Chapter 33: Special Lottery Poems in the Cherry Blossom Rain
Chapter 33: Special Lottery Poems in the Cherry Blossom Rain
When the internship period has come to an end and the graduation ceremony is not far away; when the cherry blossoms fall from the sky, as if giving back to spring with the most beautiful and moving appearance...
The person you want to meet also slowly returns like a god, which is heart-warming!
It was a leisurely afternoon that day.
Students who are busy all day finally have time to take a short break.
Chi Shu, Mo Nican and their roommate Su Zhouxue walked out of the library together. After studying hard all morning, they were preparing to go for a walk by the lake to clear their minds and refresh themselves.
The three of them walked along the path beneath the cherry trees, enjoying the scenery while chatting and laughing about interesting things. But when Chi Shu inadvertently turned her gaze and saw that familiar figure standing under the cherry tree, silently looking in their direction, she suddenly fell silent.
Chi Shu focused his eyes and stared at the person not far away without blinking. He felt that his mood at this moment was just as the poem said - "I know that an old friend has arrived, and I am pleasantly surprised to keep my promise."
Before this, she had never experienced how one day she would miss someone so incomparably and inexplicably. Even if that person was right within her sight, she still missed him very much.
It is indeed a complex emotion that is hard to explain, but the feeling seems very wonderful.
Mo Nican and Su Zhouxue, who were standing beside her, saw that she was suddenly frozen in place. They turned their heads to look in the direction her gaze was taking, and then they understood.
Mo Nican was about to pull Su Zhouxue away from here, intending to leave this little world to the two of them, but before leaving, he couldn't help but teasing her softly:
"Oh my~ Xiao Chi Shu, your eyes make my heart flutter."
Then, without waiting for her response, he quickly slipped away very tactfully.
Feng Yichen approached Chi Shu and looked at the light and shadow in her bright eyes, which shone like the moon. He felt that it was really beyond his expectations, so he couldn't help but chuckle: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chi Shu looked up at the gentle gaze he returned, silently rolling the words "Feng Yichen" between his lips, and then gently called out his name: "Feng Yichen...long time no see."
It has indeed been a long time since we last saw each other. The whole internship had separated us by such a long time. The person who was far away from us across mountains and seas was finally right in front of him. Feng Yichen inexplicably felt that his heart had finally settled down at this moment, with the person who was within his reach.
At the same time, his mind was shaken by the name that Chi Shu called out softly.
When he came, he was thinking of giving her a surprise, but he never thought that this unexpected encounter would make him even more excited.
This time he came back with a gift that carried great significance, and he originally wanted to express his feelings to her clearly in a way that the phone could not convey.
But looking at the person in front of him at this moment, Feng Yichen suddenly felt a little worried, worried that if he sent him away rashly at this moment, this peaceful beauty would pass too quickly.
Therefore, he had to temporarily put aside his eagerness and handed the flowers in his hand to Chi Shu, smiling gently and saying, "These flowers you like are for you."
All I saw was: nine blooming off-white magnolias were stretched out and neatly wrapped in the retro-style rice paper printed with running script and ink. They were very elegant and beautiful, and also very touching, especially for Chi Shu, who was given this bouquet of flowers by the person she loved. She suddenly remembered the everlasting magnolia from a long time ago.
At this moment, Chi Shu's face was filled with unconcealable happiness.
Feng Yichen also felt incomparable joy in his heart, and then he invited Chi Shu to take a leisurely stroll along the lake covered with cherry blossom petals.
The two of them enjoyed the scenery while reminiscing about the past.
The joy of reunion after a long separation, accompanied by the warm scenery of blooming flowers, can indeed soothe and relax the mood in a very short time, making people happy both physically and mentally.
A few fallen petals playfully fluttered down from the branches, lightly passed through the fingertips, and soon floated onto the bench, making people realize that they had accidentally walked under a cherry tree in a corner.
The two turned their heads and looked at each other tacitly, as if the old scene was before their eyes again, but their mood was no longer the same as before.
Now my mood is filled with the warmth of spring, and the atmosphere has become one of laughter and conversation.
Time flies by in a few strokes, silently passing by, leaving the branches of flowers gradually sparse and then gradually lush. Fortunately, the people around me still look the same, and their hearts are still kind.
The two smiled at each other, then sat down on a bench nearby.
Feng Yichen placed the gift on the other side of the bench, then turned to look at Chi Shu beside him, and recalled the scene of their parting with her: "Do you remember what you said to me before the internship?"
Chi Shu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I remember."
Looking at her gentle smile, Feng Yichen asked softly, "Can you tell me now what you couldn't say before? Besides, you seem particularly happy today. I also want to know why."
Upon hearing this, Chi Shu breathed a sigh of relief, his smile gradually brightened, and he decided to answer the second half of the sentence first.
She calmed down for a moment before speaking slowly, as if relieved from a heavy burden: "It's because I now have skills that I can rely on, and because I have the composure to attack or defend, and more importantly, because I will never again let the one I love down."
Her words, which came as a relief, suddenly became like a heavy weight that hit Feng Yichen's heart, causing his chest to vibrate violently and his heart to surge.
But when it comes to "the love of the wronged heart", he is eager to know the reason, and then asks:
"Where does this word 'grievance' come from?"
Chi Shu looked at Feng Yichen's earnest expression and remained silent for a moment. He then turned his gaze to an unknown shrub on the lawn with a fallen petal. After a long while, he finally raised his head, his gaze fixed on a certain point in the void. He murmured the unspeakable worries that had often surged into his heart:
"The so-called 'grievance' is because I don't have enough light to support the future. I worry that I will destroy this beauty. I also feel that I don't know how to love others, and..."
She took a deep breath and exhaled gently, as if she had done enough mental preparation before she seemed to have the strength to continue her statement:
"Also, because I don't think I'm beautiful, and I just want this spring scene to be perfect."
After saying this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and her gaze shifted from the spring scenery to the person beside her.
These words made the air seem to stand still for a moment.
The tail end of the words drifted away in the wind, but with the wisps of spring breeze, they penetrated into Feng Yichen's heart, making him feel a little overwhelmed in an instant, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to these touching and sincere words.
But he also noticed Chi Shu's pause, so he picked up the most comforting thing at the moment, staring intently at her eyebrows and asking her in a gentle voice: "Do you know what my favorite thing is in some of the literary works I've read?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Shu turned his head and looked over, with confusion in his eyes, but also seemed to be looking forward to the answer.
Therefore, Feng Yichen's eyes became gentler:
"I like that the book never describes the heroine's beauty, but rather subtly presents a peaceful concept: not being unattractive is not necessarily unworthy of love. Nor does it mean that no matter what she does or what virtues she possesses, she must be beautiful in order to be loved."
As he said these words, his deep eyes shone like the Milky Way, gently and slowly moving across Chi Shu's cheeks. Before his smile became even gentler, he continued to talk to her:
"The person I love always seems to be unable to see how many shining points she actually has, but I want to tell her that there's no need to be discouraged by her looks. When I love someone, I don't just love their beautiful appearance. On the contrary, I love their unique soul even more. There are countless flowers in the world, but I love you simply because you are you. No matter how many things there are in the world, I only love you.
"Also, you should learn to appreciate yourself and see your own beauty. Every girl in this world has her own shining points, and in my eyes, you are no exception.
"Your warmth, kindness, and wonderful qualities have long made you a unique ray of light in this vibrant spring, making it infinitely brighter and more beautiful, and making my heart... soar."
Feng Yichen spoke word for word, hoping to let the dappled sunlight fall upon Chi Shu's eyes and into her heart. And he did just that: he saw the tiny fragments of light and shadow gradually coalesce in Chi Shu's eyes, as if bright ink were painting the image of himself, imprinted in her eyes at that moment.
Chi Shu's smile gradually brightened, which also infected Feng Yichen, causing his smile to slowly deepen, and his heartstrings were also plucked, playing the long-lost prelude of this spring.
He thought with relief: Don't worry, my Chi Shu, we still have a lot of time. In the years to come, I will slowly tell you how wonderful you are.
Feng Yichen made this promise in his heart without asking for anything in return.
But Chi Shu beside him had bright eyes because of his words, and he looked at him again slowly but firmly.
That look made Feng Yichen stunned for a moment, but he was also full of anticipation for the content.
Sure enough, the little girl in front of him slowly uttered the words he had been waiting for for so long: "Actually... I've liked you a long, long time ago, and I really, really like you. Until now, no one has liked you more than me. Feng Yichen, did you hear that?"
Feng Yichen's joy at this moment was beyond words and was almost overwhelming.
He turned to face Chi Shu, raised his hand and gently tucked the hair by her ear, placed his warm palm on her shoulder, and stared seriously and solemnly into her clear eyes, as if he wanted to see deeply into her heart at this moment:
"I heard it, and I've always been clear about it. Chi Shu, you might not have noticed, but your feelings for me have always been pure, sometimes even so sincere that they're almost straightforward. So I've never doubted it, and I've never retreated. I've just been waiting, hoping that you'd be brave enough to come closer to me, closer and closer..."
As his words faded away, Chi Shu focused his eyes, but they ran straight into the warm light and shadow.
She was attracted by that gaze, and in that spring-filled scene, she slowly leaned over and gave Feng Yichen an almost pious kiss on the corner of his eye.
When the gentle warmth faded, Feng Yichen opened his moist eyes, his gaze lingering on her lips. He then took the brocade box beside him, took out a jade bracelet that carried great significance, and earnestly expressed his long-held expectation:
"Chi Shu, we have known each other for a long time. There is a long time ahead. Are you willing to spend it with me?"
At this moment, Chi Shu's throat was choked, but he responded very solemnly.
Feng Yichen's heart was filled with emotions, and he put the jade bracelet on her wrist with great care.
Chi Shuyi's eyes were red. Then, swept away by the spring breeze, he fell into Feng Yichen's generous and warm embrace, melting into the rain of cherry blossoms...
The distant mountains are inky black, the scenery is picturesque; magnolias are blooming all over the fields, competing for congratulations——
At this time, there was a collection of poems next to the brocade box on the other side of the bench.
And just like that carefully selected feather bookmark, it is a specially prepared collection of poems.
The only difference is that there is only one such special signature, which belongs only to Chi Shu.
In that collection of poems, the records carry——
It is Feng Yichen's thinking and exploration, hope and longing, waiting and guarding for the world that his heart yearns for.
The final volume is printed: -The book is complete-
On the blank last page of the book is a special signature:
——————
However, our story is not over yet...
I feel so lucky to have met you.
When I first saw it, everything was pure and beautiful.
Now that everything is settled,
I bow to the moon,
May you also be my light.
Everything in the world is just like a passing cloud in the end.
So there is no need to underestimate yourself, you are the best.
The years are long, the time is long,
The three thousand complexities are not disturbing my heart, I hope you and I will always be together in the future,
Plant flowers in early spring; lean on the wind in midsummer; wait for the moon in early autumn; enjoy the snow in late winter.
Having you in my life throughout the four seasons makes me feel more fulfilled.
——————
The signature is Feng Yichen's elegant and beautiful handwriting, just like the flowing clouds and water above - Qing Zhi Yichen
