Chapter 11: The most beautiful scenery
After the prince and Han Feng left, I pressed my hands weakly on my forehead. I was tired of this conflict of values, especially with my brothers!
Living in this bizarre world, people have never been unified, so there are so many fights and killings. People are biting each other for what they pursue. I am powerless to change anything. I used to look forward to the recognition of others. In the erosion of time, I understand that the world is our own, has nothing to do with others, and the most gorgeous scenery in life, but the calmness and calmness in my heart. Even if others don’t understand, I can only choose to keep myself alone. I can never agree with the behavior of linking public welfare and business.
It’s already evening in the busy time, and I’m about to welcome another night soon. I hope this night will give me some moonlight and stop raining again!
Close the notebook, I closed my eyes and gently rubbed my temples to relieve my fatigue.
Opening my eyes, looking at the bright and grand office, somehow, I smiled when I thought about the years when I set up a street stall. Although I was a little poor at that time, after closing the stall, a roasted sweet potato and a cigarette would make me feel comfortable. Happiness was so simple to me.
When people are helpless, they always miss the days they have been nostalgic for. I decided to go to the riverside of the ancient bridge to have a breath of wind, and I will be quieter.
.........
I drove to the ancient bridge. It has been two years since I was gone, nothing has changed. The water is still flowing so comfortably, the wind is blowing gently, and the heaven is pitying me and giving me the long-lost moonlight.
The Taoist priest did not set up a stall today. In fact, when I returned to Nantong, I invited him to take charge of cleaning work in our company. It was very easy and just arrange the work of cleaning staff. However, he refused very firmly. He vowed to do fortune-telling as his lifelong career to run. However, his frequency of setting up a stall has been getting lower and lower recently!
I still maintained my old habit, took out all the change I had on my body, and put the scattered money from the bridge to the end of the bridge. They either looked at me numbly or said thank you. Everything was the same as before. On this ancient bridge, I never seemed to have to bear the pain of the changes of time.
......
I lay on the guardrail of the ancient bridge, overlooking the flowing water, and my mood was finally settled, as if I had entered a state of selflessness. I enjoyed this feeling very much.
A voice of thanks came from a vague distance: "Thank you, Miss, you are such a good person!"
My heart was suddenly touched... It seemed that there was an electric current in my body was wandering!... I turned around!
She was wearing a white long dress without makeup, just like a fairy who fell from the mortal world. She has always been like this and so uninhabitable!
My legs lost the motivation to walk and stared at her...
The beggar around me spoke in an obscure dialect and said to me: "This girl is a great charity, she will come once a few days!"
I nodded mechanically... I vaguely understood in my heart why I am so reluctant to link charity with business, because this is the last beautiful scenery in my heart!
Mo Han held a stack of ten yuan bills in his hand, put the coins one by one in sequence in the beggars' bowls, and would chat with them like before... Finally, she approached me little by little... My heart was surging!
She approached me infinitely, and when she stood up again, she finally found me. We looked at each other... Perhaps it was the arrangement of fate, but there were still fireworks not far away, which made our unexpected encounter beautiful.
In the autumn wind, her hair fluttered, and she gently pinned the hair that covered her eyes behind her ears. Her every frown and move touched my heart so much.
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
A simple opening remark contains so many sighs that only those who have experienced it understand.
She stared at me for a long time, but there was no change in expression. She just nodded: "Yes" just like her usual indifference.
Looking at her familiar and unfamiliar appearance, she couldn't say too many jokes in her heart, and just asked, "Do you often come here?"
Mo Han nodded: "Will soon."
After a long silence, I said to her: "Can we have a meal together? We haven't seen each other for more than two years?"
Mo Han didn't say much, but just handed me a stack of change in his hand: "Help me give it to them."
I nodded and took the change from Mo Han. I knew that Mo Han had agreed to my request for dinner together.
......
We found a restaurant nearby. I suppressed my inner turmoil and told myself over and over again: This is just a dinner when I met an old friend, and I should be calm.
Mo Han sat quietly, but I unconsciously changed several sitting positions, but both sides remained silent in a tacit understanding.
After a while, the food was served. I poured Mo Han half a glass of red wine, but I just drank the juice.
Mo Han, who had been indifferent, finally asked unexpectedly: "Don't you drink some wine?"
"I've quit for more than a year." I said with a smile.
Mo Han nodded, said nothing more, shook his goblet, and then smeared a sip of red wine.
"How have you been doing these years?...I once heard Tian Tian say that you are already married!"
Mo Han looked at me for a long time and just said lightly: "I am single now."
Although I vaguely thought that she had divorced, I was still shocked when I said it from her. However, she was so calm, as if she had never had a marriage in her. I suddenly felt that she was even colder than before!
.........
When the dinner was about to end, she finally asked me for the first time: "What about you, how have you been doing these years?"
I was a little disappointed and sad... and said to her for a long time: "...I'm already married and have a son... but I didn't have a child with my current wife."
Mo Han's expression finally changed, but he returned to nature in a flash, and said lightly: "Are you married? Congratulations!"
"Thanks."
We soon finished our dinner. We stood shoulder to shoulder outside the restaurant door, and the wind was still teasing us with fallen leaves.
"The moonlight is good tonight." I looked at the sky and sighed.
Mo Han followed me into the sky, but said nothing.
I looked at the bright moon and smiled, saying, "Do you know? You have always been like the fairy who lives on the moon... lonely, solemn, indifferent, mysterious... Although you are so inaccessible, there are moths that are fearless in life and death and pounce on this cold fire..."
Mo Han turned around and looked at me, but I couldn't see through her emotions.
"You don't have to be burdened, I'm talking about the past..." I added, and asked again, "Where do you live, I'll give you it."
"No need, I'll take a taxi by myself."
I didn't force Mo Han, and asked the moment she was about to leave, "Do we still have a chance to meet?"
"Depending on fate...goodbye, Zhang Yixi."
I just waved to Mo Han and watched her leave quietly. As she said, whether we can meet again depends on fate! Although I know that the day of meeting again may be far away.
