Chapter I

01

On a dog day in 2014, Xia Liangshan fled from Haicheng all the way to a small island near Alaska.

Unlike the hot and dry sea city, the place where the sun is short and the ice fields are wide always gives people the illusion of being in Antarctica.

There, Xia Lianglone's clothes were thin, her face was pale, and her original wolf appearance was covered by the tranquility in her expression.

The hotel where she stayed was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the smell of foliage wrapped around the drowsy setting, dense forests, and large chunks of ice floes, making her body tremble like autumn leaves.

At dusk that day, the glow was reflected on the windless sea, and the cruise ship, the Watch, disappeared for three days and three nights before it was discovered by a local shipping company near Tierra del Fuego. After a brief pause on the island due to the ship's broken hull, the shipping company's staff decided to haul it back to the company's headquarters.

Suddenly, they found a young woman jumping overboard and struggling to swim onto the broken cruise ship. At that moment, everyone was stunned. The staff on the artificial yacht kept shouting at her: "This young lady, it's dangerous up there, come down quickly!"

At that moment, Xia Liangliang was silent as if she hadn't heard it, and the sea water soaked her hair, her face, and her clothes. She stood on the rickety cruise ship, and her voice was hysterical and messy: "My loved one was wrecked on this ship a few days ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown!" I know you're busy with the search and rescue work, can you bring me along? ”

At this time, the cruise ship shook more and more violently, the sea began to wind, and in order to protect her safety, the oldest search and rescuer on the artificial yacht hurriedly jumped onto the damaged cruise ship, and he stood in the corner diagonally opposite her, balancing with her.

The wind was getting stronger, and her long, seaweed-thick hair covered her with sadness, and in order to soothe her messy thoughts, he had to lie to her: "Ma'am, those tourists have been found by us, and they are now being resuscitated in the hospital." You, don't get excited, grab my hand, we'll take you to him now!" ”

At that moment, Xia Liang's dark eyes began to shine. When her thoughts were messy, she believed his words. I saw her staggering in front of him, grabbing his hand, and the waves were raging below, and the two of them held their breath and jumped onto the artificial yacht in an instant.

The moment she landed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the elderly search and rescuer took advantage of her respite to quietly send someone to drive the yacht to the dock, ignoring the confusion in her eyes, picked her up on her back, and threw her the dock.

Xia Liang couldn't care about the faint pain, she struggled to get up, but the yacht had gradually gone away. Realizing that the rescuer was lying to her, her eyes filled with tears, but she still gritted her teeth and shouted in their direction: "Stop! You liars! ”

She knew that such a crazy self was like a psychopath. And the reason why she fell to this point is because of a man.

The time goes back to two months ago, and that day was Xia Liangliang's 23rd birthday.

Everyone had a good time that night, Xia Liangshan had been occupying the microphone to sing to everyone, and in the neon flashing private room, Shen Liangye was smiling at her while drinking beer.

He smiled so beautifully, his teeth were snow-white, his facial features were marked, and in an instant, she blushed.

But then, he suddenly asked her seriously: "Xia Lianglone, has anyone told you that you look like a star?"

Xia Liangshan was secretly happy in his heart, jumped in front of him like a little madman, blinked his round eyes and asked him: "Liangye, then tell me quickly, which star am I like?"

He looked at her intently and smiled, "Zhao Zhongxiang." ”

Listening to the laughter that erupted all around her, Xia Liangshan was not angry at all, she thought, as long as Shen Liangye was happy. Because her greatest wish in Xia Liangliang's life is nothing more than to be a bird-like woman by Shen Liangye's side.

But she still asked him, "Why do you say that I am like Zhao Zhongxiang?" ”

Shen Liangye raised his head and thought about it, and smiled, "Because he is my grandmother's idol, and you look so similar to him, if I take you home, she will definitely like you very much." ”

It was pouring rain outside the glass window of the bar, and he and she stood in front of the window that had been violently hit by the torrential rain, and kissed each other.

At that moment, she in a white dress and Shen Liangye in a black T-shirt seemed to merge into one.

In the cheers of everyone, Xia Liangshan collapsed in his arms, and tears soon wet his clothes.

The man she had loved for six years finally decided to accept her on the night of her 23rd birthday.

So that night, she was so happy that she was drunk.

That day, Shen Liangye sent her home, and he carried her to the underground parking lot, his back was very wide, but thin, which made people feel distressed.

With a strong sense of drunkenness, she whispered at his back: "Shen Liangye, Shen Liangye"

"What?" His voice was still cold, but his body temperature was warm.

"I'm a stupid whale that can finally squeeze into your waters, right?"

Shen Liangye didn't speak, but carried her into the car.

His palms lightly covered her cheeks, and his warm breath hit the most sensitive places behind her ears, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol.

After a moment of dizziness, looking at his handsome side face, Xia Liang froze. I saw him smile at her while suddenly putting a clove of garlic into her mouth like a trick. Looking at her distorted face, he seemed to laugh and said to her, "Come, eat some garlic and cure hangover."

The drunkenness seemed to disappear in that moment, Xia Liangshan hurriedly opened the car window, spit out the garlic in his mouth out of the car window, and then glared at him fiercely, "Shen Liangye, you are a fallacy, eating garlic can't cure hangover!" ”

He leaned on the steering wheel and laughed, cut a pear in half, and handed her half of it, "Then eat pears, there is always one way to solve the bar?" ”

He took a bite of the pear and looked at her with a smirk. At that moment, Xia Liangshan opened the car window again, threw the pear in her hand without hesitation, and while he was stunned, she snatched half of his pear and threw it out of the window with lightning speed.

"Shen Liangye, 'dividing pears' means 'separation', who wants to separate from you?"

In the shadows, the lighter lit up, he took a deep breath of cigarette, with a hint of helplessness, twisted her cheek and said, "Xia Lianglone, why are you doing this?" ”

At that time, they never thought that in just one month, the phrase "dividing pears" was "separation", and it was miraculously fulfilled.

03

There is only one hotel on the island, and the owner, Davy, is an Englishman, about the same age as Xia Liangxi, and has recently married a Chinese girl, so he has developed a strong interest in ancient Chinese while studying Chinese hard.

Sometimes he would chat with Xia Liangshan for a few words, the content was nothing more than asking her for some annotations to the poems, and Xia Liangshan always responded to him absentmindedly.

At noon that day, David had just had lunch with his wife, and was about to go out to bask in the sun with the Persian cat named Meimei, when he happened to bump into Xia Liangshan running in from the door in a panic.

The sun shone into her eyes, and a touch of sadness appeared on her face, and even her breathing was rapid, "David, what time is the earliest cruise to Seattle in the afternoon?" ”

David put down Meimei, put it in front of the door, counted the eagerness in her eyes, and said, "Not today, as early as ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

At that moment, Xia Liang sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the blue sea outside the window in a daze, with a bit of self-deprecation on his face, different from the usual indifference and alienation.

Seeing this, David's wife hurriedly helped her up, and asked her in a nice voice, "Miss Xia, is there any news about the person you love?"

She nodded mechanically and whispered, "I just got the news that he and those victims have all been found."

"And how are they doing now?"

"It's not optimistic."

In the middle of the night, the sea breeze was slightly cool, blowing the light curtains, and Xia Liangliang woke up from the nightmare crying again.

This time, she had that dream again.

In the dream, Shen Liangye's kiss fell finely, and she trembled all over, like a delicate rose. His voice was as seductive as a ghost, piercing through her internal organs, "Liang Lone, won't you regret it?" ”

She responded by breathing quickly and kissing him on the lips, like an electric current, and a single kiss caused them to lose their minds and □□ to a sea of mountains.

That night, a fight to the death.

Beautiful is like a spring and autumn dream.

But when it was daylight, he was gone.

After waking up, Xia Liang looked at the blank space on her side, and hurriedly stepped on the cold slippers to look for him, beside the familiar street, in the street garden, every corner and corner he might have been, she searched all over, but there was no trace of him. His mobile phone was always turned off, and when she finally contacted Shen Liangye's assistant Chen Fang, he was also hesitant and did not reveal any news about Shen Liangye to her.

Just as she began to despair, Li Fangfei came to her with a group of people, she sent someone to drag her arm hard, and then without saying a word, she shoved a piece of emergency contraception into her mouth.

Looking at the decadence and anger in her eyes, Li Fangfei laughed out loud, "Xia Lianglone, don't look for it!" Shen Liangye, he doesn't want you anymore! He told me to sue you on his behalf, forget that night, and get out of his world completely! ”

The bitterness of the pill soon filled her mouth, with a thick sadness, she held back the tears that were about to collapse, and shouted hysterically at Li Fangfei: "Impossible! You lied to me! ”

After speaking, she struggled to break free from the restraints from her arms and scuffled with Li Fangfei.

Li Fangfei grabbed her shirt and yelled at her reluctantly: "Xia Liangliang, don't be stupid!" Who doesn't know that Shen Liangye is only with you to fulfill someone! ”

Hearing this, Xia Liangshan was completely enraged by her words, and the flames in her eyes were burning, "You are talking nonsense!" ”

In the rainstorm, her hair was messy and scarred. Li Fangfei was hit in the head by her, and in the chaotic scene of blood, with a mixture of panic and anger, she hurriedly dialed 120 to send Li Fangfei to the hospital.

Then, she heard a shocking news: Shen Liangye's "Watch" cruise ship was sunk on a small island in Alaska, and more than 300 people on the cruise ship were all missing.

A few days before his accident, almost everyone in Haicheng knew that Shen Liangye was about to replace the seriously ill Shen Liangnian to inherit the family business.

Unexpectedly, the accident came so suddenly.

So on that dog day, in order to avoid police interrogation, Xia Liangshan hurried to the island after paying all the medical bills for Li Fangfei in a panic.

She had no time, she was going to him, she wanted him to tell her personally, and his affection for her was by no means the fulfillment of someone. What Li Fangfei said to her was all false. So with an almost perverted obsession, she really went there.

The night before going to Seattle, when the stars were reflected in the deep blue sea, David read to her word by word in broken Chinese: "Miss Xia, does this sentence 'looking at the ruins, as if it was yesterday, make people feel trombone', what is the meaning?"

That sentence stabbed her heart suddenly, her dark eyes stared at the quiet water, and her voice was extremely dry, "The meaning of this sentence is that recalling the past, as if it happened yesterday, is really unbearable to cry out loud." ”

"So, do you miss the past? Which year would you most like to go back to? ”

"2008."

"Why?"

Because, at that time, the herbs were delicious and the fallen flowers were colorful, and that year, she and him met for the first time.
