Vertical and horizontal steel bars... gray cement walls... semi-open windows...

Apart from these, the middle-aged woman saw nothing.

Even the expected results...

She took a deep breath and dispelled the depression and discomfort in her heart.

no way.

She can't see it.

"Is it difficult for me to see the big bird...?"

The middle-aged woman couldn't help asking.

"Um."

The silver-white feathers swept across his ears.

Xiao Xiao tilted his head slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Because the attention was all on this young man, the middle-aged woman keenly discovered the subtle changes in Xiao Xiao's expression.

“It doesn’t seem to want you to know that it’s a difficult thing to let you see.”

The silver-white feathers swept through Xiao Xiao's ears again.

A faint smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

"Um?"

After the middle-aged woman was stunned, the smile on the corner of her mouth became more obvious.

"Yeah?"

"Big Bird."

The middle-aged woman looked in front of her.

Squinted his eyes and smiled, "Although I'm very embarrassed..."

"It seems to be too pretentious..."

"I'm not a little girl now..."

The middle-aged woman stroked her face, wrinkles had already grown on the corners of her eyes, and a little emotion appeared on her face, "You can recognize me."

Too.

Big birds are not ordinary birds.

The middle-aged woman smiled proudly.

Such a powerful bird is her friend.

Her ordinary life... in fact, it is not as ordinary as she thought...

...

"If I don't say these words now, I'm worried that I won't have a chance to say them later."

The middle-aged woman said this in a tone that was calmer than she thought.

"Big Bird..."

"Thank you for appearing in my life."

"Thank you for spending so long with me in the past."

"I'm really happy."

The middle-aged woman has curved eyebrows.

"I won't lose that memory again."

"I will always remember."

"……wait-"

The middle-aged woman's voice disappeared into her throat.

After a second of stunned silence, the smile on her face became even bigger, "Big Bird, maybe my request is a bit willful."

"But even if you are willful, I hope you can forget the stupid behaviors I later did."

"I like you very much."

The middle-aged woman spoke very seriously, "You are my most special friend."

"I hope that all you remember about me are happy memories."

"I hope you will laugh when you think of me..."

"Our encounters and acquaintances and the years we have been together will be my most special treasure."

"Hope... will also be a memory you cherish."

"Am I talking too much?"

The middle-aged woman smiled embarrassedly.

"Buzz buzz ~"

The middle-aged woman heard the vibrating sound of her cell phone, but she did not answer.

She still smiled and squinted, "I'm leaving."

"If you don't go back, you'll be criticized by your leader later."

“…Big Bird, goodbye.”

She felt as if she had said everything she wanted to say, and she seemed to have a lot to say...

But……

Time is up.

"Thank you."

The middle-aged woman bent down slightly at the two young men again.

Then she straightened up, took a step back, and entered the elevator.

"goodbye."

The elevator door slowly closed.

This time, the middle-aged woman did not extend her hand.

She held her hand hanging down.

I saw my face losing my smile on the elevator door.

......

Just now......

She actually has one more thing to say.

But in the end, she didn't say it.

“…I will always remember.”

"Waiting for a day in the future... Maybe we will meet again..."

The middle-aged woman murmured.

She didn't know why she didn't say this.

Maybe……

She knew that she couldn't see it.

The big bird let her see that it would cost her.

And she... didn't think their meeting was based on the price paid by the bird.

If this happens, how could she be really happy?

So, even though she actually wanted to see the big bird more... she met it again so rarely...

She still couldn't say this.

She is really...

She reached out and pressed the corner of her eyes that were slightly hot.

She stared at herself in the mirror of the elevator door for a while.

very good.

The eyes did not turn red.
