Chapter 54: The Sea and the Butterfly
"That's probably it......"
time, back home three hours later.
Of course, He Tianran did not tell Cao Aiqing about Wen Liang's bold statement.
But when the other party asked He Tianran what kind of person the girl he rejected was, the first thing the man thought of was this.
He Tianran didn't want to convey Wen Liang's strong emotions and attitude to Cao Aiqing, because it looked a bit like telling the other party who was far away from the ocean to say, look, buddy, I'm very popular, if you don't express your position, I may run away with someone else.
He felt that such words were a bit disrespectful, whether it was for Cao Aiqing or Wen Liang.
After all, there is nothing wrong with loving someone, but if the loved one wants to use it as a capital to show off or persecute, regardless of men and women, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly very embarrassing.
He Tianran does not lack this self-confidence.
However, even if the man euphemistically explained what happened today during the call, Cao Aiqing, who was as smart as Cao Aiqing, had already had a general image of the girl with a warm personality through He Tianran's description.
That night, Cao Aiqing didn't ask too much about Wen Liang, this matter ended with "refusal", there is no need to delve into it, the world is different, the couple who are not yet lovers are not enough, and it is their tacit understanding so far.
However, at the end of the call, Cao Aiqing couldn't help but ask one more question:
"Natural, what do you think?"
"...... me?"
He Tianran sat on the edge of the bed, his back hunched and his head down, holding his phone to his ear in one hand and his other hand across his knees.
At this moment, the moonlight outside the window slanted into the window like frost, and although the soft light dyed his hair white, it also illuminated his eyebrows.
He glanced sideways, and only half of the butterfly pattern on the back of his hand had not yet been washed......
It's just a butterfly, why did it set off waves in your heart?
"I ...... Of course I like it. ”
As if he wanted to strengthen his beliefs, He Tianran once again reiterated his intentions.
And Cao Aiqing on the other end of the phone was also silent for a moment, and then said softly:
"Naturally, I like you too......
It's just that I don't want this kind of liking to be a burden to you, we all have our own lives to live and dreams to chase; I also look forward to the day when we will have the right results, but until then, we are all destined to be tested for our choices, whether it be waiting, suffering, loneliness, temptation, or even pain.
I like the sentence you wrote, if wine is a song, drink freely.
I think a good relationship should not become a bondage, but should be a kind of motivation and encouragement, naturally, we met in high school to accompany in college, and now we are separated from each other, you have done a good job, I have no regrets about my life, if I say yes, it may be regret that I didn't pierce the window paper earlier, and be with you.
But I'm glad we weren't able to get together too soon, otherwise, after making you wait for a few years, I would have been unhappy, and I would have been even more sad......
Natural...... Don't put too much moral or emotional pressure on yourself, you don't owe me anything, but I want you to remember that even if you like someone else in the future, it's not your fault, it's the reality, the time difference, and the distance that make us part ways, not because of one person...... Did You Know? ”
Cao Aiqing's voice went from steady at the beginning to weakening at the end, I believe she also felt sad and powerless about the current situation faced by the two......
This girl is always sensible and distressing, which is also the point that He Tianran can't do anything about her.
In fact, many people who don't have a deep relationship with He Tianran, but know the current status of his relationship, will more or less have a doubt, that is, how can a young and promising man like him wait for a girl who has not even determined the relationship?
I'm afraid it's not that I'm deliberately hanging by others, or I'm PUA or something.
He Tianran has heard a lot of rumors like this in the past two years, but he is not a fool, he will not wait for a ship at the airport.
He just knows better than anyone that the person he has to wait for is worth it.
"I don't know...... Well, I'll wait for you to come back, don't talk about this...... We're all fine and won't have any problems. ”
He Tianran rarely exposed his naïve and stubborn side, and decisively ended the topic.
Compared with the warm and warm, Cao Aiqing also has her own stubbornness, she does not determine the relationship with herself, to a large extent, she wants the two parties to have a chance to leave each other's lives decently when they can't hold on......
Hanging up the phone, He Tianran regretted telling Cao Aiqing about today's incident, he thought that confessing this matter would make each other more firm......
But now it seems that it is a bit self-defeating, but it pokes at the pain point of the relationship between him and Cao Aiqing.
He Tianran, who lay back on the bed, pillowed his head with one hand and held it high with the other, staring at the butterfly on the back of his hand......
I met Wen Liang in this month, and the two of them always talked about a lot of topics, and their personalities are also very complementary, about movies, about what they like, hobbies, and some interesting things that happened in the past filming in the crew, they are in an industry, and they are very speculative when they chat, and the girl can always break the silence and provoke her desire to communicate and interact with her.
If you use an analogy, Wen Liang is more like a "dynamic" and coherent person.
But Cao Aiqing is just the opposite of her.
This quiet and virtuous girl, speaking softly and softly, occasionally lively for a while, but soon quiet, with her, always talking by herself, she will laugh when she listens, and ask curiously?
She is a good listener, and although she is not as active as Wen Liang, she always has something to say.
I remember when I was in high school, I always liked to sneak in to see her during class, and whenever the sun was warm, this girl would lie on the desk like a cat and bask in the sun.
Once, my composition was well written, and was used by the teacher as a model text to recite to the class, at that time I was still very introverted, and I stumbled over an essay reading, which made the whole class laugh, but only Cao Aiqing specially asked herself for advice after class, asking why she can always write some words with a unique perspective, and when she writes, she often encounters a situation where she has nothing to say.
At that time, the person I liked took the initiative to talk to me, and He Tianran's mind was confused at that time, so he took out her habit of lying on the table in class as an example.
It's like when you're lying on your desk in a daze during class, and you see a snail crawling lonely in the sunlight by the window, then you will see it crawling very slowly, but it will slow down, and you will feel that it is fast, and then you will see the dust in the sunlight, hear the rustle of the maple trees on campus, and when the snail finally climbs to a ray of light, its shell is shining, and your heart will jump with joy.
"How can we have nothing to say when we find stillness in motion, and dust in the sun?"
At that time, He Tianran said like this, and the girl felt that she had benefited a lot, but she didn't know that the young man had secretly looked at her hundreds of times, and the number of times he was moved in his heart was more than dense words.
Therefore, Cao Aiqing is such a "static" existence to He Tianran, these stillness is not continuous, but scattered in He Tianran's youth.
And He Tianran's love for Cao Aiqing lives in the vivid "stillness" of these moments, and once recalled, it is like the shell of the snail in the sun, shining brightly.
Therefore, of course, He Tianran can wait for Cao Aiqing for so long, even if it is far away from the ocean......
It's just that when the static meets the dynamic, when the tacit collision can't help it, when the eternal encounter with romance......
When a butterfly appeared in the calm sea......
When the eyes of the world are on the butterfly, admiring its courage and enthusiasm to fly over the sea......
He Tianran didn't want to ignore Hai's response.
"Whoosh......"
In the middle of the night, I don't know how long it took, He Tianran was no longer tired and fell asleep quietly.
The phone he held in his hand lit up slightly.
Orange Sea: "Naturally, if you like someone else in the future, you must remember to tell me, don't let me only hear about it from other people's mouths......
But after a few seconds, the message was immediately withdrawn.
(PS: Thanks to the alliance on the "lonely natural" boss, I am grateful.) )
(PS2: The gifts of Wen Liang, Ai Qing, Natural, and Xixi's respective character cards have been baked, respectively, high-speed rail tickets, Bodhi, pocket watches and duck duck dolls~ Interested friends can take a look, haha~)
