Bai Liu repeated softly: "Fifty years since the war ended?"
Yi Lianna lowered her head and looked at Bai Liu with drooping eyelids full of wrinkles: "Maybe longer, I'm too old to remember these dates."
"I just remember a long, long time ago, when Alex was still alive, he and that guy named Guy wrote me many, many letters." Elena pulled out her dirty bib skirt A stack of old letters, "Every time I come to visit the grave, I read the letter they sent me in front of their grave, lest I forget it."
Elena sighed wearily: "If you know these things are now only remembered by me, the old woman, if I forget them too, there will really be no trace of them."
Bai Liu looked at the stack of letters, and asked politely: "Shall I take a look?"
Yi Lianna looked at Bai Liu in surprise: "Are you interested? No young people want to hear these old stories anymore."
Bai Liu smiled: "I am Alex and Guy's comrades-in-arms, and I have an obligation to help remember them."
Yi Lianna stared at Bai Liu silently for a long time, and she suddenly smiled: "Young man, even if you are a liar full of lies, you really used your lies to please me."
She kindly handed the pile of letters to Bai Liu, with tears in her eyes: "Welcome to remember these two people with me."
Bai Liu held up the letter: "Perhaps you don't suggest that I open it and read it in person?"
Yi Lianna smiled, and waved her hand tremblingly: "Of course not, I can recite all the above things backwards."
Bai Liu lowered her head and arranged the letters in chronological order first, and then opened them one by one. Yi Lianna said in a rambling voice:
"...Do you know, young man, if people have a bad life when they are very old, and if they are alone, they will recall their past over and over again, thinking about what they did wrong, and they will fall into This is what happened..."
Elena's old voice paused: "Do you know what is the scariest thing in this process?"
Bai Liu looked up at her: "What is it?"
Elena forced a smile, but tears flowed from the corners of her eyes: "You did a lot of things wrong."
Bai Liu lowered her eyes and looked at the first letter in her hand. It was Jelena who sent it to Alex.
[Salute to my dear fiance:
Your dirty, shameless, vile male lover wrote to me two days ago, asking me to forgive him for his despicable behavior with you, and shamelessly begging me to bless your love and marriage.
What a disgusting thought!
Is there any god in this world who allows two males to marry in front of him?
I even suspect that enemy shells will be dropped on the place where your wedding is held, as punishment for your violation of ethics!
Alex, as a doctor who studies the mechanism of human life, you are the greatest profession on earth, why would you allow yourself to hang out with such a ridiculous neuropathy? Wasting time saving lives?
When you're with him, don't you feel that your future and ideals are tainted by shit?
By the time I got the letter he sent, I felt my dignity was stained by shit. 】
Bai Liu flipped through the next letter, and the sender was Alex.
[To Elena:
First, allow me to vehemently refute what you call me. I have never met you, and I have never agreed to allow you to make a pretense of being my fiancée. The first letter you called me is Totally wrong.
Number one, my lover, my wife, there will only be one person who will be with me for the rest of my life, and that is Guy, not you who suddenly appeared after I fell in love with Guy.
I don't know where your inexplicable admiration for me came from, whether it was from my parents' unrealistic expectations and descriptions of me, or from the only couple in that small town who obtained an advanced degree The pursuit of young people, or the self-satisfaction and self-satisfaction with their own beauty, it is ridiculous to think that the most beautiful girl in the town does not win the best young people.
Allow me to solemnly explain to you, Elena, I am not something you can use to win and flaunt, I am a person with feelings.
After I gave my love to Guy, before I don't love him, I absolutely can't fall in love with anyone else.
Elena, you are also an independent person, your value does not need to be flaunted by me, you can do more valuable things to prove it.
Guy and I have two qualifications to go to higher universities, and I have to use it myself. Guy said that you still don’t understand little girl, it’s better than not knowing. He who came back alive has more qualifications to enjoy the beauty and knowledge in the world.
If you have any idea of going to an advanced university, Guy says he can give you his qualifications.
Although you said all kinds of things to Guy that made me feel shit when I said it, Guy forgave you and said noblely that he could give you this opportunity to study further.
While I vehemently disagreed, Guy was adamant.
Guy said he couldn't tell you were an ambitious little girl.
He said that you like me because I am a doctor, and you think that I am curing diseases and saving lives, which is great, so you put a kind of feminine yearning on me.
Guy asked me to pass on a sentence to you, if you like saving people, why don't you try it yourself?
I'm sorry for the blind promises my parents made to you, but I'll still slam you if you say anything inappropriate about Guy. 】
Bai Liu continued to flip through, and the next letter was from Elena again, but this time it was not addressed to Alex, but to Guy.
[Salute to Guy:
I apologize for the inappropriate, insulting and emotionally charged wording.
I put all the money I saved from working in the past three years from the age of eleven to the present in this envelope, as compensation for my improper export.
I don't want the qualifications you gave me, I still think you are wasting Alex's time, he doesn't have more, he invented a medicine that doesn't delay the death of human beings, this is not a salvation How many wardead soldiers/people?
Everyone in the town said that he, Alex, would become the next war hero!
But after he met you, now his mind is full of love!
I still want you to stay away from him, maybe you will find another true love male lover, but that person should not be Alex. 】
The next one was from Guy to Elena.
[To the lovely little girl Elena:
Hey girl, guess what? I think you are right.
Alex will indeed have a very bright future. He is a very talented guy. The experimental progress of the medicine is advancing very quickly. His superiors have already approved him to experiment on wounded soldiers, and the effect is remarkable.
I don't deserve him, Alex is fine, so I still want to selfishly possess him for a while and have the best memories with him.
Elena, I have seen your photos, you are beautiful, but you are too young, at the age of fourteen, you still can't tell the difference between love and yearning.
I have to admit that Alex is a nice guy, but when you talk about love with him, that's at least four years later - believe me, with your good looks, determination and perseverance, that's it At that time, you have probably met another good guy who makes you more excited.
Of course, it is also possible that she is a good girl, I don't stick to that.
After the war, enjoying a romantic and slow-paced love in peacetime is what you and Alex should get, instead of being held hostage by Alex’s parents in a small town due to war fanaticism. Sacrifice your youth and marry some war hero they imagined.
It's not fair for you or Alex.
I want you to be happy, because you deserve happiness, and I want me to be happy too.
Unfortunately, God is not willing to bless the happiness I want.
Hey Alex told me you're good at making wedding dresses, can you make me one? Just what I want to wear to marry Alex? 】
The last letter Irina wrote to Guy was very messy, and there were many traces of teardrops on it, as if fourteen-year-old Irina was writing the letter while crying.
But her tone of letter is completely different and cold:
[To Guy:
I don't know where you heard those rumors that I was forced to marry Alex, but not this time, I was willing.
I can't make a wedding dress, I won't allow anyone to marry Alex before me, give up! 】
Bai Liu looked at the wedding dress that Yi Lianna put on Guy's tombstone, raised her eyebrows and asked, "I don't know, why did you make a wedding dress for Guy in the end?"
Elena smiled with nostalgia in her eyes, but the smile seemed to be happy, but there was a lot of unspeakable sadness hidden, and the corners of her mouth could not stop downward:
"... At that time, I was too young and didn't understand anything. The town said that a group of beautiful girls would be selected to marry the town's war heroes. The winner would get a gift from Alex's parents. A sum of money, my parents let me go."
"I am the most beautiful of all the girls." Elena's eyes became farther and farther away, "I was chosen easily, and I was still young at that time, and the law did not allow me to marry, so Alec Si's parents told me to guard Alex when he came back, and he was not allowed to contact or fall in love with anyone until Alex came back."
"At that time, all my life was to marry a hero like Alex. Someone snatched him away, and I was completely panicked. I hated Guy to death." Elena's eyes were red, her tone Resentfully, "Guy is a very smooth-talking guy, and he likes to write letters to tease me. I just don't understand how a group of people who fight wars don't have such leisure and smile every day."
"Guy was different from all the men I met. He respected me, encouraged me, and said that sooner or later I would do as well as Alex. Go ahead and read."
Elena's tears overflowed from her wrinkles: "On the night I wrote this letter to Guy in tears, I secretly made a wedding dress overnight and rushed to the post office to send it to him."
She said, turning her head to look at Bai Liu in a daze: "But when I arrived at the post office, the post office informed me that a new letter had arrived and asked me to pick it up. I typed, and it was Guy's letter."
Jelena burst into tears: "—it's Guy's obituary and a suicide note."
"Guy was shot dead on the spot after the early morning sneak attack and rebellion. He knew all this would happen, and left me a suicide note in advance, asking me to take care of myself and help him take care of Alec. S."
"I want to give him the wedding dress, an apology, and thanks..." Irina choked up, her mouth trembling, "all before he heard it."
