Hainan Island faces the shore of the mainland.

Pale and weak, she snuggled in his arms, she raised her slender hand and stroked his face, "I have never dared to touch your face, I am always afraid of recognizing the wrong person, I am afraid that it will be embarrassing, but now I am not afraid." ”

"The more scared you are, the easier it is to admit your mistakes, and only by reaching out and touching can you understand our differences. ”

She stroked his face, "Your face is so rough, I seem to feel the hardships you have been through...... I seem to realize how different your experience in this life is compared to Zifeng. ”

He closed his eyes, indulging in her caresses.

"Thank you. ”

He barely managed to squeeze out some smiles, "Fool, what are you thanking me for?" ”

"Chenzishan, thank you so much, thank you for accompanying me on this journey. ”

She tried to keep her eyes open, eager to remember the man in front of her before she died, praying that she would not recognize the wrong person in the next world, and that she must meet this man first, love him well, and have him well, "Am I a little selfish, knowing that I don't live long, I still pull you to accompany me...... After I'm gone, you and Xiaoxue should be fine, do you know what I mean? Let it pass, cherish the people in front of you. ”

He didn't say a word, just pressed her white, cold hand to his warm chest.

"Zishan, promise me. ”

With tears in his eyes and a bite on his lips, he nodded slightly.

"Your chest is so hot, is my hands too cold?"

He touched her forehead, the biting chill seemed to touch the ice, he really felt that her life was running out, so he used all his strength to hug her tightly, for fear that he would not be strong enough to snatch her from the hands of death, "No, no, my chest is too hot." ”

After he finished speaking, he noticed that she was laughing, while his own tears flowed uncontrollably.

She looked at him affectionately and tried to raise her hand, "Zishan, don't feel sorry for me, you forgot, my name is Xiaoyu," she wiped away the tears that fell under his chin, "It's like snow falling in the sky, happy and short-lived, warm in the palm of the hand held by you, turned into tears of rebirth, rain of rebirth!"

"The snow melted and turned into tears of rebirth, rain of rebirth. He repeated the phrase so he realized its meaning, "I want to tell you that I am not ......"

At this point, he shook his head again.

He thought to himself, forget it, at this time, it is much better to let her go with happiness than with the truth.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"I want to tell you that I'm not...... I'm sad, I'm very happy to be able to give you one last ride, at least I won't leave any regrets. ”

"You can say that, and I'm satisfied. ”

She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and after a while, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the end of the sea, "Zishan, leave me there." ”

"Where?"

"The sea across the street. ”

"Don't you want to give 'yourself' to her, she's your family. ”

"It would be very difficult for her to give her my ashes...... Don't forget, she and I are twin sisters...... If she had been me, she would have chosen it the same way. ”

She said slowly, feeling that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and it took all the strength of her life to open them, "Don't let her see it, and give me to the sea." ”

She was powerless to resist the heavy sleepiness, but in her heart she felt that everything in this world was a dream, and it was time to put an end to it.

"Zishan, I really want to sleep, goodbye Zishan, ...... in the future You must be good with Xiaoxue in the future, you know, you have to be good with Xiaoxue in the future...... We seem to know each other in a fog, see flowers in the fog, and finally pass a layer apart. ”

When she let go of her hand, his face did not show an inalienable pain, he stared at the sea calmly, and whispered, "Please forgive me for my deception, forgive me for not being able to grant your dying request." You give yourself to the sea, you will not be alone in that place, and when I see you again, you will surely understand. ”

Drowning in the sea, he thought back to his last days with her, and he opened his heavy eyelids and said, "I'm sorry......"

As soon as he spoke, a mouthful of seawater choked into his internal organs, and he frantically struggled to get out of this suffocating suffocation in excruciating pain, and the futile struggle only accelerated the exhaustion of his life.

When there was only the last strength left in his life, his whole body was convulsed, and he still insisted on saying the words that he had always wanted to say to her but couldn't speak, "I'm sorry...... I'll accompany you on your last journey...... Loved one...... It's not that you ......."

The last words that no one listened to were completely buried in the sea.

......

When he came to the beach, he thought he would find his footprints, but when he saw the beach that had been baptized by the waves over and over again, he began to feel naïve.

He saw a familiar hat drifting towards him, and immediately ran over to pick it up.

He looked up at the vast expanse of the sea—since the hat was floating here, the location he had chosen should not be far away, and her ashes should be scattered nearby.

He said to himself, "The person who accompanied her on this path should be me, not him." ”

He patted the sand from his hat and compared it with his own, the two soaked hats were almost identical, and they were completely indistinguishable with the naked eye.

If you have to say a difference, it's just that one is stained with rain and the other is seawater.

He finally acquiesced to his guess, "Since I can't find his footprints, I should have found the place where he died." ”

......

The storm had subsided, leaving only the breeze and waves sweeping across the beach.

He stepped on the sand, and in the rhythm of the sea breeze and waves, he heard the rustle of his feet on the sand, and he knew it was her.

"What are you doing here?" he said, turning his back to her, quietly closing the two hats together in his hands.

"Same as you. ”

"You're here to send Chenzi Mountain. ”

"They ...... It's all people I love. ”

He let out an uncontrollable laugh as he turned around, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened when he saw her.

He was amazed at how she could be so embarrassed when she had always been neat—she was covered with an overcoat on the outside, her soaked pajamas stuck to her flesh, her waist-length hair twisted into strands from the rain, her pale face was lifeless, and the sea breeze was still blowing desperately against her shivering body.

She looked extremely pitiful, but he didn't have the slightest pity, "Don't talk about the last side, you didn't even see her ashes, and you still said that you love your sister? ”

She sneezed a few times and said weakly, "Here you repent...... Are there two people who have sinned equally heavily, and they have to distinguish which one is more serious?"

He wanted to vent all his anger and all his faults on her, but this sentence left him speechless, "Maybe the culprit is not us." ”

"Who could that be?"

He pointed to the gloom above his head, "It's from above." ”

"The heavens have sent tribulation, but those who forsake them are ......"

He knew who she was referring to, but he didn't take her unfinished words, and sometimes although he acquiesced in his heart, it was difficult to admit it.

He turned his head to look at her, and he found that she was just staring blankly at the sea, her dim pupils were as silent and deep as stagnant water, her pale face had no expression, her trembling body had stopped trembling, the sea breeze was blowing on her face like a knife cutting her delicate skin, but she was unmoved, he couldn't even detect her breathing, she was calm, as calm as a dead person.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen her so miserable, and he wondered if she was imagining his death, or maybe she was struggling on the brink of pain, shattering at the touch of a touch.

He couldn't face her appearance anymore, so he turned to face the sea, the sea breeze immediately hit him, he took a sharp breath of air, and the fresh coolness instantly dispelled the haze in his heart, which was very refreshing, but when he exhaled, there was an inexplicable depression that surged into his heart.

"It's a strange feeling of emptiness, they bring us joy and sorrow when they are alive, and they take away happiness when they leave, leaving only sadness. ”

"It's emptiness, we've all had similar experiences before, but it won't be as profound as it is now," she said slowly, looking into the distance, her empty pupils filled with dead darkness, "If you leave... Drifting away... In this life... Helpless. ”

"Don't you think they're irresponsible? ”

"You still don't understand, don't you think they're very courageous at the moment. ”

"Looks like you get it. He sarcastically said.

Seeing that she was speechless, he continued, "At least leave a body, at least let us build a tombstone for them, and give it to the sea," he smiled wryly, "where do we go to pay our respects on their death day?"

"Here. ”

"They have long been swept away by the sea, what are we still doing here. ”

"It's not so much about honoring them, it's better to say that we are honoring ourselves, their souls in heaven will not get any change because of any of your actions in the world, they have already got what they want, so they choose to leave safely. It's just that our self-righteous thoughts are mistaken for a souvenir of their departure. It is not their souls that we pay tribute to, but the lonely and unwilling hearts that are waiting for us. There is no better place than here, here is their choice and we should respect their choice. ”

He sneered, "Hmph, unwilling heart." ”

She asked rhetorically, "Aren't you unwilling?"

He laughed but didn't answer.

Her expression suddenly became serious, and she asked him, "I should call you Chen Zifeng now, right?" ”

He retracted his smile, "Looks like you finally know who I am." ”

"Chen Zifeng, can you tell me who proposed the exchange between you and him?"

"He's gone, is there any need to bring up the past? ”

"It's important to me, if he brings it up, it means he ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her angrily, "It means that he doesn't love you!

"It's all him? I don't understand. ”

"If you want to figure it out, it's going to be long. ”

"I have nothing left but time, you can elaborate. ”

"In the beginning, he was jealous. ”

He raised his head and looked in the direction he was leaving, and after a moment, he said slowly, "Do you remember the day you transferred to another school, everything started to change at that time. ”
