0041 House Finches (5)
He Lingling didn't know why Wan Qifu Ze hated seafood so much. Auntie's pan-fried Norwegian mackerel was rich in oil, very fragrant, and not greasy at all when paired with lemon juice.
All the chaotic memories of the past converged in my dreams.
Bamboo shadows swayed, and he, dressed in a square-cut Zhongshan suit, pinched her chin, mockingly saying he wouldn't marry her. The bamboo shadows faded, revealing the azure sea and golden sand, and he, soaking wet, said to her again, "Marry me."
He doesn't eat seafood and doesn't like the sea, but he accompanied her to the beach she had always longed for the year she graduated.
He cruelly said, "You're not the one I'm marrying," yet he also proposed to her like a flustered young man.
That azure sky and ocean were what she had longed for in D province for a long time.
His friend invited him to travel together after returning to China, but despite his friend's persistent pleas, he remained unmoved upon hearing the destination.
She nestled on the sofa, playing a childish puzzle game that came with the tablet. She didn't even realize the little figure had been eaten by a monster for two minutes, because she was eavesdropping on their conversation.
Let's go see the sea!
She loves the boundless, free, and vast sea the most.
But when I was a child, I didn't have money, and now that I'm grown up, I don't have time. My roommate was planning a graduation trip before graduation, but when she thought of her husband, who was a fierce and ruthless man who would get angry even if she came home after 8 p.m., she shook her head and said, "Never mind."
Why don't I want to go play?
Hearing his friend describe the planned travel destination, she felt as if she could already feel the salty sea breeze and taste a delicious beach BBQ.
"I'm not going," he replied coldly into the phone.
She turned over in disappointment on the sofa, then brought the dead little figure back to life.
She shouldn't have had any wishes in the first place, she thought dejectedly.
On the day the graduation ceremony ended, he parked his car at the main gate of the university to pick her up, but not in the direction of her apartment.
Packed luggage, pre-booked tickets, a trip that can be taken on a whim.
Fireworks exploded in her mind in an instant. She excitedly jumped on him at the airport and shouted, then awkwardly climbed down.
Imagining the sea a thousand or ten thousand times in your mind is not as exciting as the moment you actually see it.
White waves crashed against the golden sand, creating beautiful waves.
Wearing a bohemian maxi dress, she laughed and jumped, running barefoot into the waves.
She could never forget the joy of that moment when she wanted to be close to the sea, even in her dreams.
Because of his excitement, he ran further and further away without realizing it, and when he looked back, the people on the shore could no longer see him clearly.
As she turned around, a wave several meters high washed her down, causing her to choke on several mouthfuls of water.
She knew how to swim, but she choked and lost her strength in an instant, and was forced to swallow several mouthfuls of salty seawater.
Luckily, he didn't swim too far and managed to survive and reach the shore safely.
When I woke up, I saw Wanqi Fuze, who was also wet and looked like a big dog. His hair was soft and flat on his forehead, and he looked very pleasing to the eye.
The dog's eyes are a little red...
She asked him groggily, "What's wrong?"
He didn't say anything for a long time, he just stared at her.
Feeling inexplicably stared at, her cheeks flushed, and she turned to run away.
He grabbed her hand, and their two wet hands, one big and one small, intertwined.
"Lingling, marry me..."
No audience, no diamond ring, an absurd marriage proposal, a flustered young man.
Lingling turned around and stared wide-eyed.
A gleaming silver key hung on his hand, swinging back and forth like a clock.
My mind went blank for a moment.
She didn't take the keys or pay him any attention, whispered "I don't want them," and then quickly ran away.
She squatted down in a secluded corner where no one she knew was, and gently pressed her hand to her chest.
Slow down.
She said softly to herself.
Please jump slower...
...
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the morning sunlight reflected through the window, waking Lingling from her deep sleep.
It takes her a while to realize where she is after opening her eyes; she has a habit of forgetting things when she's drunk.
All she knew was that Wanqi Fuze brought her here; she couldn't remember anything that happened afterward.
The hangover headache made her feel unwell, and she gently pressed her chest, feeling it still pounding fiercely.
What's wrong with me? She shook her head, trying to clear her head.
But then I saw a light flashing not far away.
It is a golden key.
P.S.: Thank you everyone for joining me! Comments are welcome, hehe!
Me: When are you two going to get together properly?!
