I started to doubt whether the decision she made was right...
If a person really has another chance, how will she choose?
When Ye Siling was young, she chose this way——
"I always go to see him secretly... Sometimes I lie by the window, sometimes I eavesdrop on their conversations..."
"They are very busy, always surrounded by piles of books, and always speaking words that I can't understand at all..."
"Then the village chief said they needed someone to serve tea and water and clean the house, so I begged my father to go."
The feelings of youth are so easy to satisfy.
Just take a look from a distance.
Just listen to the sound of his voice.
My heart is pounding, I'm so happy.
"Although my father disagreed, he still let me go. So from then on, I had more opportunities to get closer to him."
"At that time, he was doing some rough work, but he was different from others..."
"When I pour tea, he will politely say thank you to me; when I fetch water, he will help me when he sees it; he is always clean and tidy, instead of throwing all the dirty clothes to me to wash..."
When Ye Siling thought about this, her brows slightly frowned.
This period of time should have been beautiful, but it was also the beginning of all the mistakes.
Say here.
She paused.
Ye Siling was holding a teacup in her hand, which contained hot tea that Chi Wan had given her.
Her fingers were pressed against the glass, turning it in circles.
The steaming water in the teacup also created ripples.
Chi Wan watched Ye Siling's unconscious movements.
It was as if I was looking at the girl from many years ago, and also looking into Ye Siling's heart.
Also in circles...
Rippling.
"Once, they stayed up late to calculate data, and their draft papers were scattered all over the floor. I couldn't help it, so I helped to sort them out and put the ones that looked similar together."
"I thought I was helping him, but I got everything wrong, and he had to spend time reorganizing it, but he didn't blame me. He even discovered at that time that I could read. That was the first time we really spoke."
"Although I can read, I don't really understand much, and I can't understand what they wrote..."
The young girl was nervous and at a loss.
He secretly clenched his fingers behind his back.
But she couldn't help but feel happy talking to this man.
She nodded, but also shook her head.
He said simply and eagerly, "My father taught me, but I don't know much."
The tall young man had been working late at night for several days. His clothes were wrinkled and his beard was not cleaned up, but his smile was so gentle.
He Xinian smiled and encouraged, "It's a good thing to be able to read. You should continue to learn. Learning is a lifelong thing and you should never give up. I have a dictionary here. I can lend it to you. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
The girl's eyes widened in disbelief.
She asked uncertainly, "Is it really possible? Can I come to you? ... I won't tell you, I don't understand."
He Xinian nodded. "Of course. I'm very busy, but I can always teach you how to read when I'm free."
As he spoke, he found a thick Xinhua Dictionary from among the mess of books.
That day.
The young girl held a thick dictionary in her hands, but her heart was flying in the sky as if it had light wings.
After such contact.
They had more interactions after that.
That period of time was also the happiest time in Ye Siling's life.
"At that time, I felt like I was dreaming every day..."
Ye Siling murmured.
Chi Wan listened to her talk about the past, and felt happy and worried as she recalled the joy in her memories.
"Xiao Wan, don't you think I was with him at that time?"
Ye Siling suddenly asked.
Chi Wan was stunned.
She saw the answer from Ye Siling's expression.
Chi Wan asked back, "Isn't it?"
Ye Siling shook her head. "That's not the case."
She continued to talk...
"Although I was happy to be able to meet him, I also remembered what my father said: he does not belong to our village."
"At that time, I treated every day as if it were my last day, and every day was an extra day."
"I like him, but I don't want to possess him, nor do I want him to stay with me forever, or for me to follow him. Those are too unrealistic."
This time, Ye Siling used her current kiss to express her feelings as a girl.
Chi Wan was slightly shocked.
Because in that kind of environment, Ye Siling's idea can be said to be very "trend-conscious".
Love is not a shackle that binds a person.
And it is an emotion that makes both parties better.
While Ye Siling was in love with He Xinian, she learned and improved. She listened to him talk about things in the city, things in school, cars coming and going on the streets, and products in department stores that she had never heard of...
He Xinian never stopped his research.
He is still busy with his daily work, working with his teachers and classmates to contribute to this country.
Chi Wan thought carefully about every word Ye Siling said.
In this story, she heard the girl's admiration and feelings, but did not hear the man's initiative.
Ye Siling likes He Xinian.
Does He Xinian like Ye Siling?
Chi Wan thinks she likes it.
In Ye Siling's narration, He Xinian is a calm, introverted and restrained man.
For example, when everyone else would throw their clothes to Ye Siling to wash, He Xinian would stick to the gender distinction and wash the clothes himself.
He would say "thank you" to Ye Siling, but did not ask for any further conversation.
If he didn't like it, he wouldn't have handed the dictionary with his handwriting to the girl he had never spoken to.
If he didn't like it, he wouldn't have squeezed out time in his busy work to teach a rural girl to learn and improve.
They are in love with each other.
But their love is also forbearing and restrained.
Without affecting the other party, they quietly take root and sprout.
No one said it out loud.
There is just a layer of hazy window paper.
A faint glow.
But it makes people feel open, broad-minded and sweet.
And this story gradually reached a turning point.
If it hadn't been for that accident, Ye Siling and He Xinian would have followed their original life trajectories instead of being intertwined and entangled with each other.
"In the winter of the second year after they left the village, the policy changed. I didn't understand the specific reason, but the village chief said that they all had to go back."
"In the spring, I met him, but in the winter, I have to send him away."
"That winter was very cold, and there was a heavy snowfall that only happens once in decades. Life was very difficult for everyone. Some people in the village even starved to death. No one survived that winter."
Say here.
Ye Siling's fingers trembled.
She seemed to remember the coldness of that winter.
The water in the teacup in the palm of my hand has already cooled down and is no longer hot.
But she still held it tightly.
