Chapter 16: The Invisible Knot
As a class with only a dozen students, there is only one teacher in this class, Wang Qian, so after Lin Yali left with all the students, Tong Xiaofeng and Wang Qian started one-on-one tutoring.
Wang Qian expressed great satisfaction in the face of this studious baby, you must know that he used to be known as an all-round teacher, but since he was assigned to this monster class, there is almost no place to show his talent, and now he has the opportunity to tutor alone.
Time passed quickly, and the day passed in a hurry. Although no one in the class was making Tong Xiaofeng feel a little uncomfortable, it could be regarded as a serious one-day class.
Wang Qian is also extremely satisfied, he hasn't felt the atmosphere of being a teacher for a long time, and he originally wanted to give a rare assignment but was rejected. In fact, Tong Xiaofeng is not to blame, he really has no energy to put his mind on homework. When the school bell rang, he took steps like an athlete in a 100-meter race and rushed out of the classroom, leaving Wang Qian alone to stand in place.
Tong Xiaofeng's destination was not to go home, he was standing on that shore at the moment, looking forward to the figure of the girl being able to appear here again. It's a pity that good wishes are often cruel in reality, and he didn't find the person he was looking for. On this coast are only tourists and fishermen returning from the sea.
The orange sunset began to scorch the sea, and the two rounds of red sun stung Tong Xiaofeng's eyes. Turning his head to look at the tourists and fishermen who left the beach one by one, Tong Xiaofeng showed a touch of sadness. The city is so big, except here, he really doesn't know where to go to find Tong Xiaoyu.
A relatively clean reef in front of him caught his eye, and it became his temporary base, and he sat on it and looked out to sea in the distance.
It's been a week since the last time we were on shore, probably the longest interval in two years. He wanted to stay here a little longer, and perhaps when night fell, the maiden would appear and bring him hope again as a god, just like that rainy night.
Tong Xiaofeng took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found his mother's number in the contact column and dialed it. Soon the number was dialed, and from the other end of the phone came Tong Li's anxious voice.
"Xiaofeng, where are you now, why haven't you returned home yet. ”
"Mom, I plan to go home a little later tonight, you can eat dinner first, I'll wait for Xiaoyu to come back." ”
Hearing Tong Xiaofeng's words, Tong Li also guessed where he was, although she had promised not to stop Tong Xiaofeng from going to find her sister, she still felt a trace of sourness welling up in her heart.
Silly boy, you can't find her, it's not the distance between the new city and the old city, but a war, a war that is difficult to end. Of course, it was impossible for Tong Li to say this, she could only hide it silently in her heart, even if it was painful.
"Okay, I'll put the food in the cooler, and remember to eat it when you come back." ”
Her voice became a little trembling, and Tong Xiaofeng could feel the shaking in her heart even through the mobile phone.
Tong Li blamed herself a little, looking at Tong Xiaofeng, who was sinking day by day, her heart became more and more hesitant, whether this lie should continue, and whether the end of the road was light or dark. Perhaps this is the root of the sin.
It's terrible to be kept in the dark because you don't know how much pain your loved one is suffering.
Tong Xiaofeng hung up his phone and sighed silently, looking at the darkness that was gradually falling, countless troubles began to invade him, as if to take him out of this world.
He was not stupid, he knew that Lin Yali and Tong Li didn't really want him to go to his sister, but when he was in front of them, he had to pretend that he didn't know everything and follow the route they had designed, so that he wouldn't hurt them.
On the street in the distance, Lin Yali was looking at him, this distance was nothing to the gods, and she could clearly see Tong Xiaofeng's sadness.
"If we had known that emotions were more painful than death, the gods should not have chosen to be humans. ”
Although she said so, Lin Yali was nostalgic for life before the war started, when they frolicked together, grew up together, and used jokes to take advantage of each other. It's just a trivial thing, but I don't want to forget it. Perhaps this is what the gods dream of pursuing, the thing called ordinary.
The sea breeze was salty, like the smell of tears, which made Lin Yali resist breathing a little, because the air was filled with sadness and pain, and the memories that made the gods leave tears.
"Is there a perfect ending in this world?"
She wanted to hear someone answer yes, but she knew that the truly perfect thing never existed in this world, it only existed in dreams and fantasies, and now she could only make the result better by feeling, so that everyone's tears could be shed less.
In the mountains behind the ancient city, a young girl sat quietly by the stream, her haggard face reflected in the water.
The wind blew from the other side of the stream, and the ripples that swept across the water were as difficult to calm as the undulating waves in a girl's heart.
The night was cold, and only the endless chirping of insects in the mountains could bring her some fun.
Perhaps feeling a little bored, the girl picked up a stone and threw it into the stream, and the splash floated in the air as her divine power was released. After her careful control, the splash slowly gathered and finally condensed into a human face.
It was a young man's face, looking a little handsome, and even the night insects were attracted by this wonderful sight and slowly started their unique performance.
"You know, this is my brother and the person I love the most. ”
As if to prove something, the girl slowly approached her head and gently pressed her lips against the face of the splash. The feeling of ice and ice is like reliving what was done on that rainy night.
When her lips left, the face instantly crumbled and fell into the stream. The loud sound seemed to scare the night bugs, and the song stopped for a moment.
"Now that's all I can see him, it's obviously my own decision. ”
A line of tears flowed from the god's eyes, as if he were complaining about himself.
Now that she is alone, she must quickly wipe away her tears, it is essential for her to be strong until the end of this war.
In this night, people, gods, and supernatural beings all express their sorrow in their own way, and an invisible thread entangles them together. This is perhaps the most difficult knot in the world to unravel.
