Chapter 64 Reply
"What do you like about Chi Jinjin? You two both have such boring personalities. Aren't you afraid of being bored to death if you are together in the future?" Song Ci couldn't understand.
Nan Xuqiu couldn't help but think about his future life.
How will they live in the future?
Maybe, it was just like the time Chi Jinjin stayed in her own home.
She is reading a book on the left side of the sofa.
He was reading a book on the right side of the sofa.
Snow was falling outside the window, and the kettle in the kitchen was gurgling, emitting bursts of white steam...
Nan Xuqiu didn't think about whether he would feel bored living like this in the future. He just thought that it seemed not bad and he would be very happy.
Because as long as he turns his head, he can see Chi Jinjin.
Song Ci saw the irresistible smile on Nan Xuqiu's face, and knew his answer even without him answering.
But to be honest, he had seen Nan Xuqiu smile before, but for some reason, he always felt that the smile on his face now was very different from usual.
Only Ji Yang could see that Nan Xuqiu was truly happy. Unlike before, when his smile was always reserved, this time it reached his eyes.
However, this was not the first time Ji Yang had seen this kind of smile. He had long discovered that whenever it came to something related to Chi Jinjin, he would always have this kind of smile on his face.
This was a smile he had never given to Lin Shuya before.
"I'm glad to see that you've finally let go of Lin Shuya and are starting over from your broken heart." Song Ci said, "Chi Jinjin is really good. Aside from being a bit dull, she's good in every other way. She's no worse than that Lin Shuya."
Nan Xu Qiuxu smiled, raised his head and took a sip of wine.
The Spring Festival is coming soon.
Chi Jinjin's house is still as lively as before, but Nan Xuqiu's house also has a festive atmosphere.
Zhang Xianmei sent him a lot of homemade bacon and sausages.
It brought a bit of worldly air to his cold home.
Nan Xuqiu was eating sausages and watching the fireworks outside.
The days were still long, and he waited quietly for a reply letter.
Chi Jinjin, another year has passed. May every year of this year be filled with joy and peace.
Nan Xuqiu thought quietly in his heart.
Chi Jinjin was watching TV on the sofa with her elders, and her eyes fell on the red scarf around her aunt's neck.
Looking at the bright red scarf, she suddenly remembered the one she had knitted before.
The Spring Festival passed quickly and it was March in a flash.
Chi Jinjin also had to report to work. When she was packing her luggage and sorting her winter clothes, she looked at her scarf and remembered that scarf again.
So she took the box out from under the bed. Dust had accumulated on the box for five or six years, and the lock was covered with rust.
She reached out to open the box, but her hand stopped in mid-air, as if it were poisonous and she was hesitant to do anything.
After hesitating for a long time, wavering for a long time, and remaining silent for a long time, Chi Jinjin finally slowly opened the lock and opened the box.
Looking at the things inside, they were all old, but the memories of them flooded into her mind anew.
Each piece is so clear.
The boy's eyes, the boy's smile, the boy's voice, and the heartbeats that he caused time and time again were all unlocked one by one as the box was opened.
The dusty memories seemed to bring her back to that sunny March.
She still remembers the rape flowers outside the car window and the scent of cherry blossoms in the air.
Chi Jinjin picked up the yellowed diary at the bottom of the box and slowly opened it.
There is a secret hidden here.
The coward in the dark corner fell in love with the bright and holy God.
But when she looked at it, she found that there were a few more lines of words at the bottom of each page.
Page one.
——The first month after leaving the country, when I saw chopped green onions, I suddenly remembered the girl who wanted to be a lawyer.
Page 2
——In the second month after leaving the country, I saw a very good poem and wanted to share it with Chi Jinjin immediately, but I found that I had blocked him.
Page 3
——In the third month after leaving the country, I accidentally got a good book and wanted to give it to Chi Jinjin. She will definitely understand this book.
Page 4
——In the seventh month since I left the country, the cherry blossoms have bloomed, and I suddenly remembered the girl who got lost in camouflage uniform.
Page 5
——In the nineteenth month since I left the country, I found that I seemed to miss Chi Jinjin more and more.
…
Chi Jinjin flipped through the pages slowly. At the bottom of each page, Nan Xuqiu had written down some of his experiences abroad.
It turned out that in the past five years, the person he missed the longest was not her, but Nan Xuqiu.
Her longing for Nan Xuqiu gradually faded away with the passage of time, while her longing for him gradually faded away with the passage of time.
On the last page of his diary, he wrote:
Jinjin, I'm sorry that I opened this box without your consent.
But I was also very glad that I opened the box.
Because this made me see your past love, the secret that I once despised.
I used to think that liking someone was just that.
I don’t even understand why some people would risk their lives for this kind of emotion. I think they are not rational enough, so they are swayed by it.
It was not until I experienced missing someone to the point of losing my appetite, to the point of it being too deep to bear, to the point of being unable to control my reason, that I realized how self-righteous I was back then.
There are two things I regret most in my life. One of them is that I agreed to Lin Shuya’s confession when I was in junior high school.
I made an inappropriate decision at an inappropriate age, frivolously thinking I had a thorough understanding of love and could completely control my emotions. I treated them carelessly and perfunctorily, only to discover how wrong I was in the end...
Can you give me another chance?
Chi Jinjin looked at his words and her fingertips couldn't help but tremble.
She closed the diary and was silent for a long time again.
Thinking about what Nan Xuqiu had done for her over the past few months, her heart had actually been in turmoil for a long time.
But she was afraid...
Finally, Chi Jinjin picked up the phone next to her and dialed Nan Xuqiu's number with trembling hands.
"Hello? Jinjin?"
Nan Xuqiu's voice came from the phone.
Chi Jinjin opened her mouth, stammered for a long time, tried hard to suppress her trembling voice, and asked, "Nan Xuqiu, the cherry blossoms at A High School seem to be blooming. Do you... do you want to go with me to see them? Tomorrow..."
"Okay." Nan Xuqiu agreed without any hesitation.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
Chi Jinjin hung up the phone and looked out the window. The branches with new buds swayed gently in the wind.
Nan Xuqiu got up from the sofa, picked up the coat next to him, and walked out.
"Lao Nan, where are you going?" Song Ci took off his headphones and asked in confusion.
Nan Xuqiu said, "Let's go to City A."
"Why did you suddenly think of going to City A?" Song Ci asked.
But all he got in response was the open door.
Nan Xuqiu hurried downstairs, went to the underground garage, got in the car, and then drove straight to City A.
The next day, Chi Jinjin also got on the bus to City A.
There are still fields of rapeseed flowers outside the window, and everything seems to have returned to five years ago.
The difference is that five years ago, she went to see a school, but now she goes alone.
A person who had haunted her dreams countless times.
At that time, she had never thought that one day she would like someone so much.
Even if it hurts and I get hurt, I still repeat the same mistakes again and again.
In the evening, Chi Jinjin finally arrived in City A and walked into the school he had been away from for a long time.
The school has undergone many changes and many new buildings have appeared.
It's vacation time now and the campus is very quiet.
But noisy sounds gradually appeared in Chi Jinjin's ears, unfamiliar buildings disappeared one by one, and familiar scenes appeared one by one.
And she seemed to be wearing the blue and white school uniform with the words "A City No. 1 High School" embroidered on the front, standing among the crowd coming and going.
She walked slowly, stepping on the path bathed in the sunset, walked into the familiar vine-draped stone pavilion, and came to the exit. The boy in her memory appeared in her sight again.
He was still under the tree, still enjoying the breeze and bright moon.
Chi Jinjin came to him step by step.
Nan Xuqiu said, "You're here."
"Yeah." Chi Jinjin nodded, looked up and looked around, and said, "The cherry blossoms here seem to be more beautiful than before."
"Yes." Nan Xuqiu said to Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin slowly looked at him again.
Only then did Nan Xuqiu look up at the cherry blossoms.
"Nan Xuqiu." Chi Jinjin bit her lip, mustered up her courage again, and asked, "Do you still want to be with me?"
Nan Xuqiu was startled and looked at her.
Chi Jinjin said, "I think, maybe, if you're willing, we can give it a try."
Why just give it a try?
Nan Xuqiu wanted to ask, but the person in front of him had his hands hanging by his side, and his hands were shaking slightly.
He could see that she was trying hard to appear calm, but that deliberately direct gaze completely betrayed her.
For a moment, he seemed to see Chi Jinjin confessing her love to him that winter day.
That time, she mustered up a lot of courage and did the most extraordinary thing for her.
And this time, she mustered up great courage to make such a risky decision for her.
She looked at him with caution and timidity in her eyes, like a rabbit. As long as he showed the slightest impatience, her eyes would turn red and she would immediately run back to the forest.
Nan Xuqiu took a step forward, hugged Chi Jinjin in his arms with one hand, and stroked her head with the other hand.
"Then let's try it." Nan Xuqiu said, lowering his head and kissing her hair.
He stroked her hair so gently that her uneasy heart gradually calmed down and she stayed quietly in his arms.
The cherry blossoms drifted from the branches and fell on them one by one.
There were two shadows hugging each other on the grass, stretched out by the setting sun.
After a while, Nan Xuqiu suggested, "Since we've finally come to school, why don't we go somewhere else?"
Chi Jinjin looked up and nodded. She had the same idea, but was too embarrassed to bring it up.
"Let's go." Nan Xuqiu took her hand.
This time, Chi Jinjin did not struggle and let him hold her obediently.
Nan Xuqiu lowered his eyes and looked at it, feeling very happy.
He held her hand. Chi Jinjin's hands were really small, and he could hold two of them with one palm.
Once you hold me, you never want to let go.
He pulled her and slowly walked onto the unfamiliar path
They walked to the basketball court together, went to the library together, went to the classroom where they had taken classes before, and visited the utility room together.
Everything is still vivid in my mind, but unfortunately many things have changed.
There are new people here to write new stories.
Finally they came to the rooftop of the library. This was probably the only place that had not changed, and the wind was still as refreshing as before.
"Actually, there is a secret here too." Chi Jinjin suddenly said to Nan Xuqiu.
Nan Xuqiu looked at her and asked curiously, "What secret?"
Chi Jinjin pulled him to a dark corner. She squatted down and took a look. She said, "It's still there."
"What's still there?" Nan Xuqiu also squatted down and looked carefully in the direction she was looking, only to find that there was a line of words engraved on the wall - Chi Jinjin likes Nan Xuqiu.
That was the first snow they spent together that year. She wanted to tell him something, but unfortunately she didn't have time to say it.
Five years have passed, and even time cannot completely erase this sentence. It can be seen how much effort Chi Jinjin put into writing this sentence.
Her love, just like this sentence, is hidden in a dark corner, no one knows about it, but it is extremely grand.
Chi Jinjin is a coward, but her love is not.
Nan Xuqiu looked at the ground, picked up a stone and crossed out the sentence.
Chi Jinjin felt disappointed.
But she also saw that above that sentence, he wrote:
Nan Xuqiu likes Chi Jinjin.
Every stroke was executed extremely cleanly and neatly, with considerable force, and written in large letters.
Chi Jinjin looked at the words on the wall, looked at his shadow, the shadow they were leaning against, and a smile appeared on his face...
After visiting the school, it was already very late.
"Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go eat the noodles we had before and see if they're still there."
"Okay." Chi Jinjin nodded.
The two drove there.
Fortunately, the store is still there and the proprietress is still the same proprietress.
Chi Jinjin asked the proprietress to not put chopped green onions in one bowl and not put chili peppers in the other bowl.
But the proprietress only remembered not to put chopped green onions in Nan Xuqiu's dish, but forgot not to put chili peppers in Chi Jinjin's dish.
After the dish was served, the proprietress went to do other things, and Chi Jinjin couldn't find a suitable opportunity to change for another bowl.
Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll help you choose."
He picked up the chili peppers from Chi Jinjin's bowl and put them into his own bowl bit by bit, then pushed it back in front of her.
"Thank you." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu smiled and said, "Eat."
Chi Jinjin lowered her head and started eating the noodles, and Nan Xuqiu also started eating.
The proprietress turned around and looked at them.
"What are you looking at?" the proprietress's husband asked curiously.
The proprietress said, "Why do I feel like I've seen this scene before somewhere?"
"Let's go, it's time to work." The boss smiled helplessly, put his arm around the boss's wife's shoulders, and continued to work.
Chi Jinjin ate noodles while looking up at him. The man in front of her seemed to be the Nan Xuqiu from five years ago, the Nan Xuqiu that she secretly liked.
Nan Xuqiu also looked at Chi Jinjin, she was still the same Chi Jinjin.
The green mountains are slightly inferior to the eyebrows and eyes, and the setting sun darkens the tip of the nose.
The scattered fragments of time piece together the panorama of the past, constituting her and his common memories. The years are no longer us, but the memories are still our memories.
