Chapter 22 [Extra] Flower Rain
How long has it been? I don't remember......
found a job at random, and Bai Yu lived like an ordinary office worker.
After the dust settled, the world finally calmed down, and Bai Yu rarely had contact with Baiyue Palace again, and he never saw the girl with a smile like a flower again.
Everything woke up like a dream, but it was extremely real, just like the real pain when you were kicked in the stomach in the fantasy, and the warmth and fragrance in your arms at that time.
Sometimes he thinks that growing up is actually a process of becoming cowardly, and in high school, he could not hesitate to change his liberal arts and science aspirations because he liked a girl, which was very reckless. But after that unscrupulous age, he didn't even have the courage to say "I like you".
"Whewββ, it's so bitter!" took a long breath, and Bai Yu poured the coffee from the cup.
Toot β
As soon as I got up, there was a message prompt from the mobile phone on the table.
Wu Ye, a junior high school classmate, hasn't seen him for a long time.
Wu Ye: Are you in Shunyang? Tomorrow I will go to see the flowers, and I will pick you up.
Bai Yu: Looking at the flowers?
Wu Ye: Yes, the cherry blossom garden in Pingli.
Cherry blossoms......
Bai Yu got up and opened the window, and the whistle of the car on the street immediately rushed in, with the laughter of pedestrians.
It's March.
The warm breeze blew in, and the scattered petals fell on the "Summoning Copy" on the table.
......
Early the next morning, Bai Yu was woken up by a call from Wu Ye, but he didn't expect him to be waiting at the door.
Bai Yu got up to open the door, only to see Wu Ye holding a mobile phone in his hand and shaking it, with a smile on his face.
"So early?" Bai Yu yawned.
"Come to your place for breakfast," Wu Ye responded, "It's been a long time since I've tasted what you've made." β
"Sit down, I'll wash my face first. Bai Yu took a can of juice to Wu Ye and walked into the bathroom by himself.
Wu Ye was a classmate whom Bai Yu met in junior high school, and they were at the same table in the third year of junior high school. The age of committing the second disease. At that time, the two recommended each other good-looking Japanese comics, and they talked about the world of Kyushu between classes, chatting about Himeno and Lu Guichen together, as well as Xiang Kongyue, who was a fan. Bai Yu always prides himself on Xiang Kongyue, and even the game ID is named "Xiang Kongyue Master".
Bai Yu is very glad that this friendship has been maintained until now, although the fantasy of his youth is no longer there, but when the two are together, they are as innocent as children.
"How are you doing in the imperial capital?" Bai Yu walked out, wiping his hair and asked.
The imperial capital, the name of the two of them to the capital Beijing, is a city that many young people yearn for, and it is also like the Apocalypse City that heroes from all over the world in the world of Kyushu flock to. But Bai Yu preferred a peaceful life, so he stayed in Shunyang. For him, the gentleness of the south is more suitable for a pseudo-literati like him.
"It's luxurious, fast-paced and tiring. Wu Ye drank the juice and responded.
"Yes. Bai Yu walked to the kitchen and began to prepare today's breakfast.
Wu Ye turned on the TV by himself, and was looking for the remote control, but saw the "Summoning Copy" quietly on the table.
I heard Bai Yu mention it a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to write it down.
Wu Ye picked up the "Summoning Copy", flipped through it, and the message on the title page was innocent and second: I would like to use this book to commemorate the nineteen-year-old of Zeng.
"So, is Shunyang your Apocalypse City?" Wu Ye on the sofa suddenly asked.
Bai Yu cut the vegetables and hesitated for a while: "Probably." β
"But Xiang Kongyue, shouldn't he use the technique of slaying dragons to turn over the clouds and seas?"
"What's the point of turning over the clouds and the sea......"
The room fell silent, except for the clatter of the knife in Bai Yu's hand cutting on the cutting board.
......
"Master Huββ, craftsmanship is really extraordinary. After breakfast, Wu Ye leaned back on the sofa and admired.
Bai Yu got up and brewed two cups of coffee, and the two sat opposite each other.
"Who is the girl in the book?" Wu Ye pointed to the "Summoning Copy" on the table.
"Not my story. Bai Yu replied.
Wu Ye smiled and put down the coffee in his hand: "OK, then let's go." β
The two of them went out, got into the car driven by Wu Ye, and drove in the direction of Pingli, thinking that this guy was also a good mix.
Pingli is a county town in the east of Shunyang, where it is famous for the Baili Cherry Blossom Garden, and in March and April every year, the cherry blossoms in the mountains are in full bloom and fall like rain.
"Are you still in touch with Luo Ying?" On the way, Wu Ye asked again.
"It's been a long time. Bai Yu responded. As for how long, I don't remember.
"I thought I would receive your invitation one day," Wu Ye said, "Although everyone was still very young at that time, your innocent feelings were enviable. β
Bai Yu looked out the window, and the car sped by, hurriedly staggering pedestrians on the road.
"But no one will grow up. Bai Yu pursed his lips and chuckled, "It's like a girl and you agreed to go to Tokyo to see the sea together, she just wants to see the sea, but you still want to take her to see the Sky Tree." Later, you learned that there are many places in the world where you can see the sea, but the Sky Tree can only be seen in Tokyo. β
"What about Zhao Ting, the girl in the book, is she the one who will accompany you to see the Sky Tree?"
"It's not. β
The car was quiet again, and Wu Ye stepped on the accelerator to speed up.
After a long time, the two finally arrived at their destination.
After getting out of the car, the two walked straight into the garden.
"It's really not bad!" Wu Ye sighed.
Bai Yu also felt that the cherry blossoms in this mountain were very beautiful, but he didn't expect that the first time he came was with Wu Ye.
Probably because of weekdays, there are not as many people as expected, and occasionally couples pass by and whisper.
Speaking of which, I used to want to follow Wei to Japan to see the cherry blossoms over there, taste local sake under the trees, and watch the petals fall, but I don't know the speed and whether it is really five centimeters per second.
"That's right. Wu Ye, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted, and then ran to the car parked outside the garden, and took two bags of something from the back compartment.
Wu Ye trotted to follow Bai Yu and handed him a bag. After taking the bag, Bai Yu realized that this guy had prepared a picnic cloth and a lot of food.
So the two found a place to sit down, drank wine and ate snacks, chatted about their experiences in recent years, and sometimes laughed.
Wu Ye took out a cigarette and handed it to Bai Yu: "Do you smoke?"
"I didn't smoke it. Bai Yu declined him.
He used to get up in the middle of the night and go out to the balcony to smoke a cigarette in the wind, when he had just started writing a novel and just wanted to write a story of his own. Later, a girl from the same school told him to smoke less, and he stopped smoking, very simple care, but he also took it to heart, and he began to write a little bit every day, even if only one person was reading.
"Are you always so sullen, or are you always paralyzed?" Wu Ye exhaled the cigarette, and the white smoke swirled in the air and dissipated.
"Facial paralysis. Bai Yu said with a smile.
The two continued to chat without saying a word, and watched the beautiful scenery in front of them over snacks.
The wind suddenly blew off the petals of the trees and poured them like rain.
In this world, you shouldn't regret who you've met, and you shouldn't, regret who you'll miss.....
