Running Snail - Chapter 26
When Qi Juan came back, her expression remained calm as usual. Wei Nan approached her with some worry and held her hand: “Xiao Juan, what’s the matter with you?”
“It’s okay, the wind is so strong that my spirit is a little messy.” As Qi Juan said, she shook Wei Nan’s hand, pretending to say calmly, “After today’s things, do you understand? It’s impossible for you and Xu Zhiheng. It was impossible when you were born. His father is an out-and-out scum, can he give birth to a good species?”
Wei Nan was silent for a long time, until the fire gradually went out, and when he couldn’t see the expression on the other’s face, he whispered: “I understand, don’t worry.”
Qi Juan said with a cold face: “Still make a clear statement, don’t give me ambiguities, but I am convinced by your oblique language art.”
“You’re really stubborn.” Wei Nan smiled and sighed slightly: “You are right. I will not be with him. I have known for a long time. It’s just that today… it’s more clear.”
Xu Zhiheng, during the time when you pretended that you could not swim, and I really could not swim, we used to be happily doing dry ducks on the beach together.
But you are going to the sea after all, and I can only stay on the shore and watch.
I cannot set foot in your field, and you cannot adapt to my turf. A coastline separates the two who love each other. If I jump in, I will drown. If you climb out, you will dry up to death. Both of them should not be chosen, nor can they be chosen.
Not too sensible, but we have to be sensible.
“Nan Nan, only those who learn to forget can live happily.” Qi Juan’s voice was particularly thin in the wind.
In fact, both of them understand that some things cannot be forgotten after all, such as those deep-seated sweetness, such as those hard-hearted pains, such as those fierce hatreds-they have been buried deep in their hearts unconsciously, forever Unable to pull out.
“I will…work hard.” Wei Nan said.
At the bonfire party after the barbecue, everyone gathered around and played very excitedly.
Su Minmin looked very happy. She was dancing in a beautiful and **** dress. She had a solid foundation in dancing. She was graceful and graceful when she jumped up. She was a very beautiful woman, but now she is full of brilliance.
Qi Juan said coldly next to her: “It’s like Mei Chaofeng who is practicing Jiuyin white bone claws. She is stimulated.”
Yuan Yuan suddenly laughed in a low voice: “Don’t you think Miss Su in a fiery red dress looks like a phoenix?”
Qi Juan took a closer look and saw that the skirt was curling up and down behind Su Minmin with the dance movements. The whole person really looked like a turkey, just short of a chicken feather on the top of his head. So she nodded meaningfully: “No wonder, she is about to rebirth from Nirvana, so she is dying to struggle there.”
Yuan Yuan smiled and said: “In fact, I sympathize with her. It feels uncomfortable to be dumped. If you change me, I can beat someone to vent. Miss Su is so ladylike, and she fell so gentle when she fell a pillow. The other party is a classmate Xu Zhiheng with a strong aura. How dare Su Xiaobaitu be beaten…I was panicking for her.”
Qi Juan suddenly turned her head and said, “You are so clear that you were dumped by someone?”
Yuan Yuan helpless: “Even though I was dumped in essence, it was still my sister in the form. I had the upper hand and crushed him in pain. Damn, I can’t be soft when dealing with a bitch. I will run into it one day. He, I absolutely chopped off his whole body!”
Qi Juan smiled and gave a thumbs up: “Yes, not bad, when you get into a medical dispute, sister, I will bring you a lawsuit.”
“Sure, it’s settled!”
The two laughed unanimously again.
“By the way, who are we sister?” Yuan Yuan suddenly wondered, “I am a tiger, how about you?”
Qi Juan smiled: “It seems that I am an older sister because I am a lion.”
“Damn, you dare to play with me…”
The two were laughing there, and Su Minmin walked over with a smile on his face, “I’m going to graduate, and each side of the world is going to be a classmate for many years. Let’s have a drink.” Su Minmin handed the wine to the silent guard next to him. Nan, Wei Nan wanted to pick him up, but Qi Juan stopped him.
Su Minmin smiled and said, “You are not afraid that I will poison Wei Nan, are you?”
Qi Juan smiled brilliantly: “You should not have the guts.” After speaking, she raised her head and drank the wine in one sip, and then said: “Congratulations, you are free.”
Su Minmin nodded, and clinked glasses with Qi Juan: “I wish you success in your career and become a great man in the legal profession.” Then he raised his head and drank the wine boldly.
“Thank you.” Qi Juan smiled, and the conversation changed. “You have already found a job, right?”
Su Minmin said: “I plan to fire the boss, so I changed my job.”
“Why do you change your career? Drug trafficking?”
Qi Juan’s mouth is still not forgiving, and Su Minmin is still calm, smiling and saying: “I plan to be a Chinese teacher, and I have passed the teacher qualification certificate.”
Yuan Yuan squirted facelessly, half a cup of wine was sprayed out to form a long arrow, and then he patted his chest and coughed desperately beside him.
Qi Juan raised her eyebrows and said, “Being a teacher? How many flowers of the motherland do you have to destroy?”
Su Minmin smiled and said, “The flowers watered by the venom are the most beautiful.”
Qi Juan was silent, and after a long time she smiled and stretched out her hand, “Then, I wish you a good gardener and water a garden “Blue Demon Fairy”.”
Su Minmin cocked his mouth and laughed, and stretched out his hand to shake Qi Juan. Then he walked to Wei Nan and said softly: “I have something for you.” He said that he walked ahead and led the way. Qi Juan looked at Wei Nan suspiciously, Wei Nan smiled and said, “She won’t give me bombs, don’t worry.”
The two stood still at the corner of the corridor. Su Minmin turned around and smiled at Wei Nan: “You know what, I once took two things from you.”
Wei Nan also kept a demeanor smiling, and said lightly: “Oh? Let’s listen, I will collect debts, and I will not let you go if I don’t make a ghost.”
Su Minmin smiled.
“Then wait for you to be a ghost.” Then he stroked his long hair and said softly, “The first one is a letter written by Xu Zhiheng in the third year of high school. I burned it before I even read it. You.” After a pause, he continued, “The second one is a gift from him on your birthday that year. There is actually something in the box, which I took away.”
After finishing the calculations, the final result is still his cold eye.
With you, those past intrigues may not change the ending today.
With me, those impulses in my youth are blemishes that cannot be erased in my life.
The nightmare that made people awaken in the middle of the night, a disgraceful past, now they all speak out, like exposing their moldy heart in the sun, the heart has cracked one after another hideous openings, and the teeth and claws are like this terrible.
It wasn’t that beautiful phoenix anymore, even if he wanted to be reborn from the ashes, he couldn’t find his past self.
While smiling, Su Minmin took out a box from his pocket, opened it, grabbed Wei Nan’s hand, and gently put the contents into Wei Nan’s palm.
“Give it back to you. We… from now on.” After saying that, he turned his head and walked away. The sound of high-heeled shoes and floor tiles touched with excitement and rhythm. Su Minmin’s long hair was glowing with a soft light under the light. Wearing a long skirt was also blown up by the sea breeze, extremely chic and lonely.
Wei Nan lowered his head and shook the cold ring in his heart.
There is also a note. The handwriting on it is a bit vague because of the age, but it is still the familiar handwriting of that person——
“Wei Nan, I don’t know what you want or what I can afford you. I can only leave the cleanest place in my heart for you.”
Where is the cleanest place in my heart?
Xu Zhiheng, I can’t find the place you left me in your heart, and I am not qualified to… continue to live there.
When a ring, a piece of paper, and missing things are recycled, it is already too late.
Finally understand the meaning of what you said.
“I just want to find someone who can accept everything about me.”
Did you think I received the ring back then? Do you think I didn’t respond after I received it because I looked down on you? You think I don’t want to stay in the cleanest place in your heart, and don’t want to accept your most precious ring. That’s why you said that?
How did you feel back then, and why do you feel distressed to suffocate when you think of it now?
The cold ring in the palm of his hand suddenly caught a drop of warm tears, and was instantly dried by the wind, as if it had never existed.
On an official business trip many years later, Wei Nan flew to Hainan alone.
The hotel where I used to stay was demolished due to urban planning. Those routes that have been taken have undergone earth-shaking changes after a few years. The person who once liked has already walked out of his own world.
Things are different, and time has passed.
Wei Nan’s favorite singer, Asang, died of breast cancer. She was low-key and didn’t even reveal any news before she died. That lonely woman left so silent and sudden. Listening to her ethereal singing, what was clearly reflected in her mind was the familiar and vivid pictures of the past.
In the second year of college, there was such a man who rode to his side on April Fool’s Day and ran to the hospital on his back. His broad back conveyed a warm and reassuring temperature. He was anxious. His eyes made people feel painful, the dazzling fluorescent lights in the hospital corridor printed his smiling face the moment he heard that his condition was not serious.
In the year of the graduation trip, Su Minmin smiled and said goodbye to Xu Zhiheng. His long black hair was blown by the sea breeze, and the slightly thin figure finally disappeared at the end of the long corridor. At the corner of the corridor, Xu Zhiheng’s low voice alone sang Asang’s “Something Hurt”. Slender fingers are playing the guitar to accompany him. He sits on the beach with his back leaning on the railing. The sea breeze lifts up his fine bangs, revealing his delicate facial contours. Those eyes are as deep as the loneliest night, looking back. When Wei Nan was, it was as far away as a sea.
His lips were slightly opened, and the lyrics that he uttered softly, one word, one word, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, lightly knocked on Wei Nan’s heart.
“Mylove, good night, don’t be embarrassed, don’t worry about me getting hurt. I want to be open, considerate, I’m used to it, otherwise what can I do. This city is too disguised, love is like a neon sign, who leaves but forgets to turn off the light , Let the dream be too brilliant. I thought you would be different, but why are you different. A love song is longer than a kiss, which is called a good gathering and a good relaxation…”
Because of the extremely low decibel pressure, in the dull air, the heart was beating at a stall due to too much pain, and Wei Nan seemed to hear his own depressed cry in the sound of tearing wind in his ears—that was only in hallucinations. Cry, the cry that never dared to vent in front of people.
The sound of waves hitting the beach continuously, and Xu Zhiheng’s deep voice, are like the wailing of an injured beast.
In the palm of the hand is the cold ring, and on the note, the handwriting blurred by tears——
“I can only leave the cleanest place in my heart for you.”
Xu Zhiheng followed his mother abroad, Su Minmin went away, and everything else remained unchanged.
It’s just that Wei Nan didn’t know. At the moment when he was watching Xu Zhiheng quietly, there was also someone on the platform in the distance watching him quietly.
“You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people’s dreams.” Zhou Fang commented, “This is a beautiful dead end.”
Lu Shuang said, “It doesn’t matter, I am the key to this deadlock.”
Zhou Fang smiled and asked, “So confident? Are you a little bit arrogant.”
Lu Shuang smiled slightly, “There are no ununlockable locks in the world, but some people are unwilling to untie them, wanting to make the lock rusty to reflect that unforgettable feeling.”
The two stopped the conversation and looked out the window——
The people downstairs were reveling, Xu Zhiheng and Su Minmin had left separately.
Wei Nan stood alone by the beach, looking at the scenery in the distance. The sea breeze blew her monochromatic T-shirt and raised her slightly longer hair. The girl who always smiled heartlessly at that moment looked so lonely and lonely.
The scene where the huge sea surface and the tiny figure merge together-is a suffocating distressed feeling.
Zhou Fang picked up the camera and took the scene.
Lu Shuang twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes were serious and firm–
“Xu Zhiheng once took Wei Nan to run wild in the rain. I know that those deep and beautiful memories are something that Wei Nan will never forget, and will not even be forgotten for a lifetime.”
“but–”
“I am willing to hold up an umbrella for her.”
A sentence was broken three times, and there was even an echo in the air.
Zhou Fang didn’t speak, but gently put his hands on Lushuang’s shoulders, giving the most precious and encouraging power among friends.
To accompany her in the rain and to hold an umbrella for her are all expressions of love. There is no light or heavy, no one is shallow or deep, only which one is more suitable for her to choose.
Wei Nan, who was young and innocent, has been in the rain with Xu Zhiheng for many years. For too long, Wei Nan has become accustomed to days without clear skies. Being in the rain together is romantic, but it has been so hard, so hard. Wei Nan, who was originally pure and simple, gradually learned to use a mask to disguise himself. Behind the bright smile on his face, how much distressing helplessness and bitterness were concealed.
But she forgot, after all, the romance of being in the rain can’t last long. Only those who can accompany her with an umbrella in the rain can go all the way. Even if the pace is slow, even if there is no thrilling, even if it cannot be unforgettable, it is… the warmest and most secure place.
