Chapter 290: Who Loves You More Than Life
The singing stage is located in the south of Dianchun Hall, because it is very famous, it is the central scenic spot of Yu Garden, and it is a rare well-preserved Qing-style stage in China.
There is a small rockery in the southeast of the singing stage, the water flows out from the stone sinus under the rockery, and converges into a small pool, and half of the stage is set up in the pool, which is very elegant. The two walked for a long time to find the correct position, and at this time, Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the gold mistake, the style is exquisite, called "Feng Wu Luanyin", commonly known as the pavilion of the singing platform, and was full of emotion.
This is the place where the flower sugar industry office feasted and sang and offered sacrifices during the year. After the republic, it became a famous scenic spot, and "Phoenix Dance and Luanyin" rarely held performances, and everyone who was not famous for the opera did not have the opportunity to appear on stage here.
In the early years, every Lantern Festival, there was an opera performance when the Lantern Festival was held in Yu Garden, and Cheng Xiaoyu's mother, Cheng Qiuci, was invited to take the stage. However, it has not been a performance for a long time since the ancient building "Feng Wu Luanyin", which was designated as a key protection.
Cheng Xiaoyu had no intention of viewing this ingenious small garden building, and looked around for the propaganda board that his mother said, but he didn't find it all around, and there was no trace of anything related to his mother. (BGM "Freshwater Riverside" Dai Penny, this is what my mother sang to Xiaoyu!)
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the couplet on the west side of the singing stage with some disappointment, which read, "The flower sweeps the idle steps and looks up to the fairy Ling Bo has not gone, and the couch hangs in the high pavilion and the poet is invited to visit with a cane." Such a result made Cheng Xiaoyu's sentimentality begin to magnify, and he thought that the world should always leave some traces for him to remember. But in fact, a lot of expectations are just wishful thinking, and the people you want to remember, only you care.
Su Yuxi looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, who was a little depressed, and quietly walked to his side, and said softly: "Life is infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year. Auntie was able to perform on stage in Feng Wuluan Yin back then, which was worthy of her life. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu turned her head to look at Su Yuxi, she was dressed a little weird at the moment, with Cheng Xiaoyu's waist seal on her shoulders and long lace-up leather shoes on her feet, but what is a beauty? In fact, they all dug the pit for themselves, and when they didn't go there, they moved themselves first. When I got here, I found that it was different from what I imagined. The heart is not moved is not to accept it. It is said that the birth of every child is a gift from God, but I feel that my existence is a curse, a curse that comes from the mother's womb. If it weren't for me, my mom wouldn't have gone to the United States to give birth to me at the peak of her career! ”
Su Yuxi didn't know anything about her father and Cheng Xiaoyu's mother. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Do you know why my dad and your mom weren't together?"
Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was waiting for your father to explain, but he never did, but now the heart to know the reason is getting weaker and weaker, after all, these things don't matter to the deceased." Anyway, it's too late, I can't go back, I turned around, which once beautiful woman is no longer here. In the end, Cheng Xiaoyu was a little sentimental.
Su Yuxi didn't know how to comfort her, so she said: "Why embarrass yourself when you recall? I think Auntie hopes that you will smile when you think of her." It's good that you're strong and figured out, and it's understandable to be loyal to your feelings and feelings, and if you can't let go, ask your father. Maybe things are not what you think, and Dad will always give you an answer. But no matter what, despite all the pain, you still have to thank them for bringing you to this world to see, although it is not beautiful, but we can always find something we like, like music, don't we?"
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the "Feng Wuluan Yin" on the opposite side of the small pond and said softly, "I just suddenly felt a little sad, those who were the hardest lived with their mothers, but now looking back, they are so good." Although she was strict and harsh when I played the piano, although I was always afraid that I was not doing well enough and dissatisfying her, although she would whip me with a leash even though I did not do well in class, these experiences kept me for a long time. I even thought she didn't love me at all. Actually, I really want to make her happy and make her proud of me, but in my childhood memories, it was such a difficult thing. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu paused for a moment and continued in the cold and solemn midnight: "However, after I felt that I had done it, I left like this. After she left, I always hoped that as soon as I turned around, I could see her calling me: Xiaoyu. Come and eat. So I kept turning around until I was dizzy, and she still didn't show up. I know that depression is terrible, but if I have persevered for so long, why can't I hold on a little longer? Why does she leave me when she sees hope ahead? Why are the characters in the novel always strong and free, domineering and calm. The author waved a big pen and passed through the gap, turned a page, and started a new chapter, so the past was carried out by the wind. And every night I have to suffer slowly, God gives me ten opportunities to be weak in a minute, but I can't wait for that sentence to pass after many years. Cheng Xiaoyu said with great pain in his heart, but now there is no anger of being abandoned, only the thousands of holes that have been invaded by thoughts in his heart, in fact, he is already trying to restrain his love, after all, it is his sister's birthday, he brought Su Yuxi here, the most secret corner of his heart, and it is not to let her bear the pain with him. At the moment when Su Yuxi climbed the black tile and white wall and stretched out his hand to pull him up, he just wanted to share his heartfelt thoughts with her.
Su Yuxi looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with tears in her eyes, and reached out to hug him, there is always a person in this world, you want to hug him with your soul. She slowly said in Cheng Xiaoyu's ear, "I like Auntie a lot, she is a qualified mother, she loves her son more than her own life, and she does not hesitate to be a bad person." For life, in fact, sometimes I don't have too much attachment, sometimes lying in the dark as if I can hear the call of death, when the short life rushes through my mind, I find that I can grab the warmth, there is really not much. But most of the time, I still try to stay strong and optimistic, and I know that fate has a strict set of rules that are not necessarily fair, but unassailable. As long as we are firm enough, as long as the time is long enough, we may really be able to achieve the ideal life. So brother, let's live happily for my aunt. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, he felt that he was such a weak person, unable to compete with the cruel fate, although he was so lucky, but he still felt sad, because he could no longer realize any dream and give her all the best in the world, just like she once was.
Su Yuxi's hug was warm and secure, it felt so good to Cheng Xiaoyu, it was a comfort for the soul and a reward for the world. It's like a candle at hand when the power goes out, a lifebuoy handed over when someone falls into the water, a refrigerator full of food when he is hungry, and a hug really appears when he longs for comfort. This familiar mint smell made Cheng Xiaoyu feel relaxed, he wanted to just fall asleep like this, and he unconsciously transferred part of his attachment to his mother to this indifferent sister.
At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance in the quiet Yu Garden, and the night watchman came. The two parted gently, this hug was so natural, full of care and comfort, the two looked at each other without embarrassment, Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and led Su Yuxi without hesitation in the direction they came, the moon was in the sky, and the breeze was slightly warm.
After passing through the long and tortuous corridor like life, they returned to the side of the rockery again, and the two climbed along the rockery to the wall, and the paper slippers on Cheng Xiaoyu's feet finally couldn't bear the torture and were shattered.
Cheng Xiaoyu stood barefoot on the wall, his shirt was stretched out of his trousers, although he looked very wolf now, but when Su Yuxi was about to jump down, he still grabbed her, Cheng Xiaoyu took out the jewelry box from his pocket and handed it to Su Yuxi with some trepidation, "Xixi, happy birthday." ”
Su Yu froze for a moment, then took the box with some expectation, opened the exquisite hollow jewelry box in the bright moonlight, and an unusually beautiful charming and bewitching metal feather inlaid with aqua blue gems appeared in front of her eyes, which was a mysterious beauty mixed with infinite meaning.
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled a little shyly and said, "My brother can't afford to buy such expensive rare treasures now, and he can't afford to hold a grand fireworks pie, this jewelry is made by myself, I hope you like it." ”
Su Yuxi took the necklace out of the jewelry box, handed the box to Cheng Xiaoyu, then put the necklace on the back of her neck with her hands, took off the brilliant diamond necklace that was originally worn around her neck, and carefully reached into Cheng Xiaoyu's pocket, she said softly, "This is the most valuable gift I have ever received, it is my priceless treasure." I won't wear another necklace in the future. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled shyly when he heard this, and looked at the immortal Midwinter Feather that he had worked so hard to build lying between Su Yuxi's white neck and beautiful collarbone.
The two of them stood on the white-walled and black-tiled wall of the Yu Garden, looked back at the deep courtyard with a lonely view, and jumped out together, and this place was known only to them. (To be continued.) )
