Chapter 009: Love is a superstition that is right at the right time

"Shen Yiyi, wait a minute!" Xu Zhekai's voice sounded behind him.

I turned around and watched him walk briskly, the snowflakes in the sky became the background behind him, Shen Yiyi, are you stupid, so good... You can't bear to refuse the boys you watch.

"Shen Yiyi, buying and selling is not benevolent, it's okay to be a friend?" He looked relaxed and even a little hippie when he said this, but as far as I knew him, he was as proud as he was, and this request for second place was difficult for him to say.

"Of course, no matter how you say it, it's a friendship that has quarreled together." I couldn't bear to refuse him any longer.

He smiled, "It's snowing heavily, find a café to sit in." ”

We found a window seat at a café on a street corner on Fifth Avenue and sat down. The café has a great view, with a window looking out of the window of the historic bungalows and the street where the occasional horse-drawn carriage passes by.

"Shen Yiyi, do you like Liu Ruoying very much?" Xu Zhekai took a sip of American style and asked me.

"Fortunately, I think she is very special, and some of the lyrics of her songs also move me a lot."

"Have you watched her and Huang Lei's "Years Like Water"?"

Xu Zhekai's question made my hand freeze as I was about to pick up the coffee cup.

In "Years Like Water", we once snuggled up in the corner of a café in another time and space, staring at our laptops, sharing a pair of headphones, and watched the whole show. I still remember that I cried when I kissed Wen silently at the end, not crying with joy, but sad, outright sadness. I once asked Xu Zhekai, "Do you think this is the best ending for the three people?" Do you think Wen is love? Is Wen Yingying love? What do you think love is? ”

Xu Zhekai laughed at me for asking a lot of questions, while seriously thinking about the answer, I still remember his answer: "I think Wen and Ying are the same person, one is not satisfied with the restlessness of the big city, the other is not worried about the peace of the town, they are complete on the day they meet, they just found the other half of themselves, not necessarily love." In the end, Wen chose to be silent because he found that he could never control the other half of himself, and choosing silence was a renunciation and a compromise to himself. ”

I remember laughing at him at the time that this is a philosopher's thinking, how can love and not love be so complicated, but time has passed, and now I finally understand what it means to give up, what it means to retreat to second, and what it means to have a heart like ashes.

"What's wrong? Feeling uncomfortable? Seeing that I was stunned for a long time and didn't answer, Xu Zhekai was a little puzzled.

"No, I just suddenly remembered that I had also talked to someone about "Years Like Water", he said that Wen and Ying are two sides of a person, tearing each other apart, eager to integrate, but in the end they couldn't reconcile their contradictions, so they gave up what they most desired and couldn't live the most.

"Oh? This coincides with my thoughts, who is that person? Xu Zhekai was quite surprised.

"Really? Maybe it was your past life. I smiled.

He couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Our philosophy department doesn't believe in the reincarnation of past and present lives. ”

"Do you believe in crossing?" I asked him bluntly.

"Wear... Through? Go to the Qing Dynasty, the kind of domineering brother who fell in love with me? Shen Yiyi, I didn't expect you to watch those? Hahaha! I thought you were so cold! He laughed almost out of breath.

"Get out of the way!" I stretched out my foot and kicked his long leg under the table.

Sure enough, who will believe it when it comes to this?

After a talk in the café, the awkward relationship between me and Xu Zhekai has eased a lot, at least I don't have to deliberately face each other coldly, too, what's wrong with him now? What's so bad about being a good friend?

It was almost time for the group to meet, and Xu Zhekai and I left the café and headed to the stadium where the concert was held. When I arrived, the others had been waiting for a while, Xiao Ru glanced back and forth on my and Xu Zhekai's faces, leaned over to me, and said mysteriously: "Shen Yiyi, you two have a situation." I smiled and pushed her back into Jiang An's arms, and said to Jiang An, "Take care of your insider, be careful of being strangled to death by me." Everyone laughed. While I was playing, the staff began to notify the ticket inspectors to enter.

New Year's Eve, there are a lot of people, and it is a little crowded when entering, Xu Zhekai has been walking behind me, and when we were together in the past, he often walked behind me in crowded places to protect me, afraid that I would be squeezed out. I couldn't look back at his expression, I just sighed heavily in my heart, and a corner of my heart hurt for myself, for myself and for him.

We bought our tickets late, so the seats were relatively late, but it didn't stop us from listening to the songs. The venue was noisy, and it didn't take long for the concert to begin.

With the music of "Crazy for Love", Milk Tea appeared in the center of the stage in a white dress, and cheers suddenly rang out in the venue, and then it turned into a chorus, "I want to ask if you dare, love me like you said......" Hearing this, I finally couldn't hold back, and tears came out of my eyes.

Although I have been to Rene Liu's concerts several times in another time and space, for some reason, this time I was unable to control my emotions. The moment I wiped away my tears with the back of my hand, I felt that Xu Zhekai was staring at me, I turned my head to look at him, I didn't expect Xu Zhekai to laugh very happily, I couldn't help but look angrily, in the chaotic background, he leaned down and shouted in my ear: "Shen Yiyi, you are so funny!" "I ...... Speechless, I can only kick again.

One after another familiar songs were sung, and the atmosphere in the venue became more and more enthusiastic, I looked around at my friends, Jiang An took Xiaoru in his arms, and Xiaoru's delicate and delicate became more and more visible, and the two sometimes sang and sometimes looked at each other sweetly, "Go on like this, you will be very happy and happy" I said silently in my heart. Yu Han and Li Ran, the pair of living treasures, actually raised their arms, clasped their hands together, and waved left and right, stunned to see the concert The feeling of the ball game, and really wanted to send a horn and a small red flag to each of them. Liu Jia sings happily alone, and joins Yu Han's cheerleading team from time to time, which is really embarrassing. Only Xu Zhekai beside me, always quietly, smiling and listening to the song, I can feel that occasionally his eyes will turn from the stage to my face, occasionally I will look at him, then I can see his smile deeper, when he smiled, my heart was messed up, simply sang along with it, no longer looking at him.

Finally, the prelude to my favorite "So You're Still Here" sounded. In the past, I loved this song, just because of its melody, its lyrics have a sense of the vastness of the past and present lives, hearing it can always be associated with the picture of the desert and yellow sand like "Journey to the West", but now when I hear it again, I feel that this is a commentary on the past of me and Xu Zhekai.

"The things that should be concealed are always clear, a thousand words can only be speechless, love is a superstition at the right time and place, it turns out that you are also here. That person, does it only exist in dreams, why do I use all my strength, but in exchange for half a lifetime of memories, if it weren't for your longing for eyes, if it weren't for my redemption mood, meet in thousands of mountains and rivers, it turns out that you are also here......"

Yes, the things that should be hidden are always so clear, after going around for ten years, I came to Xu Zhekai's world again in this way, and the person I once loved, resented, and wanted to forget but couldn't forget, will still appear in my life in another way. I crossed the ten-year time limit in such a fantastical way, and came here, and the heavens played such a ridiculous joke on me, that I could feel the god of fate gloating over my head to see how I could handle this one-man cycle.

Yes, a person's reincarnation, Xu Zhekai didn't know what happened from beginning to end, he just lived his green and carefree college life in this time and space, with a radiant present and a bright future, and I broke into his life again by mistake, if, without this crossing, what kind of girl would he meet in this time and space? Or maybe he will be with Ji Yang naturally. In the final analysis, it's just that I disturbed his life, but I want to get out of it, Shen Yiyi, you are really cruel.

Before I knew it, the more than four-hour concert was coming to an end, and the last song was the classic "Later". "Later, I finally learned how to love, but unfortunately you are long gone, disappearing into the sea of people. Later, I finally understood in tears that some people are no longer there once they miss it. ”

In that time and space, Xu Zhekai and I did not have a future, although his later almost belonged to me and Ji Yang, but in the end I don't know who it belonged to. And here, I had another chance to participate in his later years, but I avoided it, in the final analysis, I was just afraid that history would repeat itself. But God has given me another chance, is it just for me to miss it again? Shen Yiyi, are you really willing? Is the error of time and space just to make you duplicitous and unloved? Are you really not in love?

In the coercion of the exit crowd, my heart was as chaotic as the crowd in front of me, thinking about the past in a trance, questioning myself, accidentally being hit by a person who rushed out of the side, and when I almost fell, I was taken into arms by a pair of powerful arms, a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar breath enveloped me, turned my head to meet Xu Zhekai's worried gaze, the moment I looked at each other, my tears flowed down, and I suddenly felt very aggrieved, what am I pretentious after refusing for so long, obviously I love very much, Why do you have to push away when you have the opportunity to hug again? God gave me such an incredible reincarnation, maybe it was for me to make up for my regrets in another time and space, and besides, the worst ending is just a repetition of history, how bad can it be?

I have no reason to push away the lover next to me who has made me unforgettable.

It was close to midnight when we came out of the stadium, and there was a huge clock in the square outside the stadium, and many people who had listened to the concert gathered here to wait for the New Year's countdown, and a group of us were no exception. For young children, the countdown to the New Year together is as solemn as a long century together.

The year 2007 is coming to an end, and 2008 is just around the corner. In 2008, the year of severe pain, rebirth, and glory that the whole country experienced in memory is finally coming again. I turned my head to look at Xu Zhekai beside me, he was looking at the clock seriously, I don't know what he was thinking at this time. I made an important decision before the clock struck zero, I took out my phone, carefully edited a text message, and sent it.

"Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One! ”

"Bell ---- Bell -----"

"Happy New Year!"

Accompanied by the countdown sound of the surrounding crowd and the bell at zero o'clock, Xu Zhekai's mobile phone screen lit up. I smiled and looked at him as he flipped through the text messages. His expression changed from stunned to smiling, then he looked back at me with a childlike grin, and at the same time opened his arms to me, and I plunged headlong into the arms that I was, were, and would be very attached to in the midst of the exclamations and coaxes of Xiaoru and the others.

"I understand your love at first sight, because I am too. In the future, I hope that the people around me will always be you, together! ”

The first text message of the new year lies quietly in my outbox and Xu Zhekai's inbox, new year, new atmosphere!
