Chapter 2 Holding Your Hand is Like Holding Eternity
In any case, let's go and visit Tutor Xiang, after all, I am the one who has been in charge of teaching me since the first grade, and Yan Qingcheng made such a decision.
He didn't have a class scheduled this afternoon, so he went to the school hospital, but was told that Tutor Xiang had been transferred to Yangxing Medical Center due to the severity of his injuries. He traveled thousands of miles to the medical center by spaceship, but he still did not get his wish, and the medical staff refused to visit him on the grounds that the injured were not out of danger and were not suitable for contact with outsiders.
Yan Qingcheng, who was sitting on the spaceship returning to the academy, felt that he was unlucky today, he was late for class in the morning, the beautiful girl disappeared inexplicably, and he was turned away from even visiting his tutor.
He leaned on the window and watched the scenery outside the window pass by, his eyes were a little confused.
"Ah, I haven't even seen the last ......" Yan Qingcheng was a little tired, and blurted out the words without passing through his brain, which made his heart jump sharply, and he raised his head and looked around.
The cabin was empty, and no one was around him. Yangxing Medical Center is independent of the planet's teaching park, residential area, and central business district, so this spaceship is actually a special flight, and it will only be issued if someone applies for it, and Yan Qingcheng is the only one who takes this flight at this time.
"In other words, I really said that sentence just now?" Yan Qingcheng was very shocked by this, he was not a cold-blooded person, although he seemed withdrawn and indifferent, but due to the lack of love since childhood, he hated that other people had the same experience as him, so he tried to be gentle with everyone, but tried not to show it.
Hoping that it was a crow's mouth, Yan Qingcheng slapped his lips. He is an atheist, so he can only hope that the medical center can save Mentor Xiang, but due to the highly developed science and technology, there is a consensus in the human medical community today that if a person is put into an emergency medical tank alive, then all the mythical Grim Reapers' gathering together will not be able to take his life.
It took a lot of time to return to the academy from the medical center, and it was close to seven o'clock in the evening, Yan Qingcheng was very tired, this day was obviously a long day for him, and the evening had a very important task.
The spaceship was docked on the periphery of the teaching area, Yan Qingcheng looked at the huge academy leader and sighed long, and walked slowly in the direction of the apartment area with his shoulders down.
Just regulate your emotions, Yan Qingcheng finally walked outside the maple forest, stretched hard, thinking that a walk in the forest could relieve a lot of mental pressure. The teaching and apartment areas of the college are separated by this beautiful maple forest, and due to the fact that the college is not flying today, the only way back to the apartment area is a kilometer-long maple leaf-leaved path. Suddenly, he noticed a slender figure at the exit of the Maple Leaf Trail.
The black ribbon tattooed with bright red flowers is the girl in the morning!
The girl stood quietly under the maple tree at the crossing, looking sideways at the path. The cool evening breeze brought up her white dress, revealing a pair of white calves, which shook Qingcheng and blushed a little.
Are you waiting for someone, or are you afraid to go alone because you're afraid? Yan Qingcheng thought that the academy was completely banned from flying today, it had been a while since the sun set, and the lighting in the maple forest had always been dim, and it was indeed a challenge for a lonely girl to cross the path and return to the apartment area at such a time.
Yan Qingcheng wanted to ignore the girl, but for some reason there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart that affected him, making him unable to make up his mind. He took a deep breath and walked towards the girl, he had missed the opportunity in the morning, and if he hesitated this time, he would be damned.
"Who are you waiting for?" As he approached the maiden, he deliberately stepped on footsteps and spoke to her in the gentlest voice possible.
The girl looked back at Yan Qingcheng, she lowered her head slightly, her forehead hair covered her gaze, Yan Qingcheng didn't see her eyes, but she felt uncomfortable as if she had been swept by a laser for a moment. After a long time, the girl looked away and shook her head.
"Then do you want to go back together, I will feel uneasy when I walk alone at night." Yan Qingcheng was worried that the girl would be afraid, so he told a little lie. The roots of his ears were red, but not noticeable in the dim light.
The girl shifted her gaze again, and this time she looked up to meet his.
The beautiful eyes seem to be full of stars, but the eyes are too bland, and there is no vitality of a young girl at all. Yan Qingcheng was embarrassed by the girl's eyes, and began to think about weaving some words of farewell.
"Hmm." Before Yan Qingcheng was about to say that she was sorry to disturb, the girl replied softly and reached out her right hand in front of him.
Yan Qingcheng's efforts to keep her breathing evenly were disrupted in an instant, what did this mean, was it to hold her hand? If there was nothing wrong with his memory, he and the girl should not have crossed paths before today, but why did this strange girl make this pose to him? Does this pose mean anything other than asking for a hand? It would be embarrassing if you were wrong!
But he couldn't let the girl just hang her hand in front of her, Yan Qingcheng gritted her teeth, stretched out her left hand and wrapped the girl's fingertips.
The coldness, felt the moment it was touched, as if it was about to pierce the bones through the skin, and it was hard to imagine how long the girl had been standing in this place.
Yan Qingcheng felt a little distressed, and added a little force to his left hand, trying to transmit the temperature of his palm to the girl.
After about half a minute, the coolness of the girl's fingertips melted in his hands, replaced by a trace of softness, Yan Qingcheng had never held hands with the girl seriously, so he didn't know how to evaluate this touch, but he felt very relieved.
"So, let's go." He said to the girl.
The girl kept her head down and didn't respond, but Yan Qingcheng pulled her, and she still followed.
The two walked slowly on the path, at first Yan Qingcheng was still carefully adjusting his pace to try to match the girl's rhythm, but then found that there was no need for this, and the girl herself could fit him perfectly.
The sky was completely dark, and Yan Qingcheng didn't know whether to use words to dispel the girl's possible fears, but he had never felt that the girl's breathing and pace were chaotic, so he never had a chance to speak.
The two of them remained silent, the dim light flickered on and off like a candle in the wind, the sound of the night wind disappeared, the chirping of insects disappeared, and gradually, the sound of leaves being trampled on the soles of their feet also disappeared, and the shadowy maple trees on both sides turned into human figures, and bowed to the boy and girl with their hands on their chests. The two are like a couple painted on a picture scroll, cherishing every step in silence.
Yan Qingcheng felt a little trance, this scene seemed familiar, as if thousands of years ago he was also leading the same girl on the same road, the same, looking forward to the endless future.
But the path in the fantasy world finally came to an end, and after the last step, the girl disappeared, the figure disappeared, and the quiet atmosphere disappeared. In its place, there are boundless wars, mountains and flames, roars that break through the clouds, and the vicissitudes of fighting alone.
"Alas......" Yan Qingcheng felt himself sigh long, but there was obviously no reason to do so.
"Here we are." The girl's flat voice pulled him back to reality, and Yan Qingcheng realized that they had left the maple forest, and the thousand-meter maple leaf path seemed to be traveling in a dream.
Is that real? He let go of his left hand and was about to say something, but the girl turned and walked away.
"Stay safe!" Yan Qingcheng shouted at the girl's back, but the girl did not respond to him.
What a strange girl, he watched the girl fade away, and finally disappeared into the darkness, and it felt out of reach even in the morning, but she was close at all.
Thinking of this, Yan Qingcheng put a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, turned his head and walked towards his apartment.
