The doorman opened the electric retractable door, and Chen Yi drove into the yard of the "Dream Tree", the snow that had not yet melted set off her figure very brightly, and I was waiting for her under the plane tree.

She wears a red woolen gown, a pair of leather shoes from the Chanel sequin series on her feet, her hair is clean and neat, she is still the one with a great temperament, and temperament is her innate personal business card, which cannot be pretended or thrown away.

Under the plane tree, we stood facing each other, and I looked at her and smiled, but she didn't shy away from my gaze. In the middle of each other's eyes, I said to her, "Qiao Ye has already delivered your wedding card yesterday. ”

Chen Yi didn't have any expression, but after I finished speaking, I shifted my gaze and looked at the flower room behind her, which was all made of glass, and then remembered the song called "Flower Room Girl". But to this day, I don't know what the metaphor behind this song is, but I feel that sometimes it sounds cheerful; Sometimes when a person listens to it, he feels sad inexplicably.

Chen Yi replied: "So, don't you think it's a bit redundant for me to come to you today...... Or, I can bring that wedding card in person, and there is no need for Qiao Ye to pass it on to you. ”

I was silent for a long time before I replied, "It's a little bit...... This kind of behavior is like asking how many years we have known each other, everyone knows it very well in their hearts, but if they don't ask, it seems that there is a little less nostalgic atmosphere. ”

Chen Yi smiled at this time, and then sighed again, and I sat on the bench under the plane tree, crossed Erlang's legs, and lit a cigarette, but there was not a single blooming flower in the glass flower room behind me, which was reserved for the next year's spring.

"And how many years have we known each other?"

I raised my head and looked at Chen Yi, stunned for a moment before replying, "We've known each other since the day you were born. ”

"Have you ever been touched by our relationship?"

"It never stopped." After a moment of silence, I flicked off the ashes and said, "This relationship is unique, and no one can replace it, not even my future wife, who can turn back the clock and spend that very memorable time with me." ”

Chen Yi nodded, and she agreed with my words, because many feelings are mutual.

The pace of our conversation was slow, and after just a few words, the sunset had shifted from the angle diagonally opposite the glass house to the unfinished hotel, but the scenery we faced was even better, with the whole golden light under our feet, and the only thing that made people feel uncomfortable was the damp and cold air.

I said to Chen Yi again: "Go to the bar and sit down, there is a stove inside." ”

"No need, I'll leave in a moment."

"Then you're here on the way."

Chen Yi shook his head and replied: "It's not a way, I've been on the highway since the morning, but the road is very congested, otherwise I can get there in the afternoon." She looked around and said, "It's not bad to be here now...... I've been to the Dream Tree several times, but this time it's the best, like a paradise that has escaped the shackles of the four seasons. ”

"Since you don't want to go into the bar, sit down and talk."

Chen Yi sat down next to me, and the fragrance of her hair came with it, driving away my sobriety, and I thought of the four years when she went to Beijing to study. At this time of year, I go to the airport or train station to pick her up when she comes back from winter vacation. In that waiting time, I can't wait for a special function to compress time.

And after meeting, she never gave me indifference, she would take the initiative to hug me, and then put her hand in my jacket pocket, like my lover; I stroked her hair, and the unforgettable fragrance permeated my entire youth and fulfilled all my fantasies about her.

In the time that passed in silence, I didn't know what Chen Yi was thinking, but I saw her suddenly take out a very thick envelope from her bag, she handed it to me, and whispered to me: "I want to rent a place in the Dream Tree and build a scene that I once dreamed of." ”

I took the envelope, and without looking at the exact amount, I knew that it was a lot more, and I asked her, "Which place do you want?" ”

"In the same place where we are sitting now, because in the scene I dreamed of, there was also an indispensable plane tree."

"Well, you go on."

After a long time, she added: "Maybe you won't believe it, but all I dreamed of was the old alley where we lived for more than 20 years." But this year, it was just demolished, and since you can copy it here, then copy one here, even if it's just a model, and when you have the opportunity, you can come back and take a look, and you will feel happy, and you will feel that the past time has not gone far. ”

"Hmm...... However, you need to do your own dreams, but you don't have the time. ”

Chen Yi looked at me with a complicated gaze, and then asked, "Isn't this the place of your dreams?" …… I just want to ask, is there anyone in the world who knows more about the grass and trees in that alley than you...... I think it's a fair thing for me to contribute money and effort, because you and I have the same needs, and there will be no second identical alley in the whole Nanjing, or even in this world, there is really no more! …… You and I will not still be like boys and girls, waiting there to grow up and wait for love......"

I looked at her speechlessly, her emotions were completely out of control at the moment I looked at her, and she, who had always been steady and dignified, burst into tears in the cold wind like a knife, and then cried again...... But she is no longer the one who could be coaxed by a popsicle in her childhood.

"Don't cry...... Look, how beautiful today's dusk is! ”

"I just cried...... And I'm going to cry to show you...... Because, because you made me ...... You know, what a ...... it is to be a nostalgic person Painful things, but I still ...... I wish you well, I wish you a happy man. No matter which woman is by your side to accompany you through this difficult life in the future...... You must be happy to show me Chen Yi, let me feel that your choice is not wrong, and the wrong person is me! ”

I secretly shed tears, and then quickly shifted my gaze, I was not particularly painful, but I felt as if my life had been bought by something called fate, I could clearly see that there would be countless regrets in this life, but I couldn't turn back...... In the end, I can only make mistakes in these ruthless days, and then look at the women who have been unforgettable, one by one, away from my life...... And I can only hide in a place called the "dream tree", and keep living by dreams and memories.

I finally said to Chen Yi: "Since I am sensible, I will respect every decision you make unconditionally, because I know that you are the woman who will not hurt me in the world, and will not want me or anything...... Now, you're getting married, and I still bless you, but it's a pity that there is no distinction between high-level and low-level blessings, otherwise I must be the highest-level one...... I don't have any special extravagant hopes, I just hope that after you get married, you will treat me as your mother's brother, so that I don't miss every moment of your happiness...... For example, the moment you put on your wedding dress; For example, the day you became a mother; And the day you turned thirty, you were already a successful woman and a happy mother, and I can see these in my eyes and remember them in my heart, and that's enough! ”

Chen Yi wiped away her tears, she closed her eyes and replied, "Thank you...... Thank you. ”

I felt sad again, but I didn't want to let myself shed another tear, because it was too inappropriate, just like I wouldn't have taken her into my arms at this time...... I told Qiao Ye a long time ago that she and I are already people on two roads, and the reason why it is still painful is because we have walked together for too long, so long that when we look back, they are all each other's figures!

I don't know when, the sky has darkened, the northwest wind has blown colder, and the suburbs seem more and more empty, but even so, it can't contain the sadness we are about to overflow, and the youth we carry on our backs, after it is dispersed, all that is left is the lament of "just a life"!

"Jiangqiao ......"

"Hmm."

"Look at me ......"

I looked up at her, she didn't apply powder, I saw pity, I couldn't bear to look at her......

"Do you know when I started to decide to start a new life and start accepting men other than you?"

There seems to be a kind of telepathy, and I thought of the picture of her and her parents visiting before my grandmother died, and Yang Jin was also present at that time, which was the first time that Yang Jin appeared in everyone's sight with her shining aura. I replied, "Maybe it's in Grandma's hospital room, everyone who should have come that day has come, and people who shouldn't have come have come!" ”

"Well, yes...... That day, when I saw my grandmother hoping that you and Jin Qiu would become a couple in front of everyone, I knew that there was no fate to be your wife in this life, you and all of us saw it differently, you only experienced such a difficult time because of an accident or misunderstanding...... In essence, you are a rich kid from a better background than Qiao Ye, but you don't want to admit it...... But that's not the root of my choice to give up...... I know that after Xiao Ai leaves, as long as you remain patient, you will come into your life one day, but ......"

I patiently waited for Chen Yi to continue, because these secret thoughts in her heart are also what I have always wanted to know, after all, no one wants to live a lifetime with misunderstandings.

Chen Yi calmed down, and she said: "That night, on the way after my parents and I left, my mother asked me...... Is it possible to start again with you...... At that moment, I didn't know what I was feeling, and then I was completely desperate...... I told myself, I have loved you for so many years, and I have never tried anything, even if I leave, I have to leave with dignity! And starting a new relationship is the best proof of this. And I did that in the days that followed...... However, it was the price of my life...... Isn't that too much to pay? …… But I don't have a choice, because I know what you're after! …… You don't need a love that is full of worldly measurements, and that's something you'll never get in me...... So, I'm going to marry someone else, and I just want to leave that most beautiful innocence in your heart...... It's like that old alley, like our childhood with a lot of sunshine! ”

At this time, another gust of wind blew up my mood and her hair......
