159. Happy birthday
On Qiao Yixia's birthday, Meng Liuchen, Lan Xuewu and Jiang Xiage all came, no one bought any luxury goods, they were all small gifts like silk scarves, and they didn't need to rely on money to maintain a relationship between them for a long time. Speaking of which, the relationship between the three people is somewhat tangled, it turns out that the bloody plot of love triangle is not only in the TV series, but also in real life, she loves him, he loves her, she doesn't love him. But the only difference from the general public is probably that they can really let go of the mustard in their hearts and sit together calmly.
"Sister. I went to many boutiques to get this butterfly hairpin, you see, how good it looks on your hair. Lan Xuewu sat beside Qiao Yixia and hugged her shoulders with both hands, "Sister, I am your sister, my name is Lan Xuewu, and the two of us have played since childhood." When I was a kid, I loved sticking to you. Do you remember? ”
Qiao Yi shook his head indiscriminately.
"It's okay if you don't remember." Lan Xuewu hugged her tighter, almost clinging to her body, "Sister, I will come to see you often in the future." Then I'll tell you about the two of us when we were young, and you'll remember it. ”
"By the way, my aunt and uncle asked me to bring this to you. My uncle knew that you liked puzzles, so he specially asked someone to order a set for you abroad, saying that you can put together puzzles when you are usually fine. And this, in this wooden box, is a letter written to you by your aunt, because she can't live with you, so she will write to you whenever she has time, and everything she wants to say is in it. Speaking of this, Lan Xuewu was a little sad. After the truth of Qiao Yihui's matter was revealed, in fact, she was also confused and hesitant, and this confusion made her not know how to face Qiao Yixia for a long time, so she didn't even come to see her once for such a long time.
Qiao Yihui is a brother who has a very vague impression and is not very close to her, but as a younger sister, she will still sigh and sigh for it. What's more, aunts and uncles, their deep love for Qiao Yixia has an open mind.
Previously, Meng Liuchen had always felt that it was torture for Lu Xifei to live with such a mindless person, and he had the idea of taking Lu Xifei away, but now, at least today, seeing that the two of them can get along with each other so well, he should be happy, but he wants to cry inexplicably. There is too much unfairness that has been added to the lovers in the world, they are obviously so kind, so hard to live a good life, not to seek wealth and glory, but to stay for life, but even so, it has become an impossible luxury for them.
"Twenty-ninth birthday, very special." After everyone left in the evening, there were only the two of them left in the house, Qiao Yixia washed the dishes with her, and said involuntarily.
"I'll take you somewhere later."
"What is it?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
The hour hand struck to the zero o'clock, and the two of them clasped each other's hands and came to the empty playground. At midnight, even the wind was a little less humid and hot, mixed with a little cold, and there was silence all around, as if the whole world was left with her and her at the moment. Qiao Yixia looked at the Ferris wheel in front of her, and in her impression, she seemed to have been here several times.
"Why are we still coming in so late?"
Lu Xifei didn't answer her question, but just thought of the scene a year ago, when she was held by Qiao Yixia and came to the amusement park that was chartered by her, and she laughed at her for her generous hand.
"You're taking me to the movies?" They sat in the movie theater together, the big screen slowly brightened, and Qiao Yixia tilted her head and looked at her suspiciously.
The name of the movie is "Love Before Midnight", and it is a very old film. Although she forgot some things from before, her English level has not deteriorated, and Qiao Yixia can still easily understand the dialogue between the hero and heroine, so she can save the time of reading subtitles, and occasionally tilt her head secretly to take a look at Lu Xifei's side face. Qiao Yixia didn't know why Lu Xifei suddenly took her to watch a movie, but such a time was very luxurious, precious, and happy for her.
At the end of the movie, Lu Xifei left suddenly, leaving Qiao Yixia alone at a loss. She was terrified of the feeling of being alone in the dark, and just as she wanted to get up and chase out, the screen suddenly lit up.
"Happy birthday, sister." Lan Xuewu's smiling face was infinitely amplified on the screen, her voice was sweet and bright, and she gestured in the shape of a heart in her hand, "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, we are no longer the children who only knew how to have fun before, it's really amazing, sister, you have been a very indifferent person to others since you were a child, but you can endure me as a fart for so many years, it's really hard for you, hehe." It's so embarrassing, and suddenly I don't know what to say. Well, in short, sister, forget the past, forget it, grasp the present is the most important thing. Remember, I'm your sister, my name is Lan Xuewu, it's nice to meet you. ”
"Happy birthday, Yixia." Meng Liuchen was wearing a white shirt, and his face was so delicate that he could sell it as long as he posed casually and took a picture, "I am, well, it doesn't seem to matter so much who I am." You know, I'm a relative of Lucieu, and it's enough that we used to be very good friends. I don't like to make VCRs, but as long as you can live a good life with my sister, every year you have a birthday, I am willing to record such a video for you. Happy birthday and happy everyday. ”
"Hi, Yixia. Congratulations on being a year older. Jiang Xia Ge wore a ponytail, changing his charming style in the past, and was very pure, "Don't think about who I am, such a beautiful woman, there can be no one else in your circle of friends except me Jiang Xia Ge." I'm so happy, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can finally be with Xi Fei. But I don't envy you at all, just love each other for a lifetime, I won't envy you for a day. Happy birthday. ”
"Happy birthday, dear Yixia, I love you."
Whether she is on the screen, or she is holding the cake and walking slowly, the love hidden in her heart is so clear at the moment, she thinks that they must be the closest people in the world.
"It's so sweet." Qiao Yixia ate the cake in the spoon, and in the faint light of the candle, the loveu written in red jam on the cake was so clear.
When I got home that day, it was already half past three in the morning, and Lucy fell asleep rarely. Qiao Yixia squatted on the edge of the bed, looking at her sleeping face and the scar on her cheek, feeling that a knife was cutting at her heart.
But the time to really fall asleep was only a short thirty minutes, and when Lucy opened her eyes, she didn't see the person who should be lying beside her, she put on a thin shirt and got up and went to the balcony.
It was a scene she hadn't expected. Qiao Yixia was alone in the corner, her hands on her knees, her head buried deep in the crook of her arms, she was crying silently. Lucy stood two meters away from her, suddenly not knowing what she was thinking. It was also the first time she had a feeling of powerlessness.
"Xihua." Qiao Yixia raised her head and looked at her, "I love you." ”
"But, I hate you too."
"You know, because of your love, I don't even dare to think of dying. Every day, every day, as soon as I close my eyes, I take a knife in my dream and stab at the boy, his eyes that he refused to close before he died, his blood, his death, are nightmares that deeply torment me. I don't want to sleep, but I have to, because if I don't, I'll die. I was tormented every day in order to survive...... I really want to die like this, but everyone is telling me, don't die, you can't die, as long as you persevere, there is hope. Xifei, I'm in pain, my heart hurts, I don't want this kind of hope......" Her hand covered the position of her heart, and tears rolled down silently, "Here, it's about to be hollowed out." ”
Lu Xifei suddenly raised her head and sighed, a short sigh, containing all her feelings at the moment. There is helplessness, distress, hesitation, frustration, and despair.
She stepped forward and helped her up: "Yi Xia, can you promise me one thing?" ”
"You say...... As long as I can do it. ”
"Tomorrow night, come with me to see the stars."
"Okay, I promise you."
On this day, Lu Xifei thought a lot, the most is how Qiao Yixia spent night after night in these days, and how many nights she was like last night, after she slept peacefully, she hid in the corner alone, waiting for the dawn alone, this kind of taste, it is too bitter to think about. Originally, she thought that everything would develop in a good direction, but now it seems that it is just her own self-absorption, and what she is thinking about is nothing more than the sacrifice and compromise that Qiao Yixia made for her. The pain does not go away, it only makes people lose themselves under repeated torture.
"The stars are so bright tonight." Qiao Yixia held on to the railing on the balcony, her hair was tied haphazardly, and the starlight in the night sky lit up her eyes, "It is said that after death, people will become stars in the sky." I don't know which child I killed and which one he was. ”
Luci stood behind her and hugged her gently, thinking of the many days when they were with each other and looked up at the stars. When I first picked her up, Luci always thought that no matter what she would do, whether it was splashing her with hot water or slapping her, she could bear it. As long as they carry it, they can become happy. Only now did she know how selfish this idea was, and her self-righteousness made Qiao Yixia live in self-torture beyond what normal people could bear every day.
"Xifei, you let me go. In this life, it is me to you, and if I can meet you again in the next life, I will definitely hold on to you. But now, please, let me go, let me go completely. "They can't see each other's expressions, they can only feel each other's temperatures.
But she understood her helplessness and her sadness.
"Okay."
Qiao Yixia suddenly grabbed her hand, turned around and hugged her tightly: "I'm sorry, Xifei." Let you bear this for me. I'm really sorry. ”
"If life like this really makes you so unhappy. Yi Xia, do what you want. Don't worry about me, and don't miss me. Even if it's just me, I can live well. As long as you can be less painful, I'll let it go. ”
People always subconsciously see death as terrible, it is the end of life, and with the end of life, a living person will be wiped out and become a speck of dust in the universe. But what is more terrible than death is pain and suffering. When a person watches the person she loves the most fall into a cycle of self-torture, it seems that everyone thinks that she will always get better if she is given a little more encouragement. Maybe, maybe one day she'll smile again, as if nothing had happened, but is she really letting go, is she really happy, she just doesn't want you to worry.
For Lu Xifei, she didn't want Qiao Yixia to live in order not to worry her.
For Lu Xifei, if death can free you, it's okay Yi Xia, you don't continue to suffer for me, I'll let it go.
Come to you, I embrace you with my utmost enthusiasm and absolute sincerity. You go, I don't stay. This is Lucie's love for you.
"Xifei, thank you...... Thank you for not retaining. In this life, there are too many people I am sorry for, my father, my mother, that child, and you. ”
"Yi Xia." Lucy hugged her tightly, and thousands of ants climbed into her heart in swarms, gnawing little by little, "Your parents are mine." ”
――If you want to leave, then rest assured, I will live a good life, I will not be martyred, don't worry. I'll take care of your parents, don't blame yourself. If you want to leave, leave easily. Don't worry about anyone.
Forgive her for being selfish. Once promised Qiao's father and Qiao's mother to take good care of her, she couldn't achieve it. self-righteously took care of her for so long, and finally decided to let her go. Living a life is not what Qiao Yixia wants. She is already so painful that her memory has not been restored, so how should she react when she remembers a qiē one day? Can you just let her be selfish and put Qiao Yixia in a place where there is no pain, no heartache, and no worries?
People who fall in love are crazy and egoistic, and one of the words they often put on their lips is that no matter what difficulties we encounter, you should not give up, no matter how much your heart hurts, you should not give up, there will always be a day when the rain will pass and the sky will be clear. That's actually because the despair is not deep enough, when you kill your own relatives with your own hands, but you don't have to accept legal punishment because of insanity, can you still choose to forget as if nothing happened? Human nature is the bottom line rooted in the depths of everyone's heart, and it is precisely because of human nature that love was later derived.
If there is no way to heal this kind of heartache, then how can Lu Xifei bear to ask her to stay.
"Yixia, there are many stars in the sky, but in my heart, you are the brightest one." Lucy smiled and held her face, gently wiping away tears for her, "When you go, don't look back." ”
