Chapter 257 Scene 7 (Inverted V) Friends are like the…
friend…………
"Shuzi, um, from today on, we're deskmates. I'm Yu Man. Let's be friends?"
"Oh, okay."
"Hey, that..."
"Sorry, I still have some homework to do. Could you please be quiet for a moment?"
"Oh, oh, okay, sorry..."
friend……
"Shuzi, Shuzi! I see you've been working on your homework and haven't left the classroom yet, so I brought you some bread and drinks. Eat something to fill your stomach, or you'll be hungry during evening study!"
"I……"
"Shh, just eat it. I had a hard time getting this. If you don't eat it, I'll be very sad!"
"...I just wanted to ask you why you brought me food."
"Oh, well, because we are friends."
friend.
"Shuzi—how about we go to the library to study together this weekend?"
“…”
"Well, actually I was craving that ice cream."
"Um?"
"Oh! Okay, okay, I want to take you to the new amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel!"
"Ferris wheel?"
"Yes, it's really beautiful. You can see the beautiful night view. And there's free cake for the opening!"
“…”
"Shuzi, Shuzi—just go with me—"
"Okay, I'll go with you, but you have to study hard in the library first."
"I know, Shuzi is the best!"
friend?
"Shuzi, look, look, wow, it's so beautiful!"
“…”
"This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful night view. Wow, that's the school, right? Hey, you can even see the river, and there are boats. It's so beautiful!"
“…”
"Shuzi Shuzi, come, let's take a photo!"
"oh."
"eggplant!"
"eggplant."
"Dangdang! You didn't expect it, a birthday present!"
“…”
"Come here, Shuzi, hold it and compare it. I'll take a birthday photo of you! It's guaranteed to look great!"
“…”
"Three, two, one, eggplant!"
“…”
"Hey, Shuzi, why aren't you... Shuzi? Shuzi! Why are you crying? Don't cry!"
“…”
Ever since her friend was hit by a car and died in front of her when she was a child, Shuzi has become quiet and has even developed a negative attitude towards "making friends". Her world is like a gray and white world, and only certificates, trophies, medals and grades are colorful and can make her happy.
Shuzi has no friends and doesn't need any. She has always maintained her first place in the rankings, erecting a high barrier to block others. Over time, fewer and fewer people are willing to communicate with her and want to communicate with her.
Shuzi originally thought that he would continue like this, but Yu Man was like a fireball, burning down the barrier that Shuzi had built for himself and breaking into Shuzi's world.
Yu Man said that they had been classmates from kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, to high school. She had wanted to make friends with Shuzi many times, but Shuzi ignored her. Finally, this time, Shuzi paid attention to her, and they finally became friends.
From then on, Yu Man lit up the world for Shuzi little by little, and Shuzi's world became colorful again.
What a pity, if...
"I, I just..." Shuzi looked at the small tree in his hand. The night outside the window was three points inferior to it. "I just, my eyes are a little itchy..."
"Itchy eyes, eh?"
"Well, thank you. I like this gift very much."
"Happy birthday! Look at the picture I took of you. Why... Hey, wait, why is there my reflection in this mirror?!"
"Um?"
"No, no, take another picture and another picture!"
"Oh, okay."
It’s a pity, it would have been better if Yu Man hadn’t jumped off the building.
In Shuzi's memory, Yu Man's figure and face have become blurred, but the years they spent together and the beautiful scenery they saw together are still sealed in Shuzi's mind forever.
I don’t want to open it, I can’t open it, and I don’t dare to open it.
Because of repeated separations and deaths, including his father, classmates, and friends, Yu Man and Shuzi began to resist contact with others.
Gradually, she became cold and selfish.
In front of her, it seems that reason and the future of mankind always prevail. Any emotions or life that hinders human survival should die.
And when did she realize that such an idea was "wrong"?
From the time those girls and boys entered the platform?
When you learned about and got to know the girl named "He Yuezhe" from their memories and mouths?
In the eyes of those girls and boys, the relationship between friends seems to be the most important. It doesn’t matter if they die, as long as their friends can survive.
ha.
Friends, friends, friends.
But friends are really fragile.
Friends will quarrel, become enemies, sincerity will fade, and they will die.
Friends are like the most attractive crystal ball in the shop window that can sing and make snow fall. You look at it and are attracted by it because it can always make you happy in different ways.
But one day it will run out of power, break, no longer be able to sing beautiful songs, and no longer be able to make snow fall.
“…”
"Shuzi, I don't know what you really think, and which of the things you told me about the past are true."
“…”
"Where does your cruelty come from? Your obsession with saving humanity, saving the world?"
“…”
"But Shuzi, you're just you. No one is born to be a savior," He Yue turned around and looked at the silent Shuzi. "If you're tired, if you don't want to be one, then don't be one. Be an ordinary person and live with everyone. Even if the world really does end, there's no need to be anxious or afraid, because everyone will die anyway. You might as well have a good hot pot before you die and chat with your family and friends."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Shuzi, what do you think a friend is?"
“…”
"Fragile? A burden?"
“…”
"In my opinion, a friend is a partner, someone who shares life and death with you, a supporter, and the bowl of hot noodles that is always on the table when you return home. If she is alive, I will support her choices at all costs. If she dies, I will spend the rest of my life carrying her wishes and her soul. Even if it means I disappear, I will let her exist and make her wishes come true."
“…”
"Separation is inevitable. No matter which party dies, the other will be sad. But," He Yuezhe squatted down and looked at Shuzi, "Shuzi, if the one who died was you, and you saw your best friend crying for you and despairing for you, would you be happy?"
“…”
"No, the answer is definitely no."
She reached out her hand and gently wiped away the tears on Shuzi's face: "So, why not be happy? For her, and for yourself."
“…”
“…”
Shuzi didn't cry loudly. Instead, she just sat quietly in the wheelchair, without any expression, and tears just flowed down her face.
"Shuzi," He Yuezhe stood up. "To be honest, I don't want my partner to tell me that there's no point in living anymore when the world is truly saved."
“…” Shuzi raised his head.
"So," He Yuezhe looked at her, "Would you like to be friends with me?"
“…”
"Become the kind of friend who can share life and death with you, who can be your support, who can be your partner, who can cook you a bowl of noodles when you go home."
“…”
"Although it feels a bit awkward to say this, if I could be your reason to live, I want to tell you that I would be happy to do so, no matter when."
“…”
"Ahem, alright, that's all I have to say."
He Yuezhe raised his hand and waved at Shuzi with a smile: "Shuzi, happy birthday."
"...How do you know?" Shuzi asked blankly.
"Hehe, I won't tell you."
"Bang!"
“…”
“…”
"Captain of the team! Just lock that guy out like that, okay?"
"Oh, that should be okay?"
"Xiaozhe, marshmallow."
"Thank you, Xiaoshu."
"Captain, have you ever heard the saying, 'It's hard to persuade a suicidal person with kind words?'"
"Oh, I'm fine."
"Captain, is that man the leader here?"
"Yeah. Have you met her?"
"Well, we were worried about you, so we came here through the transmission channel downstairs and met her. She told us that you are safe now and asked us to wait for you here."
"Oh, by the way, speaking of this, I haven't mentioned you guys yet."
He Yue turned around, crossed her arms, and looked at the four people: "You four, don't you trust me? Why do you do such a dangerous thing? What if something goes wrong in the middle of the process? What if... Hey, can you guys please consider your own safety?"
"Hehehe, Captain, we are just worried about you!" Ban Weile scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm very capable, there's nothing to worry about!"
"Well, but, Xiaozhe, we are still worried about you." Chen Shu rubbed his hands nervously, "If, if anything happens to you, we will be very sad..."
"Okay, I'm safe and sound, don't be sad."
"Hmph," Tang Xiqin raised an eyebrow. "Besides, since someone is willing to risk their own life to come here again to save us, we can't just sit there and wait for you to come and save us, right?"
"hey-hey……"
"Oh, speaking of which, Captain, has your memory recovered?" Yuan Yang asked.
"I've recovered. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you in time."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I know that the captain will remember me one day, so I'm not in a hurry."
"Hey, don't be so sentimental."
"team leader……"
"Xiaozhe..."
“…”
“…”
"Why are you all crying? Don't cry, I..."
What has it been like in the past few years?
Seven years.
She finally saw them again.
It’s not the same as I remember. He’s thinner, more haggard, and his eyes are red.
"You guys have all grown taller and fatter."
Looking at the four pairs of tearful eyes, He Yuezhe held back his tears and said, "I know that you were doing well when I was away, so I..."
——"Xiaozhe, let's go, go far away, go home."
——"Captain, survive, and take us with you to survive."
——"Captain, you must be happy in the days ahead!"
——"Captain, you made the right choice, let's go."
"Home" is where you are.
"Live on", if I don't have you, I would rather die.
"Happy", my happiness comes from you.
"The right choice", what is the right choice? We are together, only when we are together, it is the most correct choice, the only choice.
It was they who used all their energy and vitality to send her away from here, and it was they who were willing to do anything to keep her alive.
She went to see them after she left, and they were not living well at all.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late and made you suffer...
I'm sorry if it wasn't me, I'm sorry I'm too late, I'm sorry...
No, no, you've done great, you all have done great.
Shaking his head, He Yuezhe raised the corners of his mouth, as always.
"statement."
"Xiaozhe..."
"Tang Xiqin."
"exist……"
"Ban Wei Le."
"team leader……"
"Yuan Yang."
"Um."
"Everyone."
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
"haven't seen you for a long time."
