Chapter 118: She's Accustomed to Lying (2)
Author's note: I have to go to the hospital tomorrow, tomorrow's two watches will be tomorrow night, alas, grandpa is old in the end. Okay, go to the second change.
――――Dividing Line――――
The book is written about the story between "I" Makoto, Shizuru, and Miyuki.
"You hold a person's happiness in your hands."
This is what Miyuki said to "me".
Yes, "I" hold the happiness of a girl in my hands.
At that time, "I" did not yet know whose happiness it was.
The first encounter in front of the sidewalk, love bumped into the shockingly thin girl - Jingliu.
Shizuru fell in love with "me", but "I" fell in love with Miyuki at first sight.
Aware of this, the still current chooses to give in.
“…… I want to try to like my sweetheart......"
"Don't take it personally, maybe I'm lying again."
"I'm not lying, it's true."
Watching Shizuru overturn his words twice, contradictory and capricious, Daigo Tanimoto was a little silent.
This fragile girl is heart-wrenching, her feelings have stumbled into a dead end by mistake, she can't pull it back, and she has no place to stand, and she has a relationship in her heart that has no exit.
Later, Shizuru had a conflict with her stepmother, was kicked out, and moved into "my" apartment.
That night, for the first time, "I" saw Shizuru eating something other than the Dona Circle.
"I" called it growth, and we read her growth manifesto aloud, and Shizuru even excitedly raised her right arm and shouted, "Warm welcome, D cup." ”
Previously, under the influence of "me", Shizuru began to fall in love with photography.
After moving in together, the two of us went even more crazy - we were both busy getting ready to find jobs, and we were busy taking pictures.
Every day is very happy, full of laughter, and after laughing, we will recall those ridiculous moments together, and laugh again when I think about it.
And during this time, Shizuru unexpectedly began to grow, and the curves on her face and body began to soften, no longer as thin and small as before, and she couldn't find a little childlike curves, all of them were straight.
"Why are you just starting to develop now?"
"It must be because of ......," she said, "love." ”
At this time, Daigo Tanimoto had not yet grasped the painful price hidden behind this sentence.
When I saw "me" accompany Miyuki to see the wedding dress exhibition and Shizuru help with advice, Daigo Tanimoto felt very sad.
"Leave me alone, I'm so happy."
She's lying, and if she's really as happy as she says, where does the paper towel full of paper baskets come from?
"Yes." Daigo Tanimoto muttered, "She's used to lying. ”
"Is it true this time? Didn't lie? ”
"What do you say?" She said with a smile.
When he saw that after winning the Shizuru Photo Contest, he asked "me" for a kiss, and "I" agreed, Daigo Tanimoto trembled with excitement - after so many detours, are the two finally going to meet?
However, after watching it again, Daigo Tanimoto had a bad premonition - Shizuru was too formal!
She chose the "stage" in "heaven", her hair was neatly coiled up like a bride, and she also prepared a camera to take a selfie.
"You want to shoot it?"
"Well, as a souvenir."
Sure enough, there was a twist.
After that kiss, Shizuru left and never returned.
"I" thought that when I kissed in the woods, Shizuru should have understood "I" feelings for her. But it was too late. For "me", it was the first kiss, and "I" decided that there would be more such wonderful moments in the future. But for Silent Stream, this is the last time. Our first and last overlapped each other, and they became the kiss that "I" will never forget.
After Shizuru left, "I" finally realized where her feelings were, and Miyuki confessed to "me", but "I" refused.
"I decided to stay in that apartment and wait for Shizuru to come back. No matter how long I wait, I'll wait. ”
We should live on the planet of unrequited love, but we came here by mistake, so we all love so hard and heartache. It must be so. It would be great if we could continue to evolve to the point where we could know each other's minds without having to speak, and the red and blue arrows above our heads would be clear at a glance. Halfway through, you can know what it means.
Two years after graduating from college, "I" received a letter from Shizuru from New York.
According to the address in the letter, "I" went to New York to look for her, but it was Miyuki who I saw.
Seeing this, Daigo Tanimoto almost jumped up in fright - what happened to Miyuki, what happened to Shizuru?
Looking at it any further, Daigo Tanimoto breathed a sigh of relief, because Miyuki told "me" that Shizuru was on a business trip and would be back the day after tomorrow at the latest.
However, before the day after tomorrow, the blow came - an accident made "me" realize that Shizuru had long since died.
Daigo Tanimoto was stunned - that distressing girl, dead?
How the hell did he die? Also, what's the matter with that letter?
All mysteries have been revealed.
Shizuru has a strange illness inherited from her mother.
Love makes them grow up and mature, go through a brief period of youth, and then die very quickly - like mayflies.
Suddenly, Daigo Tanimoto understood where Shizuru's contradictory mood came from.
Longing for love, but wanting to stay away from love.
What kind of mood does Shizuru have when lying?
What about letters?
It's a lie.
After she was admitted to the hospital, she offered to let Miyuki help her act, so that "I" would think she was still alive. She wrote a lot of letters while lying on the hospital bed, and according to the original plan, these letters would be sent one after another in the future, but she didn't want to be "me" to know the truth in advance.
Seeing this, Daigo Tanimoto thought that "I" would ask Miyuki for those letters, but he didn't want to-
"Letter ......," I said, "send it to me, I'll wait." ”
"As long as that apartment is there, I'll be there."
After that, "I" visited Shizuru's photography exhibition, which included Shizuru's life in those two years, her selfies, and our love photos.
The last photo is the kiss between "me" and Shizuru that day.
In the photo, she closes her eyes, as if that moment is her whole life. She focused all her thoughts on this kiss. Fix yourself here forever. In the illusory kingdom of heaven.
You hold the happiness of a man in your hands.
"She's ...... But I took all the happiness you gave. ”
“it-was-the-only-kiss,the-love-i-have-ever-known……”
The only kiss in this life. The only love.
At the end of the story, "I" returns to the apartment, after which I receive a postcard from Shizuru.
"It won't be long before I'll be back with you. Wait for me. I'll definitely go back to that room this time and never leave you again. Even if you get tired of it, I'm going to stick to you for the rest of my life. May I? ”
"Looking forward to the day when I will meet you again."
"Anyway, before we meet again, let's say goodbye again."
"The Quiet Stream Who Loves You Most in the World"
Seeing the end, two hot teardrops couldn't help but slip down Daigo Tanimoto's eyes and flow down his cheeks.
This girl who is used to lying.
……
When Daigo Tanimoto was still reading "Love Photo", the online media in the island country had already exploded.
Island Country Culture Express: "I think, there are indeed some geniuses in this world that cannot be limited by the country, I don't know if Ye Jun's "Love Photo" has conquered you, I only know that it did conquer me." It's the best pure love novel I've ever read. Ye Jun is not from China, Ye Jun is from the world. ”
Tokyo News Express: "I have read all the pure love novels in our island country, as long as they are somewhat famous, but none of them can compare to Ye Jun's "Love Photo". The novel begins with an impressive start - 'She's used to lying. And at the end of the story, Makoto, who learns the truth, does not ask for the letter, but returns to the apartment where the two once lived, and fulfills Shizuryu's last lie, just as it says at the beginning of the novel - 'See? In this way, I was always deceived by her. When I saw the postcard that Makoto had received later, I couldn't help but cry. She's used to lying, yes, she's used to lying. ”
Osaka News Network: "On November 4, 2015, Ye Jun dropped a tear gas canister in our island country and earned an unknown number of tears. I'm sorry for questioning the fairness of the 'Island Country Pure Love Novel Awards'. "Love Photo" really should be the champion, because I have never seen a better pure love novel than it. ”
……
Whether it is in the comment area of these news, or in forums such as island countries, there are countless footprints of island country netizens.
"Oh, Ye Jun's "Love Photo" is really amazing! I swear, I've been reading pure love novels for so many years, and I've never seen a better novel than it, no, I should say, I haven't even seen a novel as good as it. ”
"Shizuru is actually dead! It makes me feel so uncomfortable! ”
"When I saw Makoto finally return to the apartment and receive a postcard from Shizuru again, I couldn't hold back my tears, I was so moved!" She's used to lying' and 'I'm always being tricked by her'. Ye Jun, can you not be so tear-jerking! I feel like I can't sleep well today. ”
"Love Photo is amazing! I'm going to recommend it to everyone I know! His Royal Highness Ye Yu is the most genius person I have ever seen, His Royal Highness Ye Yu is not from China, His Royal Highness Ye Yu is from the world! ”
"Before the release of "Love Photo", many people questioned the impartiality of the jury, thinking that it was impossible for a Chinese person to write a pure love novel that was more in line with our cultural tastes than the local works of our island country, but my tears perfectly refuted this! Ye Jun is really amazing! Huaxia is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden. Looking forward to Ye Jun's next work. ”
"'Our first and last overlapped each other and made that kiss that I will never forget.' It's so sad to watch. When I saw the photo of the two kissing in the exhibition of Jingliu in the back, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I thought this was already the most uncomfortable. However, when I saw Shizuryu's postcard full of optimism at the end of the story, I felt even more uncomfortable. It's a lie she says he's round. ”
"Ye Jun's "Love Photo" is so good-looking? Looks like I'm going to have to get up early tomorrow to buy books! ”
