Chapter 29: I owe you the next life
"Before you go, do you want to see somewhere, the beach? I'll take you there. ”
Walking in the night, we held hands, it was cold, but no one was in a hurry to go home.
"Don't want it at the beach, at this time, the sea breeze is too cool." Su Xin seems to be deliberately avoiding going to the beach with me.
I knew in my heart that I used to want to take her to the place I was most looking forward to, but now I don't want to go, because I am afraid of arousing the desolation in my heart, it is better to hide it in my heart and keep this expectation for a lifetime as a happy thought.
"Take me on the Ferris wheel, and I can see the city one last time." She smiled and said the last, parting day, which she had already remembered in her heart.
"Okay."
In December, it was already winter, and I wasn't sure if the Ferris wheel would open, so the two of us happily rushed to our destination in the bright lights of the night.
Fortunately, because it has not snowed for a long time, the Ferris wheel is open normally, and I can complete Su Xin's last request, but unfortunately, because of the delay in snowing, the wish to build a snowman with her has not yet been fulfilled.
I prayed to the heavens for a quick snowfall, and I didn't want to regret leaving in the end.
"Wow, it's so high, you see, it's supposed to be the Marina Square, we see the sea." Sitting in the Ferris wheel, Su Xin seemed very happy and excited, pulling me to point to the dark sea, flashing with dazzling silver light, the stars are dense, and the sea and the sky meet.
We saw the sea, it turned out that I took her to see the sea in this way, just like the thoughts left in her heart, far away, unreachable, beautiful enough, enough to expect.
She grabbed my arm, looked at the ground farther and farther away with deep eyes, and said calmly: "An An, this is the last place for me and you, the last memory, I want to remember this city." ”
My heart is filled with bitterness, how priceless the memory is, for fear that the years will be blurred and scattered in old age.
"I will also remember the spring, summer, autumn and winter under the big tree, remember the years of growing up together, and remember the pink girl, she stretched out her hand to me and told me that her name is Su Xin." My eyes were a little blurry, and the lights under my feet were brilliant, and it seemed that I couldn't see clearly, and I could only see the people in front of me.
"Fool, why do you remember so clearly, aren't you afraid that you will be too sad to think of me?" Su Xin slowly stood opposite me, wiping my blurred vision, but she left two horizontal tears, and choked affectionately: "Don't remember so clearly, don't tell me this...... I, I will be reluctant to you! ”
Finally unable to restrain her emotions, she threw herself into my arms, crying, she pretended to be calm for too long, and finally as parting approached, she couldn't bear the last countdown.
There is no fate, there is no name, there is no name, there is no life, I owe her too much step by step, and finally I personally sent her away, how cruel I was to her.
"I can't bear you either." I hugged her tightly, feeling indebted and irreparable.
"Don't say it...... Don't say reluctant. She rubbed herself in my arms and shook her head sadly.
"Okay, I won't say it."
It was the coldest winter I've ever had, and it didn't snow.
I sat on the Ferris wheel over and over again, so that she could see the city under her eyes clearly, remember it deeply in her mind, and remember this last place.
Walking out of the Ferris wheel, our hands and feet were a little numb from the cold, wiping the tears on each other's faces, laughing stupidly, laughing with tears.
On the night of the last indulgence, we were not in a hurry to go home, as if this was the time that truly belonged to us, and as before, we only dared to love each other in the middle of the night.
At night, the snack street is very lively, even in winter, people still come and go, and every house is full of heat, and people are warm up when they walk here.
"Well, this squid is much more delicious than the one we ate when we were young." I rubbed the oil from the corner of her mouth.
She took a bite with a smile on her face, raised her mouth and stood on tiptoe: "You can taste it too." ”
I lowered my head, mouth to mouth, and one of them bit halfway.
"In the past, I wasn't allowed to eat these at night, for fear of affecting my body." She tastes happily from house to house, and doesn't care if it's greasy or unbearable.
"Like these snacks?" I asked.
"I like it."
"Since then, the two of us have opened a snack bar, a mom-and-pop shop, to make a little money every day, and go home at night to warm the bed." I'm serious.
She was amused by me: "Okay, this is what you said, in the next life, the two of us will be born by the sea, be childhood sweethearts by the sea, you can take me to see the sea every day, take me to catch fish, get married, open a snack bar, make squid, this is delicious." ”
The expectations that can never be realized, but they are as real as they are, and her happy eyebrows and eyes are full of happiness.
I nodded heavily, she kissed me, and said mischievously: "Remember, this is what you promised me, and the next life will be mine!" ”
In this coldest winter, the two of us, hugging each other, traveled all over the snack street, promised to live this next life, and smiled warmly.
"Look at you, the scarves you eat are dirty, I'll wash them for you when you go back." She was disgusted and concerned, and I shook my head: "No, I want to wash it for you once." ”
"What are you washing, my clothes are clean."
"Then even your people will wash it together." I picked her up by the waist, and she giggled, pushed my head, and said shyly, "I'm not going to take a shower with you." ”
"I can't help you."
After laughing and ending the night, I got into the taxi with Su Xin in my arms and went home together.
It was late at night when we got home, my sister had already slept, and the two of us tiptoed off our shoes, quietly ran back to the bedroom, closed the door and giggled.
Only the two of us can understand that this is too much like what we used to be, and every time we come back from the mountains, we have to sneak back into the house so secretly, too skilled and too familiar.
"I remember once, when the two of us went back, you lost all my underwear and couldn't find it, and then Sister Xiyan found out that I was missing clothes, and I explained that it was stolen after washing, hahaha." She smiled and recalled the past, and I held her cold little hand, bitter and sweet in my heart.
"I hate it, I said I lost my underwear, why are you taking off my clothes."
"Let's take a shower."
"My sister is asleep, let's not wake her up."
"So you have to be quiet, and give up resistance."
In the bathroom, there was a white mist of warm water, and the two most familiar people, laughing and playing, I wanted to leave too many memories of the first time to her, and all her memories were only me.
The slapstick slowly became quiet, and the atmosphere became ambiguous and loved with the water temperature.
Ten minutes later, Su Xin was lazily wrapped in a bath towel and carried back to the bedroom, her face was ruddy, her body was full of heat, and her skin turned pink, as if she had seen a little girl who was once pink.
"Scoundrels, it's not honest to take a bath." Her long, dripping hair was on my chest.
"You've known I've been a hooligan for a long time, not now." I asked her to lie down and slowly wipe her long hair, which was too long for water to wipe off.
"The rascal's gift to me, is to take a bath together?" She kicked her little feet mischievously and looked back at me.
"You want to see the gift now? I'm going to send you away, when I'm going to hand it over to you. "I've got a gift ready for me.
"No, I'm going to look at it now." She pouted coquettishly.
Of course I will satisfy her, I want to satisfy her with everything.
I immediately got out of bed, took out a box from the drawer, and handed it to Su Xin, she opened it curiously, and was stunned for a moment.
"Huh? What is it? Wood? Tree? She looked at me in surprise, and I nodded, "yes, it's the tree that belongs to both of us." ”
This is a delicate wood carving, carved is a tree that I am familiar with in my dreams, and the person with such craftsmanship is Rao Beitian, I asked him to help me carve it.
"Huh? There are also two small children under the tree. She was pleasantly surprised by my explanation, and carefully observed every part of the wood carving.
Two children under the tree, the girl with waist-length hair, leaned behind the boy, while the boy was back to back and holding a musical instrument, the flute, in his hand.
"An An, this is ...... The two of us? She was pleasantly surprised, her eyes were moist, and I knew that she was soft-hearted and too easily moved.
"Guess what I was blowing about?" I held her in my arms, and she ignored the towel on her lap and looked at the sculpture carefully: "You've only played me one tune, of course I know." ”
"So, the two people under this tree, too." I gently flicked the switch underneath the engraving.
The familiar and mournful prelude sounded, and the sound of the flute was low, playing "My Heart is Eternal".
The familiar melody, the melody that will be remembered for a lifetime, the moment it sounded, the person in her arms trembled obviously, and the hand holding the sculpture was also shaking excitedly, she didn't dare to look back, her eyes might be moist.
That's right, this sculpture has a CD player hidden in it, and the workmanship is not complicated, but the CD was recorded by me myself, with a flute.
I hope that this song, this big tree, the two people under the tree, all the memories of this scene will always be with her, and the vivid restoration, and the familiar music, as if reproducing the picture of our past.
"An An...... I love this gift. Her voice was calm, and she leaned against me calmly, staring blankly at the two men under the tree.
"And what gift did you have for me?" I stroked her round shoulder, not wanting to upset the atmosphere, and laughed and begged for a present.
"I'll keep it a secret."
I knew in my heart that Su Xin would definitely prepare separate gifts, maybe more than one.
"Guess what?"
"Shh
She suddenly stopped my mouth, just lay quietly in my arms, did not look back, I could not see her expression, in the room, but echoed the music I played myself, representing me and her music, we can not be eternal, even short-lived, just like the hero and heroine in the movie, looking forward to the eternity of the heart and the heart.
Finally, I heard the sobbing, she sobbed in a low voice, and hurriedly put the gift back in the box, and suddenly cried in embarrassment, unable to stop the tears: "I don't listen anymore, there are still a long days to listen slowly." ”
"Su Xin......" I instantly burst into tears in the corners of my eyes.
"An An, tonight, love me so much!"
