Chapter 59: Orion and Artemis
In the deep sea night, Su Ziqi told Zhong Zimu about the origin of Orion, and her voice was soft and deep, which made Zhong Zimu fall into a murmuring thought.
"One day, while hunting in the mountains, Orion met Artemis, the moon god Artemis, the sister of the sun god Apollo, and he saw that Artemis was very beautiful, and he fell in love with this woman at first sight. And Artemis fell in love with the sturdy and handsome Orion at first sight. ”
"Is it like you and me?" Zhong Zimu looked at the sea in the thick of the night, and his feelings were heavy.
Su Ziqi did not answer, but continued to speak: "After the two fell in love, they became inseparable, and Orion also taught Artemis to shoot. As their relationship grew, so did the opposition, especially when Artemis abandoned his duty to shine the night sky for the sake of her lover, which made her brother Apollo hate Orion. ”
"It seems that there is not only a struggle where there are people, but also a struggle where there is a god's residence!" Zhong Zimu sighed meaningfully, "Where there is a struggle, there are sacrifices, let's see if I guess right, is someone losing their lover?"
Su Ziqi's face turned pale, and she continued lightly: "Later, her brother thought of a way to kill Orion. One day, Apollo took advantage of Aurion walking on the sea, and he covered the moonlight with the daylight, so that Artemis could not see the whole picture. He said to his sister Artemis, 'Behold there is a beast on the sea, and they say that you are good at archery, and you can shoot that beast to death?'
"Pointing to a deer as a horse, it's really a ruthless move!" Zhong Zimu didn't seem to be listening to the story, but watching a game of chess.
Su Ziqi remained silent and continued: "Artemis thought that if his lover Orion saw the beast, he would shoot the beast again, and sometimes fight with the beast, which was very dangerous. So, she drew her bow and arrows and shot at what her brother called the 'beast'. The Beast was shot, and Orion fell!"
Zhong Zimu no longer interrupted Su Ziqi, and the next thing was that the moon god lost his lover, and he was no stranger to this feeling!
Su Ziqi continued: "Artemis rushed to check, and found out that it was his lover Orion who was shot, but everything was irreparable. ”
Later, this incident moved the god Zeus. Zeus raised Orion to the heavenly realm. Artemis loved her lover Orion so much that she placed a rabbit at Orion's feet to prevent him from fighting the beast in the sky, so that he could chase only the rabbit. ”
"That's the story of Orion. Su Ziqi finally finished telling the story, she looked up at the sky, as if she saw the star on the belt around Orion's waist suddenly radiating a very dazzling light!
"Killed your lover with your own hands, what do you think it's like?" Su Ziqi asked in a low voice, she remembered her despair before committing suicide, and suddenly rekindled her bitter hatred for Zhong Zimu, which had already begun to brew when Zhong Zimu pointed out to her Orion.
"Killing your lover with your own hands? I'm afraid it's the most painful thing in this life, right? It's more painful than death!" Zhong Zimu opened a bottle of red wine on the terrace, quickly brought a glass, and handed it to Su Ziqi.
Su Ziqi looked at the blood mixed in the wine-red goblet, the blood around her body seemed to solidify in an instant, and she said sadly: "Since it is so painful, why would you kill your lover with your own hands?"
"Forced by the situation, or blinded by someone!" Zhong Zimu took a sip of the red wine in the glass, today's atmosphere was destined to be sad, and even the topic was so controversial.
"This is really a good excuse, the situation is compelling, if everything can be explained in these four words, everything is taken for granted, then, there will be no true feelings! People say that Orion is a poignant love story, I only see the sadness, but I don't see the beauty! Artemis is also contrived, if it is really painful, why not pay for it with death?"
Su Ziqi shook the red wine in the cup, and the rotating centripetal force shook the red wine out of a vortex that penetrated deep into the bottom of the glass, as if it could sweep away all the red dust in an instant!
"Ziqi, you are wrong, to spend your life to grieve, more courageous than to die, and to bear more! If the person you love dies, then the rest of the people must live with ten times more courage than death, because death is only a momentary pain, and life is eternal pain!"
Zhong Zimu held the red wine in one hand and gently lifted Su Ziqi's chin with the other, "Do you know, if I also die, then Jiang Wan will completely disappear from this world, and if I am still alive, she will be by my side and will never leave!"
After saying this, Zhong Zimu stared at Su Ziqi deeply, as if he wanted to see something flaw in her expression.
Su Ziqi was startled, knowing that Zhong Zimu had already heard that he was reflecting him and Jiang Wan, so she broke the fingers that Zhong Zimu was pinching her chin and turned her head slightly, "I'm talking about Greek stories, who said you?"
Zhong Zimu sighed slightly, "I know you're testing me with Jiang Wan!"
Su Ziqi's hand trembled suddenly, and the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground, "What am I trying you to do?"
"I know your thoughts, do you feel that your heart is unbalanced, and you always compare yourself with Jiang Wan, or it is because now that I am under pressure from my family, I will test my love for you! Ziqi, it is a very hard-won thing for two people to fall in love with each other, why do you make each other so tired?"
Zhong Zimu said it well, no matter what the purpose is, Su Ziqi's repeated temptations between the feelings of the two people are not empty words.
Every time, Su Ziqi handed out a thorn like a hedgehog, Zhong Zimu would feel deeply uneasy, he wanted to smooth Su Ziqi's tentative defense, and at the same time bandaged his wounds helplessly, do you have to hurt each other if you love each other?
Su Ziqi didn't refute after hearing it, she loved Zhong Zimu, and even thought of loving him for a while, but she couldn't do it without a trace, and even at a certain moment, she once thought about turning over the grievances between Jiang Wan and Zhong Zimu, after all, in this life, Zhong Zimu saved her life, if she counted one life for one life, she also earned enough, but she never loved him without stinging and injury.
Should he let go of his thorns? Should he let go of his original purpose? Perhaps, as he said, he was forced by circumstances to not save Jiang Wan?
Zhong Zimu saw that Su Ziqi was suddenly silent for a while, and knew that he was too anxious, after all, the current situation was a little embarrassing for Su Ziqi, if the mess of his marriage was solved, this would be a good medicine for Su Ziqi's heart!
Thinking like this, Zhong Zimu put down his wine glass and sat next to Su Ziqi, "Ziqi, believe me, I will definitely be able to solve the matter, even if I can't solve it, I can't marry Lan Ruomei, that will only hurt two women!"
As she spoke, Zhong Zimu grabbed Su Ziqi's head and put it on her chest, so that she could hear his heart pounding and beating powerfully, "Wan'er is the past that I can't live up to, you are the present that I can't live up to, you listen, it's beating for you!"
Su Ziqi listened to Zhong Zimu's heartbeat, and this strong and powerful beat seemed to really show that Zhong Zimu did not have a dark sunny heart. Su Ziqi gently helped one hand up, and this chest was also solid and warm, allowing her to find the sense of security that had not been stored for a long time!
Should we really give up hate, as Paul says?
Su Ziqi was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard Zhong Zimu exclaim: "Ziqi, look at the sky!"
As soon as Su Ziqi looked up, she saw that there was a star in the sky that Zhong Zimu pointed to, although that star was at the edge of the sky, it emitted a strange blue light, which was very different from the surrounding stars!
"The color of this star ......" Su Ziqi was amazed, she found that the color of this star was actually dark blue!
"Yes, the color of this star is very similar to the color of the cornflower we are looking for, which is really peculiar!" Zhong Zimu not only sighed.
Su Ziqi couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard Zhong Zimu call out the sapphire variety they were looking for, she didn't remember that she had told Zhong Zimu that this sapphire was cornflower.
"How do you know that sapphire is cornflower?" asked Su Ziqi.
"Anyway, I also won the Presidential Award, not even a physicist can be regarded as a small achievement in the physics field, right?" Speaking of this, Zhong Zimu hooked the corners of his mouth proudly.
"I checked the relevant information according to the spectrum of the sapphire on He Qing's hand, and I knew that the sapphire belonged to the cornflower, and the important thing is that the sapphire on He Qing's ring is still the king of sapphires cornflower that was discovered in Kashmir a few years ago!"
"Do you know this?" Su Ziqi was surprised that Zhong Zimu did have an extraordinary ability to discern, even if he was a physicist, he might not be able to know all kinds of gemstones, it seemed that Zhong Zimu had done his homework with his heart.
"The world is so big, there are too many things I don't know, but if I want to know something, I will definitely be able to figure it out!" Zhong Zimu looked at Su Ziqi's eyes with deep eyes, and there was a complicated declaration in that gaze!
Su Ziqi didn't dare to stare at the pair of eagle-like eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, she adjusted her position in Zhong Zimu's arms and shifted her gaze!
"Wait until next year, next year, next year, we will still come here, see Orion, okay?" Zhong Zimu gradually wrapped his arms and hugged Su Ziqi.
"Will it be that long next year?" Su Ziqi said with emotion to the sky.
"Yes, of course there will be!" Zhong Zimu gently rested his chin on Su Ziqi's flexible silky hair, "As long as you don't betray me, as long as you don't abandon me, we will go on until the day we live together in the stars!"
Zhong Zimu said softly, but this word was like a thunderbolt in Su Ziqi's ears!
How could these two words be said so easily in this man's mouth, did he smell something in his heart?
Su Ziqi struggled for a while, wanting to look up at Zhong Zimu's expression, but was hugged tightly by Zhong Zimu, and then a deep kiss fell on her lips.
As a last resort, she closed her eyes and fell into the illusion of not being able to see him clearly!
