This riverside
Qiao Jin saw the obvious hesitation on Qiao Hua's face. It's rare to be smart. Suddenly I realized Qiao Hua's deeper meaning. Immediately grabbed his sleeve and promised, "Dad. I know. I know you're worried about Shen Gongzi's attitude towards us. I also know that Shen Gongzi's behavior seems to be very unfriendly to our family. But Dad, think about it. It's the first time we've met Shen Gongzi. Why would he be so unkind to our family? You see, why didn't he see the slightest bit of affection for Wang Shenzhi and Lin Shi."
Qiao Hua really lowered his head as Qiao Jin imagined. He did think about Qiao Jin's words seriously. Because this time her words are reasonable. And it's exactly what Qiao Hua hasn't understood. Rich children like Shen Mo are all taught good manners. You won't be so merciless to someone you're meeting for the first time. Unless. He's heard something about it.
Qiao Hua raised his head when he thought of this. looked at Qiao Jin, who was staring at him nervously and expectantly. Said word by word: "Jin'er. Go on."
Qiao Jin saw that Qiao Hua really listened to her words. I can't help but be overjoyed. Approaching Qiao Hua, he analyzed seriously: "Dad. It was easy to see that Qiao Yi was chewing on the root of his tongue in front of him. You've just seen them so close. It can be seen that the relationship is indeed not shallow. Qiao Yi's words will be believed by a few points no matter what. That's why I don't like us so much when we meet for the first time."
Qiao Hua nodded. looked Qiao Jin up and down seriously. Qiao Jin is indeed one of the best beauties in the portal of relatives and friends. Although Shen Mo is a rich son, what kind of beauty has never been seen. But it's not impossible to use some means. I'm just afraid I'll have to think it through.
Qiao Hua patted Qiao Jin on the shoulder. In a reassuring tone, he said, "Okay. I know you like him. Case. I'll be proud of you. Just this time for us. Is sure to think of the complete method. Be sure to make Shen Gongzi like you. Otherwise. It's really a loss for my wife and a soldier."
Qiao Jin heard Qiao Hua answer himself. That's when I was happy. He just sat upright and said, "I know daddy. You can rest assured. Whatever you say, I'll do it. I'll definitely listen to you. Let Shen Gongzi like me." Qiao Jin couldn't help but smile proudly when he thought about it. As long as you can get Shen Gongzi's blue eyes in the future. I'm really a human being.
On the other side, Qiao Yi followed Shen Mo's side and slowly walked out of the street. There are also some vendors on the street with lanterns. Lights up the steaming noisy streets. The two men were speechless for a moment. Just walk along the street step by step. Seems aimless. It's like you've already figured out where you want to go. Success will come when conditions are ripe.. After street after street. Walk along a long forest path. The line of sight suddenly cleared.
Shen Mo and Qiao Yi stopped walking. In front of them is a river that is rushing secretly. On such a night such a moon sparkling. It's beautiful. Qiao Yan curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "What a good place. I didn't know there would be such a rushing river here." After saying that, he sat down on the grass by himself.
Shen Mo lowered his head and only saw her hair and a side face. He also sat down with a basket of clothes. Look at the endless river on the other side. His eyes were dyed with infinite sorrow. He asked in a deep voice, "If you say that the beautiful scenery is excellent here. But nowhere else."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the infinitely extended end of the river and asked, "You don't feel that it is against us when you look at the river. There was no hint of hesitation to turn back. You know where this river will lead."
Qiao Yi stared at Shen Mo's fingertips tightly. Then he slowly moved to the place where the river was rushing and never looked back. He frowned and said, "I know. This river will lead to a place with boats. And that place is called Far Away. The river is rushing endlessly. The ship is speeding with the wind. But in a moment, there will be no trace of it again."
Shen Mo smiled and nodded. Slowly lowered his hand and seemed to whisper, "Yes. That place is far away. It is so far that you need to cross thousands of rivers and mountains to reach it. And this place will become a memory. Maybe it's good, maybe it's ugly. It's just that these memories will never be recovered."
Qiao Yi laughed softly. In Shen Mo's puzzled gaze, he said, "But for the distant ship. We've become far away here. Here are the memories. Those who are reluctant to say goodbye in this place. No one can replace it. As long as the people who take the boat have this place in their hearts. This riverside is the place where the world can no longer be parted with."
Shen Mo smiled and nodded. One eyebrow and one eye, delicate in the moonlight, not like a mortal. He looked at Qiao Yan's eyes overflowing with smiles. He asked casually, "Have you ever been to a distant place? If you're going to go far away now. Will you ever come back?"
Qiao Yi listened to this question, and looked at Shen Mo's eyes with some confusion. Keep an eye on it. I want to find something strange in it. From that full smile, I want to find a trace of sorrow. Qiao Yi looked at his slender and clean fingers in the moonlight. The fingertips seemed to be quivering slightly. It's so indistinct in the moonlight. made Qiao Yan's eyes suddenly a little sour.
Qiao Yi turned his head to look at the twisted moonlight in the river. The sourness in the eyes is pushed back little by little. Only then did he whisper, "I've been far away. For me. Every place here is far away. If one day. I must go to another, more distant place. I'll definitely be back. Because here. This far away. There are people I care about. People who can't be given up cleanly no matter what. So I know. No matter where my steps go. My heart will definitely push me back."
Shen Mo looked at the unexpected firmness on Qiao Yan's face. Slowly clenched the hand at his side. He asked in a clean voice, "What if you can't come back?" Everything is holding you back. Make it difficult for you to move an inch. You're going to have to give up."
Qiao Yan shook his head without the slightest hesitation: "All the obstacles are trapped by my steps. Can't trap my heart. Whenever I want to come back. year. Decade. Twenty years. Always coming back. What could be a hard time to get."
Shen Mo looked at the bright smile on Qiao Yan's face. I only feel touched in my heart. Her persistence made him feel that he could persevere. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise. The voice was much softer: "yes. As long as the heart wants to come back. What's so hard to find yourself?"
Qiao Yi looked at Shen Mo with a smile. He asked thoughtfully, "What's wrong?" How did I remember to come here. Do you have anything on your mind?"
Shen Mo heard Qiao Yan's question. For a while, I just felt that all the words rushed to my throat. I almost blurted it out. But he still shook his head sensibly at that moment: "It's nothing. I just wanted to show you. You've never been to this riverside. There have been so many separations and reunions here. Have you ever thought about one day? You're going to say goodbye here, too."
The pupils in Qiao Yi's drooping eyes suddenly constricted. She got it. Until Shen Mo asked this sentence. She finally confirmed the doubts in her heart. He's leaving. That's why I brought myself here today. Tomorrow he will be here like those people. Departed in a boat. I just don't know if he'll ever come back.
Qiao Yu didn't lift his lowered head. It's just that his fingers clenched his sleeves, and his voice was slightly imperceptible, and he said tremblingly: "I didn't think about it before. But I'm not sure. Because saying goodbye will be a separation. Separation, however, does not necessarily come together. How many people have left here. I'm afraid there are very few who have returned. Since it won't come back. Why bother to say goodbye? It's just a matter of sadness."
Shen Mo stared at Qiao Yi tightly. Gently stretched out his hand. He wanted to touch Qiao Yan's hair. But it only stayed in mid-air. I put it down helplessly. His eyes looked helplessly at the place where he couldn't see clearly. He said in a clean voice, "There are a lot of people leaving here. However, only a few have returned. That's probably because they don't care about it. Or maybe it's a loss compared to the bustling Kyoto in the outside world. That's why there are so many people who have not returned. I haven't heard from him since."
Qiao Yan raised his head. Looking at the trace of melancholy that finally appeared on Shen Mo's face. He asked softly, tentatively, "What about you. You have concerns. If yes. What are your concerns here. How important is your concern? Can you keep your heart here forever?"
Shen Mo looked at the inquiring meaning on Qiao Yan's face. Closed his eyes slightly. Cover up all the reluctant love one by one. Only then did he sigh and said in a deep voice: "Yes. Here are my deepest and most important concerns. It's enough for me to stay here and give up everything. The bustling Kyoto in the distance cannot be compared to this concern. Because. This concern is the last thing I can give up and can't give up."
Qiao Yan furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. looked at Shen Mo's eyebrows. With some whimpering, he asked, "Then your concern. What is it?"
Shen Mo laughed. The upturned corners of his mouth wiped away all his worries. The eyes seemed to brighten, too. The deep contour lines are also softened and softened. He didn't answer right away. Instead, he lowered his head and put his hand inside the shirt on his chest. I took out a pink-colored fragrant purse from it. It was an acacia purse. I just didn't expect him to carry it all the time.
Shen Mo took the purse in his hand and seemed to caress it twice. Silently watching. After a while, he smiled and handed it to Qiao Yi beside him: "All my concerns. It's all in this purse."
