Chapter II
The night without stars was completely dark, as if a dark curtain had enveloped the whole world.
The vast expanse of the sea is also dark, and it is difficult to see the sea conditions in the depths of the sea from the beach, only the waves sounding on the shore tell those standing on the shore that the sea in the distance is restless at the moment.
The silent shore man stood on the reef, his clothes and appearance unclear in the dark night, only a faint silhouette could make him out.
He was isolated in such a night, but it seemed extraordinarily peaceful.
He looked up at the night for a long time, his neck ached, and his mind was completely lost to the illusion behind the night.
Perhaps it was the starless night that gave him more melancholy, or perhaps it was the deep, bottomless darkness that awakened his longing for sorrow, which made him forget the pain in his neck, and even made him ignore the swell that hit the reef beneath his feet.
He slowly stretched out his hand towards the night sky, and began to have the feeling that the outer space behind the night seemed to be no longer separated from this world, perhaps an illusion, but the feeling of being able to touch it was very real to him.
He stared at the foot of the night sky, in its heart, and gradually forgot where he was in the world.
Without the lights of the city shining nearby, without the bright stars twinkling in the sky, there was no light in the world around him that could guide him in his search for his way back to this world.
The waves came from afar, making a "whooshing" sound, and he stood on the reef and looked at the end of the sea, the sea at night was as dark as the night in the sky, and he couldn't tell where the sea was and where was the night sky.
He tried to distinguish the boundary between the sea and the night sky, and he focused for a long time before he faintly noticed the boundary.
He looked at the empty darkness and whispered to himself, "You know, in fact, the ending is already there from the moment you start pursuing, and you don't need to reach any end to know it." The distant sea and sky communication is the end of this world, the boundary connecting your world, although its journey is far away, isn't the end worth going on because it is far away?"
The wind was blowing, and the wind came from far away from the sea, and the passing sea made a frantic ripple, and then hit his face, and ruffled his hair, and he took out the hat in his backpack and buckled it on his head to shield himself from the oncoming sea breeze.
The sea became more and more turbulent, and a roaring wave swept in the direction of the beach, and finally slammed at the reef beneath his feet, and the splash of the waves hit him all over.
He glanced at his already soaked predecessor and sighed, "The calm before the storm is only for a moment. β
After speaking, he simply jumped into the sea, and the sea water instantly submerged his thighs, and the biting cold made him shiver.
He stepped on the silky sea mud, slowly opened his arms, breathed slowly, and felt the cool sea breeze blowing in his face, savoring the fresh and chilling taste.
The waves from afar crashed against the beach and ebbed and fell with his breath.
When the tide came, the waves flooded his chest, and when they receded, they wanted to uproot his feet that had fallen into the mud and bring them back to the depths of the sea. And his feet were firmly planted in the mud, stubbornly resisting this irresistible force.
Death, just between a thought, if there is a trace of the thought of giving up, the slightest slack of the body, his life will be slaughtered by the sea.
He knew that the sea was urging him, but it was not the fear of death that he stayed there, but the unfinished business.
He struggled to open his backpack and pulled out a columbarium from it, and he turned his head to look back, and from the flat land behind him, he vaguely saw a villa.
The villa was built in isolation, there was no light from it, and it was pitch black all around.
Not long after, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from above the villa, and the villa was instantly illuminated white, giving people an eerie feeling, as if a murderous mansion had suddenly appeared under the thunder.
Seeing this, he said to the columbarium in his hand, "After this last look, it's time for us to go on the road." β
With that, he scattered the ashes from the jar into the sea.
......
He pushed the door of the villa open, and the light that shot from the hall cut through the dark night, reflecting his muscular figure.
"Go, let me go, leave me!"
Ignoring the scolding from behind him, he closed the door gently, and slowly walked down the steps with a backpack in his other hand.
Before he could finish the steps, the door of the villa was opened again, and a beautiful girl of his age rushed out of the house and hugged him tightly from behind, "Don't leave Chenzishan, please don't go, stay here with me, at least after tonight, okay?"
"I understand you, we're all the same. He tried to pull himself out of her embrace, trying to jerk a few times, but it was a futile attempt.
"Since we are all the same, you stay here, and we soothe each other's wounds, won't the wounds heal faster?"
He felt her soft breasts clinging to his back, and the wonderful sensation made him realize that she was wearing only a thin pajamas.
He looked down at the arms that were wrapped around his chest, but he didn't expect that these white and slender arms were so locked that he couldn't breathe.
"Because of our acquaintance, we have lost the most important person, so let's go our separate ways in the future. β
She fanned her eyelashes stained with tears, "Don't leave me alone, please, don't leave me." β
Her pretty face pressed against his arm, drowning in the thick shoulder.
"Those who should go will have to leave sooner or later, and those who want to stay will never be able to stay, we think we can see through the belonging of fate, so we have been fooled by the fixed number in the dark. β
A gust of sea breeze hit him in the face and blew his hair away, "Since you can't keep it, why can't you let them go with the wind?" β
"No, they can be like the wind, they come and go, they can be like rain, they will evaporate when they live, but Chenzishan, you can't, you know? You can't!"
Tears flowed from these closed eyes, and wet his arms along his pretty cheeks, "The mountain stands here, it will be guarded by my side, the mountain will not leave, unless the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, unless the mountain collapses and the ground cracks!"
"Chenzi Mountain, you said, you love me, only love me, you said, the mountains can't keep the footsteps of the rain, only the snow can stay, only they can live and die...... Because the wind and the rain refuse to stay, they can live, and if they stop, they are dead!
"But we're different, we can stay, we stay here, we live here, and in the end only we can be together. β
After her hysterical confession, he did not show pity, but gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, as if he felt hatred at this moment.
After a moment, he sighed, and then laughed, in such a sincere confession, in such a dark night, his laughter sounded extremely weird, "Hahahaha...... My brother made such an oath to you, are you sure he said it to you?"
She looked up in surprise and lowered the hand that was holding him tightly, "What are you talking nonsense about, brother?"
Losing her restraints, he took a breath of relief, moving his sore arms by the way, "It's raining," he wiped away the rain that dripped from his neck, then unzipped his backpack and pulled out a hat from inside, "It needs to cover the rain." β
When she saw this hat being taken out by her sweetheart, her eyes widened and she couldn't believe the scene in front of her.
She raised her hand tremblingly, pointed to the hat on his head, and stammered as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't spit out a word.
He flipped his palm and stared at the raindrops glowing orange, "Xiaoyu often says that every drop of rain that falls from the sky will go through a sad journey before returning to the earthly world. They lament the ups and downs, tired and helpless. β
He let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, "Xiaoyu Xiaoyu God gave you Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu Xiaoyu God gave me Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu Xiaoyu God gave you Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu Xiaoyu God gave me Xiaoyu." β
The dragon-like purple lightning instantly pierced the gloomy sky, illuminating a wry smile on the corner of the man's mouth, and at the same time illuminating the sluggishness on the girl's face.
The thunder that almost split the sky shook their eardrums and shook their minds.
He glanced up at the ever-changing night sky, lowered the hat on his head, and when he walked away from the villa, his mouth kept repeating, "Xiaoyu Xiaoyu God gave you Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu Xiaoyu God gave me Xiaoyu......"
The rainstorm came suddenly, instantly watering her in only thin pajamas, the biting cold made her feel a little sober in the fog, she pointed to his back and shouted angrily, "You come back to me, who are you! Why did this hat fall on your hand again?"
He looked back and sneered, "Sometimes love can make people unable to tell who the person they love is, but hate will never let you make such a mistake." β
She shook her head desperately, "Zishan won't use such a tone, let alone say such a thing, who are you?"
"Fate has entangled the four of us and separated us from life and death," he touched his soaked hat, "This hat she gave to Chenzishan, she said it could separate the four of us...... Can a single hat separate our two twins from each other? Can a single hat go against God's arrangement? She is very smart, but sometimes quite naΓ―ve. β
She gave this hat to Zishan, but in the end it obviously fell into the hands of Chen Zifeng. β
Speaking of this, her eyes widened, "You are really Chenzifeng!"
She stared at his face, eager to get a negative answer from this strange face, but the strange smile that made her evil hers her, and it was a sign that she could only get the truth that she could not accept.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of vomiting rose from her heart to her throat, and she, who longed for an answer from his mouth, began to relocately every word that came out of his mouth.
She never wanted to hear him blurt out a lie, or a sarcasm that tortured herself, "No way, no way, no way!"
She scratched her rain-knotted hair almost frantically, frantic at the confusion of thoughts and the blows she didn't dare to face.
She kept repeating the word "impossible", as if she was forcing herself not to accept the unacceptable ending.
"Love will make you confused, but hate, it will make you sober," he turned and smiled disdainfully at her, "although you hate me, you love Chenzi Mountain, and now me," he lowered the brim of his hat to cover his eyes, "there is no love at all, so I am sober, so I always knew who you were, and you," he shook his head, "never sure who I am." β
"Shut up!"
"You can figure it out by yourself. β
"I'll admit I'm confused, I'll admit I can't tell who you really are, but I'm at least sure you're a wolf!"
This cruel sentence stopped him from leaving.
"I don't know what's going on, but I'm sure you deceived me and all of us. She slowly lowered the hand pointing at him, and her tone of voice became low, "You must have been in the middle of us from beginning to end, you were the one who played tricks on us from beginning to end, it was you who ...... us."
There was a deafening loud "click", and a bolt of lightning slashed from the sky, illuminating her sad face, "Oh my God, did the person I love fool me, or did I love someone wrong." β
"The one you love is gone, and the living seem to have become an abomination," he looked at her indifferently, "Do you say that you have been fooled by the person you love, or have you loved someone wrongly, it seems that you have already known the truth, but you are unwilling to believe it, you still long for me who is standing here at this moment, it is the Chenzi Mountain you love." I have already made an exchange with him in private, and when you want to get a perfect ending, the first thing you feel when you understand the truth of the ending should be the pain of being deceived...... The most unacceptable thing for you is that Chen Zishan chose to die, and he chose to die, which shows that after she left, there is no one in this world who is worthy of his nostalgia, and how can he ever care about your wishful thinking. Not only have you been fooled by the person you love, but you have really loved someone wrongly. β
He continued to stimulate her in despair, "Do you have a feeling of love and hate at the moment, do you have a feeling of love and hate?"
The last sentence broke her completely, and she knelt on the damp and cold ground with her limp body, her noble head hanging down, and her knotted hair dripping with rain.
"Click" was another thunderclap, and she suddenly raised her head as if she had woken up, her eyes widened, and she roared into the dark sky despite the blow of the torrential rain, "Heavens, kill me, kill me! Look at me, look at what I am doing all this for, for what!"
......
When he had scattered the ashes from the jar, he threw out the empty jar.
He pulled down the hat on his head to cover his eyes, "Where we came from, and we will return there." β
With that, he lifted his feet that were deep in the mud, took a big step towards the depths of the sea, and the whole person disappeared from the surface of the sea without a trace.
The black jazz hat detached from his head and floated above the sea along with the white jar of ashes.
