Chapter 35: Buried by Time
Iman's whole body was cold, sticking to Cheng Xian's body like an octopus, and Cheng Xian didn't have a trace of boredom.
Both of them are accustomed to living a prosperous life, and now living in this poor town has more warmth.
Iman's little feet reached Chengxian's feet, and Chengxian trembled visibly because her feet were too cold.
Seeing that Cheng Xian did not kick her away, Iman squeezed Cheng Xian with satisfaction, and his cold body gradually warmed up.
Neither of them spoke, the night enveloped all the senses, and even breathing hit their faces one by one, half-asleep.
Iman still couldn't sleep, and tentatively scratched Chengxian's chest, but Chengxian didn't move. Iman was honest again.
After all, she couldn't sleep, and she seemed to be able to hear the wind blowing outside, which made her hope that Chengxian hadn't slept and could talk to her.
"Chengxian, are you asleep?" Iman asked in a whisper.
Cheng Xian let out a "hmm" and did not reply again.
Knowing that he wasn't asleep, Iman continued, "I can't sleep. β
"Chengxian I want to hear stories, do you know how to tell stories?"
"In the past, when I couldn't sleep, Aunt Yue would tell me stories, I miss Aunt Yue so much."
"I know you're laughing at me for being as naΓ―ve as a child, but I really can't sleep. It's really warm for their family to be around just now, and I miss my family too. β
β¦β¦
Cheng Xian put his arm around Iman's shoulder, "What story do you want to hear?" β
"I want to hear the story of the knight and the princess, I want to hear the story of Eros, I want to hear the ......"
Cheng Xian interrupted her in time, "Then I'll tell you a secret buried by time." β
You're in your twenties, and you can't sleep and still have to listen to stories, Iman, your family really protects you so well.
It's a long story, probably thirteen years later. Thirteen years, a person from youth to maturity, including all the youthful years.
"When he was fifteen years old, the boy was kicked out of the house by his father because he had done something wrong, and there was no way out. It was slowly getting dark, and the night was covered with fear, and no one took him in or gave him food. He roamed the streets like a stray dog. β
It was then that he met a girl in a white princess dress pestering her father to buy toys. When the girl saw the boy who was squatting in the corner and shivering, she suddenly fell silent, held the money in her hand tightly, stared at her father with big eyes, and asked, 'Daddy, can I give this brother the money for the toy, you see he is hungry and has no strength to walk.' ββ
The girl's father nodded, and the girl was very happy, even happier than she had bought her favorite doll. She took the boy's hand and walked into a small restaurant. The girl washed his hands, watched him gobble up, and comforted him, "Brother, you eat slowly, brother ......"
Later, the girl persuaded the boy to go home, and the boy told her that his father did not want him anymore and had no place to return, and even cried in front of a little girl. But the little girl did not laugh at him, and told him a great truth in a milky voice. β
Cheng Xian paused, and Iman asked, "Then what about this boy, will this boy just like this little girl, and they will meet again when they grow up, and live happily ever after." β
Iman lives in a longing and fantasizes about all kinds of bloody love plots. And the reality is ...... But it is......
Seonghyun continued, "Then the boy went home and confessed his mistake to his father. He had never forgotten the milky girl in the white gauze dress, he had been looking for her, and finally found her. β
But there were other people around her, she only treated boys as big brothers, not to mention that the little girl was only 8 years old at that time. Many times, self-righteous feelings have already lost to time at the beginning. β
Iman had never heard Cheng Xian say such a thing, he had always been calm, wise, and omnipotent. Such words came out of his mouth, as if to send out a sarcasm of fate.
"And then he gave up?"
"He didn't give up, he waited for her for ten years, and finally waited for her to grow up, but this girl didn't remember the boy back then."
Iman sighed, all the feelings in this world are no match for the tricks of fate. Her relationship with Qingyang for more than ten years is not just dissolved.
Where there is something right and wrong, it is just the wrong time and place. You have always thought that you can wait for a person to grow up and wait for a person to mature, but you have long forgotten that in the process of waiting, you are no longer the same self you used to be.
Cheng Xian hugged Iman's shoulders and asked, "If it were you, would you choose this person who has been waiting for you for more than ten years?" β
Iman shook his head, "I don't know, but if I had met such a person back then, I would have taken out the money in my hand and brought him to dinner." But Cheng Xian, the story you mentioned, why do I feel so familiar with the previous part, as if I heard it somewhere. β
Cheng Xian didn't speak, you really forgot everything, it's clearly you, I waited for you for ten years, and I returned to China three years ago to see you again, and I understood that I couldn't choose by you anymore.
Whether it's locked or oppressed, my city must keep you.
Maybe at first it was just because of gratitude, just because of the slight heartbeat of youth, but later it evolved into wanting a stability and wanting a result.
Cheng Xian's breathing was so heavy that Iman could hear his heavy sigh, and she asked in a low voice, "Could this be your first love?" β
Cheng Xian didn't speak, and Iman only took it as if he was admitting. In fact, Chengxian is not bad, sometimes it is just not the right way. This is all to blame for the psychological shadow left by her first love's little girlfriend, so he convulses and pretends to be perverted from time to time.
Iman decided to be kind to Cheng Xian in the future, so it seems that Cheng Xian is also a seed of infatuation. Although she couldn't see Cheng Xian's eyes, she could feel the faint sadness in Cheng Xian's tone.
So she comforted Cheng Xian and said, "Otherwise, I'll help you snatch back your little first love." β
Iman calculated that as long as he helped Cheng Xian snatch back the lover of his dreams, Cheng Xian would let her go. She no longer has to worry about how to ask Chengxian all day long.
Cheng Xian put his hand on her eyes, "You don't have to worry about my affairs, go to bed quickly." β
Iman's big eyes were gurgling, and after listening to Cheng Xian's story, she was really a little sleepy, and soon fell asleep.
And Cheng Xian couldn't sleep anymore, what did so many years of waiting get in exchange, maybe it was just the warmth in his arms, maybe it was only in exchange for the quiet passage of time.
