Chapter 39: Spring
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole city is non-smoking, and it is quiet not like the New Year.
Su Qing sat on the ground by the window, looking up at the sky, and the bright lights in the room made Su Qing unable to see whether there were any stars or not. But the fireworks that Gerry set off for her had stars, and Su Qing remembered it clearly, like what had just happened yesterday. The people I haven't seen for years are as kind as if they were at hand.
Liu Wanwan behind her was even more irritable, and sure enough, she followed the old man's words, and broke up this year without surviving. But that greasy man is old and entangled, and the Chinese New Year's Eve does not let people stop. knocked on the door of Liu Wanwan's house, and had no choice but to hide in Su Qing's house.
"What are you going to do after the year?" Liu Wanwan asked.
Su Qing moved his head, as if he had just come out of his thoughts, "... Let's write a book."
Liu Wanwan nodded when she heard this, and then reacted that Su Qing couldn't see it, and said, "It's good to write a book, many people like the book you used to have." Glancing at Su Qing again, he pondered and said, "Everything... It's all back to normal, isn't it?"
Su Qing listened to Liu Wanwan's cautious words, and laughed softly, "Well, everything is calm." He turned his head to look at her again, "I'm worried about you, I won't be in the future."
Wanwan hurriedly came over and hugged her, "What are you talking about, you are my Liu Wanwan's first best friend!" ”
Su Qing patted her lightly, perhaps, it was better to end.
In fact, not only do you have to write a book, but you also have to go back to the editorial department to report. I also have a lot of odd jobs in the editorial department. For example, proofreading and typesetting are all her work, and writing a book is just a mistake. Now I don't have the energy to lift a pen, so I have to go back to the rules and regulations.
After getting off work in the evening, Su Qing walked aimlessly on the street with his bag, the festive red of the street was reflected in the lights, and the low-hanging branches that were blown by the wind were a little desolate.
Red light.
Waiting on the side of the road, the traffic is busy, echoing each other.
Green light.
Walking on the zebra crossing step by step, my head is like a mess filled with lead.
The hand was kept outside, frozen with hair.
The days passed day by day, and she was almost suffocated by the longing accumulated over time. Like a fish discarded on the beach, struggling, but unable to turn back.
I walked for too long on the road at two o'clock and one line, but I didn't find the apricot blossoms quietly blooming on the side of the road, until the sky fell, and patches of flowers and rain fell, flying in the clear spring sky.
Su Qing raised his eyes and looked at it, drunk in the colorful, as if he had returned from the past. Reached out to take a piece of falling apricot petals, but only swept her fingertips, did not stop, and rushed to the next romance.
Is there a young man in red at the end of the branch who will break off a bunch of apricot branches with love, and send it to his distant hometown with a letter to his family, inviting his sweetheart to wait for spring together.
"Hey! Hello" The voice beside him interrupted Su Qing's heavy thoughts.
Su Qing turned his head, he was a boy dressed in fashion, and he was estimated to be a college student.
"Can you add your WeChat?" The boy said cheerfully.
Su Qing blinked and saw the mobile phone the boy handed to her.
"Why?" Su Qing asked very uninterestingly.
"Uh" The boy obviously didn't expect him to ask, and replied with a smile, "What do you say?"
"I don't know" Su Qing turned around and left.
The boy was also very persevering, and said as he walked next to Su Qing, "I've seen you all the way away, and I think your temperament is very special." Am I not handsome? ”
"Probably, handsome," Su Qing said lightly, "But I'm going home, don't follow me." ”
"I'm rich, beautiful, and humorous. How about singing and dancing? I don't plan to add a WeChat to learn more," the boy's voice was very firm.
"You blocked me from looking at the apricot blossoms, I don't like it" Su Qing was stunned, I don't know when I became so indifferent when I spoke.
The boy didn't look like he was hit, "That's right, I also like apricot blossoms, let's watch it together." I'll take a picture for you, and I'll send you on WeChat when the time comes."
"There's an art exhibition next week, let's go together," the boy began to chatter.
"Do you know me?" Su Qing interrupted him softly.
The boy frowned, "It's boring to play deep, sister"
Su Qing lowered his head and exhaled deeply, and said weakly: "I don't like to play games, and I don't like to watch art exhibitions."
"That's miserable," the boy pretended to be aggrieved, "Then let's get to know each other, maybe we have other interests and hobbies."
Su Qing looked straight at the falling apricot blossoms, the wind was blowing, and the wind danced in the air with the petals, reflecting under today's extraordinarily blue sky. Everything was so beautiful. Su Qing suddenly became a little angry, maybe it was the chattering boy in front of him, or maybe it was a bad job. Maybe...... It's because of the person who broke the appointment. said that we would wait for spring together, said that we would watch Liulan together, and said that I would come back to listen to my answer, but the person who accompanied me with such a beautiful picture in front of me was not you.
"I'm married," Su Qing said lightly in the boy's gushing.
"Oh" the boy was surprised, "Earlier, sister"
"I'm going to school around here, and I'm looking forward to meeting you next time," the boy laughed and ran to the other side.
Su Qingpestle didn't move in place, letting the apricot blossoms float by, and didn't do anything to keep it.
It turns out that we have so many regrets.
Once again, Su Qing walked into this mysterious alley under the leadership of the little old man, as if the scene here had never changed no matter whether spring or autumn came.
This time, the little old man didn't ring the copper bell, but walked to the window, and by the dim light, he found the silver bell with a thin flash, and handed it to Su Qing casually, "Give"
Su Qing took the silver bell with both hands, as if there was a weight that he couldn't bear.
"Follow the rules and be good to you and him. Everything, think more," the little old man leaned against the window, muttering slowly.
"Well, I understand," Su Qing replied.
The little old man looked at Su Qing again and didn't say anything more.
After taking a few days off and saying goodbye late, Su Qing packed his bags and set off.
Sitting in a rented car, he swayed around several places, and finally found the grassland described by Su Qing before sunset.
As soon as he stepped out of the car and stepped on the soft grass, Su Qing had a strong desire to cry. Holding back her emotions, she asked the driver to pick her up the next day.
The driver looked at the young woman who spoke an old-fashioned Mongolian dialect strangely, dressed like a Mongolian robe in an old TV set. In the wilderness, you have to sleep here by yourself, and come to pick her up tomorrow, it's really getting weirder and weirder. But, money, who can't get along with money.
After a burst of car exhaust, Su Qing coughed twice before she stood still, taking a good look at this grassland that she had no choice but to come to twice. This time she came on her own initiative, and she couldn't explain the complicated feelings herself.
Carefully took out the silver bell in his arms, held his breath, raised it above his head in the howling wind, and gently shook the silver bell like some kind of summoning ritual.
Jingle bells... Jingling...
In an instant, the sky changed color, the wind became smaller, and even quieted. The light shining on the grass turned orange-yellow, and it turned out that the sun was about to set.
Su Qing didn't dare to move, she didn't even dare to look back, she didn't dare to be sure if she had succeeded. Then the crisp sound of a silver bell completely shattered Su Qing's fragile heart.
... Jingling... Jingle bells
It was the sound of tears falling vertically on clothes. Tears sparked the sight, and the sense of hearing became more sensitive. The sound of horses' hooves is looking forward to the return of people.
"What people"
Familiar, indifferent.
Su Qing moved little by little and turned his head.
Just one glance, tears can't be embankmented.
The sun sets in the west, above the green fields, two people and one horse.
Both fell into each other's eyes, one was emotional, and the other was surprised.
The long-lasting thoughts were blocked in Su Qing's heart, and at this moment the dawn was first seen. I couldn't say a word, I could only look at the person in front of me greedily, afraid that if I missed a second, this dream would disappear.
Gerry frowned and dismounted. Step by step, a few steps away. Su Qing looked at Gerry, who was alive and free under the dim light and shadow, his blood flowed again, and with all his strength, he threw himself into Gerry's arms.
Gerry stood stunned and didn't move, his hands that were meant to be pushed away, but they seemed to be habitually patting her on the back.
“... I... I am willing" Su Qing hugged Gerry tightly, the breath was full of familiar tastes, and a heart seemed to land steadily, only the fatigue after the catastrophe remained.
"I do," Su Qing said repeatedly.
If the ending can't be changed, then let's make up for the regrets.
Gerry seemed to have just come to his senses, and pulled Su Qing out of his arms with a slight force, "Who are you?" ”
He doesn't recognize me anymore, and it seems that a new cycle has begun.
With tears in his eyes, Su Qing grabbed Gri's sleeve tightly and said with a crying voice: "You don't know me anymore, then let's get to know each other again." ”
Su Qing looked at Gerry's eyes seriously, trying to find the slightest evidence of his existence there, "My name is Su Qing." ”
Gerry's eyes were still cold, and it had used all his patience to listen to this inexplicable man say some strange things here. Frowning, he took a step back.
Su Qing felt that he was examining himself, according to Nan Tart's rules, if he still couldn't control his emotions like this, it was very likely that he would be driven out of the illusion directly by Gerry.
"I am from Zhongchongguan, and a Taoist priest calculated a hexagram for me, saying that my Ruyi Langjun is in Beiyuan. So I have worked tirelessly to travel thousands of miles to get here, can you help me lead the way? Su Qing lied frankly.
Clumsy lie, but Gerry still asked, "Where to go?" ”
Su Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, there was still a chance, "Bayani! ”
Gerry got on his horse and grabbed the reins just about to turn around.
"Huh!" Su Qing immediately ran to him and said pitifully: "You take me, I can't walk"
Gerry's warhorse, Baoyin, is a red-maned horse that has never carried anyone, not even Aris and Shuanghu. Gerry, who had been sent by the devil, held out his hand to her.
Su Qing didn't hesitate, happily took Gerry's hand and followed him on the horse. Sitting behind Gerry, he put his arms around his waist, obviously feeling his stiff body, Su Qing closed his eyes with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and greedily breathed the air on his lover.
The moment he dragged Su Qing on the horse, Gerry was thinking, he must have gone crazy today.
