Chapter 3: A Twist of Fate

Australia's unique summer is the island of Tasmania, with a temperate oceanic climate that keeps it warm all year round. www.biquge.info No, after two o'clock in the afternoon, the originally clear sky was gradually shrouded in haze, and the dark clouds quickly hid the sun behind him to prevent it from being eroded by the rain. After a while, the light rain began to fall, Ning Qianyu held a transparent umbrella, wore a black unadorned windbreaker, walked briskly on the sidewalk, with a gust of wind behind her, so that the long black hair fluttered backwards in the wind, there was a pure purple scarf around her neck, and her black leather boots stepped on the rain, making a "da-da" sound, her emaciated figure was wrapped in all-black clothes, which made her expression even more gloomy, and her face became more and more pale in the past few days.

The antique wooden hut, the sign on the door said "coffeehouse", looking at the close door, she hesitated for a long time, and finally took a deep breath, plucked up her courage, lifted her steps, raised her arms, pushed open the door and walked in.

Hearing the crisp sound of "jingle bell" and hearing the waiter's "welcome", she nodded to them out of politeness, and then glanced at the agreed seats between them, each seat was covered by a curtain, and at this time the curtain in that position was half-hidden, revealing half of the back "above the starry sky". She put away her umbrella, put it in the bucket at the door, and walked to the position, and a step or two was about to arrive, but she took it back. After hesitating for a long time, she finally turned around and took a step, ready to leave the place, but unexpectedly, her right wrist was grabbed by a hand that suddenly stretched out—"Since you are here, why leave in a hurry?" Am I that scary? Makes you so nervous? A series of questions and such a familiar voice made Ning Qianyu close her eyes heavily, and the words he asked her in the grape grove that day came to her in her mind: "You already guessed that it was me, right?" ”

"Yes, I doubted it for a long time, but I was a little unsure at first, until you said, 'I'm not qualified to like anyone,' I was sure of you, and I invited you out to meet." He stood up and casually pulled up the curtains, leaving the two of them alone in the small space wrapped in the curtains. "Didn't you already know it was me? Before meeting me today. His determined smile made her a little confused.

He pulled over the chair and invited her to sit down, and then sat down himself, this time Ning Qianyu did not run away again, and now she had to face the reality and plan to tell him the truth.

"This is what I gave you." He took out a beautifully wrapped box from behind his back and placed it in front of her. Ning Qianyu took it and opened it. Inside is a black music box, dotted with bits and pieces of silver diamonds, broken and small, but very dense, with a black background, like a "broken galaxy".

She pressed the button, and the sound came to Schubert's "The Virgin Mary". Melodious music eased the stiff atmosphere between them slightly.

"Now can you explain things to me? Don't worry, I won't force you, you can say what you want. ”

"Well, after getting along for so many days, we can be considered friends, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." She sighed, pulled her phone out of the pocket of her trench coat, pulled up a map of Australia, and zoomed in on Tasmania to show him.

"Look, this Tasmania, isn't it like a heart?" She pointed to Tasmania.

He nodded in agreement, and it was very similar.

"I've always thought that it was the heart of the world, so I wanted to know how often the heart of the world beats."

"What about the man? Who is he? Why are they chasing you? He continued to ask.

She exhaled and put away her phone, "The man you see is my fiancé, we will get married soon, I was thinking, after marriage, I have to fulfill the responsibility of a wife, so I can't come out to play as I want, I secretly hid from my family, and came to Australia alone to travel, I thought I could spend this short time smoothly, but I didn't expect so many things to happen, and you, just an accident in my journey." When she said this, her eyes kept unabashedly meeting his, and his eyes occasionally shone sadly because of her words. Is your 'I'm not qualified to like anyone' because of that? ”

"Yes."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at her full of hope: "Then you mean that you have feelings for me?" She replied in the affirmative, as if it were the only piece of driftwood he could save his life in the boundless sea.

"Nope." She replied in the affirmative, without the slightest hesitation. But the light in his eyes was extinguished in an instant, and he was swallowed up by endless disappointment and despair.

He stood up blankly, and Ning Qianyu's next action became the last straw that crushed him - she stuffed the music box into his hand, handed it back to him, and then left without looking back, her long silky hair brushing his face, leaving a faint fragrance, but it was also fleeting.

He stared at the music box in his hand in a daze, then palmed it down, his anger turned into strength, and he slammed it to the ground - the music box shattered, and his tears broke with it.

Yes, how dare he expect, and how can he expect her to have feelings for him? She already has a fiancé!

At the moment when Ning Qianyu went out, she heard a crisp sound, it was no longer the sound of a bell, although her eyes were looking ahead, but her attention was always on him, of course she knew that it was the music box that had just played Ning Qianyu's favorite music, but it was broken just now......

Walking in the rain, she did not open her umbrella again to hide the sad tears from the sky. Instead, he let the cold rain lap on his face, and finally couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain that drenched his face......

I walked in the rain for a long time, and no matter how thick the clothes were, no matter how light the rain was, the clothes were gradually soaked. The phone that was put back in the pocket rang at this time. Hearing the familiar urging voice on the phone, she replied coldly: "Okay, I'll go back." ”

......

Two months later,

"Yaming-san, you have a courier." I was losing my mind when I suddenly felt my right eyelid throb violently, and at this time, a classmate informed him that there was a courier in the communication room.

When he came back to his senses, he answered and walked to the communication room......

It was a package, and a letter, and Yaming took it to the playground of the schoolyard, sat down in the audience next to the playground, and opened the envelope to look at it. Written on it is a string of numbers, 11 digits in total, and below the numbers there is a note: Call me.

Although Yaming was suspicious, he took out his phone and dialed the number written on the letter, and then he heard a very familiar voice, with a magnetic baritone. The original phrase: "Don't trust her" came out of his mouth.

"Hello, you must have received the package."

"Well, you're married, and I haven't blessed you yet." Ya Ming's head was hot, and he didn't think much about it, and the words came out of his mouth, with imperceptible jealousy.

"That's what Xiao Yu told you?" There was laughter on the other end of the phone, which made Yaming realize that he had been deceived again? Sure enough: "You've been deceived." ”

"That package was sent to you by Xiao Yutuo, you can open it and take a look, maybe you can understand something. After you finish reading, don't forget to come to the central hospital, Xiao Yu is preparing for surgery, and this may be the last time you will see each other. The other party's tone was obviously a little sad. Ling Yaming realized that Xiao Yu was not lightly ill, and he didn't care about opening the package at this time, regardless of the doorman's obstruction, he hurriedly ran out of the school, stopped a taxi, and rushed to the central hospital.

In the car, he took the opportunity to open the package for more than ten minutes, and it was a digital camera inside, which was very familiar, and when he opened it to check the contents inside, he remembered that it was Ning Qianyu's camera.

There were some photos inside, and Ya Ming recognized it at a glance as the scenery of Tasmania, familiar as if he was in Tasmania now, which reminded him of the time he spent with Ning Qianyu. Flipping through the pages of photos, at the end of the picture came to my eye, Ya Ming pressed it open with his somewhat trembling hand, it turned out to be Ning Qianyu playing on the organ in a church in Tasmania. And the sound that comes out is Mendelssohn's "Wedding March".

That particular tune evokes a reminder of the two of them spending time together two months ago. His eyes were a little moist, and the appearance of Ning Qianyu playing elegantly in front of him gradually blurred.

After a song, there is also a video.

He opened it again, and when he saw what was coming out of it, his tears fell.

"Now I've decided to tell you the truth, and tell you everything I lied to you as it is." Ning Qianyu in the picture is still the same as when she was separated from him, her face is very thin and looks very haggard.

"I actually have congenital heart disease, I have spent at home and in the hospital since I was a child, and I have not been exposed to the outside world, and recently I received a notice of surgery, the chance of success is only one in four, I don't have any hope for it, before the operation I hope to have the best journey of my life, so I went to Australia despite my family's hindrance, but I never thought that in fact, my best journey was to meet you." Ning Qianyu said this, but her head that had been facing the camera lowered, and Ya Ming clearly saw the moment her head was lowered - she cried.

"Remember that church in Tasmania? When I first walked in, I had delusional hopes that I would be able to marry you in there. But I also know that it's just delusional. ”

"I'm going to have surgery, and I'd like to see you before I do, because this might be my last chance—" This is the end of the scene. At this time, the taxi also stopped, Ya Ming took out the money and handed it to the driver, and he didn't care about the change that the driver recovered, so he quickly opened the door and rushed into the gate of the central hospital.

After rushing in, he was confused, and only then did he remember that he didn't know where Ning Qianyu was, he ran to the front desk of the hospital to ask Ning Qianyu's housing, but the nurse couldn't find the ward he was talking about, and when he was anxious, a voice sounded: "Xiao Yu is right, you really came." ”
