Volume 1: Only One Encounter in a Lifetime Chapter 98: Ten Steps on the Road of Ten Years
"Ten years, ten years is a long time indeed."
Qin Xin raised his finger and tapped his chin, thoughtfully. Tie rubbed his hands together and said:
"You're about to finish the second decade of your life, and I'm already done with the second decade, and I'm about to finish the third decade."
"Hmm......"
Qin Xin pursed her mouth, put her palm on the back of her neck, and tilted her head to look at Tie Ming. Does she care about the gap between them? In terms of age and social class, it is a long journey between the two.
"It turns out that he is afraid that he will get old, this person."
Qin Xin secretly thought: I thought he thought he thought I was stupid and didn't like me, but it turned out that he thought he was old! It's fun. Teacher Song, Teacher Song, where are you old, a man in his thirties, just right! Mature and steady, and connotative taste. What do you think is good about a young man in his early twenties? They were kids, they didn't understand anything.
"I just like men who are mature and charming, with a bit of vicissitudes and a bit of sexiness. You said that you are carrying a heavy bag on your back and cannot go briskly. It's this bag, it's full of stories, making the journey heavy, plump and charming. ”
Thinking so, Qin Xin leisurely took the fork and played with the small tomatoes on the plate. It's not funny. Tie Ming had been watching her reaction. Her look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling confused herself.
Did she understand what she meant? Maybe I don't understand. ”
Tie Ming asked and answered himself.
"Qinxin, don't laugh at me, maybe when you reach my age, you will understand my worries."
"You, what do you do when you eat, and eat happily when you eat."
Qin Xin poured black pepper juice on the steak on Tie Ming's plate and smiled sweetly at him. This smile was like a sweet ice cream, and it melted Tie Ming's heart at once. Yes, the delicious present, the beauty is on the side, what are the worries to worry about?
"I have explained to her that I am not worthy of her, and I hope she can let go calmly and find her own happiness."
Tie Ming ate the steak poured with black pepper juice, his heart was a little bitter and sour, but the aftertaste was sweet.
The two finished the meal with a smile and a smile. When he went out, Tie Ming suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, was this meal the last supper? After eating this meal, Qin Xin quietly left like the colorful glow in the distant sky.
A wave of sadness tugged at his heart.
Looking at Qin Xin beside him, thinking about the time the two of them spent together, Tie Ming was suddenly very reluctant, and wanted to hug her tightly and say "cherish" to her.
The two walked side by side in the dark alley, and a faint breeze passed through them. Qin Xin couldn't help but shiver all over, it was so cold, the winter wind was an invisible sharp knife, scratching the skin and shaving off the ears.
Qin Xin subconsciously tightened his shoulders. A coat was draped over the shoulders, and the warmth instantly enveloped the body.
"Thank you."
Qin Xin turned his head and smiled gratefully at Tie Ming beside him.
"You still say it's not cold, you don't wear a coat, you can't block the wind."
Tie Ming is as caring as a big brother. Qin Xin can not wear a coat, walking in the cold alley and the wind blows, if it freezes, it's not good, this Nizi!
"Hey, hey."
Qin Xin didn't speak, only pursed his lips and smiled.
A dead leaf fell on her hair, and Qin Xin didn't notice it, still walking forward. Tie Ming called out to her, gently brushed her off the dead leaves, and the moment he touched her hair, his fingertips were cold.
"It's cold
Are you cold or not in your hair? ”
Qin Xin shook his head, Tie Ming took off his hood, put it on her, and said:
"Remember to wear a hat next time you go out."
This small action lights up a memory. Qin Xin waited for Tie Ming to straighten his hat and said:
"Do you remember that day, when you first came to Shanghai?"
"Huh?"
"That's how you take off your hat."
"Really?"
Qin Xin looked at Tie Ming and said:
"It turns out that you were hiding such a heavy concern that day."
Tie Ming walked silently behind her, silent.
"Actually, it's not just you, everyone has a wound in their hearts. The people in the mansion say how good Miss Lin's life is, but in fact, who knows, her mother is dead, and her father is often not around, is it a good life? ”
Qin Xin lowered his head and said:
"Sometimes, I envy Xiaoju, how happy she is to have her family to accompany her."
Tie Ming gently put his hand on Qinxin's shoulder and comforted her:
"You still have so many classmates and so many friends to accompany you."
Qin Xin shook his head helplessly and said:
"You are wrong, this kind of companionship and family affection are not the same, they cannot be compared. Can you understand? ”
Qin Xin looked at Tie Ming with infinite affection. Tie Ming nodded and said:
"Let's go home, your dad must be waiting for you at home."
The two walked through this narrow alley together.
Affection? It seems close at hand, yet unattainable. You and I have both lost and want to have again.
At night, Tie Ming lay on his back on the bed, looking at the ceiling in distraction.
"What can I give her?"
At first, Tie Ming thought that Qin Xin's feelings for him were just a girl's heartbeat, and this heartbeat had no fixed object, just curiosity about the opposite sex. Later, Qin Xin told him that he was not small, not a little girl, and the moment she grabbed his hand and put it on her chest, he understood that Qin Xin was a man and a woman to herself, and there was an element of love.
After the two of them exchanged heartfelt complaints tonight, they were honest and sad to Qinxin. Qin Xin also spoke his heart. Between the two, it has gone beyond simple and shallow likes, vulgar and salty love, and it is a heart-to-heart match.
You understand my heartache, and I understand your sorrow.
Tie Ming fell deeply in love with Qin Xin. Because she understands him.
"Is there still time to redeem it?"
Tie Ming jumped up from the bed, leaned through the window, and looked at the balcony that was blocked by a maple tree. It was late at night, and the balcony was shrouded in night. Qin Xin will not come out.
"I can't!"
Tie Ming got up in his clothes, wrote down a small note, and ran to the living room of the bungalow, just in time to meet Xiao Ju.
"Help me give this to Miss, I'll wait for her in Xue Mountain."
The next day, Tie Ming went out early in the morning, didn't drive, just walked alone with caries and walked up Xue Mountain.
A couple walked side by side, whispering and smiling, and when they passed by Tie Ming, the young man affectionately put his arm around the young woman's shoulder, and the young woman leaned on the shoulder of the male companion. Tie Ming lowered his hat and continued walking.
When I arrived at the mountainside, I saw a tree and a green tree towering to the sky, walking in the meantime, the cold wind shuttled back and forth, following the footsteps of the lonely man,
It makes people colder. Tie Ming's black leather shoes stepped all the way, crushing the scorched yellow leaves on the ground, making a crisp sound.
There was a stone floor in front of him, and there was a round stone table with four small stone piers underneath.
No one stopped here to rest, more and more set off the quiet and ethereal here, who on the stone table had sat here, or talked and laughed, or drank tea, can only be imagined.
Tie Ming walked over, stepped on the moss on a stone slab, sat down, took out a cigarette case, took out one, saw the fallen leaves all over the ground, stopped smoking again, only put his arms on the stone table, clasped his hands, turned his thumb, and thought about his thoughts.
Qingtong Forest, the treetops in the air with the wind touch endlessly, "rustling" like the whisper between lovers, but this sweet whisper, soft and sweet, only two people who love each other can understand, because this is the unique language between lovers, only with the heart can communicate, listen...... Tie Ming closed his eyes and listened for a long time, then bowed his head helplessly, got up and left.
Xue Mountain is not high, and after half a cup of tea, Tie Ming reached the top of the mountain. It has a wide view and a unique view. The afterglow of the setting sun is quietly sprinkled, and the golden light spreads on the ground.
In the meantime, it is as wonderful as the fairy palace. What's even more peculiar is that the iron chain on the top of the cliff is hung with all kinds of concentric locks, which emit a dazzling golden light under the light of the setting sun, reflecting the burning heart of the lover. The red ribbon fluttered and swayed, invisibly stumbling on the feet of a pair of lovers.
People who are destined to meet each other all the time, no matter how far apart they are, how many years apart.
The couple had just arrived, holding hands and happily tying a concentric lock on the chain. The two put their hands together and made a wish to the mountains in the distance, the female companion opened her eyes, glanced at the male companion beside her, and jokingly pulled his scarf, the male companion opened his eyes, and the two laughed and walked away.
"Sir, buy a concentric lock, you don't need money to engrave your name."
An old woman who sold locks greeted Tie Ming, and she sat on a small stool made of bamboo, with a large square scarf spread out in front of her, which was filled with a variety of concentric locks, and a small silversmith's lettering machine beside her.
Tie Ming squatted down, saw that the concentric locks were all delicate and chic, picked up one and turned it in his hand to look at it, thinking that Qin Xin must like this kind of gadget, so he bought one for her to play with, so he took out his wallet.
"Sir, write your name on paper, a pair of names don't cost money, and then engrave a wishful word, a word and a corner."
"Oh no, no lettering."
The old woman was puzzled, and she didn't ask much, she helped Tie Ming unlock the lock, and said with a kind smile:
"The concentric lock needs two people to tie it together to be effective."
Tie Ming smiled, said nothing, thanked the old woman, put the lock and key in the hidden pocket of the suit, and walked down the steps, with a lot of thoughts: Qin Xin is a good girl, do you want to bless her or receive blessings with her? This concentric lock, is it to be given or kept?
Who is she in my life, and who am I going to be in her life?
The sunset has changed color, just now it was still the light of the Buddha, but at this moment it turned pink, or it was the sunset, the pink sunset, it was so beautiful! Just like the lovely pink on Qin Xin's face, the clouds will also be shy, just like a girl. When you are in a good mood, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and when you are in a bad mood, the clouds are thick and you are holding back tears.
And the mountains in the distance, handsome and cold, are always a hard face, and they don't understand Yunxin.
When turning a corner, Tie Ming touched his face that was blown cold by the wind, lowered his head and continued to walk, put his hands into his coat pockets, and when he pulled out his hand again, he accidentally brought out the leather gloves stuffed in his coat pocket.
Who is it......
