Chapter 18: Noble Academy 18: The next life...
Cheng Yu proposed to Wu Yue when she was 25.
There was no grand arrangement. It was after a spring rain that the two of them picked up a little sparrow that had been blown down by the wind in the yard.
It was still a fledgling, in the stage of learning to fly. The wind and rain blew away the sparrow's nest, and its feathers were wet by the rain. It was too young and could not keep up with the mother bird's speed and fell to the ground. It was calling with great effort, trying to call the mother bird back who was catching insects.
Wu Yue likes rainy days very much. She lies lazily at home, watching the rain falling outside the window. She takes a sketchbook and uses a brush to outline a murder case on a rainy night.
She concentrated on painting for the whole morning. The heavy rain outside the window had turned into a drizzle blown by the wind, but the sky was still gloomy and there was little light, which was perfect for snuggling in the quilt and taking a nap.
Cheng Yu did not go out to work today. He was busy in the study and came out to see Wu Yue lying on the lazy sofa with her long hair loose. She was looking out the window with her cheeks raised, her legs raised and dangling. The textured home pajamas were sticking to her skin, outlining her curvy figure.
"Is the painting done?" Cheng Yu walked over, picked her up, kissed her cheek, then grabbed Wu Yue's fingers and gently massaged her.
"Well, that's almost it." Wu Yue didn't want to move, and lay lazily in his arms like a boneless person.
Cheng Yu smiled and scratched her nose, "Do you want to go back to your room and sleep?"
"If you don't want to move, stay here."
Cheng Yu naturally followed her instructions, but Wu Yue suddenly raised her head, sat up, and looked out the window. "Cheng Yu, did you hear that? There's a little bird chirping. It's different from the other chirps. It seems very childish and helpless, and the voice is a little hoarse."
The greenery here is good, which often attracts many birds to live here. It is a bit noisy in the morning, but Wu Yue did not ask anyone to drive them away. Flowers, trees and birds are originally together. The fact that they can be well raised proves that this is a Feng Shui treasure land, where animals live comfortably and people feel comfortable too.
"It seems like there is. Let's go and take a look." Cheng Yu bent down and put on her shoes.
The two of them went outside, holding an umbrella. The rain flowed across the ground and onto the gently planned lawn. They followed the sound and found the fallen chick.
When it saw humans, it was very scared and flapped its wings to fly away, but it fell down again after flying a short distance, and it flew at a very low altitude.
It has not yet mastered the survival skill of flying.
"Poor little thing! I hope it can hold on until its mother bird comes to find it." Wu Yue did not chase it, but looked at the baby bird that wanted to hide with pity.
Baby birds cannot be touched. Animals identify each other by smell. If the mother bird smells human scent on her baby bird, she will abandon the baby bird's life.
Wild chicks are not suitable for captivity and cannot be kept alive, unlike those in the flower and bird market that are raised in captivity and hatched and then taken out.
Wu Yue pulled Cheng Yu back. She also became interested and looked through the telescope on the second floor, trying to figure out when the mother bird would come to find it.
About half an hour later, Wu Yue heard another bird call, which was rapid and frequent. It was a very tiny life in nature, and could only be discovered through careful observation.
Wu Yao watched very patiently. He saw the mother bird come to the chick and peck its feathers. They seemed to be chirping and communicating with each other. Then, the chick tried to fly several times. Finally, it succeeded and flew into the sky following the mother bird.
"Cheng Yu, come and see, the baby bird has been brought back and it can fly now!" Wu Yue was very excited and pulled Cheng Yu to watch the moment of life in nature together.
This is a wonderful feeling, a scene that will never be seen in life, but after seeing it, the soul will be injected with a vitality called "vitality".
"It's powerful." Cheng Yu didn't observe these things before, but after being with Wu Yue, he became more and more humane, as if he had truly become a "human," a grand yet tiny entity.
She possesses divinity, love and compassion for life, and the coexistence of rationality and sensibility. She knows that life is short and eternal, and she cherishes the present moment even more.
Cheng Yu really likes looking at her, he can never get enough of looking at her, or rather, he is looking through her body to see her inner soul, which is very dazzling.
Now, Cheng Yu was also looking at her deeply, with love without any impurities in his eyes, "Ayue." "Hmm?" Wu Yue tilted her head and looked at him.
She was still singing praises for a young and brave little life, and the pure smile on her face had not yet faded.
"Let's get married." Cheng Yu held her hands and carefully stroked the back of her hands, with a loving and serious look, "I planned to give you a very grand proposal ceremony, wanting to declare to the world that I love you. But I think all the deliberately arranged programs are far inferior to my feelings at this moment. I want to marry you and want to be your partner in every sense of the word."
Wu Yue listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, she did not deliberately keep Cheng Yu in suspense to see him nervous.
She smiled, nodded and said yes.
Cheng Yu's heart was leaping with joy, like exploding fireworks.
He bent his head and kissed his wife.
···
This is their fifth year of marriage.
When Wu Yue was 30 years old, she participated in an exchange activity, which was also her first official appearance as a well-known cartoonist at home and abroad.
Previously, the discussion about whether she was a man or a woman had dominated the top search trends online for a long time, but her identity was well hidden and not discovered by anyone.
With this reason, the ticket sales for this event have become more popular than tickets for many concerts. Everyone just wants to satisfy their curiosity.
After seeing Wu Yue, they confirmed again and again that it was the original artist and screamed continuously. There are many fans of criminal investigation and solving cases, including boys and girls. Now the girls are more excited than the boys.
Some people even cried and begged her not to kill off a favorite character. Wu Yue was amused and also thought they were very cute.
After the event, Wu Yue received a confession from a young-looking boy who came to her with a bouquet of roses and a red face. He said he fell in love with her at first sight, and then went to buy a bouquet of flowers as quickly as possible because he didn't want to miss the exciting moment in his life.
"Thank you for your love, but I'm already married." Wu Yue showed her wedding ring. It was very low-key, just a plain ring that she and Cheng Yu made themselves.
The boy was very frustrated. He knew the result and just wanted to say it out loud.
This matter naturally fell into Cheng Yu's ears. His current identity did not allow him to appear in public, but after knowing it, he was extremely jealous.
At night, the two of them made love.
Normally it would be over after two or three times, but Cheng Yu was very excited tonight, as if he was trying hard to prove something. Not only did he do it more times, but it also lasted longer.
Wu Yue's waist was sore from all the torture, so she scratched his back and asked, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"I'm already 31." Cheng Yu said gloomily, "But my physical strength is still better than that of men under 25 years old. I can satisfy my wife's desires."
Wu Yue could hear it immediately, it was a competition.
She said jokingly, "He's jealous of a little boy. He's just trying to attract attention and traffic. I heard he's a little internet celebrity."
Wu Yue doesn't know much about this industry, but from what she knows, it's quite competitive. In order to become famous, many people will do anything.
Cheng Yu snorted. Of course he knew about it. He had already sent people to investigate and made sure that he could no longer get away with it. From then on, there was no trace of this person on the Internet and he could not cause any waves.
He's so bold to use his wife as a gimmick.
Wu Yue thought he was too hot, "Okay, get up quickly."
I knew he was doing it on purpose, taking advantage of the situation.
"It's still early, no rush." Cheng Yu smiled wickedly. Since he had succeeded, how could he stop halfway?
The night was long and the bright moon shyly hid behind the dark clouds.
···
Throughout his life, Cheng Yu has been fulfilling his promise to always be loyal to only one person and always be good to her.
However, the word "forever" will also come to an end when one is old. This is the biggest deception, a deception to him.
How could time pass so quickly and cruelly? A few decades were too short, and it seemed like just yesterday.
Cheng Yu always remembered the day they first met.
He drove away a few thugs, and his heart beat faster when he looked into Wu Yue's bright eyes, and those words came out of his mouth.
"The ancients often said that a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's own body. I don't want your repayment. Just be my girlfriend."
A single word from Meng Lang brought him a lifetime of happiness.
When Chi Mu closed her eyes, Cheng Yu held Wu Yue's hand tightly. His breathing was already difficult and tears were welling up in his eyes. He wanted to see her for the last time and remember it in his soul.
He is very greedy and wants the next life, and the next next... life.
"In my next life... I will be the first to find you... Wait for me..."
"Okay, then you have to come quickly." Wu Yue, also an elegant old lady with white hair, smiled and held his hands.
This was the first time Cheng Yu did not respond to her.
Wu Yue watched him sleep peacefully. After letting the younger generation leave, she changed her clothes and lay down beside Cheng Yu, holding hands with him, just like they had been snuggling together for decades.
She smiled and closed her eyes. Cheng Yu beside her seemed to be smiling as well, and the two held hands without letting go.
"System, let's go."
[good]
Decades later, Wu Yue left this world.
After a while, the younger generations came in and saw that the two elders had passed away with smiles on their faces, and they burst into tears.
I also shed tears for their deep feelings.
