Chapter 271: The Finale
This feeling vaguely made her feel like she was back at her grandmother's house at that time.
Summer's fingers rubbed against the wall, and Zhou Ziliang could see her stunned. also thought of his original intention of doing this for her, so he took the initiative to tell her.
"I know you must be curious as to why I know this pattern. Actually, it's because I've seen your diary before, and I've seen your drawings in your diary. So, I learned what it looked like in the painting and built a hut here. ”
Summer used to always say because he lost his home. So he has always wanted to work hard to give her back the same home, and return all the blessings he accidentally deprived of to her.
Seeing that summer is so happy today, I finally got my wish, and these efforts have not been in vain.
There was originally a little smile on Summer's face, but it suddenly dimmed: "Those things are only in my memory, and even if the layout of this place is similar, it is not my home." ”
Her heart was already full of dust and frost, and she couldn't go back to the past.
Zhou Ziliang continued to want to introduce her to the other layouts of the room, but Summer interrupted him at this time.
"Zhou Ziliang, let's stop here. Don't do that anymore, I know what your heart is. But I can't give you an answer right now, it's not just about myself, it's about you. ”
It seems that now, no matter what, it can't be saved, Zhou Ziliang suddenly didn't know what to say: "Summer ......"
Summer took a deep breath and raised her face to smile at him. Sunlight filtered in through the window and shone on half of her face. There was a slight halo, and her smile at the moment was very pure. It's like the one you first encountered, without any impurities.
But it was only at that time that his mind was pulled that he realized that he had missed what a beautiful time she had. Even if you want to make up for it now, you are already separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and you have already lost your way back.
Summer smiled slightly, and there was a bright halo in her eyes: "Do you remember the thing you promised me before?"
Zhou Ziliang asked, "What?"
"You promised me that time, no matter what happens between us in the future. Will our relationship come to fruition, you will accompany me to Tekapo one more time. Just think of it as if I accompanied Ziyu to Tekapo once, and in this way, I fulfilled my promise to him. ”
Of course he remembers, he was stupid enough to think at the time. It will definitely be after they get married, or when they are happily together.
It's just that I didn't expect that later, there would be many changes.
Zhou Ziliang nodded: "I remember, no matter when, I will accompany you, as long as you speak." ”
"Good. Summer turned her head to look out the window, "Then you can arrange it quickly, clean up as soon as possible, and we will rush to Tekapo immediately." ”
I don't understand why she is so urgent, but Zhou Ziliang will not refuse Summer's request. So I immediately arranged to buy a plane at 7 p.m. and fly to Wellington.
The last time I went to Tekapo, it was because I wanted to go in the summer, and Zhou Ziliang forced her to escape here with him. But this time it was different, and Summer was able to take the initiative to let him go with her. Even as someone else, he is willing to do it.
is like a fish thirsty for water, even if there is less rain in the sky, you can feel that little rain and dew, and you stupidly feel that there is still hope.
After getting on the plane, Summer has been sleeping and has not communicated with him. Zhou Ziliang knew that the pregnant woman was very tired, so he was just by the side, trying to take care of her as much as possible, hoping to spend the twenty hours of flight as soon as possible.
By the time I arrived in Tekapo, I had already gotten off the plane and had been changing trains for several hours. Zhou Ziliang arranged accommodation in the tourist destination in advance, he originally wanted to let him sleep well in the summer.
However, when I arrived, it was night, and I could see the most beautiful starry sky. So she stubbornly refused to sleep, and took him to the old place to revisit.
In the summer, I wore a photo of Zhou Ziyu, and I carefully kept the photo in my arms throughout the whole process.
This is the first time in a long time that Zhou Ziliang has seen such a resolute expression on her face. Before, she was very decadent, as if she had lost hope of life.
But now, although her spirit is not very good, it seems that there is some huge strength that has been supporting her, so that she can complete this trip strongly.
When the two men arrived in front of the Shepherd's Church again, there were already many tourists gathered in front of the church. There are also many people waiting in the open space with long guns and short cannons, Zhou Ziliang walked by with Xia Xia and heard others discuss, There will be a meteor tonight.
Zhou Ziliang looked at Xia Xia who was slightly distracted, and held her right hand more tightly, he smiled and said, "Did you hear just now, they said that there would be a meteor tonight." ”
Summer tilted her head: "Well, I heard you." ”
Life is in the world, life is obviously so short, but it seems very long. I've heard too many things, but they all say that if you make a wish on a shooting star, your wish will come true. She didn't know if it was also a superstition, but if she could, she really wanted everything to go back to the beginning.
Because there were more people than expected, I suddenly didn't know what else to do. Summer and Zhou Ziliang found a vacant space at random, and began to wait in the open space, whether the rumored meteor shower will come tonight.
In summer, I looked up at the sky slightly, the sky was full of stars, and the Milky Way was bright.
Ziyu, who used to yearn for the sky and asteroids so much, would definitely feel very happy if he could come here in person and see all this scenery.
She took out the picture in her arms and faced the direction of the sky. Looking up at the sky with Zhou Ziyu in the photo, at this moment, the surroundings are quiet, there is no sound, no lights, and no sweet couples, only the universe remains, as well as her Ziyu.
This time she brought Ziyu here, even if she passed away in the future. When she saw Ziyu in heaven, she could also tell him that she had not broken her promise and promised him, and she had really done it.
Zhou Ziliang stood by the side all the time and didn't disturb her.
He knew before he came that the protagonist this time was not him, but Zhou Ziyu. And the purpose of his visit this time is to accompany Summer and protect her safety.
Although Zhou Ziyu's life is short, it can be regarded as a very happy life.
When he was alive, he received all the love of his parents, and after he died, there are still so many people who have been thinking about him and remembering his existence.
And he, Zhou Ziliang, has done all the bad things in his life. Exhausted the means and harmed so many people. Even if those people remember him in the future, they will only remember him badly. No one will see how tormented he was in those difficult days.
I don't know how long I waited, until Zhou Ziliang felt that his legs were gradually numb. Suddenly hearing someone next to him exclaim, he quickly came back to his senses, and when he looked up, there were already meteors in the sky.
He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Summer's hand, "Summer, look, meteor shower." ”
In the summer, I also looked up to see shooting stars in the sky. Seeing such a scene for the first time, she felt excited and overwhelmed.
When she finally came back to her senses, she quickly closed her eyes, folded her hands and began to make a wish.
When she finished making a wish, she turned around and wanted Zhou Ziliang to take out her mobile phone to take a picture of her. Only then did she find that Zhou Ziliang had been looking at her and smiling, and Xia frowned.
"Meteor shower, a once-in-a-century event, aren't you going to make a wish?"
Zhou Ziliang pulled the corners of his mouth almost bitterly: "It's just a thought, and more importantly, I don't have any wishes for me now." After all, the person I love the most once told me that I will not get anything I want in this life. ”
His words were as plain as water, but they were like a knife, slashing at her fiercely.
It turns out that after all this time, he still remembers this sentence vividly. At that time, when Ziyu left, she once said to Zhou Ziliang when he was asleep, 'Zhou Ziliang, even if you wake up, I will not forgive you in this life, if I can only fulfill one wish in the second half of my life, I will not hesitate to tell you that I wish you all the things you want in this life, you can't get it.' ’
At that time, she also said this sentence in a very plain tone like he did now.
What was going on in her head at that time, she couldn't remember it anymore in the summer.
The next day, Zhou Ziliang accompanied the summer to see all the attractions that should be visited, and from beginning to end, the summer did not shout tired. Probably because he promised Zhou Ziyu, he has always had that sense of responsibility in his heart.
In fact, on the third day, the two of them came back from New Zealand, and this time it was not a pleasure. On the contrary, it is more like completing a task and fulfilling the promise made to Zhou Ziyu in the summer.
In the summer, he did not break his promise, and it was Zhou Ziyu who broke his promise.
After returning from New Zealand, Zhou Ziliang plunged into the company and began to get busy, and the summer did not stop. She packed her bags and insisted on going back to Sichuan to see the children she had taught again.
Zhou Ziliang originally wanted to obstruct it, but Summer's attitude was very clear.
"In any case, I must go back to see the children, maybe this trip back, I will know what I want, Zhou Ziliang, please give us some space. ”
Zhou Ziliang had nothing to say, he was originally afraid that he would take this opportunity to secretly remove the child in his belly in the summer. But on second thought, it was like what she said. Leave some space between them, and maybe get a chance for each other.
In the summer, I drove to Sichuan alone and brought a lot of things. But most of them are supplies for the children, stationery boxes, notebooks, books, pens, and some walkmans.
She stayed in the car and didn't get back to school until about two days later.
And it is still the same as before, green mountains and green waters, quiet and abrupt.
She called Teacher Yan in advance, so she hadn't reached the top of the mountain yet. From afar, I saw the figures of the children waiting at the top of the mountain, and when they saw her, they all chirped.
"Sister Summer. ”
A group of children came around enthusiastically, and Summer smiled and went to school with the children. Take out all the stationery in your bag and give it to them. The children liked it very much, laughed and bloomed, and were as happy as a festival.
She saw a poem on the blackboard newspaper in the back row.
'Once the sea was hard to water,
But Wushan is not a cloud.
Take the second flower bush lazy review,
Half-edge cultivation and half-edged king. ’
As a young woman, she had seen these philosophical verses countless times. At that time, she taught children to read ancient poems and understand their meanings.
At that time, it was just rote memorization and understanding the superficial meaning.
Now I know that the meaning of some poems will not be understood until after experiencing them.
stayed in the mountains for a month in the summer, and Zhou Ziliang didn't bother her for a month.
She came alone under the bridge that she had crossed with Zhou Ziliang, and it was so quiet that she could only hear the sound of insects. She remembered that time, she cried to Zhou Ziliang.
She had thought she had missed the chance to be with him, and everything was going the other way.
But no matter how the outside world changes, how complex the relationship between people is. It seems that nothing has changed much here, and it has always been so simple and simple.
Green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds.
She inexplicably remembered the scene when Zhou Ziliang sent her to Chashan in the past, when she came down from the mountain to see him. bought a lot of ingredients and prepared to show off her skills to please Zhou Ziyu, and before entering the supermarket, she was very sensitive to see that there was a scratch mark behind Zhou Ziliang's ear.
is because she said that Zhou Ziyu rarely met someone like her, so she hoped that she would stay as a tenant and friend.
After saying this, Zhou Ziliang held the bouquet of gardenias she gave him, propped one hand behind his ear, and scratched the root of his ear.
Walking to the halfway up the mountain, Summer Zeng glanced back at him. Zhou Ziliang leaned on the car door, and had not driven away yet, the night was dark, only starlight and a street lamp next to him accompanied him.
At that time, she knew that Zhou Ziliang was a lonely and pitiful person. At that moment, a trace of pity suddenly welled up in her heart, but the emotion was fleeting. Later, when he was desperately protecting each other, she thought that she could only spare gratitude and hatred for him in this life.
Zhou Ziliang endured many loneliness that others did not feel because of Zhou Ziyu's illness. Therefore, Zhou Yufeng put all the pressure on Zhou Ziliang on the family business, he seemed to turn his hands into clouds and rain with his hands, but in fact, he couldn't help himself.
I decided to go back in the summer, but in fact, the two days I went back happened to coincide with Zhou Ziliang's birthday. But she didn't tell him, just went back on her own.
The children were very reluctant to let her go, and some children even stuffed a painting in her hand when they left in the summer.
The child said to her, "Sister Summer, the teacher said that you and Brother Ziliang are going to have a baby." This is my gift to you, and next time my sister must bring Brother Ziliang back to see us. ”
When she opened the painting in the summer, it was her and Zhou Ziliang, and she remembered that it should be the photo that Teacher Yan took for them when she left last time.
On the day he decided to go back in the summer, Wen Zhaohan also chose to go to the appointment and get a divorce certificate.
After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Tong Yan was very relaxed. Wen Zhaohan asked her, "Tong Yan, this is the end between us, right?"
Tong Yan took a deep breath: "Wen Zhaohan, the future is very long, and everyone should pay the price for their actions." And I've already tasted the price, and I just want to look forward in the future, and I don't want to let myself be bound by the past anymore. ”
They all chose to hide it, and they seemed to be together at first, but in fact, they went the opposite way, going further and further.
After coming back in the summer, the first thing I did was not to go to Zhou Ziliang. Instead, she went to the cemetery to visit Zhou Ziyu, because she had a very important decision and must tell him.
The cemetery was as quiet as ever, and she wore her hat and walked inside. But when he stepped up the last step, he saw Zhou Ziliang's familiar figure.
He looked at her in disbelief and muttered, "Summer ......"
Summer slowly took off her hat and stepped forward to hug him.
She gave him the children's drawings and tears fell on his shoulders.
She said: "Zhou Ziliang, I'm back." ”
In front of Zhou Ziyu's tomb is the bouquet of gardenias that Zhou Ziliang brought to him, and the petals still carry crystal dew, and the fragrance is pleasant.
"I'm sorry. ”
After such a long time, he was finally able to sincerely say that he was sorry. It's too late, but it's not too late.
The wind blew in the air, and the dew drops on the petals of the gardenia flowers dripped down, as if someone was shedding tears for them.
Don't deny everything lightly, when you stand up, everything is under your feet.
