Cities are great nests built by man, and most of us live in this man-made paradise, enjoying convenient transportation, bustling commerce, subways like cobwebs, high-rise buildings, luxury stores with magnificent doors, and delicious snacks hidden in the inconspicuous ancient alleys on the side of the road.

Cities make life so good.

But at the same time, we also suffer from loud noises, cumbersome things, often congested streets, and complicated relationships.

The chaos of people and events sometimes leaves us with nowhere to escape, and it consumes our lives violently.

And in this steel jungle, the library is our last refuge, which in a silent way allows restless souls to rest.

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that the National Library was a place where his soul could rest, he gently moved the stool, and when he sat down opposite Su Yuxi, he remembered Jorge, the most famous magical realist writer in Argentina? Louis? Borhouse once said, "I always imagined that heaven would be like a library." ”

For Cheng Xiaoyu, summer nights and starlight cannot be tired, the sea and the beach cannot be tired, the sky and clouds cannot be tired, the wine and food cannot be tired, and books and movies cannot be tired.....

And all this can not be tired of adding a sitting opposite you.

It's just that these words, he just put them in his heart and won't say them.

He was already very satisfied to be able to see Su Yuxi again now, and to hear from her that she was waiting for him.

Although he had fantasized about the scene of reuniting with Su Yuxi countless times, he never thought that the two of them would meet in such a situation, in such a place, and in such a dialogue, once again let life meet, and he couldn't ask for more.

At the moment of sitting down, even if Cheng Xiaoyu was in a happy mood, he was a little restrained, after all, the two had not seen each other for 1,415 days and nights.

He glanced at the red cover on the table, with golden butterflies and hummingbirds and a book on a long meandering river, and randomly picked a topic to start his first conversation in a long time.

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Although this book is very good, it really doesn't look like your style!" ”

"Love in the Time of Cholera" is by Garcia. Márquez's first film after winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, the great writer of magical ideas writes a pure love story without any political metaphors and historical projections.

And the reason why this book is great is because it writes the true meaning of love thoroughly.

Real and cruel, romantic and beautiful.

Therefore, from that point of view, this book is definitely not Su Yuxi's dish.

Su Yuxi's eyes wandered over the book for a while, her right hand pressed the corner of the book, her white and slender fingers and the blood-red cover formed a beautiful composition, which made Cheng Xiaoyu want to shoot it very much.

Su Yuxi's tone was still as indifferent as before, and said softly: "I flipped through it a long time ago, and I found that it was a love story that I wrote, so I didn't read it carefully, and recently I wanted to understand what love was all about, so I picked it up again....."

Cheng Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders and said: "It is indeed called a holy book of love, showing the contradiction and openness of love, revealing the truth of love, although it is cruel but beautiful, it is still the best medicine to resist loneliness..... Mr. Marquez's book titles have always been very good, such as "Incredible Tragic Stories - Innocent Elentila and Cruel Grandmother", and "The Colonel Who Didn't Write to Him", as well as this "Love in the Time of Cholera", juxtaposing love and cholera, makes people think that this is a sinister, bloody, twists and turns of the love story, but in fact it is not at all, he just uses soothing words to describe people's hearts, and uses superb bridges to build a great love..."

Su Yuxi said noncommittally: "It seems that you admire this book very much!" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu replied-for-tat: "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with this book. ”

Su Yuxi said lightly: "No, I just don't like this story, Márquez's magic makes his love like a happy clown, maybe I can't understand Florentino. Why was Alisa able to find out that she only loved Fermina after having sex with 622 women. Dasa! He used his cruelty to others to explain what it means to be persistent! Ausencia, the mistress of Captain La Rosa, Alisa's friend, was deprived of all gifts by the captain for having an affair with Alisa. Cassinia, a black woman who loves Alisa deeply, dedicates her body to a shipping company in order to repay Alisa's kindness. Suleta, a pigeon breeder, took the risk of having an affair with Alisa, who seduced her, and was disemboweled by her husband, although this also made Alisa miserable for a while, but he recovered quite quickly. Think about it, there is also Amerika, a minor distant relative who was adopted by Alisa, and when she learned that her beloved Alisa was going to marry Fermina, she ended her life in agony. It can be said that their love has become a victim of Alisa's separation of spirit and sensuality. Obviously, because literary works must be higher than life, Alisa only carried the halo of the protagonist to finally complete the feat of love beyond life and death, while ordinary people seem to be unable to escape the torture of such love poison and fall into spiritual hell. It's just that all this makes people feel that he is still in love with Fermina in the end. Dasa and proposed at her ex-husband's funeral, just because she was unwilling! ”

Cheng Xiaoyu was speechless for a while, what Su Yuxi said was not wrong at all, judging from this story alone, this book is full of poisonous points, in the eyes of modern young people, the author should simply be hung up and whipped by book friends, simply put, this is a silk and the goddess fell in love at first sight, but the goddess married a rich doctor, and the unwilling silk counterattacked into a rich and handsome 622 girls, and finally survived for 53 years, 7 months and 11 days, boiling his love enemy doctor life to death, and then proposing to the goddess at the doctor's funeral, The story of finally marrying the goddess, the two of them were already in their seventies when they were together.....

The sarcasm in Su Yuxi's sentence made Cheng Xiaoyu a little embarrassed, for this, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he had some right to speak, after all, he had a similar experience, but he was far inferior to the male protagonist Florentino. Alisa was so crazy that he was silent for a moment, and then said: "The struggle between spirit and desire is the eternal topic of high-end love, when platonic love and bed love are completely separated: so we see that in "Love in the Time of Cholera", the male protagonist uses the indulgence of desire to protect the vow of love. ”

It sounds a little ridiculous, but the reality is like this, no matter who you are in the long wait, you will gradually find that protecting love is not as easy as writing a poetic love letter or playing a Schubert's serenade, it is not terrible to face the long loneliness alone, the terrible thing is that you don't know when this waiting is the end, not to mention that men have always separated from the soul and desire very clearly, after a chance encounter, the door to liberation of the body is opened, and it is not easy to close it...... ”

After a slight pause, Cheng Xiaoyu said: "It can be said that Márquez gives love the power to inspire life. In his writing, the joy of fish and water does not seem to dissolve true love, but strengthens the courage and confidence to pursue true love. ”

Su Yuxi retorted coldly: "According to what you said, from another point of view, maybe Marquez is expressing that for human beings, they can be happy with or without love!" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't expect that the silent warmth would be followed by a war of words, and it was actually a discussion on the topic of love, and what Su Yuxi said was not wrong at all, but love and people's hearts are too complicated, and it was Marquez who wrote this complexity, and this book is called a classic.

Cheng Xiaoyu said: "Happiness is not the same as happiness, happiness is a mood, and happiness is a state." As for the love of the male protagonist for the female protagonist, I think that in everyone's heart, there is an untouchable person or dream. Some people give up on the way to chase, and some people spend their lives guarding them in their own way. This kind of experience, doubt, confusion and time waste, finally proved one's loyalty, this is what makes people feel that love is great..."

Occasionally, cars roared outside the library, and in the quiet interval, the conversation between the two people collided quickly and directly, but Su Yuxi's voice sounded melodious to Cheng Xiaoyu, and her face was as beautiful as moonlight.

Although the atmosphere is not warm and charming at all, Cheng Xiaoyu feels comfortable and happy, perhaps as the book wants to express, "A sense of security, harmony, and happiness, once these things are added, they look like love, and they are almost equal to love." But they are not love after all. “

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that Su Yuxi deliberately chose this book "Love in the Time of Cholera" to watch, and she wouldn't know that everything today was carefully arranged by Su Yuxi, and Xu Qinning didn't know that Cheng Xiaoyu was planning to propose to her after the concert, and at this time she was very happy for the two siblings to be reconciled.

Regarding Cheng Xiaoyu's future, he has embarked on a completely different path, all things happen a little later, and the result may be different, but there must be no script for this kind of thing in life, if there is - the script is also in Su Yuxi's hands.

As an ordinary person, Cheng Xiaoyu has always just wanted to live an ordinary life, but he didn't expect that he would be farther and farther away from his dream life....
