Retrieve memories, once the relationship is broken, reveal the past and a hundred feelings arise
Liu Che's nervousness made the surging sweetness break through the last resistance, and Xue Jiuyue said lightly, "Before I asked you if I had 'delusion'..."
"You said you saw some images, like a dream but awake, like memories but unable to remember them. It was like you were in college, with morning jogs, study sessions, games, conversations... all scattered and fragmented. Is that it?"
Liu Che almost repeated Xue Jiuyue's exact words.
"That's it. The first time I saw the image of college, it was in a trance when I was looking at leaves and photos. After that, various images of him and me appeared from time to time. That time when you accompanied me to a concert, I suddenly dozed off and dreamed that I met him for the first time. I was crying, and he was trying to comfort me. He said his name was Ye Yi! Because in some images, people called him Little Leaf, so I always thought it was this Ye Yi who wanted to send me a letter. It wasn't until I saw the magazine cover that I realized it was Jiu Ye who was going to send me the letter. I don't know if these two people are the same..."
Xue Jiuyue was a little nervous, afraid that Liu Che would blame her for keeping it a secret, so she didn't dare to look up while she was telling the story.
"Ye Yi?!" Liu Che's voice trembled a little, perhaps because his throat was a little dry.
"Ahem..." He cleared his throat a few times, took a sip of coffee, and then continued, "You thought of Ye Yi because of the leaf, so you thought it was Ye Yi who sent you the leaf. Now that you've discovered the photo was from Jiu Ye, you're guessing Jiu Ye and Ye Yi are the same person, and that the two lost memories have intersected. Is that right?"
"Also, and..." Xue Jiuyue, like a child who had made a mistake, truthfully explained more details. "In the picture, Ye Yi brought me croissants every day, and the croissants tasted like Gynostemma pentaphyllum. On Chinese Valentine's Day, I rested my head on the pillow you gave me, and the smell of Gynostemma pentaphyllum made me dream about them both."
Liu Che habitually smoothed his hair before comforting her, "Even if they are the same person, the Jiu Ye in your dream didn't hurt you, so it shouldn't be the source of your nightmare. You don't have to worry."
"There's someone who sends me letters every day, but I can't remember who he is. According to my previous inference, I chose to forget because I was hurt. Then why did I forget Ye Yi? The scenes that appeared before were very normal except for a few quarrels. But the two quarrels were also because he wanted to, wanted to..." Xue Jiuyue was embarrassed to say it out loud, "I don't agree. Will he forcibly hurt me because of this later?"
Even though she had tried to persuade him a lot last night, this reason that was spoken out in one breath was the biggest weight.
"Is there a possibility?" Liu Che became nervous. "Didn't you always feel that Jiu Ye wouldn't hurt you?"
Xue Jiuyue was also a little unsure, "How about trying hypnosis again?"
"Okay, okay!"
"Xiao Ming, are you nervous?"
Liu Che raised his hand and gently stroked his forehead, slowly explaining, "Before, hypnosis allowed you to search for forgotten dreams. In any case, the dreams were packaged and not too sharp. But this time, I'm searching directly for the memory itself, and I'm afraid..."
"It's okay! You've been treating me for so long, I won't be as weak as before!" Xue Jiuyue said firmly, and even mustered up the courage to take Liu Che's hand. A slight warmth and numbness made her feel more at ease. "You are by my side, I believe in you!"
"Then let's try. You must remember that this is a dream! If you feel uncomfortable, try to wake yourself up!" Liu Che felt Xue Jiuyue's jade hand and gently held it in his palm. "If I feel that you are emotional, I will wake you up too."
"Okay!" Xue Jiuyue was also a little nervous, and her fingers couldn't help but add a little strength.
"Then let's begin..."
The warmth from Liu Che's palm was like a beam of light, shining in the dreamlike memories.
Then, the dark night sky was graced with a brilliant moon; the thick fog lifted, revealing a clear blue sky. No longer were there questions about where this came from, no longer was there any confusion about why. The once scattered, fragmented images finally twisted into a coherent logic, weaving through the deep mountains and valleys of memory. The continuous narration clarified the original golden breeze and jade dew, vividly capturing the springtime scenery along the way. I was moved by the moments of mutual understanding, yet pained by the unhappy ending.
All the past events replayed themselves, overlapping, and finally accumulated before his eyes. Before he could open his heavy eyelids, Liu Che's gentle voice broke in, "Are you awake?"
"You're early!"
Liu Che admitted awkwardly, "A little nervous. How is it?"
"Ye Yi might be Jiu Ye."
"What's the obvious connection?"
"Not really. He said something to me that I'd dreamt of before, but I thought it was just a dream. He said his name was Ye Yi and mine was Xiao Shi. He said there are thirteen people who live and thirteen people who die, and that there are thirteen people in the cycle of life and death. I'm the ten, and he's the one, the one that's neither born nor dead. Between him and me are nine layers of suffering, like a long night."
"Oh? Interesting..." Liu Che seemed to sense something but hadn't grasped it yet.
"It's nothing interesting and has nothing to do with nightmares." Xue Jiuyue blushed and sounded somewhat disappointed.
"It's okay? Then why did you forget? Can you tell me?"
"These are all scenes I've had before, now connected together. I probably forgot because it ended in tragedy. Oh, it has nothing to do with you..." Xue Jiuyue's face flushed even more red with embarrassment. The memories she had recovered were different from the previous ones, and she hadn't figured out how to describe them yet.
Because all the details showed that the barrier between Ye Yi and Xue Jiyue was that Xue Jiyue could not have physical contact with others, and that he met Ye Yi after Xue Jiyue had a nightmare. This relieved Xue Jiyue's worries.
But unlike the love in the dream, this time it was a past event in real life, so Xue Jiuyue was too embarrassed to talk about it and could only act like a spoiled child and not tell Liu Che.
"It has nothing to do with me?" Liu Che repeated.
"Well, the old things are all in the past. They have nothing to do with nightmares. Are you interested in listening?"
Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that has nothing to do with me."
"Xiao Ming?" Xue Jiuyue was still a little worried.
"Um?"
"Are you interested in the old ramblings?"
"It doesn't matter whether I'm interested or not..." Liu Che said with a relaxed smile, "Every inch of time is a continuation of the previous inch, and each inch is also the beginning of the next inch. Each inch is independent of the present. The absence of cause and condition is the cause and condition of the present."
Qixi's words still sounded romantic at this moment. Xue Jiuyue blushed, "Isn't this about past lives?"
"It's also about the last moment!"
Liu Che's words made Xue Jiyue feel relieved, but she still chose not to confess in person. However, this did not stop her from speaking to "Spit Star". If he was really him, perhaps a different way of talking would make Xue Jiyue more receptive.
"Today I asked the doctor to hypnotize me, and I saw the complete picture..." Xue Jiuyue recalled the mental journey that was buried deep in her heart and could only be seen through hypnosis.
The scene begins on a tearful moonlit night. The moonlight shimmers, the stars glitter and dazzle. Under the watery light, Ye Yi uses a Buddhist story to transform Xue Jiyue's tears into a dreamlike beginning.
So began the morning jog, the study sessions, the games, the movies... The little moments of life were like the morning mist, like the hazy moonlight. Happiness and sweetness were embedded in every detail of daily life, every caring word, every breath, every heartbeat, and everything felt like a scene from before.
But after the clouds cleared, we did indeed sweat profusely on the court together, but without the kneeling-on-one-knee confessions in full view of the crowd; I did indeed accompany him to games in full swing, but without the drones painting the night sky in full view of the public. I can't tell whether the clear "I love you" during my morning run is genuine or not, but I vaguely remember the Gynostemma pentaphyllum in my breakfast croissant, and it was real. But none of these truths or falsehoods can change the touch of happiness and sweetness etched in my heart.
Time is passing quickly with Ye Yi's diligence. Every minute and every second is spent striving for the goal, but it seems that time is just moving forward for the sake of moving forward and flowing for the sake of flowing.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yi was about to go to the United States for further studies. To reassure him, Xue Jiuyue lied and told him that she had recovered and could sleep peacefully! To prove it, Xue Jiuyue took his hand. What Ye Yi didn't know was that the trembling of Xue Jiuyue's hand when she held his was not due to excitement, but from the endurance of pain.
Classmates and friends gathered to celebrate for Ye Yi. "A watch must be the one he sees most often every day. I hope every time he looks at it, he'll think of me." Xue Jiuyue's shy thoughts were centered on the carefully chosen gift. She even specially engraved a verse and a story on her hairpin, hoping he wouldn't work so hard when he was alone, otherwise someone would feel heartache for him, a pain that would last as long as the second hand.
The classmates and friends around him could not understand the deep meaning, and just cheered, "Kiss, kiss..." Ye Yi, who was influenced by good intentions, instinctively waved after him, but he didn't know that Xue Jiuyue was even more heartbroken.
Those tears and hatred were an accusation of fate and a pity for himself, yet not a single drop fell on Ye Yi. He thought he wasn't romantic enough, that the occasion wasn't right, and hadn't been corrected, otherwise how could he have justified that white lie?
The sunset on the day before Ye Yi left was truly the most beautiful sunset in the world. Rose, burgundy, orange, gold… all these romantic colors were made even more lingering and brilliant by the impending departure. Everything in the world melted into a bowl of amber wine, a mellow and intoxicating beauty.
Of course, the most special thing is that the sunset that day truly engraved "Xue Ji Yue, I love you!"
It must have been the first time, otherwise it wouldn't have been so dazzling and dazzled, eclipsing all those who came after it; it must have been the first time, otherwise it wouldn't have been so unforgettable, making the pain that followed even more devastating...
In that atmosphere that melted the sky, melted the earth, melted the light and darkness, Ye Yi held her hand! It really didn't hurt at that time, so it encouraged the subsequent endless disaster...
Xue Jiuyue fell from heaven in unbearable pain, not knowing whether the experience just now was an experience of love or a dream of lies.
Ye Yi, who was furious, also fell from heaven, not knowing whether all his efforts were in vain or the nirvana of fate.
The impulsiveness of youth caused the watch to shatter into pieces by the harsh reality, and what was shattered even more was Xue Jiuyue's heart and her memories...
Perhaps it was this pain that sealed everything away, forgotten. Although time had worn away the seal's power, allowing those fragments of the image to struggle out, it was only today, with Liu Che's help, that I could see the true face of Mount Lu.
After describing the previous scenes and the content of the dream, Xue Jiuyue couldn't help but ask: "Why is the content of hypnosis not exactly the same as the scene I saw before?"
