Chapter 30: Thoughts Across Time and Space
"I miss you so much..." Lin Zhou opened his mouth in a low voice, and the scene exploded!
"Wow!" Gao Wen sighed softly, "Lin Zhou is so brave!"
Gao Cheng turned his head abruptly when he heard this: "Actually..."
He was about to speak when his voice was drowned out by the cheers of the audience around him. He turned his head and looked at the stage thoughtfully.
Lin Zhou's voice continued: "It's been over two hundred days since we last met. I... I miss you so much... I've listened to this song so many times, and every time I listen to it, your face appears in my mind! I want to be with you, just like before. There's no need to rush, I can wait... wait... until the day you say yes!"
“…”
wait?
Wait until the day she says yes?
When will that be?
Will that day ever come again?
Tian Xin smiled bitterly in her heart: Boy, your deep affection is ultimately wasted!
The audience erupted in even louder applause than before, and Gao Wen was so excited that she almost screamed.
I didn’t expect that Tian Xin would get married before her. My good sister, I’m so happy for her!
Her best sister was not happy at all.
Everyone waited for a long time, but the imagined scene did not appear. Tian Xin sat in her seat with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.
"Tian Xin, aren't you going to respond?" Gao Wen asked in a low voice.
"No!"
"Everyone is watching?"
"I know!"
"If you do this, Lin Zhou will be embarrassed..." Gao Wen's face was filled with anxiety. Tian Xin knew that she was worried about her.
She stood up and said softly to Lin Zhou on the stage: "Come down, let's talk quietly if you have anything to say!"
When everyone heard this, they thought she was shy and made expressions that said, "I understand." Gao Wen smiled and said, "Congratulations, you've successfully found your partner!"
She smiled and turned her head away: "Don't be silly!"
Lin Zhou hesitated for a second, returned the microphone to the host, and his face quickly switched between several expressions. He was not sure what Tian Xin meant.
But when she didn't come forward, I understood: she must be shy.
There are too many people here, and she must be embarrassed to respond to him in front of so many people.
Didn't she say that? If you have anything to say, just say it quietly.
He pondered Tian Xin's words over and over in his mind. Then he smiled gently and walked towards her...
The ethereal prelude of "Yearning Across Time and Space" slowly began to play, its melody flowing like water, filling the venue. A string of lively notes flowed from the performer's fingertips, expressing the infinite longing for his beloved.
This is Tian Xin's favorite song.
Lin Zhou returned to his seat and held her hand tightly.
"I miss you so much..."
“…”
"I can wait..."
“…”
"Don't ignore me... okay?"
"Stop talking..." She tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tighter.
"I know, we haven't seen each other for a long time, you must not be used to it. It's okay, I can..."
"Stop talking..."
Lin Zhou Yiru is still the same as before, but she is no longer the same person.
Tian Xin was overwhelmed with emotions, and suddenly thought of a line from "The Ballad of Mulan":
If life could always remain as it was when we first met, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan? It's easy to change the hearts of old friends, yet it's said that the hearts of old friends are easily changed.
She turned her head, gently pulled her hand away from Lin Zhou's tightly clenched hand, stood up and left the concert hall!
The ethereal music continued, but it was no longer the tune she wanted to hear.
The voice is not a voice, the song is not a song, the army is not a broken army...
She quickly walked out of the concert hall and ran outfield.
The night is still so quiet, and the evening breeze is cool!
She ran to the street, sat on a bench and breathed a sigh of relief.
Calm down!
Calm down!
At that moment just now, Lin Zhou said with red eyes: Don’t ignore me... okay?
She suddenly felt a throbbing surge from her chest, rushing straight to every part of her body! It was so intense, so piercing...
I can't face him again!
"Tian Xin--" Lin Zhou screamed and ran out of the concert hall. When he saw her sitting on the bench, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Wen and Gao Cheng also followed her out. The three of them walked up to her and looked at her together.
"What's wrong?" Gao Wen squatted down and asked her softly.
"It's okay! I came out to get some fresh air. It's too stuffy in there!" She smiled and said, "Why did you all come out?"
"You suddenly ran out and scared me to death!" said Gao Cheng.
"You should have held onto Gao Wen!" Tian Xin teased Gao Cheng with a smile, "What would you have done if that lucky spectator just now were you?"
"Of course I..." Gao Cheng said this and then stopped suddenly: "Oh! The key is that this luck didn't fall on me!"
Alas...this fool!
She quickly glanced at Gao Wen, and her bright big eyes suddenly lost their luster!
I can’t carry it with me. I can’t carry it with me. You’re such a blockhead!
She shook her head and stood up, but when she looked up she met Lin Zhou's lonely eyes.
There was confusion, sadness, and a hint of emotion in those eyes that she couldn't understand.
She frowned: I didn't expect that Lin Zhou, a young man, would be so fragile.
After all, he is a man who has seen the world, and he is not young anymore, but he acts like a little boy.
It’s just a failed confession, at most I’ll be sad for two days!
If he knew that she threw herself into the fire for love and was finally beaten to death by the man she loved, how would he feel?
"Lin Zhou, I'm sorry! I'm very touched by what you just said!" she said.
Lin Zhou's eyes, which had been as still as dead water just now, suddenly ignited with flames after hearing these words, sincere and burning.
"but--"
She said it but the fire in his eyes was instantly extinguished.
"But, I may not be the one you want..."
"Yes!" he said, his tone gentle but firm.
"You are, always have been, always will be..."
"But you are not!" Tian Xin smiled and said, "I don't like you!"
Her voice was gentle, but her words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into Lin Zhou's heart.
dislike……
A severe pain spread from Lin Zhou's heart. He felt dizzy and could hardly stand.
dislike……
"Let's go back!" Tian Xin said to Gao Wen with a smile: "I'm a little tired!"
"Okay, go back!"
On the way back, no one spoke. The carriage was unusually quiet.
Gao Cheng wanted to find some topics to chat with Lin Zhou, but he opened his mouth several times, but Lin Zhou didn't respond.
He feels a lot of pain!
There was clearly no discomfort, but it hurt so much that I couldn't breathe.
There has never been a moment like this, she is right in front of me, yet she feels so far away!
He couldn't catch it, nor could he let it go. It just hung on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe!
pain!
It hurts so much!
Lin Zhou leaned on the passenger seat, looked at the people coming and going outside the window, and recalled the time he spent with Tian Xin.
The first time he saw her in college, she was selling milk tea at the school gate. At that time, he didn't know that they were in the same university.
"Tian Xin, it's really you!" he said in surprise.
"You are...Lin Zhou!" she tried to ask him.
"Yes, it's me! Why are you here?"
"I'm going to school!" she said.
"Go to school? Jiaotong University?"
"ah!"
Later, she shared a book of hers, The Moon and Sixpence by Maugham.
"Look up at the moon or look down and pick up sixpence. What do you choose, Lin Zhou?"
"The moon is too far away, I can only pick up sixpence!"
He answered her like that.
Later she said: "My moon is the land behind me, where the people I love are. For the rest of my life, I will protect them. This is my original intention and ideal, and I will never change it!"
Later, he found himself missing her.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
"Busy! I need to prepare for a very important interview!"
"Do you need help?"
"No, I can do it myself!"
Later, on the eve of graduation.
He mustered up the courage to confess his love to her.
She just smiled and rejected him as soon as she opened her mouth.
Maybe it's just like she said: "We are not on the same path."
Yeah?
So, is it time to let go?
Lin Zhou thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't react when he arrived!
"Hey, man, we're here!"
Gao Cheng patted his shoulder!
"Oh! Excuse me!" He looked back at the back seat, which was empty: "Where are they?"
"They sent them back. Didn't you notice them getting off the car?"
“…”
Sigh...will we ever see each other again? I didn't even say hello just now.
"Don't be sad, buddy! Girls are bound to get emotional in that kind of situation. Maybe she'll be fine in a couple of days!"
"You noticed that too? She doesn't want to!"
"No, no, no, I don't think so?"
"Why?"
"Dude, what's your relationship with that girl in front?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"It doesn't matter why is she following you?"
"Alas... I came out to relax, who could have known she would follow me!"
"Be careful, buddy," said Gao Cheng.
"Girls are most disgusted by this kind of unclear relationship. Think about it, you showed up in front of her today with that girl, and yet you said you missed her. What do you want her to think? Forget about her, I don't believe it!"
"So, you think she said that just now because of Liang Xiao!"
"What else?"
"So, I still have a chance, right?"
Lin Zhou sat up straight, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"What else?" Gao Cheng smiled.
"Then tell me quickly, what should I do next..."
