Ye Zhi nodded and didn't say anything more... but she got up, as if to see me off.
"Mr. Ye, you're busy... no need to see me off."
As I was saying this, I prepared to walk outside... but then I suddenly remembered the music she had just played. I knew which album it was from, but I'd forgotten the exact song title... (I've had similar experiences before.)
Anyone who has experienced this should know this feeling very well... it's that you suddenly feel incredibly anxious because you can't remember something.
So I stopped and asked Ye Zhi, "When I came in just now, the song that was playing was one of the fables, right?"
"Um."
What's the song called?
"Cambrian Period".
"Yes... it's called Cambrian... when I first heard it, I thought it was quite 'psychedelic'."
Ye Zhi shook her head and replied, "It's just that the music style is psychedelic... In reality, the content is very realistic."
"Really? How so?"
"This album features five songs in a psychedelic style, including Cambrian, New Tenant, Chanel, Asura, and Lycoris Radiata..."
After a brief pause, Ye Zhi continued, "Cambrian Period: 480 million years ago, the first period of the explosion of life, representing the beginning of love; New Tenant: People come and go on Earth, and everyone has the chance to meet new neighbors, representing the appearance of someone you like; Chanel: wearable, ostentatious, and vain, representing the presence of a third party; Asura: one of the eight classes of celestial beings, who takes pleasure in destruction, representing a combative and jealous nature in love; Lycoris radiata, a Buddhist term, representing that even if love has no outcome, it will still bloom on the other side of the river of death..."
I pondered Ye Zhi's words in my mind several times before replying, "If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that this album contained such a profound message!"
"I only recently started listening to it..."
Which song is your favorite?
I thought Ye Zhi would blurt it out, but after glancing at me, she replied, "I prefer the theme of the red spider lily... because it's the most realistic."
I smiled and replied, "Is that so... But when I came in, Cambrian was playing... I wonder if playing these songs on repeat would also symbolize a kind of reincarnation?... If there is reincarnation, then Cambrian is probably not Cambrian, and the other shore flower is not the other shore flower."
Ye Zhi remained silent, her silence revealing deep thought.
At this moment, there is no distinction between public and private matters; only the contradictions and tests of adults; and after the tests, contradictions arise again...
...
Even if it doesn't lead to anything, I will eventually have to leave...
Once we step out of this door, a wall will appear between us...
The wall is the surging river... We are each other's other shore.
But can one truly see through it?
The flowers bloom on the other shore, but their reflections shimmer in the water...
