Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Golden Hour (Part II)

If you put aside the external factor of appearance, He Tianran is compared to Guo Huai and Shen Qiuxu, his knowledge and Guo Huai are between the best, and his personality is not as warm as Shen Qiuxu's, and the most enviable Yin Shi family background is the one that Cao Aiqing despises the most.

A good girl who has grown up with poetry and love since she was a child naturally has a very good concept of the definition of the word "material".

So in this comparison, He Tianran doesn't seem to have any advantages, but among the three people, He Tianran has one and the other two have never had a "disadvantage".

He is one of the rare, or even the only, people who can provoke a good-tempered girl like Cao Aiqing to the point where he can't hold back......

This is not quite the same as that kind of nonsense, the reason why the good girl prefers the bad boy is enduring, the point is definitely not how bad the bad boy is, but how good he is to the good girl.

If it's just plain bad, then most of the girls who like bad boys are naΓ―ve, and the other half are shallow.

Obviously, Cao Aiqing is not in this category.

Therefore, He Tianran's bad is more of an obscure expression of "good for you", and this "good" way is often contrary to the general form of care, but fortunately, he has now converged too much, at most, he is subconsciously angry in this regard Cao Aiqing, like the single-minded and self-righteous actions in his previous life, he will never do it again.

Cao Aiqing walked fifty or sixty meters before gradually dissipating her anger, and when she turned her head, she saw He Tianran looking at herself with a smile, and she realized that she was still holding the other party's hand, and immediately let go.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, it's just a pity that I didn't see you excited, and if that shot hits, you should be very happy."

"You know me well......

"We've all been through so much together, it's strange to say we don't understand, right?"

Cao Aiqing was silent.

This timeline has been restarted unconsciously for nearly two years, the old grudges have long been cleared, and Cao Aiqing's treatment of He Tianran has long since lost the-for-tat as it was at the beginning, they chatted and socialized as friends, and occasionally participated in each other's lives, even holding hands in a hurry just now, and they would not notice any abrupt feelings.

They can face each other naturally.

As a friend, but never able to go further......

The two continued to walk on the seaside avenue of the amusement park, when He Tianran suddenly took a few steps forward, turned around and retreated, and said:

"Hey, have your uncle and aunt told you that you are a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, duplicitous, and sometimes it is easy to drill the tip of the horns and panic."

"You mean the shooting? He Tianran, just now it was clear that you had been unable to hit, so you asked me to play with me......"

"No, I mean Xue Yong."

Cao Aiqing was about to justify his gaffe just now, but he didn't know that He Tianran's words changed.

"If you are really so optimistic about Xue Yong, then when Bai Tingting called you today, you could have stopped her and asked her to refuse this invitation, but you didn't, and you came along, which shows that your impression of Xue Yong in your heart is far less unbearable than what you say, you actually want to see the development of the two, right."

Cao Aiqing didn't have a good air:

"So you listened to me just now."

He Tianran laughed:

"What did you tell me that I hadn't listened to? I just think that the amusement park is meant to be fun, and there is no need to be so serious, we can have fun and talk at the same time, and if we can't even grasp this kind of happy time, then we really deserve to go to hell. ”

Cao Aiqing really didn't expect He Tianran to be able to give the words back to Yuan, and the girl gave him a slap in the face:

"Then you know it's hell and it's back?"

Sensing that the other party's emotions had loosened, He Tianran said happily:

"If the sun is shining every day, it is actually not interesting, my favorite thing is the wind, frost and snow sword outside the house, heavy rain and hail are falling, and I hide in the house, drink a sip of happy water and play a few games, and feel comfortable; It's the same now, you say the world makes me feel depressed, but I believe I can have a good time, whether it's black or white, does anyone remember me, hell is not the same, is there a playground? Then play! What is this called, this is called detachment, it is called chic! ”

Cao Aiqing finally couldn't help it, and sneered:

"It looks like you didn't go back in vain this time."

He Tianran put his hands behind his back: "Tsk~ Actually, that's it." ”

After speaking, he became a little embarrassed again, and continued:

"There must be gains, for example, yesterday I went back to the film school to visit a few good buddies, one of the brothers who studied photography broke up with his girlfriend who studied acting, the reason is only because of their respective futures, this seems to be very realistic, but I think at the beginning, my buddy loved his girlfriend to death, who would have thought that the end would be such an ending?"

Cao Aiqing immediately understood the meaning of his words, and continued:

"So as soon as you came back, you arranged a date between Xue Yong and Tingting?"

He Tianran nodded:

"After all, Brother Xiaoyong is different from Tingting, they are both locals of Hong Kong City, and they will not consider going to other places to develop in the future, so it saves a lot of trouble, if they can continue the frontier, it is naturally the best, if you want to say that something may go wrong, it is estimated that Xue Yong in this world has not been beaten by me, I don't know how good Tingting will treat him, but I think there will be opportunities in the future."

Cao Aiqing smiled:

"You're a dutiful old man."

He Tianran deliberately tidied up his clothes and pretended to say:

"I can't talk about the old man, but as a gentleman, I will never allow you to see a lover who is happy with each other but has suffered a lot of pain."

Cao Aiqing was stunned.

He can always arrange others very well, but has he arranged himself well?

"Are you thirsty, do you want some juice? I'm thirsty. ”

He Tianran pointed to the small shop selling freshly squeezed juice not far away, and Cao Aiqing, who was confined to his thoughts, shook his head.

"I don't want to drink anything yet, you can buy your own."

Who knows, as soon as this sentence came out, it was immediately rejected by He Tianran:

"No, you have to drink, or I won't be able to utter a line that suddenly comes to my mind."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Cao Aiqing was really speechless, and asked directly, "What do you want to say?" ”

"You say you drink."

The girl hesitated for two seconds, but she couldn't help it, and fulfilled his wish.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I drink. ”

"Gotcha~"

As if receiving an order, He Tiantian went to buy a glass of peach and dragon fruit juice.

A few minutes later, Cao Aiqing took over her peach juice, and seeing that He Tianran had already picked up the dragon fruit in her hand, her curiosity was aroused, and she couldn't help urging: "Can you say it now?" ”

He Tianran smirked twice, "Hehe, I suddenly feel embarrassed to speak." ”

"You man!" Cao Aiqing stopped and said angrily: "What do you have to say? Say! ”

He Tianran: ""

Cao Aiqing: "('へ≠)"

When the girl gradually couldn't suppress her anger, He Tianran finally relented, and he actually sang a relaxed tune without saying a word:

"The world is disturbing and noisy, what is real, for you to stumble and giggle and buy a glass of juice~"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The girl's face was visibly red, and she didn't know if she was embarrassed or embarrassed, she first covered her eyes, slowed down for a few seconds, and then slowly moved down, revealing her eyes, covering her mouth with her hands, covering the corners of her lips that she wanted to rise, staring at the embarrassed man in front of her.

He Tianran...... You...... Are you really ...... What kind of ...... this?"

He Tianran didn't realize it, "Is it rotten?" How do I feel...... Do you like it? ”

Cao Aiqing really couldn't help it, and hammered him the shoulder, but he still didn't enjoy it after the fight, and made up several punches again, and said angrily in his mouth:

"Call you to pretend to be weird, let you pretend to be weird, you like it! What are you doing? Embarrassment is dead! ”

He Tianran was beaten back again and again, laughing and exclaiming, "Is it okay for you to ask?!" ”

"It's not like you're pretending to be a monster!"

"To be reasonable, I used to be the lead singer of the band, so it shouldn't be hard to sing ......"

"It's hard to hear!"

"Okay, okay, my fault, my fault, don't fight, don't fight, take a break."

It wasn't until the man gave in and begged for mercy that the girl gave up, but the eyes were still vicious, and her fair face had two touches of Feixia, and she gasped slightly, like an angry little lamb, and it seemed that she was still angry.

He Tianran restrained his expression, stretched out his hand, and lifted the juice in Cao Aiqing's hand up.

"Oh, take a sip of juice to dissipate your anger, I'm not going to make a fuss, okay, I'm really not making a fuss."

Cao Aiqing didn't bother to look at his hippie smiling face, withdrew his gaze, and really took a sip of his own juice in a huff.

"It's delicious, I asked the boss specifically, and he said that the peach flavor is the sweetest." He Tianran flattered as if he was inviting merit.

The girl glanced at him and said angrily, "It's okay." ”

"Look, I'll just say that you're duplicitous, and you just said you won't drink or drink......"

He Tianran waited until this moment to turn over the stalk, and he had been waiting for Cao Aiqing to say this, the girl was stunned, where would she know that this guy had come full circle, he was waiting for himself here, and now that the juice has been drunk, and the evaluation has been given, isn't it that he was caught by him, and it is a refutation if he wants to refute it?

"Congratulations! Sky! Correct! ”

The girl was furious, and her willow eyebrows were upside down.

The natural brother who was jumping on the edge of the volcano was still unhurried, and even proposed:

"Ai Qing, why don't we go play roller coasters, big pendulums or something, and look for excitement, okay?"

"Big pendulum? I'm going to give you a pendulum right now! ”

"Hahahaha, don't don't, spare your life......"

The scene of the boy and girl chasing me was staged as scheduled in the playground by the sea, their figures shuttled through the crowd, hovering on the roller coaster, following the whirling wooden horse back and forth, and then at the moment of the sudden rise and fall of the jumping machine, depicting a curve of time that belongs to them.

……

Time passes minute by minute, I don't know if sensitive and delicate people are like this, many things have not yet ended, and they have begun to reminisce.

When He Tianran and Cao Aiqing arrived at the Ferris wheel, it was already a few minutes past six o'clock, but fortunately, Xue Yong and Bai Tingting came over in advance to help them line up, and the phone kept urging, so finally at such a point in time, the two entered the cockpit that was about to take off.

The door of the cockpit closed automatically, and when they entered such an enclosed space, the men and women who were still full of interest just now, immersed in the atmosphere of amusement, sat down face to face, and for a while they had nothing to say, their minds slowly sank, quietly waiting for the moment of liftoff.

Cao Aiqing's eyes looked softly out of the window, He Tianran looked at her, and remembered a sentence for no reason-

The sun doesn't set suddenly.

Just like human emotions, it is impossible to explode suddenly, it is accumulated little by little, disappointment and open-mindedness, resentment and relief, and it is also after the elimination of one and the other, and finally the selected mode of expression.

In the final analysis, Cao Aiqing is the girl who is just like the beginning, with many choices and results, compared to He Tianran, she is the one who has always been the one......

There have been many times when the memory of the future made He Tianran feel painful, so that at the beginning, he wanted to completely separate the present from the future, and then, he wanted to be as harmonious as possible, so the willful paranoia of the youth and the sophistication of the youth made He Tianran, who was hovering at both ends, become more and more corrupt and old.

A person cannot have youth and feelings of youth at the same time.

Cao Aiqing let He Tianran go, so the hell she was in would become heaven.

Perhaps, sealing a period of time with blessings and tenderness is the best farewell.

The Ferris wheel started slowly, and the two of them rose into the air little by little, Cao Aiqing noticed He Tianran's gaze, she turned her head to look at him, and asked softly:

"Why don't you stay there?"

He Tianran did not evade it again, but asked rhetorically:

"Do you think I have any reason to stay there?"

Cao Aiqing was silent for a moment, and finally said a name that both of them tried to avoid today, but if they wanted to talk about it, they couldn't avoid it anyway.

"Because...... Cool. ”

The position of the Ferris wheel slowly changed with the light and shadow illuminated outside the window, and the golden light of dusk drew a bright and dark line on the faces of men and women, He Tianran smiled slightly, his body collapsed in his seat, he tilted his head, as if thinking about how to answer this question.

"It's not a reason, I guess...... Now that I'm here, even if I don't have any of you around, I can live well. ”

He muttered, as if to confirm that the answer copied from Cao Aiqing was really what he thought, he muttered to himself and aggravated his tone, repeating:

"Well, I can live well......"

As he said this, the golden thread of sunlight just crossed his brow, and his eyes full of remembrance shone brightly as he looked out the window.

"You and Wen Liang are both very strong, very capable girls, without me, in fact, they can live a wonderful life, but I want to say, I He Tianran is the same, you say that I am a big man, I can't always be inferior to the two of you, I have always been in love with you, and I have been holding on to it, right?

Wen Liang taught me how to love, Ai Qing, you let me know how to love myself, this is the great favor you gave me, it is enough for my life, so what else do I want to covet? ”

Cao Aiqing looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help asking:

"What about your dreams? That one...... The dream of making a movie. ”

Perhaps the word "dream" is the deepest meaning represented by the name "Wen Liang", Cao Aiqing knows that He Tianran's return to this world means what he has given up, and the reason why he gave him Buddha beads is most important because of this......

Maybe sometimes, a person's name can really be tied to a certain thought, and once someone mentions it, they can think of many beautiful words, such as "youth", "dream", "summer", and "class".

So, what does the name Cao Aiqing mean for He Tianran?

The girl has never thought about this problem, and she may not be able to become a kind of embodiment of "dreams" like Wen Liang, but once, she really loved the boy who chased her dreams......

She still remembers that one winter, the boy standing in the center of the crowd asked her to help find the names on the list.

She looked up one by one from the end of the list, and it was only after seeing the end that she saw He Tianran's name.

At that time, the throbbing in her heart was beyond words.

Cao Aiqing, who was just a friend at that time, was so excited that she grabbed He Tianran's hand and was jubilant, she was happier than anyone else, and she understood better than anyone how much effort He Tianran had put in for this from the tavern where she worked to the film academy.

She was really proud of it, because the person she liked in her heart, like herself, they were all doing their best for a distant goal in their hearts.

That winter, there was a lot of snow in the port city......

何倩倩says:

"Didn't you tell me the day you took me out of the gray world, it's not like you have to stay on the other side to fulfill your dream."

Cao Aiqing sighed slightly:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I did think so at first, but after two years of getting along, I found that I still underestimated the impact of Wen Liang on you...... It's like a writer has no words, a painter has no brushes, and a director has no lenses, maybe she is such a existence to you. ”

"Perhaps......"

He Tianran did not deny this, throughout his past and present lives, although he has an infinite love for movies, whether it is because of revenge or wanting to work hard, if there is one person missing, it is always incomplete.

But there was not the slightest frustration on his face, he only paused slightly, and then laughed again:

"Van Gogh said, I dreamed of paintings, and then I painted dreams.

Then I also want to say that this experience of mine is better than any movie, and I have no story to tell the world as a person who has personally participated in it.

If Ai Qing feels sorry for me, then I want to tell you that in this world, there is always something more important than dreams that leads me back here. ”

"What is it?"

The motorcycle wheel slowly climbed and came to the upper part of the air, two young men and women were high in the air, talking about what was more important than a dream, and the answer given by He Tianran was extremely down-to-earth.

"Responsibility and ...... Love. ”

Cao Aiqing seemed to have been touched by four words, she frowned silently, looking at He Tianran's eyes, some of them were hate, and the other part was already indistinguishable......

The old grudge between the two has been settled, but there is only one thing, which lies between the two and has not been given a good ending.

It was like a thorn, and to this day, it still hurts.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The boy had abandoned the girl who had loved him dearly......

This is a fact that cannot be reversed, but now the past is repeated, and the boy who has grown up finally has an answer.

But this answer, which has been delayed for several years, can it still be counted at the end of this youth?

Such a touching scene made Cao Aiqing's eyes red, but she still said stubbornly:

"I don't need you to take any responsibility, He Tianran, I have already finished with you."

He Tianran, who was looking directly into her eyes, shook his head slowly, he did not deny or admit the other party's words, but said to himself:

"It's not just for you, Ai Qing.

More than a year ago, Wang's mother's heart disease sounded a wake-up call for me, we who have experienced reincarnation seem to have less awe of life, and it wasn't until I really witnessed the passage of life, until I heard He Panshan say that Wang's mother was critically ill and admitted to the hospital, I really felt the weight of life......

I have always been a cold person, estranged from my parents since I was a child, but at that moment, this outsider who raised me was more important than anything else......

I think it's my responsibility all my life, and it's my responsibility to make her stop worrying about me.

Will I make her happy if I accomplish my dreams? Yes, that's for sure, but it has nothing to do with my dreams, she's happy, just because I'm doing well, because I'm happy......

And my parents, my family, since He Yuanchong's incident was exposed by us, He Panshan seems to have aged a lot over the past year, sometimes I look at him obviously very tired, but he still maintains his majesty in front of people, I sometimes see it, and I feel ...... Inexplicably not a taste.

The family is unfortunate, the brothers are in trouble, his ex-wife pokes his backbone from time to time, and he has not forgiven him so far, the current godson has no way, the father and wife are estranged, and he has to run a huge business every day, and if one of these things is singled out, it is enough for an ordinary middle-aged man to bend down, but he has no ......

As much as I don't like his domineering way of getting along, I admire my father for that alone.

He has a hobby, which is to take a few days a month to go fishing by boat, and he used to call friends, gossip on the sea, talk about business, it was his rare leisure time.

But this year, he often goes to sea alone, and he goes for a day and a night or even longer, during which no one can contact him, and sometimes I wonder if he will also pursue the dream of traveling around the world when he was young, sail alone, and never come back......

Hey...... My He Tianran's dream is a dream, but his He Panshan's dream is not a dream? ”

He Tianran's voice is low, and when he talks about the moving place, he can't help but be happy in the bitterness.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Natural. ”

Cao Aiqing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by He Tianran shaking his head, he let out a long breath, squeezed out a smile, and continued:

"I once imagined that if I was born in a poor family, but my parents are kind, I may be able to live a very happy life, but if I encounter this kind of drama again, I will most likely be like Guo Huai's mother expects, step by step, using future knowledge to accumulate a rich fortune, to achieve a class leap, I may also have dreams, but I will never have so much thinking in front of love, and I will not be entangled between you and Wen Liang, who do I love more......

Because for such a person, the most important thing is to eat well, dress well, and support a family as soon as possible.

So sometimes I'm glad that I had a good baby, and I was born without worrying about food and clothing, and I have so much time to think about some big men who think it's hypocritical, but it's a very important issue for you and Wen Liang.

It's so good, when I was with you and Wen Liang, I never had a quarrel because of firewood, rice, oil, salt or trivial things in reality, you are all kind, never put material pressure on boys, because you are independent and excellent enough, love is a spiritual resonance for you, it is a very pure thing, and it just so happens that I, who have not fallen out with my father, have enough time to appreciate, to understand, to enter your heart, instead of being bothered by worldly trivial matters, busy with exams, busy with work, It's busy making money and supporting your family......

This could ...... It's one of the few advantages I have as a rich second generation, if I switch identities with Guo Huai, I really may not be able to do better than him.

Now He Panshan's mental state is getting worse and worse by me and Yuan Chong, as the eldest son in the family, I should shoulder some family responsibilities, I can't be in this situation, I am arguing about what dreams to chase, stubborn must always be a teenager, right?

Heh, although the contribution that I can make as a stunned young man in the business field is insignificant to He Panshan, it can ...... It should still make him a little happier. ”

After saying all this, He Tianran did not feel melancholy because he was determined to take on these responsibilities, and he was relieved.

He really found a direction for his future life in addition to his dreams.

At this time, the Ferris wheel also climbed to the top, he stared into the distance, the entire western sky, burned red by the setting sun, the kind of fire that made people almost tremble and cry, the kind of fire red that burned himself out as desperately as young as he was just for a moment of dazzling.

He Tianran is still naΓ―ve, but he seems to have learned hypocrisy; He was still unwilling, but he finally made a compromise.

When a person cannot be seduced, offended or shaken, there is something charming about him.

Cao Aiqing looked at him stupidly, the broken gold of the afterglow scattered on the girl's cheeks, smudging one of her hairs, she had a stomach full of words to ask, but these didn't seem to be in such a hurry......

After a moment of thinking about it, she simply asked:

"Will you stay here?"

"I'm going to stay here forever, I'm going to stay with you."

It was the first time he had said it to her – forever.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it because of responsibility? ”

"And love."

The sky in the distance, the sunset melts gold, and the twilight clouds merge the walls.

The tears in the girl's eyes that sparkled but refused to fall were like a flower blooming between her pupils, which was the golden years that could only be reflected after withering in midsummer.

He Tianran stood up, and then knelt down on one knee under the girl's teary eyes......

Ai Qing ...... Let's get married. ”

Let's get married.

This is what Cao Aiqing is most looking forward to when she is a girl.

In her name, she witnessed the past and expectations of her parents, she used to be so eager to harvest a sincere love, but what she waited for was only the neatness of reality, and the five horses were separated.

At this time, Cao Aiqing's tears could not stop flowing out, she kept wiping, but she couldn't stop it no matter what, her voice was mixed with sobbing, and asked:

"You...... You must be ...... I want to fulfill my long-cherished wish, so I ...... That's why you say that, isn't it? ”

He Tianran stretched out his hand and gently wiped away her tears.

The generous hand caressed the girl's slightly cool soft cheeks, and the temperature brought by the other party made Cao Aiqing feel extremely real, and in her ears, the following sentence sounded firmly:

"It's not a long-cherished wish, it's something I want to earn from the bottom of my heart. Ai Qing, this is the only time in my life that I have the opportunity to choose my family, for me, there is no compromise, there is no one else but you. ”

In the end, it was Rose who held the bonfire and reenacted the sunset of her teenage love.

What is love?

Love is like a glimpse of light, and when the light passes through, the world has color.

Cao Aiqing looked at the sunset outside the window, and then looked at the man in front of him.

He once said that when the soul merges, it will see some magnificent and splendid scenes.

But at this moment, the sun on the horizon is overshadowed by this lost but still hot and sincere love.

"Would you like to?"

"I ...... Willing. ”
