right now, I’ll go pick one for you. When you see the flower, you will think of me.”
Sansa Ran raised her hand and wiped her tears with her sleeve, choking back a sob, “What if the flowers are gone by then?”
Bernie Bai frowned and said, “Let’s take it to the sun and make dried flowers.”
Bernie Bai pulled Sansa Ran into the back garden of her house, where a rose bush was growing.
The two children squatted on the ground and looked at the rose. The flower was beautiful, except that it had a flowering period and would always fade.
Sansa Ran liked the flower at first glance and nudged Bernie Bai, who was next to her, and said, “What kind of flower did Granny Bai plant? Why are they so beautiful?”
Bernie Bai looked at the rose in front of her and remembered the conversation between her grandmother and her mother, and said, “I heard my grandmother mention something called Juliette Rose.
Sansa Ran hesitantly took Bernie Bai’s hand and said, “Are you going to be scolded?”
Bernie Bai was a little scared when she remembered how much her grandmother loved the flower, but then she shook her head and said, “No, my grandmother loves the flower, but she won’t blame me for it.”
Sansa Ran believed it and let Bernie Bai cut the flower.
Sansa Ran looked at the flower in her hand and instead of loving it, she looked down sadly and said, “Bernie Bai, what if the flower is still there and we never see it again?”
Bernie Bai was sad to think that she might never see Sansa Ran again, and fearing that Sansa Ran might cry again, she put on a calm face and said, “Why not? You have to believe that we will meet again later, make sure you keep the flowers, otherwise what if I don’t recognize you then?”
