Chapter Eighty-Eight: Smoke and Rain

Yinglong recalls the scene when Wen Xue made "Manhattan".

Wen Xue's faint eyes aroused a long-lost impulse.

If Shiwei is like a lovely and sultry rose, and Yuxin is like a noble and elegant rose, then Wenxue is like a cluster of fresh and fragrant narcissus.

Yinglong's heart beat violently, pounding.

He didn't know how to manage the feeling of silence.

A long-lost heartbeat, like a glacier bathed in sunlight slowly melting, a trickle rushing down from the top of the mountain.

He realized that his feelings were about to overflow.

However, can he accept this feeling, and how should he grasp it?

Yinglong slept on the bed and rolled over, and lay on his side instead, with his arms under his head.

It's late at night, but he still can't sleep, Yinglong decided to leave it alone for the time being, anyway, it won't start until noon tomorrow, and it doesn't matter if you wake up late.

He has been back to Bincheng for a while and bought a second-hand house to settle down.

Yinglong didn't want to trouble his parents, so he bought a second-hand house to live in when he had plenty of money. The location is not far from the clouds, and it is also convenient to commute, just a ten minute walk is enough.

Yinglong remembered that one night, when he was cleaning up old things, he saw a jade plaque, which was a piece of ink jade engraved with Dilian.

This jade plaque was given to him by Yu Xin at the beginning.

It was a rectangular piece of jade, thick dark green, tied with a red rope. The red thread has turned dark red, and it looks like it has been around for some time. The jade plaque is engraved with two blooming lotus flowers, growing side by side on a lotus pedicle. The lines are simple, but the pattern is vivid, and the knife work is also very unique, and the image is three points into the wood.

This was given to her by Yuxin's grandmother at the beginning, and she kept it for protection against evil spirits, and she has been carefully storing it.

That time, Yinglong celebrated Yuxin's birthday, and she gave this piece of Hetilian to Yinglong. Because he was afraid of losing it, Yinglong put it in a small wooden box.

Later, because of the long time, Yinglong forgot about it.

Therefore, when he broke up with Yuxin, Yinglong forgot to return the jade card to her. For some reason, Yu Xin didn't mention this matter to him, so the thing kept in Yinglong's hands.

Now seeing this jade plaque, Yinglong remembered an ancient poem.

And Dilian has a flower saying since ancient times: "Green lotus covers green water, and hibiscus is covered with red and fresh." There is a root lotus root under it, and a lotus root on the top. ”

This jade plaque engraved with a lotus flower symbolizes a hundred years of good union and eternal union.

When Yinglong got this jade card, he was very grateful to Yu Xin for being so generous, and such a valuable black jade lotus card was given to him, so Yinglong immediately gave Yu Xin a jade Guanyin he was wearing, she was very happy, and she kept it on her body later.

Yinglong thought of this incident and felt a little melancholy, but with a little regret.

Now he and Yuxin have become two families, although they were husband and wife in the past, they have gone through twists and turns, and now they are still separated from each other, but the scene of love together is still reflected in Yinglong's mind.

I remember that Yinglong and his colleagues had an event and drank a lot of liquor at noon. But it was the height of summer, and the temperature was quite high at noon. Yinglong was so drunk that he didn't even know how to take a taxi home, probably because he felt that it was not far from home, so he braved the scorching sun at noon to walk home.

As a result, when he got home, he fell asleep on the bed.

I don't know how long it took, Yinglong's body became hot and hot, and he was sweating profusely, probably from heat stroke.

In the afternoon, Yu Xin found that Yinglong was still sleeping soundly, and it had been a long time, but he couldn't wake him up.

So Yuxin couldn't help but touch Yinglong's forehead and found that he was having a fever. Yuxin was anxious, and hurriedly took a towel wrapped in ice cubes to help Yinglong wipe his sweat and cool down.

In this way, Yuxin kept wiping his sweat, Yinglong's body temperature gradually dropped, and her body no longer sweated, so she was relieved.

When Yinglong woke up, he found Yu Xin, who was sitting beside him and had been guarding him, still carrying a cold towel in his hand, and finally understood what Yu Xin had done for him.

He was very grateful, held Yuxin's cold fingers, and said to her: "Yuxin, I'm sorry for your trouble, thank you." ”

After speaking, he gently hugged Yu Xin's waist, and Yu Xin stretched out her fingers to stroke Ying Long's hair.

Yinglong still remembers the scene at that time, he loves Yuxin very much and has always regarded her as a caring companion.

I remember that once he and Yuxin came out after watching a movie, and the two of them were not happy, so they decided to walk back

Family. Unexpectedly, Yu Xin wore a new pair of shoes, although the heel is not high, but after all, it is a pair of new shoes, which is so hard

Somewhat awkward.

Yinglong noticed that Yu Xin's walking was a little wrong, she was limping and her steps were a little slow, so she stopped her pace and asked her what was going on, and when she asked, she realized that it was her shoes grinding her feet.

So Yinglong came up with an idea: "Your feet hurt, don't go, let me carry you!" After speaking, he squatted down and let Yuxin climb on his back.

Yu Xin was a little hesitant, although she was not heavy, but she was a girl, and there was still a distance from home, so it was a bit unreasonable to let Yinglong carry it like this?

Moreover, the two of them walked on the street, for fear of being seen by acquaintances, but Yinglong felt that Yuxin's feet hurt and it was not a matter to go on.

But Yuxin immediately said: "No, no, I'm too heavy!"

Yinglong didn't care so much, he just put his body close to Yu Xin, stretched his hands back, put Yu Xin on his back, spread his legs, and strode forward.

Yu Xin was so frightened that she hugged Yinglong's neck tightly, and couldn't help screaming, while laughing and knocking Yinglong's shoulder anxiously with her small fist, asking him to stop immediately and not wait for the next fall together.

Yinglong laughed triumphantly.

In this way, Yinglong panted for a distance, gradually slowed down, and walked slowly with Yuxin on his back.

Yu Xin pressed her body tightly against Yinglong's back, her hair falling between his collar, Yinglong felt that his neck was itchy, but he was very happy, and he could also feel Yuxin's temperature.

In this way, Yinglong carried her on his back and talked while walking.

Walking all the way to a nearby pharmacy, Yinglong knocked on the window of the 24-hour operation, bought a pack of Band-Aids from the clerk, carefully tore open the package, put a piece on Yuxin's worn skin, and then helped her put on her shoes.

The two of them sat on the steps of the pharmacy and snuggled up to each other for a while.

Later, Yinglong carried Yuxin on his back for a distance.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and there were few pedestrians on the road, so the two of them walked to the vicinity of Yuxin's house so stupidly.

Looking back now, Yinglong is glad that the movie theater is not far from Yu Xin's house, otherwise he would have been carrying Yu Xin on his back like this, and he would have to be exhausted.

But later, he carried Yuxin on the street in the middle of the night more than once, regardless of whether her feet were worn by her shoes at that time.

And Yu Xin was also willing to let Yinglong carry it like this, and even deliberately said that her feet hurt, so that Yinglong could carry her.

Yinglong knew that Yuxin said this on purpose, but he was also willing to carry Yuxin on his back, perhaps this would make him feel Yuxin's warm breath more.

Yinglong once talked to her about an ancient poem: "I am willing to make a drop of poplar branch water, sprinkle it on the world and Dilian." At this time, Tilian was still there, but she was not what she was at the beginning.

If they hadn't gone through so many twists and turns, gathering and scattering like duckweed, maybe they would still be two lotus flowers leaning on each other.

At this time, where are the two lotus roots, they have become the two-leaf duckweed in the pool, gathering and scattering with fate.

As the poet Liu Yong said: "Leaning on the dangerous building, the wind is fine, looking at the extreme spring sorrow, and the sky is gloomy." In the grass-colored smoke and afterglow, there is no word who will rely on the column. ”

The mood that was once confused was secretly depressed and sad because of this.

He didn't know how Yu Xin thought about the fate in the past, but he knew that now that it was over, even if the lotus root was broken, he would have to wait for a while until the wound was gradually healed.

But when Yinglong looked at the energetic Wen Xue in front of him, he wouldn't be shaken.

But when I think of Yu Xin and Xiao Yingrui, and I feel that there is still an unfinished relationship left in my heart, there is always an inextricable concern connecting the three of them.

There is an invisible force that keeps them from being too far apart, and even if they are in two places, that concern connects them together.

Even in a dream, there may be someone's voice and smile that comes to mind from time to time, which is embarrassing.

Yinglong will also complain about Yu Xin, complaining that she is inattentive and ignores his feelings. But after a long time, he will miss Yuxin again, guess her situation at this time, and complain about his simplicity and rudeness.

Yu Xin would also think of Yinglong, but Yinglong didn't dare to identify her thoughts, and didn't try to ask her

meaning. He didn't want to be misunderstood by Yu Xin, and he didn't want to be embarrassed.

Of course, Yu Xin also has similar thoughts, after all, she is a woman and will never be so proactive.

Yu Xin would rather wait than compromise too soon.

Rather than being alone, I don't want to be misunderstood by Yinglong. Although they were both speculating about each other's thoughts, if they didn't say it, they couldn't reveal their hearts.

They are a stubborn couple, Yinglong is like this, and Yuxin is also like this.

Although they are all dissatisfied, because of the existence of fate, they will not easily become the same

Person. After all, the ripples of affection are still rippling around them, and these two duckweeds are still there

Will it be pushed together by the ripples? Maybe a pair of lotus flowers will grow on the stem of the flower again?

Yinglong thought about it, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, who would appear in his dream tonight?

The night was deep, and the stars twinkled outside the window. In the land under the stars, people fall asleep with various moods.

Yinglong's mind is like a magic bottle, stirring with incredible throbbing, churning with colorful fantasy colors, and tasting the sweet and sour taste.

He thought that he could be as calm as water, but in countless thoughts and aftertastes, there was even a little afterglow.

He couldn't believe how he felt, and he was going to fall into the cycle of feelings. Yinglong has been full of sadness, will he lose his way again for the sake of warmth?

Wen Xue's misty eyes and the affectionate veins transmitted by Yu Xin made him fall into the deep web.

Yinglong was like riding a sailboat on the blue sea, he struggled to sail to a small island in the distance, but he was forever separated by an untouchable distance, and he was about to get close to his goal, but one wave after another gently pushed him into the distance.

Yinglong's heart couldn't resist the power of that tenderness, but it always held a sense of resistance and pushed him back in waves.

He can only taste this irresistible attraction in the depths of his soul, but only observe everything with a serious mask on his waking hours.

His heart has been struggling with contradictions, but he is more afraid that the contradiction between desire and reality is even more unbearable.

Yinglong had no choice but to bury hope in the bottom of his heart, like burying an ancient treasure deep in a corner that no one knows.

He didn't want others to touch his heart, and he didn't want to dig it out with his own hands and expose it to the sun.

It was only in the middle of the night that he dared to touch this treasure and fall asleep with the residual warmth.

In the untouchable depths of his soul is his huddled heart, which would rather look at the stars at midnight and imagine the beauty of the sky than take a step to enjoy the soothing of the evening breeze.

Because he was afraid that in the darkness of the night, the bitter wind and rain hidden in the dark would suddenly hit and make him miserable.

Although the red world is beautiful, and the world is more nostalgic, there are also storms and impermanences, which make people haggard. Instead of smoke and rain, it is better to have a heart like Bodhi.
