Chapter 41: The Past
As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow is divided by tall and low buildings, and the breeze blows away the last shred of heat in the air.
The handsome boy and the beautiful woman walked side by side on the street, smiling and smiling, like a pair of sisters and brothers.
"Believe it, it's the first time I've come home with a guy." Zhou Qinyi looked at the boy with a warm smile next to him and said softly.
"It's a great honor." Lin Tianze replied, "If it is possible, I hope to accompany you for the rest of my life." ”
"Is that how you usually talk to girls?" Zhou Qinyi covered her mouth and chuckled, then asked.
"It's the first time I've said that to a girl." Lin Tianze looked at this woman who had been entangled with him for two lives, and then said softly.
"Then I should be extremely honored." Zhou Qinyi's delicate and perfect face bloomed with a smile like a breeze, and then said mischievously.
"Qin Yi, you know what, you're the most beautiful when you laugh." Lin Tianze looked into her eyes and said seriously.
"Yes, I don't remember how long I haven't laughed, Lin Tianze, no matter what, I thank you." Zhou Qinyi said, her voice was very soft and sincere.
"Interested in hearing my story?" Zhou Qinyi said, I don't know why, she suddenly wants to tell this boy about herself now, there are too many things in her heart that weigh on her, making her breathless.
Lin Tianze didn't speak, looking at this woman whose eyes were full of pain, he suddenly felt a little distressed, how much did she endure to have such palpitating and desperate eyes.
He gently took her slender and delicate hand, and then squeezed it gently, telling her that he was by her side, he didn't have any blasphemous thoughts in his heart, just wanted to give her a trace of warmth, a trace of strength.
Zhou Qinyi glanced at him, did not refuse, and gently held these hands.
"Twelve years ago, I was wrapped like a doll in a gift box and sent from the countryside to the city." Zhou Qinyi's voice was hoarse, and there was a tearing pain.
"Before that day, I had never thought I would be dressed so beautifully, as I had always been used to running in the fields. The man who sent me into the city told me that he and his woman were not my biological parents, and that my parents were a thousand or ten thousand times richer than he was. I don't want to look at his red eyes. He doesn't want me anymore, who cares about him? Zhou Qinyi's voice was soft and soft, and it couldn't fall to the ground, just like her hair caught behind her ears, and fluttered lightly in the air.
Zhou Qinyi was silent for a long time, so long that when she thought that Lin Tianze felt that her story was going to end without a clue, her hoarse voice sounded again.
"I didn't want to leave, so I hid in a banyan tree cave one kilometer outside the village for two days and two nights, and the thought of not wanting to leave exceeded hunger, even more than my life, and finally I was found by the adults in the village. I saw a familiar little face in a group of adults, and it was my best friend, playmate. I thought it was a betrayal, I didn't forgive him, I just remember his miserable white face when he looked at the ox cart and left the village, I was so proud that I didn't look back......" Zhou Qinyi's expression was very calm, but Lin Tianze knew that she had remorse in her heart, and the hurt she had done to her friends as a child made her difficult to let go.
"It's true that a home in the city is much richer than a home in the country. The man who sent me smiled humbly at the man in the city, and he didn't know where to put his hand. During the meal, he was too strong to drink, and he actually made an exception to drink several glasses with the city man who was good at drinking. ”
"Before leaving, the man in the city told me to see him off, but I didn't say a word to him, but when I was about to leave, I saw two lines of muddy tears rolling down his dark face on the ox cart, and my heart was extremely painful, and I secretly scolded myself for not being productive."
"At that moment, I also remembered the woman in the countryside, who had to take care of her own children at home, and she didn't come to see me off, but just helped me braid my hair for a long time before leaving."
She said, I won't have a chance to braid your hair in the future. I said, I won't wear braids after that. I was twelve years old. ”
Lin Tianze looked at Zhou Qinyi's short hair, his hand tightened, and he felt pain in his heart.
"There are four people in this family in the city, in addition to the soft-spoken man and his woman, there is a sister who is three years older than me and a brother who is two years younger than me. There were no strange eyes as expected, and they were very nice to me, which was beyond my expectations. I don't want to call a man and his woman a parent, I can't forget the muddy tears and the braids that won't come again. ”
"My brother's name is Zhou Xiaojie, he is in the same junior high school as me, he is a lively child, he can play with everyone around him. Because he is very weak and often bullied by boys to the point of crying, most of the girls protect him like a younger brother. Zhou Qinyi had a gentle smile on her face when she talked about her younger brother.
"Is it weak?" Lin Tianze asked softly, remembering the scene when he saw Zhou Xiaojie back then.
At that time, Zhou Xiaojie was already a vicious and vicious person who had annihilated humanity and conscience, and you couldn't find any trace of weakness in him. There was only cruelty and madness left in those dark and terrifying eyes, and even normal people would be frightened and tremble when they saw his eyes, unable to move.
"yes, he'll be out in two years." Zhou Qinyi suddenly remembered that Lin Tianze had spoken Zhou Xiaojie's name, and then looked at Lin Tianze and said, "You should know Xiaojie, right?" ”
"Well, go on." Lin Tianze didn't dwell on this issue, of course he knew Zhou Xiaojie, and he probably couldn't forget it.
"I am different from Xiaojie, the qiē around me makes me feel strange and lonely, when the girls around me are discussing famous brands and singers, I can only bury my head under my arms, trying to isolate all the sounds, but the voice seems to become louder, and finally turns into crazy ridicule, and the voice makes me feel that I am an outlier among them, a shame for them." The memory of that time may be unforgettable enough, so that Zhou Qinyi can still remember the feelings at that time so clearly ten years later.
Zhou Qinyi looked at Lin Tianze and continued: "Gradually, I felt out of place with the people around me, and after two years of living like this, I suddenly thought of suicide! ”
Lin Tianze's hand suddenly clenched, and even pinched Zhou Qinyi in some pain, committing suicide! He was so sensitive to the word, even a little afraid. One of the tragic www.biquge.info of his last life was Zhou Qinyi's death.
Perhaps seeing Lin Tianze's fear and worry, Zhou Qinyi held Lin Tianze's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm still there?" ”
