Chapter 433: Mysterious Guest
The golden sunset sprinkled on the water, the wind brushed lightly and the waves sparkled beautifully.
Gu Xuan was still immersed in the beautiful conception, not realizing that his words had already been heard by Pheobe Wilson, and his words were the biggest factor that prevented Pheobe Wilson from approaching him.
The wind ruffled my broken hair, and my throat tickled with a violent cough.
Gu Xuan said with concern, “Sister Alva, are you catching a cold? I see that you’ve been coughing for the past few days since you came here, and your face doesn’t look too good, why don’t I take you to the clinic to buy some medicine.”
I curved the corners of my mouth, “No need, this is an old problem of mine, it can’t be cured, it will be fine after this winter.”
Once the winter is over, long sleep underground, any pain and sickness is gone.
Gu Xuan slapped his leg and said, “Right, there’s still a week to go before the New Year, I heard that this town is very lively for the New Year, and I don’t plan to leave this year, so I’ll stay here to spend the New Year with Sister Pheobe.”
I asked him, “Won’t your family remember you?”
“My brother won’t, that guy of his, he can’t wait for me to be out there and not go back, I’ll be a while and he’ll have to clean up my mess.” Gu Xuan mentioned his brother with a smile on his face that was happy.
He was a younger brother who was spoiled by his older brother.
Gu Xuan told me that there are only two brothers in his family, his parents are long gone, and the brothers seldom get together; he likes to travel, all over the world, until he came to this town and stopped because of Pheobe Wilson.
Gu Xuan asked me, “What about you, Sister Alva, are you going back for the New Year? I heard Sister Pheobe say you’re going to stay here all the time, so won’t your family remember you if you don’t go back for New Year’s?”
From the day I left North City to now, a few days have passed in the blink of an eye, I only sent Jane Hasis a message to stay safe, I haven’t contacted her since then, my cell phone number has been logged off.
“Let’s go for another walk out front and buy some small gifts to take back.” I digressed.
Gu Xuan is a person who is very good at reading eyes, and sensibly didn’t pursue it, he said, “I’m also going to pick out a New Year’s gift for Pheobe’s sister.”
Gu Xuan’s mouth didn’t leave Pheobe Wilson out of three sentences.
Only when you truly love someone will you think of each other in everything.
There were a lot of gift stores in the town, selling weird and wacky stuff.
I wandered inside the store and finally picked out a pair of cute dolls.
After two hours of shopping, I was a bit tired, so I suggested going back to the inn.
Perhaps too tired, as soon as I returned to my room, I wanted to sleep, this sleep until ten o’clock in the night, the lively town has quieted down, along the two sides of the creek hanging red lanterns, lights on, another beautiful scenery.
“Wake up.” Pheobe Wilson pushed the door in and brought freshly cooked dumplings, “I hand wrapped these this afternoon, try them, your appetite is getting worse Alva, how are you going to get better from this illness if you don’t eat more.”
I smiled, “Pheobe, you are getting more and more beautiful.”
Nowadays, Pheobe Wilson has an indescribable charm that attracts people.
Pheobe Wilson laughed shyly, “Even you are poking fun at me, I think you’ve spent a lot of time with Gu Xuan and got infected by him.”
I said, “Gu Xuan he is a good man.”
“I know.” Pheobe Wilson’s eyes were bleak: “We’re not suitable, I’m thirty-four this year, eight years older than him, and you know about my past, I’m destined to not be able to have my own children in this life, I ah, this life has never thought of getting married again, it’s quite good to be alone, look at me now, I go to bed early at night, I get up early in the morning, I water the flowers, I clean up the inn, I do my leisurely and comfortable boss’s wife, how comfortable ah.”
Too afraid to talk about love in the face of reality.
Pheobe Wilson made her choice a long time ago, and it was reality that made the choice for her.
I caught a dumpling and put it in my mouth, “It’s delicious.”
“If it’s delicious, eat more, I still have some left there …”
Pheobe Wilson words have not yet finished, my stomach a flutter, an unstoppable pain upward, dumplings spit out, with blood, Pheobe Wilson looked at the face pale: “Alva, you vomited blood.”
Pheobe Wilson hurriedly pulled tissues for me and anxiously asked me, “Tell me the truth, how far have you gotten with this disease, didn’t you say before that you could get better with Chinese medicine?”
I lied to everyone.
I smiled bitterly, “It can’t get better.”
I had tears in my eyes, it was despair for the future and honesty.
“What do you mean it won’t get better.”
“The doctor said I only have a few months to live.” My life had long been counting down.
Pheobe Wilson’s shoulders slumped momentarily.
“No wonder you turned down Walker’s proposal, no wonder you came with me to Smallville, Alva, why didn’t you say so, were you trying to hide your death in a foreign land from everyone?”
“It’s pretty here, I like it here, I really do.” I raised a smile, “Pheobe, I accepted the reality a long time ago, this life of mine should have died in the fire a few years ago, it was Ulysses Will who saved me, and later on, Yao Mubai saved me many times, otherwise I would have died long time ago, to live these few more years, it’s all earned, even one more day, it’s still earned.”
“Alva,” Pheobe Wilson hugged me and sniffled, “It’s okay, I will accompany you until the end.”
I don’t want to see the people around me sad, Pheobe Wilson she also experienced the darkness of the people, she can understand my mood, even if she knows that I won’t live long, she won’t show a worried look in front of me, she thinks of ways to make me laugh every day, take me for a walk around.
It’s New Year’s Eve, Pheobe Wilson dragged me to go shopping for New Year’s Eve, she said she wanted to have a good New Year’s Eve.
It was going to be my last New Year.
She bought a lot of flowers and couplets, red lanterns, and decorated the inn in a very festive, New Year’s flavor.
Honestly, I have never looked forward to the New Year in this way, and I have never felt anything before, but this is the only year that makes me look forward to it.
On New Year’s Eve, there was a strange guest at the inn, who was received by Pheobe Wilson himself.
Originally the rooms in the inn had been fully booked, Pheobe Wilson specially set aside a room for this guest to live in, living next door to me, why do I say this guest is mysterious?
Why is this guest mysterious? He has not been seen leaving his room since he moved in, but every day there is piano sound coming out of his room, and strangely enough, these are my favorite piano music.
Looking at the sunset, enjoying the quietness of the town after the bustle, and listening to the piano music was simply enjoyable.
I asked Pheobe Wilson, “Is that guest a pianist? He plays the piano so well.”
“He ah, is not a pianist, he has learned since childhood, in this aspect of attainment is not lower than those master level, at that time in the school, he a piano song but captured the hearts of many girls.”
“Listening to your meaning, you guys know each other.” I was even more curious.
Pheobe Wilson looked at me and smiled, “Known each other for many years.”
“Since you’re friends, let’s have him come out to get acquainted and have New Year’s Eve dinner together.” I was quite curious about this man, especially since he played piano music so well, and at night when I was in pain and couldn’t sleep, listening to the music made me feel better and I slept better.
Pheobe Wilson said mysteriously, “If you’re looking forward to it, then I’ll arrange for him to have New Year’s Eve dinner with us tonight.”
