Chapter 10 I kissed you and you cried at night Xiang Qianlan04
I left that city, the place that held my entire youth.
On an autumn afternoon, the students on campus were having fun. I stood under a tree and looked at their young faces. The wedding scene of that day often appeared in my dreams. It was a joke, and I was the protagonist of the joke.
Love is a luxury game, and I lost miserably.
When I teach now, I often tell a group of children below the podium not to touch upon love too early.
They scoffed at my words.
In this small town with mountains and rivers, I became a rural teacher. Before class every day, I would buy a bottle of milk at the school gate. After class every day, I would ride my bicycle home. Now, except for the stray cat I picked up at home, I have nothing to worry about.
At least, that's what it seems on the surface.
I rode my bike to the entrance of the alley and heard two kids arguing. They had two very young faces, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The boy was wearing a clean white shirt and looked very angry and had a scary expression. The girl was wearing a green floral skirt and stared at him with a stubborn look the whole time.
They were in a stalemate for a while.
Suddenly, the boy pulled the girl, and the girl impatiently shook off his hand. The boy hugged her and kissed her regardless of the consequences.
That was the age of seventeen, when the seeds of first love sprouted.
I saw the boy kissing the girl intently and devotedly, with a bit of immaturity and clumsiness. I also saw the girl push him away and call him a hooligan, and the boy grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
“It’s a nice day today.”
"Let's date."
"I like you, be my girlfriend, let's date."
The boy’s sudden confession touched the long-buried tenderness in my heart, and I didn’t have the courage to listen to their love words.
Same youth, different characters, it turns out that all stories start out so similarly. When I was daydreaming, they found me, the boy grabbed the girl and ran away.
They reminded me of myself and them in the past.
After the wedding, I resigned. Half a year later, I changed all my contact information and came here alone. I didn't know where Qi Beichen went. Chai Quan and Hong Dou couldn't contact me. Sun Nuofan also evaporated in my world.
It's strange that I suddenly thought of them now. The memory of them seems to be from the last lifetime. For the rest of my life, I just want to live quietly.
I returned home, opened the refrigerator, took out a can of beer, bathed the cat, and dried it. Then , I ate a bucket of instant noodles and lay on the lounge chair on the balcony in a daze.
What's the problem?
In this world, as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, everything will pass, our love and hate will turn into dust and disappear forever.
Everything will pass.
The years are peaceful and I have forgotten my pain.
I turned my head and saw a book spread out on the table, and my eyes fell on a sentence - I am waiting for someone, that person may come back tomorrow, or may never come back.
Who am I waiting for?
