Chapter 268: Forget at the same time
"Brother—I'm here. Ripples, a slightly crying voice, like a heavenly sound, made the nervous and frightened Jiang Li instantly relieved and redeemed, he was like a fish washed up on the beach by the waves and brought back by the waves.
"Ripples, why don't you talk or cry, you scared me to death......" Jiang Li gently reproached, if he had a heart attack, he would definitely be dead just now.
"I'm sorry, brother, I had a nightmare just now, I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore, abandoned me, I was scared, I cried, I didn't mean to......" Ripple explained aggrievedly.
"Fool, how could I not want you, in fact, I also had a nightmare, I dreamed that you left me, I couldn't find you, that's why I ......" Jiang Li gritted his teeth, and his heart palpitated.
Both of them were silent, could it be that there was really a magical tacit understanding between brother and sister? would they have a similar dream at the same time, but fortunately it was just a dream, otherwise neither Jiang Li nor Ripple would be able to bear it easily.
Jiang Li and Ripple spoke at the same time, interrupting each other's words, and then Ripple said a little shyly: "Brother, you can speak first." ”
"Well, then I said it," Jiang Li made up his mind, this time he must ask the conversation after kissing each other under the apricot tree when he was a child, otherwise it will always be a lump in his heart, "Ripple, do you remember when I was a child and you played a game in Grandpa's orchard?"
"I remember. "The ripples are crisp and authentic.
"Well, I remember that once a child proposed that real couples should kiss, and then under his prodding, we ......" Jiang Li said a little embarrassed.
"Ah——!h
"You...... Do you remember?" Jiang Li asked with courage.
After a while, there was a ripple and a mosquito-like snort, "Well, do you remember my brother too?"
"Of course I remember!" Jiang Li said seriously. Then he suddenly apologized, "Ripples, first of all, I want to ask you to forgive your careless brother. ”
"What's wrong?" Ripple wondered.
"Well, I remember the two of us having a very important conversation after that, but it was too long, I ...... I can't think of anything. I don't know if my tolerant and generous good sister can remind me of this dull and useless brother?" Jiang Li finally said the words buried in the depths of his heart in one breath.
There was silence on the other side, Jiang Li thought that the other party was unwilling to forgive him for forgetting such an important matter, so he pleaded again: "Please, ripples, this is my brother's fault, and it is also my life's request, please give my brother a chance to make amends!"
At this time, I heard Ripple whispering: "I'm sorry, brother, actually...... I don't know what to do. ”
"Ah——?h According to his past experience, if it was an important thing that happened between the two of them, Ripple should not be able to forget it, and just now he thought about it, when he and Ripple went to Grandpa's house a few days ago, Ripple hid behind the apricot tree and asked him what happened there, and even made a hint to let him kiss her later, wasn't it to remind him of this important thing?
"Ripples. This time you must listen to your brother and don't be angry. Tell your brother, and he will promise you everything. Jiang Li whispered softly.
"Woo-brother, it's not that Ripples don't want to tell you, it's that Ripples really don't know what to do! Do you remember the day I went to Grandpa's house with you? I asked you what happened there, in fact, to lure you to tell you about it, because I would forget such an important matter between me and my brother. I can't forgive myself, I want to make it up secretly and come back, I'm sorry, brother, I'm really sorry......" Ripple sobbed softly.
"Fool. Don't cry, brother hug," Jiang Li's brain was full of light, and he became more and more confused, saying this, he and Ripple both forgot the conversation after the kiss, but they remembered that it was an important thing, but since it was so important, how could they both forget? He may have been a little disturbed by the memory of rebirth and traversing, but Ripple can't also be reborn and traversed back.
Is this a coincidence or an inevitability?
However, before solving this matter, she first had to calm the ripples, her emotions were already a little out of control, and she couldn't stop her tears at all, after all, she had always regarded Jiang Li's affairs as a top priority, let alone such an important thing that happened between the two of them.
"Ripples, be good, don't cry, this matter is the fault of my brother and Ripples, let's bear it together, think about it together, okay? Jiang Li said seriously.
Hearing Jiang Li say that he would be very uncomfortable, Ripple really stopped crying and said, "I know the truth, brother, let's cheer together." ”
Jiang Li smiled, looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, so he said: "But it's too late today, let's talk about it later, there is still time, shall I tell Ripple the story of the second volume of "A Li's Travels", okay?"
The first volume of "A Li's Travels", that is, the journey to the Lilliputian Kingdom is about to end in September, and the official release of the second volume of the Journey to the Great Kingdom will not be until October, Ripples has listened to Jiang Li finish the last chapter of the first volume before leaving, and now she can hear the story of the second volume in advance, she is naturally very happy.
"Okay, Ripple listens to his brother's story, and when his brother thinks it's about the same, he can hang up the phone. "Ripples are well-behaved and sensible.
Jiang Li then gently recounted in a shallow voice like singing a lullaby: "The story of the second volume happened two months after I returned to China, and I went to sea again...... I was trying to find a gap in the hedge when I found a native coming up the steps from the field next door, as tall as the giant I saw chasing our boat in the water, about the height of the roof of an ancient palace, and I estimated that he could walk more than three feet long in one step, and I was so frightened that I ran to the middle of the wheat field and hid, and I saw him standing at the top of the steps looking back at the field to his right, and I heard him shout, many times louder than the trumpet, but because the sound came from a high air, at first I thought it was thunder……”
There was a long and rhythmic sound of rippling breathing on the other side of the phone, Jiang Li smiled slightly, said "good night" softly, and then hung up the phone.
A pair of crystal starry eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then faded again.
Jiang Li looked at the ceiling, sleepiness came from all over his limbs, and before he fell back asleep, he had already thought of the next new song, which was a certain song about parting that he had listened to in the music hall before, and the artistic conception of the song had basically been reflected in his dream.
Dreams are born from the heart, thought about by day, dreamed by night, and sometimes a kind of omen in the dark. (To be continued......)
