Chapter 40: Parting 1--- Don't worry on the road 1
On the third day after Lin Yue'er returned to Nanjing, Li Shaohui received a call from Lin Yue'er's mother, inviting him to meet in a café.
When Li Shaohui arrived at the meeting place, there was already an elegant woman, sitting there waiting. Li Shaohui breathed a sigh of relief, walked over slowly, and the two nodded slightly and sat opposite each other. Although Li Shaohui was a little uneasy, he still couldn't help but look at the future mother-in-law, she had decent makeup and proper clothing, and the years didn't seem to have left any traces on her.
The corners of her eyes were fine wrinkles when she smiled gently, and although her face was still fair under the care of cosmetics, it was no longer as delicate and smooth as it had been;
Li Shaohui thought of this woman's experience of losing her son and husband, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart, "Alas, another woman who has been vicissitudes of time." Her past was like a dark tide under the surface of the lake, surging and dangerous, hurting both her and the girl who had been smiling at her. ”
When Li Shaohui looked at Lin Yue'er's mother, Lin Yue'er's mother's eyes also lingered on Li Shaohui, and after a while, she smiled: "You are Yue'er's boyfriend, Xiao Li, right?"
Li Shaohui nodded respectfully and said, "Auntie, hello." ”
Lin Yue'er's mother smiled indifferently and said, "I have heard about you and Yue'er, what are you going to do?"
Li Shaohui closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looked out the window, and said slowly: "Auntie, I'm not afraid of you scolding me, before I met Yue'er, I actually had two girlfriends, and I also loved them very much, but in the end, I broke up by mistake." After breaking up with them, I met Yue'er again, and it was in Yue'er that I understood what love was, what I needed, and who I loved most in my life. So I don't want to let go, and I also ask her not to let go, we should work together to overcome difficulties and tide over difficulties together. ”
Lin Yue'er's mother sighed and said with a wry smile: "Auntie believes that you care about Yue'er, and Yue'er also misses you, but have you ever thought about it? If the two of you are together, what should the terminally ill girl do?"
Li Shaohui smiled bitterly and muttered, "I don't know, I don't know." ”
Lin Yue'er's mother looked at Li Shaohui's painful appearance and said softly: "Xiao Li, in fact, you know how to do it, when you learned that the girl was terminally ill and cried to Yue'er, you already had a decision in your heart." It's just that you're afraid of hurting Yue'er, and you're afraid of letting down our poor girl, Yue'er, so you're in pain and hesitating. Then in that case, let Yue'er take the initiative to give up, fulfill you, fulfill you and the sick girl, and don't embarrass you. ”
"Fulfill me?" Li Shaohui smiled bitterly, his heart full of sadness.
Lin Yue'er's mother smiled helplessly, as if she had thought of something again, and sighed: "Did Yue'er tell you about me and Yue'er's father?"
Li Shaohui nodded hesitantly, not knowing what Lin Yue'er's mother meant.
Lin Yue'er's mother said: "After so many years, with the passage of time, I slowly understood a truth. ”
Li Shaohui didn't ask, just waited quietly for Lin Yue'er's mother to tell.
Lin Yue'er's mother stared for a long time, and then said slowly: "If I hadn't divorced Yue'er's father at the beginning, I wouldn't have broken up a happy family, I wouldn't have let Yue'er send someone under the fence, and there would have been no tragedy of Yue'er's brother's suicide... If I can let go of Yue'er's brother's suicide and reconcile with Yue'er's father, then Yue'er's father will not die with regrets, so because of my selfishness, I have hurt the two men closest to me in my life, one is a son and the other is a husband, hehe..."
Li Shaohui felt the same way, and said astringently: "Auntie, I know what you said, I know that love is dedication and giving, but why do you say that you have to let the person you love the most dedicate and give? Is it because she loves me the most?"
Lin Yue'er's mother smiled bitterly: "The matter of love words, I can't help myself. You left Yue'er, Yue'er and me and Ke'er were by her side, so it wouldn't be too miserable, but I heard that the girl who was terminally ill had a rough fate, her grandmother died, her father was in prison, she was seriously ill, and she had a weak brother, if you left her, how would you let her live?"
Thinking of the tragic experience of the promise, Li Shaohui's heart hurt like a drop of blood, he lowered his head and muttered: "I know that Duo'er is unlucky, I know that she is very pitiful, and I also want to help her, no one in this world feels more sorry for her than me, but--but I don't want to hurt Yue'er because of this, Yue'er has been hurt by me once, I don't want to hurt her a second time, I said, I want to stay with her for a lifetime, I want to protect her for a lifetime, but it's only been a few years, am I going to be a treacherous person again?"
"Creation makes people!" Lin Yue'er's mother sighed helplessly, and said softly: "Xiao Li, Auntie knows that you love Yue'er very much, and Yue'er loves you very much, Auntie said something selfish, Auntie, as a mother, should also strive for happiness for her daughter."
But Auntie's life experience tells Auntie a truth, no matter what, we must be kind to those who have loved ourselves and those we have loved, if things can't be both, then we have to sacrifice our own happiness and make the best choice.
If you insist on being with Yue'er, Yue'er will naturally not disagree, but will you be happy for the rest of your life? When you think of that sick girl, don't you feel guilty?"
Li Shaohui sighed bitterly and said astringently: "Auntie, I want to ask you, is this what Yue'er means?"
Lin Yue'er's mother nodded silently and said, "She also said that you won't let her down, she can't bear to tell you this, so she asked me to come to see you." ”
Li Shaohui looked at Lin Yue'er's mother steadily, the tears in his eyes could no longer flow uncontrollably, and he hoarsely said in pain: "How can this be? How can it be like this? She used to laugh at me for being stupid, I am stupid, but she is the number one big fool in the world, and the person she loves deeply she gave away so easily? A few days ago, she also told me that she is just a woman, not a saint, why did she break her promise in just a few days?"
Lin Yue'er's mother was also infected by Li Shaohui's sadness, and once again silently shed tears, she sobbed: "Xiao Li, if you miss Yue'er, go there and wait for her in three days, she also wants you to give her a ride before parting." ”
"Where?" Li Shaohui wiped his tears and asked in surprise.
Lin Yue'er's mother shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Yue'er didn't tell me, she just said that she would start and end where she started!"
"Start?end?" Li Shaohui groaned and thought of the afternoon after the rain.
Three days later, Li Shaohui drove to the place where the two of them started in Lin Yue'er's mouth, and the sky was not beautiful on the road, and there was a sporadic light rain, which was dripping and dripping, connecting into one rain line after another, intermittently, just like the love silk between Li Shaohui and Lin Yue'er, although there were tens of millions, none of them were complete.
Entering Mochou Street, Li Shaohui arrived at the bus booth where he was waiting for Lin Yue'er for the first time, and he thought that he had met two girls who were not very serious here that day, and they said that they asked the girls out on a rainy day, and the chance of successfully holding hands was only 20%, and he didn't think so at the time, and he also commented on them. But I didn't expect that a few years later, it would really come true, not only did it come true, but I was afraid that if I said goodbye today, I wouldn't even have a chance to do so, I was afraid that he and the girl he loved the most in his life would eventually become strangers and become the most familiar strangers.
Today's weather is also the same as the day Li Shaohui confessed, the light rain continues, the washed world is clean but hazy, there are no pedestrians and vehicles on the street, it seems that God is specially going to set aside a clean and free place for this pair of infatuated men and women in the world, so that they can stage a clean and earthly love, with tears in their eyes, a smile on their faces, waving goodbye, and forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.
In Li Shaohui's sadness, there was a Jiangnan woman wearing a moon-white cicada wing gauze cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella strolling leisurely and coming slowly.
Li Shaohui was in a trance, the delicate anger on his face like a peach blossom, the orchid breath of his slender body, and the gentleness and generosity of his gestures, which did not make him crazy? Which did not make him crazy?
This is the person Li Shaohui loves most in his life, for her, he can abandon and ignore the world's three thousand red faces; for her, he can treat all kinds of power desires in life as dung; for her, he can let the red dust be like flowing water; for her, he has long thought about being like an ascetic, practicing sincerely, prostrate at her feet, just for her to look down once.
But the years have been long, the vicissitudes of life, and now, he actually wants to bury his happiness with his own hands, and watch the Yiren of life go away?
Lin Yue'er walked over, looked at the demented Li Shaohui, and smiled gently, that smile was joyful, coquettish, and sad...
Li Shaohui's heart was sour, and he choked up: "Girl, I..."
Lin Yue'er smiled lightly, put her index finger to her mouth, and motioned for Li Shaohui to silence, and then she slowly pulled up Li Shaohui's rough and trembling hands and clasped them tightly with her slender hands, and said softly: "Shaohui, do you remember the day you confessed to me?"
Li Shaohui smiled bitterly and said, "Naturally remember, I will never forget it for the rest of my life." ”
"Then let's do it again, okay?" Lin Yue'er said softly, her face full of hope.
"Don't say it once, if time can stop, I would like us to stay in that picture for the rest of our lives, holding each other's hands, never parting, going on and on..."Li Shaohui looked at Lin Yue'er and held her hand a little tighter.
In this way, a pair of good men and women in the world, holding each other's hands, as if reincarnation, walked on Mochou Street again, where there are sycamores, drizzle, laughter, and sadness...
On that year, that day, on that day of January, holding each other's hands, they made a vow to love each other for a lifetime, and spent several years of beautiful spring and autumn together.
This year, this month, and this day, they let go of each other again, and said that it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and since then they have gone away from each other, and the world is on different sides.
