Chapter 109: Belated Spring
The reflection in the water seemed to be smiling, this expression seemed to Liu Mengchao to be a little stiff, but it was indeed a human expression. Does his brother Chu Zhi really have human feelings?
Thinking of this, even Liu Mengchao himself felt a little surprised.
"There's nothing surprising," the reflection in the water seemed to sense the surprised look in Liu Mengchao's heart, and smiled, "If you want, I'd like to talk to you." β
Talk about it?
Is it always so reckless to come and talk to yourself?
Liu Mengchao looked at the reflection in the water, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning. He was smiling, because he had never seen such a Chu Zhi before, very kind, but with a hint of expectation. Yes, it's not Liu Mengchao's expectation, but the reflection in the water, with an expectant expression on his face.
"What to talk about? I'll keep trading. β
"No, it's not a deal."
Chu Zhi in the water shook his head slightly.
This kind of scene is very unique, a person speaks to his reflection in the water, and the reflection in the water actually follows and replies to him.
At this time, the moonlight in the sky was clear, like a thin veil, falling from the sky and draping over everyone's shoulders. Liu Mengchao had a smile in his eyebrows, smiling and looking at the person in front of him, as if he was watching an interesting and unique picture. This makes people can't help but feel a sense of intimacy in their hearts.
He didn't lie to me.
Liu Mengchao can detect whether everyone is telling a lie or telling the truth. Just looking at Chu Zhi's expression on the surface of the water, Liu Mengchao was 100% sure, but Chu Zhi was seriously talking about his thoughts. He wanted to talk to himself, although he didn't know what Chu Zhi wanted to talk about, but Liu Mengchao knew that there would inevitably be a conversation between the two of them, and a period that could determine the future. Decide a qiΔ conversation.
"Now?"
Liu Mengchao simply sat down, he tilted his head, and the starlight fell on Liu Mengchao's face with the moonlight. The breeze that blew from nowhere swirled, gently rolled up the fallen leaves, and danced beside Liu Mengchao. Liu Mengchao slowly narrowed his eyes, feeling the silence in the air at this moment, and even his mind began to become quiet.
"Yes, right now."
Chu Zhi on the surface of the water also seemed to be able to feel the environment Liu Mengchao was in now, and the expression on his face began to soften and subtle. He seemed to be smiling, but he looked like he was reminiscing. I don't know in the heart of this man who once didn't have the slightest feeling. What kind of feelings are hidden?
After the nightingale sang the third serenade, Liu Mengchao finally nodded slowly and agreed to this conversation.
Looking at Liu Mengchao's slight bowing movements, Chu Zhi's face couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
In the blink of an eye, the surface of the water began to ripple in circles and circles. The sparkling surface of the water reflecting the moonlight seemed to be accompanied by the singing of the nightingale, and began to become gentle.
"Come on!"
A hand crossed the water and came to Liu Mengchao. Liu Mengchao looked at this hand, in the palm of his hand. But it is the palm pattern that I am very familiar with. Looking at people is like looking at Liu Mengchao with palm prints, and for the first time I feel that I may not be able to read a person's heart. Liu Mengchao, who didn't know what expression to make, nodded subconsciously and slowly stretched out his palm.
Under the night sky. The wind was so light that even the moonlight and starlight became soft. Liu Mengchao's hand held Chu Zhi's hand, and the eyes of the two of them looked at the eyes that were exactly the same as their own, and they smiled in unison. Then they nodded in unison.
Crash!
With a soft sound, the water splashed in the starlight, and Liu Mengchao's figure disappeared under the night sky. He never seemed to be seen in the moonlight. It seems that these starlights have never been draped on Liu Mengchao's shoulders.
He's gone.
But the reflection in the water still remains, reflecting the shallow moonlight in the sky, accompanied by a little starlight lingering in this quiet night. When it was quiet, even the surface of the water began to become calm, and only the night was left reflected on the surface of the water.
In the heavens and in the water, there seem to be two identical worlds.
In both worlds there was a bright moonlight, a twinkling star, a treetop tossed by the night wind, and a nightingale standing on a branch and singing softly.
I don't know how many songs this nightingale sang, I don't know how many nightwinds blew through the treetops, and in the quiet night sky, suddenly a voice with a smile came out.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, my brother, Liu Mengchao."
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
When Liu Mengchao opened his eyes again, a new world appeared in front of him. No, it would be irresponsible to say that the world is completely new.
Liu Mengchao gently rubbed his eyes, looking at the scene that appeared in front of him with some surprise.
The same clear and soft moonlight, the same woods swaying slowly in the night, the same bright and graceful nightingale singing. Such a world seems to be exactly the same as the world he had just talked to Chu Zhi.
Did you just have a dream?
Liu Mengchao subconsciously asked himself. Is it because I was under too much mental pressure that I finally hallucinated, so I saw that kind of scenery?
"Of course not a hallucination."
Just when Liu Mengchao was uncertain, the sound of laughter sounded in Liu Mengchao's ears. Liu Mengchao subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, but saw a person who was exactly like himself looking at him with a smile. That person Liu Mengchao is too familiar.
It is Chu Zhi who was created by humans like himself, but is completely different from himself. I have feelings that ordinary people can't reach, I can feel the most subtle expressions of every inch of each person, and I can understand the deepest feelings hidden in everyone's heart.
But the person in front of him, this man named Chu Zhi. He was an emotionless man, and it might be cruel to say that, but it was true. Chu Zhi had never experienced feelings, he didn't know what laughter was, and he didn't know what it was for crying, even if others were ecstatic in their hearts. He just looked at the man's smiling face indifferently.
The so-called feelings have always been just the product of a long number and a long reasoning and proof. If a person's emotional world is colorful, then Chu Zhi's world is a silent black-and-white movie, and even the sound is extremely precious.
Looking at the face that was exactly the same as himself, I don't know why, but a trace of pity appeared in Liu Mengchao's heart. If you put yourself in your shoes and change your identity and become Chu Zhi, I am afraid that you will already become crazy and unknowing.
"But it's different anymore." Looking at Liu Mengchao's eyes, Chu Zhi smiled. He was still a little stiff when he laughed. Before the corners of his mouth could be raised, a smile had already rippled from his eyes. It's just that he seems to be really happy, very happy.
People who have never seen color come out of the black and white world for the first time, I'm afraid they will be the same as Chu Zhi, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao seemed to be able to understand Chu Zhi's mood.
"Look at the top of our heads."
At this moment, Chu Zhi said with a smile. I saw him looking up at the sky. The starlight was brewing in his eyes at this moment.
"I used to look at the stars in the sky and look at the moon in the sky. Looking at this night, I can only think of a few jΓΉ in my mind. The origin of the stars is nothing more than a distant planet, the so-called moonlight. It's nothing more than the so-called solar reflection. I saw a qiΔ by myself, and there really wasn't any temperature. β
Chu Zhi said slowly, but he had already walked in front of Liu Mengchao. He said with a smile, but the man was already sitting cross-legged. Thin grass underneath him. It's like a thin blanket. The twinkling starlight draped over his shoulders like a light veil.
"I never knew, I just looked at the stars in the sky. Looking at the moon in the sky and feeling the breeze blowing in your ears makes you feel so happy. β
Chu Zhi said slowly, but his face was already full of smiles. I saw him slowly stretch out his hand, as if receiving the starlight scattered from the sky. He slowly lowered his head and stared at the dew on the grass.
Those dewdrops were crystal clear under the starlight, but these starlights seemed to leak through Chu Zhi's fingers. I don't know why, Liu Mengchao just looked at the expression on Chu Zhi's face, and a feeling of harmony rose in his heart.
"Amazing, isn't it? If a person has feelings, the world seems to really change colors. Chu Zhi said with a smile, with an indescribable smile in his eyes, but it seemed as if he was waiting for Liu Mengchao's answer, and seemed to be talking about the experiences he had thought he would never get.
He spoke slowly, but carefully.
"Sometimes I even wonder if I've been through so much is this what I'm after." Chu Zhi said slowly, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes. I saw Chu Zhi raise his head and look at Liu Mengchao's eyes, waiting for his brother's answer.
Reply? So what should I say?
Liu Mengchao seemed a little confused for a while, he sat down directly and sat in front of Chu Zhi. The two brothers sat facing each other, the moonlight and starlight swaying freely beside the two brothers, and the breeze and the chanting of the nightingale also lingered around them.
A qiΔ is like the most beautiful picture scroll, no one can bear to break it. Only the starlight is like flowing water, passing quietly under this moonlight.
"Is that your answer?"
After a long time, Chu Zhi asked with a smile in his eyes.
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth pulled up slightly, and he nodded with a smile rippling in his eyes.
"I don't understand." Chu Zhi shook his head slightly, but also nodded with a smile.
"Feelings are inexplicable things." Liu Mengchao said with a smile, there seemed to be endless words hidden in his eyes, but it seemed that he had already said everything he wanted to say clearly in just a few words.
"Only after experiencing it will you know what feelings are." Liu Mengchao leaned down, spread out his palm to let a drop of crystal dew fall on his palm, and then said with a smile, "Just like this drop of dew, only when it is illuminated by the moonlight, it will become clear and transparent." β
Chu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then leaned down like Liu Mengchao and took a drop of dew from the grass. The drop of dew was so soft, yet it seemed so easy to disappear.
Suddenly, the moonlight sprinkled on this drop of dew, and the refracted light was colorful, as if it were another world.
"I see it."
Chu Zhi slowly raised his head and said to Liu Mengchao with a smile.
I saw what I wanted, and I felt what I wanted. The smile on Chu Zhi's face, which was originally a little stiff, finally became agile at this moment. It is as if the snow in the deep mountains has been melted by the spring breeze blowing from nowhere, turning into a trickling spring that flows down the winding and rugged mountain road towards the sea.
Tick!
With a soft sound, Liu Mengchao noticed that Chu Zhi had two lines of tears left on his face. It was only at this time that Liu Mengchao finally reacted, and this snow-capped mountain that had been unmelting for years finally ushered in spring. (To be continued......)
