Chapter 11: Wishes Under the Stars
"I'll wash the dishes." I wanted to take the bowl in Meng Yao's hand, but she insisted on her washing, and I was happy to be idle.
......
The starry sky at night is full of stars, and in this industrialized city, it is unbelievable to see the stars, and I remember the last time I saw this kind of night was in the fields when I was a child.
A few days ago, I heard a news that there was a meteor tonight, and I don't know if it will pass through the sky in my place.
Meng Yao was brushing the dishes in the kitchen and said to me, "Shui Han, it is said that there is a meteor today!" ”
I replied, "I heard it's around ten o'clock tonight." ”
"I really want to see a meteor, so I can make a wish."
"So many people make wishes, do you think it will take a fancy to your wishes?" I really don't know what these women are thinking in their heads, it's ridiculous to make a wish on a shooting star.
Meng Yao didn't reply to me, maybe she was angry, I thought in my heart: If Meteor can really fulfill my wish, will life follow the path I made my wish? If I meet it, it can make me a wish, I will make my heart's wish to a meteor under the starry sky, maybe this wish will not come true. If I can, then I am willing to spend this night watching this meteor and waiting for it to break through the sky and descend on the world......
I went to the study and picked up a book, sat on the balcony and turned on the faint light, sometimes looking at the book, sometimes looking up at the starry sky, maybe I didn't look forward to the meteor very much, what I liked was the wish of the meteor for my life.
Meng Yao washed the dishes and came over and saw me sitting on the edge of the balcony, the window was still open, and the cold wind that blew couldn't help but make her cold, and said to me worriedly: "Aren't you cold in the water cold?" ”
As he spoke, he closed the window, sat next to me and looked at the starry sky, and asked, "Shui Han, are you here to see the meteor?" ”
"Hmm."
"Shui Han, do you want to make a wish?" Meng Yao suddenly became interested, looked at me and said, "Can you tell me what wish you want to make?" ”
I gave her a blank look and said, "Is it still called a wish when you say it?" ”
"But I really want to know." Meng Yao looked at me expectantly, staring at me with eyes as bright as the starry sky without blinking.
I ignored her, and Meng Yao didn't ask any more questions, waiting for the meteor on the balcony with me.
Meng Yao said faintly: "Will there really be a meteor today?" ”
Until ten o'clock, Meng Yao hadn't seen the meteor and was a little disappointed, after staying up for so long, she was a little impatient, staring at the book in my hand and asking curiously, "Shui Han, what book are you reading?" ”
"Letter from a Strange Woman"
"Who sent it to you?" Meng Yao's tone was a little jealous, like a guarded kitten.
I showed her the cover angrily, Meng Yao stuck out her tongue and whispered, "I don't think you're bored." ”
"You go and rest, I'll call you if there's a shooting star."
Meng Yao didn't listen to me and continued to stay by my side, and I, for the sake of the women in the book, were a little selfless and couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.
I was angry for her and sympathized with her tragic experience, and I always knew that I was an emotional person who would grieve for the people in the book and be excited for the people in the book......
Whenever I can't control myself, I close the book and close my eyes to calm down.
"Meng Yao, are you living lonely?" The continuous encounters in the past few days have made me a little exhausted, and every night is so lonely, even if Meng Yao accompanies me.
If Meng Yao is also gone, then I will be completely cut off from the world.
"Not lonely, huh?" Meng Yao looked at me suspiciously.
I nodded, and I also thought in my heart that a woman like Meng Yao could live lonely, from childhood to adulthood, she lived on the stage with the stars holding the moon, and she should enjoy the prosperity of the world.
Compared to me, for the sake of a woman, I lost nothing in the end. It's really one in the sky and one on the earth.
I was suddenly curious about what such a woman's wish would be if she could fulfill an impossible wish, and asked curiously: "Meng Yao, if you could make a wish that could be realized, what would you wish?" ”
Meng Yao was silent for a long time before she looked at me and said, "I won't tell you, otherwise it won't be realized." ”
I'm a little funny, I wanted to know my wishes before, but in my heart, I think women should be able to promise brand-name bags, perfume lipsticks or something, and Meng Yao should not be an exception.
"What if I can't be with you if I say it?" Meng Yao lowered her head and whispered.
The voice was soft, though, and I didn't hear it.
The wish I want to make, if it can really come true, is to go back to college and never meet Li Ranran again, the woman who took away all my feelings.
If it really happens, will I fall in love with Meng Yao? Maybe not, because since I was a child, I didn't have a strong affection for her, or even pure friendship.
I can't help but think of a quote from Rabindranath Tagore: we should not tarnish friendship by trying to maintain it at any cost. If, for the sake of greater love, friendship must be sacrificed, there is no way to do it; But if it can be maintained, then it can really reach the state of perfection.
I think that this sentence can also be put on love, if my friendship with Meng Yao is broken and reaches that state, will I go down the path that everyone expects?
Love is just a kind of madness, I've been crazy, and now it's supposed to be marriage, but some people have said that marriage is just about taking what you take.
If I really married Meng Yao when I was tired, it would be cruel and unfair to Meng Yao.
Meng Yao suddenly asked me, "Shui Han, will you love me in a month?" ”
I don't know how to answer this question myself, I'm very confused about the future, I don't know how to answer her, maybe I will, maybe I won't.
"I don't know, but I'll tell you in a month."
Meng Yao nodded and looked up at the sky, at this time, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and the meteor should be gone tonight, I plan to take a shower and go to bed directly.
"Water cold, meteor!" Meng Yao suddenly screamed behind me.
I stopped, turned around and looked out the window, a meteor pierced the sky, Meng Yao opened the window for the first time and made a wish, I made a wish with the attitude of trying.
Under the starry sky, Meng Yao and I planted unattainable "seeds" with countless people who made wishes under the meteor.
"If I could do it all over again, I would try to fall in love with Meng Yao."
After I made a wish, I unconsciously looked at Meng Yao, and she still closed her eyes and made a wish to the meteor reverently, for a long time, she shed a tear, I don't know what wish she made, maybe I won't know in my life.
