Chapter 66: This Love Has No Failure
Just as the Bodhisattva said in his dream.
Cao Aiqing actually knew the answers to some questions for a long time, but only when He Tianran said it himself, everything could be regarded as settled.
Now, Cao Aiqing has finally waited for the answer she wants, but she is not as sad as she imagined.
Because He Tianran still chose to be honest with her, he didn't go against his heart, let alone lie to himself.
Cao Aiqing's gaze crossed the calm lake and stared unconsciously at somewhere, and He Tianran looked at those eyes, unable to guess what she was thinking.
Then the girl muttered:
"Natural, you say...... Why is that? ”
“…… It's the wrong order of appearances in life. He Tianran endured the pain in his heart and hit the nail on the head: "Ai Qing, if I fell in love with you first, then today's question was replaced by Wen Liang and asked me, and I would answer it the same way." ”
"What if we could do it all over again?"
"What?"
Cao Aiqing slowly took out the string of Buddhist beads, looking slightly tired.
He Tiantian's heart tightened, he stared at the string of Buddha beads, his expression changed from uneasy and tangled, to calm and steady.
His heart was struggling, and after experiencing two crossovers, He Tianran knew that their lives might have more opportunities to start over than ordinary people, which was certainly something that others dreamed of and longed for.
However, every thought and every behavior after crossing will continue to produce new problems, just like the string of Buddhist beads, although the meaning is perfect, but each of the prayer beads also constitutes the hundred and eight troubles of greed, hatred, foolishness, slowness, and doubt in the world.
He didn't want Cao Aiqing to use the power of this string of Buddhist beads, he finally got a little bit of the so-called "reincarnation", he didn't want to give up his efforts, and he didn't want Cao Aiqing to repeat his mistakes, but it was exactly like this, he was also the most unqualified person to dissuade Cao Aiqing.
I can let September come back again because of the warmth, so why can't Cao Aiqing?
He Tianran stopped talking, and finally returned to calm, he waited for Cao Aiqing to speak again, like a prisoner on trial, waiting for the moment when the gavel was struck.
"Naturally, do you know much about the future me?"
Suddenly, He Tianran heard the girl ask in surprise.
"She's ...... Very bad. ”
"And what do you think of me?"
He Tianran was like a fish in his throat, speechless.
Cao Aiqing continued to ask: "Naturally, when we were not together, did you use it?" ”
He Tianran shook his head categorically, "No." ”
"I knew that otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to let me face that Xia Qiao's coercion alone."
"Of course I won't!"
After the man said this, he also shook himself.
He suddenly thought that in fact, that time, Cao Aiqing didn't need Guo Huai or her own help at all, because she already had the courage to break the boat.
On the contrary, it was they, one who became a burden to her future, and became constrained for the sake of gratitude; And the other, who protected her under her wings, has always covered her own dazzling brilliance.
Cao Aiqing stared at the Buddha beads in her hand, and smiled gently:
"Naturally, in fact, you are wrong, the order of appearance between me and Wen Liang is right.
If I did go back, I might not be able to do what Wen Liang did for you, and in this regard, I am just inferior to her......
If I do take her place in your heart, even if I still love you, I may lead you to another path, and then you may not discover your artistic talent, and you may not do what you really want to do as you do now.
And in that case, are we meeting too soon?
I met Guo Huai just now, he was worried about changing majors, and he said that he was very envious of us, because we are the kind of people who are assertive and have a plan for the future.
I think this impression must also have a warm part of the credit for you! I'm really lucky to have met you like this......
By the way, do you remember the kind of correction fluid we would use when we made a mistake in our homework? ”
He Tianran listened to her words, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he recalled:
"Of course I remember, at that time, we were not with Bai Tingting and Xue Yong, and we often studied together, at that time, you praised me for writing well, let me explain the skills to you, hey, whenever I bragged to you that this was a talent, you looked at me with admiration, and in the end I was a little inflated......
Actually, I also envy you, the handwriting is very good, and you never write a typo, you said that you can use a bottle of correction solution for three years, but when you come to me, you can't hold it for three months, so I use it up. ”
Cao Aiqing stood up with his hands behind his back, and turned his head to look at the lake:
"Do you know why you're using it so fast?"
"Why?"
The girl glanced at him, curled the corners of her mouth, and reproached:
"You, always like to write mistakes, and don't check, sometimes the 'land' is not divided, at the beginning I said you, you like to write something to be coherent words, and old-fashioned Hengqiu said something, word error, the text is good, enough.
But the teacher won't think so, the paper points that should be deducted still have to be deducted, and the details of the 60-point essay, 55 points and 58 points are in this.
I said that you don't listen, I'm angry, so I can only change the strategy, just praise you, change your sentence with a typo, to your sentence is really well written, I didn't expect you to really eat this set, show off that you found some failures, can write better, and then take my correction fluid to change it, I didn't expect this time, the volume points are deducted more, I regret it......"
He Tianran listened to his girlfriend's memories, and he laughed, but he smiled and smiled, and felt that this was not a taste.
Cao Aiqing was also laughing, but her smile at the moment made He Tianran a hundred times more uncomfortable than seeing her cry.
After the girl finished speaking, she withdrew her gaze, she turned around, stretched out her hand, spread her palm to reveal the Buddha beads, and said softly in the autumn breeze of Pinghu in her voice:
"Naturally, you know, this thing, it's like the correction fluid of our lives, and we all want to get those typos out word by word......
But...... I'm not you...... I'm not cool either...... I can't brew some resonant and unforgettable sentences on the basis of the original...... I can only write along my train of thought...... As many points as it should be......
Naturally, during this time we spent together, I took it seriously and happily to put down the pen, and what I wrote out was also the sincerity of the pen and the providence of the pen......
I can't use this modification liquid, and I can't use it, maybe I'm stupid, or maybe I'm stubborn, just because until now, I firmly believe that this youth between me and you is not a failure! ”
After that, Cao Aiqing turned around without any nostalgia, she raised her hand, and in He Tianran's shocked gaze, she resolutely threw the string of treasures in her hand that countless people could not pray for in their dreams into the center of the lake like a piece of cake!
Would life be better if it could be done all over again?
The girl's answer was that she had the best, even if she had it before.
She didn't need to be better.
Just as she had cut off her long hair then, now, once again, she was desperate and chose to save herself.
The extraordinary Buddha beads entered the water, and the ordinary world bloomed into the lotus.
Cao Aiqing still had tears in the corners of her eyes, but she smiled on her face, and said slowly:
"Natural, thank you ......"
He Tianran staggered to his feet, his eyes lost his eyes and looked at the circles of ripples in the middle of the water, and then looked at the girl beside him, his heart was like a knife, and he was embarrassed......
The girl by the lake walked up to the helpless young man, slowly put her head on his chest, and hugged He Tianran, whom she still admired, with both hands.
She whispered, "Let's break up." ”
In the lake, the reflection of their embrace, with the sparkling waves, became fragmented.
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" He Tianran opened his mouth, his jaw trembled, and he wanted to say a lot, but at this moment, all the thousand words were turned into three words that were repeated again and again through his gradually hoarse and obscure voice: "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
His hands hugged the girl tightly, as if he could hold the last light of their love, and his tears finally burst out of his eyes, falling on the girl's shoulders......
He finally cried.
It's just that girls now don't need tears anymore.
He Tianran...... You're going to suffer as much as I do...... It's an apology......"
A sentence that seemed to sigh and whispered came into He Tianran's ears, and the "I'm sorry" he kept repeating came to an abrupt end in an instant, and the army collapsed.
Cao Aiqing put down his clasped hands, gently pushed the young man away, took two steps back, and looked at him deeply.
In the end, with the same determination on his face as when he discarded the beads, he turned around and left.
The delicate and independent back gradually drifted away until it disappeared within the reach of He Tianran's gaze.
He stood there for a long time.
In the distance, there is only a little afterglow left.
The man sat back on the stone bench and looked at the afterglow, but the remnant sun had long since lost its temperature.
He unconsciously groped for a shriveled cigarette case from his pocket, and with great difficulty poured out the only crumpled cigarette, he flattened his fingers and put it in his mouth, lit the fire, took a deep breath, and his body seemed to be drained of strength, and slowly collapsed on the stone bench, he tilted his head weakly, and spewed out a cloud of white mist.
Then, with moist eyes, he watched the fog dissipate little by little.
