"I was wondering! "No wonder she is so arrogant. She is definitely a 'second generation official'. But, what does that have to do with me?"
"You are wrong, she is not only related to me, but to you as well. Even though I had never seen or knew you before you came to this university, from the first time I saw you, I knew that we had some sort of relationship. " Gui Herong said indifferently.
Zhang Song stared at Gui Herong and asked: "So, you know my mother?"
Gui Herong first nodded his head, then shook it and said, "You can say that, after all, we haven't met in twenty years."
"So that's how it is. Like this, everything that happened last night will go away."
"How's your mom for twenty years?" Gui Herong said gently.
"Thank you for Uncle Gui's concern. She's fine, just a bit weak." Zhang Song replied truthfully.
Gui Herong nodded, and said, "The third matter is related to the finals. I hope that you and the other students in your class will be able to collect your heart and prepare for the final exam in a month or so. "Anyway, at least you shouldn't let me see you fail."
When it came to the exam, Zhang Song's scalp could not help but tingle. In this semester, Zhang Song was the one who skipped the most classes. Even in the midst of class time, he still went to speak.
Gui Herong looked at Zhang Song, and said indifferently: "Alright, let's stop talking here for now, you go attend the lessons first, and don't forget the promise you gave me."
"Not knowing the true face of Lushan, only because you are in the mountain," is said that the onlooker is a spectator. If you want to see things clearly, you have to jump out and avoid what's in your line of sight. It's like if you want to know how hot it is standing in the sun, you have to walk out of the air-conditioned room. If you stay in an air-conditioned room forever, you may never learn to appreciate the benefits of air conditioning if you never know what the desire for coolness is in the eyes of a sun-scorched person.
Night slowly approached.
Zhang Song came to the place where he and Dongfang Yi had agreed to meet.
As expected of Zhang Song, he had arrived early and was waiting for him.
Seeing Zhang Song slowly approaching, Dongfang Yi took the initiative to greet him.
After arriving, Zhang Song went straight to the point, and said to Dongfang Yi: "Do you know why I offered to meet with you?"
Dongfang Yi shook his head as he looked at Zhang Song blankly, indicating that he knew nothing.
"Want to hear the story?" Zhang Song did not explain but changed the topic.
"If you want to say it, I'll listen." Dongfang Yi smiled gently.
Zhang Song looked at her silently, but his heart was struggling. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "In the past, there was a boy who fell in love with a girl. Although the boy was not very outstanding, and his family was very poor, he did not know if he could bring the girl the happiness she wanted. Maybe the heavens had given him a favor, the girl did not hesitate to love him deeply, never leaving the boy. The grass and grass were like silk, and the rocks were not shifted in the slightest. These words are the proof of the feelings between the two of them. "
"In the blink of an eye, he was about to go to college, but the university's high school fees left the boy feeling embarrassed. In order to fulfill his dream, he had no choice but to temporarily give up his studies and earn money. Arriving at a strange city, because of his age, the boy had changed jobs and suffered a lot, but he had never told the girl about it. For his beautiful future, for the sake of being able to have a blissful future with her, he silently endured it all. Although they are far away from each other, they deeply miss each other and dare not forget even a single moment. "
"Time slowly passed, and a new year arrived. The boy finally returned, bringing him and their dreams with him. In the end, they were accepted by their ideal university just as they had wished. While they were happily embraced, a sudden disaster descended upon them mercilessly, completely destroying their only, small dream. "
Zhang Song slowly took a deep breath and continued, "It's as if the blissful couple on vacation is seeing their sweet and blissful future. Just then, the boy received a call from his mother, who told him that his sister had been kidnapped, that there was no one to replace the boy's family. He quickly said goodbye to the girl and went alone to rescue his sister. Finally, with the help of a friend and himself, he was able to safely save his sister. But at this time, he received a call from a stranger, and immediately went in a frenzy to find the girl. When he found the girl, the girl was already on her last breath, and when the girl was about to die, she told the boy that she was very happy. From then on, the boy became depressed day and night, unwilling to wake up from their beautiful dreams. He stayed by the girl's grave all day long, accompanying her and watching the sunset as the clouds rolled down … "
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Song finally finished telling this story. On the other hand, Dongfang Yi saw that her face was already filled with tears, sparkling tears had even wet her clothes.
As he quietly watched Dongfang Yi, Zhang Song stepped forward and gently wiped away the tears on Dongfang Yi's face.
After a long while, Dongfang Yi raised her red and swollen eyes, and said to Zhang Song faintly: "If I'm not mistaken, the boy in your story should be you, right?"
Zhang Song nodded towards Dongfang Yi.
"I truly feel sorry for you and her. It's just that all of this is already in the past. I hope that you can open your eyes a little." Dongfang Yi consoled Zhang Song. She didn't know what to say, and other than consoling her, what else could she do? Could it be that he wanted her to tell Zhang Song to forget the past and accept him and start over? No, she couldn't be this selfish. She didn't want to take advantage of someone when they were in danger, and even now, she wasn't sure if Zhang Song had her in his heart or not. If he really didn't have her in his heart, why would she bother with her, making him feel guilty.
At this moment, Dongfang Yi's heart had thoughts of retreating, she kept her sadness and feelings. The gaze that focused on Zhang Song did not contain any sadness or happiness, and even Zhang Song could not see what she was thinking at this moment. Dongfang Yi slowly said: "It's getting late, I should leave now. You have to take care of yourself." It was a light sentence, but from Zhang Song's point of view, it was as if Dongfang Yi was bidding him farewell.
Although his life was very short, Zhang Song had experienced a few separations, life and death situations. He was really a little scared now. Humans have a strong side, and similarly, there would be a weak side, and in Zhang Song's heart, the weakest side was afraid of facing death and parting. The first time was when Chen Yuxin betrayed him, making him wish he was dead. After that, Mu Xinyi's death tore his heart apart. He did not want to lose anyone who deeply loved him.
Zhang Song was struggling in his heart as he made an indescribable decision. After Dongfang Yi, who was facing him, finished saying his goodbyes, he slowly turned around, lifted his leg that seemed to have been filled with lead, and slowly walked forward. One step, two steps, three steps …
Seeing Dongfang Yi walking further and further away, the anxious Zhang Song seemed to have made her final decision. He looked at Dongfang Yi's back that was getting further and further away from him, and suddenly said: "One minute, give me one minute, okay?"
When Dongfang Yi, who was originally walking forward, heard Zhang Song's words, his heart shook, and his footsteps also stopped. He lifted his left hand, stared at the watch on his arm, and slowly said: "One minute is very short, go ahead." At this time, Dongfang Yi's back was still facing Zhang Song, and he did not turn around.
Time slowly ticked away in the silence. The stars that filled the sky had also hidden themselves in the clouds. Perhaps even they could not bear to see the scene of their departure.
Silence, silence, a solemn silence, so quiet that one could even hear the clicks of the needle on Dongfang Yi's watch.
Zhang Song prayed silently in his heart: "Heavens, if you can hear my call, then please help me this time, I really want to extend this short one minute indefinitely. If you can help me stop this world's time, I am willing to use the remainder of my life in exchange for this second. Even if you want me to die immediately, I won't complain at all, I only hope that you can extend this one moment."
"Perhaps, I will never be able to forget Mu Xinyi. Undeniably, she will always live in my heart. However, she is no longer here. I can't keep deceiving myself. Before I met you, I had always thought that I wouldn't fall in love with anyone anymore, and that I would even accompany her as she slowly aged and her hair turned white. "
"However, perhaps the heavens do not fulfil the wishes of others, love is like a round rate, infinite and not circular. Since all of the beautiful things from back then have disappeared, then what reason do I have to face her and protect her for the rest of my life? "
"In the past, in the present, never come again after the past; the red leaves are always buried in the dust, and the beginning of the end is always the same. In this world, it is hard for people to avoid fate. Perhaps, I should believe that it is fate that cannot allow us to meet face to face; lovers never come again after parting, I should sit down without a word and look around the world. The flowers may wilt, but they will bloom again. "
"Perhaps meeting you is a destiny; meeting you is perhaps the same as wanting me to find myself. If so, how can I go against the destiny bestowed upon me and give up this opportunity to love you? Let go of the embrace and embrace the present. If you embrace the past too tightly, how can you embrace the present? "
At this moment, Dongfang Yi's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. At this moment, two streams of tears flowed out of her eyes, but she still maintained her previous posture. She silently looked at the watch in her hands, and didn't turn around to throw herself into Zhang Song's warm embrace.
