Chapter Twenty-Three: An Island for Two
"I don't know how long I've been asleep in the dark."
"I don't know how hard it will be to open my eyes."
Gu Xing lowered his head, and the melody played by the strings echoed beside the two of them with a low chant and shallow singing.
An Xi'er sensed the emotion in the song for a moment, it was as if she was alone in the dark, the pain of wandering for a long time but not finding an exit, she thought, this is probably a sad song.
But in the next sentence, the mood suddenly changed.
"I've come from afar, and you happen to be there."
"Obsessed with the world, I am wild for you."
The melody rises from a low pitch, a light suddenly appears in the darkness, and beyond that, a whole new world comes into view.
The lyrics seem to be writing about people, but they are clearly talking about this world, and An Xi'er can feel that it is the joy of walking in the dark for a long, long time and finally seeing the light.
"I am this dazzling moment, the flash of fire that crosses the sky."
"I'm desperate to come and see me for you, and I'll be extinguished and never come back."
"I'm here, I'm here."
"It's as short as a fright, as gorgeous as a summer flower."
The melody continues upwards and upwards, and the sad aura of the song is swept away, leaving only love for the world, and unparalleled determination.
An Xi'er clenched her fists suddenly, and she suddenly heard what Gu Xingfang had just said-
Maybe everything will disappear.
She didn't understand why the other party suddenly said that, but now she suddenly knew, and the answer was given in the song.
I have traveled a far, long way to come to this world, and no matter what, I want to bloom like fireworks, even if it is short, even if it will be extinguished soon, but still desperate.
Isn't that what happened to her?
She rejected countless opportunities, just because she felt that they were meaningless, she could not accept that she was as mediocre as others, she wanted to stand in front of the world, she had to be real, brilliant, she wanted to send her own light, not the halo crowned by foreign objects.
"What a beautiful and regrettable world it is."
"We just hugged and laughed and cried."
The song echoed in a low voice again, and Gu Xing's mind flashed alternately between this moment and the past, and for a moment, he couldn't tell whether this moment was real or illusory.
Everything is too incredible, sometimes, he thinks that he is not worthy of this miracle, he was not so innocent in his previous life, and the reason for falling into the deep valley is indeed a crime of desire, but if he is not chasing fame and fortune, how can he be willing to become a tool of capital?
He didn't know what force had brought him into this world, and maybe at some point, he would suddenly wake up.
But it doesn't matter, at least at the moment he is sitting by the sea, with wine by his side and a piano in his hand.
So he sang.
"It's worth it, it's worth it."
"The shock is short-lived, and it opens up before your eyes."
Even if it was really a fleeting dream, Gu Xing just wanted to make sure that he had no regrets.
"Spring all the way, thorns all the way."
"Shocking as short as a flood, as gorgeous as a summer flower."
He swept his fingers over the strings and raised his head, feeling the sea breeze sweeping his brow over his bangs.
"It's a world that can't stay long."
The melody ended, and the two were speechless.
An Xi'er hugged her knees, put her head on her knees, and looked at Gu Xing with a sideways face, she had never felt this way, she always felt that she didn't need anyone's understanding, she could not care about other people's opinions, she only did what she liked, she liked to be in a daze, and even if she stayed alone all day, she would not feel lonely.
But at this moment, she suddenly realized that she was not lonely, but she was used to being lonely and not being understood by others.
She didn't expect that there would be a song that would completely penetrate herself, and the person who sang it must be able to understand herself.
"What's the name of this song?"
Gu Xing picked up the wine bottle, only to feel extremely relaxed and comfortable in his heart, he took a sip happily, and said, "Life is like a summer flower." ”
"Life is like a summer flower..."An Xi'er repeated, "It's really suitable." ”
Gu Xingdao: "This is a poem. ”
"Life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves."
"Great, isn't it?"
An Xi'er nodded heavily: "It's great." ”
She looked at Gu Xing and said seriously: "The names of the stars will definitely stay in this world forever like the stars." ”
"Of course." Gu Xing laughed: "After all, the stars are miracles." ”
He stood up and said, "I want to go for a walk in the sea." ”
"Why?" An Xi'er was stunned.
"Because it's the right moment." Gu Xing threw his shoes aside, screamed and chased the waves, the sea water soaked his trouser legs, he didn't care, the cold touch only made him feel real, they wrapped through the fabric, like the embrace of the world.
An Xi'er also stood up and bit her lip.
She is afraid of water, she has been afraid of water since she was a child, but at the moment she doesn't know why she has a strong urge.
That's right, it's the right moment.
So she threw away her shoes and ran to the sea.
The faint light of the camp shone on the sea, and the two of them exposed their upper bodies in the sea, An Xi'er had never smiled so happily, she slapped the water, splashed on the faces of the two, and screamed.
"Gu Xing, I'm so happy!"
"Me too!" Gu Xing laughed and splashed at An Xi'er, who screamed and hurriedly fought back.
The clothes were attached to her delicate body, and the curves outlined under the shimmer were extremely seductive, but both of them clearly did not care, and unscrupulously vented and expressed their pleasure.
Frolicking in the water, running on the beach, drinking and chatting without any scruples, on this island far from land, in this camp watched by countless people, only they know everything about tonight.
It's like an island built in the middle of a noisy ocean, an island that no one has discovered.
ps: This book has been pushed on the test, although this is not the first time I have experienced a new book period, but I still suffer from gains and losses, and I am apprehensive.
Yesterday, I kept looking at the data in the background at a frequency of half an hour, and the more I looked at it, the cooler it became, and I even couldn't believe it.
The results on the first day of the recommendation can only be described as dismal.
The recommendation rules for the starting point are brutal, and I really don't want the book to fall in the first round of recommendations, which means that if I want to continue the story, I can only generate electricity for love.
So, please book friends read it every day, at least in the past few days to test the waters, the latest chapters, if this book can go on, even if the author sacrifices the little hair left, it will definitely burst the liver update!
