068 Waiting for Godot

The sun shines on a photograph of a tombstone. The girl in the photo is smiling brightly. Seems carefree, never broken.

Two young men stood in front of the tomb with flowers and fruits in their hands and stared at it for a long time.

They are Ankang and Lin Mushuang's classmates in high school and college, Zhu Xue.

"I come to see her almost every month." Zhu Xue put the flower in front of the tombstone and said to Ankang.

"Thank you, Zhu Xue!"

"Don't say that, I should do it. Lin Mushuang is my best friend. Besides, the cemetery is not far from my home. Unlike if you live in Lujiazui, it's not easy to come here. ”

The future of health for a long time is not because it is not easy to come. Lujiazui is far away from Zhoupu, and it can be reached in two hours by bus. He couldn't bear the guilt. Although Lin Mushuang's death was not directly related to him, Ankang always believed that Lin Mushuang died because of him.

An Kang looked at Lin Mushuang's photo with a vivid expression, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Lin Mushuang is gone, and a family full of warmth is also shattered after Lin Mushuang's death.

Lin Mushuang's mother couldn't bear the blow after her daughter's death. She always believed that all this was caused by Ankang's father. Half a year after Lin Mushuang's death, her mother filed for divorce from her husband and was very resolute.

Soon after the two divorced, Ankang's father followed a few Wenzhou people to Russia and never returned.

When Ankang heard that his father was in the jewelry business in Russia, he was emotional.

Although Ankang's father started out as a clothing businessman, luxury goods such as jewelry are very far away from their daily lives. The reason why their family is associated with jewelry is entirely due to an unintentional move by Ankang.

One weekend, Ankang and Lin Mushuang traveled to an ancient town around Shanghai. Because of the abundance of pearls in the area, Ankang bought two pearl necklaces. One string for Lin Mushuang, and one string for her mother.

Because of Ankang's actions, Lin Mushuang suddenly became enthusiastic about jewelry design, and told her parents that in addition to wanting to be admitted to Tongji University, she also wanted to be admitted to Shanghai Textile University.

Of course, Lin Mushuang's parents were very pleased. No matter what university her daughter goes to, as long as she is as far away from Ankang as possible.

However, soon Lin Mushuang seemed to come back to her senses and insisted on taking the entrance examination to Tongji University, which is close to Fudan University. However, Lin Mushuang's research on jewelry design and Russian jewelry did not stop because of this.

Another reason why Ankang's father went to Russia to start a jewelry business was related to his garment factory. The operation of his new clothing brand ultimately failed. At the same time, the failed new brands also dragged down the garment factory's business, and eventually left a large amount of debt. Suffering from the death of his daughter and the separation of his wife, Ankang's father also had to face debt collection from creditors all day long.

Several of the creditors were Wenzhou people who were in the jewelry business in Russia. Since Ankang's father ran a garment factory and couldn't repay their money for a while, the Wenzhou people encouraged Ankang's father to go to Russia with them to do business.

In this way, the father disappeared after making a phone call to Ankang, and there was no contact again.

"I really didn't expect that you and Lin Mushuang would be brother and sister. No wonder Lin Mushuang couldn't withstand the blow. If you and Lin Mushuang are not related by any blood, even if the relationship is incompatible and they break up, there may be a possibility of reuniting in the future. And only because you are brothers and sisters, you can never be together. ”

An Kang nodded.

"You know what? On the day Lin Mushuang left, we also met. ”

"Really?" Ankang had no idea about it.

"Hmm." Zhu Xue said, "She was in a very bad mood that day, and she told me about your trip to Shenzhen." Even though she didn't have any contact with you during that time, she actually missed you very much. But how could she say that to others? How can my sister tell someone that the person she thinks of is her brother? However, how can love be erased and erased? ”

"What about after you meet?" An Kang asked.

Zhu Xue thought for a while and said, "Later, after we drank coffee together, I went home." The next day I found out that she had been in a car accident. It is said that the driver who caused the accident said that he was very careful when he turned, but he didn't know why Lin Mushuang hit his car headlong and just fell under the wheels. ”

"Could the frost be ......?"

"No, no. At that time, there were passers-by who witnessed the whole process. They said that Lin Mushuang didn't hit it on purpose. Lin Mushuang looked preoccupied at the time and didn't notice the car. ”

"I see."

Coming out of the cemetery, Ankang looked back at the gate of the cemetery. Long before Lin Mushuang was buried here, Ankang was familiar with this place. Because Lin Mushuang is more interested in architectural design, she is also studying feng shui. She said that Chinese cemeteries generally have good feng shui.

Ankang accompanied Lin Mushuang to the Zhoupu Cemetery, which is very close to "Little Shanghai". He didn't feel the good about feng shui at all, he just felt that it was strange to run to such a place on a big weekend.

And now, Lin Mushuang is buried in this cemetery where she has been to many times and said that feng shui is very good.

Wait for Godot.

Looking at the gate of the cemetery, Ankang suddenly remembered the drama he had watched with Lin Mushuang for some reason.

In this drama, everyone is waiting for the future, but living the present life meaninglessly. For the sake of uncertain people and things, a large number of certain people and things have been sacrificed in vain.

Himself and Lin Mushuang, isn't that the case?

At that time, they were full of infinite fantasies and expectations for the future, always thinking that happiness was at hand, and always thinking that happiness could come at any time.

Compared with other lovers, Ankang and Lin Mushuang believe that the two of them have incomparable innate advantages, because they have been living under the same roof since seven years ago, they know each other very well, and they have more tolerance for the differences between each other.

It is often said that there will be a seven-year itch between husband and wife and lovers. And between Ankang and Lin Mushuang, exactly seven years have passed. They simply couldn't imagine anyone or anything else that could stop the two of them from being together.

However, the most unlikely scenario happened to them.

An Kang and Lin Mushuang, who have watched "Waiting for Godot", have repeatedly reminded themselves not to be in the deformed situation in the play. They wait for tomorrow and hope that tomorrow will be better, but they can't repeat what they did yesterday and watch things go in a bad direction step by step and be powerless. They will never be born out of nothingness and die in nothingness.

However, they end up watching things go in a bad direction step by step, but they are completely powerless to do anything about it
