Chapter 7: The Three-Year Covenant
"Alright, I'll go change my clothes and go. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" After saying that, Xi Rui went back to the bedroom.
It didn't take long for Xi Rui, dressed in casual clothes, to come out of the room. Without too much dressing up, and without heavy makeup, Xirui is so simple, natural, but so beautiful. She didn't speak, just smiled at me and signaled that she was ready to go. So, we went downstairs and started our trip for the day.
"Actually, there is no destination for today's trip." Cirry looked at me and said.
"There are always a few trips that don't need a destination, just the courage to set off and the motivation to keep moving forward." With that, I got on my motorcycle, and Ciri sat in the back seat.
"I've lived in the city for a long time, but I haven't really learned about it. I wanted to take a look at the scenery I hadn't seen before I left the city, and walk around places I hadn't seen before. There was a hint of sadness in Xirui's tone.
"The city is so big and we are so small. Even if we are familiar with every street, every street lamp, every snack in the city, we don't know a city. Cities are always changing, and we don't have so much time and energy to feel the changes in a city, we are all busy with our lives, going to school, going to work, making friends, and falling in love. Only when you occasionally calm down, will you find that everything around you has already changed. "I was like saying to Ciri, and I was talking to myself.
I didn't ask Ciri which way to go, nor did I look at the map where she was going. Just by feeling, walking on a certain road in the city. Xi Rui didn't say anything more, just looked at the scenery by the roadside. Although the scenery on the side of the road is not all so beautiful, every brick and tile is a wonderful part of the city.
"How did you suddenly become so sad after a good trip?" I laughed.
"It's a sad trip, it's also good!" After saying that, Xi Rui also smiled.
"What about you? After this summer, will you also leave a familiar city for an unfamiliar city? Cirry asked me.
"Well, it's been a long time coming."
"For a long time? Half a year? Or a year. ”
"I don't know, maybe two years, maybe longer."
"Why did you leave for so long?"
"I thought I should hone myself, so I decided to join the army, and after this vacation, I would go to the army."
"If I were a boy, I would have enlisted."
"Where are you going to college?"
"Beijing."
"Which university?"
"Chinese People's Public Security University."
"Be a cop?"
"yes!"
"That must be a police flower."
Instead of speaking, she pinched me on the back.
"Life in the police academy should be very hard, and it is better for girls to study art."
"I want to be a policeman and maintain world peace!" Xi Rui said proudly.
"Well, the responsibility of maintaining world peace is entrusted to you."
That's it, you say a word, and Xirui and I walk through the streets of the city. People in the city are busy and living their own lives, and no one cares about anyone's life, and no one cares about how others are doing. However, it is these seemingly unrelated people who merge together to weave the prosperity of a city and carry the memories of everything that Xirui has for the city. Most of the people in the city don't know Xirui, and most of the things have nothing to do with Xirui. But Xirui is still full of nostalgia for the city.
"Gu Cheng."
"Huh?"
"Do you say, is it better to live in the same city or to live in many different cities in a person's life?"
"When you meet a person with a white head, choose a city to grow old."
"So, do you think it's better to live in the same city?"
"When we meet a person with a white head, we keep moving forward, and we keep meeting, and before we meet the right person, we may stop for some people until we meet the person with a white head; And after we have experienced the ups and downs of life, we will understand where is the right place for us, which city is the right place, and we can choose a city to grow old. ”
"So, the city we have lived in for many years may not be suitable for us, so we can't stop because we are nostalgic for the past, but we have to keep looking for and finally choose a city that suits us, right?"
"That's right, it's like looking for a lover, it's not like you've been in love for many years, it's the most suitable, only by following your inner feelings, looking for it, and choosing it, you will find the person you love the most." After saying that, I sighed softly.
"What's wrong? Why do you sigh when it comes to lovers? Cirry asked me.
"No, I don't know, how to go forward; Therefore, you and I are always living backwards. ”
"Looks like you still have a sad past!" After saying that, Xi Rui sighed softly.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xi Rui said again, "Can you tell me about your sad past?"
"Now, I can't talk about that past calmly, and I'll tell you when I have a chance in the future!"
Xi Rui didn't say anything more, and from the rearview mirror, I could see her beautiful face, with a hint of melancholy. The sun shines on the earth, the breeze blows on the face, and it can be regarded as a good memory in life to have such a trip.
"Let's go to the beach!" Ciri said to me.
"By the sea?"
"Well, the seaside where we met."
"Okay." I didn't ask much, I didn't say much, I just said yes, and then went to the beach with him.
It wasn't long before Ciri and I arrived at the beach, and the scenery was still beautiful.
"Whenever I feel lonely, I come here, and I hope that one day, I will meet someone I like." Xi Rui looked into the distance, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Did you meet it?" I asked Xirui.
"I don't know, I don't know if he's my crush, I don't know if I've met him."
"Oh. It seems that you are not sure whether the person you are waiting for is him. ”
"Yes." Xi Rui looked back at me and said, "In ancient times, once people parted, it was difficult to find each other again, so people always agreed to meet again in a certain place. Once the appointed time is missed, or the place no longer exists, it is difficult for people to meet again, and they drown each other in the vast sea of people. ”
Every day after the agreement, they will miss each other, hide each other in their hearts, and wait for the agreed period to come. Even if there are difficulties and obstacles, they will go to the meeting place without hesitation. Because, they cherish their vows to each other. Is that right? Cirry. ”
"Gu Cheng, in three years, I will wait for you here." With that, she turned away, not waiting for my answer or looking back. And I can only watch her departing back. Elegant and resolute back.
