Chapter 12: Changing Lives
Zhou Mo knocked lightly on the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Come in." A high-pitched, hoarse voice came from within.
She pursed her lips and clenched her fists fiercely, but she did not hesitate at her feet, and still forced herself into the house.
"I made some Western food, and when I was in the United States, you liked it a lot, and you tasted it to your liking." She brought the plate to Zhen Yi, which contained a pan-fried seven-ripe steak and a Hawaiian salad.
Zhen Yi glanced at the plate indifferently, "I'm not interested in these half-baked things, and besides, do you have any problems with your memory, I've said it many times, and I don't remember anything before." ”
Zhou Mo's face darkened, but soon she cheered up, cut a piece of meat with her own hands and handed it to his mouth, "Just take a small bite, okay?" I haven't done it for a long time, and I don't know if the craft is rusty. She sent the fork over almost coquettishly.
"Smack." The meat was knocked to the ground by Zhen Yi, and he grabbed Zhou Mo's hand holding the fork, "Don't you understand what I said?" One or two people forced me to eat as if they were fools, and I knew what I wanted to eat and what I liked. ”
Zhou Mo's eyes were full of tears, she was not frightened by his fierce eyes, but because of the half of his arm exposed outside his sleeve, on which there was a wound that had not yet scabbed.
"Who are you?" Wu Xi shouted at the man dressed in white, who stood alone on a small boat and sailed past her boat. She picked up her oars and rowed desperately in his direction, and they crossed one stone bridge after another, leaving a serpentine streak on the rippling water.
Finally, she blocked him in a dead end.
His back was to him, his long figure familiar and unfamiliar. He suddenly smiled faintly, and his voice was sharp and piercing, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Wu Xi suddenly didn't want to know who he was, she grabbed the oar and rowed hard towards the back, but no matter how hard she tried, the boat stuck to the water as if it had been caught by something.
"What, remember?" The man's figure got closer and closer, and after a while, he actually came behind her, how did he come, obviously there was still a few meters between the two boats. Wu Xi's back was covered with cold sweat, and she looked down at the water, just in time to see his reflection in the water.
"Zhen Zhe, aren't you dead?"
One knock after another knocked on the door entered Wu Xi's ears, and it was like a savior falling from the sky, waking her up from a nightmare. She didn't have time to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and hurriedly stepped on her slippers and walked to the door.
"Who is it?"
A low cry sounded outside, "It's me, Zhou Mo, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”
Wu Xi let her in, she sat on the chair, her eyes looked at the air in front of her in horror, as if she hadn't recovered from the fright.
"Zhou Mo, you ......"
"I know who that spider is, it's Zhen Yi, no, it's Zhen Zhe......" She grabbed Wu Xi's arm at once.
After Zhen Zhe's death, I became very negative for a while, as if anyone and everything around me had nothing to do with me, I locked myself in my room every day, sorted out his clothes over and over again, and looked through the photos I took with him one by one, as if only in this way could I feel that he was still here and had not left. I even thought I wouldn't be happy anymore until one day, my father brought back someone.
That person looked exactly like Zhen Zhe, my first reaction when I saw him was not to be afraid, but to hug his cold body and cry, but the man didn't resist, just let me hold him, until I was tired of crying, I remembered to ask the reason for all this.
My father told me that a few days before Zhen Zhe died, he met a master who was proficient in a secret art that he called "life exchange." ”
"Change your life?" Wu Xi followed and read the word again.
That means to exchange one's longevity for another person who has a short life and lacks good fortune, so that person can continue to live in the world.
"Really?" I held the old hand, and the tears fell downward, and I couldn't stop it.
"My life was originally for him," my father also grabbed my hand, "I don't have many days left, Zhou Mo, you promise me to accompany Zhen Zhe well and live this life happily with him, so that I can feel at ease"
I nodded my head fiercely, and secretly swore in my heart: I will never live up to the happiness that my father bought for us with his life.
We decided to go back to Plum Town for a while, and then let him come back to D City in another capacity after a while. We also gave him another name, Zhen Yi, and said to the outside world that he was my father's nephew.
Zhen Yi said very little, and his father said that it was because he died once, so he didn't remember what happened before his death. To be honest, I don't care at all, as long as others are still around, what does it matter if they remember me or not? And as long as I persevere, I believe he can fall in love with me again.
Gradually, however, I realized that things were not as simple as I thought. Zhen Yi not only didn't know anything about the past, but his temperament was completely different from before. In the past, Zhen Zhe was a cheerful and enthusiastic person, with him, you can find many undiscovered joys in life, he is like a fire, can warm everyone around him.
And Zhen Yi is completely different, he looks cold and impatient with everyone, as if no matter how much sincerity he pays, he can't warm his frozen heart.
He was the only one who was passionate about that kind of thing.
Zhou Mo's face turned red, and Wu Xi knew what she was referring to.
But for women, the desire for the soul is far higher than the physiological, or to put it another way, if the soul is not satisfied, how can it be possible to devote herself to it when she is naked? I couldn't do it, so I refused his requests again and again.
I have asked myself countless times why, as his wife, I hate his intimate behavior so much, is it really just because of his coldness? It wasn't until later that I figured out that in fact, in my heart, I had already regarded him and Zhen Zhe as two completely different people, and I had never really accepted Zhen Yi, let alone identified him as my husband.
After seeing my heart clearly, I was very painful, I hated myself so much, my promise in front of my father, in just one month, I couldn't keep it? Zhen Yi, whom he exchanged for his life, is he going to be abandoned by me? Thinking of this, my heart hurts like a pinprick, I decided to work hard again to get the previous Zhen Zhe back, we have experienced so many misfortunes, shouldn't we be happy with our strength?
But just when I made up my mind, I realized that things were far from being as simple as I thought.
