Chapter 188: Recovering Faith
I just stared at Mi Cai, and the heart that had been silent in love for several years was throbbing, and I couldn't say anything for a long time, and I lit a cigarette for myself on the busy street, and turned my head to look at Mi Cai's figure reflected in the window, a little trance, a bit like a dream.
I exhaled a long puff of cigarette and headed straight for Mi Cai, but she didn't avoid it, still looking at me with the same look she had just looked.
I just pinched the cigarette in my hand, didn't take another puff, smiled and asked Mi Cai, "Do you know what I'm thinking?" ”
"I don't know."
"If time freezes here, and then we're old, with drooping eyebrows and gray temples, we'll cross the street by each other's arms, huddle up by the fire to keep warm, and if we still have the strength, I'll play the guitar for you and make you sing...... However, you and I are only 26 years old, no, we are just over 27 years old, and we still have a long way to go, and I am the short leg that can't match your slender leg, so we will limp all the way......"
Mi Cai was silent, but she must have understood the meaning of my words, she was so smart.
I flicked off the cigarette ash that had accumulated for a long time, took a heavy breath, let the smoke go around the lungs in pain before spitting it out, and said with a smile: "I love your beauty, I like your smile, but these are not as solid as the wrinkles when I fell in love with you in my twilight years, so I ......"
Mi Cai interrupted me, and she smiled back at me: "Zhaoyang, I want to hear you sing, just ...... now"
I looked at her puzzled, but the cigarette butt in my hand had burned to the end, burned my hand, and hurriedly threw it away.
"I want you to elope...... Sing it to me, okay? ”
Looking at her expectant expression, I couldn't think of refusing anymore, nodded and sang in a low voice on the crowded streets.
“…… I dream of true love and freedom, I want to take you to elope to the farthest town, I want to take you to elope to be the happiest person, in a familiar foreign land I will exile myself year after year, through flowers and thorns just for the land of freedom, in the city of desire you are my last faith, white as a joyful light will illuminate my heart, don't be sad anymore I see hope, do you still have the courage to leave with me, want to take you to elope to the farthest town, want to take you to elope, to be the happiest person......"
The lyrics seemed to tear apart the most primitive desires in my heart, and I couldn't control it, so I transitioned from low voice to hoarseness, so that many passers-by stopped and stood under the same street lamp as us, watching us......
"Zhaoyang, as the song goes, if you are thirsty for true love and freedom, you will definitely walk through thorns and flowers...... I want to ask you, do you still have the courage to find the last faith in the city of desire and take me to the farthest town? ”
I looked at the crowded crowd around me, a little dizzy in the eyes of all colors, the world was in a trance again, in my script, I have never written such a plot at this time, what happened to Mi Cai? Even if I want to confess, I should confess first, not her, the fairy who fell into the mortal dust......
I squatted on the ground and motioned for Mi Cai to come to my back, Mi Cai did not hesitate, bent down and lay on my back, I supported her to overcome the resistance and stood up from the ground, and then broke through the shackles of the crowd and ran into the distance, but unexpectedly found Li Xiaoyun standing in the crowd for a moment, her figure gradually blurred with the sound of the discussion, until it disappeared.
……
Avoiding the hustle and bustle of the city, I carried Mi Cai to the ancient moat, which is different from the moat in Suzhou, which is more mottled and old, but also quieter.
I stopped, and Mi Cai also left my body, and I bent over to gasp heavily, this way not only released madness and joy, but also brought a heavy burden to my body.
I lay on the withered lawn, Mi Cai sat next to me, and she took out a tissue and handed it to me.
"Thank you." I took the tissue from her hand and wiped the sweat off my face.
A gust of wind blew, and there was the sound of firecrackers, which blew fireworks in the distance, and also blew us into silence.
Mi Cai also seemed a little tired, and she lay down beside me.
I wanted to take out the cigarette from my pocket, but found that the cigarette case had been left behind in the violent running just now, and I was a little nervous, but I still followed my inner thoughts and said to Mi Cai next to me: "Wait for me...... Wait for me to rest for a while and ...... with you Vindicate. ”
"Hmm...... Do you want cigarettes, I'll buy them for you. ”
"Yes, but you have to go a long way to buy it, aren't you afraid of being tired?"
Mi Cai shook her head: "Don't be afraid, I can take a walk and rest, but don't forget to confess to me later." ”
"Okay, wait until you get back."
"Well, what cigarette do you want?"
"Zhongnanhai of point eight."
Mi Cai nodded, and was about to leave, but I called out to her again: "Wait......"
"What's wrong?"
"You...... Nervous? ”
"Nervous...... So, I need to walk around, you need cigarettes. ”
"That's right, then you go slower, but you must come back."
Mi Cai smiled: "Are you afraid that you won't be able to smoke, or are you afraid that I won't come back?" ”
"I'm afraid that if you don't come back, cigarettes can always be bought, if you don't buy them, I can buy them myself."
"I see."
"Well, go ahead, come back with cigarettes, with you, with my faith...... No matter how long it takes, it will be waiting for you. ”
……
Mi Cai left, and I was left with only myself in my world, so I sat up from the lawn with melancholy and some loss, and then looked at the rippling river in distraction.
I can imagine what will happen in half an hour, or maybe an hour.
Last year, she was 26 years old, I met her, she was my landlord or tenant, and this year she is 27 years old, but she became my girlfriend and helped me find my long-lost faith.
But how am I feeling now? It's hard to explain, but I know it's time to fight, and I don't want to be the leg that shortens her, let alone let her accommodate me and help me move forward.
But what kind of height do you have to reach to go smoothly with her? I am a little disappointed, because I have no career plan at all, and my mind is still stuck on seeking a stable job, obviously this so-called stable job can no longer satisfy me.
In the midst of joy and confusion, I received a message, which was sent by Jian Wei: "Zhaoyang, I have already returned with Aggie for the guitar, and you can pay off the money owed to Aji." ”
I know that when Jane Wei saw Aji, she probably already knew that I used this guitar to exchange for another guitar and gave it to Mi Cai, so she didn't give Aji money, which is very understandable, if she gave Aji money, then Taylor's guitar became what she indirectly gave to Mi Cai, isn't this black humor?
I read this message many times, but I felt that the gears of fate seemed to turn between us, and when this guitar returned to Janeway, it meant that we had at least completely drawn a line in material terms, erasing that unforgettable imprint, and on the same day, I came together because I liked Mi Cai, and was this a coincidence or fate?
I hope it is fate, if fate is at least traceable, if it is a coincidence, we can only rise and fall restlessly in the wind of coincidence!
