Chapter 2 Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains
Over the weekend, it was still a nice day. Ye Shan received a call from her friend Liu Jia, who said that she was coming to W City soon.
Ye Shan was excited for a while.
They were high school classmates, and at that time they were very good, like close friends. But after graduating, they broke off contact, like shells on the shore that were washed away by the sea at high tide, but fortunately when the tide receded, the sea sent them back again, and they got in touch again by chance at the beginning of this year.
However, years have passed.
Ye Shan told Lin Qinghai about this and asked him if he could help her pick up her friends at the airport.
"Absolutely." Lin Qinghai said heartily, "Just call me." ”
Ye Shan smiled at him, when she sat face to face with Lin Qinghai, she was always not as comfortable as she was with Chen Qihua, and she often didn't know what to say.
"You're too serious." Lin Qinghai laughed at her.
"You're perfect."
"Perfect?"
"Well, it's so perfect that it makes me feel inferior."
Lin Qinghai got up and sat next to Ye Shan, hugged her shoulders, and said distressedly: "I love you very much, I love you very much." "His voice melts magnetically into the sunlight and is suffocating.
Ye Shan naturally snuggled into his arms. Such days are warm and reassuring.
Liu Jia came as scheduled. On that day, the wind and the sun were beautiful.
On the way to the airport, Ye Shan has been thinking about how to greet her long-lost friend. Shake hands? Embrace?
Ye Shan couldn't help laughing, it was really cheesy.
"Nervous?" While waiting outside the guardrail, Lin Qinghai asked.
"No, it's excitement." Ye Shan's eyes did not leave the exit.
After a while, the crowd came out, and Ye Shan recognized Liu Jia at a glance, and then waved her hand. Although I haven't seen it for many years, that familiarity is engraved in the bottom of my heart, no matter how many years pass. She was still the same, with naturally slightly curly hair.
Liu Jia also waved his hand and strode over.
They didn't shake hands, they didn't hug, they held hands, and their faces were happy.
"Oh my God, it's been a long time since we've seen each other." Liu Jia exclaimed excitedly.
"It's been years."
"It's been so many years since I graduated, and I thought it would break up like this."
"I know your parents' home, but I'm always too embarrassed to ask."
"You should have asked."
The two couldn't help but feel sad as they spoke.
Only then did Ye Shan think of Lin Qinghai who was standing aside, and he always looked at this scene with a smile.
"This is my boyfriend." Ye Shan introduced.
"Hello!" Lin Qinghai said simply, he didn't show too much enthusiasm.
"Hello!" Liu Jia smiled politely, and then glanced at Ye Shan a little puzzled.
Ye Shan shrugged.
That night, they went to a well-known foreign restaurant, where the atmosphere was elegant and noble.
"He looks rich." Taking advantage of Lin Qinghai's time to go to the bathroom, Liu Jia whispered.
"I don't know." Ye Shan didn't care.
"What does he do?"
"I only know that he has his own company, and I don't know exactly what he does."
"How do you know nothing about your boyfriend?"
"We didn't have a relationship for long."
"That's right." Liu Jia suddenly said, "Didn't I listen to you at the beginning of the year......" Seeing Lin Qinghai coming, Liu Jia stopped talking leisurely.
The whole dinner was a pleasure. Lin Qinghai is a gentleman, but he is humorous and romantic.
After sending them back, even though Liu Jia was present, Lin Qinghai still kissed Ye Shan's forehead and said "good night" gently. That tenderness permeated the room.
"Nice man." Closing the door, Liu Jia praised.
"Don't laugh at me." Ye Shan's face flushed, "Drink something?" ”
"I can't drink, I'm too full." Liu Jia leaned back on the sofa and looked at the room, "I like you here." ”
"Then stay longer."
"I've got to leave tomorrow."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Shan stopped pouring the juice.
Liu Jia smiled a little shyly: "My boyfriend is waiting for me." ”
"Really?" Ye Shan took the juice to the sofa and sat down, "Where is he?" ”
"The city next door."
"I see!" Ye Shan smiled. Liu Jia rushed to W City, it turned out to be to the arms of her lover.
Liu Jia didn't come to see her on this trip, just a way, even so, she was very grateful.
"Is it the one from college?"
"We broke up early." Liu Jia put away her smile, "He's married now." ”
"Oh."
"What about you?"
"What?"
"Didn't you tell me that you were finally going to be with Tang Wending? How can I ...... now?"
Tang Wending.
This name makes Ye Shan sad when she thinks about it, but it is engraved in her heart like a brand.
Ye Shan smiled bitterly, "I was deceived." ”
"What's going on?" Liu Jia sat up straight.
"I don't know, I thought I wanted to be together, but he suddenly disappeared without leaving a word." Ye Shan sighed deeply.
"What does it mean to be missing?"
"It's gone."
"Something is going to happen."
Ye Shan shook his head, "He's always like this." ”
"Always?"
"High school graduation was once, college was once, and now again." The more Ye Shan spoke, the more sad she became, and her eyes gradually turned red, "Perhaps, he never thought of being with me from beginning to end." ”
"It's disgusting." Liu Jia was indignant, "I really didn't expect Tang Wending to be such a person." ”
"To love or not to love is his freedom."
"But why is he playing tricks?" Liu Jia raised her voice.
Ye Shan raised the corners of her mouth with difficulty.
Liu Jia quieted down, put his hand on Ye Shan's shoulder, and said happily: "Okay, now that you have Lin Qinghai, he is a thousand times better than Tang Wending, ten thousand times." It's all gone. ”
Everything is gone, and everything starts again.
The warm evening breeze blew through the window, faintly hiding a hint of gloom. Ye Shan smiled, Liu Jia's arrival was a warm current and a great comfort for her.
The next day, in the early morning sunshine, Ye Shan waved goodbye to Liu Jia. Even with Lin Qinghai as a companion, Ye Shan still felt so lonely in an instant.
Last night, they talked until late at night, and in the morning both of them had slightly swollen eyes.
They talked about some locks and interesting things in high school, but they all avoided the name "Tang Wending" intentionally or unintentionally, and there were stories about that name.
However, Ye Shan knows very well that it is a treasure that time will never be able to erase. She still accurately remembered her nervous mood when she blushed and asked Liu Jia to convey the written note to Tang Wen, and her heart was about to beat out. It feels like yesterday when I think about it.
That was a long, long time ago.
"You should go back and get some rest."
Ye Shan came back to her senses, and Lin Qinghai was dispelling her idea of going to work.
"I'm not tired."
"I'm going to feel distressed." Lin Qinghai looked at Ye Shan affectionately.
Ye Shan smiled: "Drive carefully." ”
She felt that Lin Qinghai was like a heater, driving away the coldness in her body little by little, as if she had sadly written in her diary: I need sunshine, I need a lot of sunshine, even if I die from exposure to the sun.
Then in the face of warmth, Ye Shan had no choice but to compromise and go back to sleep.
Then, I had a long dream.
She dreamed of Tang Wending, and dreamed of high school days with special significance. Tang Wending's eyes in the dream were still melancholy, and he stood at the end of the corridor of the teaching building in a red jersey and beckoned to her. She walked towards him, but the corridor grew longer and longer, and she could not finish walking, and she became more and more sad.
Finally, she woke up exhausted from her dream.
The afternoon sun, not strong, not arrogant, softly shrouded over W City. However, Ye Shan actually felt a burning sensation all over her body.
Following the dream, she recalled that once Tang Wending told her that he had dreamed of her.
She asked him, "What do you dream of me?" ”
Tang Wending hung his head and said: "I dreamed that you were very cold and cold, I wanted to go over and hug you, but I couldn't finish that road." ”
Years later, she had such a similar dream.
In fact, she never really thought that Tang Wending had lied to her or tricked her, she didn't blame her at all, and she didn't hate it at all. Because she occasionally feels that there are thousands of rivers and mountains between them, he can't get by, and she can't get by, so she will miss it again and again.
Even if you turn back a thousand times, it's still the same ending.
Or maybe it's fate.
Thinking of this, Ye Shan turned her head and looked out the window with a sense of loss, feeling infinitely stunned.
