Chapter 91: Mourning is greater than death
"I'm sorry, but I haven't thought about being your girlfriend yet."
Suddenly, Wen Ting actually said this.
"But why is that?" My voice trembled.
Could it be that this time I am going to be rejected by a woman I love so much?
"I, I really haven't figured it out yet. I'm sorry! Wen Ting stood up and bowed to me, "Uncle Ning." ”
"What? What do you call me, Uncle Ning? "I froze.
Why did she call me uncle?
Indeed, her parents and I are one generation, and in terms of generation, she and I are indeed two generations. However, in this parallel time and space now, there is only a 3-year age difference between me and her? Why did she call me uncle?
"I'm sorry, I'm leaving, take care." Wen Ting said lightly, turned around and left.
Don't leave!
This time, if I let her go again, I'm afraid I will miss it for the rest of my life!
I rushed forward and blocked her way.
I said excitedly, "Wen Ting, have you forgotten?" When we walked side by side in the rain, you rested your head on my shoulder? Also, that night, we ······"
"That night, we all drank too much." Wen Ting interrupted me, "I'm sorry, I've thought about it, after all, we are people from two worlds. I'm sorry! ”
After saying this sorry, she bowed to me again, and her hair fell down, and I couldn't see the expression on her face at this time.
Wen Ting, is it true that you don't love me anymore?
I wanted to say this to her, but when it came to my lips, I was swallowed.
Why is love always so tricky? When it's right next to you, you don't know how to cherish it, but when it's about to run away, you're in pain?
Wen Ting pushed my hand away, lowered her head, and walked past me.
"Wait a minute!" I stopped her.
This time, she didn't look back, but she didn't keep moving forward, but stopped.
"This watch, she is yours, I will give it back to you!" I stepped forward and held out the watch.
"No, you might as well keep it for yourself." Wen Ting raised her head, I wanted to see the expression on her face, but she twisted her face away, "This watch was originally yours." ”
"Since you're leaving, you'd better use this watch and go back to the future." I couldn't help but say, shoved the watch into her hand, "It's useless to me, but it can help you go back to the future, back to your own world." ”
When I said "in your own world", my heart felt like something had pierced me, and it hurt.
Are we really just two worlds?
"I haven't decided if I want to go back yet." Wen Ting looked up and tucked the watch back into my jacket pocket.
This time, I finally saw her face, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.
Wen Ting cried? She cried? She still loves me, but why can't she accept me?
"I just want to be alone and quiet, okay?" She said lightly, "Take care! ”
After saying that, she still left, and this time, she didn't look back, let alone stop for me.
Looking at her back as she faded away, I stood still, unable to say a word.
When her back completely disappeared from my field of vision, tears could not stop flowing.
Why? Could it be that I am destined to find true love in my life? Could it be that in this life, I am destined to be lonely
A single life?
At that moment, I suddenly had a thought that had been moved from the future - suicide!
I suddenly understood: in the parallel time and space that I traveled to 2037 last time, that "I" and that "Ning Qiang" took the initiative to crash into that car, although he was already drunk at the time.
On the day of Yuting's wedding, he must have written a suicide note in advance and put the watch at home. He didn't want to leave this watch to Yuting, but wanted to leave it to her unborn daughter, Wen Ting, because he probably had already seen Wen Ting who had crossed over from the future, and he had also tasted the taste of falling out of love again.
If it is said that the last time he was rejected by Yuting, for that Ning Qiang, it was only a life sentence. Then, this time the broken love directly sentenced him to death!
Moreover, I already knew that I had a terminal illness, and I didn't have much to live anyway. Sooner or later, death is inevitable, and suicide doesn't seem to be a big deal
Mourning, nothing is greater than heart death!
Hey, since I can't live long, why do I still have to drag Wen Ting, and I still propose to be boyfriend and girlfriend with her? Hey, I'm so stupid, how selfish should I be?
Thinking of this, I calmed down.
For the rest of the day, I'll live alone, and don't hurt anyone again!
So, I took out my phone and sent Wen Ting the last text message.
I have already written down Wen Ting's real mobile phone number, and this time, she will definitely receive this message.
"I'm sorry, Wen Ting, I've forgotten: my days in this world are numbered. I don't want to drag you down, I just want to be your friend, and I hope you can go back to your original world and be able to live happily. Take care! Your friend, Ning Qiang. ”
After the message was sent, I also turned off my phone.
I didn't need a reply from her, and I didn't expect her to call me.
I'm just a dying man, and I can watch the sunset for a few more days, and I can leave this world contentedly.
So, I went home and waited for death slowly.
Perhaps, at this moment, the Grim Reaper is also waiting for my arrival, right?
Stand in front of the window and look at the gray building across from you, and at the closed window.
By the year 2037, the building under my feet, and the row of hotels across the street, with the gray walls and the windows that looked like eyes, would be gone completely.
Of course, I don't have to wait that long, because I probably won't even be able to survive this year, 2019.
However, I didn't choose to commit suicide cowardly, I didn't plan to leave a suicide note, and I didn't plan to go to Yuting's wedding.
I didn't even quit drinking, and I'd rather die of a sober illness than end my life by crashing into a car while drunk.
Sober, and often cruel.
Will Wen Ting still appear behind the opposite window? I believe: this time, she won't. Even if she still lives there, it has nothing to do with me.
However, even so, I still have to think of her, and even dream of her smiling face like a flower in my dreams.
It's all over, though.
The watch, lying quietly on the coffee table, motionless.
Wen Ting probably doesn't want to go back to the future, right? Also, her mother is dead, and her father is about to die, and in that world, she will only be more lonely. Of course, she may also fall in love with another person, and from then on, she will never forget that she once met a man named Ning Qiang in another world.
As long as I don't dial back the hands of this watch, but die quietly, Wen Ting will not follow me and keep falling into that dead loop. In this way, even if she lives in this world, she is still free to choose her new life.
So, I'd rather wait quietly to die. As for the watch, I'm going to bury it before I die, in a place where no one will ever find out.
After I put all this arrangement, the next few days were the most down-to-earth and worry-free days of my life.
Every day, I wake up early and follow the crowd of runners.
Every day, when the sun sets, I will go to the Wangjiang River and watch the beautiful scenery of the sunset.
Every day, in the square at night, I will quietly watch the old people who are dancing in the square and practicing tai chi.
I'll never get old, right?
It's hard for me to imagine what it will be like when I'm old. I wish I could still walk and even dance and practice boxing like them. It's just a pity that I didn't grow old at all.
Time, to me, seemed to have stopped. Day after day, it's almost exactly the same.
However, there was a point in time that was unusual for me.
That day, finally, has come.
On August 24, 2019, it still came.
This time, however, I didn't do anything.
I just opened my phone and left it in a drawer at home.
This time, I put on my watch, even though I haven't worn it in a long time.
On this day, I went out and walked almost the whole city, and it was only at half past eleven in the evening that I dragged my tired body back home.
I know what's going to happen tonight, but I can't seem to do anything.
Even if Yuting is still dead tonight, Wen Ting can still continue to live in this parallel world, and everything that happens here will not affect her future here.
However, I still took out my mobile phone, and sure enough, there were a lot of calls in it, all from my classmates, but there were no calls from Yuting.
In this world, I am just an ordinary classmate to Yuting, insignificant. However, now I have forgotten her existence, except for one point, that is, she is Wen Ting's mother.
Ridiculous, I still want to marry her daughter?
Of course, I still hope that fate can change. If Yuting is safe tonight, in a few months, another Wen Ting will be born.
Of course, it has nothing to do with me, because I am about to finish my life's journey.
There will only be one intersection between me and that little Wen Ting, and that is - after I die, I will be reincarnated as her! From now on, I am her, and she is me!
However, what about the 18-year-old Wen Ting who is still in the current world? Where will she go?
If 18 years later, I will be Wen Ting in the next life. So, maybe I'll meet the other Wen Ting who is 18 years old again on the street, and when the time comes, will I be able to recognize her?
No, it can't be. By then, she was 36 years old and must have changed. As for me, after crossing the Nai He Bridge and drinking Meng Po soup, even if I see her again, I'm afraid I can't remember who she is.
I don't like to drink that bowl of Meng Po soup, but I'm afraid I can't control my own destiny anymore.
However, Wen Ting, to be exact, Yuting, who will be 36 years old in 2037, can still recognize me? She probably also understood: The 18-year-old girl in front of her was actually just the man she once loved deeply - Ning Qiang's afterlife, right?
But am I really going to forget her?
"Travel through the afterlife to love you!" Suddenly, I remembered this sentence again.
No, I want to remember in my heart: I still love that 18-year-old girl in a black dress named Wen Ting!
In this way, even if I drank Meng Po soup by the bridge of Naihe, in the next life, I will not forget: I once loved a woman, her name is Wen Ting!
Through the afterlife, I will still love you!
Just as I was in my reverie, my phone rang.
It was Hao Minglai's call.
This time, I finally picked up the phone.
Actually, I could have guessed the content of his call.
Sure enough, Yuting is still dead! Or died in a traffic accident!
And the perpetrators turned out to be a couple of cheating men and women. The man worked in the crematorium, and the woman was a married woman.
"I see." However, this time I didn't react at all.
This time, I didn't rush to the hospital either, but said "got it" and hung up.
I see, so what's the use? I still can't change my fate, and fate hasn't let us go.
I took off my watch, and it was useless to me.
I lay down and just wanted to die quietly, preferably, in a dream. In this way, there is no more pain, no fear.
At the moment when I lay down, there was a sudden knock on the door.
I sat up again, but I thought I was just hallucinating.
However, the knock continued, and it was indeed the sound of a knock.
"Who is it?" I screamed.
However, the people outside the door did not answer.
I came to the cat behind the door and looked out, but there was no one in sight.
What's going on?
I opened the door.
Suddenly, a man rushed over.
When I saw this person, I was so frightened that my heart almost jumped out of my throat······
