Chapter 68: Poetry and Distance
Yu Yang's destination for this business trip is Zurich, Switzerland, a city surrounded by beautiful lakes and mysterious mountain peaks, so he can meet its stunning beauty as soon as he gets off the plane.
So he decided to adjust his schedule, compress his working hours as much as he could, and leave a few days off for himself. Over the years, he has never traveled again, and the last real trip was with Xiaojing.
It wasn't until he embarked on the journey that he realized that it was so beautiful and pleasant to stop and look at the scenery and experience the poetry and the distance. He found a small town to live in, and when he opened the window in the evening, he was fascinated by the fairytale scenery in front of him.
The Swiss like to decorate the delicate life with flowers, on the windowsill, next to the lintel, in the courtyard, red, purple, yellow, blue are all bright and dazzling, all kinds of plants swaying, the fresh sun makes the Alps at dusk bright like the morning light, the grass from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain is like a gorgeous and colorful painting in the bright sunshine, and the wooden houses scattered in the grass are like the stars in the Milky Way.
The Creator may have taken a preference for Switzerland and made everything here as perfect as possible. Pillow such a beautiful view to fall asleep this night
Yu Yang slept very sweetly.
Waking up the next day, he embarked on a train journey from Interlaken to Jungfrauch. The train shuttled in front of the mountains and forests, and he was fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he kept picking up his phone to record the mesmerizing scenery in front of him.
Although she joked that she didn't want him to send him a beautiful scenery to herself, he could also imagine how ecstatic she would be when she saw all this in front of her, so he couldn't help but open WeChat.
Yu Yang: I remember you mentioned to me that you watched Hayao Miyazaki's cartoon when you were a child, called "Girl in the Alps", right?
Xiaojing: Yes, it was when I was in elementary school, because the animation was very warm and touching, especially the scenes were very beautiful, which made me remember Switzerland.
Yu Yang: This is the Jungfrau in the Alps, and it is a very dreamy feeling to travel by train. (After posting the text, Yu Yang continued to post a piece of the scenery he took while taking the train.) )
Xiaojing: It was these scenes that I still remember about the endless green mountains, the peaks of which were covered with snow, and at the foot of the mountains were small wooden houses like fairy tale scenes, surrounded by colorful flowers, and there was a clear blue lake, reflecting this natural beauty.
Yu Yang: Isn't that so? (Yu Yang posted another video)
Xiaojing: Wow, this is what I remember it to be.
Yu Yang: When I reach the top, I'll show you a panoramic view of the Alps.
Xiaojing: Spring in the Alps is probably the most beautiful season of the year.
Yu Yang: I imagine what it would be like for you to stand in front of this beautiful landscape.
This sentence made Xiaojing fall into silence, she didn't reply, just watched the videos sent by Yu Yang over and over again, as if looking at them, she stood on the soft grass with her feet as if she was there, breathing in the refreshing fragrance, and looking up at the Jungfraujoch side by side with him, the scene she had imagined countless times in her mind.
Coming out of Jungfrau Station, Yu Yang took the elevator to the observation deck at the top of the peak, overlooking the panoramic view of the Alps. He wished he could hold her hand at this moment and accompany her to watch the best scene in her memory.
When Yu Yang returned to the inn in the town, the innkeeper gave him a sumptuous dinner, which relieved him from the fatigue of the day's journey. After he had finished his dinner, he sat alone on the terrace of the inn and looked at the starry sky at night, full of starlight that converged into a galaxy, which he had never seen before.
He sat quietly under the night sky looking out at the distant sky, and at this time, her shadow resurfaced in his mind. She is like the bright moon in the sky, giving light to his lonely heart. When he thought of her, his gaze seemed deep and distant, and Mrs. Smith, the innkeeper, saw that he was alone and looking into the distance, and naturally saw something, and took the initiative to talk to him.
“Hello, M
. Yu.” (Hello, Mr. Yu)
“Hi, M
s. Smith"
“Would you like a cup of coffee?” (Need a coffee?) )
“Tha

“A

“Is that obvious?” (Does it seem so obvious?) Yu Yang asked a little embarrassedly when he heard her say this.
“Yes,Whe

“Whe

“Maybe he is looki

“I'm so

“It's okay,So,Whe

“I'm af

“Does she love you, too?” (So does she love you too?) )
“I thi

“Oh No! You should be b

“The

“Nothi

After Mrs. Smith finished speaking, she patted Yu Yang's shoulder meaningfully, looking at her back in her young age, and at that moment Yu Yang felt indescribable sadness in her heart.
As the night wore on, Yu Yang wandered back and forth in his room, contemplating Mrs. Smith's conversation with herself. To his east, night had just dawned in Shanghai.
"Xiaojing, do you think it's okay to book the wedding hotel at Marriott?"
"Okay."
"What kind of set do you like, I'll look at the white one, you like white." Chen Ling used his mobile phone to check and said to himself, "Then spread a full white rose......"
"Okay." Xiaojing felt that the room was a little stuffy, so she walked to the balcony.
She watched Chen Ling happily planning the wedding, but she was not excited at all. She raised her eyes to look at the moon in the sky, it was obviously so bright, and what rose in her heart was the sentimentality of "the night chant should feel the cold moonlight".
Chen Ling suddenly didn't respond as he spoke, only to find Xiaojing standing on the balcony looking at the moon alone: "What's wrong?" ”
"You see the moon is so bright today." Instead of answering positively, she changed the subject.
"It's the fifteenth full moon again. Xiaojing, you always like to look at the moon, is it because of him? She didn't expect him to suddenly ask such a question, and she was stunned for a moment.
Although he saw that she didn't know how to respond, he didn't feel embarrassed anymore, "Let's go in, it's cold outside." "I would have set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, which may be beyond their control.
When Xiaojing went to the bathroom, her mobile phone rang with a WeChat message prompt, and the sender was: Yu Yang.
He looked at his phone, put it on the desktop again, and finally he opened her phone, and the WeChat content was a video: Under the quiet night sky, there is a bright moon as clear as water, the moonlight looks so deep and distant, and the scenery under the moonlit night is like a dream, like a poem. Let him be thrilled after reading it, it's the moon again, or such a lonely moonlight, what does this mean. He looked at the video and hesitated for a moment, but deleted it.
After deleting the video, Chen Ling's heart couldn't calm down anymore, this was the first time he had violated Xiaojing's privacy, but he felt that he had no choice but to do so. In his opinion, no matter how much he tried to give her time to calm down, he probably couldn't stop him from appearing in front of her eyes from time to time. He was a little annoyed, he was thinking that it was time to go to Yu Yang for a good chat.
In fact, Yu Yang also edited such a passage: Such a night sky is indescribably charming, and under such a night sky, I hope that a time tunnel can take me back to the past, to the past that is under the same moonlight as you.
But he still hesitated to eliminate all the text of the WeChat content, loss and possession, this question is not as easy for him as Mrs. Smith said.
Before leaving, Yu Yang came to the church in the town, the church was so quiet in the afternoon, as if someone had pulled out the gears of time, and time would no longer pass, what kind of tranquility and beauty it was.
Looking at this, he thought: how beautiful it would be if one day he could fly here with her, put on a white wedding dress for her, and make a beautiful vow with her? But all this is as beautiful as the beauty here, and the beauty is so unreal. He could only drag his luggage back to the reality that didn't belong to them.
After the plane took off, Yu Yang overlooked the city from the air, how happy the people who live here, the spring is full of romantic atmosphere, sitting on the bench by the lake with his lover, looking at the hazy snow-capped mountains in the distance, watching flocks of swans wandering in the lake, and then happily snuggling together.
