Chapter XXIII
One day when the kingfisher was chirping, looking at the crowd of people coming and going, Fang Qing took the initiative to drag Chu Nange's hand, and asked curiously as he walked down the stone steps: "Nange, what wish did you make to the Buddha just now?"
Feeling Ruyu's warm hand, Chu Nange thought for a while and said, "I don't promise anything, what do I need to make with you?"
When Fang Qing heard Chu Nange's words, she couldn't help but hold his hand tightly and smiled sweetly, and she didn't say anything more.
Maybe it's love, the woman in a purple dress swaying in the wind only sees herself in his eyes at this moment, and can't see the cold loneliness.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't love her, it's just a lonely person, no matter what, there are always some traces, even if you fall in love, that feeling will still exist.
Slowly walking down the Temple of Heaven, Chu Nange raised his eyes and looked around, and said to the sign in front of him that read "Winding Path of the Hidden Forest": "Shall we go there?"
Fang Qing stuck to Chu Nange's body and said, "Okay, there are many wooden boards engraved with the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra inserted on the mountain at the end of the road, and there is also a small pavilion where you can see the sea and the sunset, but unfortunately I didn't bring a camera today." ”
"Don't you have a mobile phone? Prajna Heart Sutra, go see it, but do you want to see the sunset?"
"Look, I like the sea the most. ”
"Hmm. ”
Walking on the road of bamboo shaking leaves, looking at the quiet and distant path, Chu Nange seemed to return to his childhood in a trance, he was not a person who grew up in this city.
His home was not here originally, but he only moved here later, if it weren't for He Shuhuan and Ye Nan, he would probably have left the city a long time ago, because there was nothing in the city that he could be attached to.
"Xiaoqing, it's good to meet you. ”
In the sound of flowing water, when he stepped across the ancient stone bridge, Chu Nange suddenly said something inexplicably, and Fang Qing, who was walking with him, was stunned and a little shy and replied: "Hmm." ”
Glancing at the people beside him, Chu Nange smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it, muttered in his heart that it was really good, and listened to Fang Qing quietly.
He had seldom spoken, or he was always too lazy to say anything, so the woman who didn't understand it thought it was just a sweet word, and didn't know what he really wanted to say.
If he hadn't met her, in two years, he would have left here and returned to his hometown to open a small shop and wait for him to grow old.
Because He Shuhuan and the others were busy with their own things, he couldn't find a reason to stay, he hated the excitement and the city, so he always wanted to leave here and return to his home, even if the building was empty long ago.
It was she who gave him a sense of belonging and a little attachment, which may not be deep now, but after a long time, it will be deep.
"Nange, do you think there is really a phoenix?"
In the soft and calm eyes, the eyes of a woman in a purple dress were reflected, and she said with a little smile: "Yes, it's hard to say, the ancient people used words to pass on words, legends and legends, and they changed their flavor when they were passed on." ”
Fang Qing flicked the long hair on his forehead, walked quickly and asked with a smile, "Do you believe that there is?"
Squinting his eyes and thinking about it, Chu Nange chuckled and said, "Why do you ask this?"
Fang Qing, who had already walked to the front and walked briskly, looked back and smiled: "There is a Phoenix Mountain in front, curious to ask." ”
Chu Nange shook his head and said with a smile: "Knowing everything means not understanding anything." ”
Fang Qing smiled: "It's almost here, let's find something to eat in a while, and then go back after watching the sunset, okay?"
Chu Nange looked at the huge wooden plank looming on the mountain in front of him, and said with a smile: "Well, then let's go back after reading it." ”
The beginning of love is actually a lot of gossip, meaningless and repetitive words, but often both men and women are keen on this kind of topic.
Because at this time, the beauty of love is enough to smooth out everything, and the other party's every move, smile and word, looks sweet and sweet.
Fang Qing had actually been here several times, but it was the first time she felt that this place was so beautiful.
Listening to Chu Nange talking about the Prajna Heart Sutra.
In saying that the phoenix can not actually be reborn from the fire, it is the descendants borrowed from the immortal birds of Western mythology to construct, in the ancient books, the phoenix is only a mortal bird, and the red bird can be reborn from the fire.
"So if the phoenix is caught by me, the cook, it will be a dish, fried, stewed, fried and roasted, the phoenix is a whole meal, why bask in the fire. ”
Fang Qing couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to the person sitting on the bench talking nonsense.
"Then remember to take me and let me eat too. ”
Chu Nange looked at the endless sea and said with a smile: "Of course." ”
On the gentle sea breeze on the mountain, as the sun sets, the flow of people gradually disperses, and two purple figures are still sitting on the bench facing the sea, sometimes silent but warm, sometimes laughing.
He didn't ask her when she was leaving, and she didn't say she was hungry, because both wanted to accompany each other to watch the sunset.
As the sun set, the sea was gilded with golden light, the trees were slightly yellow, and Fang Qing, who was standing in front of the wooden guardrail, looked sideways at the person with a calm look, and gently imprinted his lips on his face.
Like a dragonfly in water, he left again, but his heart was full of sweetness.
The person who was wandering in the sky was pulled back into the sunset by that kiss, and after being stunned, he reached out to wrap his arms around the waist of the woman next to him, pulled her closer to him, and said softly: "Xiaoqing." ”
"Nange. ”
In a low whisper, the two face-to-face people hugged each other for the first time and kissed each other for the first time.
There is no enthusiasm like fire, there is no earth-shattering, it is just plain and warm.
But this moment is enough for both of them, and this moment is eternal for them.
Even several other men and women watching the sunset together seemed to be frozen.
The heart is there, the people are there, if you are good, I am better.
After a kiss, the two who seemed to be closer did not walk back until the afterglow of the sunset was gone, walking in the dimly lit path, but the sunset did not seem to recede.
"Nange, I'm hungry.... ”
Whispered words sounded faintly.
Chu Nange smiled and said, "Then let's go, how about we go to dinner and watch a movie again?"
Fang Qing said with a happy face: "Well, but I want to eat the food you cooked." ”
"Well, then go to my house, I remember that there is still some vegetable meat that I haven't used. ”
In the dim light, although the road is dark, it illuminates the way home.
This night, Fang Qing did not go back, and went up to Chu Nange's house for the first time.
This night, for the two of them, nothing matters, the important thing is that the other party is right in front of them.
He loved her.
She loved him too.
That's enough.
If life is only as it first seems.
After the wind that sent away the night, looking at the sleeping people in the morning light, the loneliness in Chu Nange's eyes still existed, but it was a little lighter.
Life still exists, the world still turns, but from this day on, there is an additional figure in his world, a figure that can lead him forward, a figure that can lead him out of the darkness.
