Chapter 7: The Book of Brocade Is Hard to Trust
Until the next morning, Lin Xiaoni didn't call Zhao Yingran and asked her why she didn't come back last night.
Similarly, Zhao Yingran did not call Lin Xiaoni.
The dawn of the morning illuminates the railing outside the windowsill of Lin Xiaoni's bedroom, the rain that ended last night has caused this morning to be unusually cold, Lin Xiaoni doesn't seem to feel this, she sits by the window and looks at the cold street outside, not knowing what she is thinking.
In the end, she stood up, took out the phone and dialed Zhao Yingran's number, and after the phone rang twice, Zhao Yingran answered the phone.
She didn't speak, and she didn't speak.
There was silence like that.
Yesterday evening, Bingyou said a lot of things to Zhao Yingran, and Zhao Yingran remembered some questions, such as what did Wen Shaohua and Lin Xiaoni say before she suddenly met Wen Shaohua that day? For example, why did Lin Xiaoni make a lot of efforts in her relationship with Wen Shaohua? Although there is nothing obvious, it is very natural, but the subtle changes can be sure that Lin Xiaoni hopes that she and Wen Shaohua will be reconciled as before.
According to her previous temper, Lin Xiaoni must be defensive against Wen Shaohua, and she will not quarrel to buy clothes after the matter is over, that is to say, subconsciously, Lin Xiaoni is confident about the reconciliation of Wen Shaohua and Zhao Yingran.
But why? Zhao Yingran couldn't figure out this problem, so she didn't go back to Lin Xiaoni's house last night.
Lin Xiaoni didn't sleep all night, waiting for Zhao Yingran's call, but the latter didn't even send a message. How could Lin Xiaoni not guess anything?
It's just that I don't know if she knows about the agreement between herself and Wen Shaohua, Lin Xiaoni is a little annoyed in her heart, she is very annoyed with Wen Shaohua, how can she be discovered?
The two were silent on the phone for a long time, and finally Lin Xiaoni mustered up the courage to ask, "You know?"
Zhao Yingran was silent and suddenly hung up the phone.
The voice of "Dididi" on the phone seemed to be laughing at Lin Xiaoni, Lin Xiaoni held the phone and felt a little sad, and suddenly hung up the phone? Don't you even want to listen to the explanation? Lin Xiaoni thought to herself, and was about to send her a text message, but the phone screen lit up again, and Zhao Yingran called again.
Lin Xiaoni hurriedly picked it up, and Zhao Yingran's voice came from the phone: "Do you remember the story of the mermaid?"
Lin Xiaoni narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and the other party hung up the phone again.
Lin Xiaoni was very helpless, thinking that you haven't gotten rid of this problem.
From the past, Wen Shaohua and Lin Xiaoni and many people knew that they couldn't mess with Zhao Yingran easily, because the other party liked to tell stories.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Yingran will not argue with you about anything after she gets angry, but will only tell you the story she once told, and let you think about your mistakes through that story.
What if you forget? What if you can't figure it out? Then you have to beg for the other party's forgiveness, and the key is that Zhao Yingran is very difficult.
Am I wrong? No, you're not wrong.
Is it my fault? No, it's my fault.
What do you want? No, I don't want anything.
............
............
Lin Xiaoni lay on the sofa and thought about it for a long, long time before she figured out the general idea of the story.
The story goes like this;
mermaid
I felt a chill to the bone.
I'm a merfolk.
He lived alone in the sea for three thousand years. On the blue sea, my sad song always floats.
When I was 300 years old, I swam in the direction of the undercurrents, swam past the islands in the depths of the twilight, stepped on the waves, rubbed shoulders with the white-flowered sharks under the huge bellies, and swam and kept swimming.
It wasn't until I came across the rocky island that I stopped. For I heard the sorrowful singing of the island, which resounded in the sky in a low voice. I looked in the direction of the singing from the island, and there was a Vault Dweller sitting on a mountain surrounded by rocks.
The sea is swirling, and the water is constantly moving, and when it encounters the island, it surrounds it and slowly stirs the island. The low island in front of me is covered with dense jungle, and the waves crash on the sand, revealing a piece of light. The fine sand is like cotton, and it is weak to the end, shining with golden light.
The jungle is full of wild vines, weeds and rocks, and in the depths, a mountain peak, a little higher than the jungle, is surrounded by rubble. The stones of the white flowers are one by one, layer upon layer. And to the highest place, sat the banished man.
The Vault Dweller looked at the endless sea in front of him with an affectionate gaze. I was in the sea in front of him, and I saw him as tender as water.
The mermaid's eye is the best in the world because it can see far away. For example, I can now see the Vault Dweller's cheeks, his cheeks that have been through vicissitudes but are gentle, the corners of his mouth that are charming but desolate like a pointed crescent, the long, dry fingers blown by the sea breeze with a ring with a tedious and old pattern, and his eyes looking at the sea with affection.
He loves to sing, I love his singing voice. He can always bring sadness into the song, is he singing for his misfortune?
He remembered his former lover, and I loved singing anyway.
"I remember your eyes that the sun can't cover,
And the sorrow you always say to me,
I've liked you all my life,
The most beautiful stars,
Four billion years,
It is the eternity of my promise to you".
In this way, I hid at a distance of what seemed to be a hundred thousand feet from him, listening to his singing, for fifty years.
In the past fifty years, I have seen him lean against the cliff and sing softly, I have seen him count the stars like a confused child, I have seen him stand up in the early morning with his chains tied to him, looking at the sea in front of him, motionless, and I have seen him laugh and mutter, his voice faint as if he did not want others to hear.
I seemed to be used to his presence, and when he was happy, I opened my mouth and smiled brightly. When he was sad, he didn't consciously feel sad. When he sang, he looked at him stupidly like a child and listened to him sing about the impermanence of the world.
But time will eventually make him old. He's a human being, I'm a mermaid, not a man of the world at all. By the time I had the most charming smile and the impeccable face, he was already green and old. But I still like his singing voice very much, as if I like Mingyue.
Finally, time changed, and he reached the end of his life, and he couldn't sing anymore.
One day, he walked slowly down the cliff with difficulty and sorrow—the first time a Vault Dweller had walked down the cliff. That's when I realized that the chains that bound him were just tied to his body.
He just spent his life in chains and sang to me - his life.
After a while, I saw him slowly coming out of the jungle, dragging his long white hair.
Step by step, he walked into the sea, into my world. It's just that he doesn't belong to this world, and he is suffocated and sad like the sun and moon that I watched him stand on the cliff many years ago.
He saw me and smiled at me. I swam to his side and hugged him tightly in my arms. He finally closed his eyes in reassurance. Watching him gradually lose his life in my arms, I didn't shed tears, but in the sea of the future, my mournful singing voice sang from time to time, just like his singing voice back then.
Vault Dweller
I love to sing,
I am a Vault Dweller.
Years ago, I made a promise to my sweetheart that if we couldn't be together, I would be banished to some sea to be a lonely Vault Dweller. She also said to me, "If you are banished, I will find you wherever you are, and I will be with you, and I will not care about the affairs of the world until I am old."
But in the end we were not together, and I fulfilled my promise to exile myself to an island full of rocks. And she didn't come to me in the end, because she is the Ear Clan, I am the Eye Clan, and we are not people of the same world.
The eyesight of the Eye Clan is comparable to that of the legendary mermaid, and they are able to see the farthest stars.
Throughout my life of exile, there was a girl who stayed with me, in what seemed to be a hundred thousand feet from me.
I could see her beautiful and a little hesitant face, and I could see her eyes when she saw me, and it turned out that she was a mermaid.
But that's pointless, because she likes to hear me sing, I like to sing to her, and that's enough. In this way, I spent my whole life singing to her, and she listened to me sing all my life. But we are not people of the same world after all, just like the one I loved the most many years ago.
When I grew old and could no longer sing the most beautiful songs, I made a bold decision to go out into her world and see her, just at a glance.
I dragged the chains I had tied with my own hands and walked into her world step by step.
But I am not from her world after all, I was suffocated before I could say a word, but it was okay that I came to her world just to see her, and now, I got my wish, and that was enough.
She embraced me into her arms, but I was sad, why didn't I come to see her sooner, when I had handsome cheeks and a vibrant smile, instead of the way she was now, with her hair curled.
I closed my eyes in her arms and stopped breathing. We were not originally people of the same world, and to be able to snuggle together at this moment is the greatest mercy that God has given me. Thinking about it, I felt like I had seen my fearless upright body many years ago, when I ......
onlooker
I'm going to lose my life.
My name is Tsukihime, and the person I love is a Vault Dweller.
Many years ago, we snuggled together and promised to live forever, thinking that it could be realized, but in the end, we could not do anything in the face of reality.
He fulfilled his oath and became a Vault Dweller with his own hands. And I, since I can't be with him, let me be his most affectionate companion.
I hid in an island surrounded by rocks, under the cliff where he was, and hid all my life.
He still likes to sing and sings all the time. Occasionally he would bow his head and whisper, I am the ear clan, I could hear his low voice, he said, I miss you so much, are you passing through the crowded city at this time? Or are you looking into the distance on the clouds of the morning mist, and you miss me as much as I do?
Whenever I heard his words, I was sad and shed tears, as if my life had been drained, and I couldn't help but want to rush up and hug him and say to him, I miss you so much.
But I can't, we're not people of the same world, we can't be together.
I was about to lose my life when his rickety body slowly walked into the sea, and I was just like him, with an old and green face.
It occurred to me that we were not people of the same world, so why should we be so embarrassed by each other? Why didn't we stand in front of him and say to him I love you earlier, and then whatever the world says about good and evil, hold his hand tightly, and never let go!
It's just that I've missed it, but I'm going to be separated, but I haven't understood fate.
End of story.
Lin Xiaoni thought about it for a long, long time, until the sun was rising, until her heart was as cold as death, she understood that what Zhao Yingran wanted to say was that we are not people of the same world, since we missed it, we missed it.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoni suddenly cried, thinking that I just want to make some extra money, how can you be so ruthless?
She looked at the few apples on the table and the glass with Zhao Yingran's lipstick print, and finally couldn't help crying.
............
............
Wen Shaohua thought about something, and suddenly laughed, Lao Wang laughed when he saw the boss thinking about something in the front row, and said, "The matter of Hangang has been settled?"
Wen Shaohua shook his head and said with a smile: "I just thought of something interesting." ”
Lao Wang nodded and went to drive intently.
The warm air was on in the car, it was very warm, and the temperature outside the car was below zero, and there was a layer of mist on the windows.
He thought to himself, you can be ruthless to anyone, but not to me.
I'm convinced of that.
Note: The name of the chapter is Jinshu is difficult to support, from Lu Youshi (hairpin head phoenix), and the meaning of the whole poem is fateless. And the sentence "No matter what the world says about good and evil, hold his hand tightly, and never let go!" in the story is from Zhang Bichen's song (Dream Zhuxian), the lyrics are very well written, and the poem is also good. The final description of Wen Shaohua is foreshadowing, and it should be revealed in the next chapter. And Lin Xiaoni and Zhao Yingran are coming to an end? Is it a bloody story of a friend's betrayal? No, no, no, it won't be so simple, please wait and see!
You will not be ruthless to anyone, this is Wen Shaohua's self-confidence!
