Chapter 3 Part Two: Letters of Excellence

The next day, at half past six in the morning, when the sky was still dark, the rainbow had already arrived. Fortunately, Bai Su had already got up, and quickly pulled me up from the bed. When I saw the rainbow, it was 6:30. Rainbow carefully dressed up. She chose a very elegant dress. The off-white dress made her look noble, generous and mature. As soon as I saw her, I nodded and said: You picked a good dress. It was designed by Yile, Caihong replied happily: He sent the pattern and color together three months ago, and he also said in the letter that after three years of correspondence, he deeply believed in the piece he designed. Clothes must be the most suitable.

I have to admit this sentence: very good, that pen pal of yours, he can become a first-rate costume designer! Rainbow was happier; but no matter how happy she was, it was hard to hide the tiredness of her sleepless night. I already felt in my heart that if Mr. Yi Le could not come on time, it must be a heavy blow to Rainbow. Bai Su was also worried about this, she asked me secretly: Do you think my cousin can meet her pen pal? I smiled and replied: Don't be nervous, even if her pen pal can't come for some reason, can't she go to see him? Bai Su laughed: You are thoughtful. At 7:10, Rainbow and I arrived at the airport together. Along the way, Rainbow kept complaining that I was driving too slowly, stamped my feet before every red light to express impatience, and said that the urban traffic management was not good.

But in fact, when we arrived at the airport, it was only 7:40, Rainbow hurriedly went to the service desk to inquire, and the flight arrived at 8:00, so she began to complain that the clock was going too slowly, Finally, the plane stopped on the runway, and she rushed to the gate impatiently. I waited at the gate for another 20 minutes. During those 20 minutes, Rainbow kept attacking the customs' travel passport control system and baggage control system, so I had to persuade her: You think Yi Le would like to see a one-hour Ever since, are you the girl who keeps complaining about this and that?

Rainbow sighed: How anxious I am to see him! Of course I understand her feelings, that is her first love, she has imagined so many fantasies about her first love object, now, her fantasies will become reality, so she has to be impatient. The first passenger came out of the gate. It was a businessman in his thirties, followed by a young man and woman who looked like newlyweds, then two old women, and then a band in strange costumes. Following the band was a tall, dark, athletic young man. When the young man walked out of the gate, he was looking around, Rainbow's face suddenly turned red, and she pushed me: Go over and ask him, he might be Yi Le!

I would rather this young man was Yi Le, so I went forward and nodded to him: Your Excellency is Mr. Yi Le? The young man looked at me strangely: No, my name is Benny. I quickly apologized to him, took a step back, looked back at Rainbow, spread my hands, and made a helpless gesture, Rainbow showed a very disappointed look. At this time, the young man named Benny and a girl in soft leather boots and a short skirt walked away holding hands. I saw the rainbow and stretched out my hand to point at the gate again. I turned my head and saw behind a few people who could never be Yile, another young man with a shy look walked out with a box in his hand. gate.

I know what Rainbow means, but she told me to ask the young man again, is it Yi Le? It was really an embarrassing job, but since I came with her, I had to ask, so I went up again, smiling: Mr. Yi Le? The young man looked a little surprised: No, no, you mistook the person, my name is Zhao Jiaju. I had no choice but to back down again, and looked back at Rainbow, the disappointed expression on Rainbow's face increased a lot. I continued to wait, and four or three young people came out one after another. Every young man came out. I always went up and asked them if they were Yi Le, but they all answered no!

Half an hour later, it seemed that all the passengers on that flight had left the gate, and I retreated to Rainbow. Rainbow bit her lower lip, and after a while, said: He, he didn't come. I comforted her and said, "Maybe we missed him. Let me ask the stewardess for the passenger list." I walked towards the gate and made my request to a stewardess standing at the gate. The beautiful stewardess hesitated for a moment, and I pointed to Rainbow: she was waiting for someone she had never met before. Pen pal, I don't know if we missed him, or he didn't come at all, so I want to check the passenger list.

What's the name of his pen pal?asked the stewardess. Ile.I answer. The stewardess began to check the passenger list on the clip in her hand. She checked it very carefully, but in the end she shook her head: No, this gentleman is not on this flight. I thanked her, and the stewardess was very kind, and she told me that there was another passenger plane coming from that city in an hour, and maybe he was on that passenger plane. I thanked her again, then went back to Rainbow, and conveyed the stewardess' words to her. Rainbow sighed: No, since he made it very clear in the letter that he was taking the plane that arrived at 8 o'clock, he would not take the next flight instead, it must be the people mentioned in his letter , not letting him come, but why was he stopped?

I can't bear to see Rainbow's frustrated look: you can write a letter to ask him. Rainbow shook his head: No, I want to send a telegram to him and ask him to call me back immediately. I said: OK, that is also a way, we can send this telegram at the airport immediately, do you remember his address? Rainbow reluctantly smiled: I have been communicating with him for three years, how could I not remember his address? I accompanied Rainbow to shoot the telegram. The telegram was naturally drafted by Rainbow. I don’t know the content, but it must have been quite long. It was so long that Rainbow’s money was not enough to pay for the telegram, so I had to pay for it!

When Rainbow left the airport with me, he said: Cousin-in-law, I will borrow your address for the return call, I am afraid that my father will be surprised when he sees a telegram. I hurriedly said, "That's not a problem. Let's go home together and wait for the call back. I thought, it doesn't have to be noon, the call back will definitely come." Rainbow came full of hope, but went back extremely disappointed, and she hardly spoke a word along the way.When we arrived at the door, Bai Su came out to greet us, and seeing the expressions of the two of us, she also knew what happened!And Rainbow immediately ran to her and began to cry.

Bai Su hurriedly comforted Rainbow with all kinds of words, and I walked away on my own, wondering in my heart, is it just that Yi Le was suddenly blocked and couldn't come? But I thought about it, but it was impossible for anything else to happen, so I only regarded Rainbow's crying as a childish behavior, and I still felt a little funny in my heart. Rainbow cried for more than an hour, and then, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, waiting at the door for a call back.I told her that the telegram was the fastest and would not come until at least twelve o'clock, but she refused to listen to my advice, biting her lip and insisting on waiting at the door. Readers, if anyone tries to persuade a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl not to do something stupid, then you can know that it must be impossible. So, I tried to persuade her twice, but I stopped trying to persuade her and let her wait at the door. In the early morning of this day, I saw a ray of sunshine, but the sky became more and more gloomy. When it was almost noon, the sky was as dark as dusk, and it was still raining.Rainbow has been waiting at the door, and I know she has been waiting at the door, because Bai Su walked in from time to time and sighed in front of me. It wasn't until noon, almost one o'clock, that I heard Bai Su urging Rainbow not to wait any longer, but Rainbow said stubbornly: "Don't pay attention to me, cousin, don't pay attention to me, okay?" Bai Su came across to me and sat down again. As soon as she sat down, she heard a shout from the door: Receive the telegram! The two of us jumped up together and ran down the stairs together. When we reached the gate, we saw that the telegrapher had already left on his motorcycle. Rainbow was standing motionless with a telegram in his hand. Since her back is turned to us, we cannot see the expression on her face.I wondered in my heart: she waited for two or three hours, and when she got the telegram, why didn't she open it immediately? I was wondering in my heart, Bai Su couldn't help but said: Rainbow, quickly open the telegram and have a look, what did Yi Le say? Rainbow was just standing like a wooden figure, but as soon as Bai Su said that, her body shook like thunder, and then she turned around. There was no blood on her face, she glanced at us, put the telegram in her hand on the table, and went out. I leapt forward and grabbed the telegram. As soon as I caught that telegram, I already understood why Rainbow's face turned bloodless. That was not Yi Le's call back, and it was just a notice from the Telegraph Bureau, which clearly stated: Your Excellency's telegram sent at 8:42 a.m. has no addressee and cannot be delivered. There is no such person as Yile! I looked up, Rainbow was still walking forward like a sleepwalking patient, I yelled: "Hurry up and chase her back." Bai Su ran out, she was also a person who had a very high attainment in Chinese martial arts, but since she got married, she almost never ran at such a fast speed, rushed to Rainbow's side, and pulled Rainbow into the room forcefully . I sat down on a chair according to Rainbow, and I hurriedly said: Rainbow, don't worry, things will always work out.Rainbow shook her head slowly, and I didn't know what she meant by shaking her head. I said again: Rainbow, the most important thing is whether you have confidence in him, and whether he might be avoiding you on purpose. Won't!Rainbow replied immediately. That's fine, then we can assume that there are some people blocking him from meeting you, that kind of blocking can definitely be broken, please believe me. Rainbow smiled bitterly: How to break it? First of all, I want to study Yile, Rainbow, you have hidden all his letters in the past three years? Yes. Show it to me, you may not be able to see what kind of person he is from his letter, but I can definitely see it!Rainbow looked slightly embarrassed, but she nodded immediately and said: "Okay, I'll go home and get it." I hurriedly said: Ask your cousin to accompany you. Rainbow smiled bitterly: No need, I won't be so vulnerable!Even if it's just me, I can bear it, not to mention the two of you helping me. I said: I mean ask your cousin to drive you there, then you can come back quickly, I am really eager to know what kind of person this Yi Le is and his family background. Hearing what I said, Bai Su immediately walked out with Rainbow on his arm.I sat down on the sofa, thinking about why the telegram could not be delivered. I thought to myself, the only reason is naturally because Yi Le's family objected to Yi Le's flirting with a girl she didn't know. The city where Yi Le lived was a city with very conservative folk customs. But I'm still not sure, and I can't make a decision until I have read all of Yile's letters. Bai Su and Rainbow came back half an hour later, holding a box in Rainbow's hands. When she opened the lid, the box was full of letters, at least more than a hundred letters. In the envelope, she also carefully marked the date of receipt and numbered the letter.I took all the letters and said: Don't bother me, I have to study these letters carefully. I walked into the study, closed the door, and began to read Yile's letter according to the number of the rainbow. Yi Le's letters, the first twenty or thirty letters, are nothing special, but the letters after the number thirty are each a piece of prose with rich words and sentiments! It's hard to believe that a twenty-year-old young man (that's what Yile said in his letter) could have such a wonderful writing style. And the more I looked down, the more surprised I was, because Yile not only wrote extremely well, but also his profound knowledge made me amazed. He knew almost everything, and there was a very long letter discussing with Rainbow I didn't think that girls like Rainbow would be interested in this question about the island-by-island battle in the Pacific Ocean in the late World War II.However, any girl would fall in love with such a profound discussion. I believe that that long letter could not have been written better even if it was written by the top leader of the Allied Forces at that time. And he knew almost everything, about Caihong once wrote to him, telling him some uncomfortable things, so in one letter, he listed a Chinese medicine prescription. Under the Chinese medicine prescription, Rainbow wrote a line: Just drink it once, but the medicine is really bitter! Twenty-year-old young people can prescribe Chinese medicine prescriptions, and the medicine can cure the disease, discuss literature, art, military affairs, politics, archaeology, history, geography, various issues, and make the best fashion design. To be honest, I am no longer surprised that Rainbow falls in love with him even though he has never met him. Yi Le said very little about family matters. He appeared to have no brothers, sisters, or parents; indeed, he mentioned six people who waited on him, and he also mentioned a queer old man who constantly added to his knowledge.But he never explained the relationship between the old man and him, it seems like a tutor. I read one letter after another until it was almost dawn, and then I discovered a very strange thing: among all the letters, there was absolutely no one that talked about sports! Rainbow is a very active girl, she likes almost every kind of sports, but Yile's interest in this aspect obviously doesn't suit her. Yile knows the history of the World Games in detail, but in his letter , but never mentioned what sports he himself had participated in! When I think about this, I feel like I have an idea of ​​the whole thing! I closed my eyes, and in front of my eyes, there seemed to be a young man with a pair of eyes full of wisdom, but his complexion was extremely pale. I also seemed to see this young man sitting in a wheelchair. Crippled and physically flawed, this is the reason why he dared not come to see Rainbow in the end. And I also seem to have seen the end, Rainbow is a girl with such a fanatical emotion, no matter what Yile is, since she already loves him, she will still love him. So, I seemed to see a happy ending again. However, I didn't think about it any further, because I found that what I had imagined was too much like a disgusting popular novel or a romantic tragicomedy.God knows if that's the case in real life. I lay down in the easy chair in the study, and slept for about two hours before I opened the study door.
