Chapter 40 The Bridge of Broken Souls
For the next two days, I waited downstairs at Tang Mengyan's house every day, but I never saw Tang Mengyan again.
When I plucked up the courage to knock on the door of Tang Mengyan's house, it was Tang Mengyan's parents who came out, and they shouted angrily and drove me out, and I never saw Tang Mengyan's face.
It wasn't until the third day, when I asked Wang Fatzi about it, that I learned that Tang Mengyan left the city on the day she left the note for me, and went to her uncle's city to work as a financial accountant.
Tang Mengyan is really gone.
She always jokes with me and always lies to me.
But this time, she didn't lie to me.
I lost her.
I knew that the night Tang Mengyan left was the hardest night for me, and I hugged the pillow and cried all night that night.
The next day, I felt like my whole body was collapsed.
The heart was empty, as if something had been dug up, and there was a hole left there forever. It's been a long time, and that sense of emptiness has always existed in my heart, and it hasn't dissipated.
Then I want a scar that will remain in my heart forever and ever.
Unless Tang Mengyan comes back, it will be possible to fill it in.
But what I want to tell you is that until now, when I sit in front of the computer and tell you this story, Tang Mengyan has not returned to me.
She maybe, really, won't come back.
Just like Mayik.
I've been through too many people in my life.
Each of them left an imprint on me that I will never forget.
But they all ended up leaving me like that.
It's like one beautiful portrait after another, which is ruthlessly destroyed and burned by the flames in the end.
Sometimes I wonder, is our life doomed?
So why does God still let us bloom in the past?
I don't know, the heavens didn't tell me the answer.
I have no way of knowing.
Wang Fatzi told Tang Mengyan that I was discharged from the hospital on the night I left, and by the way, I went to Wang Fatzi's house and picked up Xueqi home.
Xueqi, I only have Xueqi left.
What else do I have left but her?
When life comes full circle, but in the end it is back to the original starting point, the rest is still me and her after all.
For a long time after that, I was exhausted, for my career, for love.
At that time, I finally understood what Supreme Treasure said to Zixia Fairy in "Journey to the West".
I hadn't understood that passage before, and it wasn't until then that I fully understood.
Even a few years later, when I think back to that Tang Mengyan girl, that sentence will linger in my ears:
There was once a sincere love in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and when I lost it, I regretted it.
……
During the days when Tang Mengyan left, I hesitated for a long time, and it wasn't until time went by that I gradually recovered, as usual.
Man is an animal that knows nostalgia and nostalgia, but it is also an animal that knows how to get used to it. When you get used to a certain way of life, you will eventually become an animal in that mode of life.
Just like when Tang Mengyan was still by my side, I was used to the life between her and Xueqi, and when she left, I was used to the two-person world with Xueqi again.
At that time, I was already tired of love, and all I had left was the expectation of watching Xueqi grow up day by day.
watched Xue Qi grow day by day, her hair became longer and longer, she became taller and taller, her face became more and more pointed, and she looked more and more beautiful.
At that time, I finally found the happiness I once had.
No matter what happens, the sun will rise as usual.
For a long time after Tang Mengyan left, my days were like after a storm, and I returned to peace.
I've been living a simple and peaceful life with Xueqi for eight years.
Those days were the emptiest and most fulfilling for me.
The days are like flowing water, day by day, similar and not repeated.
In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed since Tang Mengyan's departure, and Xueqi's summer vacation has long ended, and she Xueqi has started her second-year campus life.
Compared with the timidity and ignorance in the first grade, Xue Qi in the second grade has become more extroverted and sunny, of course, her innocence and well-behaved have not changed.
In school, Xue Qi has always been the teacher's darling, not only because of Xue Qi's well-behaved and obedient character, but also because of Xue Qi's outstanding beautiful appearance and intelligent talent.
In a way, Xue Qi is like a combination of Ma Yike and Tang Mengyan, she has both Ma Yike's intelligence and Tang Mengyan's innocence.
She's really perfect.
Like an angel.
On 9/21/08, it was Xueqi's birthday.
I picked up Xueqi on October 1, 99, which is the 22nd day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and if you convert it, it will be September 21 of 08.
The story of Xueqi's 8 years old began at the beginning of 08, that is, when Xueqi was just one year older. So I think it's perfect to let it end the story of almost a year on Xueqi's birthday.
That night, I drove to pick up Xueqi from school, Xueqi got into the car as usual with her schoolbag, and it could be seen that Xueqi was in a good mood today.
"Qiqi, do you know what day it is?"
"Ahh
"It's Qiqi's birthday. ”
"My ...... Birthday?" When I said this, Xue Qi's mouth repeated repeatedly. In the past eight years, I have celebrated Xueqi's birthday once, and that time was with Ma Yike, so Xueqi still remembers it vividly. "Really?"
"yes, does Qiqi remember your birthday?"
"Hmm...... Am I right?"
"Qiqi remembers it very clearly. It's amazing. Smarter than PAPA. I smiled and touched Xueqi's head, then closed the car door and said to Xueqi, "Qiqi is your birthday, what do you want Papa to buy for you?" ”
"yes, great, I want to eat cake!" Xue Qi grinned, showing her little tiger teeth.
"That Qiqi...... Isn't it time to say long live Papa, as you usually do?"
"Hmm!long live Papa...... Long live papa, long live, long live!" Xue Qi danced her little hands with joy, "Papa, I want to eat a cream cake, like on TV, with that kind of white candle." ”
"Okay~~" Looking at Xue Qi with a bright smile, I smiled, started the car, and rushed straight towards Maixiang Village.
That night, I celebrated my birthday with Xueqi at home, and in addition to the cake, I also bought Xueqi a few cartoon CDs and a dress as a birthday present.
That day, Xueqi rolled happily on the sofa in the living room at home, and her little feet in stockings kicked and kicked excitedly on the sofa, and finally I was laughing and scolding.
"Papa, I'll show you!" After a long time of trouble, Xue Qi suddenly jumped off the sofa excitedly, wearing a brand new white dress, and suddenly said restlessly that she wanted to dance for me.
"Dance, Qiqi can dance, where did you learn it?" I was surprised to hear Xueqi's words.
"What I watched in the cartoon is called 'Light and Fluttering Round Dance'. Xue Qi pursed her lips and said to me with a smile.
"It's a fluttering waltz, isn't it?"
As if she had discovered her slip of the tongue, Xue Qi's eyes widened and she was stunned for a moment.
"It seems to be an eh......
"Hmm...... Xue Qi said that it was a round dance...... Xue Qi will dance a little bit?" I gave Xue Qi an encouraging look and encouraged her to dance, and at my urging, Xue Qi ran to the TV, opened the DVD and put on the cartoon with great interest, and then began to dance with the opening song of the cartoon.
Speaking of which, Xue Qi's dancing is really ugly, her so-called dancing is purely spinning in place and then flapping her hands comically like a duckling, how stiff and stiff the movements are, almost making me laugh out of my belly.
However, Xue Qi danced very seriously, smiling seriously, and seemed to feel that she was dancing very gracefully.
Seeing Xue Qi's serious appearance, I didn't laugh, but cooperated with her to give applause.
It's just that with Xueqi's dance, unconsciously, I think of the girl in white who used to dance in front of me like this.
That dreamy girl.
At that moment, I suddenly felt an inexplicable pain.
The pain is as long and delicate as a spring rain, and it may not attract your attention at first, but when it occurs, it will persist for a long time and last for a whole rainy season.
At the end of the dance, Xueqi snuggled up to my lap, holding the cake in her small hands, and ate her mouth full of white cream.
At that time, looking at Xueqi's cute appearance, for no reason, I suddenly asked her.
"Qiqi?"
"Huh?
"Qiqi, do you like papa?"
"Hmm...... Like. Xueqi's eyes moved, and she answered me vaguely while eating cream.
"Then does Qiqi want to be with Papa forever?"
This time, Xue Qi didn't answer me directly, but looked at me with a dumbfounded look, and suddenly asked me with some dissatisfaction: "Do you want to...... Is Papa leaving?"
"Papa won't go. As long as Qiqi doesn't leave PAPA, PAPA won't leave. I said to Xueqi.
Xue Qi looked at me stunned, as if she didn't understand why I suddenly said such a thing.
"Qiqi...... Papa may not find a new mother for Qiqi, will Qiqi be angry with Papa?"
Hearing my words, Xue Qi's face was even more surprised, she lowered her head, looked at the cream plate in her hand, didn't say a word for a long time, and finally whispered: "Don't be angry...... papa。 Qiqi doesn't want a new mother anymore. ”
"Qiqi?" I looked at Xueqi.
"Hmm......" Xue Qi looked at me with a calm little face and some unhappiness, her forehead against my thigh.
"Qiqi, if Papa can never find her mother, is Qiqi willing to be Papa's bride?" This time, I looked at Xueqi seriously.
Xue Qi also looked at me blankly.
In the end, what I didn't expect was that Xue Qi nodded without hesitation.
"I do, Papa. ”
I couldn't believe my ears, but Xueqi's serious expression told me that her words were sincere.
"Why?"
"Because I like you, papa, and you like me......" Xue Qi said to me silly.
I was stunned.
And indescribably moved.
The song with a beautiful child's voice was still echoing in her ears, and I don't know when, Xue Qi began to dance again, and the flying white dress swirled like a white elf, gently stretching like a graceful melody.
Remembering my dead love.
Open, that tomorrow that does not know the weather and rain.
……
……
"Boss, if I become your girlfriend, will you always be good to me?"
"Well, of course, I'm good for you. ”
"Hmph, that'...... Boss, if someone bullies me, will you protect me?"
"Of course, I'll protect you and beat that man to death. ”
"Boss......?"
"Huh?
"Boss ......"
"Boss ......"
Top dog......
