Chapter 56: It's really you, not someone else
Yang Yuhao and Liu Xinyue can be regarded as positive results of cultivation and have been blessed by all of us. Zhou Peng and Xu Mengyou have always maintained their original state, the two of them are very plain together, and they do not show affection or make contradictions.
It's like two colleagues in the company, discussing work and striving for the future. They are the most mature pair that makes people look mature, not Zhou Peng is mature but Xu Mengyou.
Xu Mengyou is very serious in her studies, and she must also be a workaholic in the future, which is in line with her image of a strong woman. Now in this era, women begin to gradually want to have their own lives, and they are not willing to rely on others, so there are more and more urban beauties.
In fact, there have been signs of the rise of women for a long time, and in high school, many grades were first girls, and in the early years, boys basically took the top few. A long time ago, it was basically difficult for girls to go to school, and once the family was in financial difficulties, they basically did not allow girls to go to school.
In fact, many times I think that girls are more suitable for reading, because they are careful and serious, and they don't take it seriously. Naturally, the teacher prefers to choose these people as class cadres, first, to manage well, and secondly, to complete the task seriously.
Everyone around me seemed to have a home, but I was still in the fog, not knowing which direction to go. I knew it was the day she would come back, and I finally mustered up the courage to call her.
She should still be on the way, I heard Xu Chule's voice when she answered the phone, they should have had a good chat just now. The person who is with her is not me, even if she doesn't mind, I myself will have low self-esteem, and this is how people will give up on themselves.
Her voice came from there, "Is there something wrong?" I'm going to school right away. ”
When I heard this voice again 7 days later, she was not as indifferent as she had rejected me before, and I don't know if she had let go of herself or me.
I thought for a moment, "Joey, see you at the old place." ”
Far away, she looked at Xu Chule, and made sure that he didn't hear it, so she put the phone to her ear again, covered it with her hand and whispered, "Hmm." ”
Then there is the beep of hanging up, and the very concise conversation will determine the future of the two of us, even if there are many things that we don't want to face, but still want to know the answer.
For Joey, although it was just a simple word, she was very at ease, and even felt a little relieved. She remembered something, and her smile was mixed with tears.
Her move didn't escape Xu Chule's eyes, and Xu Chule thought that she was crying with joy after not returning to school for a long time, so she didn't think much about it.
The old place in our mouth is the school's stargazing platform, and in the northeast corner of our school, there is a stargazing tower, which is used by professors of the astronomy department to observe the starry sky. Of course we can't go inside, but I know the stargazing platform is a great place to see the stars at night.
I remember when I stumbled upon this place and met Joey, she was wearing a white dress, like Xu Qing in the past. So I leaned into her ear and whispered, "Do you want to see the Big Dipper?" ”
She nodded silently, "Yes." ”
Then I happily took her hand and ran to the stargazing platform, maybe that's when she really started to love me. The moment I held her hand meant that I didn't reject her, but I really didn't have that idea at the time.
I was like a bad boy skipping class and having fun, especially with someone with me. We slipped into the building while no one was looking. She didn't speak the whole time, and probably never skipped class. But she would often look at me without saying a word.
When I climbed to the 7th floor, I was condescending to look around. I think why the ancient emperors liked to run to the top of the mountain to confer Zen, in addition to being closer to the sky and being able to deceive the world that they were the descendants of gods, it may also be because the high places are unbearable and cold, and it is the loneliness they endured.
I once promised Xu Qing to sit on the grass with her carefree and look at the stars, preferably on the night of the meteor shower, she could close her eyes and make a vow. She can lean on my shoulder and listen to me tell stories about the galaxy, she can lie on the lawn and count the stars.
It's just a pity that this wish didn't come true, but people are very strange creatures, even if the person next to you is gone, you will still go to the agreed place alone, or do what you promised. It's like meeting that person there, but it just sounds beautiful.
Joey and I stuck our feet out of the railing and watched the stars. I was stupid when I watched the stars talk to her about it, and now I feel guilty when I think about it. What a sin to tirelessly talk about another girl in front of a girl.
I thought she wouldn't care, she thought I accepted her, and I later found out how uncomfortable she was. At that time, she also smiled and told me how interesting and beautiful the Big Dipper was.
The Big Dipper is an important scene in the sky of the Northern Hemisphere, which is composed of seven stars: Tianshu (greedy wolf), Tianxuan (giant gate), Tianji (Lucun), Tianquan (Wenqu), Yuheng (Lianzhen), Kaiyang (Wuqu), and Shaoguang (broken army). The ancients imagined the connection of these seven stars as the ancient bucket, so it was called the Beidou.
The Big Dipper appears in different directions in the northern hemisphere sky in different seasons and at different times of the night, so the ancients decided the season according to the direction pointed by the bucket handle at dawn and dusk. Ancient books record: the bucket handle points to the east, and the world is spring; Bucket handle guide, the world is summer; The bucket handle points to the west, and the world is autumn; The bucket handle points to the north, and the world is east.
But what I talked to her the most that night was about the legend of the Big Dipper.
When heaven and earth were first separated, it was desolate everywhere on earth. At this time, Nuwa gave birth to a boy and a girl. One day, the pillar of heaven fell, and the sky fell, and floods and hailstones leaked to the ground all day long, and a strong wind blew on the nose of the bull. Nuwa was busy refining colorful pebbles all day long, and she didn't care about taking care of her children. Nuwa was also tired and sick from making up for the sky, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt sorry for the child, and she became more and more sick.
That year, there was a great drought, and there was not a drop of rain in a year, and drinking water and eating became a thing. Nuwa is sick, and she can't eat or drink, so she doesn't get angry. This is very bad for her daughter. In order to save her mother, the girl split the largest gourd scoop and carried it to find water. At this time, the girl was only in her teens. She walked and walked, and she didn't know how far she had walked, how many days she had walked, and she looked for water everywhere regardless of the black price during the day.
On this day, she walked under an ancient tree, she was too tired to walk, so she sat down and rested. As soon as he touched the ground, he dreamed of an old man with a white beard, sitting by a pool of clear water, and said, "Girl, if you go west along this big tree, you will find water, which will cure your mother's illness." ”
The girl woke up with a spirit, and she didn't feel tired, so she walked in the direction pointed by the old man, and walked for a long time, and there was really a pool of clear water before meeting! She likes it as well, she scoops it with a scoop, and she can't scoop it into the scoop when she scoops it away. When I thought of my sick mother, I was so anxious that I cried. Crying and crying, I felt my hands sinking. When I opened my eyes, the scoop was full of water. The girl got up and left, for fear of delaying her mother's illness.
The girl didn't remember much, and after walking for a while, she couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, there were wastelands everywhere, and she couldn't figure out where the family lived. After walking for a while, he came across a dog, which lay there wilting and unable to move. The girl saw that the dog was pitiful, and brought the ladle to tell it to drink. The dog took two sips, immediately jumped up, and said lively: "Thank you for saving me, I'm going home to find my mother."
You follow my footsteps and you will return home. The girl knew how to go, and she was very happy. But the light can go during the day, but the black price can't. When I think about how many days I've been out, I still don't know how my mother is at home? I was so anxious that I cried. A cry alarmed the white-bearded old man. The white-bearded old man took out seven diamonds and threw them into the scoop, and in the blink of an eye, there was a bright spoon in the scoop. The old man said to her, "The spoon points north." You look at the spoon and go. ”
With this, the girl's black price can also be rushed. But the diamond was too heavy, and the girl had to rest for a while when she walked, but it was still slow, and she was so anxious that she cried again. The white-bearded old man came over and asked why. The girl cried and said, "I can distinguish the direction, and the black price can also hurry, but the spoon is resting in my water scoop, and I can't hold it." The old man with the white beard said, "I have neglected this." Come, you see. As he spoke, he blew a breath of fairy air, and the seven diamonds in the scoop flew up to the ground, flying higher and higher, until they flew into the sky, becoming seven bright stars.
From here on, the girl walked according to the paws of the dog during the day, and the black price walked in the direction of the spoon star. I walked for two days and two nights and returned home. Nuwa drank the water and was cured. She asked her how she had come back, and she said, "It was a white-bearded old man who gave her a spoon star to point the way." I pointed north in the direction of the spoon star, and I arrived home. That night, Nuwa led her daughter to kowtow to the spoon star and thanked the white-bearded old man. Nuwa called the spoon star the northward star. Later, after many years of rumors, people called the North Walking Star "Big Dipper".
The legend is beautiful, but in reality we are not beautiful, so we like it so much. I didn't expect that now I was a dark star lurking next to Joey, waiting for her to wake me up. I wanted to say to her once in earnest, "Change me to be your guardian." ”
It's really just her, not anyone else.
