Chapter Twenty-Six: Memories Like Poppies
The night sky is bright, the stars are bright, the bright full moon exudes a cold clear glow, and on the bustling riverside, pedestrians walk in a hurry, except for a lonely person, walking aimlessly, letting his pace slow down and slower, or finishing a road that is usually too long to walk
She stood by the river, looking at the sparkling starlight waves by the railing, the breeze came slowly, one after another, just like her already quiet heart, Tong Hao was like a breeze, he blew gently, and her heart set off layers of ripples, layer after layer, layer by layer, layer by layer, and then startled a splash
Infinitely melancholy, she was upset and wanted to find someone to accompany her, looked through the contacts on her phone, and did not find a suitable person to share the loneliness in her heart, so she gave up and put the phone back in her bag.
After a few seconds, the phone rang, she looked at the caller ID one by one, a little surprised, but still connected, "Hey? ”
"Why are you calling me?"
"I didn't call you."
"You called, I just connected, and you hung up." As soon as Yi Li got off work, he saw her calling him, and as soon as he answered, she hung up, so he dialed her phone and walked towards the underground garage.
She looked at the call log, and 1 minute ago, it did show that she had called Yi Li, and he explained, "Maybe I accidentally pressed it." ”
"Oh, where?"
"Riverside."
"Alone?"
"Hmm."
"You're in a bad mood?" Yi Li asked in an inappropriate voice.
"It's okay, but if you have time, let's take a trip to the riverside, I've been back to China until now, and the time for us to meet is numbered."
"You think everyone is as idle as you. Wait a minute, I'm off work, I'll go. ”
"Okay."
After a while, after Yi Li parked the car in the garage, he walked directly in the direction of Qianxi, and saw a woman wearing a shawl and scattered flaxen curls looking at the lake in a daze with sad eyes, and smiled, "It's rare to see you show such sad eyes." ”
Qianxi glanced at Yi Li impatiently, "Don't say that I look like a carefree fairy." ”
Yi Li pouted, "What's wrong, in a bad mood?" ”
"Didn't you knowingly ask?" Qianxi said unhappily.
Yi Li nodded and looked at the lake, "Say, tell me if you are unhappy, we have been old friends for so many years, and we don't need to see each other." ”
Qianxi was silent for a while, "Tong Hao is getting married." ”
After hearing this, Yi Li's expression was surprised, but after a while, he stared at the lake with an expressionless face, but he was sad in his heart that they were going to get married? It's a sad thing to hear that the woman you love is going to marry your best brother.
Qianxi looked at his expression and sneered, "Don't pretend, in fact, your heart is so sad that you want to die." ”
"I'm the same, I thought that when I chose to go abroad, I didn't fight or grab, and I would be together, I would die, and once I returned to China, I also ruthlessly cut off contact with him, so that we are drifting apart, I shouldn't miss and possess it anymore, but I overestimate myself too much, and he just happened to meet, and my heart began to messy" Qianxi said sadly.
Yi Li looked at her and said in a faint voice, "That's fine, they're married, and we should die too." ”
Qianxi said a little unwillingly, "I really regret it, I shouldn't have left in the first place, I should have worked hard, even if I couldn't get Tong Hao's heart in the end, at least I worked hard, and now I don't even have a chance to work hard."
Yi Li bowed his head lightly, he also regretted it, if he didn't care so much back then, wouldn't the current situation be like this?
"Why didn't you agree to my request back then, maybe we won't regret it here now," Qianxi said with a reproachful look at Yi Li.
"What do you say I can do, Tong Hao is my brother from childhood to adulthood, he and Xiyan really love each other." Yi Li reluctantly admits this fact.
"Don't you know Tong Hao? He is such a cold person, you and I have no way to disintegrate the coldness on him, but Xi Yan did it easily"
"They care about each other so much, love each other so much, how can I ruin their happiness."
Yi Li's words won the approval of Qianxi, back then, she just saw Tong Hao's gentleness and care about Xiyan before she decided to let go, Tong Hao was cold, because he had a sad childhood, so he has been freezing his gentle heart, although she and Yi Li are Tong Hao's childhood sweethearts, but he has never been gentle with them, not that Tong Hao is prejudiced against them, but because they have been together for a long time for many years, everyone is used to Tong Hao's personality.
What's more important than seeing someone you like happy? At that time, Qianxi saw that Tong Hao and Xiyan were so happy together, although she was very envious, jealous, heartbroken, and unwilling, she could only choose to let go. I finally knew the sentence 'The reason why a person is cold to you is because he is not warm to you'. Tong Hao's gentleness only belongs to Xi Yan, who has lived by his side for more than 20 years, although he is unwilling, but still chooses to fulfill it, so he chose to apply to study abroad, left Shanghai, went to a country without Tong Hao, and forgot his attachment and love for Tong Hao
Now that four years have passed, she thought she could let go, but she still couldn't do it, and she kept telling herself unwillingly, "You can't just give up, Tong Hao is her own happiness, how can she let go easily"
"Is this really the only way to go?" Qianxi asked sadly. She was asking both herself and Yili, and she hoped to get an answer
"Hmm." Yi Li replied simply.
After Qianxi heard this, she knew that the person she liked was going to marry another woman, and her heart was really like a knife
Yi Li looked at Qianxi and said in a light tone, "Let's not bother them anymore." ”
"Are you willing?"
"What if you are unwilling, two happiness is better than four people suffering."
Qianxi didn't say a word, her heart ached
The two were quiet for a while, and then Yi Li said, "I'll send you back." ”
"No, you can go back first."
Yi Li looked at Qianxi worriedly, "You won't be unable to think about it." ”
"Although I am unwilling, I am not stupid enough to think about it"
Yi Li nodded, "Qianxi, let's all look forward, don't live in memories all the time." Memories are like poppies, the more aftertaste, the more delicious, the more bewitching, the more lost. ”
This sentence is not only to tell Qianxi, but also to remind herself that no matter how good the sunset is, the end has become a memory, and no matter how beautiful the memory is, you have to wave goodbye
Qianxi nodded helplessly and said softly, "I know." ”
After hearing this, Yi Li left with confidence.
Back in the car, Yi Li felt a pain in his heart, Qianxi was so unwilling and persistent, why wasn't he like this
