Chapter 1: When Love Becomes Thick
At the end of summer, the weather is getting cooler, but the air is still a little stuffy, and the kapok is no longer so bright red, but it is still so beautiful to look at. Yin Yichen always likes to miss the past in his spare time, and the quarrel when he first met is so happy in his current self.
In the car wash, the back of a young man is already soaked in the sun, in fact, this is the most obvious place where the contrast between rich and poor is most obvious, the people who come here to wash the car are people of status, in contrast, those who wash the car are people who rely on coolies to eat.
"Yin Yichen, come over to me." A slightly chubby man shouted at the busy workers, he was dressed differently from those people, and there were no beads of sweat on his face from busyness, indicating that he was the manager here.
"Manager Shan, is there anything wrong?" The man named Yin Yichen was called by him as soon as he finished wiping a car, and his face could still see the exhaustion after work, and he trotted to the manager's side, he raised his head and didn't dare to get too close to the other party.
I saw Manager Shan covering his mouth and nose in disgust and looking up and down, such an action made people a little angry.
But Yin Yichen didn't, he wasn't like this before, but 10 years of time has exhausted his sharpness back then, and now he is just a car washer living at the bottom of the society, his handsome short hair is now not so much effort to take care of because he is busy, and the handsome face that once fascinated thousands of girls is also dyed with a tired and haggard color, and the peach blossom eyes that made girls fall in love at first sight now seem to have no light, and they look so pale and powerless.
"That's right, the head office just sent someone to send you this." Saying that, Manager Shan took out an invitation, the bright red color deeply stung Yin Yichen's heart under the refraction of the sun, this day finally came, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile, his body froze at that moment, with tears in his eyes, and his heart felt a sharp pain, he slowly took the invitation, trembling and opened it, and what caught his eye was the wedding photo of the newlyweds,
"Oh, and you will be granted three days off, and your salary will be counted during this period." With that, he walked back to the break room.
Yin Yichen stayed in place and stared at the girl in the photo, with tears in his eyes, we still didn't walk together after all, his painful voice sounded softly, and after a long time, he walked out of the car wash as if his soul had been pulled out of his body.
At the gate, he saw a girl in a long white dress, in order not to make himself look too embarrassed, Yin Yichen sorted out his emotions and behaved very relaxed, he approached the girl step by step, she still likes to wear white dresses as she did at the beginning,
"I... I'm going to get married" This sentence made him walk step by step, and he couldn't move forward anymore, and could only stop showing a wry smile that stinged the girl's heart.
“... Congratulations! It's just that I met you in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I never thought that you would always appear in my dreams after that. When those clear eyes meet my eyes, I know that you will be my eternal bond in this life. My heart accelerates because of you, and my eyes follow you. ”
Yin Yichen smiled at her and said, that kind of smile is bitter, and this girl is Shen Linxi, her eyes flickered, she didn't dare to look at him directly, after all, she was the one who lost him in this life, listening to his words, many girls would be moved when they thought about it, but Shen Linxi could only turn her back and wipe her tears,
"At that time, you have always rejected me, and you are a thousand miles away from anyone, and this is what you attract my attention, and now I am an ordinary worker in the crowd, I think, our distance is shown at this moment! However, I am reluctant to put away my gaze, I know the distance between us, but I don't care, I just want to look at you silently, this is my persistence. ”
These words have been deposited in his heart for a long time, indeed, the distance between them is not just 2 meters apart between the two at the moment, but identity and heart.
His words contained his own pain, but even so, he was willing to wait stupidly, the corners of Shen Linxi's eyes were red, could they really never go back?
"Anyway, I hope you can spend your days as carefree as before." As she said this, she rubbed her palms against each other,
"No, I can't go back after ten years of spending a long time with you." He smiled at Shen Linxi's trembling back in the sun, maybe he could have stepped forward to give her a warm embrace in the past, but who is he to her now?
Yin Yichen sighed softly, walked towards her, every step was slow and lonely, looking at the sky, everything she said would change in the past ten years, indeed, we have all changed, it is this change that prompted you and me to come to an end, he thought desperately in his heart, her smile appeared in the sky - so beautiful...
Ten years, or twenty years, are just caused by this initial encounter, and then I don't know whose feelings were the first to get out of control...
The boy raised his head and looked at a kapok tree in front of him, which bloomed bright red flowers, so it was kapok, and suddenly. Slowly walked to the girl who was squatting there, and smiled: "You like this kapok, why don't you buy it?" The girl stood up and said silently: "If it was before, my father would not hesitate to buy a lot of it for me, but now that he is gone, my family's economy is not enough to support me to buy it, even if it is only one." ”
The girl did not turn to look at the boy, but still looked at the flower: "I like it a lot. The girl's eyes were covered with a thin mist, as if the tears were about to burst through her eyelids and flow down uncontrollably. The young man looked at her side face, sighed slightly, put a kapok tree he had bought in front of her eyes, and said lightly: "Flowers with beauty!" ”
The girl was startled, and looked at the kapok, which exuded a fragrance that was not very strong but intoxicating enough, and their color was like blood. Its beauty is so bleak, so vibrating.
The girl noticed the boy, who was a very sunny and handsome face, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on his inky hair, dotted with sparkling shadows, as if he had come out of a comic.
The girl gently kissed these newly blooming kapok, and said for a while, "Dad said that this is not good!" ”
The girl put the flower in the boy's arms, and the flower that she kissed seemed to be human, swaying gently, as if saying goodbye to her. The boy stood up and said, "Wait for me for a while, okay?" The girl was still staring at the flower, as if she had not heard the boy say.
She looked at the kapok tree for a long time until it was taken away, and the girl's heart hurt as if it had been pricked by a needle.
She shook her head, "You don't belong to me in the first place. "Turn around and leave." Wait, don't you want that kapok" The girl turned her head blankly, only to see that the boy was still holding the kapok, unlike just now, this one was orange with a faint yellow, and a blue pendant was tied at the end of the bouquet, which looked really beautiful.
The girl stood in place, and her heart was more joyful.
The boy approached her, and the girl turned around. "You ......," the girl looked at the boy suspiciously.
"Here you go, the kapok you like." The boy smiled, and the girl was slightly stunned. In this way, they "met", and the girl told him that her name was "Mu Xi", and this name was given to her by her mother, to be precise, she had two names. The boy proudly said his English name, Henry.
Memory returned to reality, we are no longer us, Yin Yichen walked past Shen Linxi's side without pause, he told himself to be silent.
"Wait a minute, I didn't drive today, I guess we can ride the bus together again?" Shen Linxi couldn't help grabbing Yin Yichen's arm, and the tears in the corners of his eyes made Yin Yichen unable to refuse.
"Let's go!" Yin Yichen walked in front of her, and they didn't speak along the way, afraid that they would reveal their hearts as soon as they opened their mouths.
When he was about to arrive at the bus stop, Shen Linxi said "I'm sorry" again, and Yin Yichen stopped in place,
"I don't want your sorry, I'm sure you knew what I really wanted a long time ago, but you didn't even give me a promise." No one spoke for a long time, and this awkward situation has become common since becoming a stranger. Looking back on the time when they were in their senior year of high school, the time of-for-tat was actually much better than now, time always took away the youth, leaving only those memories that are worth remembering but tearing people's hearts.
When you are in love, you can care about nothing. As long as you want, as long as I have, because I love you, I will. Once the feelings have calmed down, there will be a series of calculations in my heart, why do I pay more than you; Why should I give you anything, but you have to hide? If you can go, it is the hand of the son, and if you can't go, you can only remember the beginning.
The bus on the road passed through wave after wave, and the two of them stopped in place, "Let's go, since you are willing to let go, don't easily recall those memories." Yin Yichen said flatly, with her back to Shen Linxi, she couldn't see his reluctance.
She smiled bitterly, without the beauty she had just glowed. She knew how beautiful the pendant was when she took off the blue pendant on her wrist, but unfortunately the familiar smell was still there, but it no longer belonged to her. What's the use of fantasizing? It turns out that happiness does not belong to oneself, and it is so predicting the suffocation of death. If fate is like this, what can I do?
I don't know when, her mobile phone rang, and such a harmonious music was so sad in her ears, indicating the suffocation of parting. Kapok does not belong to her...... All the good things don't belong to her.
Shen Linxi, who was in pain, couldn't bear it anymore, and tears slid down...... She refused to answer, and walked gently towards Yin Yichen's back.
