London was a country that was less affected by sea level rise. The cold climate made the sea monsters not as frequent as the countries near the equator.
The ring-shaped petals of Angela blossomed like a sky full of stars, filling the streets and alleys. The scattered courtyards looked especially elegant, and the fragrance filled the air. Walking on the ancient stone steps, one would feel relaxed and happy, and the complicated feelings in one's heart would dissipate.
"Come out for a walk and breathe some fresh air. It will be good for your recovery." Mo Jiaxing said.
It was rare for the sun to come out. Under the sun, every cluster of Chinese roses looked so bright. Mo Jiaxing subconsciously took out his phone to take a photo of Ye Chang. He didn't know why, but he felt that Ye Chang didn't look like a complete oriental, especially when she was wearing a retro wool hat. Her face was even similar to some delicate British women.
"Don't!" Ye Chang immediately covered her face with the hat.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot again. You don't like to take photos." Mo Jiaxing hurriedly put away his phone.
Continuing to walk up the stairs, at the highest point, there was a private observation deck. It was completely made of tempered glass. Through the transparent fence, one could see the bustling streets.
"I'm a little tired. Sit here for a while." Ye Chang said.
"Okay, what do you want to drink?"
"Tea."
… …
After ordering, Mo Jiaxing sat opposite Ye Chang. Coincidentally, his phone rang at this time.
When Mo Jiaxing saw that it was Mo Fan, he happily planned to pick it up.
But at this time, Ye Chang's eyes had an obvious change. She stared at him with a strange indifference.
Mo Jiaxing smiled and said, "I know, but this is my son's call. I have to pick it up."
"Dad, where are you having fun?" Mo Fan asked.
"I'm having afternoon tea. You're not in any danger, right? I heard about those things in the country." Mo Jiaxing said.
"What can happen to me? You, on the other hand, spend these days in the UK. There won't be a large-scale attack by the sea monsters for the time being … Right, I heard that there are many older beauties in the UK. Find yourself a companion. I don't mind having a stepmother." Mo Fan said with a smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to worry about. I'm hanging up. "Mo Jiaxing hung up the phone.
"I heard a girl's laughter. Dad, stop pretending."
"Next table, I'm hanging up, I'm hanging up."
…
Mo Jiaxing hung up the phone and looked up at Ye Chang.
Ye Chang returned to her original appearance, soft and weak with a melancholic expression.
Mo Jiaxing knew that she had a lot of strange rules, and he also knew that she didn't want to appear in anyone's sight or discussion.
She was like a person who had wrapped herself in a large suit. At the same time, as long as he violated the rules, she would suddenly disappear from the face of the earth, never to be found again.
Therefore, even if Mo fan called, Mo Jiaxing would not mention it, fearing that she would disappear again.
"This tea tastes terrible." Ye Chang took a sip, but swallowed it with a painful expression. "I remember now. The jasmine tea you make is very delicious."
"Ah?? You remember? Okay, okay. I'll be right back. "Mo Jiaxing's face was full of smiles. He didn't think that Ye Chang would remember such a small detail.
Actually, this jasmine tea was Mo fan's mother's favorite. However, she had a weak constitution and left early. Mo Jiaxing would often make it himself to drink. Who knew that after Ye Chang came, she would also like this taste.
It had been so many years. There were some things that even Mo Jiaxing himself had almost forgotten.
…
The sun was shining brightly. There was a small shadow under a large cluster of Chinese roses.
In the shadow stood a person who almost completely blended into the background. Those who were enjoying their afternoon tea did not notice this person's existence.
"You called me." The shadowy silhouette made a very, very soft sound.
"Spread the news that the Pope is dead." Ye Chang said in a low voice.
"Okay."
The shadowy silhouette quickly disappeared. At this time, a steaming yellow jasmine petal cup was placed in front of Ye Chang.
"Who are you talking to?" Mo Jiaxing asked.
"A kitten. It went in." Ye Chang pointed under the flowerbed.
"You seem to remember a lot of things. It's not like the first day when you didn't even remember who you were." Mo Jiaxing smiled and didn't mind.
"There are many people in this world who try to find me. But sometimes, even I don't know who I am." Ye Chang replied.
"You always say these strange things. Although I don't know your past and you never mention it, people can't always be entangled in the past. Look at the flowers more, drink more tea, think more about things that make you happy. How nice it is to just let the days pass. "Mo Jiaxing spoke of his optimistic lifestyle.
"I want to as well, but there are some things that if I don't complete them, every time I try to live the kind of life you speak of, they will grab my heart like a demon and strangle my throat, making me suffer so much that I wish I was dead." Ye Chang took a sip of tea. Compared to the initial lifeless look in her eyes, there was a sharpness to them.
"Then when can you finish? Is there anything I can help you with?" Mo Jiaxing asked seriously.
Ye Chang shook her head.
In fact, Mo Jiaxing had always been a hindrance.
"I'm leaving. Thank you for the jasmine tea." Ye Chang stood up.
"Oh, oh. Let's go back. It's really windy outside. It's easy to catch a cold." Mo Jiaxing nodded.
"What I mean is, I'm leaving." Ye Chang explained.
"Ah?"
"I have to finish those things." Ye Chang said.
"But … it's not easy for us. Also, Xinxia is now an adult. I was just about to take you to see her. She's in Greece now." Mo Jiaxing said with some surprise.
"I've seen her." Ye Chang said.
Mo Jiaxing suddenly became anxious. He searched his mind for all the excuses he could think of, but he didn't know what excuse to use to keep her.
He thought he would never see this woman again in his life. Unexpectedly, they met abroad. He thought their fate from more than ten years ago could still be continued. But in less than half a month, she was leaving again.
He, Mo Jiaxing, might not have a second more than ten years.
"I know. I'm a very ordinary person. I can't come in contact with and can't understand your world. But … but, I want to say that I won't disturb you, and I won't appear in places I shouldn't be. If one day, you don't know where to go, or if you've forgotten a lot of things, you can come find me. I'll continue to wait for you. "Mo Jiaxing looked at her back.
"Okay. I always have nowhere to go."
