Chapter 3 Past and Present Lives
Her name is Li Xiaoli, and she is a smart girl. She has fair and delicate skin, moon-like eyes, and a smile full of joy, which is very likable. Since she was a child, she has been the focus of the class, she is good at studying, beautiful and pleasing people, and no one will dislike her.
Maybe since elementary school, there have been countless boys who like her, give her gifts, write love letters to her, and do everything possible to please her, but she only focuses on her studies and never responds.
It wasn't until the year she graduated from high school that she met him.
His name is Zheng Yu, tall, ordinary-looking, but very clean, he looks gentle, with an elegant temperament, which makes people feel very comfortable when they look at it. They lived in different cities that year, and they didn't know each other, but they all chose to travel to the same city. They all share the same philosophy: to go to a city, you have to eat all the specialties of that city!
"Master, a piece of stinky tofu." It's two voices, but they don't miss a word, and even the pause time is exactly the same. They were stunned, and then looked at each other. The moment she saw her, she had the illusion that he was the one she had been waiting for, his breath so familiar and yet completely unfamiliar.
"Five yuan, just put the money directly in that box and make change yourself." The master is a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, I don't know if he has been soaked in oil smoke all day or if it is like this, anyway, he looks a little greasy, there are some cracks on his black hands, and he has been fiddling with the tofu blocks in the oil pot, never looking up.
"That...... Belch...... I forgot to put my wallet when I went out, can you help me pay the money first, add me a QQ, and I'll return it to you. "
She said something a little weak, but he readily agreed. She took stinky tofu and watched his figure disappear into the crowd, and then looked down at his QQ avatar on her phone, and the speed of her little heart beat involuntarily doubled.
At night, she lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to stop for a while, her heart was still beating fast, and the flowing blood was about to burst her brain. Open the dialog box with him from time to time, type a few words and delete them, and enter a few words and still feel that it doesn't work, and always feel that the beginning is not appropriate, and finally sent the message to her best friend without any reason.
"Lei Lei, I seem to have fallen in love with a little boy at first sight, what should I do?"
"Damn, the thousand-year-old iron tree bloomed just after graduation, it's quite timely, haha......."
"Don't make a fuss, what do you think I should do?"
"What else can I do, chase after you if you're handsome, and give up if you're ugly."
"What if it's not ugly or handsome?"
"It's a bit hard, why don't you try flipping a coin?"
"Oh, no kidding, I really like him, but I'm afraid he doesn't like my type, what should I do??"
"Li Xiaoli, as long as you are a person of the opposite sex, it is impossible to resist your temptation, come on, tomorrow's you will be a brand new you with a boyfriend!"
Finally, she still couldn't hold back, "Are you there?" How can I pay you back the money I owe you? "
It didn't take a few seconds for there to be a response: "You don't have to pay it back, please eat." "
That night, they chatted from the college entrance examination to their hometown, from their hometown to Tiannan and Haibei, from Tiannan and Haibei to future planning, and chatted all night, until he fell asleep in a few seconds between holding his mobile phone and waiting for her to reply, and the sky outside was already bright.
In those days, they made an appointment to go shopping together, play together, and eat the most characteristic food in every corner of the city. Their appetites, hobbies, and concepts are surprisingly consistent, as if they have been imperceptibly influenced by each other for a long time, and they have endless words to say to each other, and they can't hide their smiles when they see each other.
At the end of the trip, she plucked up the courage to say to him, "Yu, from the moment I first met you, it was as if I was in love with you."
He said, "Me too!"
They applied to the same university, and she liked to walk with him every way of the school because she wanted to show everyone that he belonged to hers. She likes to keep staring at his face, with stars shining in her eyes, and she doesn't want to look away until her neck is sore, because she thinks he's so handsome, and she doesn't want to miss every little movement of him. She felt that they were destined in their previous lives, and they would be together for the rest of their lives, and they would never be separated.
On that day, the spring flowers bloomed and everything recovered. He said, "Xiaoli, I'll take you somewhere."
He took her to the sea, where the sand was soft, not as hot as in summer, nor as cold as in winter. The sky is water blue and water blue, more transparent than blue, a few soft white clouds are lined with it, and it is very clean. The waves rolled up the milky white foam and hit the feet one by one, tirelessly, he took her hand and closed his eyes to listen to the sound of the waves, she stared at his face blankly, her eyes were misty, and she felt that this scene was so familiar, as if it had been experienced, and so ethereal and distant.
"Rong Xin, I heard that if we write our names on the beach and let the waves carry them into the sea, and then steam them to every corner of the world, then the whole world will know that we are together."
Rong Xin looked at the man in front of her, her face was full of disgust, she didn't want to be with him, it wasn't for her parents who forced her to marry, and she wouldn't marry him if she died.
"He Sheng, I don't love you, marrying you is just the order of my parents, I will live with you, but don't you expect any love?"
She slowly accepted the injustice of fate, and her heart died.
Until that day, she met Shao Li, who wanted to go to the tailor's shop across the street to make some new clothes, but it was raining heavily, so she had to take refuge in a watch shop to avoid the rain.
This watch shop is Shao Li's, he came back from studying abroad to start his own business, which can be regarded as a small achievement. He is known to be avant-garde, and the charm exuded by his body does not know how many women have attracted, anyway, Rong Xin was attracted to him.
"Li Xiaoli, I love you, the sea is the witness, it will bring my heart to every corner of the world, tell the world that I Zheng Yu loves Li Xiaoli."
She looked at him and felt that she was the luckiest person in the world, and that she had met the person who loved her the most in the world.
And love is the most unreliable thing, time can brew love, but it can also dilute it. They gradually began to quarrel, quarreling over trivial things, and finally after a quarrel, he broke up with her, he said: "Li Xiaoli, we are not suitable, don't torture each other anymore, break up."
She loves him, her love is heartbreaking, she loves so much that she has no ego, she begs him bitterly, begging him to give her a chance, she will change herself, she can listen to him in everything.
"He Sheng, shall we get a divorce? Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, I don't want to live my life like this, I also have my own happiness, can you let me go? ”
He Sheng looked at her silently, he didn't know what divorce was, he only knew to divorce his wife, but he didn't want to divorce his wife, he loved his wife, even more than himself.
"Xin'er, don't make trouble, okay, I will be good to you, and I will depend on you for everything. As long as you don't contact that Shao Li anymore, I'll listen to you for everything. ”
"Huh. Do you think it's possible? I love Shao Li, he is my life. Rong Xin glanced at He Sheng coldly, she was really annoyed with this person, why did she stick to herself, wouldn't it be better to find someone who loved him to live?
Li Xiaoli never quarreled with Zheng Yu again, she was afraid of quarreling, because Zheng Yu would break up with her if she quarreled, she couldn't lose him, so no matter how much she was wronged, she could comfort him with a smile.
He likes to eat crabs, and she will peel out the crab meat for him little by little, but she is reluctant to eat it at all. She learns to cook what he likes to eat, and she changes it to him every day. will wash his stinky socks and pinch his legs, but she loves humbly but feels extremely happy.
"Li Xiaoli, can you go shopping in the future without wearing so many clothes with your back exposed? That birthmark on your back is ugly. ”
"Zheng Yu, do you say you dislike me? Are birthmarks any good-looking? How can you still grow into a flower, and besides, you don't have a birthmark on your chest that is similar to mine, and I haven't disliked you yet. Li Xiaoli said this on her lips, but she was beautiful in her heart, she felt that he still cared about her and didn't want her back to be shown to others.
That day, the street at night was flashing with colorful lights, flashing dazzling, the car drove by like flowing water, Li Xiaoli went to the cake shop opposite her home alone to buy egg tarts, she liked the egg tarts of that house, the milk and egg fragrance were just right, and she had to eat them once a week. He has to work overtime, and he has been very busy recently, so she is a little distressed, so she brought dinner and wanted to go to his unit to eat together.
The store is not big, but there are surprisingly many people, there is a long queue in front, and the fragrance of egg tarts wafts down the line to her nose, the fragrance is tempting, and her stomach can't help but growl.
Li Xiaoli envied everyone who walked past her with a big bag of egg tarts, until she saw a figure, a figure she was familiar with and could not be more familiar, it was Zheng Yu, who was carrying a bag of egg tarts and walked in the opposite direction to the house they rented.
She caught up with him and grabbed him by the corner, but couldn't say anything. She thought that he must have left work early and bought her favorite egg tarts, but he had something to go to another place temporarily, but he didn't hide it.
"Li Xiaoli, break up, in fact, I don't love you anymore, I've been with you just because you're good to me, let it go, I'm in love with another person, and we're going to get married."
Li Xiaoli's mind was blank, the future she imagined was happiness with him, he was all her life, but at this moment, she had nothing. For eight years, the love she cared for with her heart turned out to be an ethereal bubble. People say that the saddest thing about love is that one is planning the future, while the other is planning to break up, and that's right.
"He Sheng, please let me go, let me go, one person's happiness is better than two people's pain, with you, none of us will be happy." She cried and begged him, this marriage brought her boundless pain, she didn't love him, she didn't have even the slightest pity, she only hated him.
"Xin'er, I also beg you not to leave me, without you I will have nothing."
"Don't call me Xin'er, this name can only be called by Shao Li!" She stared at him in disgust, she hated to have anything to do with him.
"Okay, Rong Xin, please stay, let's live a good life, everything happened before, okay?" He begged her with pity, but she had nothing but more disgust in her heart.
She said, "I'm leaving, no one can keep me, and even if you die, I won't look back at you."
And she went away, without looking back.
He smiled coldly and took out a dagger, the cold light of the dagger reflected a long arc, bright and a little dazzling.
The dagger stabbed straight into her heart from the back, and the blood flowed uncontrollably, staining the hilt red and staining her clothes.
She turned back and saw his loving eyes, and saw another dagger in his chest.
"We can always be together from now on," he said.
In the past and present life, there is too much helplessness, too much cause and effect, maybe there is no memory, but the mark can never be erased, find out if there are any special traces on your body, maybe it hides the secret of your past life.
