When the taxi arrived, the sky was completely overcast.
In front of the splendid entrance of the Beijing Suburban Museum, Lara got into the old green taxi parked in front of her just before the last fallen leaf fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, girl, I went to the south to deliver a package. Your place is really far away. It took a long time to drive here. Are you not wet? Let's go back now."
The driver was an old man in his fifties, a native of Beijing, who spoke very well in Beijing. He was very enthusiastic and apologized for being late as soon as he saw her. His attitude was sincere and sincere, and he was very afraid of getting a bad review.
Lara Wen glanced at the uncle with almost gray hair, smiled and said it was okay.
She was a little tired after standing for too long. As soon as she got in the car, she slumped down in the back seat. She didn't even bother to look at her phone and looked out the window without saying a word.
This piece of land is remote and the scenery is beautiful. It is completely appropriate for the museum to be built here. It looks like a work of art from a distance.
Working here will probably make you feel better.
But just now, she submitted her resignation application.
The car drove slowly, and Lara gradually closed her eyes while the driver downloaded a slightly dated song broadcast.
Perhaps because of the long journey, she fell asleep and had a dream.
The dream was during the summer vacation when she was sixteen years old, when she and her mother were still living in Beixian County.
The heat was unbearable. She couldn't stand the old and slow-moving fan at home, so she went to the house of a close family friend from her father's generation to do her homework. Her uncles and aunts went out to work for a long time and did not come home. She only had a brother who was three years older than her and had graduated from high school. Live here. Lara was grateful for his care, and because she was too playful, she fell behind a lot in her studies, so the brother helped her with her homework. Towards the afternoon, two of my brother's female classmates came to the house as guests, and they even offered to help cook dinner together.
She was familiar with her and chatted with a very cheerful sister for a long time. Later, he and another long-haired girl were the only ones left in the kitchen.
Lara planned to go to the refrigerator to get a can of yogurt, but when she walked to the door, she heard an uneasy conversation in the kitchen.
"I've liked you for so many years, and I don't want to have such a secret crush on you again..."
She didn't hear the rest of the words clearly, but the male protagonist firmly refused.
"Si Nan, don't waste your time on me. You know I never have any other thoughts about you."
The boy's voice was clear and gentle, with firmness in it.
Outside the glass door, Lara consciously interrupted and prepared to step back cautiously. As soon as she moved away, she heard the girl who had spoken softly just now change her tone, raised her voice slightly, and asked sharply.
"Then who do you like?"
"Is that the little girl outside who is not yet an adult?!"
At that moment, she was as frozen as a stone, as if she was spying on some terrible secret, and she hurriedly turned around and ran away.

Lara was woken up by a sudden brake.
When I looked up again, it was already raining outside. The car windows were washed away by the constant rain, and my vision was unclear. Everything I saw was extremely hazy.
The highway was closed to traffic, so the driver had to change the original route, but at a slower pace. It would probably be late at night when he arrived at the hospital.
Lara opened her phone and sent a message.
She was really worried about Claire who was alone in the hospital.
[Mom, have you finished all the examinations? It may be a little late if it rains. 】
It took less than thirty seconds to send the WeChat message, and the other party responded quickly.
[Don't be anxious, I'm fine, ask the driver to drive slowly, safety is important! 】
After receiving her mother's response, her tense heart gradually eased. Growing up, what she hated most was rainy days.
The most important memories in her life were all on rainy days, which more or less left some psychological shadow on her. The fear deep in her heart also came from the tragedy of her childhood.
But adults often don’t have time to grieve over the spring and autumn. They always have to solve one problem after another. For her, going to the hospital to accompany her mother this morning is the most important thing right now.
So this rain could only occupy the very edge of the few emotions in her heart.
When we arrived at the hospital, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
The taxi could only go as far as the gate, which was still some distance away from the hospital building. Lara didn't bring an umbrella. After getting out of the car, she picked up her backpack and put it on her head for cover, jumped over the puddle and hurried forward.
It wasn't a long distance, but the rain was too heavy, and most of my coat was already wet when I arrived at the door of the hospital building.
She shook off the water on her body, took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her face. She paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she was carrying a sheepskin bag today. She was so desperate that she took out the tissue and wiped it for a long time, and finally walked into the hall dejectedly. .
It was probably a bad rainy day, which affected everything I did.
Lara entered the elevator with her head down, her face full of frustration and depression.
As a result, her eyes completely ignored the tall, tall man at the back of the elevator.
Fate inadvertently manipulated them, and they suddenly reunited unexpectedly.
Elliot Zhou thought that he had poor eyesight due to too many social events, so he saw it wrong. The woman standing in front of him to the right was wearing the simplest windbreaker and jeans. The white canvas shoes on her feet were stained with mud and water, and she was in an extremely embarrassed state.
Her hair was pulled behind her back and tied up with metal clips. Some strands had fallen apart due to the rain.
Just looking at the back, it's hard to believe that this is Lara.
But the temperaments were too similar. He tried hard to distinguish them, trying to find the difference from his past memories. After thinking about it, he still had doubts.
But the next second, he still spoke uncertainly.
