I looked at Ming and I hesitated, but now that he was here, I could not get rid of him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming said when he found I said nothing, “What? You didn’t want me to bother you and Lester?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” I hurriedly said, “It will be tired to accompany us.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I won’t be tired to be with you.” Ming reached out to me. “Let us go.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment, and finally I laid my hand on his palm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We went downstairs together. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The scene was harmonious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If you didn’t know the situation, you must think we were a happy family. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was winter now. It was foggy and still snowy today. When we came out, there were very few cars on the road. I looked out of the window and saw only a few snowflakes falling on the window. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The shape of the snowflake was very nice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It took more than an hour to get to the Dinosaur Museum because of the slippery road. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because of the cold weather, there was very few people in the Dinosaur Museum. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We hired a guide, and Lester followed the guide in the dinosaur hall, as Ming and I walked behind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We were walking side by side, but both of us said nothing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t even know what to say to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know why Ming and I just became like this. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But we were getting married. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming seemed to be looking for a topic. As he just wanted to say something, Lester waved to me, “Mom, Mom, Take a picture of me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Ming and said with a smile, “I will take a picture for Lester first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, I am with you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming raised his mouth and smiled softly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He followed behind me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went to help Lester take a lot of pictures. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The guide was very enthusiastic to tell Lester about the dinosaurs in which age, their characteristics and so on. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Originally, I was not interested in these, but this guide said very vivid. At last I couldn’t help but also listened to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I accompanied Leicester, taking pictures and listening to dinosaur knowledge. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was already a bit late for us to leave from home. When we walked out of the huge dinosaur hall, it was already evening. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked around and found that Ming was calling not far away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lester was asking questions to the guide, so I called Ming to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I approached him, I found the his expression cold and indifferent. When I saw his expression, I could not help but feel a little nervous. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He listened to the person on the phone and said nothing. He looked far away and was very focused as if he had not found me coming at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I approached, he found me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he looked up and saw me, he said to the person on the phone, “I’ll talk about this later, and I hang up first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, he put the phone in his pocket and asked with his soft expression, “Are you done? Is it time to consider where to eat?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little uncomfortable with the changes of his attitude, and I said, “Well, let’s ask Lester about it, and I want to call Master together. I will pay for it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, there were three people on my side, so it was reasonable for me to pay <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” He said as he looked at me, and his eyes were lonely. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Like he still had something to say. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What is the matter?” I asked him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With a little sadness in his face, Ming asked me, “Why do I feel that you and I are more distant than ever? Am I doing something wrong and disappointing you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I froze and subconsciously said, “No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Do not lie to me.” He stretched out his hand and took me into his arms. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated, but I did not resist his hug. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A moment later I heard a sad voice coming from above my head. “I know, Marcia makes you feel strange to me, but I hope you understand that I am just protecting myself. If you want to know about me and her or my past, I can tell you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I will tell you everything. I just hope you do not stay away from me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Ming spoke that, he held me tightly as if he wanted to rub me into his arms. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My heart was filled with confusion. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If Ming really wanted to tell me everything about him, maybe I will give him another chance. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But that night, I got a call before we had a long talk. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
From James. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got James’s call, the old man’s voice was so husky and he asked me, “Did Sean contact you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sean? No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I froze. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Why did James call me and ask that question? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
James was breathing heavily. He was silent for a while before continuing to say, “Is what you said true? Don’t lie to me. I’m old and I’m not healthy and I can’t stand it anymore. If he is with you, you can tell him that it doesn’t matter. I just need him to be healthy.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
James made me confused. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Grandpa, what is wrong? Sean is really not here. I have not talked to him in a long time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was Sean missing? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
James saw that I deny it. His voice trembled so much. “Really? Is he really not with you? Don’t lie to me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Really… What is wrong with him?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this moment, I was suddenly worried. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What happened to Sean? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
James sighed. “He, he has been missing for almost a week, but We didn’t notice that before.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If he contacts you, you must tell me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
James seemed to know Sean was not with me and was not in the mood to talk to me any more, so he hung up the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at the phone in my hands. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I did not hesitate to call Sean directly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The phone message reminded me that his cell phone was turned off. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Indeed, if Sean’s phone wasn’t turned off, they won’t call me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Knock.” Someone knocked at the door when I tried to call Sean again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew it was Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I should have had a good talk with him tonight. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, we were getting married. We shouldn’t get along like now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But now that I knew about Sean’s accident, I had no mood to talk to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at the door hesitantly and finally opened it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming at the door was wearing a white shirt and casual pants. And his hair was a little damp. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked harmless. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If nothing happened to Sean, I might really be willing to talk to such Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming looked at me as if he realized that I was absent-minded and asked me, “Is something wrong?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up at him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I thought about the look he made when he called in the afternoon, I hesitated and said, “Do you know Sean is missing?” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
