Charlie asked her: “You are a big star, just go out on the street, won’t you be followed by the paparazzi?”
Sara smiled and said, “Just like the last time I picked you up at the airport, just disguise it!”
After speaking, Sara said again: “I’ll take you to the place we played when we were young, do you remember the place 9T Street?”
“9T Street?” Charlie frowned, always feeling that this place’s name was strange and familiar.
Sara said: “It’s the place where we often asked our parents to take us when we were young. There are many small vendors, small shops, lots of delicious and fun things, and it is next to Hwai Lake. When we were young, it was winter, we went to Hwai ice skating, do you remember?”
In Charlie’s mind, a fragment of childhood suddenly appeared.
In the picture, he and Sara together, led by their parents, went to 9T Street to eat candied haws, and play ice carts on the ice.
The winter in Eastcliff is very cold. Thick ice will form on the lake in Hwai. After the ice is frozen, people will go skating and playing ice carts on the lake. The children are all sitting on the self-made ice carts. An iron rod stabs and moves on the ice.
At that time, children didn’t have any electronic products to play with, so when winter came, Charlie wanted to go skating in Hwai.
He still remembers that Sara’s parents had a very beautiful courtyard house on Hwai. Every time his parents took him to Hwai, they would first take him to visit Sara’s parents, and then have a meal in the courtyard of the house.
Thinking about it now, those memories that have not appeared in his mind for more than ten years are still vivid after so long.
At that time, Sara was just a follower. Wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, like a small cotton ball, her little hands stretched out from the sleeves of the cotton-padded jacket, grabbing the corners of her clothes tightly, and would not let go.
At that time, she always put the same word”Charlie” on her lips, her voice was sweet and waxy, and she was a little bit shy, it was really cute.
However, that place he loved most when he was a child, he hasn’t been there for 18 years.
Thinking of this, Charlie’s heart was full of nostalgia.
So he asked her, “Sara, is your courtyard on the back beach still there?”
“Yeah!” Sara said with a smile: “That is a protected building, and it is not allowed to be demolished. My dad spent a lot of money to renovate it two years ago. If the traffic in the city center is not too heavy, we would all want to move there for permanent residence.”
As she said, she couldn’t hide her excitement and asked, “Charlie, do you want me to take you there now?”
The memories in Charlie’s mind swarmed, and his heart suddenly became excited, and he blurted out: “Okay!”
