I later learned that Amanda was a local guide. She told me that in recent years, there have been more and more Chinese in India, especially backpackers, so she changed careers and opened an inn with Ouyang Jing.

It suddenly occurred to me that when Situ Nan came here, he also found a guide, and he complained to me on the phone that the other party's Indian English was too tricky, and it was very difficult to communicate.

I lowered my eyes to her, "Do you remember the Indian Ocean tsunami three years ago?" ”

Amanda's face showed a sad and painful expression. I learned that she had lost her parents in that disaster.

"I'm sorry," I snapped guilty, "I just ...... Sorry for my ...... An old man, who was once killed here, and there are very few Chinese here, so ......"

"It doesn't matter," she shook her head, "it's going to pass." ”

After Amanda and Ouyang Jing left, I returned to the room in a trance, and couldn't help but take out the postcard that Situ Nan wrote to me back then.

I opened the tin box, flipped through one by one, and suddenly froze, there was a postcard, he babbled a lot of words, and then added, my local guide is called Amanda, and your English name is the same, I think it is also the fate between us, walking thousands of miles away will think of you.

I covered my mouth, grabbed the door, flagged down a taxi, and went straight to the hospital, regardless of the high price. When I arrived at the hospital, I realized that I didn't know where to go to find Amanda, and I finally found out the location of the obstetrics and gynecology department. There weren't many patients that day, and I ran out of breath to the obstetrics and gynecology department and saw Amanda sitting in the hallway.

Before she could express her surprise at my presence, I interrupted her: "Three years ago, when the tsunami hit, did you pick up tourists from China?" His name was Situ Nan. ”

She looked at me confusedly and shook her head.

I smiled self-deprecatingly, Amanda, the name is so common, maybe there are a lot of them in this building right now.

I walked down the stairs in despair, just in time to meet Ouyang Jing who had finished paying the fee.

He was wearing a green floral shirt, which stood right in front of me. My heart was suffocated all of a sudden, and I began to pound incredibly again, I was probably crazy, and I asked him, "Do you know Situan?" Situ is difficult. ”

He looked at me with a confused expression.

I chimed out the last glimmer of hope: "So how long have you been here?"

He smiled: "It's been more than seven or eight years."

Seven or eight years ago, I was in a trance, when Situ Nan and I were still sitting in the same classroom doing test papers, he never bothered to write ancient poems to fill in the blanks, and I never did the last math problem correctly. I used my hand as a fan and complained, "It's so hot, the fan is broken again."

He glanced at me and handed me the frozen drink on his table, but he didn't forget to say evilly: "Fat people are afraid of heat."

"Where am I fat!"

He didn't answer, and looked at my little belly with a grin. I don't wear much clothes in the summer, and when I sit down, my stomach bulges slightly.

I glared at him, "Girls are like that."

He shrugged, an expression that I didn't believe you. Angry, my teeth itched, and I poked him hard with my pen.

I came back to my senses and said to Ouyang Jing in front of me, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

"It doesn't matter," he said, "it's going to be found." ”

I wanted to say more.

The next day, I didn't give up and went to Amanda again. She and Ouyang Jing arranged the courtyard of the inn together.

Her pupils were beautiful, maroon, round and large, like crystal glass beads. She can speak a little Chinese and even recite a poem: "Jinse gratuitous fifty strings, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian." Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring. There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time. ”

I admired it very much, but I was puzzled: "Why this one?"

She turned her head to look at Ouyang Jing, and the man also smiled at her, and the relationship between the two of them made people feel quiet and happy when they saw it.

"Because he likes it very much," she said.

I looked at Ouyang Jing, and he smiled, but didn't explain why he liked this one.

I looked at the tall man in front of me with a complicated expression, the sun fell on his face, and his smile still stopped on his face, which made me think of Situ Nan again.

Situ Nan has always been very biased, and his language is rarely able to go to three digits, but the only poem that can be memorized is this "Jin Se". For the same reason as Amanda, because I like it.

The teenage girl, in fact, has never really tasted the bitterness of feelings, and memorizes a lot of love poems, thinking that she will understand love better.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, just standing and chatting for a while, I was bitten on my body, Ouyang Jing asked me with a smile: "Why did you bite Miss Chen, are you blood type A?"

I nodded resignedly, and casually asked, "What about you?"

"I'm blood type O and Amanda is type AB."

I looked at his face that was obviously completely different from Situ Nan, and I couldn't take my eyes off it for a long time. It occurred to me that Situ Nan is also O-shaped.

I stumbled upon Amanda out of my peripheral vision, and I noticed that she was smiling very forcefully.

I had a lot of doubts in my heart, and the next day I asked the registered little sister about the travel agency where Amanda used to work. I told them I was looking for my loved one who had been separated in the tsunami three years ago, and they told me I was sorry that a lot of the travel agency's information had been lost in that disaster.

I took out a photo of myself and Situ Nan from my bag, and the photo was old and fragile because I had seen it countless times and been wet with tears countless times.

It was a photo taken when we were 20 years old on the edge of the broken bridge and snow in West Lake, and I leaned on Situ Nan's shoulder, smiling with my eyes crooked. Now, five years later, my youth is over, and he is still so young and handsome.

I asked the travel agent, "Have you seen this person in the photo?"

They shook their heads at me, but I had a hunch in my heart that they must have seen Situ Nan.

(iv)

Because I had other purposes in mind, I often went to Amanda to chat, and I inevitably met Ouyang Jing.

They spoke in English and spoke very quickly, and I only understood half of them.

Once they made dinner and invited me to eat together, Ouyang Jing put a dish that Amanda didn't like into his bowl and carefully peeled an apple for her.

I blurted out, "I really envy you." ”

I was sick before, and Situ Nan also took care of me. However, his skills in taking care of people are so poor that the apples are cut to the end of the potholes, not to mention, they are eaten up in two bites. In order to contradict me, he picked out the vegetables I hated for me to eat, and if he didn't eat them, he grabbed my remote control, I was so angry that my brain was hot, so I leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

He's going to blow up, staring at me blankly. I squinted and said, "Don't worry, I'll be responsible for you." ”

Later, I found out that this trick was very effective, and when I encountered something I didn't want to eat, or a comic that I wanted to read, as long as I kissed Ananda, he would agree to any request with a red face.

When I was with Situ Nan, many girls found fault with me, pointed at me and asked Situ Nan what he liked about me. I wasn't angry at all, I felt that outsiders couldn't get into the relationship between me and Situ Nan, so I proudly clasped my hands around my chest and waited for Situ Nan to praise me endlessly.

As a result, Situ Nan thought about it very seriously for a long time, and finally looked at me sincerely: "I'm sorry, I really didn't find any advantages." ”

I almost didn't hit him with flip flops.

But no one ever asked me what I liked about Ananda, he was handsome, intelligent, and well-mannered, as if it was a matter of course that I liked him. After Ananda died, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't know what I liked about Ananda.

Later, someone said to me that what you can't say is love.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a throbbing pain in my heart, and I put down my chopsticks and ran out. Ouyang Jing saw that something was wrong with me and came out to look for me, I stood by the window of the corridor, looking down in confusion. Ouyang Jing immediately became nervous and called me loudly, "Miss Chen." ”

I looked back at him, and a gust of wind blew the corners of his shirt into the air. He stood in the golden light, his face blurred by the sunlight, and at that moment, he coincided with the Ananda I remembered.

I couldn't help but speak, "Ananda." ”

He was puzzled and looked at me: "Miss Chen? ”

I looked at him, and I didn't know why, tears welled up all at once, and I couldn't stop crying: "Ananda, Ananda. ”

He sighed and smiled apologetically: "Miss Chen, the festival is smooth." ”

The next day, I found a wallet on the table in the public rest area of the inn, and when I opened it, I found that it was Ouyang Jing's driver's license.

I was looking at the driver's license, and suddenly heard footsteps behind me, and when he saw me, Ouyang Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out that it fell here." ”

I smiled and handed him the wallet: "You don't look the same as in the ID photo." ”

"Really?" He laughed, the pear vortex on his cheek revealed, "At that time, I had just had surgery and my face had not yet recovered. ”

I was stunned: "What surgery?"

"Plastic surgery," he said, gesturing to his face, "Actually, I was killed in that tsunami, but I was lucky to survive, I had my face destroyed and I had surgery." ”

I felt like five thunderbolts, and many clips flashed through my mind, but I couldn't grasp anything, and I felt as if I had missed a very important point.

"Other than disfigurement...... "Are there any other injuries...... Your head? ”

He was a little surprised: "How do you know?" Yes, I had a head wound and lost my memory. ”

I took a step back and crouched on the ground.

"Then why are you...... Know your name is Ouyang Jing? ”

"That's what Amanda told me, she told me that we fell in love on the trip and I stayed in India for her." He said softly.

I stared at him with red eyes and tried to say something, but I found that I was out of control and I didn't even know how to speak.

I could only cover my mouth and tears rained down. I stretched out my hand and grabbed the corner of the man named Ouyang Jing in front of me. There was a buzzing in my ears, and the next second, I fainted.

The night before I left the inn, I saw Amanda in the courtyard of the inn. She was sitting on the lanyard flipping through the photos, and when she saw me coming, she smiled and beckoned to me: "Miss Chen, come and see." ”

It was full of photos of her and Ouyang Jing, they seemed to have been to many places together, hugging and smiling in front of the camera.

I looked at the man in the picture, I looked at his smile, it was something I had been madly longing for.

I looked up in a daze and said to Amanda, "I also had a fiancé. We have known each other for nearly 20 years, grown up together, and experienced many things together. He came here to work, and when he set out, he told me that when he came back, we would get married. ”

Amanda looked at me with a complicated expression.

But I ignored her and said to myself, "We even talked about the days after marriage, he cooks, and I wash the dishes." We're going to have a big dog called Nono. The bedroom should be painted in the light blue that I like, and the bed linen should be a starry sky......"

I chattered.

She suddenly began to scream.

I looked her in the eye and whispered, "In this world, there are many ways to determine a person's identity in addition to physical appearance. I don't want to argue with you about whether there is really such a person as Ouyang Jing in the world, I just want to ask you to give me an explanation. ”

She looked at me in shock, trembled, and stammered in English, "I love him, I fell in love with him at first sight...... That tsunami was so horrible that it ruthlessly took everything from me, I ...... I just wanted to find a reason to live. ”

The reason to live, I looked at her beautiful face.

"Have you ever thought that in a distant place," I said, as if blood was oozing out of my heart, "someone has lost his reason to live because he has lost him?" ”

She bit her lip and didn't speak.

I got emotional, strode forward and grabbed her shoulders with all my might, and said hysterically, "Why! ”

In the next second, someone suddenly hit my hand, Ouyang Jing's tall body was inserted into us, he protected Amanda behind him, and looked at me angrily: "Miss Chen! What are you doing? ”

I took two steps back.

I looked at this man, he was the most loving person in the world. He had bent down and put me on my back and on the watery road, and I was lying on his back, feeling that happiness was nothing more than that.

He's alive, he's not dead. It's just that such a person, a person who loves me like this, looks at me with angry and strange eyes at this time, and protects his fiancée behind him. What does it mean to love someone? As long as he is safe and sound, is it enough to live a happy life?

I covered my mouth and tried not to cry, I kept shaking my head, stepping back, and then rushing out the door.

On the day of Ouyang Jing's wedding, I was not invited, but I was determined to take a look. They had a wedding in the park, and the bride wore a white wedding dress with gold trim
