Take off the slightly half-wet clothes and pants thrown into the washing machine, pressed the start button, first took a shower, put on a set of comfortable home clothes, after a full day of work, lazily lying on the soft bed to rest a little bit, and then open your eyes, but it is already dark outside, it turns out that just now actually accidentally fell asleep!
It is raining heavily in the fall night, the rain hit the rain cover outside the window, resounding “tick, tick, tick ……” urgent sound, outside the rain can not go there, the indoor filled with a boredom to make people want to panic, especially in this tomorrow do not have to work! On a small weekend night, I thought to myself (it’s really raining tonight, it’s going to rain all night long!) The cold middle of the night is perfect for making a hot cup of coffee, turning on the computer and surfing the net, enjoying the comfort of being alone.
The computer connected to the line, the first in each often on the website to wander around, as if nothing new, opened the electronic mailbox to receive letters, by the way, delete that never cut also cut the spam advertising letters, with the left mouse button and the right mouse button with each other under the light cooperation, quickly deleted a bunch of garbage letters, the mouse cursor, and finally stayed in the main theme of that letter, “Dear Yichen to receive! The mouse cursor finally stopped on the letter with the subject line “Dear Yichen, this is the last message she left me when she left two years ago, which should be regarded as her “breakup letter” to me!
Although this matter has been over for a long time, but can not afford to delete it, just as I stubbornly refuse to forget, she had in my dreams of the knitted brows of the smile, with the coffee cup curling up the hot air, thoughts unconsciously back to the time when we were still together …….
Since and his girlfriend – Jiaxi became an official couple, every day during lunch time we will deliberately run to the top floor of the company that few people know to have lunch together we have the same consensus, in order to avoid the company colleagues on the office romance gossip and gossip we privately agreed not to meet during working hours, only in the midday to eat lunch breaks to meet, although for us this deliberately repressed feelings and not a good feeling, but for the sake of the longevity of their relationship, work smoothly, but also had to temporarily endure. Not good, but in order to two people’s feelings for a long time, the work of the smooth, but also had to temporarily endure.
Usually, Cassie and I would have lunch together to talk about company gossip and our moods at work, or sneak in some words that only couples would say when no one is around, such as: Did you miss me today? How much do you want to ah? …… blah blah blah. Disgusting to the bystanders will hear goosebumps fall all over the ground words, and then each to rest and take a nap, so as to cope with the afternoon’s work.
Like today she didn’t know what to think of again, excitedly pulled my hand and said: Yichen, Yichen, yesterday I heard my colleagues and they were chatting, saying that the sky lanterns are beautifully released on the Lantern Festival in Northern Taiwan every year. And they also said it’s best for couples to go together! They told me that I must go to see it once in my life! I agreed with her and said, “Yes, it’s quite beautiful! It’s quite beautiful, and the atmosphere at night is great.”
She asked me curiously, “Yichen, have you ever been there?” I didn’t think too much about it and said, “Yes. I’m a local! I’m a local! How could I not have been there?” She asked, “Well, when did you go there? Why haven’t you taken me there?” I paused to think for a moment and realized that this was a disaster! I hadn’t thought too much about it, and I’d spoken too quickly, and it was over! Done! I squeaked out, “Well, it was a long time ago! I didn’t know you then!”
Seemingly smelling something unusual, she blushed and pressed on, “When did you go? Who did you go with?” Before I could say anything, she added, “Tell me the truth, don’t lie to me! Otherwise, I’ll ignore you for three months.”
Geez! I knew that I couldn’t keep up with my sloppiness any longer, and I was defeated by a woman’s innate sixth sense again! I could only say with my hands spread out, “It’s just an ex-girlfriend with…the one I had before…that I had no relationship with! It’s nothing!” She was a bit upset, and said grumblingly, “Oh~ You’ve only ever taken your ex-girlfriend, you’ve never taken me, you don’t really love me at all!”
My goodness! Even this was to be described by her as not loving her, and at the moment she was taking the bull by the horns again. I hastened to pacify her by saying, “Love! Of course I love you! Love you to death! Oh no! I love you to death! When the lanterns are released this year, I will definitely take you there, okay?” She smiled and said, “Yes!” Then she felt bad and said, “Wait a minute! No, I can’t! No way! You can’t prove it with your words.” She held out her hand and said, “Let’s play hooky, it’s a deal, and the one who backs out will be a little piggy!” I had to play hooky with her childishly, thinking to myself, “A twenty-something year old is still playing hooky with others?” After playing the hook, she said seriously, “We agreed that you would take me to see the sky lanterns! This is our promise, you can’t forget it!” I said, “Okay! I’ll remember, now that’s a promise!” (I just didn’t realize that soon after, this would be a “promise” we couldn’t fulfill. …….)
She happily took out two red, thumping apples from her lunch bag and said, “I brought after-dinner fruit today!” I held her hand and said like the TV commercials, “Good! My dear, we’re going to eat vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the month.” She laughed and said, “Don’t flatter yourself, who is your old partner? Today is not the first day, fifteenth, vegetarian your head!” I showed an ambiguous expression and said: “Not good! In the middle of the day, we are going to “veg” people’s heads, elements of our evening home before veg! PS. (Su=Taiwanese for “suck”) Her face turned red and white, both angry and amused, and she punched me with her little pink fist and said, “Lin Yichen, you’re very nasty! Where do you think you’re going?” I pretended to be innocent and defended, “I didn’t say anything, you said it yourself first!” She said with shame and anger, “You still say, everything is your fault …….”
Frankly speaking, when I chose to be with Cassie, apart from the fact that she is not bad in appearance, her personality is also quite compatible with mine. In fact, I still hold a kind of try to see the mentality, for at that time and the ex-girlfriend has been broken up for a while I, no wonder someone said: “love is also a kind of bet, only is not a bet on the money, but the bet on their own life-long happiness”.
However, since I’ve been spending time with Cassie, I’ve quite liked the kind, simple, and sweet qualities that she unobtrusively reveals! For a girl in her twenties who is already out in society, there are not many who can still retain such a good nature. Because nowadays the girls are either gold-digging, loser, or childish all day long to break up on the lips “quickly fall in love with a person, and quickly leave a person” this kind of fast-food love, not what I am looking for.
She doesn’t compare me to her friends’ boyfriends, and if she does, it’s just a joke and a trip, and I think she’s just trying to remind me to be nice to her, but she doesn’t use it as an excuse to be rude.
When we go to that fun place to play, she will remember to buy some small gifts or souvenirs, or come to my house at night to look for me, and bring snacks and so on to my family, not only me, but also my family think she is very sweet, very understanding, and naturally treat her as a member of the family.
My parents sometimes lose me in front of her and say, “Look! Look! Jiaxie is more filial than my own son.” My parents also turned their backs on her, and my mom often hinted to me, “Son, there aren’t many good girls like Jiaxie who have good personalities, good tempers, and good looks and bodies, so treat them well, or else you’ll be miserable and regretful the day she doesn’t stay with you.”
My dad also kept saying, “Right! Son, you’ve heard that fat water doesn’t fall on others’ fields, right? You should know this principle, right?” They often, consciously or unconsciously, pushed me to hurry up and marry Jiaxi back home. Although I also had plans to settle down with her, I always felt that we were still young, so perhaps it would be better to wait for a more solid financial and emotional foundation! And after all, we’ve only been together for almost a year.
However, her personality also has some flaws that complement her innocence and simplicity, such as stubbornness, impulsiveness, love of the bull’s-eye, and occasional episodes of petulance…….. Sometimes she will do things according to her little head without thinking or weighing them. Sometimes she will do things according to the idea in her little head, and will not go to a variety of thinking, measurement, so she will also impulsively do something to make me angry is not, read her is not the thing to, maybe it is our age difference of five years, I always think that she is still young, society, life experience is not enough, try to tolerate her. However, I think I’m quite lucky to have met a woman who truly loves me, and I also love her.
Every year before the end of the year is the company’s fixed shipments of the peak season, coupled with this year’s recovery of the foreign economy, this season’s foreign orders, relatively more than last year’s almost 30%, so the wall of the production schedule lined up densely. Not to mention want to take a vacation, even on holidays have to work overtime to catch up with the goods, especially the first line of the production department, there is not a moment is idle huge shipping pressure coupled with the big head of the above every day staring at the tight, forcing the people almost out of breath.
After work for a while, as a team leader of course, I have to stay overtime, so every day can only be entrusted to Jiaxie after work, their own hard work a little squeeze bus home, although she knows that I’m busy for the company, and I work overtime to the home, I’ll be on the phone with her a little bit, but two people alone time to get along with the really less, she can understand my difficulties, but inevitably still feel that our feelings between us, because of less time to get along with and began to fade. The time we spend together has become less and started to fade.
Tonight, after working overtime, I got a call from her as soon as I got home, “Yichen, you just got off work?” I said, “Uh-huh! I worked late today, what’s wrong?” She said, “Nothing! Nothing.” I said, “Really? I think you’re weird. If you have something to say, say it!” Later, she said, “You know what, Yat-sen?” It’s been three weeks and four days since we’ve been alone together? She complained, “Last Sunday you said you had to work overtime, and last Sunday you said you had to work overtime again.” Can you work less overtime, don’t even have to work overtime on Sundays, I so hope that you can stay some time with me, won’t you feel that it’s been a long time since we’ve been properly alone together?
I said, “That I know, but you also know that the top is keeping a close eye on shipments for a while now, and time is running out.” As a team leader, I am responsible for my duties. If I don’t take the lead to work overtime, how can the team members below me be willing to stay and work overtime? Believe me, who in the company would rather work overtime at night with their machines than go home to their wives, children or girlfriends? Just be patient for a while, after the shipment is finished, I’ll spend more time with you as soon as I can, okay? Only then did she helplessly say, “Oh.”
I also thought about it in my heart, this time seems to be really too focused on the company’s work, too busy, if she did not remind me, I do not know and she has been so long time did not go out together, has been wanting to work on the performance of the results, but ignored as a girl her feelings!
I said to her, “Well ~ or else I’ll ask my manager for time off this Sunday to see where you want to go, and I’ll spend another whole day with you, kind of make it up to you, okay?” She didn’t react much and said, “Okay! You have to remember! I have something important to tell you too.” I asked her curiously, “What is it? Tell me now!” She said seriously, “No, I can’t! I have to wait until Sunday to tell you in person, so don’t forget!”
The next day, when I opened my mouth to ask my manager for a verbal leave of absence, I hoped that I could not work overtime this Sunday and let me have a day off. The manager, however, said with a difficult look on his face, “Yichen, I know you’ve been working hard for a while!” However, during the meeting yesterday, the business department said that the foreign customers have been out of stock to the point of opening the window of the sky, and in the past few days, they have been urgently calling for us to deliver the goods earlier, so the big head up there has temporarily changed the delivery time, so this batch of goods must be ready by Sunday night at the latest. Monday morning must be on the container to declare customs, this Sunday you will work hard again, plus one off work, I have seen this season’s goods are almost out of the next week should be more relaxed, then the next Saturday, Sunday and then let you take a break well, and so on this batch of goods out of the end of the I will also write a signature up to give you a commendation, but now work hard again!
Although I was disappointed in my heart, but since the manager had said so, I could only reluctantly agree to say, “Okay!” On the scale of feelings and work, although the feelings with his girlfriend is very important, but at this time the work can not be missed, the trade-offs under the decision, but I do not know how to open the mouth to explain this matter to Jiaxi ……….
In the evening I called her, “Hey~ Kassie, umm …… I’m really sorry! Tomorrow still have to rush goods really can not help.” But the manager let me rest next week’s Saturday and Sunday, next week those two days to accompany you, OK? The phone was silent for a while, I can guess, at this time her heart is not good, she was looking forward to so long, we can be good together days but I have been this month, is the head of a bucket and a bucket of cold water poured on her.
I was busy explaining things to her, “Cassie, ugh~ I’m helpless too.” The sound of her softly sobbing came from the other end of the cell phone, I guess she’s trying hard to restrain her agitated emotions and tears right now! I tried to comfort her by saying, “Then I’ll come look for you after my shift on Sunday night, and we’ll go out for a midnight snack together, okay?” She choked on the phone and said coldly, “No!” Then she hung up on me.
Please! Miss, my heart is not as bad as mine! I told her I’d stay with her next week, didn’t I? I wonder why she reacted so strongly. She hung up on me.
When I was calmer, I tried to call again, but there was never anyone to pick up, I know she is deliberately not to pick up ……. I thought in my heart: “At the moment she is angry, according to her personality, I’d better wait a few days for her anger to subside and then call her well.” In the next few days, I didn’t see her in the company, even at lunch time, I guessed that she probably stayed in the office again while eating and catching up on things! On the other hand, I was busy with shipping and scheduling next month’s production schedule, so I couldn’t care too much about her. However, I do wonder why she was so petty this time, and why she was so angry for so long over such a small matter.
Until Friday night, she finally took the initiative to call me, she said: “Yat Chen, this Sunday I want to go out for a walk, can you accompany me?” I thought she was done with her anger and jokingly said, “Little fool, your anger has finally subsided?” I answered her, “Sure! Last week said that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, these two days to accompany you, then you want to go there?” She said, “Well …… I want to go to Freshwater.” I said, “Good! And what do you want to do tomorrow, Saturday?” She quietly said, “Well…I have something tomorrow.” Curious, I asked, “What is it?” She said, “My mom wants me to go shopping with her.”
I took the initiative again and asked her, “What about tonight? We haven’t gone to the movies together for a long time, don’t you love watching horror movies the most?” I heard from Xiao Chen that there’s a horror movie that’s quite good to watch recently, and it just happens to be released on Saturday, so let’s go see it together tonight, okay? Before I could finish my sentence, she interrupted me and said, “I really have something to do tomorrow.” I asked her cautiously, “Are you still angry?” I couldn’t hear any of her emotions, she just said lightly, “No.”
Since she said that, I could only say, “Fine! I’ll see you the day after tomorrow! Get some rest, I love you!” She was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and didn’t say the usual, “I love you too.” Instead, I thought I heard some faint sobbing.
Concerned, I asked her, “What’s wrong with you?” She sniffled and smiled faintly and said, “Nothing! I …… I…I accidentally caught a cold!” I blamed her a bit and said, “Why don’t you take care of yourself? Did you go to the doctor?” She said, “Well, it’s okay, you should get some rest too.” After I hung up the phone, I felt that she seemed strange, but I couldn’t tell what was strange. I didn’t think too much about it at that time, maybe it was because she was not feeling well due to a cold!
To Sunday day, I as before, on time in her home downstairs waiting for her, today she wore a two-piece pink and green shoulder butterfly sleeve shirt, inside a white thin straps small cute, with a beige seven-point denim pants, small reveal her sexy shoulders, in the lively atmosphere with a little bit of maturity in the feeling of the woman.
She met my eyes as I was admiring her and asked me, “Does it look good?” I didn’t hide my inner feelings and said, “It looks good! You look good in everything!” In response to my compliment, she flashed a light pearly swirl and said, “Greedy!” I asked her with concern, “Your eyes seem a bit swollen? Did you not sleep well last night?” As if she was trying to hide something, she hurriedly said, “It’s probably because I’m tired from work lately, plus I drank too much water before going to bed at night!” I said with concern, “Work is important, but you have to take care of your body.” No matter how much I care about you, I can’t be around to take care of you all the time.” Her eyes reddened as I said that, and I hurriedly asked her, “What’s wrong?” She shook her head and said, “No, I haven’t seen you for a long time, it’s touching to hear you say that.” The sun is getting bigger, let’s hurry up and go!
When we got in the car I asked her, “Are you over your cold?” She said absentmindedly, “What cold? Whoa! Whoo~ It’s over.” I said in a broken voice, “You! You’re so old and still so confused! You need to learn to take care of yourself, do you know that? She didn’t show any expression, but softly replied, “Oh!” On the way, she quietly listened to me talk about my recent life and work.
As usual, I held her hand and wandered from store to store in the old streets of Danshui. Usually, if she saw something she liked, she would be excited to take it back as a souvenir, but today, she seemed to be a bit abnormal, as if she couldn’t get up the energy, and all the way there, it felt like she wasn’t very happy, and she seemed to have something on her mind.
Walking along, she suddenly opened her mouth and asked me, “Yichen, where exactly do you like me?” I jokingly said, “I like all of your body, hmmm ~ it would be better if your breasts were a little bigger and your legs a little longer.” Her expression was a bit angry, and her tone was a bit impatient, “I’m serious with you, be serious!” I honestly said, “Okay! Okay! Don’t be angry, I like everything about you!”
She asked me again, “But I can’t control myself when I’m upset and throw a big miss temper, won’t you get angry and hate me?” I reached out and wrapped my arm around her waist and said, “It’s a lie to say that I won’t, sometimes when you’re being unreasonable, I really want to strangle you!” But I know deep down that this is your personality, since I have no way to change your personality, at least I can change myself, I can learn to tolerate you, learn to love you like all of you ah.
When she heard me say that, she felt a little displeased and flicked away my arm around her and said, “Then why do you have to work so hard to be with me? Why do you love so painfully? You can go find another girl?” I laughed at her and said, “So you’ll be angry!” She turned her head and sulked, “I’m not!” I was being clever, simply trying to make her laugh and said, “I’m just a bitch. I love you, and I love no one else but you!” She turned her head to me and said, “You men are all the same, the most skillful in rhetoric, the most deceitful!” In my defense, I said, “I’m not like that old boyfriend of yours, please, don’t confuse me with him.” Then out of the blue she said, “I wish you would go and meet other women, and also buckle A would find a woman more suitable for you.” I touched her head and said, “Little fool, I won’t do that, don’t think nonsense!” But her answer was out of my expectation: “I mean it!” What? What? When I still couldn’t figure out the meaning of her words, she suddenly changed her tone and said, “Yichen, I want to go to Fisherman’s Wharf.” I said, “What’s wrong with that! Let’s go!” After riding on the car, but in my heart, I was still thinking, she just said this sentence to me, in the end, what is the intention? She seemed to have taken the wrong medication today, but after thinking about it for half a day, I still couldn’t figure it out, so forget it!
Holding her hand as we walked along the Lover’s Bridge at Fisherman’s Wharf, she suddenly asked me, “What if one day, and I mean what if? What would you do if we broke up one day?” I thought about it and said, “Maybe I’ll die!” She was shocked to hear my answer! Turning to me skeptically, she asked, “You…you…you wouldn’t be stupid enough to do something stupid, would you?” I laughed and said, “Ha! I’m not going to do anything stupid like that,” I said, “It’s just that if I do lose you, I’m probably going to be sad as hell for a very long time.” I confessed my feelings, “Maybe my heart would die of pain!” She wondered if I was trying to trick her. She asked me, “Don’t lie! I can’t believe you’re so sad!” I asked her, “What would you do if it was you?” She thought about it for a moment, and I don’t know if she was just being mean or purposely angry with me, but she answered me, “So simple, just find another one!” I jokingly said to her, “You’re a very heartless woman, it’s a waste of time for me to treat you so well!” She said faintly, “You only realize it now!”
I felt strange and asked her, “What’s wrong with you today? It’s like you’ve eaten dynamite? Why do I get the feeling you’re weird today?” She casually said, “Yes? Maybe it’s because my MC is here and I’m in a bad mood!” I tried to cheer her up a little by saying, “The sun is almost down now, it won’t be too sunny.” How about we go to the beach? Isn’t the beach your favorite place to go?” She thought for a moment and said, “Whatever!”
I strolled along the beach with Cassie holding her hand, letting the sea wash under my feet in waves, thinking about last week’s missed appointment, which had left her sadly shedding tears on the phone, the first time I had ever let her down and saddened her so much in the duration of our relationship.
While the mood was still good, I mentioned to her, “Cee, I’m really sorry about last week!” She looked away from me over the rippling sea and said, “Let bygones be bygones, and the truth is it wasn’t all your fault!” She turned her head to look at me and gave me an understanding smile that made me hold her hand a little tighter. For her understanding, it made me gratefully say to her, “Thank you!” Perhaps it was the glittering afterglow of the setting sun on the surface of the sea reflecting on the reflection, so that I was careless and did not notice, in fact, Jiaxie’s eyes had already flashed with a different kind of light, of course, I did not notice, she occasionally turned her head to fiddle with the sea breeze blowing a little bit of the action, secretly wiped away the corner of the eyes of the overflow of tears inadvertently …….
A while later, I heard her sniffling from time to time, and I asked her with concern, “What’s wrong?” She made up an excuse and said, “It’s probably because it’s getting cold after dark, and I got a runny nose.” I took off my jacket and put it on her. “I took off my jacket and put it on her. She was touched and said, “Yichen, why are you so nice?” I laughed and joked, “I’m the one who’s not nice! And I’m a big bad guy with a bad heart.” She frowned a bit inaudibly and asked me, “Why?” I said, “Because I want to spoil you so you can’t stay away from me for the rest of your life.” She shook her head and smiled lightly.
I went on to say, half jokingly, “But if and when you choose to fall into the arms of another man that day and decide to leave me, then this will turn out to be my revenge on you as well.” She found it profound and asked, “Can’t understand that? Why?” I frankly explained to her, “Because once he starts treating you badly, you will often remember all the good things I did for you in the past, and then you will feel very painful and regretful!” Only then did she finally understand and couldn’t help but laugh out softly, “Nerve! Why is your heart so bad! You’re such a big bad guy!” But then she didn’t know what she was thinking about, and collected her smile, keeping her head lowered and quietly watching the seawater beating on the beach as the tide came and went.
After a while, she raised her head and asked me, “Yichen, if I really leave you one day, will you be sad?” I held her slightly cold little hand and asked, “Why do you think so?” She looked at me and said, “No, a moment of feeling.” With a faint smile, she said, “In the past, before I fell in love, I always naively thought that love as long as the two people have a firm heart, nothing can break up the two people.” But after I’ve been in love, I realized how firm love, sometimes will be fragile to unbearable. I held her hand tightly and said, “Fool, I forbid you to think like this, I have confidence in our love!” We will definitely be able to hold hands until the end. If one day you do leave me, I will be sad, but I won’t blame you I think I must not have done enough to make you leave me. She glanced at me, I noticed her eyes slightly moist, the corners of her eyes can not help but twitch a few times but she never said anything, just the whole person quietly leaning on my shoulders, I really do not know what her little head is now thinking about?
Later I wanted to make her happier, I held her in the cracks of the rocks on the beach, picking up the beautiful shells washed ashore by the sea, I remember that every time she came to the beach, she was always giddy, pulling me to accompany her to pick up the shells on the beach, she liked to bring the shells back to the house, put them in the small fish tank I gave her, as her trophies of every trip.
I picked up what I thought was a very white, flawless shell and placed it in her palm, but to my surprise she put it back in the water and said, “I have enough, and I’ve already found the one I think is the prettiest.” I played dumb and asked her, “Which one is it? Why didn’t you ever tell me?” She said with a mischievous smile on her lips, “I’m not telling you!” I made a show of chasing after her to make it clear, and she dodged me with a light laugh, the first truly happy smile I’d seen from her today.
In fact, the answer is very simple. If you have ever heard the story of a girl picking up shells at the seaside, you will know what the answer is! The story seems to say: there is a girl in the seaside picked up a beautiful shell, but she felt unsatisfied, always feel that the back of the shell will be bigger, more beautiful, so she so all the way to pick up the shell and then casually discarded, has been unsatisfied with picking up the next, in the end, she regretted! Because she realized that the shell she picked up was the most beautiful and flawless, and when she turned back to look for it, she couldn’t find the shell that she had thrown away, because it had been picked up by another girl who was picking up shells on the beach ……….
Although she did not say it herself, but I have been satisfied in my heart! Because I know that she cherishes this hard won relationship of ours, but as the sky becomes darker and darker, and the sea breeze becomes stronger and stronger, I feel that the Jiaxi beside me seems to be more and more silent ……….
Riding on the bike, back to downtown Danshui, she asked me to stop when I got to the Danshui MRT station, and when I arrived, I stopped and asked her what she wanted. Jiaxie said hesitantly, “I…I have a dinner date with my former classmates tonight.” I said with concern, “Otherwise, I’ll go with you.” She hurriedly said, “No, you don’t know them, I’ll just take the MRT by myself, it’ll be weird if you go.” I said, “Okay! Then take care of yourself!” I made a gesture to push the gas pedal to leave and she stood still and spoke, “Hey! At least give me a ride in the car.” I said, “But it’s hard to park here! If I’m not careful, I’ll get a ticket.” She blushed and said, “I knew you didn’t love me!” When a girl says that, about 90% of guys have to surrender, and of course I’m no exception.
After buying the ticket and waiting for the train on the platform, she actually took the initiative to hold my hand, I turned my head and looked at her with a smile, she also looked at me with a smile, this is a close tacit understanding belonging to the two of us. As the car gradually approached from the distance, I felt that her grip on my hand seemed to be getting tighter and tighter! I asked her with concern, “What’s wrong?” She didn’t say anything, just raised her head, looked at me, and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
As soon as the door of the MRT train opened and the passengers next to her swarmed onto the train, she still stood still? I was still wondering why she didn’t get on the train. She did something that surprised me even more! She suddenly turned around and hugged me and kissed me! It was only when the “beep beep beep beep…” ringing in my ears reminded travelers that the door was about to close that she reluctantly left my lips and let go of her grip on my hand. It’s also the first time I’ve grown up kissing in front of so many people, making even a big man like me feel embarrassed! I think she was too enthusiastic today! This is Taiwan and not a foreign country, attracting people in the neighborhood to stare at the two of us. I’m a bit embarrassed, I said to Cassie, “Okay, get in the car! Get in the car, it’s about to leave, we’ll see you tomorrow!”
She stood by the door and looked at me with a slight smile, until the door slowly closed, she gently waved her hand to me to say goodbye, I also waved to her, in front of her look as if a little reluctant to leave, but also with a touch of contentment smile, when the train gradually started, she was willing to put down her hand in mid-air, to the back of the car lowered his head to walk quickly.
I’ve always found her a bit strange today! One minute she’s cold, the next she’s emotional, one minute she’s strange, the next she’s passionate, so I can’t make sense of it all the time? I can’t tell what’s wrong with her. I can only think that maybe it’s her “PMS” kicking in! Or maybe it’s just that we haven’t been together for too long, right?
Standing on the somewhat cold platform, looking at the distant train, remembering the scene of parting just now, I suddenly felt a slight heartache, and an inexplicable heartache welled up in my heart, and I thought to myself, “Is it possible that I have been infected by Cassie’s spit? After being with her, was I also infected by her with a woman’s sentimentalism?
I called her as usual when I got home and before I went to bed, trying to be concerned and ask her how her dinner with her classmates went. Did you have a good time? But she seemed to have gone to bed, and no one answered her home phone, so I didn’t call her again because I thought she was too tired to play today and went to bed early.
The next morning when I brushed my teeth, my eyelids have been jumping all the time, since I was a kid, my sixth sense is quite effective, whenever something big is going to happen, my eyelids will be jumping all the time, sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes it is a bad thing, and it has been tried and tested time and time again. It seems that today after work should go around to buy a color roll, maybe I’m going to be lucky!
Near noon, go to the warehouse to the product will be done into the warehouse, ran into the warehouse manager Wu Wu said: “Yat-sen, you Ana answer gone, how do you not have a woman to sing with?” I was confused and asked, “What are you talking about?” Xiao Wu said, “Don’t play dumb! I heard that Jia Xi left the company, so how come you didn’t follow her?” I thought Wu was still joking and thought, “Come on, I’m not going to fall for that!” Stop it, it’s not April 1 April Fool’s Day, and besides, I went out with her yesterday.
However, Xiao Wu’s expression didn’t look like he was joking either as he said, “Oh~ Yichen, you’re the one who came less!” Xiao Wu said, “I just passed by the first floor, and I just heard Manager Li of the Personnel Department ask someone to do Jiaxi’s return of labor and health insurance.” And Jiaxie didn’t come today, there are still a lot of girls applying for the assistant lady in the export department, my confidence couldn’t help but start to waver and said, “It can’t be! It shouldn’t be possible.” Wu’s expression was also surprised, “No way! Yichen, you really don’t know about this?”
I went to the third floor of the personnel department with a feeling of anxiety, just met the personnel department of Manager Li, I asked, “Manager Li, I heard Wu say Jiaxi left is it true?” Manager Li said seriously, “Yes! Why are you asking me when you already know?” I shook my head and said, “It’s not like that, I only realized it when I heard Xiao Wu mention it just now.” Manager Li thought I was joking and said, “Yichen, you’re kidding!” “All over the company, everyone knows that you are Jia Xi’s boyfriend, how could you not know!”
I pursued Manager Lee and said, “Is this thing true or not?” Seeing my disbelief, Manager Lee took a copy of the separation letter from its filing cabinet and showed it to me until I saw the signature on it, which was really hers! It was like I had been hit by a stick in the back of my head and was so surprised that I couldn’t speak! Manager Lee said, “I even asked Cassie at the time and she said she had already told you.” I couldn’t believe it was true, and just shook my head vigorously to show that I had no idea beforehand.
I tried my best to suppress my inner excitement, and asked Manager Li with a trembling voice, “When was it that she came to get her separation letter from Cassie?” Manager Li thought for a moment and said, “About a month ago!” I pressed on, “Did she say why she wanted to leave her job?” Manager Li said, “It was written in her separation letter that she was moving to the United States with her family, right?” Manager Lee said, “At that time, I tried to keep her down, after all, she was competent in her position, however, she was still adamant about leaving.” From her words, I could feel as if it was the factor of her family that made her have to go.
When I heard this, I was still in the mood to work, I temporarily excused myself to the manager, and flew to her place. Why did she not say a word to me about such an important matter yesterday when I went out with her for the whole day? I was like a madman downstairs in the Jiaxie desperately calling her home phone and her cell phone to try to contact her, her home phone rang dozens of times but no one ever answered.
And her cell phone came: “The phone you dialed has been suspended, please find out before dialing.” At this moment, I have long been disorganized, six godless, a bad feeling hovering in my heart! My head was blank, just stupidly stood in place, do not know what to do next? I couldn’t believe it! Cassie, the fact that she would leave me without a word!
After a while, the granny who looked at me from the grocery store on the first floor below their house came out, and she opened her mouth with a loud voice and asked me, “Young man, who are you looking for?” I said anxiously, “Granny, hello! I’m looking for Yin Jiaxi who is upstairs on the third floor.” Only then did the granny say in a softer tone, “Oh, so you’re looking for that little girl, Jiaxi! But you’re too late.” As if I were an ant on a hot pan, and as if I were grabbing a piece of driftwood in a sea of despair, I hurriedly asked the granny, “Granny, do you know where she went?” The granny pointed to my motorcycle again and asked me, “Wait a minute! Young man, is that locomotive parked at the gate yours?” I hurriedly said, “It’s mine, sorry! Sorry for blocking the doorway, I’ll move it right away!” The granny suddenly popped up again, “That’s okay! It should be right then! It should be you!” I couldn’t understand what she was talking about, and I had a puzzled look on my face? Then she slowly walked into the grocery store, and her slowness was killing me! She struggled to carry a cardboard box and put it in the doorway and said, “Wait a minute!” She went back inside and I don’t know what she was carrying. It wasn’t until Granny came out with something in her arms that I recognized it! What she was carrying was the small fish tank I had given to Cassie. I began to feel a sense of foreboding in my heart! Why did she give this to me, could it be that she had really left the country?
Granny laboriously put the things on the ground and said, “These two things were sent to me this morning by that little child, Jiaxi.” I asked her anxiously, “Granny, did she say anything else? Like when did she come back?” Granny shook her head and said, “Ugh ~ they left early this morning after six o’clock.” That little waif Cassie then just asked me to give these two items to a young man who came to her on a silver motorcycle. She asked me to keep an eye out for him. She said he’d be here in the next couple of days. I didn’t think you’d be here in a while! This morning, Mrs. Yin and Jiaxie said they had a plane to catch, so they got in a taxi and left.
With disappointment, I said, “Thank you!” to the granny. I carefully carried the cardboard box and the aquarium onto the motorcycle, and pushed the gas pedal to get ready to leave, when the granny called out to me as if she remembered something: “Hey, young man! Young man, when she was leaving, she said something about you opening some boxes.” She went on to say, “I’m an old man, I’m old and my head doesn’t work, I can’t remember what she said.”
I rode home in a hurry, opened the cardboard box to try to find the words she left me, I looked all over the inside but only a few small things about our commemorative, but I still do not die a few times to turn over the deep fear of missing something, not to tell me to open the box? Why couldn’t I find anything? Finally I gave up this meaningless action! I sat down on the floor in a state of despair and kept asking myself why things had turned out this way. Why did she leave the country without telling me first? In the end, what happened in this period of time? What has happened to her? Why didn’t she say a word to me yesterday when we went out together?
The next few days, or has not been able to contact her all I can do is wait quietly, hoping that she will take the initiative to contact me every time the phone rings, I immediately picked up the day after day, but in return, but only time and time again, disappointment on the Jiaxie worry, so that my whole body and mind has been on the verge of collapse …….
Until one night, when I was on the line, I opened the e-mail address without thinking about it, and then I realized that she wanted me to open the e-mail address because I have never been accustomed to using e-mail, and now I am using this mailbox is still to know Jiaxie after she helped me apply for it, so I didn’t think of it at the beginning. In a large pile of junk mail, I finally found what I needed most ~ Jiaxie left me E-mail with the last hope, I anxiously opened to see, want to know in the end what is going on?
Sender: Cassie
Subject of the letter: Dear Yichen Receipt
Contents: Tatsu, do you still remember, a while ago I have been begging you to set aside time to accompany me, I have some things I want to say to you face to face? Originally, last Sunday, I finally mustered up the courage to tell you the whole story so that you could be mentally prepared, because this day is very important to me. At that time, I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart that maybe we still had time to discuss how to solve the problem, but you let me be sad and disappointed, because you still chose to go to work that day!
When I have the courage to tell you, but you do not have the time; when you have the time to listen to me, but I no longer have any courage. It’s as if God is deliberately playing a trick on us, and that’s all I can do to comfort myself.
But now it doesn’t matter to me whether I’ve told you in person or not, it really doesn’t! Because I have decided to leave ……… in peace. My dad’s company set up a branch factory in the United States three years ago My dad was lucky enough to be stationed at the branch as the factory manager to preside over the factory affairs My dad went over and has always hoped that my mom and I can also come over here to accompany him so help us apply for relative immigration, lest he often have to hang on to my mom and I every year, we have to fly back and forth between Taiwan and the United States.
On the one hand, my dad hopes that I can take advantage of my youth to go abroad to see and learn more, and on the other hand, I can also help him deal with the company’s trivial matters, big and small. My mom also prefers to go over there, after all, so that she can take care of my dad and the whole family can be together like a family. At least in the unfamiliar foreign country, there is my daughter can accompany her did not mention to you before, is not want to cause pressure between us I originally expected that this day should not come so soon but things happen, always fast so that people can not be caught off guard!
A few weeks ago, when my mom told me that my visa had come through and that we should be getting ready to leave the country and get out of here, I was really messed up! I don’t want to change what’s happening now, but more importantly I don’t want to leave you, I’ve been trying to convince my parents to let me stay here and live by myself, but they said that I don’t even know how to cook until now, let alone have the ability to take care of all of my own life, and that they don’t feel comfortable with me staying here by myself as a girl, and that there will be no one to take care of me in case something happens. I said at least I have a boyfriend, Yichen will take care of me, but my mom said I’m a girl who hasn’t married yet, and if I run to your house all day long, even if your family doesn’t say anything, other people around you will gossip.
I also told my parents frankly, “But it’s very rare for me to meet a boyfriend who treats me well, so I can’t leave.” My parents advised me, “Silly child, you’re still young, and you’ve only been dating for a short time, you’ll find a boyfriend again.” Besides, in foreign countries, there are many good men, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to find a boyfriend? They really didn’t feel comfortable with me staying here as a girl and insisted that I follow them there. I’ve tried and fought for it, and had a big cold war with my mom for a few days over it, but this time mom and dad seem to have a tough attitude, and it looks like going to the US is something that can’t be avoided! So that means we both might be facing a separation!
Originally intended to go out last Sunday, completely tell you all the things, we face to face rational talk, to see whether it is to be a little harder to continue to go on, or this good get together and goodbye, last week and you agreed, to me it is such an important thing, you do not put in the heart, in front of you, in addition to the eyes of the work, or the work, not at all concerned about my moods and feelings, to see that you so do not pay attention to the relationship between us. The feelings between us, I really disheartened, I give up! I am willing to accept the arrangement of parents.
This separation, perhaps one or two years, perhaps longer may be, even if I can take the time to come back once a year, calmly think about that to our future feelings of maintenance, simply meaningless, I think that no matter how hard we both want to maintain, but in the end can not make up for the difference in time and space, and then how much the letter greetings, is always better than the side of the timely delivery of a cup of warm boiled water do you think so?
If I asked you to wait for me, I think that would be both selfish and irresponsible! I think it would be both selfish and irresponsible to ask you to wait for me, and it would cause you to miss out on other great opportunities, and maybe, in the end, all you’d end up waiting for would be a failure. And I may meet a man abroad who is willing to treat me better than you do! Waiting like this is unfair to both you and me. So for both of us, the best thing I can think of right now is ~ “Let’s break up!”
To break up so peacefully while we still love each other and before one of us goes out to hurt the other, I think that would be the least damaging way for us to go about it!
If you still love me, please respect my selfish decision! Let’s part ways and find our own future! My cell phone number has been deactivated, don’t try to find me anymore, it’s just a waste of your time. Since I am determined to leave you, I will never let you find me again.
Anyway looking back on this whole week, I really don’t know how I survived. Despite how strong I appear to be in the company during the day, it is only with make-up to review the side of the carving task task force to live off the side of the other day, the thought that we are about to be separated, and you can not be by my side to share the pain in my heart, can only be used in the middle of the night with a slight fake carving task force cloud doubt ……
I remember last year when I just entered the company, the first time and you came to Freshwater to play, the whole day down, I found myself as if accidentally go to like your careful, funny, considerate, especially your honesty, that for in the relationship has been hurt me, your honesty gave me a lot of security, I began to doubt myself is not because of the breakup of a moment of loneliness, emptiness to like you?
But later, I realized that since I’ve been with you, I don’t often think about all the sadness and heartbreak with my ex-boyfriend anymore. Instead, I look forward to every moment with you because I feel very comfortable and happy when I’m with you! I started to care a lot about what you think of me as a person, I think this should be the real “like” it!
You must be wondering why I often asked you to bring me to Danshui to play after we dated. Because for me, this place has a lot of memories that belong to our beautiful, first love, and it’s also considered to be the place where the two of us began our relationship, so on the day we broke up, I deliberately chose to be here, to draw a perfect ending for the short-lived relationship between us. Think about our love can choose to end in the most brilliant time, is not also a kind of happiness?
Maybe the fate between us in this life is only enough to last until here, destined to end here, if you really want to find a phrase to describe the two of us, I think “deep love and shallow fate” this phrase is really more than appropriate! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but next Wednesday is our one year anniversary. Next Wednesday will be one year since we met! Unfortunately, with my departure, we won’t even have the chance to celebrate our first anniversary together! Just thinking about it makes my heart ache and sad, and my indisputable tears drip down again.
After spending the whole day together, I think you should have realized that I’m not like my usual self today, right? If it were you, would you be happy when you realize that this is our last day together? I know that along the way, you tried hard to please me, make me happy, for your heart, I am not blind to, just my current mood, can only be forced to smile to you.
Today specially dress up a bit, I hope that in the future to stay in the depths of your memory of me, is still the first encounter, deeply attracted to you that look, although I never feel that I really as you say that kind, beautiful! Thinking back to the road today, it seems that I can’t control myself, I have been trying to make you unhappy and angry in words, now calmly think about it, maybe subconsciously I hope to provoke you to anger you, so that you can scold me, fierce me, and even hate me, and it’s best to make you open your mouth and ask for a breakup, so that I can have enough excuses to persuade myself to be cruel enough to hurt you, who love me so much, and so much less! At this moment, because I will quietly leave you and ask for a breakup, in the heart of carrying a heavy guilt towards you.
On the platform, holding your warm hand for the last time, looking at you gently looking into my eyes, ‘I know you understand me at this moment, know that at this moment I am thinking of you in my heart, I love you!’ This is a long time, only belongs to the two of us wordless tacit understanding. Holding you tightly, kissing you, greedily breathing in the unique scent of your body, I know that this will be the last time, indulging myself in your body to find solace in the soul, how I hope we can always stay in this moment …………. Until the cruel platform bell, soundly reminding me that it is time to leave you, because after I leave you, no matter how much pain, how much regret in the future, have to bear alone.
When I heard you say, “See you tomorrow!” In my heart, I really realized that from tomorrow onwards, our relationship is not only broken up, but also can never see each other again, I panicked! I really panicked! All day in front of you to pretend to be strong, strong suppression of me, finally heard you say this sentence, the emotions completely broke the dike …….
I remember you once said that the way I cried would make your heart ache! I don’t want you to worry, so in my heart desperately told myself that at this time must not fall in tears in front of you, biting hard on the trembling lips, holding back the tears in the eyes of the spinning smile waving a hand and you say goodbye. After getting off the train, I realized that the salty taste in my mouth just now, not only tears, it turned out to be mixed with blood back home, looking at the mirror white lips with little blood, has long been my bite oozing out of bright red blood, but at the moment, I do not feel the slightest physical pain! Because for me, there is no physical pain like the pain in my heart! I’m finally beginning to believe what you said this afternoon, “Yes! My heart would die of pain if I lost you!”
Tatsu: There are so many things I want to tell you, but I don’t know where to start. Remember to go to bed early, don’t work overtime too late, and take good care of your body You’re really nice, I don’t know how to face the unknown future without you. I was naive enough to think that we would go on like this naturally, but I was wrong! Sometimes, I feel that fate can really play tricks on people, especially lovers. Indeed, I never thought that our relationship would end so hastily, what we have promised, please forget about it! I wish you could find a woman who loves you more than I do. You must cherish that lucky woman, mom is already urging me, the sky is also white, it is also time to leave!
How can I let you know, at this time my mood, how reluctant and helpless! If there really is an afterlife, I hope that I can really and you “hold hands with your son and grow old with you”. Sometimes a person quietly think of all this, but also a little reluctant! Karma for both of us is really very unfair, the two genuinely love each other, but can not be carried together to the final beauty …… young and you this wonderful memories, I will treasure in my heart, too late for regrets, I think it will probably be a number of years after my mood portrayal of it! See you one side has been impossible, a thousand words, “I’m sorry for you!”
I have loved your ci pen. ＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞
With the mouse to close the letter, every time I see here, always can not help but want to drink a big mouthful of coffee, so as to dilute the chest that the acid to the melting, people want to flow traces of fluorescence T emotion, although all this has been two years ago, but every time I think back to it, it always feels as if it were yesterday’s events.
Thinking about the love between me and her, in three days will soon expire one year, but this unfortunate death, so short that even I want to salvage, salvage the opportunity to no longer how to regret and self-blame, but has been unable to change the “break up” of this established fact.
Half-cooled coffee in the cup, not as strong as when it was first brewed, but more sour flavor, like a lost love, in the memories of that sweet with bitter, and a little sour feeling, unforgettable! This kind of life unbearable, heartbreaking pain! At that time, it made me take a whole week’s vacation, and in the end, I had to reluctantly get up and go to work.
Every time I read what you wrote in your letter, “If I still love you, I will respect your decision.” Yes, I love you! So I have to watch you leave like this? God knows, I was so upset! I’m not willing to let go like this and let you leave my life! Unconsciously, the time has passed two years, these two years have not the slightest news of you, where are you now? Occasionally, you will be confused, have you taken good care of yourself?
Look at the time is almost time to feed the fish, poured some frozen red worm feed into the small fish tank, the sand under the tank, but also all over some beautiful shells, that is every time and Jiaxi go to the beach to play, belonging to our memories of the two souvenirs, to the point where I still vaguely remember each shell behind the location, mood, weather, the then touched and the two get along with the bit by bit! ………….
Like this small fish tank is once and Jiaxi out to play, in order to avoid the midday sun, ducked into an aquarium to blow the free air-conditioning, casually stroll, she was excitedly clamoring for fish, bought a delicate small fish tank to her, and then accompanied her to discuss the selection of what kind of fish to keep.
As a result, she fell in love with a little guy, probably less than the size of a dollar copper plate, this little guy not only looks, even the name is very cute, called “gold doll” glittering green body in addition to small golden spots, there is also a small golden star on the head, small mouth is curved toothed, relying on only two small fins, floating slowly in the water. The clerk explained that this is a kind of freshwater river puffer, when angry, the whole will be up, the skin will also grow small spines, the clerk also introduced a kind of whole body is colorful, called “rainbow doll”, there is also a kind of body has a golden figure of eight, so it is called “figure of eight doll”, Jiaxi saw another kind of green body in addition to the golden spots, there is a small golden star on the head, the small mouth is curved, only by two small fins, slowly floating in the water. “When Cassie saw the other one, which was slightly black, she screamed, “I know! I know! This must be called a “black doll”!” The clerk laughed and told her, “Look closely, it’s chocolate-colored, that’s why it’s a “chocolate doll”.” Cassie jokingly asked the clerk, “Can I eat the chocolate doll?” The clerk warned her, “These little pufferfish are poisonous! Don’t eat them!”
It was my first time to keep a fish, and I was afraid that I would keep all the fish in heaven, so we bought a cute little gold doll to try out, and sometimes it would drift into places where the current was too strong and get washed around, not knowing where it had gone! Cassie loved to tease this little golden doll, and she often joked, “It looks so clumsy and slow, just like me.” I laughed back at her, “When it’s angry, it looks like you when it’s angry, with its little mouth pouting, its body bulging, and its thorns all over its body!”
Every time I think of this memory I have with her, I can’t help but smile and laugh out the corners of my mouth. In the past two years, no matter how busy and tired I am, I will never forget to feed her every day before bed, and occasionally buy some live shrimp to help her add food, perhaps based on a kind of “empathy” I have for Jiaxi!
I remember when I first broke up, whenever I rode my bike or walked down the street, as long as I saw a girl with short reddish-brown hair and a similar figure, I would chase after her with a sense of anticipation, but the results proved to be my own delusion, and I was disappointed again and again! I was also afraid to hear the song “Promise” unintentionally, which would make me inexplicably depressed all day long, especially the lyrics of that line: “Be happy yourself, take care of yourself, even if you’re alone someday…” I didn’t expect that! I didn’t realize that it was really a prophecy.
Ask myself, “Am I happy?” No, I should say I am not happy! ‘Because I don’t have you by my side to share life with.’
Later, Mom and Dad know that I broke up with Jiaxi, although I feel very surprised, but understand the circumstances of the matter, they can only accept the fact that they have been advised to open up a little, girlfriend and then find there, just my mouth are good, but the ear is how not to listen to the call, always listen to not too into. Later in the day, Chen and Zheng, they are also eager to help me about a few times, so that I and other departments of the company, about the same age of the ladies to go out to dinner to meet and get to know, a few times down, in addition to let me feel to find a mutually compatible object, is really not easy outside, but also more clearly realize that people and people can meet in the same place, and more know each other, it is a very lucky thing!
New Year’s days, did not go to the island with Zheng, Wu and their I stayed at home to each room are thoroughly cleaned, and by the way to replace some of the decorations at home, change the atmosphere of the home environment, swept out a whole lot of useless things, see the dusty box under the bed for a long time, the heart hesitates to open it? Deeply afraid of a open and accidentally fall into the whirlpool of memories, a long time can not own, and finally pushed it into the bed under the darkness of the sun ……….
In the evening, I went to the street and picked out a set of blue embroidered bedspreads, replacing her favorite pink bedspreads. I remembered that every time she took a bath, she would always wear her pajamas and hide under the quilt with her wet feet, and every time I made a gesture of pulling her out of the quilt, she screamed that she was so cold, and pulled the quilt in a lovely manner! The scent of her charming hair still lingers on the pillowcase, reminding me of the countless nights I spent with her here.
I accidentally saw the shell wind chime I bought in Danshui hanging next to the window, the wind chime that represents the fate of our relationship. I should try to forget her and start a new life, I can’t keep living in the beautiful memories of the past, can I? When I reached out to take it down, a gust of wind blew, and there was a “tinkling…dangdang…” sound, as if it were begging me not to be so cruel as to throw it away. Maybe it means that I am still subconsciously a little bit attached to her! Packing up all the memories that once belonged to her, I think the garbage truck tomorrow evening should clean up these for me!
A few days after the New Year’s Eve, Xiao Chen met me and said, “Yichen, the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival! I’ve arranged to go to Pingxi to see the sky lanterns with Mr. Long, Mr. Zheng, Ms. Qi, Mr. Wu, and Ms. Hui, so let’s go together!” I said, “Forget it, you guys just go, I’m not in the mood, I don’t really want to go.” Xiao Chen said, “What’s wrong with watching the lanterns? Let’s go together!” I said lazily, “Some other time!” Chen exaggeratedly said, “Yichen, please help us out! It’s the only day of the year when the lanterns are released, so it can’t be changed!” I said politely, “I’m not in the mood, really, you guys should just go.” Xiao Chen, who knows my personality, said, “Okay, okay! Well! Do not force you!” However, Yat Chen, advise you really need to look away earlier, after all, things have also been over for so long. I patted Xiao Chen’s shoulder and said, “I know! But it still needs some time, first of all, wish you guys have a good time!”
On Sunday, when I woke up and went to the 7-11 convenience store at the entrance of the alley to buy breakfast and a newspaper, I inadvertently saw a banner fluttering on the main street nearby: “Meet in Pingxi, happiness is ten points” I don’t know why, but when I woke up early today, my eyelids started to flutter. I hesitated for half a day. Go? No? I don’t know where the urge came from! I took a clean and warm jacket and a digital camera and rode to Pingxi by myself.
The weather was not bad when I left the house, but when I rode halfway, it started to rain. I sighed in my heart, “It’s really unlucky that it rains as soon as I want to leave the house! Plus, the wind along the way was not small, and my face stung by the rain. If it continued to rain, the sky lanterns wouldn’t be able to fly at night, and it wouldn’t be much to look at, so I’d rather go home and watch the live broadcast on TV! I’d rather go home and watch the live broadcast on TV. Just want to go home, said also really strange! After a turn the rain somehow stopped, and even the ground began to dry out.
I also continue to ride on, because there is traffic control, so private cars can not drive up the mountain, there are almost no cars on the way, riding leisurely feeling really good! Especially once I entered Pingxi Township, the whole mood was relaxed, I couldn’t see any high-rise buildings in front of me, it was just a single bungalow with a long history, and the dog on the roadside was also lying on the ground lazily looking at the buses carrying travelers up the mountain, and I rode for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the “Ten Horses”, and looked for a seat that wouldn’t be too crowded. After parking the motorcycle, although it was only 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon, there were already tourists trying out the sky lanterns.
A train full of tourists slowly heading in the direction of the train station and go, the train tourists enthusiastically waved their hands and greeted the tourists outside the window, suddenly a strange feeling welled up in my heart, as if there was a familiar figure in the train window! Is it her? I then shook my head and thought to myself, “Don’t be silly, it’s impossible!” Whenever it comes to these damn Lantern Festival, Western Valentine’s Day, Tanabata Valentine’s Day, Christmas Day…as long as it’s about lovers’ festivals, my delusion will be particularly serious! In my heart, I asked myself, “It’s been two years, am I still disappointed enough? Do I still refuse to die?
Because of the afternoon eyelids have been jumping, so I walk with special care, has been paying attention to the movement of the sky, afraid of an inattention, the sky fell down a sky lanterns, and good dead set in my head, then I’m sure that the night on the nightly news headlines, there have been some people because of the mutton stove to eat lamb to eat to the penis of two, three degrees of scorching, but also because of the book, on the television, but has not heard of someone because of the release of sky lanterns, put two, three degrees of scorching, I do not want because of this like the mummy in the movie “Legend of Gods and Ghosts”, like the head wrapped in bandages on the television. I don’t want to be like the mummy in the movie “Legend of Gods and Ghosts” with bandages all over his head on TV because of this.
Walking only a short distance from the venue “Ah! Shit!” Suddenly I realized that I had left my digital camera in the trunk of my motorcycle and had forgotten to take it out. I had to walk back to the place where the locomotive was parked and took out my camera, the fence of the level crossing in front of me was slowly lowered, and a train full of tourists came from afar, I followed the customs of the country and also smiled and waved warmly at the foreign tourists on the train that I didn’t know ……….
“Hello, Taipei City!” When I got into the taxi, I unconsciously tugged on my collar, thinking that it was already March, but how could it still be so cold in spring? The driver asked me, “Yes? Miss, you look like you haven’t been back for a long time.” I looked at the drizzly gray sky and said thoughtfully, “Yes, it’s been two years! It’s been two years!” I asked, “Mr. Driver, do you know where the sky lanterns will be set off for this year’s Taiwan Lantern Festival?” The driver replied, “This year, it’s at “Ten Tenths of a Mile”.” He explained that every year, the lanterns are released either at Pingxi Junior High School or at Tatliu, once a year!” I asked him, “Ten-Tenths Liu? How do I get there? Can you take me there?” He said, “Oh! He said, “Oh! I can’t do that!” I said, “What’s wrong?” He said, “The roads up to the mountains are controlled by traffic, only people who live in the area can drive in.”
He went on to say: “However, you can take the sky lantern to pick up the parked bus at the Muzha Zoo.” But every year, a lot of people ride the bus, all the way up the mountain road, I’m afraid that Miss you will ATOS. I’ve been abroad for two years, but I’ve never heard of ATOS, I do not understand asked the driver, “What is ATOS?” The driver was very proud to say: “In vain, you live abroad still do not understand Oh! It’s called A-Tu-Shi (Taiwanese: “You’ll puke to death”).” I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I heard the driver’s strange English, the driver was really funny!
The driver added, “But there is another way to get there by train, you can take the train to Ruifang Railway Station, then change to the small train to Pingxi, get off at the tenth station and then walk a short distance.” Later, the driver also took the initiative to chat with me about things, and all of a sudden, I was in Taipei after a two-year absence. The streets and buildings hadn’t changed much from when I left, and I think what had changed the most would have been my mood, right? It’s been two years, and I’m back!
When I arrived downstairs, I asked the driver to wait for me downstairs for a while, I carried my luggage upstairs and put it away, took my small bag and hurriedly got into a taxi “Mr. Driver, please I want to go to Taipei Railway Station!”
Looking at the rain that kept hitting the window, watching the train station one stop from the eyes of the fly past, I do not know how long to sit, and finally arrived at the destination: “very station” I followed the tourists off the train, only to realize that the rain outside the window, it turned out that the rain has already stopped. Mottled white train station sign erected on the platform, three or two old people in the riding downstairs chess, tea chat, gray clouds in the sky moving slowly, the air is full of moisture and the smell of fresh earth, the first feeling I get here is very countryside, very retro, a feeling of closeness! Feel free to walk on the railroad tracks on a piece of sleeper, beside all the tourists from all over the endless influx of couples and the whole family are excited to take pictures on the tracks, or wait for the train into the station, grab in front of the locomotive to take pictures to commemorate the event.
Raise his head can still vaguely see a few, slowly floating up to the sky square round paper lanterns, so this is the sky lanterns ah! Growing up for the first time to see the sky lanterns in person, a few pieces of paper paste a paste can fly up so high in the sky, really special!
In this unfamiliar place, also do not know where to go, can only move slowly with the crowd, as the sky gradually darkened, the fence of the level crossing also when! When! When! When! When! When! The sound of the fence was put down, see around a pair of hand in hand around the couple and husband and wife, see a good envy! Only they are alone, this feeling is really touching the scene of sadness!
It seems like the temperature is starting to drop again, and a cold wind blows through, so I can’t help but shiver again! I was so annoyed! Just now in a hurry to go out, actually forgot to bring out the only jacket in the luggage, look, in this remote place and no one in the sale of clothes and jackets can only wrap their arms for warmth, thinking: “God! Can’t it be that I’m going to be freezing like this all night?” After the train passed, the fence of the level crossing slowly rose, eyes face to face with the crowd across the street, doubt ~ a man seems to have been watching me?
After greeting the enthusiastic tourists on the train, blocking the view of the opposite side of the train passed, there was a figure in the opposite crowd that particularly attracted my attention, it was a girl with a head of beautiful long hair, she had a head of light reddish-brown soft and shiny long hair, flowing naturally over her shoulders, a white melon face with very personalized thin eyebrows, and shapely lips coated with a layer of pink tender glossy lip gloss felt like a person who was extremely, a I was haunted and familiar with the figure!
I told myself in my mind that it was probably my hallucinations acting up again! “Don’t be silly, it can’t be her! It’s probably another woman who looks and feels like her!” She and I are now thousands and thousands of kilometers away from each other in the Pacific Ocean? How could she possibly be here!
But my eyes, still can not help but look at that girl, because she exudes the temperament and feeling, really with “she″ like! I couldn’t stop staring at the girl, trying to find her shadow on her body, but, strangely enough, why was it that when the train passed, everyone started crossing the level crossing? When the train passed and everyone started to cross the level crossing, the girl with long hair stood still with her arms wrapped around her, looking far away from my direction, could it be that she was waiting for someone? I also wondered why I was looking at her in such a big, blatant, unabashed way when her eyes weren’t flashing at all?
We just sized each other up for a while, until she excitedly covered, with one hand, her little mouth that was slightly open due to her surprise, and also showed a smile out of the corner of her eye, and at that moment, it was as if my whole body was struck by 100,000 volts of voltage! It was her! The woman in front of me was really her! I really couldn’t believe it! This time it really wasn’t my hallucination! Oh, my God! I wanted to hit the locomotive to see if I was still daydreaming! H’s appearance may change over time, but I will never mistake her eyes, which seem to be talking and smiling!
I slowly walked towards her and stopped in front of her, I could see that her bright eyes, flashing a strange light in the corner of her eyes are also still excited to slightly trembling. Her expression was also the same as mine, a look of disbelief! At this moment, I was really sure that it was her, she was “Yin Jiaxi”, yes! I stood in front of her, trying to recall the countless times I had thought about what I should say when I saw her again. Now there was a blank space in my mind, and I couldn’t think of a single word. Only barely able to nervously squeeze out of my mouth, “Hi! Long time no see!”
With tears still glistening in her eyes, she said a little reproachfully, “It’s been a really long time! It’s been about two years, right?” She said, “Yichen, you’ve changed! I almost didn’t recognize you!” I smiled slightly and asked, “Have you?” She took a closer look and said seriously, “Yes, you’ve grown your hair longer and curlier, and you’ve grown a beard on both sides of your cheeks on purpose, so you’re going for a decadent look!” I said, “You’ve changed a lot too, I didn’t think you’d grow your hair long to look more mature.” I was not sure it was you, but I didn’t expect you to recognize me first, and it was only when you laughed that I was sure it was you! She couldn’t hide her excitement as she asked, “Why are you here?” I asked her back, “That’s not right! I should be the one asking you that, right? What are you doing here?” She couldn’t help but laugh out loud and told me that she just got off the plane and came back to Taiwan today.
It was then that I had a chance to take a closer, head-to-toe look at her, a lavender chiffon gauze blouse with a thin white knitted tunic over it, the same lavender knee-length printed skirt, revealing a small portion of her calves, and a pair of gold spaghetti strapped, pinch-heeled, diamond encrusted sandals on her feet, as well as a small, white tote bag. If it was now in Yangmingshan where the temperature was twenty or thirty degrees, then she gave a very comfortable, spring feeling!
But in the mountains, where the temperature is only 7 or 8 degrees, and it will get even colder at night, her thin clothes give people a very “stupid” feeling! Wearing these two pieces of clothing that can’t protect her from the cold, wouldn’t she feel very cold? I carefully looked at her exposed white legs and arms, I realized that she was so cold that even her hairs stood up, and her goosebumps came out!
I told her, “Wait here for me! Don’t leave!” She looks like she wants to ask, but doesn’t quite dare, “Uh-huh! And where… where are you going?” I ran quickly across the level crossing and pulled something out of my motorcycle panniers, which I had intended to wear in case it got too cold in preparation for my ride down the mountain later in the day, but I didn’t realize it would come in handy now! I came back with a beige cotton feather jacket, and she looked at me with a puzzled expression on her face. After she saw what I was holding, she bit her lip and turned her head away to stifle a smile! I handed it to her and said, “This is very light and warm, hurry up and put it on, or catch a cold can be bad!” She smiled and said, “It seems that today I am quite lucky, as soon as I came back, I met a valuable person!” She was touched and said, “You are still as attentive and considerate as before, thank you!”
After she put on her jacket, she put her hands in her pockets to keep warm. Looking at her little nose, which was already a bit red from freezing, and sniffling constantly, I asked, “The damn weather in Taiwan has made you freeze, right?” She grumbled, “Yeah! The weather is so much worse than abroad,” she complained, “It was cold in the taxi, but on the train, the air conditioning was on, and I almost froze to death! It’s my fault for leaving my jacket in my suitcase and forgetting to bring it out. There are no stores in the village, and no stores in the back of the village, and there’s no store selling the jacket I want to buy.
While she was talking, I noticed her eyes, from time to time, gazing at the roadside stall selling roasted fairy grass, as I pulled out the change in my pants pocket, while gently tugging on the corner of her jacket to drag her to the vendor, I told the owner of the roasted fairy grass seller, “Boss, two cups of roasted fairy grass.” I said, “I’m going to add peanuts, crunchy rounds, green beans, and big red beans to mine, and then whatever she wants to add to hers, just don’t add any of the sencha.” Cassie gave me a grateful look, looking forward to her bowl of hot roasted sencha, and without thinking too much, the boss said, “Wow!” He quickly and skillfully served my bowl first. Later, after he finished serving my bowl, he asked, “Sir, the other bowl is full of ingredients, if you don’t add the sencha, Miss, will she choke to death?”
Jia Xi, who was originally still looking happy and expectant, realized in a flash that I was deliberately teasing her after hearing what her boss said! She instantly fell down and said, “Lin…Yi…Chen!” I couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Just kidding! Boss, the other bowl is just like mine.” She first pursed her lips and turned her head to glare at me pretending to be angry, then she couldn’t help but laugh out loud as well and said, “You’re bad! Trying to choke me to death is right!” She happily said as she ate, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had roasted fairy grass, such a familiar flavor!”
I just happened to have my camera with me today, so I suggested, “Can we ask someone to take a picture of us together?” She gave me a look, then nodded and said, “Sure!” With that, she and I each stood on a railroad track, each in the silent victory sign, and asked someone to take a picture of us. I said, “It’s still early in the day, and the sky lantern releases haven’t started yet, so why don’t I show you around.” She didn’t object and said, “Sure!” I then rode my bike and drove her to Pingxi, which is not far from here, and halfway there, with anticipation, I mustered up the courage to ask her, “So…how long do you plan to stay this time?” She pursed her lips and squeezed out a smile, “Oh, I’m only staying for two weeks.” My original mood of anticipation instantly fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, ruthlessly falling to pieces, and suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence between each other.
Originally thought that in this life, probably can never see Jiaxie her, after the breakup, can not see her again, has been my heart hidden pain regret! But now, she is alive and well in my body, also can be regarded as God in this life treat me not bad, realize my wish, give me a chance to make up for their own once caused by the regret, think about it, that now I have what good disappointment?
With a satisfied smile, I said, “Then you’re going to have to have a good time shopping this trip back!” She frowned and studied me with a surprised, puzzled look on her face, and I’m sure she was wondering in her mind what had caused me to make a hundred and eighty degree change in attitude from just a few moments ago, right?
I took her to the quaint old streets of Pingxi and introduced her to their history from room to room… I pointed to a noodle stall made of plastic canvas next to the iron bridge and said, “This is the Red Turtle Noodle Stall, and it’s been around for 50 years.” She was surprised and said, “Wow, 50 years!” I said, “My grandpa used to take me there when I was a kid, and I still remember its marinated sausage was superb!” I also took her to the Pingxi Post Office so that she could see the only remaining iron mailbox from the Japanese rule era in Taiwan.
I told her, “I don’t think I’ve ever told you that I lived here for a while when I was a kid, and I spent my childhood here.” She was a little surprised and said, “You haven’t always lived in Taipei since you were a kid? You grew up in Pingxi when you were a kid? I really didn’t know that yeah!” She tilted her head with her index finger propped up on her chin and asked me curiously as she thought about things, “What were you really like as a child?”
I said, “I’ll say, but you’re not allowed to laugh!” She nodded her head in agreement and said, “When I was a kid, I used to wrap my diaper around me and naughty run to the railroad tracks to pile up rocks.” Whenever my grandmother found out, she chased me with a bamboo stick and said, “Ah Chen! How many times have I told you not to play with rocks on the railroad tracks? I’ve told you many times that you’re not allowed to pile up rocks on the railroad tracks, but you don’t listen.” I would drag a two to three pound bag of diapers underneath my pants, shake my head and run desperately for her to chase me, and eventually my grandmother would catch me and give me a “bamboo shoots fried with shredded pork”, often with a snotty face and a tearful face.
When Cassie heard this, she imagined the scene and laughed until she bent over, holding her stomach and said, “I can’t do this! I deliberately teased her, saying, “Didn’t you promise not to laugh just now?” She laughed until tears came out of the corners of her eyes and said, “This is really funny, I now realize that you have been so naughty since you were a child!”
I said, “You don’t know a lot of things that were funny when I was a kid!” She demanded that I tell her, and I whetted her appetite by saying, “You said you wouldn’t laugh, but what happened? I said, “You said you wouldn’t laugh, but what happened?” She put her hands together and begged me, “Come on! Please! Please. It’s really funny and I want to hear something else.” Along the way, as I walked, I told her some of the stupid and funny things I did as a kid that made her laugh so hard she had to stop for a break.
I also took her by the scruff of the neck and dragged her to the road under an iron bridge, asking her to stand and wait for a moment, and she asked me in bewilderment, “What are we doing standing over here?” I introduced myself and said, “This bridge is the Pingxi Iron Bridge, it has been there since I was a child, it is very old.” She said in disbelief, “It’s just an iron bridge! Then what?” I said, “Almost, it’s coming! It’s coming!” Before I could finish my sentence, a train passed over our heads, the sharp sound of the railroad tracks, accompanied by rumbling, rumbling and the loud sound of the train whistle, “Ba ~ ″, when the train passed, I whispered loudly in her ear, “You’ve never been run over by a train before, have you?” She rubbed her hand over her heart and said loudly with a shocked look on her face, “Run over your head! You didn’t tell me first, so I was scared to death! My heart was about to jump out” Hearing her say this made me feel the pleasure of playing a prank on her, and I laughed out loud. I imitated her earlier frightened exaggerated expression to show her she bit her lower lip, blanked me also laughed out and said: “You’re very annoying! You’re teasing me on purpose!”
This is the Pingxi Railway Station, which is very old. My grandmother said, “When I was a kid, I used to sit on the steps of the station wrapped in a diaper with a popsicle and lick it slowly.” Also with the neighborhood children of the same age, about this small road in front of the train station, riding a small bicycle with the train awkward car, and later because to go to Taipei to study kindergarten class, only to leave this place, she was fantasizing about my years of silly images, and laughed out again.
Later, she looked at me quietly for a while and said in a different way, “If I could, I’d really like to go back and see you when you were a kid, what was it like?” I immediately said, “No!” She asked skeptically, “Why not?” I said, “If you really go back in time, you will definitely hit me then!” She asked seriously, “Why do you think I would definitely hit you?” I said, “Because when I grew up, my grandma told me that I knew how to curse people at the age of three.” Cassie laughed out loud and said, “Lin~Yi~Chen! You’re giving me a tummy ache again!”
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the sky lantern party was about to start, we drove back to Tshiliao. I introduced that the most special thing about Tshiliao was that the houses were right next to both sides of the railroad tracks, and almost as soon as the gates were open, they were connected to the railroads, and the locals crossed the railroads as if they were crossing the street, and the trains would slow down to this part of the street and whistles would be blown to indicate warnings, and the two sides of the railroads were regarded as the most bustling shopping streets in Tshiliao. On both sides of the railroad is the busiest shopping street in Tatliao, but they are only small businesses.
I pointed to one of the store still hangs the public sale bureau tobacco and liquor monopoly iron plate said, thirty, forty years ago the grocery store (kanzai store) is like this, Jia Xi curiously walked in, looked inside the antique grain], because Jia Xi she is younger than me five years old, coupled with the fact that she grew up is to live in the metropolitan area, unlike me so to the present in front of this, compared to me, she is very unfamiliar with it.
I slowly explained to her that in the past, snacks were packaged in sealed, transparent plastic cans, and that these cards were called inibs, and that there were many ways to play with them! In the past, we used to play with a stack of them after class, and this one was called “Hole Fun”, where you would pick a hole with your finger and poke it down, and there would be small toys in the hole, and this one was called “Drawing Fun”, and there were many kinds of “160 Drawing Fun”, “400 Drawing Fun”, and “…… Fun” when I was a kid, and it was a dollar that you could draw two of them, and if the number was drawn, you would have toys or something like a mung bean cake, She asked excitedly, “Is that the kind of thing we saw some stores selling in fresh water?” I nodded my head. I nodded, “Yes! Only here it’s something you can play with on the spot. A moment later she pointed to a few of the toys, saying that they were the ones she had seen in elementary school like a bamboo dragonfly made of bamboo slips, a wooden gyroscope, and a rubber band gun …….
Curious, she asked, “Strange? How come you know it so well, like you know it like the back of your hand?” She said with a sudden realization, “Oh, I know! So you didn’t come home on time after elementary school and went to play this!”
I also said in all seriousness, “My mom doesn’t even know about this until now, big deal, I’ll buy you a sarsaparilla later.”
At first she was skeptical, had she heard wrong? Asked, “What? Sarsaparilla?” I pretended to plead, “I don’t have much pocket money, so I’ll add you a pack of Little Prince Noodles at most!” Jiaxie was so amused by me that she died of laughter, she said with an angry and amused look on her face, “Lin Yichen, can you be so funny? I can’t stand you anymore!”
Later, she also childishly bought a childhood she often played in the space bubble, that is a small strip of colorful glue, blowing a good balloon can be held in the hand and patted without breaking, the balloon will be refracted with the light of the colorful colors, only there will be a bad smell of chemical smell.
She suddenly said, “Yichen, there’s one thing, don’t be angry!” I was confused and asked, “What is it?” As a result, she suddenly slapped a blown up balloon on my face, and the balloon broke, and I saw a transparent film sticking to my face, and she happily looked at her masterpiece! She was afraid that I would retaliate and hurriedly said, “I said it first, you can’t be angry!” She said nostalgically, “When she was in elementary school, she used to play with her classmates like this.”
Along the road from the train station to the Sky Lantern venue, there were all kinds of vendors, including food, drinks, and games. Jiaxie and I started to stroll from stall to stall, and she was curious to play with all kinds of items, probably because she was back in her familiar environment and did not have this kind of local flavor in foreign countries, so she felt especially happy next to me! She said happily, “Look, look, this is so cute! There’s nothing like this abroad.” Wow! This one’s cute, too! I want to buy one and take it home with me!
It was almost dinner time, I passed by a barbecue stall, I picked out a few skewers and gave them to the owner’s wife, I asked Jiaxi, “What do you like to eat, take it yourself, don’t be polite.” Although she said she wasn’t very hungry, but just by looking at her secretly gulping, anyone could tell she was hungry! It’s probably because I’m beside her! She looked a bit awkward, wanting to take it but not quite daring to do so, hesitant, in the end, she politely took only a chicken wing and a bunch of chicken hearts, according to my understanding of her, I know what she was worried about? She was thinking that she was no longer my girlfriend, and she was too embarrassed to let me treat her like before, so she only dared to take a little bit!
I took it upon myself to take a few more skewers, her old favorites of shiitake mushroom skewers, string beans, bacon kebabs, and pig’s blood cakes and put them in her basket and said, “Aren’t these your favorites, why don’t you take all of them?” She first looked surprised, then regained her composure and said, “Well…I’m on a diet, I can’t eat this much!” I secretly laughed, “Losing weight?” In the past, she used to eat at least five or six skewers just for snacks! And she never ate too much fat, now she would even want to lose weight? It’s really the sky falling red rain, the sun coming out from the west! To me, the person who used to know her best, “losing weight” is a really bad excuse!
She peeked at me intentionally or unintentionally, probably because she wanted to know what I was snickering at just now, but didn’t dare to ask, right? While the boss’s wife was busy grilling meat and didn’t have time to pay attention to us, she finally couldn’t help but open her mouth and asked me, “Yichen, what were you laughing at just now?” I quickly thought for a moment and said, “Nothing! Just now, my armpits were ticklish.” She didn’t expect me to say that, and she laughed out loud! Almost even spit out of her mouth, she said with amusement and exasperation, “You’re very blind!”
Later, when she was about to pay the bill, she was still embarrassed and took out her wallet to pay by herself, but I forced her to take the money she handed to the boss’s wife and shoved it back into her hand, saying, “It’s rare for you to come back, so let me treat you to a meal!” Carrying a full bag of steaming hot kebabs, we strolled on, and one after another she bought some like: crepes, fried corn, roasted corn, mountain pork sausage, lo mei, stinky tofu …… I thought in my heart: “Mouth said to lose weight, she so buy this kind of food, it is best to also lose weight. ” She was also excited to buy a, she thought it was very cute big head dog small lantern to carry in response to the scene.
As we walked, Cassie walked right in front of me with her two small handbags crisscrossed behind her, walking backwards and staring at me the whole time, and I raised an eyebrow and asked her, “Do I have something on my face? Why else would you keep looking at me?” Then she asked, “Yichen, why do I always feel as if you can read what’s going on in my mind?” I asked her, “Like what?” She said pleasantly, “For example, what do I want to eat today, what do I want to buy?” I laughed shallowly, “How should I put it? It should be considered a tacit understanding!”
She asked me again, “Doubtful~ And how do you know what’s on my mind?” I was thinking about how to answer her question without being too sensitive and sharp. Then I thought of a very suitable answer, and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud! She was puzzled and said, “What are you laughing at? Is my question that funny?” I said, “You don’t want to know the answer to that question.” She was a bit anxious and said, “Of course I want to know, just tell me!” I said, “First things first, you can’t get angry, it’s the piggy who gets angry!” In order to know the answer, she agreed, “Okay!”
I said, “All I had to do was look at the way you kept turning back frequently, looking at that stall relentlessly, and drooling almost all over the floor, and I knew you were interested in what was in that stall.” When she heard me talk about her like that, she just laughed lightly and said to me, “Am I like that? Cut it out! You’re lying!” I think she’s different from before, the old her would have raised her little pink fists long ago now to chase after me She’s more mature than before, and also introverted hairpin h, knows how to hide and repress her true inner emotions and feelings, I think these two years have invariably changed her quite a bit.
She thought seriously for a moment and asked me, “Yat-sen, have I really been like this all along?” I answered her, “You think so? How else would I all happen to know what you like?” She murmured, “So that’s how it is, I didn’t even know?” On the way, she stole a few more glances at me, and I think she should be a little surprised right now! Why do I still know her so well!
But the answer I want to say in my heart is: “Fool, I am using my “heart” to socialize with you.” In the process of dating, all your personality, likes and dislikes, I will try to remember. But this kind of sincere words, I dare not in front of her face, honestly say out, maybe, she felt embarrassed, but deliberately with me to keep a distance But a thought of two weeks later, she is going to take the plane away from me, I think not to say that is a friend, and even in this life later want to see the face of the opportunity again, is also very slim!
There was a huge signboard for the lantern festival standing on the front, and Cassie softly read out the words on it: “The sky lanterns are flying, happiness is coming.” I casually said, “It’s a lie!” When Cassie heard this, she asked curiously, “Why is it a lie?” I said, “Oh, it’s nothing!” She smelled something wrong and said, “Don’t be silly! I can tell by looking at your face that something is wrong.” I said, “Didn’t I tell you I’ve been here before?” She nodded and said, “Yeah! Don’t I remember you saying before that you came here with that girlfriend you had before?” I said, “Well, at the time, I was also looking at the sign on the board, and I bought the sky lanterns on a whim to put them up.” She was puzzled and said, “And then what?” Only then did I explain to her that before I had bought the sky lanterns to make my ex-girlfriend happy, first the banknotes in my wallet flew first, and although the sky lanterns also flew up to the sky as I had hoped for, my girlfriend ended up running away not long afterward, and happiness literally flew away.
She couldn’t help but laugh out softly when she heard it, “Geez! I didn’t know that you had this story before?” So basically, I don’t really believe in this kind of “the sky lanterns are flying, happiness is coming” crap anymore, it’s all a scam! She gloated a bit and said, “Just one bad experience, aren’t you a bit too cynical?”
She looked at me again and said, “I thought you had such a cute expression on your face when you just said that!” I said, “When you call a man in his early 30’s cute, you’re supposed to be referring to his imbecility, right?” She pretended to look innocent and said, “You said it yourself, I didn’t!” Then, she looked at me while clicking her tongue and laughing! I think she was probably making fun of me for the stupid things I did for my ex-girlfriend in the past!
Finally arrived at the venue, because it had rained before, the concrete steps are still wet, the venue has set up a number of TV stations SNG car broadcast with a high platform, surrounded by a large number of camera equipment stands, we specially picked a higher ground, a better view of the seat, I looked at it, but also went to look for a large plastic bag used to install the lanterns spread on the stone steps, so that we can sit and watch the program, and pants will not get wet, she generously with an admiring look and said, “You’re so smart! Watching the program, and pants will not get wet, she generously with admiring eyes, said: “You’re so smart!”
We were sitting on the table and just about to start eating when a couple of young men and women, probably high school students, came in front of us! Because they were standing right in front of us, we could hear everything they were saying.
The guy had a blonde onion head that didn’t feel very mature, and we heard the girl complain to him, “Ugh~ I can’t even sit on the wet floor.” The boy sounded a bit impatient and said, “Then it’s good that you won’t stand.” The girl said, “But I just walked for a long time and my feet are sore.” The guy said, “If you want to sit, you can’t figure it out yourself! I’m not a lackey!”
I couldn’t stand to watch, so I kindly said to the girl in front of me, “Miss, you can go to the service station over there to get a big plastic bag.” The girl said thank you to me, and then turned back to the guy and said, “Look, everyone else is more considerate than you, that’s like you!” The guy said angrily, “Then you won’t follow him! I didn’t ask you to follow me!” The girl huffed and asked for a plastic bag to sit on, and the guy had the cheek to sit on it, and the girl angrily told him to “get lost!” The girl angrily told him to “fuck off!” to sit down and go get it herself! Jiaxi and I saw this scene, couldn’t help but snicker out!
Jiaxie secretly nibbled on my ear and said, “Yichen, look at that boy in front of us, he’s so bad!” I said, “Well, didn’t I tell you that everyone has to be responsible for their own choices and bear the consequences?” I said, “Now you realize how lucky you were before, right?” She glanced at me and smiled at me, but didn’t say anything more, and lowered her head again to eat quietly, I began to regret a little bit from just now it seems that I shouldn’t have impulsively said that, it seems as if I intentionally or unintentionally went to hurt her heart.
“Lin Yichen, you’re not enough of a friend!” These words suddenly appeared from afar, causing me to jump! It turned out that I had met some acquaintances! Xiao Chen, Xiao Hui, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Qi, as well as Xiao Wu and his girlfriend, they gradually came over from a short distance away. Xiao Wu said, “Good boy, we asked you to come to see the sky lanterns, but you said you didn’t want to come! You said you didn’t want to come, and then you sneaked off by yourself to see it.” I was about to open my mouth to explain, when Xiao Chen saw a girl next to me and said, “Oh, I don’t care if you came by yourself, but you even brought a young girl with long hair!” Xiao Chen then said, “Yat Chen, that’s right! I told you a long time ago, there’s no grass at the end of the world, so why fall in love with a single flower.” No wonder Xiaohui and I have been helping you to introduce other girls, but you always say you don’t have any feeling, so it’s just that you’re “thinking of eating three bowls of food”, and you’ve already got someone you know.
I started to feel bad, they didn’t seem to recognize that the girl next to me was JiaXi, probably because it was dark and JiaXi had long hair, no wonder they didn’t recognize her right away! I used my index finger to secretly point in Cassie’s direction and said to them, “Shhhh! Shhh!” signaling for them to stop talking.
Xiao Zheng said loudly, “Hush what hush! What’s there to be afraid of! What’s so embarrassing about this kind of thing!” Xiao Zheng asked me, “Yichen hasn’t introduced himself, where did you meet?”
I know with my knees that Cassie, who had just been paying attention to our conversation with her sideways face and long hair hanging down, had listened to all of it word for word. Cassie first wiped her mouth with toilet paper, slowly raised her head, and took the initiative to greet everyone, “Hi! Hello everyone! Long time no see!” Xiao Wu, Xiao Chen and Xiao Zheng were still a bit unrecognizable, and said privately with a suspicious face, “Who is this? Why does he look familiar?” “Yeah! It seems like we’ve met there before!”
Xiao Hui and Xiao Qi were the first to recognize her and excitedly called out her name, “You’re Yin Jiaxi!” The other men blushed profusely, “Jiaxie, it’s you! Good…good…long time no see!” Xiao Zheng whispered, “Ah! Oh no! Damn it!” Xiaohui and Xiaoqi then happily pulled Jiaxie, screaming and jumping, “When did you come back, why didn’t you look for us?” Jiaxi also said happily, “I just got off the plane today, and I wanted to say that I’d find you guys for dinner and a chat after I’d settled in.” Xiaoqi said jokingly, “Oh, you’re such a cruel woman, when you first joined the company, I was the one who brought you in, but you didn’t even contact me after you left, you really deserve a spanking!” Jiaxie begged for mercy, “Xiaoqi, I didn’t mean it!” Then I heard them walk away and say to Jiaxie, “Let’s go to the side and talk, don’t pay attention to these stinky men.” Xiao Wu and the others surrounded me, curiously asking a bunch of questions, “How did you meet her? ………”
After a while, Wu and his group said they want to go to other places to hang out and left, and only two people left me and Jiaxi waiting to see the program, but I have been concerned about, just now Xiao Chen, Xiao Zheng, they do not care about what they said, I do not know what she heard in the heart is how to feel?
Gradually the stage lights up, the organizers also invited some popular stars and groups to sing and perform, interspersed with ten waves of large-scale release of sky lanterns, each wave has a theme, such as praying for love, education, fortune, peace ………. In the afternoon at the scene to participate in the registration of the public, you can now enter the General Assembly ready to cast the lanterns, each wave of at least one hundred lanterns at the same time, and sometimes even a large-scale two hundred at the same time, the most special is to cast a one-storey-high super-large lanterns, (although it looks very much like a large condom was blown up to the sky …) each wave of lanterns are different colors have Each wave of lanterns has a different color: white, orange, blue, red, pink, yellow …… Some of the lanterns are even decorated with firecrackers or fairy wands, which are set off by firecrackers while soaring into the night sky, and some of the lanterns are even decorated with firecrackers.
Each beautiful picture caused the scene of limelight, cheers in all directions! Everyone on the scene was immersed in happiness and moved! There were also couples who were moved to embrace each other, (except for the couple in front of us, who are still in a cold war!)
Unconsciously, next to me, Jiaxie excitedly pulled on my coat corner and said, “Yichen, look at all the sky lanterns, they’re so beautiful! It’s so touching!” This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of scene since I was a kid. It’s really spectacular and beautiful! Look! Look! When the lanterns floated up into the sky, they became like stars, as if the sky was full of stars!
Looking at a pair of pairs in front of me, happy couples and couples, so I can not help but sneak a peek at the side of the Jiaxi, she looked up with a face of satisfaction and happiness slowly ascending to the sky lanterns, looking, looking, even let me lose my mind … I secretly thought in my heart, if we did not accidentally break up two years ago, then now we should be like all the couples in front of us, sweetly Embracing! Together, we shared the rare romance and touching moments in our lives!
At the scene, in addition to the atmosphere of romantic sky lanterns casting, there are singers to match the atmosphere of the scene, taking turns to sing moving, popular love songs, and when she encountered a song that she could sing, she would also gently sing along. She seemed to realize that I had been watching her gaze, she turned her head and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” I hurried back to my senses, avoided her gaze, pretended to point to the sky and said, “Nothing! The sky lanterns are beautiful, beautiful….”
She said, “Oh~ then you should be looking up in the sky, I don’t have a sky lantern hanging from my face!” She suddenly added, “You! Tell me what you were looking at.” I looked like a child who had been caught in the act, so I caught my hair and laughed, saying, “No, I just thought you sang beautifully, and you look especially pretty tonight.” When she heard this, she laughed happily and said, “Come on, do you use this trick to cheat the girls in the company lately?” I hurriedly defended, “I’m not cheating on the girls!” She let out a silver bell-like laugh and said, “Heh…heh! Look how nervous you are, I’m just joking with you!”
After a while, she was thoughtful and said to herself, “If I had known that the annual release of the sky lanterns would be such a beautiful sight, I should have come years ago!”
Curious, I asked her, “What were you mumbling about?” She ruffled her hair hastily, shook her head, hid a smile and said, “Oh! Nothing!” After that, we even playfully lit up the fairy wands we bought from a vendor on the road, and wrote on the ground, watching the sparks scatter, illuminating her beautiful face and the darkness of the night.
We had watched for almost two hours, and there were several more brilliant fireworks in the sky. It seemed that the program was coming to an end, and according to my experience, we should go back. I told her, “Well, we should go now, or else when the show breaks up, there will be a lot of people, and we will not be able to go out.” With disappointment written all over her face, she said, “It’s still playing! We have to go now…okay!” Afraid that she might get hurt by the crowds behind her, I used my body to protect her, but I could see that she was still in a state of dismay, looking up at the sky lanterns as she walked.
Walking along, after a while, when she inadvertently turned around, she realized that I seemed to have disappeared! She stopped and looked around, attempting to find my figure, then she seemed to have given up the search, hands carrying a small handbag just stood by the road, intending to wait for me to realize that she had disappeared, I will turn back to look for her, right! It was only later that she saw me standing at a table not far away, waving my hand at her.
She came over to me with a frown and a puzzled look on her face and asked, “Why did you run over here all by yourself without saying anything?” I smiled and said, “Look at this.” I then picked up the big sky lantern from behind me that I had just snuck off to buy, and her expression was a little angry and a little touched beyond words, “You’re still so good at coaxing girls!” But the excited gleam in her eyes secretly gave away the happiness that filled her heart!
I asked her, “Is that a compliment?” She jokingly said, “You! Aren’t you afraid that your old sky lantern fiasco will repeat itself again?” I also jokingly said, “What’s there to be afraid of! Anyway, it was broken up before it was even released this time!” I went on to say, “Other people are couples in love who release sky lanterns together for blessings.” Maybe today we’re the only pair in Taiwan, post-breakup couples releasing sky lanterns together She first gave me a blank look pretending to be angry, but then her eyes slowly became softer.
This is the first time since we broke up that I admitted in front of her that we had broken up. Although on the surface I said it was easy and relaxed, in fact, my heart was not feeling well at all! In order to quickly divert this sad and unpleasant atmosphere, I pretended to rush her and said, “Miss, hurry up and write! I had to work very hard to squeeze through a bunch of people to get it.”
We flattened the lanterns out on a table and discussed what we should write on them. There were a bunch of people behind us with sky lanterns, waiting in line to use the table to write on! She suggested, “Aren’t lotto fans in Taiwan nowadays? Let’s write about winning the lottery!” After a while, she seriously thought about it again and said, “No good! Not good! I saw a lot of people writing this wish today, and if we win, we’ll get very little money.” I smiled and tapped her forehead, “Yin Jiaxi, you’re going crazy!” She covered her head and screamed, “Aigoo, why did you hit my head? It hurts!” I laughed and said to her, “You really think you’re going to win if you write!” She thought about it for a moment before laughing out loud and saying, “That’s right! I seem to think too much! I’m glad I got it!” After discussing it for half a day, we ended up using a brush to write on the four sides of the lantern, “Winning the first prize in the lotto, wishing for everything, rising higher and higher, dreams come true.” Big red letters
She couldn’t wait and said with an excited face, “Yichen, then next, how to use it?” I taught her to unfold the lantern first, pass the kerosene-soaked gold paper through the wire at the bottom, and then unfold the gold paper piece by piece and fold it again, so that the fire will be stronger after burning. We found a couple who were also preparing to set off the lanterns to help us take pictures and light the fire underneath the lanterns.
Jiaxie and I excitedly pulled the two corners of the lanterns, first stepped on the bottom of the bamboo basket, so that the lanterns slowly filled with hot air, and finally released the hand, the lanterns flew up to the sky, in my cheers and hers, they also used the camera to help us capture the moment of the moment.
Cassie said happily to me, “This is the first time I’ve ever set off sky lanterns! It’s so much fun! It’s a novelty!” We watched as the lanterns flew until we could no longer see them in the sky. Along the way, many of the lanterns wobbled and fell from mid-air. She asked curiously, “Yichen, why did the lantern fall when there was still fire in it?” I said jokingly, “Because the wishes they wrote were too heavy for the lanterns to carry.” Wow! She thought I was lying to you! You still think it’s true? She then said, “Right! I was wondering how that could be possible.” I said, “They let go of it too soon before it was full of heat, or it’s not sticking well and has holes in it.”
Later, we also helped the cute little couple to light the fire and take photos. As we were leaving, the couple unknowingly wished us both “Be happy!” We both looked at each other awkwardly in unison and said, “Well…you guys too!”
Suddenly the crowd around us began to scream, fleeing in all directions, looked up, it turned out to be in mid-air there is a sky lantern oil pack, because adsorbed too much kerosene, after flying up to the sky and keep dripping fuel down, take a closer look at the top of the dripping oil, there is also a light blue fire, looking at the sky lanterns have been drifting in the direction of the direction of our head, Jiaxi scared also like the crowd jumped away, her reflex action is to scream, panicked and hugged me, hiding tightly into my arms.
A few seconds later, later after that sky lantern floated away, she awkwardly explained, “I’m sorry! It was because of that lantern that I accidentally….” After saying that, she pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened, but I noticed that her face flushed red, and she couldn’t help stepping on her sandals to speed up her pace, keeping walking half a step ahead of me, as if she didn’t want me to see the expression on her face, and I think she should be very chagrined right now, too, right?
Just now embracing her in my arms, sniffing the fragrance of her hair, holding her soft body, my mind didn’t know how many beautiful moments that I had had in my life with her flashed through my mind, like a fast-spinning black-and-white movie, looking at her such a gentle and ethereal beautiful back from the back, I realized that all the efforts that I had made in the past two years to forget about her had all been in vain.
Today and she has been very tacit understanding, to avoid touching will make both sides of the embarrassing zone, I did not expect, or by this pair of small lovers to blow a pool of spring water, coupled with such a hug just now, the original deliberately go to ignore the relationship between the two, but because of this sentence makes me and she cared again, for a pair of lovers who have already broken up, “be happy oh! ” For a couple of lovers who have already broken up, “Be happy!” seems to be a wish that can never be realized. After all, we’ve already broken up, and now we’re just “strangers” who know each other the best! In the air between me and her, there is a “ambiguous” atmosphere ………….
Walking to the train station, she first broke the silence and said, “Yichen, uh~ I…think I’ll just take the train back.” Knowing her personality and thoughts well, I knew that she still cared about what happened just now, and I tacitly didn’t say anything more as I nodded my head. I said, “Then at least let me get you safely on the train before I leave!” Standing on the train platform packed with tourists, such a scene and atmosphere gave me a feeling of time and space dislocation and mirage, I suddenly felt a sense of dizziness, the feeling that I could hardly stand on my feet, I rubbed my temples to try to make myself comfortable.
Cassie asked me with concern and said, “What’s wrong with you?” I looked at her and said, “The current scene gives me a sense of déjà vu, it’s like that day!” She didn’t give it much thought and asked me offhandedly, “It’s that day, huh?” She had just finished speaking, and before I could say anything, a look of realization appeared on her face, and I think she remembered!
She knew I was referring to the scene of the night we staged our breakup drama at the Danshui MRT station two years ago, she smiled faintly and lowered her head as if to avoid meeting my eyes, I couldn’t decipher what kind of significance that smile of hers just now represented? I couldn’t decipher the significance of her smile. Sorry? Regret? Or helplessness?
Next to us stood a middle-aged couple who seemed to be in love with each other, holding a cute little baby boy who was about two years old and waiting for the train. The baby boy kept staring at the big-headed dog’s lantern in Jiaxi’s hand, and then the baby boy began to wriggle restlessly, and his hands kept reaching out for the lantern, and it was obvious that he wanted the lantern very much because the baby boy was being held on his father’s shoulders. Because the baby boy was being held on his father’s shoulders, his parents didn’t know what the baby boy was doing behind his back.
Cassie deliberately pressed the switch to make the lantern make puppy woof, woof, woof sounds, teasing the little boy, and the result was that the little boy’s eyes widened, and it looked as if he wanted that lantern even more, so the two of us mischievously took advantage of the couple’s inattention to keep teasing the little boy with the lantern, but his chubby little hands were really too short, and he couldn’t reach out how he could, and then he seemed to understand that we were toying with him and Then he seemed to realize that we were playing with him and became angry and cried out. His parents realized that he wanted the lantern so much that he cried out, so they kept comforting the little boy: “Good boy! Don’t cry! “I’ll buy it for you when I get back!”
But the little boy still kept crying, so Kathy gave the little boy the little lantern in her hand, and his parents pushed him away, saying, “No, I’m sorry! Really, it’s embarrassing!” The baby boy got the lantern and smiled and played with it, forgetting that he had been crying a second before.
I helpfully said, “It’s okay! If he likes it, give it to him. He’s so cute.” His parents said proudly, “You don’t know! When he was born, he was so chubby and cute, he looked so much like Crayon Shin-chan that many nurses wanted to hold him!” His parents happily held him in my hands and said, “Hold him!” I held the baby boy, tickled his dimples and teased him, saying, “When he grows up, he will be a handsome man like me!” Next to me, Cassie spat at me and said, “Don’t flatter yourself! Grow up to be like you? That’s the end of his life!” Then I kept making faces and teasing that little baby boy, making him giggle…happily, and drooling a lot.
Cassie looked at me with a thoughtful, and slightly studied expression and said, “I thought you used to say you didn’t like kids?” I smiled and said, “Yeah! Because I don’t like kids when they cry.” I continued, “But people’s minds, they always change over time.” I asked her rhetorically, “Didn’t you used to think that hybrids were cute and pretty, why don’t you go have one?” She smacked me and said, “Idiot, that would require someone willing to have one with me!” I took the opportunity to ask, “So you mean no one wants to have a baby with you now?” She laughed and said, “You’re not mine! Why should I tell you!” Maybe Cassie was saying this unintentionally, but to my ears, it already gave me a hurt feeling. Yes! I am no longer her who, she indeed has no need to tell me this, all this is my own stupidity to think too much.
Looking at Jiaxie’s face, I handed the baby boy to her, and she happily kissed the baby boy’s tender face and teased him, saying how cute he was! Her husband looked at us and said, “I see that you both love children, so you should go and have one!” Her wife added, “Right! If you’re going to have a baby, have it sooner rather than later. Don’t wait until you’re too old to carry a baby, then you’ll be tired.” After hearing this, Jiaxi was so shy that her face turned red, while I almost choked on my own saliva! I thought that if I tell them now, JiaXi and I are the boyfriend and girlfriend who have broken up for two years, I think they might be so embarrassed that they would want to dig an underground tunnel to drill down the railroad!
After waiting for a long time, the train finally entered the station, because the tourists to get on the train is too much, pushing the east and west of the crowded people shouting: “Do not squeeze the back of the la! There are children and the elderly, do not squeeze it!” Jiaxi she simply can not get close to the door, let alone trying to squeeze into the carriage, in the end, she can only watch the train, loaded with tourists like sardines away.
Thinking that one class of tourists had been carried away, thinking that there would be fewer people and that the next train would be able to take them, she sighed as the tourists who wanted to take the train behind her still poured into the platform of the station from the meeting place, saying, “Wow! Why are there so many people here today?” I said, “Before I left, I heard on the TV news that 50,000 to 60,000 people are expected here tonight!” She was surprised and said, “Really? That many?” She looked back at the other end of the line to pick up the buses, which had already crossed the Jing’an Suspension Bridge and was about to reach the venue, and this long line of people was at least one or two kilometers long. In addition to the late night, the mountains are also covered with a white burst of fog, a look at the time is almost 10 o’clock in the middle of the night.
She bent down and rubbed her hands on her calves as she said, a little dejectedly, “Oh my God! How long do I have to wait in line to get on the train? My legs are so sore from standing.” I couldn’t stand it and said, “Even if you get on the train, you’ll have to change taxis when you get off. It’s so late, and you’re a single girl, I really don’t feel comfortable with you, so why don’t I give you a ride back?
It was probably a combination of circumstance and the fact that she was really tired after a long day she thought about it and politely asked, “Would that be too much trouble for you?” I said with slight displeasure, “Please! You think we’re internet friends who just met on the first day, don’t you?” In her defense, she said, “No, it’s not! I really didn’t mean that! I was afraid that it would be too much trouble for you!” I laughed and said, “Your personality hasn’t changed at all!” She used to have a hard time telling whether someone was serious or joking with her. She realized that I was deliberately teasing her.
I brought her the raincoat from the motorcycle’s luggage, and she straightened up and said, “No, it’s not raining now.” I teasingly said, “When we go down the mountain later, the cold wind will pour in through the bottom of your skirt, if you don’t cover up, your little sister will catch a cold.” She gave me a blank look to show her protest, but still gave me a smile for my carefulness and consideration, because she knows very well that the way I express my concern sometimes is “knife mouth, bean curd heart”. In the end, she listened to me and put her raincoat over her thighs to somewhat block the wind from pouring in.
Slowly riding home on the mountain road, from the rear-view mirror, saw her hands on the rear handlebar, remembered that in the past, every time I drove her, she is the whole person relieved to lean on my back close to the ear to chat and laugh with me, really emotional … … Now it is rusty into this way!
I jokingly said, “Now what? Did I have some kind of AIDS after the breakup? Or a skin disease?” So now you can’t even touch me? She was embarrassed and said, “Oh, I didn’t mean that!” Then she changed her hand to tug at my waist, and I caught her hand and put it directly on my shoulder and said, “It’s safer here, and more importantly, you won’t feel embarrassed!” She didn’t realize that I would see through her scruples, & say it so directly, she hid a small smile.
She suddenly said from the back seat, “Thank you for today!” I played dumb and asked, “Why?” She said cheerfully, “Because I had a great time today.” I said contentedly, “It’s not like it was really anything.” She said, “No, if I hadn’t happened to meet you, I’d probably be frozen to bacon in this unfamiliar place!” I replied back to her, “That would still be the prettiest bacon in all of Taiwan!” She laughed happily, and slapped my helmet with her hand from behind, saying, “Poor mouth!”
She said happily, “I haven’t had so much fun and been so comfortable in a long time as I am today.” Curious, I asked, “Have you not been out and about for the past two years while you were abroad?” She said, “Yes! But it’s not like those friends are very familiar, plus the language isn’t very common.” Often people say a joke, everyone finished laughing, I only understand the laugh out every time a beat later, like a retarded child. She said happily: “I think it’s more fun to be with you!” I said with some feeling in my heart: “After hearing you say so, I should be considered dead also die in peace, right?”
This kind of intimate conversation between couples, as if again let us in the time and space is still intimate couple, if possible, I wish all of this can go back to two years ago, before we have not broken up, forced to separate two places before ………. Instantly, for me time is like a standstill general back to think of the time, Jia Xi she proposed to break up, suddenly left my life, that period of time I have been shrouded in the abandonment, was hurt in the low-pressure for a long time can not be their own now although slowly come out, but doubt themselves in the end is not still have to love people’s courage and ability to do so?
For couples who have broken up, it may be easy to get back together, but to be treated as if nothing had happened before, the two people back to the old as close and trust, I think it will be an unlikely thing!
Breaking up is like a two-sided blade, more or less, will cause each other’s heart some never be able to erase the scars, right! Just like now I can quietly look at her like this, accompany her, for me is already a luxury thing.
I casually asked her, “So where are you staying for the two weeks you’re back?” She said, “I’m staying at the house where I used to live.” Then she seemed to think of something, and she exclaimed, “Ahh! Oh no!” I was startled and said, “What’s wrong? Did you forget something?” She said with a crying face, “No, after I got off the plane today, I forgot to do the water and electricity restoration procedures first, to get on the plane before my dad also specially a thousand words of advice, ten thousand instructions, God! It’s over.” She added, “I haven’t cleaned the house yet, and there’s no water or electricity, so it looks like I might have to find a hotel to stay in tonight!”
I said, “It’s late, and it’s the Lantern Festival, so if you haven’t booked a room, you might not be able to find it.” She said half-heartedly, “I don’t think so! Taipei City is so busy, please pay attention for me along the way.” I drove her in her home near the main road looking for, large rooms are full, or has been closed for rest along the way to help her ask about, only some of the old sign hanging red and green neon signs of the small hostels, there are still empty rooms, however, it does not look not too clean, is the feeling of entry and exit from a very complex part, she frowned, lowered her head, one hand against the chin, hesitant to live on?
I can see that now she is very difficult, hesitate to make a decision look, I can not bear to say: “how about this, you can think about it, to see if you want to live in my home first night.” She heard, surprised to look up at me I said, “At least my home, you are also more familiar with the habit, but also much cleaner, you consider it!” She looked at me again, knitting her eyebrows, lightly biting her lip seriously in consideration, struggling ……….
I asked her directly and provocatively, “Would you be afraid of me? Or don’t you trust me?” Because if I didn’t say that, depending on her personality, she might consider struggling on the side of the road until dawn she hastily denied it and said, “It’s not like that, I’m just wondering if this will bother you? Is it really convenient for you?” I said, “How would that be! As you know I live alone on the first floor and it’s usually pretty empty!” She was embarrassed and said, “I’d feel embarrassed! I’ll pay you all the same!” I felt bad and said, “If you still consider me a friend, don’t talk about money with me again.” I never give to my “friends” for money, okay? She hurriedly explained, “I’m sorry! That’s not what I meant! I’m just embarrassed to be bothering you.” I said, “Then get in the car and go!”
I was quite emotional in my heart, we used to be so close that even our bodies and souls were tightly connected as boyfriend and girlfriend, even if we broke up, is it really necessary to be so polite and outgoing? My house is not a hotel, she even lent me a night to stay still have to take money to me? As if our current relationship is not even a good friend, maybe you don’t care or have forgotten the feelings we had, but I have never forgotten how much you have given me and how good you are. Sighed deeply, although I know she heart is not this kind of meaning, but her heartless behavior, but has made me have a kind of very hurt, very hurt feeling …….
After entering the door, I told her, “Tonight you can just sleep in my room first, I’ll go sleep in the guest room.” When she heard that, she hurriedly said, “No, that’s really embarrassing, I’ll just go sleep in the guest room tonight.”
I said, “You’ll have trouble sleeping, have you forgotten that you recognize the bed?” She said in a huff, “That’s okay, I’m not so good at it anymore.” I waved my hand and said, “Grrr! Then it’s a deal, you’ll sleep in my room.” I then said, “I’ll go shower first then, make yourself at home, I don’t think I need to introduce you to the environment, do I?” She squeezed out a smile and said, “Uh-huh! No~ Then you go ahead and wash, I’ll just watch TV first.” After washing, I handed her a fresh towel before heading out the door, as I was in a mood where I needed to go out and calm down and settle down, and rode my bike out again, leaving her home alone.
Taking advantage of Yichen going out, I picked up the remote control and turned the TV station to watch, my eyes staring at the Ying screen, but my mind was not on the TV, I didn’t expect that right now, he would still remember that I would recognize the bed, a habit that I can’t change! Thinking about when we first got together, in order to accommodate my bad habits since childhood, he also took me to specially pick a bed I’m more accustomed to sleeping in, to replace the original one in his room, remembering this past memories, but also really a little bit of missing, that part of the sweet feeling of once being loved.
Pushed open the door of his room, turned on the wall light switch to look at, although many things furnishings are not the same as two years ago, but there is still a familiar smell in the air, remembered that had been here and he had: happy, sad, touched, tense, entangled …… fragments of many good memories, at the moment like seawater, constantly The mind of a ship with a big hole in its hull is flooded with memories, and it is almost impossible to breathe.
See the time is also a little late, or first come to go to the bath! I went to the bathroom and ran the water, and smelled my clothes and hair, they all smelled of kerosene, probably from the fuel oil that dripped from the lanterns when I was looking at them today, right? It seems that this set of clothes probably can’t be worn again tonight, if I accidentally stink up his bed, it would be embarrassing for Yichen!
Better borrow a set of loose loungewear from him to wear first! I don’t think he would object, right? I secretly opened the closet where he kept his clothes, and was greeted by a nostalgic smell, a smell that I used to love to use as a clothing scent, and I didn’t realize that he was still using it!
He is still like before, clothing organized in an orderly manner, cabinet by cabinet, looking for, inadvertently pulled open the bottom layer of the cabinet, let me feel surprised! Printed people’s eyes is, neatly placed in the simple clothes I used to stay here to change, for a moment, I can not help but feel a sense of satisfaction in my heart! But then I thought, maybe he didn’t have time and kept forgetting to take them and throw them away!
After stepping into the shower and washing off my exhaustion, I thought about what this trip back was all about. To see friends? Take a vacation? Search for old memories? Or is there something special in your heart? I looked at the pink mouthwash cup and toothbrush on the shelf, which used to be my special ones! I didn’t realize I hadn’t thrown them away! It seems to be a bit dirty after a long time of non-use, so let’s wash it and make do with it! After brushing my teeth, I took another pink and blue mouthwash cup on the shelf, filled it with water and put it there, picked up the toothpaste, squeezed a small amount of toothpaste on top of the toothbrush, and put it on the mouthwash cup horizontally.
Suddenly, my whole body was stumped! Then I laughed out softly and asked myself in my mind, “Yin Jiaxi, you silly woman, what are you doing now?”
That was before and when he was still together, if I finished the shower first, I would stop by to help him fill up the water, squeeze the toothpaste and put it there, in addition to reminding him to remember to brush his teeth before going to bed, but also a way for me to express my concern and love, reluctantly turned on the faucet to rinse off the toothpaste on the toothbrush and also poured the water away, thinking that perhaps now, it has been the right of another lucky girl, proprietary right!
Doubtful ~ why did he go out so late at night? And where did he go? Did he not want me to stay here at all? Is he just sympathizing with me because he used to be my friend? But I didn’t get the feeling that he hated me after a whole day? Or did he already have a new girlfriend and now he’s gone to her!
That’s how it should be! Otherwise, why would he be out so late at night? How does she look? Is she prettier than me? Is she better than me? I have a lot of questions in my mind.
Unable to resist my curiosity, I secretly opened the desktop computer in his room, and I guessed that maybe there would be pictures of him hanging out with her girlfriend on the computer as well! Look for the JEPG file strangely! I don’t think there’s any! Let’s see what’s in the e-mail, maybe there’s a love letter or something! I didn’t realize that Yichen, the pig, had set his e-mail account and password to automatically log in, so it would be no trouble at all for others to log in! Huh? There were only some letters forwarded to colleagues and a bunch of advertisement letters. I kept turning the mouse wheel until I saw a letter with the subject line “Dear Tatsu”, and then I stopped.
My index finger trembled slightly, but I didn’t have the courage to click down and open it. This…this isn’t the breakup letter I wrote to him two years ago, I didn’t expect him to stay in the mailbox and not delete it! It’s also really funny, obviously I wrote it myself in the beginning, and now I don’t have the courage to read it!
After a deep breath, pressed the mouse point down, quietly read the end, as if at that time the kind of parting emotions again on the heart ………. I don’t know how long, suddenly came from the front, as if someone is using the key to open the iron door sound, I hurriedly with the fastest speed to shut down the computer, wiped the corner of my eyes, as well as wipe off the desktop that I don’t know where that came from the water stains ………….
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Cassie wrapping her hair while walking out of the room, she was wearing the pink loose loungewear that she used to love to wear, and toweling her long hair that was still slightly wet, my heart couldn’t help but beat violently, and the scene in front of my eyes suddenly gave me a feeling of going back to the old days!
I remember she used to watch TV in the living room, waiting for me to buy snacks back, every time I opened the door, she immediately greeted up, I should say rushed up, said hard work, but both hands are anxious to bring the snacks over, open the first to steal two mouthfuls of the playful look.
Trying my hardest to calm my insides, I handed her the bag and said, “Bought you a late night snack.” Curious, she opened it, took a whiff and said, “Is that my old favorite place for chicken fried steak and fried calamari?” I nodded she said with a satisfied smile all over her face, “Thank you so much! What a nostalgic flavor, it smells so good!” I said to her as I put a couple cans of Bowtie bottles of drinks in the fridge, “There’s plum green tea and Coke in the fridge, help yourself if you’re thirsty in the middle of the night, don’t be polite.” She nodded and said, “Uh-huh!”
As I watched the TV news, I asked her, “You stayed abroad, how have you been doing these past two years?” She said as she nibbled on a chicken fillet, “I wasn’t used to it when I first went there, but I’m more used to it now.” In the morning, she works as my dad’s special assistant in his company, helping him to deal with some big and small matters. After work, she sometimes goes shopping with her colleagues in the company, or rents a bunch of DVDs to watch at home. On holidays, my dad would occasionally drive my mom and me to famous sightseeing spots, and she casually asked me, “What about you?”
I said, “Life hasn’t changed much, it’s still the same as going to work during the day and then coming home and touching the east and the west and going to sleep.” Occasionally, I ride my bike outside on holidays, or I go to a dinner party with Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu. She asked with concern: “Then you live like this will not be very boring?” I couldn’t hide my despondency and said, “It’s okay, just get used to it.” But in my heart, there is another sentence that I did not say, “It’s like the days without you, just get used to it.”
Suddenly I heard what looked like someone ringing the electric bell outside the door! That’s strange! It’s so late. Who could it be? I signaled for Cassie to go into the room first, and she probably knew what I was trying to do, so she went in first. I was thinking that if it was my dad or my mom, it would be awkward for Cassie to meet them face-to-face.
When I opened the door, it turned out to be my uncle’s daughter, my cousin Ru Ting. I said to Jiaxi, “It’s okay, you can come out now!” Ru Ting said through the metal door, “You’re hard to find! I’ve been calling you tonight, but no one answered at home.”
I opened the metal door while saying, “Oh~ I just happened to go to Pinky today, so I’m not at home.” She said, “That’s right! I’m here to remind you that you have to be at my house at 6:00 am that morning to get ready ooh.” Ru Ting was initially startled when she entered the door and saw Jia Xi, how could a woman suddenly appear in my house!
Later, she seemed to recognize it, and she shouted happily, “Ah! Sister-in-law, how is it you! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you! Where the hell have you been?” Because a while back, Ru Ting used to come to my house to learn how to cook from my mom, and Jia Xi was still my girlfriend at that time, the moment I met Jia Xi, who was of similar age to her, I felt a special sense of intimacy.
Ru Ting had just met her boyfriend at that time, and sometimes the two sisters would go shopping and shopping together at night, and as they became more and more familiar with each other, she began to call Jiaxi “sister-in-law”.
However, Ru Ting’s “Sister-in-law” made the atmosphere go down to the bottom, Cassie could not answer or not answer, and I was also stumped on the spot, not knowing whether I should make a sound or not. When Ru Ting saw how strange we both looked, she realized that she had spoken wrongly in a moment of carelessness, forgetting the fact that we had already broken up.
She hurriedly changed her name to, “Sister Cassie, what have you been up to lately?” Only then did Jiaxi open her mouth and said awkwardly, “Nothing! I’ve been abroad for a while, I just came back today, long time no see.” Ru Ting asked curiously, “Really? Sister Jiaxie, how long will you stay this time?” Jiaxie said, “About two weeks!” Ru Ting did some math and then happily took Jia Xi’s hand and said, “Then you must come to my engagement next Saturday!” Jiaxie said in surprise, “What? You…you’re getting engaged?”
Ru Ting said with a satisfied face, “Right! My husband was afraid that if I delayed too long, I would run off with someone else, so he rushed to book me ah.”
Cassie said with difficulty, “I’ll go? I don’t think so! I don’t even know anyone! And I don’t know how to go.”
Ru Ting tried to convince her, “Sister Jia Xi, I also really hope that you can come to my engagement, or at least come to give me your blessing!”
Ru Ting added, “And Brother Yat-sen, he was the host that day, so if you don’t know how to get there, he can drive you!”
Later on, it seemed that Jiaxie couldn’t find any more excuses, so she reluctantly agreed with Ru Ting and said, “Alright!” Ru Ting said, “Brother Yat Chen, Sister Jia Xi, I should go back too.” Otherwise, my husband will be worrying about me again, so remember to be on time that day!
I told Ru Ting, “It’s so late, let me walk you downstairs!” After arriving downstairs, she asked a bit skeptically, “You guys?” I shook my head and said, “It’s not what you think, she just came back and is staying here for the night.” Ru Ting comforted me and said, “It’s okay! I’ll introduce you to my unmarried classmates when I have the chance.” I said, “Alright, you should go home too! Be careful on your bike.”
After seeing Ru Ting off and returning upstairs, Cassie told me in disbelief, “Remember, she and her boyfriend had only known each other for a short while before, and I didn’t realize that they were already getting engaged now!”
I flirted with her and said, “Miss, two years have passed and it seems your memory is still stuck in the old days?”
Cassie muttered, “I didn’t think it would be so soon, unbeknownst to me it’s been two years and she’s getting engaged!”
Cassie saw the small fish tank that was set up in a corner of the living room and she leaned over excitedly she teased the gold doll and said, “Wow! Golddoll, it’s been a long time! You’ve grown so much!” After playing with it for a while, Cassie stretched and said, “I’m full, and I just got off the plane today, so I’m tired! I’m going to bed. Good night.”
A closed the door of the room, Jiaxi quietly leaned behind the door of the room, but the heart has mixed feelings did not expect Ru Ting, she actually are engaged!!!! And the first time I and Yat Chen, today is on the road to break up this road ……
I don’t know why I’m so excited to be back in a familiar place, but I can’t sleep, maybe I can’t sleep! It’s so boring! I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t know what to do. I saw the broom in the corner of the room, based on women’s instinct to love cleanliness, I couldn’t help but sweep the floor, sweeping and sweeping, turned over the bedspread, sweeping the empty space under the bed, as if to sweep something, lowered my head to see, under the bed seems to be placed in an opaque white plastic organizer, what is this thing? Driven by curiosity, I carefully dragged the box out.
I thought to myself, “It’s so heavy! The box must be filled with dozens of porno movies!” Hmm! As far as I know, what men usually hide in their rooms should be all about that? Lin Yichen, I didn’t expect to break up, huh! Hm! Hum …… Now I’ve caught you, right? I was excited like catching someone else’s pigtails, smug little man like, a open to really make me surprised! This…these are …….
My original excitement instantly disappeared without a trace, I stupidly looked at the things in the box, and obediently sat down on the floor in a soft spread, my hand covered my mouth, the corner of my mouth unconsciously raised a shallow smile, and then the indisputable tears fell down like this! Mouth softly cursed: “Fool, Lin Yichen, you big fool!” You’re thinking that the tears I’ve shed for you over the past two years aren’t enough, aren’t you?
Originally thought that I hurt him like this, after breaking up with him, he should be angry and throw away everything related to me, but the result is out of my expectation! Mouth scolded him, but the heart is full of touching, I did not expect that I am also a mouth is not a woman! Every single thing in the box represents every bit of the life he and I had lived together.
I closed my eyes, remembering how considerate and attentive he was to me in the past, and how he always had a way to make me feel touched and happy. Thinking about these two years of living abroad, there was no lack of other passionate suitors, and some of the men’s conditions were even better than Yichen’s. Even though I wanted to fall in love again in my heart, it was very strange. No matter how much they courted me, sending flowers, sending cards, inviting me to dinner, going out together, they just couldn’t give me that special feeling I used to have, that feeling of excitement and anticipation when falling in love.
That feeling of knowing what’s going on in my mind just by looking at me or listening to me? The feeling that both sides of my heart are in tune with each other, (although I admit that a large part of the reason is because I have some language communication problems with them…) Unconsciously, I got used to the way Yichen loves me, and the way he expresses his love.
Suddenly, without warning, a big cockroach crawled out from the bottom of the box with two long antennae constantly moving, and I was scared and screamed “Ah!” I was so scared that I screamed “Ah!” Because the thing I was most afraid of since I was a child was cockroaches, especially the ones with wings that can fly. The big cockroach seemed to be scared by me, and raised its wings and flew in the room, and I screamed even louder as soon as it flew: “Ah~”
Yichen heard my screams and rushed in anxiously, asking straight out, “What’s wrong with you?” He saw me drop to the floor with a scared look on my face, and glanced at the big cockroach that was still flying around the room, not knowing what to do, and without saying a word, he copied the slippers at his feet, and jumped on the bed to chase after it, and after a few swings, he knocked the cockroach out with a concussion, which he threw down the toilet and flushed out.
When he saw that I was still scared and sitting on the floor, he said, “Alright! It’s over, you can get up now.” As a result, I honestly said, “Wait a minute, my legs are weak, I can’t stand up yet!” He laughed at me and said, “Look at you, the older you get, the less courage you have, and you are still scared by cockroaches to the point that your tears fall out!”
I sniffled and hurriedly wiped the teardrops off my face with my hand, laughing a little to try and cover it up in a hurry. I couldn’t, even if I was stupid enough, say in the moment that I was shedding tears because I was so moved by what was in the box just now, could I?
Not long after, when he saw the box on the ground opened by me, his smile slowly converged deeply know his personality of me, a glance can see that he changed his face, he was angry… I hurriedly first with him to surrender and said, “I… I was just sweeping the floor, I accidentally swept, I do not know what is that thing, just curiously opened it, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean it!”
I was so nervous that I closed one eye slightly and peeked at him with my hands clenched tightly, I figured that next thing I knew, he would be furious! I was ready for his scolding, after all, it was only natural that he would be angry that I had gone through his personal things and went to invade his privacy.
To my surprise, he didn’t get very angry, but instead sat on the floor with his legs crossed like me? He picked up a PUCCA doll from the box, patted the dust off the doll, and asked me in a gentle tone, “Do you remember this doll?” I reached over and picked it up and said, “Of course I remember, it was on our first date when you shot an air gun and gave it to me.”
He nodded, smiled in satisfaction, picked up another small ceramic teabag and quizzed me, “What about this one?”
I thought about it and said, “That was also the time we played trap and we didn’t hit any of them and the owner was kind enough to give them to us.”
He said, “I can’t tell! I didn’t realize you had a good memory.” I said proudly, “Of course! I’ve been a special assistant for two years, and I didn’t do it for nothing.”
Instead, I picked up a cute caricature sketch of the two of us and asked him, “What about this one?” He said, “That was done on a whim once when we went to Freshwater and you dragged me to a street artist who specializes in drawing pictures for tourists.”
You remember the two of us sitting at the head of the ferry coming and going for quite a while, and I remember it was still hot that day! A whole bunch of tourists had gathered around to watch, and, as a result, you kept making fun of me for being as nervous as a block of wood, with a hard expression on my face.
Later, after the drawing, I looked like a big gonzo ball stuck on chopsticks, with a big head and a small body, while you were beautiful and playful and cute. At that time, didn’t I say to you, “It must be that the person who drew us was biased and jealous that I had a pretty girlfriend, so he drew me like a freshwater fish ball bird.” Do you still remember at that time, when you heard me say that, you laughed like you didn’t know how happy you were? I couldn’t help but laugh at that moment, while nodding my head and saying, “Right! That’s right! The expression on your face at that time was really funny!”
Turning over, the box also has a pair of ceramic cups that we ordered when we went to the Yingge Ceramics Exhibition, one engraved with “Yichen’s husband”, the other engraved with “Jiaxie’s wife” three-dimensional characters of the ceramic cups, at that time we were in love, but also brought to the company to use, but also by the colleagues to laugh for a while. When we were in love and brought it to the office, we were laughed at by our coworkers for a while.
There are also the ticket stubs from our first boat ride, “Danshui Ferry Head – Fisherman’s Wharf”, and the ticket stubs from every movie we watched. ……… I didn’t realize that these ticket stubs had already started to yellow, and I marveled at how fast time flies!
I picked up an unassuming, glittering stick that would never shine again after use and asked Yat-sen, “So do you remember when this was?”
He thought about it and later said, “No. Well, do you remember when that was?”
Although I felt disappointed in my heart, I still pretended to be fine and said, “Wow! I don’t remember either, that’s why I wanted to ask you to check.”
But in the back of his mind, he had forgotten such an important day that we had had, between us.
He and I just sat on the floor and counted down one by one memories we had shared, “Look, look, you were much darker then than you are now! Hair was still lame as hell back then!” “Come on! You also do not look at you, love to eat fat into what appearance, almost have a double chin” “That has …… clearly on …… you talk nonsense! I have fat? …… I that have nonsense?” It’s like old friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time, taking photos taken in the past to catch up and tripping over each other.
I picked up the sunflower-shaped photo folder we bought when we went to Taoyuan, Guanyin Township to play in the Lotus Season, and on it was a photo of the two of us, gently blowing away a thin layer of dust on the photo, it was a photo of us standing in a field of lavender flowers, a somewhat funny and sweet photo, the memories are still so fresh and vivid, as if you can still smell the faint scent of sunflowers and green grass, and I can see that the sunflower in the photo was a very beautiful, innocent and lovely image. Looking at the photo of Jiaxie, then pure and lovely appearance, a face of contentment snuggled in my arms does not stop me from recalling an ancient poem: “Last year today this door, the face of the peach blossoms reflecting the red, I do not know where to go, the peach blossoms are still laughing at the spring breeze.” Even if there is no more her in the years to come, I think every year the lotus season in the peach garden will still bloom as luxuriantly and beautifully as in previous years!
Until the clock in the living room insensitively tapped twice, only to realize that we chatted and chatted and forgot about the time, it turns out, without realizing it has already chatted until two o’clock in the middle of the night, it’s so late. After I hurriedly helped him put things away, I said, “It’s also late, I just got off the plane today, and I’m also tired for the whole day, it’s time to rest, don’t you have to go to work tomorrow Monday as well?”
He nodded and said, “Uh-huh! I should go to bed early too.” He walked out and even took the door to my room for me in passing, then, suddenly, as if he thought of something, he turned back and opened the door again and said to me, “By the way~ That Perspex stick was a souvenir we bought at Fisherman’s Wharf when we spent Valentine’s Day together for the first time after we got together.”
When he finished, he smiled a little and left again with the door closed. At this point, I just laughed out! In my heart, I thought to myself, “So he obviously remembered, and deliberately did not say that he wanted to test me, he is really a big bad guy!”
Leaning back on the pillow, sideways and lightly embracing the soft cotton blanket, he was right! That was indeed the first Valentine’s Day in Danshui Fisherman’s Wharf after we got to know each other, a souvenir of our first Valentine’s Day, and to think that at that time, we also walked across the White Valentine’s Bridge holding hands together in the middle of the bridge like a pair of small, innocent couples, vowing that we would hold each other’s hands for the rest of our lives, and now, when I think of the picture at that time, I even want to laugh at the stupidity of what we did at that time.
Unfortunately, because of the reality of the environment, and their own impulsive decision, but let the two then hand in hand to make a wish, can no longer be realized. Now all the regrets can only be put deeply in the bottom of the heart. In my heart, I am quite surprised, I did not expect these small details of our relationship, but now he has not forgotten!
Tell yourself, don’t think about it, or else you’re bound to have insomnia tonight, sneak into the quilt and take a deep breath, there is a shower gel and mixed with the unique fragrance emitted from his body embracing the quilt he once slept on, as if he was embracing himself, a face of contentment to go to sleep ………
Woke up in the morning and wow! The sun is already so big! Looked at the clock on the wall, it turned out to be ten o’clock in the morning, I should also get up! Remember that today should be Monday, he should have gone to work early not at home, stretched a big lazy waist opened the door, caught the hair, the mouth is also a big yawn, ~ heh! Suddenly the movement stopped! No…no way! How come he’s still sitting on the hall table leisurely reading the newspaper and eating breakfast, he smiled and greeted me, “Good morning! I rushed in and closed the door to my room, oh my god! How could I let him see me with my hair on my head, in my pajamas, slippers, and sleepy, yawning eyes?
A quick wash, a random piece of clothing in the closet that was previously clean and still OK, a little more organization before leaving the room, smoothing his hair, a look at himself in the mirror, it should be OK, took a deep breath and opened the door to the room.
“Morning! How come you don’t have to work today?” I asked curiously, pretending as if nothing had happened, and he replied, “Accidentally overslept! Just called in for a vacation! Anyway, there’s still a lot of vacation time that I’ve accumulated before, so I can’t finish it.” I looked at the hot radish cake and corn omelette on the table, it smelled so good! I used to love them!
He opened his mouth and asked, “By the way, aren’t you cleaning the house today? I’m not doing anything anyway, so why don’t I go help you.” I nodded my head as I ate my breakfast and thought to myself, “That’s fine! Otherwise, I’m a girl, I really don’t know how late I’ll have to clean it. After breakfast, he drove me to the nearby water and electricity companies to get the water and electricity restored.
I ran into a grocery store woman downstairs who I hadn’t seen for a long time, and who had seen me since I was a little girl. The woman curiously walked out, “Doubtful ~ you’re not that little kid from Jiaxie?” I said happily, “Yes! Granny, it’s been a long time! How’s your health?” Granny also said happily, “Same as ever. You’re coming back to live here? You’ve gotten prettier!” I blushed and said, “Not yet! I’m going to the United States again next week.” Grandma said, “Why don’t you come back for a while? It’s hard to get used to living in America. It’s better to stay at home.”
Granny said to me, “The most important thing for a girl is to find a man to marry and raise her children at home, it’s not good to run around like this.” I was afraid that Granny would go further and further, so I hurriedly stopped her from saying any more, “Granny, I have to go up first, I’ll come down to talk to you when I have time.” Granny said, “Good! Good! Good! If you have something to do, then hurry up and go, we’ll talk again some other time.” Watching the granny slowly walk back into the grocery store again.
Only then did I exhale deeply, turning my head with the intention of taking out the key to the front door, but my eyes met Yichen’s expression that he wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, as if he was doing it on purpose, learning from what Granny had just said, “Did you hear, the most important thing for a girl is to quickly find a man to marry and raise a child at home, it’s not good to run around like this.”
I spat out my tongue and made a face and said, “Whatever!” But he still kept laughing! I was mocked by him to the point of a little moved to anger said, “still laughing, careful you laugh to the fork in the air, from the third floor to the first floor fell into a concussion, in the future you will be laughing while drooling.”
As a result, the man behind her looked like he was doing it on purpose, and laughed louder and louder, saying, “Ha…ha! Are you angry? You look so cute!” I cursed in my heart, “Cute? You’re so fucking cute! You’re really pissing me off!” I was so angry, but I didn’t realize that the invisible ice wall I had deliberately built between us was gradually being dissolved by him! He was just like always, always easy to pluck the heartstrings of my heart.
Although he was really over the top just now! But then he was very serious about helping with the cleaning, and even brought brooms, mops, rags, and cleaners from his house. Whenever he encountered heavy work, he grabbed it, such as moving furniture and cabinets, and so on, and it felt as if he couldn’t bear to let me do it!
When I wanted to help, he would say, “In case you get hurt, it’s not nice for a girl to have a scar, I’ll do it.” He would ask me to remove the curtains, sweep the floor, wipe the cupboards and so on, to do some easy work sometimes I can’t help but stop and peep at his serious work, sweaty look, as if this place as his home in the cleaning, I never thought it would make me a little touched! No wonder someone said, “Serious women are the most beautiful, serious men are the most handsome.”
He and I were so busy for most of the day that we didn’t even have time to eat lunch, and it was close to five o’clock in the evening before we got the house cleaned up to a decent state, and everything that needed to be taken down for washing was pretty much done, and then we just waited for there to be some water, and then it was almost time to wash what needed to be washed. I was embarrassed and said, “Thank you so much for today, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, or I’ll feel bad.”
I didn’t expect him to say very quickly, “Sure! I’ve been working all day and I’m really hungry.” I asked him, “What would you like to eat?” He said, “I know a nice garden-style restaurant, let’s go there to eat.” However, the two of us were all dirty and looked like beggars, so we’d better go back to my house to take a bath and change our clothes before we go!
It was an outdoor restaurant filled with all kinds of herbs and flowers. The waiter led us down a long flowery path, and he picked out an outdoor table with an elaborate candelabra with three scented candles, filling the air with a faint aroma.
When the lettuce salad was brought up, I asked him, “Nice atmosphere and setting over here, how did you know about this place?”
He thought for a moment and said, “The last time I came here to eat with a new female colleague from the company, it was Xiao Chen who suggested I come here.”
I thought to myself, “He’s as honest as ever! Sometimes I think he’s so honest that it makes you think he’s a little stupid!” But to me, it’s better for a man to be honest than to cheat!
I pretended not to care and pressed him with the mindset of a friend, “What about the results?” He said jokingly, “Results? It didn’t even blossom, so how could there be a result! It’s just a dinner,” I said, pretending to feel sorry for him, “That’s really a pity!” I looked away, pretending to look at the flowers and plants next to me, I don’t know why? I don’t know why, but at this moment, I felt a little bit of happiness and joy in my heart!
He thoughtfully ordered a pot of verbena and lemongrass flower tea, lavender handmade cookies, and cheese cupcakes, and I was a bit surprised when I asked, “Yichen, you’ve changed a lot!” As he poured the flower tea for me, he smiled and asked, “Have you? There?” I said, “Yes! In the past, you used to take your work very seriously, like a workaholic, but now you seem to emphasize more on your life style.” After saying that, I took a sip of flower tea, smelling the faint lavender fragrance, enjoying the leisurely atmosphere of this moment.
He said, “In the past, I always felt that work is not only to maintain life, but also to realize the ideal of the future, and I always hoped that I could have my own little nest, and set up a small family with my beloved, so I worked very hard to pursue the performance at work, but now, looking back, I got a lot of things, but I lost the “best part of life” in comparison. “The best part of life!”
When he was talking, especially the last line about the gentle way he was gazing at me, it gave me a slight shock, as if he was deliberately saying it to me. I didn’t know what to do at that moment. So I hurriedly lowered my head and pretended to take a sip of tea, flustered to escape from his deep and passionate eyes. The best thing in life? He will be referring to …… me? I don’t think so, right?
He asked me, “Cassie, afterward, did you have a good time?” I put down the cup in my hand and thought about what to say, “Well~ it was bad at first, but I got used to it after a while.” I feigned indifference and smiled bitterly, “And some things are in the past and can never be repeated again.” Knowing how to cherish, often in the loss after knowing that they made a mistake, but often after making a mistake is my own choice, I have to bear the consequences, whether the result is good or bad, is not it? After saying that, without waiting for him to speak, I used the excuse to go to the restroom to escape, and in the meantime, to organize my own disordered thoughts.
When we got back, I lied and said I should go back and call my mom to tell her we were okay and we should go. He said, “OK!” and took the bill and headed towards the counter. I hurriedly told him, “Didn’t we agree that it was my treat?” He deliberately said, “Yeah! It’s on me for you!” He said, “It’s a rare occasion that you’re back, or I’ll treat you next time and pay for you!” When he said that, it made me not even know what to say next….
Although I went to do the water and power restoration this morning, the water company staff also said that after the water and power restoration, the earliest it will probably not come until tomorrow afternoon, right? So it looks like we’ll have to stay at Yichen’s house for one more night tonight! He went back to the guest room early to rest. He helped me clean all day today, so I think he’s probably tired too! Besides, he has to work tomorrow. I watched TV programs until late at night, and only went back to bed when I felt like sleeping.
After waking up in the morning, he seemed to have gone out to work, the coffee table also left a special note to me and a set of keys, which reads, “The key with the largest branch is for the downstairs gate, the cross-shaped one next to it is for the iron door of the house, in case you still can’t open it, please call my cell phone first, this door I grew up with, I’ll definitely open it faster than the locksmiths you’ve been looking for! “
I’m worried about Yat-sen.
After reading it, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Idiot! I’m not three years old anymore”
In the company, a full day of busy work down, but undeniably, my mind is always around in her body revolving, heard the bell after work, the rare first time I clocked out of work, will run faster than in the first floor of the work of Wu? I was quite surprised at myself, I never wanted to get home that fast!
After opening the door, found that the key and the note is still lying quietly in the living room on the coffee table, in front of me to meet, only a room of quiet and darkness, it seems that she has probably gone home on their own, right? The heart can not hide over some slight sense of loss …….
I wonder why there seems to be some noise coming from the kitchen in the back, and a strange smell is floating around. I don’t think it’s a burglary or a fire, right? I hurriedly went to the kitchen, but there was a light in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Jiaxi is still there, has not left! She was wearing a ponytail, with her back to me, wearing a bib for cooking, as if she was busy cooking something.
When she turned around and saw me, she said with a smile on her face, “You’re off work?” After making sure that the house wasn’t really on fire, I was like Columbus discovering a new continent! Looking at the scene in front of me! I said in shock, “No way! You…you’re cooking?” I said in disbelief, “I thought you used to only cook boiled eggs with noodles and boiled noodles with eggs?”
When she heard that, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then after giving me a petulant blank look, she pushed me out of the kitchen and said, “The kitchen’s greasy, so go change out of your work clothes and I’ll call you when it’s ready!”
Originally, I wanted to leave work early and take her out for dinner, but I didn’t realize that she had cooked for herself? After I changed my clothes, I asked her, “I remember that there should be no food in the refrigerator? Did you go there to give birth to it?”
She said, “I was bored at lunch so I went to the department store, the big box store, and the store had a fresh food supermarket so I stopped by.” She took off her apron and hung it on the wall, taking off her hair clips as she did so, undoing the ponytail in the back, shaking her head and letting her long hair down, pulling out her chair and taking a seat at the table as well.
I looked at the table, this plate in front of me, and I asked her, “Dare I say this plate?” She proudly said, “It’s spaghetti with clams in white wine.” I pointed to another plate and asked, “And this is?” She said, “Rosemary fried salmon filet,” and I asked, “And what’s this?” “Seafood cream soup. If you can’t get enough, there’s more in the pot!” Still skeptical, I asked, “Are you sure these aren’t boiled eggs with noodles?”
She knew that I was deliberately making fun of the old her again, and she laughed out, “I’m going to eat, Ignore you!” After I carefully tasted it, I couldn’t help but ask her, “No way! Did you really make this? Or did you order takeout?” She looked at me, smiled with smugness in her eyes, and continued to eat her noodles, while I shook my head in disbelief as I ate the delicacy cooked by her own hands, and she asked me, “How is it? Does it taste okay?” I said, “God damn it! How can it taste so good? This must be an illusion.” When she saw my exaggerated expression and heard what I said, she finally couldn’t help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing.
She said, “In the past two years abroad, my mom often asked me to accompany her to the nearby supermarket to buy food, and sometimes I would help beside her cooking, and I learned to cook a lot of food.”
As she ate, she asked me curiously, “Let me ask you! How do you feel when a woman cooks for you?” I said, “As long as I don’t eat boiled eggs with instant noodles or boiled instant noodles with eggs, I feel very happy.”
Although the mouth is so said, but in the heart is very surprised these two years, she is not small change! I remember that she used to be the only daughter of her family, the jewel of the family, so to speak! Since she was a child, she hardly ever went into the kitchen to make things by herself, and her mom helped her with everything at home. As far as I know, the only thing she can is to boil the water, and then the noodles and eggs thrown down only, and I am dating, I am responsible for taking care of all her life, really did not think, when she went to learn to cook cooking?
She pretended to be angry and said, “That’s because you let me borrow your room for two days and you wouldn’t charge me, so I thought to say I’d cook a meal myself.”
I said to her, “Mary, that’s not going to work! If you stay with us for a night, you’ll have to help out for at least six months before you’ll be able to pay us back!”
By my math, you stayed two days, so that’s a year’s worth of cooking for the maid before you can go back to the Philippines! She laughed out loud and said, “Idiot! I’m not a Filipino maid.” I said sincerely, “The taste is as good as the restaurant’s, you’ve really improved your skills!” She laughed and said, “Eat up! Otherwise the noodles will get cold and it won’t be good anymore.” Later, she didn’t know what was going on in her mind, and she didn’t move a muscle, lost in thought for a while!
And Jia Xi at this moment, her right hand unconsciously caressing her left index finger, a white scar so faint that it could hardly be seen, cut by a knife, was thinking in her heart, “Stupid Yichen, of course you won’t know how much pain I’ve suffered in these two years in order for me to learn to be a writer and cook!”
Just now for a moment, I heard Yat-sen’s praise, “The flavor is not inferior to the restaurant-made ones, your craftsmanship has really improved a lot!” I suddenly felt so much like crying, as if all this effort was worth it!
I whispered, “Cassie! Cassie! What’s wrong with you?” Only then did she startle and come back to her senses, blinking her eyes and smiling at me and shaking her head again as she quietly ate her meal! Weird? What’s wrong with her? Why does it feel weird!
After the meal was finished in a pleasant atmosphere she said, “I think the plumbing and electricity should all be here, and it’s time for me to go back and organize the house.” I said, “I’ll give you a ride back then.” She nodded without refusing, “Uh-huh.”
She asked me as if she remembered something, “Right, Yichen, where is Ruiting’s engagement treat next Saturday night?” I asked, “Do you want me to drive you there?” She said, “No need, don’t you have to help out in the morning? Just give me the address and I’ll take a cab there tonight.” I said, “Okay!” Then I copied her an address of the restaurant and sent her back first.
When I arrived at his cousin’s engagement venue on Saturday night, there was a steady stream of guests, but I didn’t recognize any of them, and I began to regret a little bit that I had promised to come to this engagement, so I had to look for the only figure I was familiar with with my senses.
He was wearing a handsome white tuxedo today, just like the groomsmen, and was busily making his way around the corners of the venue.
Until he caught me gazing at him, he smiled and walked over to me and said, “Hi! Cassie, you’re here! Why don’t you look for me first? I’ll take you in.”
I rushed back and said, “Wow! I’ve only just arrived, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone here I recognize.”
He said, “It’s okay! I’ve saved you a seat, so you’ll sit at the same table as me.” “Our table is full of young people who sit for some of the entertainers, groomsmen and bridesmaids.”
He jokingly said, “I’ve forewarned them, so don’t make a fuss if you see you gorging yourself.” He added, “They are all very nice people, so don’t worry to eat as much as you can without being polite, and we rarely stay in our seats.”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud and nudged him and said, “Look what you made me do, I’m not going to be polite to you guys!”
But the heart is a little touched, he turned out to have long been careful to help me envision the arrangement, unknowingly, the original a little nervous, overwhelmed by the emotions of his such a joke to the transfer, gradually, in front of the eyes of this had been very familiar to not be familiar with him, feel a little confused? Is this really the Yichen I used to know? Mature, talkative, yet courteous and charming, I almost lost my concentration when I looked at him! I thought I should know him well, but why have I never seen this side of him?
Finally, I waited for the table to open, and in the middle of the table, I was a little nervous from time to time, looking from side to side at the tables in the venue! He seemed to notice that something was wrong with me and asked me with concern, “What’s wrong?” I pretended to be fine and said, “Wow! No…nothing!” Later, as if he understood something, he said to me, “Don’t worry, my parents just joined a tour group to travel to the south for a week, they won’t be here today, so you don’t have to be afraid of meeting them.”
Suddenly having him see through what was on my mind with a single glance, I was really startled at the bottom of my heart! On the surface I still pretended to be calm and said, “I wasn’t thinking about that.” But after I said that, my cheeks still couldn’t help but redden and heat up.
I don’t know if he did it on purpose? He also laughed and chucked a fried prawns in my bowl, as if to make fun of my face, now like boiled shrimp as red, I stole a glance at him, his face with a smirk, turned his head to look for other people to talk about the day to talk and laugh, after a while, there are some late guests, he got up again to rush to greet them, looking at the back of his fluttering away, I really think it’s very strange! Could it be that what I am thinking is written on my face? Otherwise, why can he always easily know what is in my heart?
A moment later the bride and groom, came to the table, which entertained most of the older cousins and cousins such as Ru Ting, counting are familiar to the relatives can not be familiar. The groom and bride Ru Ting raised their glasses and said, “Everyone has worked hard today, thank you for your help!” The bride introduced the groom and everyone else to each other, and Ru Ting said, “This is today’s groom and my future husband.” She introduced the other one, “This handsome guy behind me is today’s best man and my husband’s good friend, but he’s already dead.”
Today’s beautiful bridesmaid is my good friend and classmate, Yizhen. I’ll let you in on a secret, she has great skin and a great body! What’s more, she doesn’t have a boyfriend yet! Yizhen shyly pushed Ruiting, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Rudra said, “Hey! I’m trying to help you sell, the youngest and most talented of our relatives are here, don’t be polite, take your pick.” The bride also introduced Jiaxie to everyone, saying, “Oh, this is Jiaxie! This is Sister Jiaxi, a good friend of mine and my cousin Yichen’s …….” As soon as Jiaxi and I heard this, we both tacitly grabbed Ru Ting and said in unison, “Friend!” Ru Ting said in disbelief, “Right! I was going to say friend! What else did you think I was going to say?”
We looked at each other awkwardly, not realizing that we all had the same thing in mind! Ru Ting quickly introduced the people at our table to each other briefly, and then rushed off to change her dress again!
When they accompanied the groom and bridegroom to make a toast at one table after another, seeing Yi Chen and the maid of honor, Yi Zhen, standing at the side, close to each other and laughing, I don’t know why a very unpleasant feeling rose up in my heart. Especially after they came back, Yi Chen even thoughtfully helped her to pull out the chair first, helped her to pull the hem of her skirt a little bit and talked to her enthusiastically, and from time to time paid attention to help her to fill up the drinks, but left me out in the cold. As if I wasn’t supposed to be here today (even though I feel that way!).
I also overheard Yizhen have talked about, to Yat-Chen holiday free, can also ask her to come out to drink an afternoon tea and so on, or go out together outdoor walk, she also quite like to walk around, the most exaggerated is that she took the initiative to ask for a cell phone with Yat-Chen, took the initiative to enter her own cell phone number!
This shameless woman, is really too hateful, see the handsome man on their own upside down, so angry that I can only have been desperately eating and drinking, is really angry me, have not seen such a woman without reserve!
It was hard to make it to the end of the wedding banquet, when the guests were almost gone, only some of Ru Ting’s good friends and relatives were left, and after they took pictures of the bride and groom, I don’t know who said that? After they took pictures with the bride and groom, I don’t know who said that the bridesmaids, Yizhen and Yichen, looked like a good match today! Everyone was clamoring for Yizhen and Yichen to take a picture together, trying to make up for their appearance.
When I saw the bridesmaid, Yizhen, who was dressed like a little princess in a white gauze gown, holding a bouquet in one hand, she smiled and hooked her hand to Yichen, who was also dressed in a white straight gown and glowing like Prince Charming.
Under the flashing limelight, the two of them looked and felt like a perfect match. I don’t know why, but my heart felt like it had been hit by a heavy object, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. But I still had to stand aside and put on a smile, as if all this had nothing to do with me. It turns out that I can still feel “heartache”!
After sending all the guests, originally will not drink Yat-Chen, tonight also seems to drink too much, began to not win the look of alcohol, walking can not walk straight look Finally, or Ru-Ting trouble one of the cousin drive me and Yat-Chen back, the results Yat-Chen in a car after the sleep paralyzed, called also can not wake up!
Luckily, with the help of his cousin, we were able to help the drunken Yichen up to the fifth floor. His cousin said, “Ms. Yin, it’s getting late, do you want me to drive you back first?” I asked, “What about him?” His cousin said, “He’s just drunk, he’s fine! If you leave him in bed, he’ll wake up tomorrow when the sun shines.” I laughed and said, “He sounds like a zombie. It’s okay, I’ll stay here and take care of him, I’ll go back later.”
His cousin kindly asked, “Well, do you know where I can get a cab over there?” I said, “I know, it’s right outside the alleyway on the main road.” His cousin said, “OK!” and left.
I was trying to take off his suit jacket and tie for him, who was already paralyzed with drunkenness. I couldn’t help but read and count all the crimes he committed today: Dead Yichen, he obviously hangs up after three drinks, he doesn’t have the capacity to drink and still dares to drink so much with other people! Toast to others to dry a cup, you do not think about it with others to dry, dry your big head of ghosts!
When you see a shameless pretty girl take the initiative to stick up to you, don’t you know how to hide? And you keep pouring her drinks. She’s a woman and I’m not a woman, right? She asked you to clip something for her to eat, you just clip, she is physically handicapped still want you to help her hands?
If a girl asks you to take a picture, you won’t refuse, right? Just take a picture, why do you have to hook your hand on purpose? How dare you smile like that? I was so angry that I took out his cell phone from his jacket, found the line of Yizhen in his address book, pressed the “Action” button, selected “Delete”, and then pressed the button again.
It took me a while to get over my jealous rage. What the hell am I doing right now? I pressed the “cancel” button, put down the cell phone in my hand, went to the window, opened the window and blew the wind, wanting to clear my head!
Who am I to care what friends of the opposite sex Yat-sen wants to make now? Didn’t we break up a long time ago? Then what am I jealous of now? After thinking for a while, I realized that the reason why I was so irrational today was because “I envied her! That used to be my man, that’s why I’m jealous of her!
I heard that he went to Ru Ting’s house early in the morning at five o’clock to help until now, it’s no wonder that he looks like he’s exhausted, sitting on the edge of the bed quietly looking at him, looking at this man who was once the man I had loved so much he was so tired today that even the scruff next to his cheeks came out a little bit, the lack of sleep I couldn’t help but feel pained and stole a kiss from him, then laughed softly out of my own satisfaction!
At that moment, he suddenly rolled over and turned on his side to face my side, causing me to jump in shock and coldly fall off the edge of the bed and onto the floor! I hurriedly covered my mouth to avoid making any noise to wake him up, and on the other hand, I held my breath and focused on the expression on his face. Luckily, his eyes were still shut tightly, and he looked like he was sleeping like a dead pig, so I breathed a huge sigh of relief!
Looking at him sleeping so sweetly and comfortably, I thought to myself, “I won’t have this chance after Wild H, so I’ll stay with him for a little while longer! I reminded myself in my heart, “Only for a little while! Later I must leave!”
I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly felt as if my body was being moved, and slowly opened my eyes to see that my body was being lifted into the air by Yichen with great effort, and he placed me on his bed and said, “Wow~ You’ve gotten so heavy! You’ll catch a cold if you sleep on the floor!” Only then did I realize that I had just been lying on the edge of the bed, lying on my back, lying on my back, but I accidentally fell asleep to see that he should not be in any serious trouble, I should also be leaving.
I asked him casually, “What time is it now?” He stood unsteadily and looked at his watch for a while. He stood unsteadily and looked at his watch for a while and said, “Let’s see…it’s almost half past two.” I was surprised and said, “How come it’s so late? Then I should go too!” He was walking out of the room holding the wall and asked me, “You’re going back?” I said, “Yeah, I’ll just go to the alley and get a cab.” He turned around and said, “It’s two o’clock at night. It’s too dangerous for you to take a taxi in the middle of the night. I won’t allow it!”
Once I heard him speak in such a manly and overbearing tone, coupled with the fact that he had done a lot of things to make me unhappy today, even if I had a good temper, my anger could not help but rise!
He didn’t even think about the fact that I had stayed this late to take care of him, and he wouldn’t even let me go back! I gambled, “Or you can drive me back now?”
He turned it upside down again and said, “No, my head is still spinning very dizzy.” He said, “You can sleep here tonight!” A little uneasily, I asked, “I’ll sleep here, so where…where are you going to sleep?” He said in a daze, “Don’t you worry, I’ll sleep in another room! I have a dozen other rooms.” I laughed inwardly and said, “You think you’re a mouse who wants to sleep in a shoebox, don’t you? What about the dozen or so rooms?”
Watching him go into the restroom askew, it took a while before he wandered back out. Like he thought of something, he poked his head into the room a moment later and said, “You’ve gotten so heavy, you must be 80-something kilograms?” I couldn’t quite pick you up if I tried to hug you just now, you need to lose weight! Do you know that? He even said drunkenly, “You need to lose weight, girls can’t get married if they are that heavy.”
After closing the door, I heard him from inside the room, bumping east and west on the walkway before he felt his way back to the guest room to sleep. It looked like he was really still drunk. I looked at myself, come on! I’m not even 50 kilos! I’m not even 50 kilograms! I’m so mad at him! So angry that I wanted to call him dirty names! However, Yichen’s drunken and silly look is really funny! It’s a pity there’s no V8 to record his drunken ugliness tonight, he’ll probably regret it in the morning!
Covered with the quilt that still has his gentle scent, the heart can not help but a burst of warmth flowing through the heart a recall, just now he said this sentence: “It is now two o’clock in the middle of the night, you alone in the middle of the night in a taxi is too dangerous, I do not allow it!” Now after calming down, but feel very warm heart! Because even though he was not very conscious, when he was in his subconscious state, he was still very concerned about my safety. At that moment, I couldn’t help but ask myself, “Yin Jiaxie, Yin Jiaxie, when you return to the United States in a few days, how are you going to live on in the future?” Obviously, I didn’t drink a single glass of wine tonight, so why is my head starting to hurt like Yichen’s? Ah! Couldn’t help but yell out in boredom, pulling the pillow out, the whole thing over my head, not to think about it!
The next morning, after sleeping, I went to the guest room to see, Yichen he still looks like sleeping like a dead pig, even the quilt has been kicked to the corner by him, kindly help him to put the quilt on again, I think it is better to go back to the room by myself, so that he can sleep well! I left a note to tell him, so that he wouldn’t wake up and worry, and then I went to the entrance of the alley to get a taxi to go back, thinking, I should also wash the clothes I want to bring back, and organize the luggage that can be organized first.
I wanted to say that before I go back, I always have to get together with Xiao Hui and Xiao Qi. In the afternoon, I asked Xiao Hui and Xiao Qi to go to a new department store with me, to buy some gifts that I want to bring back to honor my parents, and in the evening, I will have dinner at a nearby izakaya while catching up with old friends.
As soon as Kiki saw me, she jokingly split her head and said, “Damn heartless, you finally thought of us?” I laughed and said, “Yes! Yes!” As she ordered her food, Xiao Hui asked, “Right, Cassie, when are you going back?” I said, “Uh, Monday afternoon, 4:00 or so.” Hoshi said, “Then wouldn’t that be the day after tomorrow, so we’ll go to the airport to see you off?” I said, “Please! No need! Don’t you guys still have to work? Don’t you want your bonus for this month?”
I added, “I’ve been on several airplanes in the US, so don’t worry! I’m not a kid anymore!”
Kiki said, “Wow! Then tonight we must have a good drink and catch up without getting drunk! Cheers!” The three of us chatted and drank wine in the izakaya, and the conversation centered around the following topics: When are you going to come back? How was America? Do you have a boyfriend in America? I heard that there are a lot of handsome men in America, is it true? What do you usually do ………?
Hoshi opened her mouth and asked, “By the way, Cassie, there’s something I don’t know if I can ask you?” I asked, “What is it? You ask!” Xiao Hui said, “At that time, what was the real reason why you broke up with Yat Chen?” I said, “Just because I was going to emigrate to America.” Hui said skeptically, “Is it really just that?” I said, “Right? What else would be the reason?”
Kiki said, “At that time, some people in the company were rumoring that you left because Yat-Sen was not treating you well.” I laughed out and said, “Come on! That’s not true, where did that come from?” Kiki said, “I just don’t know who spread the gossip!” Xiao Hui sighed and said, “That’s a pity for Yat Chen, he’s taken the blame for two years!” Every time we kindly introduced Yichen to a new single female colleague, but those Sakura Miyoko’s (Idle Miyoshi!) who are so concerned about the world would go around chewing on him. But the company’s Sakura Miyoko (Idle no ambition!) will go around chewing on the root of the matter, but we can’t find you to find out, in the end, Yat-Chen one-sidedly said the reason for the breakup, is it true or not? To the later, every time to help him introduce the girl, all unsettled ……
Later on, there were even more exaggerated versions that Yat Chen appeared to be honest on the surface, but behind the scenes he was very philandering, could split his legs and loved to beat up women’s …… Xiaoqi said, “You ah you! You really hurt him by leaving without saying goodbye!” I was surprised and said, “I really didn’t know about this, how things ended up like this …….” Xiaohui said, “So he hasn’t gotten a girlfriend yet, and it’s also indirectly caused by you!” I asked, “So Yichen hasn’t gotten a girlfriend since two years ago?” Xiaoqi said, “Of course, we’ve been watching him commute to work every day for two years, don’t be mad if I tell you!”
I said, “Please! I’m not that calculating!” Kiki said, “Hui and I both think you really hurt him pretty bad that time!” I asked curiously, “How so?” Xiao Hui said, “You don’t even know, as soon as he knew you were out of the country that day, he immediately took leave and rushed to your house.” Afterward, he didn’t come to work for a whole week, causing us to worry half to death, and thought he didn’t work anymore.
After a while, we tried to find him to go out and play with us, but we could tell that he was not interested at all, he was nothing like he used to be. Xiaoqi said jokingly, “Jiaxie, you’re a real pest, he’s lucky to have met you!” Xiao Hui asked, “Well…Jia Xi, have you ever thought about coming back?” Jiaxie shook her head and said, “Oh…my parents are getting older, I can’t come back alone!”
Later, we drank almost, Xiaohui Call her husband – Xiao Chen drove to pick up the three women back so pleasantly and end of the day, I also indirectly learned about his two years in some things.
After sorting out his luggage, he stopped a taxi on the street, “Mr. Driver, please Taoyuan CKS International Airport.” Unexpectedly, time flies so fast, two weeks have passed like this, today is the time to leave, honestly, the heart is really a little bit reluctant to leave!
I went to the airline’s counter to collect my ticket, rowed my seat, checked my baggage and looked at my watch, there was still a short time before the plane took off, I stayed in my seat in the airport and waited for the boarding moment to arrive, I was bored to look up on the wall to see the electronic schedule for the departure of the flights.
“Yoon Kah Sai,” someone suddenly called my name and I was shocked! It was strange! No one should know me here, I turned my head and looked around, but I didn’t realize that “Yichen” was standing right behind me!
I was so surprised that I was almost a little speechless, “What are you…doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be working today?” I never revealed to him when I was actually leaving, so how did he know? The reason why I didn’t let him know was because I was worried that in case he was going to come to see me off, that kind of scene and atmosphere, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to help it, and I would cry on the spot until I couldn’t do a single thing!
He spoke in anger, “Yin Jiaxi, you ruthless woman, it’s fortunate that I caught up with you.” “Otherwise, are you going to sneak away from me without a word again like you did two years ago? Without even saying goodbye?”
I smiled awkwardly, not realizing that, after all, he had guessed what I was thinking I sheepishly tried to cover it up by saying, “Wow! I…I meant to say, I came alone anyway, so I’ll just leave alone.” Besides, you all have to go to work, so you don’t have to go through all that trouble to see me off. He said in a scolding tone, “What’s trouble? As long as it’s you, I never think it’s trouble.” He said excitedly, “It’s okay! This afternoon, I happened to go to the foreign department on the third floor and met Xiao Hui, and she mentioned inadvertently that you seem to be taking a flight to leave this afternoon, otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about it and wouldn’t have been able to come to see you off on the plane.
He seemed to be calming down a bit as he asked me, “Cassie, do you really have to go?” I reluctantly nodded and said, “Uh-huh! You know that.” After hearing me say that, he anxiously tried to say, “Jassy, then I…wait…” and I interrupted what he was about to say, shaking my head to signal him, not to say such unrealistic words.
Anxiously, he rephrased his question, “So… when will you come back next?” I said faintly, “I don’t know, maybe next year, the year after.” I said with more ulterior motives, “Maybe if you marry someone abroad, you’ll never come back again, maybe.” I reassured him, “Yichen, we are both adults, I think you should be able to understand the meaning of my words.” The man in front of me took a deep breath, I guess he was desperately trying to restrain his emotions!
I didn’t expect that I would be so cruel as to hint to Yichen to his face that he should die to me from now on! It’s a pleasure to hurt someone who loves you with your words, but when you thrust a knife into his heart, you’ll unexpectedly find that your own heart will bleed with it.
Coldly Yichen reached out, the next second his own body was embraced in his arms, he spoke excitedly in my ear, “If time can be rewound again to two years ago, the night you decided to break up.” “Say what you will I will never let go of my hand and let you go alone.”
He continued: Do you know? In these two years, when I wake up every morning, how I wish that when I open my eyes, I can see that you have returned to my side, quietly sleeping, just like before. As if all that we have experienced in the past two years was just a nightmare last night.
At this moment, hearing his heartfelt words to me, I was so surprised that my eyes opened wide and I was so moved that I froze for a while! I also forgot that I should break away from his embrace ……. At this moment, even if I no matter how stubborn, want to disguise my sadness, still can not restrain a burst of pain in the heart of the feeling, the eyes can not help but warm up.
After a few seconds of silence, I finally couldn’t help but speak up as well, “Fool, do you think you’re the only one who’s ever thought this way?”
After breaking up like this, do you really think that my heart will be any better than yours? For the past two years, I’ve tried to forget about what we had and make a good living abroad.
But it’s funny, every time I look up at a summer night and see the Milky Way and the stars in the sky in the cool dusk of fall and catch a glimpse of an entire grove of maple trees turning from yellow to red, and look out over the distant snowy landscape of the Rockies in the winter do you know what the first thought that comes to my mind is?
He gently stroked my hair and asked, “What is it?” The first thought that came to my mind was ‘Why are you, Yat Chen, not by my side right now?’ How I wish, at this moment, there is someone I love who can embrace me and quietly accompany me to share all this beauty in front of me. He said heartily, “I’m sorry! It’s all my fault.”
I calmly said, “Actually, this time when I came back, I really didn’t expect that I would meet you again.” However, now that I see that you are doing well, I really, really feel satisfied and happy in my heart! He said sadly, “Don’t say it, I understand everything!” I shook my head and said, “Yichen, let me finish, otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t have this chance in the future, I don’t want to leave here with a single regret.”
In this two years abroad, I always feel that I always owe you a “sorry!” I’m sorry for impulsively breaking up with you and hurting you I don’t dare to pray that you can forgive me in this life, but …… he stopped me from saying it, he said: “Enough! Enough! It’s over, I don’t blame you.”
I begged him, “Wait, please don’t say the word “goodbye” to me.” He asked in confusion, “Huh?” Because I don’t want to leave here crying like I did two years ago, okay? He gently nodded, and then tightly embraced me, fearing that the next second I will disappear as if he and I so quietly enjoy, this moment of heartbreaking romance …… as if time has stopped running, surrounded by people and things, are completely non-existent general.
That is until the airport’s occasional announcement reminding of boarding cruelly brought me back to reality again, “Well ~ it’s about time!” I gently pushed him away reluctantly and said, “I should go in!” This is the first time I’ve seen him with red eyes since I’ve known Yichen, and to be honest, seeing him sad and upset made my own heart ache with dismay!
I opened my mouth and said to him, “Promise me to live happily ever after.” He nodded wordlessly after about three seconds, I pretended to be playful and said, “And hurry up and get a girlfriend!” Even though he looked sad, he couldn’t help but smile after hearing me say that!
He started to choke up in his tone and said to me, “Then promise me we’ll meet again!” I lowered my head and thought for a moment, shaking my head cruelly and rejecting him!
I tried to use a joking tone to dispel the sentimental atmosphere as I smiled and said, “I’m sorry! Mr. Lin Yichen, your wish is too heavy! Not to mention the sky lanterns, you probably won’t even be able to fly an airplane!”
On the other hand, across from him, he couldn’t smile at all, so it was obvious that he was sad, right? With a look of forced sadness and helplessness, he said, “Well, then remember to take good care of yourself!” I nodded my head intending to leave when he suddenly took my hand again and pulled me back again?
He said to me mysteriously, “Hold out your right hand, I have something for you.” With a puzzled look on my face, I slowly held out my right hand, and he grabbed a handful from his left chest and placed it in mine, and also closed my right hand and placed it on my left chest. He said quietly, “I let you have my heart, and I hope you will take my blessing and find your happiness.”
I was so touched that I couldn’t speak for a moment, I could only stare at his eyes quietly biting my trembling lower lip tightly, trying to hold back my excitement, trying to make the tears stay in my eyes and not fall out. I never thought that this kind of words would actually come out of the mouth of the funny-loving Yichen, who I remembered?
After a few seconds, after I forced down my emotions, I broke into tears and said in a strong voice, “Don’t think you can easily trick me into tears like that!” I had just said that I would not leave here crying this time. I took a deep breath and said with feigned panache and a smile on my face, “Well! You have to be happy too!” After hurriedly waving my hand lightly, I turned my back to him and walked quickly towards the waiting room …… because if I didn’t leave again, I felt that my eyes could barely hold the hot liquid that was about to overflow from the corners of my eyes.
Holding a tissue lightly wipe the face, the plane also began to slowly to taxi to the starting line, I did not expect, Yat-Chen he will unexpectedly come to the airport to see me off today, in the separation of the two years of the day, the original did not enable me to forget him, this reunion, life together with the little by little, on the contrary, it is more so that I treasure up his good to me. Just like the moment when I was about to separate, I almost couldn’t leave his embrace.
In the ears of the rumbling, violent sound of the aircraft engine acceleration, and the gray scenery on both sides of the runway fly by in the I think after the separation, the sad days will one day pass, just then, hand in hand with him to watch the rain, the clouds beautiful rainbow of that woman! It won’t be myself anymore.
“Yichen, I don’t think anyone can love you more in this life than me!” Unfortunately: you will never know ………….
[News Flash]: We are now urgently broadcasting a piece of unfortunate news received by our station. Today, a Boeing 747 flight from Taiwan to Seattle, USA, No. CI016, suddenly lost contact with the tower at 16:20 p.m., six hours after taking off from Taoyuan International Airport. According to the report of a fishing boat operating in the nearby Pacific Ocean, a suspected part of the plane’s fuselage wreckage was found in the sea at 162 degrees east longitude and 65 degrees north latitude.

According to the on-site report, after nightfall, the weather and the bad sea conditions, it is judged that the 225 passengers and 21 crew members on board the plane may have been killed, and unfortunately, there are no survivors. The airline has begun to notify family members of the loss. The following is the list of passengers who died: Wu XX, Song XX, Guo XX, Yin Jiaxi, Lin XX, Wang XX ………. We will continue to update you on the latest news as it becomes available at …….
In life, many sweet and raw love, always by the beginning of the comedy but often to the end of the tragedy of the dismay Turning the page of tragedy, perhaps there will be another page of the beginning of sweet love ……….
I yelled, “Ah! This can’t be happening! I…I don’t believe it! Cassie ……!” After waking up with a jolt of fright and opening my eyes, I looked around and saw only darkness, luckily the TV in the room was off! Turns out it was all just a nightmare! Luckily! Luckily! Gently stroking his chest that was still gasping for air and heaving violently.
One hand on my forehead, rubbing my temples to try and make myself feel better, I realized that I was already breaking out in a bunch of cold sweats, I almost forgot, it’s been a while since Cassie left as well, I’m really scaring myself! I got out of bed, opened the fridge and poured a few mouthfuls of ice water to calm myself down… this dream was too real, wasn’t it? Luckily it wasn’t real.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, I thought quietly: the “life separation” with Jiaxie over the past two years had already made me feel very bad, not to mention the sudden “death separation”. If I have to see her cold, soulless body one day, I really don’t know how to bear the pain of losing her forever. My heart feels like a puzzle with a small corner missing that can never be put together completely!
Chest has been a boring, sad, sad feeling disk distance in the heart, the original in my heart, I still care so much about her, simply can not let go of her! I can’t sleep again tonight! Looked at the watch, it is only 3:30 in the middle of the night pulled the quilt, God! I still have to go to work tomorrow morning!
Finally the end of a busy week, it is not easy to return home, called a few times, there has been no one to respond, it seems that mom and do not know where to go? Took off the high heels, rubbed a little sore calves, casually threw the keys to the coffee table to change the suit worn at work, went to the refrigerator to pour a cup of ice water, before entering the room, but also took an extra bag of casual snacks.
Habitually turned on the computer power, by hand organized a pile of messy reports and information on the table, doubt ~ this only went to find that a while ago I casually threw to the computer desk that USB portable memory, the original is thrown here by something to cover, no wonder I have not seen! I remembered that day when I had to fly back to Taiwan, when I had to go through customs at Taoyuan Airport, I put all the change and metal objects in my pockets into a small basket, and when I was about to give it to the customs officers for inspection, I realized that there was a small object that looked like a USB memory stick. I had just come back from a long day on the airplane and was super tired! I just threw it on my computer desk and went to sleep. I don’t know who it belongs to, and why it was in my pocket that day. Why was it in my pocket that day?
Try plugging it into your computer’s USB slot to see, doubtful? There is only an image file inside, clicked down to see what was inside. Tore open the packaging seal of the snack with my hand, took one and put it in my mouth and ate it, it took a while to read it, a page of white subtitles on a blue background slowly appeared on the Perspex screen, “This is a belated gift.” (I wondered darkly what this was? Weird? It’s even in Chinese?)
After 5 seconds, another page appears.
“In honor of a bond that once briefly existed.” (Is this thing piquing my curiosity more and more? Whose is it anyway? What’s the secret inside?)
This is not bad to eat, strawberry flavor is quite heavy, and took a stuffed into the mouth, a moment, the speaker vaguely seems to come out of some sound, in order to hear a little clearer, I also specially put the speaker volume turned up a little louder, hmm? What is it? On the screen, a picture of the head of a Danshui ferry with a dusk background slowly appeared, and there was a pair of “déjà vu” in the picture, smiling happily and sweetly, looking like a couple in love.
The first thought that went through my mind was, “Oh my God! It’s over! I’ve got a bad feeling in my gut!” Dropping the snacks in my hand, I hurriedly tilted my head back, opened my eyes wide, and desperately used both hands to fan the wind at the corners of my eyes, please, but the PH in my nose was already not listening to my brain, and a brain fell down to below seven Looking at the Ying Curtain’s eyes, my vision gradually began to blur…
Every scene that follows has a photo of me and a small list of lyrics. I don’t have to guess, but I know that apart from me, the only other person in the world who can make me cry is “him”! I think it was the day he sneaked it into my jacket pocket at the airport when I wasn’t looking. I was quietly listening to the song, looking at the lyrics and the photos, and it felt like I was flipping through a music album.
Song: If ever you’re in my arms again by Peabo Bryson
It all came so easy All the loving you gave me The feelings we shared And I still can remember How you touched me so tender （How you touched me so tender It told me you cared We had a once in a lifetime But I just couldn’t see Until it was Until it was gone A second once in a life time Maybe too much to ask but I swear from now on
☆☆☆If ever you’re in my arms again \ N (if you’re back in my arms again) This time I’ll love you much better \ N (this time I’ll love you more) If ever you’re in my If ever you’re in my arms again (If ever you’re in my arms again) This time I’ll hold you forever (This time I’ll hold you forever) This time will never end (This time we’ll never end)
Now I’m seeing clearly \ N (Now I’m seeing clearly) How I still need you near me \ N (I still need you so) I still love you so \ N (I still love you so) There’s something between us \ N (There’s something between us) That won’t ever leave us \ N (There’s no letting go \ N (We had a once in a lifetime) between us That won’t ever leave us There’s no letting go We had a once in a lifetime But I just didn’t know it \ N (But I’m just so blind) Till my life fell apart \ N (Till my life fell apart I realized) A second once in a life time \ N \ N \ N \ N \ N (To give me a second chance) Isn’t it too much to ask cause I swear from too much to ask cause I swear from the heart \ N (never too much to ask, cause I swear from the heart)
The best of romances Deserves second chances I’ll get to you somehow Cause I promise now
After the end of the music, the last scene of the Ying Curtain stayed in the photo of the sky lanterns we released together in Pingxi that day. In the photo, he and I, overflowing with excitement, were pulling the two corners of the lanterns, waiting for the moment when the lanterns went up into the air, and we could vaguely make out the four big red words written on the lanterns, “Dreams come true! At this time I realized that the original in the “beautiful dream come true” four words next to, do not know when? Yichen secretly painted a heart-shaped pattern, but at that time, I did not even realize!
I thought there should be no more when the song was over, and Mouse was going to press end, but the screen suddenly changed again, and I thought, “Strange? Why is there more?” On the blue background, a few lines of white text slowly faded out:
Cee:
I feel very happy and joyful in the days with you, maybe time can never go back to the old days when we loved each other, thank you for all you have given to me in this life, and bring me these 362+3 days of wonderful memories.
Someone you’re not meant to be with.
After reading it, the tear stains that had almost dried up were wet again by his last signature Stinky Yichen, Dead Yichen! Do I have a grudge against you in my past life?
Love is meeting the right person at the right time. If we had met earlier or later, we wouldn’t be in this situation today, right? I can feel his helplessness and powerlessness to separate us due to the reality. I could feel that he was very attentive and serious in making this gift for me, and he even found a sentimental love song as the background music. The first scene at the beginning was the first photo we took in Freshwater after we got together, and the last scene was the last photo we took at the Tian Lantern Festival in Shifen. He deliberately made an electronic photo album with photos of the process of our relationship so that he could leave it to me as a souvenir. This is the most touching gift I have ever received in my life!
Especially that short paragraph at the end, made my whole emotion and mood, fall, the tears that have long covered my cheeks, explains how I feel right now. The corner of my mouth lifted up a smile, I finally understood why he was so angry when he first saw me that day at the airport! Because I didn’t leave without saying goodbye, I almost caused him to be unable to hand over the gift that he had worked so hard to make with his own hands to me.
Looking carefully at these photos, which are filled with emotions, don’t they record the changes I’ve made over the past year and all the sweet memories I’ve had with him? Look at the shy look when I first joined the company with short hair, the first time he took me to Danshui to play, picking up seashells at the beach, fishing for small fish at the Three Gorges Temple Fair, the unforgettable Valentine’s Day at the Fisherman’s Wharf, singing Happy Birthday with him on his birthday, cutting the cake, and the heartfelt kiss that makes your heart beat faster, the sweet hugs in the lavender field, the sleepy face he took in bed, making mischievous faces and spitting out tongue to the camera, and all the sweet memories with him in this past year. The sleeping face, the mischievous face and tongue to the camera,…… a real memories, make me miss the time with him. Especially with the sad music and lyrics, how can one not want to shed tears?
Thinking about these two years desperately repressed themselves, try not to think of him, avoiding the past, throwing themselves into the work, thinking that this will be able to fade away the memories of the past, until this time and Yichen his reunion, the two weeks happened in the past and all kinds of moods only to realize that I simply can not go to forget this period and he had shared a sweet past, so now I will not be able to help but in tears, heartache and sadness. I’m so sad and heartbroken. I pressed the mouse and hit the replay button over and over again, letting myself sit at the computer desk like a madman while watching, laughing and crying!
Heartlessly fiddling with hanging in the computer next to the screen, in the very Lantern Festival, bought the sky lantern Chinese knot small pendant, written in two lines of small words “edge system in this life, happiness is very” lyrics in the sentence “the most beautiful romantic story, worth giving a second chance ″ and real life, once in love with the couple! The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services of the company.
Finally, I finally made it to the end of the day, and when I looked up, the scenic calendar hanging on the wall of the production department’s office had already turned over to the August day when the sea and the sky were colorful and the sun shone brightly. A few minutes before the end of the workday, Xiao Wu from the warehouse and Xiao Qi from the foreign department specially came around to string me along, and they said, “Yichen, Yichen! Do you know that the company has recently recruited two new female assistants?” I said, “I wouldn’t know anything about that. I’m locked up in the production department every day, unlike you guys who can go to every department.”
It just so happened that our manager came over, “Hey! Wu, how come you have time to come to the 5th floor production department?” Wu said, “Manager, no, I didn’t! This week, the warehouse is in the material inventory, I finished the inventory and came here.”
The manager said, “Look how happy you guys are, what were you talking about?” Kiki said, “We see that Yichen hasn’t made any progress in his relationship lately, so we’re here to tell him the good news?”
I asked, “What’s the good news? It can’t be that it’s another date for me to have dinner and get to know each other, right?” Wu said, “You’re really smart, you guessed it! We’ve already made a date for you with one of the girls!”
I said with a lack of interest, “Still coming? I’m not even hopeful anymore, you guys still not tired of playing?” The manager joined in the conversation and said, “Aigoo~ Yichen, I think you must have been too picky, that’s why you’re like this.” In my defense, I said, “Wrongfully accused! Sir.”
Xiaoqi said, “This one is definitely different from the previous appointments, it will definitely be your favorite type!” I shook my head, sighed and said, “Didn’t all of them say that they were my favorite type that time, but in the end, they all either left or ended without any problems?” Wu said confidently, “I guarantee that the one we are going to meet this time, you will definitely like.”
As soon as the closing bell rang, Wu and Qi rushed to press the elevator button, ready to rush downstairs to clock in and out of work again! Wu said, “Yichen, remember! Don’t be late for the front entrance of the Danshui MRT station at 12:00 noon tomorrow!” Xiao Qi also smiled ambiguously and said, “If you don’t go tomorrow, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”
I asked, “Then you guys should at least describe each other, so that I can be a little bit mentally prepared first!” Wu turned around before the elevator came up and said, “She looks like Qin Shi Huang,” I exclaimed, “What did you say? A girl looks like Qin Shi Huang!” Isn’t that just a testosterone-fueled bearded dead maniac with a body like a weightlifter? No way! No way! I won’t go! Xiao Wu said, “No, it’s not! Haven’t you heard of Qin Shi Huang’s tyranny? She’s a tyranny!” I said, “Really? Is she that righteous?” At that moment, the elevator opened, and Wu and Qi said in unison, raising their fingers and saying, “She’s super hot!”
But I felt strange and asked, “Since she looks so decent, how come she doesn’t have a boyfriend?” Xiaoqi pretended to be uninformed and said, “I don’t know, she said herself that she doesn’t have one, or else you can ask her yourself tomorrow.” I hurriedly asked, “Then what’s her name?” Before the elevator door closed, Xiaoqi spoke loudly, “She did tell me her name, but I forgot it! I only remember her English name is Annie!” Before I could ask any other questions, I could only hear a burst of weird laughter coming from the elevator, I really don’t know what the two of them are up to again. Suddenly, a chill came over my back, and I couldn’t help but worry that tomorrow, if there is a violent teeth girl, that kind of “violent″ positive words, I may die on the spot! Or jump into the Danshui River and swim across the river to the left bank of Bali at a speed of 100 meters to escape!
The manager also said, “Yichen, go and see more la! Think of it as a chance for others and for yourself.” He also said, “Even the Founding Fathers’ revolution took eleven times to succeed, I have faith in you.” I retorted, “Manager, I’ve only had two conversations so far, and I’ll probably be 80 years old by the time I’ve had ten.”
The manager said, “Alright! Yichen, put your stuff away and get ready to leave work, please help me patrol the factory power supply today! It’s rare that my wife asked me to go to Warner Watson to see a movie at 6:30 tonight, so I’m going to run away first.”
I said enviously, “Hooray! Manager you are very happy!” The manager said, “I owe you one, I’ll do it for you when you get a girlfriend some day.” I said jokingly, “Manager, it’ll be next week! Maybe I’ll get one tomorrow!” Before the manager left, he said, “You, sleep more! Get some sleep and stop daydreaming! You! Bye!”
At night in my room, I ironed and hung up the clothes I was going to wear tomorrow before I had to leave the house at noon tomorrow, so I wouldn’t have to fumble with them again. Suddenly I remembered that someone had said, “If I am determined to leave you, I will never let you find me again.” And she was really a woman who would do what she said she would do. She had been gone for several months now, but there was still no news of her, and she sighed, “If only I could be as good as she was at saying goodbye, that would be so wonderful! I don’t know how, but the shell wind chime next to the window was blown by the wind and tinkled a bit. Was there a wind just now? How come I didn’t feel it ……
The next day at noon, I waited at the front entrance of the Danshui MRT station early in the morning. Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi did not tell us the characteristics and looks of the girl they were meeting yesterday and ran away, I just called my cell phone to ask them about it, but it turned out that both of them did not turn on their phones, so I couldn’t ask them even if I wanted to, so it seems that I can only rely on myself. How can I find the girl named Annie in the crowd? I had to ask them one by one. It was 12 o’clock and I tried to ask a few girls who looked like Annie, but none of them looked like Annie.
Even next to some of the people waiting, also one by one were picked up, or also almost gone again look at the watch, it turned out to be already 12:30, to now have not yet arrived, half an hour late, the girl’s impression has become very bad! Even if she didn’t want to come or had something to do, at least she should have been polite and given some prior notice, right? I don’t think she’s going to come because she’s going to look like an idiot under the midday sun and ask questions one by one.
When I was walking to ride my bike home, I saw a lot of sexy girls in beautiful clothes on the old street of Danshui, wow! I realized that summer is really here! Some of the girls had the guts to dress up, and some of them were so revealing that for men, it was like eating a file of ice while blowing on an electric fan, it felt “cool!”
Across the street came a few young girls, talking and laughing, it looks like they should be friends or classmates, right? One of them, a plump and tall girl, was wearing a short blue jean skirt, with her slender thighs almost fully exposed, and a silver sequined low-cut backless cutie, with her breasts squeezed to the point where they were about to pop out (why would you buy such a small underwear if you don’t have anything to do with it?). Wearing this way, it is difficult for people not to notice her!
It is conceivable that as soon as she bends down, the inner beauty under her skirt will be exposed, and the mere thought of it will make people’s beasts go into a frenzy! Unconsciously, all the anger of being stood up just now has dissipated, oh~ the blood is almost concentrated somewhere, I feel like I’m going to burst a blood vessel! (Don’t get me wrong, I mean my eyes.)
Upon closer inspection, the dress is hot yes! Unfortunately, it’s all down to her white leather riding boots! In August, when it’s over 30 degrees Celsius, you’re wearing white leather riding boots? It’s not like she’s smothering pig’s feet when she thinks about the smell of sweaty leather feet in her boots!
Or walking not far behind her, another is looking sideways at the window of the young girl, dressed with a better, black two-tier and knee ruffled chiffon gauze skirt, lightly stepped on the white low-heeled sandals, revealing a section of white well-proportioned calves and slender ankles, carrying a small white handbag, low-cut white hanging neck little cute, outside with a chiffon gauze blouse with seven-minute sleeves of the same black system, white fitted! Tailored cutie with two white thin straps tied in a pretty bow behind the shoulders.
Small reveal flawless snow white skin shoulder and sexy collarbone, bust although not very prominent, but with her height and body type is just right, vaguely can be seen her chest line is quite perfect. She also revealed a small cleavage inadvertently, which was very intriguing! Light reddish-brown smooth straight long hair, forehead diagonally parted side of the neat bangs, ears, but also intentionally left a handful of small bundles of hair, with the wind fluttering ah fluttering, although did not completely see her face, but the feeling should not be bad to there.
Looking horizontally or straight ahead, it’s much better looking than the one in front just now, the female pork seller! This kind of angelic face, demonic body woman is really loved by everyone! If the girl introduced by Wu and Qi today is of this type, not to mention considering it, I can even get down on my knees in the street and propose right now!
That airy girl dressed in a mature, yet with a touch of sexiness, pink-orange blush, light peach eye shadow, watery sparkling pink lip gloss, thin and sexy, just the right size lips, airy with a touch of sexiness.
She tilted her head down and covered her mouth with one hand, covering half of her face and I across the street, coincidentally and I looked at each other, I did not expect her to notice me! She also smiled gently at me, she is probably making fun of me, just now has been staring at the exposed hot girl in front of her, a look to see can not stop staring at the horny look it!
Peeping at the hot girl, will also be other girls catch bag, huh ~ think really really funny! However, her charming smile, for me is really quite lethal, but also fortunate that there is no pole in front of me, otherwise, I may really look stupid, head on, the next picture can be imagined should be a burst of laughter of passers-by, coupled with my face nosebleed it!
And the girl after the wrong way, I myself can not help but laugh at their own behavior just now, heh ~ heh ~ heh …… after walking two or three steps? The blackmail? Suddenly feel a little strange! I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that! How things, as if a little bit not quite right look! I stopped walking, slowly turned my head, looked again, just now the girl’s light back, “light reddish-brown long hair?” “Charming smile?” “The pair of eyes that seemed familiar?” Now that I look at her again, I realize that the style of the “small white bag” in her hand is quite familiar! I feel like I’ve seen it there before. In my mind, a certain person suddenly appeared, could it be her? I don’t think so! Is it my imagination again?
After hesitating for two or three seconds, I thought to myself, “No, no, I must find out what’s being said!” I looked and waited until no cars crossed the road, and towards her fading back, I took big steps to catch up, deliberately overtaking her from the side, and after stealing another glance at her…
God damn it! What’s going on now? This…woman, isn’t that “Yoon Gah-See”? I can’t believe what I’m seeing! I rubbed my eyes again to see if I hadn’t slept enough and was mistaken. She didn’t seem to be surprised at all, and laughed out loud at me with her head turned sideways! I’m so surprised I can hardly speak, “Wait a minute! You…why are you here? Didn’t you… go back already?”
She made fun of me and said, “Heh! Has it been too long since you’ve seen a hot girl? Your eyes are about to fall out when you see a hot girl.” She also made fun of me and said, “That girl’s breasts are really big, do you want to go after them again and look at them a few more times?”
She said in a sour tone at my expense, “See how you couldn’t even recognize me when I walked across the street from you?” I quickly retorted, “That…that did! I just recognized it, that’s why I caught up with it right away” I nervously asked, “Right, you still haven’t answered me, why are you here?”
She laughed until she was almost done, then said, “I am back to attend the annual seminar held by the head office every year, in fact, I don’t really want to come back, only that the factory temporarily had an important big customer to visit, my father couldn’t spare the time to come back to the meeting, so he assigned me to attend the meeting with a senior manager instead of him, in fact, I have already been back for a few days, and it so happens that today is the weekly off day, the company didn’t I’ve been back for a few days, and it just so happens that today is the second day of the week off, and the company isn’t working, so I just wanted to say that I came out for a stroll.”
She asked me curiously again, “Doubtful~ Yichen, then why are you here?” I hurriedly calmed down and blurted out, “Uh…I…I’m meeting my friends here…for dinner! Yes, just dinner!” She raised her eyebrows and asked with skeptical eyes, “Doubtful~ By the looks of it! You didn’t meet a new girl for dinner, did you?” I hurriedly explained to her, “Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi made the date for me, I was just bored and came out for a walk!” She said, “Actually, you don’t have to explain anything to me, everyone has the right to make friends!” She then asked, “Then why are you still standing here? Hurry up and go! It’s already 12:30pm!” Only then did I say resentfully, “I probably got stood up…” She looked gloating and said sarcastically, “I didn’t realize that our handsome guy would also get stood up?”
All I could do was awkwardly, try to change the subject by asking her, “Let’s not talk about that, so have you had lunch yet?” She shielded her eyes from the harsh sunlight with one hand and said, “I haven’t been here long, I haven’t eaten yet!” I hurriedly invited her and said, “Since it’s so rare to meet her, why don’t we have lunch together?” She said to me, “That’s fine! But I don’t like being a light bulb!” I didn’t expect to be caught by her this time, and I was embarrassed by her on the spot! I said with a helpless look on my face, “Alright! Have you lost enough?” She laughed again and nodded, indicating that she was satisfied! Looking at her beside me, I really don’t know, is it lucky to meet her again today? Or unfortunate?
I suggested, “Why don’t we go for a Japanese charcoal grill, and since the sun is so high, let’s just go for the cold air on the way!” She nodded in satisfaction and said, “Hmm! That’s a good suggestion, I haven’t had a charcoal grill in a long time either!” We stopped at a Japanese-style charcoal grill not far from the Danshui MRT station, and the two of us were busy grilling with tongs in one hand and brushes in the other. After I helped her pour drinks and get the dipping sauces, she asked me what kind of drinks I was pouring. I said, “One for me is orange juice, and one for you is black tea.” She reached over and took the orange juice out of my hand. She reached over and took the orange juice out of my hand, took a taste and said, “It’s a little sour! I’ll stick with the black tea.” I was lost in thought as I looked at the light lipstick mark she had left on the cup and thought to myself how am I going to drink this now?
With a big smile on her face, she pinched a few pieces of roasted pork slices and put them in my bowl, urging me, “I roasted it, eat it and see if it’s good!” I took a piece and dipped it in the sauce, then put it into my mouth and chewed a few times, “Mmm~Yummy, the meat won’t be roasted too old!” She kept an eye on the expression on my face, and said with a bit of uncertainty, “Uhm…is the meat cooked through? And did the meat go bad? Will it be too tough?” I took a few more bites to be sure and said, “Mmmmmm… mmmmmm… yes! There’s cooked! It’s good!” Then she happily said, “Yay! Then I can finally start!” I felt a bit strange and asked, “Wait a minute! Did you just give it to me first ……?” She said with a natural expression, “Yes! You have to try it first, to see if the meat is cooked? Is the meat bad? Only then can I eat it!” Pretending to be fine, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up a slice of pork that was still moist, dipped it in the sauce and feasted on it.
With a “rainy day” look on my face, I slowly read out her name word by word, “Yoon ~ Jia ~ Xi! You – this – bad – hearted – woman – person!” You’re just not afraid that I’ll get diarrhea later and poop until I have a prolapse and send it to the emergency room! She couldn’t help but laugh out loud and said, “I’m sorry! I’m just kidding!”
We ate for almost an hour and a half before leaving, a walk out of the store not three minutes, the heat of the direct afternoon sun and the stifling lavender wind, let a person’s forehead began to sweat, couldn’t eat, just now dinner chat, I realized that the original afternoon she was also fine.
Wandering over to where I had parked my motorcycle, I thought about how I could avenge the loss I had just suffered at her expense, and I deliberately asked her, “Are you going to be hungry? Do you want some more steak?” She didn’t know my intention, she still looked like she didn’t know that the time of her death was approaching and said, “I’ve already eaten a lot just now, I can’t eat any more!” I started the motorcycle, OK, signaling that she could sit up. She had forgotten that the seat cushion, which had been exposed to the sun for two hours, was like a hot iron plate in a steakhouse.
She stepped up with one foot and squealed out as soon as she sat down on her butt, “Ahh! It’s so hot!” I deliberately asked her, “Does it feel like you’re frying a steak now?” She said anxiously, “Hurry up and go! My ass is so hot!” I then accelerated the gas and rode forward, saying, “Good! What a nice pan-fried filet mignon.” She slapped me on the back to show her anger and said, “Fry your ass! My ass is almost cooked!” She complained, “It’s hot! I’m wearing a skirt today, not jeans, you’re bad!” She then asked me, “Right! Where are you taking me? You’re not going to sell me secretly, are you?”
I said, “I went to hide from the sun! Besides, the price of dead pigs is not good lately, you can’t sell it for a few dollars even if you weigh it!” My back was hit hard again, and she said with anger and amusement, “You’re the one who’s sick and dying!”
I asked, “Strange? What’s wrong with you today? Why do I feel as if you are particularly happy?” She acted as if nothing had happened and said, “Yes? Is it okay?”
Next, I rode slowly, and she quietly looked at the different changes of scenery along the way. In the past, when she and I were still together, sometimes on holidays, I would bring her to this scenic coastline to blow the sea breeze.
I looked in the rearview mirror and saw her taking out sunscreen lotion from her purse and applying it to her arms. Seeing that I was riding my bike, she also kindly put some sunscreen lotion on my neck and gently pushed it on evenly, so I felt a little weird and said to her, “I’m a man!” She didn’t think so and said, “Men! Men get sunburned too!” She also said, “This contains aloe vera, so it moisturizes and cools you down.” I shook my head and said, “Women are women!” But in my heart, I had a familiar, weird feeling, and the urge to get goosebumps came to mind! Suddenly my eyelids began to flutter violently again? It’s over! According to the rule of thumb in the past, I have a hunch that today is not going to be too peaceful.
We stopped at a seaside coffee house full of Mediterranean style and Southern Ocean style, blue and white color tone. When we walked in, there were already five or six tables of customers in the house, except for the boss and the boss’s wife. The boss nodded to me and asked me, “Same old seat?” I nodded, hmm! Trouble! After a while, the boss’s wife brought over a catalog and asked kindly, “You haven’t been here for a long time? Are you on vacation today?” I smiled and said, “Uh-huh!”
Curious, she asked, “It’s rare to see you bring a friend here, isn’t it? Did you just meet them?” I said, “No, we’ve known each other for a long time.” After hearing me say that, the boss’s wife’s eyes widened behind Cassie’s back, and while Cassie was looking at the menu, she pointed her finger at Cassie, meaning “Is that her?” I didn’t say much, just nodded gently.
The boss’s wife first widened her eyes in surprise and looked incredulous. Then, she turned her back on Cassie and raised her big finger, meaning that she also thought Cassie looked very Nice.After we finished ordering our drinks, the boss’s wife walked back to the bar and also whispered to the boss for a while, and the boss’s eyes were also turned to ours, and it seemed that he was also tasting Cassie a bit.Cassie finally couldn’t help but ask me, “Do you come here often? ” I said, “Well, I used to come here a lot, so the owner and the owner’s wife both remember me.” Jiashie curiously looked around the house at the decorations and furnishings
A while later, the owner’s wife brought the drinks we ordered, she ordered a cup of iced plum green tea while I ordered a cup of iced Assam milk tea She took a big sip of it and then said contentedly, “Ah! It’s so comfortable! It’s really hot outside.”
I asked her a chilling joke: “Brew jasmine flowers in tea and it will turn into jasmine tea.” Soak a rose in tea and it turns into rose tea. And what, pray tell, does steeping your ass in tea turn it into? After hearing this, she first laughed out and said, “You’re so disgusting! Who would soak their ass in tea?” Then she thought seriously and said, “Would it be ass flower tea?” I said, “No! Guess again!” She kept guessing wrong, so she just asked, “Then what’s the answer?” I said, “Chrysanthemum tea.” She laughed out loud, pushed my hand and said, “You’re boring!” She said, “I’m craving a freshly baked honey muffin right now, why don’t we order it?” I didn’t have a problem with that and said, “Sure! You order, I’ll go to the restroom first, and make a call to Wu and Hui.”
After saying that, Yichen walked outside the house, where the reception was better to make a phone call I walked over to the bar and said to the boss lady, “Boss lady, please I want to add a honey muffin.” The owner nodded with a smile and said, “Yes!” When the boss heard that, he started to wash his hands and started to make them.
As I was about to turn around to go back to my seat, the owner’s wife suddenly asked me and said, “Did you just go back to your country?” I stopped and said in surprise, “Yeah! How did you know?” The boss’s wife, as if she was chatting with a friend, said to me while wiping the cup with a cloth, “I heard him mention before that he once had a girlfriend, and then she seemed to have gone abroad.” When I heard that, I felt strange and asked, “What does that have to do with the fact that I just came back from abroad?” She said, “Because we’ve never seen him bring anyone here, and you’re the first girl he’s brought here.” That’s why I had a gut feeling it would be you.
Suddenly being brought up and being the main character, especially in front of strangers, made me feel a little embarrassed on the spot, and I smiled awkwardly and said, “So that’s what it was like!” I jokingly asked the boss’s wife, “So did he steal any more bad words about me?” The boss’s wife laughed out loud and shook her head no.
She added, “You know what? He’s kinda funny!” I couldn’t understand her and asked her, “What?” She thought for a moment and said, “He’s been here, for almost a year or so, almost close to two.” She continued, “In the beginning, he rode here on almost holidays, whenever it wasn’t raining.” As soon as we saw him, we knew it must be Saturday, and he used to sit alone just quietly at the table you are sitting at now, and he was so individual that he would only sit at that table every time, and we don’t know why? If there was someone else sitting there, he would ride his bike out for a while and then come back, often ordering a drink and staying until it got dark. Sometimes he would read magazines and listen to music, but he would often stare at the “other side of the sea”.
When she mentioned the words “the other side of the sea”, she also deliberately slowed down her speech, the boss’s wife implied so obvious, it would be difficult for me not to hear, so I couldn’t help but laugh out loud I nodded my head, indicating that I “received” the message she was trying to convey to me.
Out of the corner of my eye, I seem to have glimpsed that Yichen was about to walk out of the restroom, I was very grateful to the boss’s wife, “Thank you for telling me all this, otherwise, I wouldn’t have known that there are all these things.” The boss’s wife and the boss, although their hands were busy at the same time, still said with a leisurely and natural smile, “You’re welcome!”
After Yichen returned to his seat, he complained, “Strange, where did Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi go today? Their cell phones aren’t answering and they haven’t been able to get in touch.” I wanted to ask them, “What’s going on today?” With an uneasy heart, I asked, “What’s wrong? Are you still upset about being stood up today?” He said, “I just want to know what happened. Did that woman have an accident halfway across the country or something?” I calmed him down by saying, “If they didn’t call, that means it’s okay, otherwise they would have called already.” I was relieved to see that his expression seemed to be one of resignation.
I moved my head a bit, working out in my mind what I should ask that would be less revealing. I asked him, “Why don’t you sit at the next table? I think the view from that table is better!” Yichen explained, “Actually, the view from every table is similar, but only this one is the closest to the sea.” I played dumb and said, “Wow! So that’s how it is.” I’m really impressed with how smart I am, I was able to get the answer I wanted to know in one go!
I sipped the plum green tea without taking a sip, and in my heart, I was thinking about the words that the boss’s wife intentionally mentioned to me just now, imagining that Yichen often sits in the seat “closest to the sea” and stares at the “other side of the sea”, if I were to be the other side of the sea, what kind of mood would I be in? I think there is only one right answer…right?
With mixed feelings, unconsciously he glanced toward his face again.
At dusk, we walked out to the large terrace outside the café to get some air, and below us was a large, clean sandy beach. The sun had turned from a blinding mirror into a yellow disk, rendering the clouds into a yellowish three-dimensional painting, and the sea in the distance was colored a dazzling golden yellow, making the view very pleasant and relaxing.
He suddenly took my hand and headed down to the beach below, I gave him a skeptical look at first then I laughed out loud because I guessed what he wanted from the look in his eyes! When we got to the beach, he took off his shoes and pulled up his pants, and the two of us walked side by side, barefoot, on the cold beach!
He naturally took my hand, I didn’t dodge or run away, and he spoke to me at length, “Cassie, I’ve never thought about it.” I asked, “Thought about what?” He paused for a moment and said, “Well…thought about another day when I could hold your hand and walk on the beach together.” I smiled a little and asked, “And then what?” He burst out laughing contentedly himself and said, “It was very much like a dream!” Maybe it’s because after the last time we were separated at the airport, our hearts aren’t quite as Ripley as they used to be? Plus, we’ve matured a bit, so we dare to say what we want to say, so that we don’t have any regrets later on!
He spoke, “You know what? A while back, not long after you left, I was dreaming about you.” I asked, “Really? And what did you dream about me?” He deliberately kept it a secret and said, “I’d rather not say, or you’ll be angry again.” I guessed, “I’ll get mad? Hmmm? Could it be ……!” I intuitively thought of saying, “Hooray! You…you beast! You didn’t defile me in your dream, did you?” He didn’t even think I’d say that, and he laughed out loud and said, “Come on! Are you thinking about that?” I asked, “So, what exactly did you dream about?” He said, “I dreamed that the plane you were on crashed and you died.” I feigned sorrow and said, “So you’ve been cursing me in your heart to die early.” He hurriedly explained, “It’s not like that, that dream was so real that I was so sad that I couldn’t sleep the whole night, and for the next two or three days my mood was not very good.”
But I figured something out because of it. I asked curiously, “What is it?” He said, “If you have something you want to say or do, you should do it as soon as possible, and don’t wait until you don’t have the chance, leaving regrets in your heart.” I nodded my head with deep feeling.
He took my hand and said to me, “So, I wanted to tell you while I could still see you.” I was a little scared and a little expectant, wondering what he would say next. He said, “I’m powerless to change the differences in our circumstances, so I’ve never been able to ask to get back together with you, but I want you to know that I still love you, and I still hope that someday you’ll come back to me, and I’ll cherish you even more than before, but I don’t know how much longer I can wait.”
The corner of his mouth pursed out a trace of a smile, dashingly said, “I just hope that I later, will not leave regrets, so only to use the present to say what is in his heart, you listen to it even if you do, I do not hope that you because of these words of mine, so that between us will even be a friend can not be made.”
I shook my head to show that I wouldn’t be like that.
However, hearing his sincere confession, I was almost tricked into shedding tears again, especially with the words, “I don’t know how much longer I can wait?” The feeling of helplessness in my heart made me blink a few times to vaporize the water in my eyes in the sea breeze.
I pretended to be joking so I could escape my inner feelings & answer his confession positively by saying, “Hey! What did you just say about being able to see me? You really wish I would have died earlier!” Maybe I’ve even become a ghost now and have come back from abroad to ask for your life! I also playfully rolled my eyes, spat out my tongue, and made a gesture to pinch him, “Lin Yichen~ Give me back my life~”
He also wanted to sweep away the awkward atmosphere just now and played along with me, saying with a happy face, “Yes! Good ah! It’s a good death to die under such a beautiful female ghost!” With a weird face, he said, “It’s best if I can die a painful death by exhausting my sperm and squeezing it until not a single drop is left!” I said, “Lin~Yi~Chen, you’re very nasty! You won’t even let go of a female ghost’s tofu?” Be careful, a female ghost will really come to settle the score with you in your dream tonight!
He said wryly, “Come on! Think about it, it’s a pain in the ass to squeeze until there’s not a drop left!” I laughed and retorted to him, “Don’t you dare! I think it’s the female ghost that’s more painful!” “You colorful ghost!” I made a move to hit him, so he dodged to keep me from hitting him, and we chased him down the beach.
Later, when we were tired of playing, we fell on our asses and sat on the soft, still sunny beach, sitting side by side and blowing the gentle sea breeze, I complained, “I’m so tired of running, my neck is so sore! Yichen?” He asked, “What is it?” I said, “Lend me your shoulder.” He looked puzzled, not sure what I wanted, but his immediate response was, “Oh!” I rested my head directly on his shoulder before he realized my motive and said, “Hey, you’re enjoying yourself!” I leaned lightly on his thick shoulder and said, “Yeah!” But in fact, in my heart, I was still touched by the confession he just made.
A moment later, he asked, “Do you want to button up your coat?” I asked, “Why?” He said, “Well…it’s windy on the beach.” I said, “But I won’t feel cold!” He added, “But if you don’t button it up, I won’t be able to resist looking at a certain angle all the time.” I looked down and realized that he was referring to the low-cut cutie I was wearing today. I suddenly wanted to tease him and deliberately moved my body a little closer to him and said, “Is this a better way to look at it?” When I saw Yichen exaggerating, holding his heart with one hand and covering his nose with the other for fear of nosebleeds spewing out in the form of a heart attack, he fell down onto the beach in one motion. He fell down to the beach, the body shaking and shaking funny appearance, caused me to laugh out happily, in fact, I do not know, he simply want to make me happy only.
We had been each other’s closest companion, and which inch of each other’s body hadn’t been seen? Not to mention the upper body, even the most intimate …… One thought, I can’t help but feel my heart beating faster and my ears getting hot! I can’t help but tell myself (Yin Jiaxi, you horny girl, what are you thinking about right now?)
Later, we sat snuggled up on the beach at dusk, watching the tide come and go, listening to the sound of the surging waves in our ears, with three or two white seabirds whisking low over the golden sea in front of us, and children chasing puppies on the sand. He suddenly turned to me and said, “Your shoulder, lend it to me too.” While my mind was still spinning, one of his hands was already around my shoulder, I was first shocked, looked into his eyes, then smiled out, relieved to lean my body against his, why would I feel satisfied and want to smile? I think it was a kind of intimate understanding between a kindred couple! “How I wish, at this moment, there is someone I love who can embrace me and be with me to quietly share all this beauty in front of me.” That’s what I used to say to him the last time I parted from him at the airport, and now “he thought of it!”
I thought to myself, “Yes! It’s this special feeling and tacit understanding!” When I was abroad, there wasn’t a man who pursued me that could give me this kind of feeling, even if he was in a good condition only Yichen could understand what was going on in my heart, what I needed right now. When I’m with him, I feel at ease, happy, and blissful. I think it’s because we share the same love frequency with each other! As long as two people touch each other, it will cause a love sympathy!
Under the glittering sunset, I held my long hair in one hand to avoid being blown by the sea breeze, and in the other hand, I grabbed a handful of sea sand and played with it mindlessly, and it was only a moment later that I realized that Yichen had been secretly staring at my face! I asked, “What are you looking at?” He shook his head and smiled. I pressed him, “Say, what were you peeking at?” He spoke softly, “I don’t know why? I always thought you looked especially beautiful today, and I had a feeling of being electrified myself.” I didn’t expect him to say it so explicitly and directly, without any concealment! After I heard that, my cheeks immediately became hot, and I was a bit at a loss for words on the spot.
I stood up and tried to escape his deep gaze, I picked up a long dead branch on the beach and just wrote naughtily on the sand, I struggled for a while, I wrote on the sand, “Lin Yichen, is a big fool, the world’s biggest fool!” With a playful ghost face drawn on the side, I laughed out loud at my masterpiece!
When Yichen saw me laughing at something, he got up and walked over to see what I was doing. When he saw it, his face turned dark and then he laughed out loud! Immediately, he also went to find a tree branch, and followed my example, writing words not far from the side, I was curious to go over to see what he was writing. I was curious and went over to see what he was writing, but he wrote: “Yin Jiaxi is a big sow, the world’s largest sow.” Next to him, he also drew a big sow like me, very much like only elementary school students can draw, although I felt angry and funny! However, I only said coldly, “Boring! Childish!”
As a result, he saw that I ignored him, he walked to the wet beach by the sea to write words, watching him write so attentively, and from time to time the corner of his mouth with a smile, for a while, I can not help but curiosity, I want to know what in the end he is writing? Stealing when he did not pay attention, sneak over, I walked to the place very close to his back, want to from the back of the neck peeping, the result was found by him, he hastened to use his hand to cover my line of sight, said: “You can not see!” Just as my body dodged right and left, and my sight finally broke free from his big hand, just as a relatively large tide hit, as a result, the words he had just written were all erased by the sea. I said with disappointment, “Howl! Look, it’s all out of sight now!”
He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed out and said, “It’s okay.” I purposely asked him, “What were you just stealing to write? It was so much fun to write!” He said, smugly and happily, “I’m not telling you! It’s a secret!” I pretended not to care and said, “If you don’t tell me, don’t tell me! I don’t want to know anyway, it must be another sow or something!” I couldn’t help but snicker out behind his back, “Idiot! Actually, I peeked at it a long time ago!”
It was then that we realized that the fiery red sun was already half-submerged into the sea, and the first bright stars appeared in the dark blue sky in the distance, but it was strange! How is it that the evening sun seems to be surprisingly red and brilliant to-day? On the beach, only two long tracks remained, stretching all the way to the coffee-house above.
He spoke up and said, “It’s nearly six o’clock in the evening and it’s time for dinner.” He asked me, “So what do you want to eat tonight?” I was in an unusually pleasant mood and said, “Whatever, depends on what you want to eat?” I suddenly thought of it and said, “Right! Last time I came back, you were the one who broke the bank, so this time, you must let me treat you.” He looked skeptical and said, “Really?” I said, “Of course, whatever you want to eat is fine, this time it’s my treat. I jokingly warned him, “Don’t try to steal from me this time!”
An hour later, I called out to him with an expressionless face, “Yichen…” he asked me while pulling out his keys, “What’s up?” I said coldly, “Why do I feel like I have a feeling of being set up?” He stifled his laughter and said, “You said yourself that it’s ok to eat whatever I want, and you’re not allowed to steal it from you.” I was on the verge of tears when I said, “Then why do you want to eat my western food?” If you want to eat western food, let’s just go to a western restaurant, why do you need me to cook it?
He carried the vegetables he had just bought at the supermarket and stifled a laugh, saying, “That feeling just isn’t the same!” I think the ones you cooked last time were very delicious, and since it’s rare for you to come back, I would love to eat the dishes you cooked again. With a very expectant face, he asked, “So what are you going to cook today?” I pinned up my long hair as I sold the idea, “You’ll find out later.” I put on my apron and began to work my way in and out by handling the ingredients, making the sauce, and preheating the oven.
After a while, I always felt as if I was being watched from behind, and when I turned my head back, I saw Yichen, standing behind me, staring at my back, and I asked him curiously, “Hey! Why are you staring at me?” As if he was admiring a work of art, he said, “If the wife I marry in the future can be as virtuous as you, I don’t know how happy I will be!” I pretended to be angry to hide my embarrassment and said to him, “Stop staring and find me two plates for serving! Remember to wash and dry them first!” I also threatened him, “Or else I won’t be responsible if our dinner turns into a midnight snack!”
He was also naughty and deliberately ate my verbal tofu saying, “Yes, obey, wife!” I retorted with a pout, “Who is your wife? You horny bastard, after eating the female ghost’s tofu, you even dare to eat the old lady’s!” I made a gesture to look for something and said, “Strange, where did I put my laxative? I’ll shit you to death tonight!” He hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry! I was wrong! You’ve got a lot of nerve, ma’am! Please be generous,” causing me to laugh out loud! He couldn’t help but slap my forehead and said, “Still laughing! You’ll be responsible for eating all the meat when it burns!” I let out an “ouch” in pain, but there was a familiar sweet feeling in my heart!
Later, with the help of Yichen, the two of us worked for almost two hours, and finally it was done! Yichen appreciated, “I didn’t realize that using mushrooms and chicken to make pasta would be so delicious!” And the red wine roasted lamb chops, grilled without the smell of lamb and very tender, baked prawns with cheese, the shrimp meat is also very flexible, the French baked onion soup is very flavorful, the soup is also very thick, you cook delicious! It’s as if I’m really eating in a western restaurant, I’ve really earned it today!”
Knowing that I was set up by him, but seeing the way he happily took big, big bites, I don’t know why, but I couldn’t get angry? Instead, I felt a sense of satisfaction.
After I had eaten, I wanted to help Yichen clean up the kitchen and dining table first, so that he wouldn’t have to wash them again tomorrow, so he said, “It’s hard for a wife to cook, just leave the rest of the cleanup to hubby!” I said, “Don’t flatter yourself, who is your wife? You’re not my husband!” Yichen pushed me into the living room and said, “Good! Good! Good! If you don’t want to be my wife, then you should take a rest first, I’ll take care of it here.” I laughed out loud and said, “When did I become your wife again?” I called out, “Yichen, lend me the bathroom first, I want to take a shower first, my whole body is sticky and smells of grease, and my hair is so dry from the sea breeze that it’s almost like straw.” He replied loudly from the kitchen, “OK, help yourself!”
When I came out of the kitchen, he had just finished cleaning up, shook the water off his hands, and came out. He got serious and said, “You’ve changed a lot in terms of cooking! It’s hard to relate to the old you.” I laughed bitterly and said, “This sister has practiced abroad, children do not learn from nonsense!” I turned on the TV and watched, wrapped my hair, and when my hair dried a little, I heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and I thought he would like to take a shower to get rid of the seawater smell on his body first! After all, the feeling of being salty and sticky all over is not pleasant for anyone!
When he was in the shower, his cell phone, which was placed on the coffee table in the living room, sounded like it had received a text message. I picked it up curiously and glanced at it, and it turned out that the person who had sent the message was the bridesmaid from the last wedding, Yizhen! After he came out, I told him, “Someone just sent you a text message, do you want to read it first?” He first read the content, and then put down the phone, and did not mention to me what was transmitted above, according to a woman’s intuition, the heart rose a feeling of uneasiness ………
Later, I went to his room and borrowed the hair dryer to blow-dry my hair, while he came into the room from the balcony holding a pile of freshly dried clothes. After turning off the hair dryer, I heard the sound of dripping rain outside and asked, “Yichen, do you still have the photo of us watching the sky lanterns at Ten Tenths last time?” He said yes! In my computer files, you find it yourself I opened the computer to look at the photos, while he folded the clothes, by the way, the clothes into the closet I said to Yat-sen, “Hey, just now I watched the news, I saw that tomorrow there will be a moderate typhoon landfall Oh.” He said that he would drive me back later when the rain subsided a bit before it got too late! I said, “Okay!”
Thinking it was about time to unlock the secret, I reached for my cell phone and called, “Hello! Ms. Lee? I’m Annie from the US branch, are you calling me this afternoon for something? “Uh-huh! Okay, then I’ll bring that file over again on Monday, is that okay?” “Yes, please talk to Mr. Wang for me then! Okay! That’s it then! Bye!”
After hanging up the phone, Yichen suddenly turned his head and looked at me with a suspicious face he asked a little skeptically, “When you were talking on the phone just now, you said your name was ……?” I said naturally, “Annie ah! My English name is called Annie” His face was full of anticipation as he asked, “Do you have something with me today?” I said calmly, “What is it? What are you talking about?” He got a little skeptical and said, “Is that really what this is? Why do I feel weird?” I opened my eyes wide and put on an innocent expression, “What’s wrong?” Then when he saw that I looked like I didn’t know what was going on, he looked a little disappointed and said, “It’s nothing, I might have gotten it wrong.”
I mentioned to him, “By the way, let me tell you something really funny!” I said, “I saw a pervert near the Danshui MRT station at lunchtime today, looking for women to talk to. In addition to young women in their twenties, college students in their teens, and even married women in their thirties, he kept asking if their name was Annie. Moreover, he takes in all sizes and ages, almost all young girls are not spared, do you think he is worse than a beast?”
Yichen, he listened to a burst of green on his face, a burst of white, idiots can also hear that I am talking about him I was watching from the side to see how he might react next, at first his expression was a bit unhappy, even his eyebrows were tightly entangled together, pointing his finger at me and saying, “You…!” A moment later, he slowly went from an angry expression to a somewhat puzzled look again?
He asked me skeptically, “Wait, how did you know that the girl I asked out today was named Annie?” I don’t remember telling you the name of the girl I asked out today from start to finish? How did you know that her name is Annie? There’s no way you could have known!
I snickered inwardly, “Looks like he’s not so dumb after all!” I turned my back to him and snickered, “You’re so smart, guess what?” With a suspicious and nervous look on his face, he asked, “Tell me! How the hell did you know?” I made a gesture to take my handbag and tried to change the topic, “The rain seems to have subsided, didn’t you just say that you wanted to drive me back?” He said seriously, “No, I must get to the bottom of this.”
He thought for a moment with a deep frown, and after a few seconds, as if he had sorted out a bit of a clue, he asked with a more certain expression than me, “The conclusion is ~ you’re Annie!””In fact, you’re the Annie who’s about to meet with me today! Right?” He caught me by the shoulders with a look of anticipation hoping that I would admit it, “Right?” I finally couldn’t help myself and laughed out loud, “You look so funny right now, don’t you?” He shook my shoulder excitedly, “You said it was you, right?” I had to nod my head in acknowledgement or my head was going to spin from him shaking it!
He murmured, “No wonder you weren’t even surprised to see me at lunch today! So you already knew you would meet me.” Even though I nodded, he still didn’t quite believe it and said, “How could that be?” Only then did I say, “Actually, both Xiaoqi and Xiao Hui have kept in touch with me, so they knew I’d be back this week.” It was only then that Yichen suddenly realized, “That’s why you guys conspired to lie to me, right?” He said, “Then you purposely didn’t show up in front of the MRT station today, making me wait foolishly.” When you finally saw that I was going to leave, you pretended to meet me by coincidence, is that what happened? I nodded without denying it.
He looked a bit annoyed and rolled his eyes, saying, “Why do you make it like that? Do you think it’s funny to tease people like this?” He took the car keys and said, “I thought you said you were going back, let’s go!” I lifted up my small handbag and said, “Are you angry? I just wanted to surprise you.” I apologized, “I’m sorry if I upset you!”
I then took something out of my bag and handed it to him, “Here’s your stuff, back to you, thank you! You really did a great job, I’m touched!” He spread his hand out, only to realize that it was the USB memory he had put in my pocket at that time. He pursed his lips, took a big breath, calmed down and said, “Ugh~ I’m sorry, I’m not upset with you.” “It’s just…ugh~ I don’t know how to explain my current mood?” He said, “Never mind! It’s okay.”
I tried to shift the mood a bit and asked easily, “Doubtful ~ why would you want to send this to me?” He thought for a moment and answered me, “Well, do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?” I laughed out loud and said, “There’s a difference, isn’t there?” He matched my tone and said, “Of course it does!” I thought for a moment and said, “Then I’d like to hear the lie first.” He then said, “It’s nothing! I just wanted to give it to you as a souvenir.” When I heard that, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud and said, “That’s so fake!”
I then asked again, “Well, I want to hear the truth now.” He said, “I’m betting.” Curious, I asked, “What are you betting on?” He said with a sincere expression, “I’m betting on whether or not I can get my girlfriend back.” I felt quite shocked in my heart though! Especially when it came from Yichen’s mouth, I smiled down to hide the slight twitch in the corner of my eye.
I looked away and digressed to ask him, “Doubtful~ I heard from Kiki and Hui that you…still don’t have a girlfriend?” He said self-deprecatingly, “Well, I guess it’s not meant to be!” He said in a bittersweet way, “Anyway, I’ve come to realize that “I’m lucky to have one, but it’s my fate not to have one”.” I asked him tentatively, “When Ru Ting got engaged last time, didn’t they introduce her classmate, Yi Zhen, to you?” He said, “Well, we did go out to dinner a few times to chat, but there’s nothing between me and her, we’re just ordinary friends.” I smiled on the surface and said, “Come on, even if you guys are together, I wouldn’t care!” Suddenly a bright idea came to me ……
With a smile on my face, I pretended not to care and said, “Actually, I think Yizhen is quite good! She’s a good match for you.” Her height and you will not be a lot of difference, face, body is also very good, also young, you should take advantage of the opportunity, and according to my sixth sense of women, I can feel that she is also quite good for you look ah!
Yichen hurriedly clarified, “Don’t get me wrong, I really just treat her as a normal friend.” Then, I said something that shocked him! “I actually have a boyfriend now.” So I really do hope that you too will find your happiness soon.
He had a very surprised look on his face at first, and his breath caught a little! He asked with a blush, “Well, when did you…when did you cross paths?” I said, “Wow, right after I went back to the States, we met at work, still coworkers.” He still looked unconvinced and asked, “So…is your boyfriend good to you?” I said contentedly, “Uh-huh! He’s good to me, as good as you’ve ever been.” He asked in an agitated tone, “So…why did you go all day today without telling me first?” I helplessly explained, “It’s not like I was trying to show off to you, so why bother mentioning it to you in particular?” He was so anxious that he couldn’t even speak clearly, “Then why did you hold hands and eat with me today?” I laughed out in surprise and said, “I think you’re mistaken, aren’t you? I just treat you as a good friend who is better than a friend!” In foreign countries, even if you’re not a couple, even male and female coworkers can hold hands and have dinner anytime! Just holding hands and having a meal, this should not be considered a fling, right? He stayed for a while, not knowing what to say next?
Usually when a man learns that his ex-girlfriend has a new boyfriend, and that the new boyfriend is not worse than him, his heart should feel very bad! Plus, I told him directly that I only consider him as a good friend, which is like cutting off all his expectations. Understandably, he was unable to accept such a cruel fact and shock for a while.
I also deliberately sprinkled salt on his wounds and asked him with a smile, “Aren’t you going to wish me well? When you were at the airport earlier, didn’t you say you wished me to find my happiness soon?” He shook his head, a disappointed, forlorn look written all over his face, and said perfunctorily, “Well, Kung…jubilee you…” he said with an air of eagerness to send me away right away, “Well, didn’t you say you were going back just now? Let’s go!”
I stood by the door, not even thinking about leaving, and said knowingly, “What’s wrong with you? You don’t seem too happy?” I leaned against the door, tilting my head and crossing my arms over my chest, quietly watching his disappointment, heartbreak, sadness, disbelief, and annoyance shift across his face He took a breath, holding back his emotions and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just not quite accepting the truth right now.”
Then, I slowly said, “Yichen, uh~ I’m back.” He seemed to be the one who didn’t hear my strings, and I could hear in his tone, a little impatiently said, “I know, you said this afternoon, you came back to the meeting instead of your father.” Listening to his tone, this time it seems to have hit his sore spot, really made angry by me!
I didn’t reply, I just smiled quietly and stared at the expression on his face, he thought it was strange how I didn’t react next. He had a puzzled look on his face, and we both just stared at each other like this
At this point, I stifled a giggle and said again, “I’m~ back.” Presumably, he sniffed out that something was wrong! His expression went from puzzled, to gradually becoming very nervous and expectant! He looked straight at me in shock and said, “Wait a minute! You said… you?” He asked cautiously, “Are you telling the truth?”
I nodded and honestly said, “I’m really back.” He couldn’t control himself for a moment and came over to me and reached out his hand to hug me, saying with excitement and excitement, “I finally waited for you to come back! I finally waited for you to come back!” I shook my head, gesture with my hand blocked a bit, body also flashed away, do not intend to let him touch me, he realized that, since the excitement is too much, momentarily forget that I already have a boyfriend, face with an embarrassed expression.
He calmed down a little and asked me, “So… what about that boyfriend of yours who was relieved to have you back alone?” I nodded and said, “Well, because he’s also in Taiwan right now!” I added, “I also met with him today.” When Yichen heard that, the expression on his face was as if he was once again heartbroken and disappointed, after all, he was full of hope before, and now he’s been crushed hard by me.
After seeing him like this, I pretended to say, “But now I kind of want to break up with him.” Yichen’s face softened a little, and with a face that lit up with hope again, he asked, “What happened to you guys?” I pretended to be serious, lowered my head a bit sadly, and grumbled, “It’s because he doesn’t love me anymore, and often dates other girls behind my back when I’m not around.”
Yichen fought and said, “How could he not cherish you like this? Treat you like this?”
I added more fuel to the fire, “He also abuses me by forcing me to do my homework and to cook for him.” When Yichen heard this, he got even angrier, “He’s just too much of an asshole! Too hateful! Then he would hit you with his hands?”
I shook my head, “No, but he often verbally calls me a pig.” I look up and sneak a peek at Yichen his face is filled with a very worried, and almost pissed off look. With a look of both sadness and helplessness, he said, “Ugh~ How could you go and choose such a man as a boyfriend?”
I said, with more and more exaggeration, “He also wishes me to die in a plane crash, and today he went so far as to say that he would sell me as a sick pig.” You say he’s so hateful! Should I break up with him?
Yat-sen he was originally very sympathetic in listening, later, listening to listen to the face gradually a little puzzled expression, he only face suddenly realized, the original I said half a day of the boyfriend, in fact, is in the description of him! Look at his expression vicious, feel like want to eat me on the spot look!
I was laughing on the spot after I had pranked Yichen, and I was guffawing! The expression on his face felt as if he had taken several baths. He realized that just now I was toying with him, and he was fooled by me, he was confused by me, like a deflated balloon and asked me, “What the hell is going on now?” Yichen asked with an angry and anxious face, “So do you have a boyfriend now or not?”
I said honestly, “Yes! Didn’t I tell you just now, I really already have a boyfriend!” After hearing my answer, Yichen’s expression was like being doused with ice water from my head again, cooling down by a large margin, and I also glimpsed that even his hand, which was so tense that it was clenched into a fist just now, had loosened up.
I honestly talked to him about: “My boyfriend really is in the company to meet, and I am colleagues, but his personality before really as good as you, even if I eat with you, holding hands and so on, he will not care, he is now in Taiwan, and I have met with him today, but he will go behind my back and other girls to eat and date. “
I tilted my head, winked, and asked him with a playful grin, “Now then, would you please guess who my boyfriend is supposed to be?”
He hung his head in despair and said, “Well, what’s the guess? It’s that male manager you came back with!” I burst out laughing and said, “You’re so smart!”
But then the next second, I said, “Unfortunately, you guessed wrong!” He looked skeptical and said, “How can that be? Isn’t he the only one who came back to Taiwan with you? Is there someone else?”
I shook my head in denial and said, “Didn’t you ask me this afternoon why I was particularly happy today?” I’ll tell you why now? Because I am really back! If there are no surprises, in the short term, there shouldn’t be any more trips back to the US.
As for my current boyfriend, he’s actually very attentive and gentle with me, funny and kind and honest, very righteous and considerate, and more importantly, he’s very empathetic.
(I actually used to say the exact same thing to him over three years ago when I confessed to him in the first place.)
I also prompted, “He’s my second boyfriend.” At this point, Yat-sen began to turn from a look of despair to a look of a bit of uncertainty? He must have been wondering in his mind, “My second boyfriend should be him, right?
I looked at him and said: “In my heart, he has always been a” fool ″, because I have not been able to let go of him, so I came back, if he now does not love me, do not intend to “get back together ″, and to fulfill the “to hold hands for life” vow that he had said to me! “I think I will not blame him, after all, I once deeply hurt him once, count my life owed him, I think the day after tomorrow afternoon after the meeting, I will book a good plane ticket, far away from the countryside will not come back.
Does that make me clear enough? …………… “Idiot″!” (As I said that, for some reason, I couldn’t help but shed a tear myself…)
He stared at me speechlessly for a while, biting his trembling lips with an expression of wanting to kill me, because he finally realized that from the beginning to the end, it was actually him that I was referring to when I said boyfriend! And he himself had been misled by me all along, while getting the wrong idea, taking my male colleague as my boyfriend.
He wrapped his arms tightly around me and buried himself in my hair taking a deep breath and saying, “You little devil, I really want to strangle you right now! Why in the world did things change like this?”
I hugged his body back with both hands and snuggled into his chest quietly talking about what happened, “It’s not all because of that portable disk you put in my pocket, a while ago I used to watch it at night while shedding tears, once I was tired of crying and accidentally fell asleep on the bed, forgetting to turn off the computer, and the result just happened to be seen by my mom, who found out about your existence, and she told my dad! I thought I would be scolded by my dad! As a result, my mom and dad perversely said, in fact, they have long seen that I have been living in the past two years, not very happy, although I came, but the heart did not bring over, they also said that there is only one daughter, and I am also older, as long as I can be responsible for their own behavior, decisions, they no longer want me to stay in the United States, let go of my hands to let me decide their own happiness and the future, so I have the means to come back here again! of it.”
He stroked my long hair contentedly and whispered in my ear, “It’s good to have you back! It’s good to be back!” In a pleading tone, he said, “Please, don’t leave my life again! Do you realize? These two years or so have been really long for me! A long time! Luckily, you’ve come back now, or else I might not have been able to wait any longer, the feeling of waiting for someone is really so bitter! Without you by my side, I really can’t be happy, I almost had to give up!”
I don’t know why, he just a few simple words, but let my tears routed the dike a brain these days on his thoughts, as well as because of the separation of the aggression suffered by all catharsis I moved to say to him: “Silly Yat-Chen, this is not exactly what I’m back? I won’t leave you again!”
Really waited until the moment of reunion, he is not dare to catch the letter jokingly said to me, “You now slap me to see if I am still dreaming or not?”
I reddened my eyes and shook my head unforgivingly and said, “I have another way!” I took the initiative to put my hands on his neck, slightly padded up my toes, tilted my head sideways, shyly used my warm soft lips to meet his lips that were still slightly open due to his surprise, gently kissed him on the lips, nervously sucking with a little trembling his lips that had a rigid line He laughed out, and then, just like a traveler who had been thirsty for a long time and had found a source of water in the desert, he drew recklessly from my lips, and also looked like he was In punishing me, just now to his series of teasing ……….
I was resting on Yichen’s arm, remembering his gentle yet wild kisses just now, just like at this moment, the heavy rain and gusty winds outside the window, kissing me so hard that I almost couldn’t stand up and gasp for breath! He put his arm around me and asked, “You little devil, why did you do this to me just now?” I got a little angry at the thought and said, “Who told you to let me know that you went out to dinner with Yizhen!” I grumbled, “I could tell on the day of the engagement that she had designs on you!” I’ve only been back for four months, how many times have you had dinner? Who knows if you’re eating “fried rice”? You say you still love me, but then you go and meet up with other girls in secret! Plus, she sent you a text message just now, I think she wants to go out with you again, right? You tell me how I won’t be angry!
He laughed out loud and said, “Wow! You had a peek at my cell phone! How else would you know it was her?” I asked curiously, “Then what did she just send you?” Yichen didn’t say, he just took his cell phone and directly pressed that one SMS to me, after I read it, I picked up my handbag and said to him gamely, “Then tomorrow you’re going to go have dinner with her, soak up the soup ah! Now I’m going home!” He took my hand and wouldn’t let me leave. He said knowingly, “What’s wrong? Are you angry?” He said, “Strange! Why do I smell something sour? Like someone’s jealous?”
He went on to say, “Come on, I didn’t say back to her that I was going, you’re the only one I love in my heart, what are you jealous of?” I was still jealous and said, “So you’re not going tomorrow?” He said, “I’m not her boyfriend, she looks for me, I must go? Besides, it’s a typhoon day, why go out for a dip? I only like to soak in a mandarin duck bath with my wife, and I’m going to spend the whole day at home with her tomorrow!”
He wrapped his arms around me, kissing my ear as he said ambiguously, “Stay tonight, stay with me!” I couldn’t help but blush at the thought of what that statement entailed, and looked away, nodding lightly.
He kept staring at my face with a smile on his face. I was so uncomfortable by his look that I asked, “Pervert, why do you keep staring at me like that?” He said contentedly, “For the past two years, I’ve been wishing that it was just like it is now, that I could open my eyes and see you back.” I laughed out loud and said, “So have you seen enough now?” He shook his head and said, “Not yet, not enough to see for the rest of my life.” I was both touched and happy as I said to him, “Poverty!”
He asked, “Why did you meet at the Danshui MRT station today?” I innocently said, “Because I want us to renew our relationship from where we broke up!” He pinched my nose and said, “You’re amazing! You’ve got me beat! I almost didn’t even want to come when I heard that’s where the girls were supposed to meet!” I hugged Yichen’s body contentedly and said, “It’s good that you came today, otherwise you’d have stood me up and you’d be screwed!”
He couldn’t help but say to me, “Your body is so soft and warm!” He jokingly said, “You don’t even know, since you left, no one has warmed my blanket for the past two years, every winter, I sleep alone until I’m almost frozen to death.” I was amused out by his tone, I said, “Then you can buy an electric heater to cuddle!” He said seriously, “I’m afraid of leakage of electricity, what if I wake up in the morning and become a burnt corpse? And the TV says,” I asked curiously, “What does the TV say?” He learned the lines from the TV and said, “Ah! Natural A is good!” As soon as he said it, ah! I screamed out, he was hateful! He’s got me tightly in his arms again, I’m really going to be defeated by Yatsuhito! It’s probably because he’s this kind of personality that I never feel bored or uninterested when I’m with him!
I rested my head on his shoulder, one hand on his chest, one foot lightly straddling his body but my thigh seemed to touch something hard between his legs and I asked curiously, “What is that thing?” With an embarrassed look on his face, he said, “Uh…well…a flashlight!” I asked him, “Why did you put the flashlight under the quilt?” He argued nervously, “You know that the typhoon is coming in tomorrow, I’m afraid the power will go out at night.” Hearing his funny answer, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud! I deliberately pressed on and said, “I don’t believe it, so why don’t you take it out and take a look?” He said, with a worried look on his face, “Well…I can’t. It’s not fully charged yet, it’s not ready yet! It’s not fully charged, it’s still charging.” I laughed until I couldn’t take it anymore, and I yelled, “Lin~Yi~Chen! You’re really nasty!” He also said coldly, “Who says you can’t put a flashlight under the quilt during a typhoon? I’m just really afraid of a power outage!” I couldn’t stand it and punched him lightly, causing me to laugh until my stomach almost hurt again!
A moment later, with a serious expression, she asked, “Yichen, then why did you go there for the Lantern Festival this year?” I lied to her and said, “I don’t know, just haven’t been there for a long time, and suddenly I really want to go.” With careful eyes, she observed me and said, “Really? Is it really just because of that?” I pretended, “Yeah! How else do you think it was?” She laughed nervously, like she was hiding something and said, “No! No!” Concerned, I asked her, “What’s wrong?” She pretended to be fine, shook her head and said, “Nothing! What’s wrong then!”
She then turned her head and asked, “Yichen, what do you think made it possible for us to be together again?” I pinched her little nose sideways and said, “Silly, of course it’s “fate”!” Satisfied with my answer, she gave me a kiss as my reward, and I said, a bit unimpressed, “Only one?” She pouted and tapped my lips with her index finger, “You’re greedy!” Before she could finish her sentence, a hot and wet touch had already struck her lips, and other than a gasp, no more sound could come out of her little mouth, which was both cute and hateful at the same time. After a gasp and a moan, I stopped and teased her, “So what are you doing now?”
She blushed, and lightly hit me again and said, “You’re so annoying!” She first couldn’t help herself from laughing out loud, then, learning from my earlier tone, she said seriously, “As you know, a typhoon is coming, and I’m a girl, so of course I’m afraid of the dark.” “I always have to check, this flashlight hasn’t been used for more than two years, has it gone bad? Is it still usable?”
I burst out laughing and said, “I can’t stand you! Turns out you’re even nastier than I am.” She laughed and explained, “I said that to match you! Don’t you dare laugh at me, Ignore you!” I hurriedly coaxed her, “Good! Good! Good! It’s my fault! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have made fun of you.” Ashamed and angry, she turned away and said, “It’s too late! You can go hug your heater tonight! Hmph!”
I rolled over and wrapped her in my arms again and said, “Cassie? Are you angry?” She looked a little angry and said, “I don’t want to talk to you, laughing at me!” I asked, “Have you ever heard a love story about a sky lantern?” She seemed a bit interested and shook her head, “No!” I asked her, “Then do you want to hear it?” She asked first, “Is it a true story? Or is it a fictional story? If it’s fictional, I don’t want to hear it.” I said, “It’s a story that really happened!” She said, “Fine! Tell it then.”
I said, “This is a very touching story, wait a minute, you will be touched to the point of dropping eye marks full of I” She said a bit disbelieving, “You are the most good at lying, I don’t believe it!” I said, “Well, what if you cry later?” She said confidently: “Well, then I’m a little piggy” I said jokingly: “Come on, you’re so big, how can you still be called a little piggy, it should be called a big sow” She turned her back to me, denied to me spit out her tongue, made a funny face!
I just started talking, “This is a true story that happened over two years ago, there was a couple that was very much in love with each other, this couple, a man and a woman.” Gyasi laughed out and said, “Isn’t that nonsense? Aren’t all normal couples a man and a woman?” I argued, “That’s not necessarily true. Nowadays, it’s also popular to have a T and a G in homosexuality!” She said, “Okay! All right! Then what?”
I said, “That girl had made a promise with that boy to take her with her to see the sky lanterns the next time there was a lantern release, but not long after that boy and that girl had made the promise, that girl chose to break up and leave.”
At this time, Jia Xi seemed to have already realized that things, seemed to be a bit off? She couldn’t help but turn around and face her face towards me, and the expression on her face, from her original carelessness, gradually became serious.
I continued, “Then, after that girl left, she disappeared for more than two whole years, however, that girl never knew one thing.” With a cautious expression, Cassie asked, “And what was it that she… didn’t know?” I said, “Not long after the girl left that Lantern Festival, the boy was in the very train station, quietly looking forward to her appearance, until the sky darkened, the travelers also left the fast light, until the train station in the hands of the big clock pointed to twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, the Lantern Festival have passed, and the girl has never appeared, and finally he left in disappointment, he comforted himself that perhaps the girl had something to do and could not come.”
In front of her eyes, Cassie, eyes wide open, can not believe what she now heard with her own ears, she heard out that it was describing the story between me and her, her eyes have begun to be moved to the point of holding tears in the eyes of the infatuation to look at me ……….
“Soon the year passed, to the second Lantern Festival, the boy appeared at the Pingxi Railway Station on time again, he was full of confidence that this year the girl would surely appear, although that day was cold again, and it was raining furtively, but he waited all the same until after twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, and the Lantern Festival of this year passed again, however, the girl did not appear in the end, and in the end he was again disappointed and left, thinking, “After two consecutive years of missing appointments, perhaps the girl had already been with another boy and had forgotten that they had had such an appointment?”
Hearing this, Cassie could no longer hold back, covered her mouth with one hand, and shed two lines of hot, clear tears, red-eyed, shaking her head in disbelief, and softly reciting with her mouth, “How could it be like this?”
I stroked her long hair painfully, comforted her and said, “Time passed another year, came to the third Lantern Festival, originally the boy was going to give up this appointment, but finally he still appeared in the very train station, but he told himself that this will be the last time in his life to wait for the girl, if this time again can not meet the girl, perhaps it is really destined by heaven they are not destined, he will be willing to die heart slowly to fade away this girl who once loved deeply. have no destiny, he will be willing to die, slowly go to fade away this once deeply loved girl.”
“Maybe the sincerity of the boy was really heard by heaven, after two years, the girl who disappeared for more than two years finally appeared on the day of this year’s Lantern Festival, and the boy was lucky enough to meet the girl in the sea of more than 50,000 people, and recognized her, and the boy was very happy to see the beautiful sky lanterns with the girl, and also released the sky lanterns with their blessings. The boy was happy to see the beautiful lanterns with the girl and release the lanterns with their blessings written on them, and finally he fulfilled the promise he had made to the girl.”
At this point, Jia Xi couldn’t hold back any longer and jumped into my arms, sobbing out, “Yat Chen, I’m sorry! I really didn’t know! How things could be like this! I’m sorry!” She was touched and said, “How could you be so stupid? But it’s good that you came that day.” Her eyes were a little misty, “Actually, I also told myself that if I hadn’t met you that day, I would have been willing to give up on this relationship… Luckily, you came!”
I said to her, “Promise me you won’t capriciously sneak away from me again.” She sniffled, shook her head and said firmly, “I won’t! Unless in this life you let go of my hand first and don’t want me.” I teased her and said, “It’s not a hand, is it? It should be hooves now! Big sows!” She laughed out loud, and without admitting it, elbowed me and said, “You’re a pain in the ass!” Then she looked at me seriously and said, “Yichen, in the future, don’t make me regret my decision to come back to Taiwan today!” I was touched and hugged her, nodded and said firmly, “I won’t let you have a chance to regret it.” She reddened her nose, sniffled a little and asked me, “By the way, if you were the one who lost the bet this time, what would you do?” I pretended not to care and said, “Then I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.” Then she asked again with a somewhat happy expression, “So how do you feel now that you’ve won the bet?” I said, “Well, I feel like a lifetime of regret now!” She pouted and hit me lightly, saying, “Go to hell, you! Ignore you!”
Then, without knowing what came to her mind, she suddenly broke into tears and kept laughing? Concerned, I asked her, “What’s wrong with you now? Did you…have a seizure? Did you forget to take your medicine today?” After hearing me say that, she laughed even louder! Covering her mouth and shaking her head vigorously, she laughed until tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Then, suddenly and without warning, she did! Crying and laughing, she cupped my cheeks with both hands and took the initiative to give me a very deep and long kiss, and I tasted her salty tears, and before ending the kiss, she mischievously nibbled on my lower lip! I was really confused, what was going on in Cassie’s head? (I thought to myself, “No way! Does she really have a history of epilepsy?)
Next, to my even greater surprise, she lifted the covers and ran out of bed, in front of the computer in the room, enduring the trembling of the body, hurriedly pressing the mouse I do not know what is busy? Not long after, she rushed back to bed and hugged the quilt tightly covering her body!
I asked her nervously, “What the hell are you doing right now?” She hid under the quilt, pulled it up, turned her back to me, and shook her head in a gesture that didn’t answer me, so what was wrong with her? I was curious and got out of bed, wanting to see what she was doing on the computer. When I saw clearly what was displayed on the computer screen, I was so surprised that my mouth was wide open! A moment later, with a look of anger and amusement on my face, I lifted up the entire quilt and dragged her out.
I was so angry that I could hardly speak, pointing at her, “Yin Jiaxi, you! You ……” She, on the other hand, was covering her face with her hands, not daring to look at me, and laughing her ass off! She also teased and said, “Hehe…Lin Yichen, is a big idiot, the world’s number one big idiot!”
I yelled out, “Yoon Kassie, you’re dead tonight you!” She laughed while asking fearfully, “What…what…do you…want now?” I took off my top voluntarily and said with a bad expression, “Hey! Hey! Hey! What do I want?” Embarrassed, she whispers, “But, Yichen, I…I…I haven’t had that in a long time.” I also said honestly, “Ever since you left, so have I. But it’s okay, the experts say that this kind of thing is like riding a bicycle, once you learn it, you’ll never forget it for the rest of your life, so ……”
She deliberately teased me by saying, “So I know, now you’re dying to ride a bike, right? You’d better go!” I was furious and said, “Ride your ass! Why do you want to go out for a bike ride on a typhoon day? You’ve ruined the atmosphere.” I reached out to her with an unkind hand and she laughed and screamed, “I’m sorry! I was wrong! …… Help! It tickles …… I don’t dare anymore…don’t! …don’t…don’t “stop”!” I screamed, “Help! I can’t stand it! I can’t stand it! I’ve decided to break up with you!” Then, she sat on top of me, undid the white bow at the back of her neck, tossed her hair sexily, and leaned down to whisper in my ear, saying in a shy, ambiguous tone, “No. It’s too late! It’s too late! If you live through tonight and don’t run out of sperm and get squeezed to the last drop!”
From a burst of laughing and joking, gradually turned into a silent murmur and in a corner of the room, the computer screen is still on, the screen is flashing a line of text that has just been deliberately “someone” with a mouse to reverse the white text.
“Tatsu: I still have a lot of things to tell you, but I don’t know where to start. “Remember to go to bed early, don’t work overtime too late, and take good care of your body. You’re really nice, and I don’t know how to face the future without you. “I don’t know how to face the unknown future without you. “I was naive enough to think that we would go on like this naturally, but I was wrong! “Sometimes, I feel that fate can really play tricks on people, especially lovers. Indeed, I never thought that our relationship would end up in such a hasty manner. Please forget about it! I wish you could find a woman who loves you more than me. “I hope you can find a woman who loves you more than I do. I must cherish that lucky woman. Mom is already urging me to go, and the sky is turning white, so it’s time to leave!
“How can I let you know how unhappy and helpless I feel at this time? “If there is an afterlife, I hope that I can really be with you, “holding hands with my son”. “There” when a person quietly think of all this, but also a little reluctant! “Karma” for both of us is really very unfair, “two” people truly love each other, but can not be carried together to the final beauty …… “year “Light and you this wonderful memories, I will treasure in my heart, “after” regret, I think it will probably be a number of years after my mood portrayal! It is impossible to “see” you, a thousand words, “I’m sorry for you!”
I’ve loved your cee pen.
