Chapter 10: The Bride from Heaven 3
Three months, in theory, is just the distance from spring to summer, but for Su Han, it is extremely painful and long. Every day, she wakes up from missing Xu Zhe, living in their former home, filled with memories of him.
The news of Xu Zhe's disappearance spread widely. In the eyes of her friends, Su Han seldom told others anything. After a few days of depression and nervousness, she became stronger and more confident. However, the name Xu Zhe seemed to have become an untouchable scar in her heart.
Finally this day came . She couldn't sleep at five in the morning. This situation had lasted for three whole months. Su Han sat up swiftly, got up to wash, then hesitated for a moment and walked into Xu Zhe's room.
Normally she seldom came here, because the atmosphere of him here was too addictive. If she relaxed a little, her longing for him would burst out, and finally make Su Han emotionally collapse, so she didn't dare to sit for a long time. But this time she had to go, because tomorrow was the exhibition day originally scheduled by Xu Zhe, and she had to find his paintings.
There were very few photos of her and him together, the only one that was taken accidentally when they were playing games. After that, she disliked his selfie camera every time he leaned over, so much so that he printed that one photo in different sizes and hung them all over the bedside and in photo frames. His sketchbook was filled with sketches of the angel pendant design...
Looking at all this, Su Han's hands trembled. She left him so few beautiful things and memories, but he treasured them all.
Su Han didn't really break down until she found the paintings that Xu Zhe was about to exhibit.
This one shows her squinting her eyes and petting a red panda, this one shows her dozing on the windowsill, this one shows her reading a book, and that one shows her hair being blown by the sea breeze as she looks into the distance...
Surprisingly, the theme of every painting is her. When she smiles, the colors are bright; when she is angry, the colors are fiery; when she is quiet, the colors are gentle; when she moves, the colors are lively. Looking at these paintings, she seems to have returned to the noisy and happy time she had with him in the past year.
But as she looked at the painting of her gazing into the distance at the seaside, her tears fell uncontrollably. She had no time to dodge and a tear landed on her cheek in the painting. That tiny drop of tear looked as if the girl in the painting was crying with her.
"I...I just said that I can't stay here. Look, your painting is destroyed. If you are angry, come and hit me! Xu Zhe, why don't you come back!"
The self in the painting looked far ahead, silently and sadly, as if looking at his disappearing lover. Su Han could no longer hold back and cried as he hugged the painting in his arms.
"Xu Zhe, I really miss you..."
The next day, the exhibition was finally held as scheduled.
This was a unique art exhibition. In the small wooden house filled with his and her memories, no furniture was moved, but Xu Zhe's paintings were hung on every wall, corner, and staircase...After three months of promotion by Su Han and his friends, many people came to the exhibition, and visitors came and went in an endless stream. Su Han sat at the corner of the stairs leading to the third floor, holding the red panda, quietly watching the people coming and going below.
Friends also came, and when they saw the portraits, they were all so shocked that they were speechless. Li Su secretly wiped away tears several times.
"Where's Hanmei? I want to go see her. I, I can't stand it anymore... She always looks so strong, but I'm afraid she will collapse after this exhibition."
Zheng Hao held her shoulders and looked up the stairs as if he had sensed her. "I believe she is here, and I also believe she will stay strong. After all, life is so long, who knows what will happen in the future? But as long as you hold on, there will be a miracle."
"Brother, it's no use telling me, you have to tell Hanmei!"
Zheng Hao chuckled dejectedly: "Forget it, she is very smart and will figure it out herself."
Su Han stroked the red panda. She actually heard their conversation and was really happy that she had such a friend. Maybe her love with Xu Zhe could no longer be spent together day and night, but she was willing to keep him in her heart and recall him every day. Even though it was so lonely, it was still so beautiful.
Suddenly, a middle-aged couple walked in from the door, and their figures caused a commotion in the exhibition area. They were Xu Zhe's father and mother. When Su Han saw them, she remembered that she seemed to have not had a good talk with his parents after he had the accident... because she did not have the courage, not the courage to tell them about the disaster.
At this time, they came in. Su Han was afraid to see their sad faces, but they looked very calm. Although a little tired, they were still strong.
A foreign photographer with a camera came over and said, "Excuse me, are you Xu Zhe's parents? I'm a magazine photographer who really admires him. I've seen your portraits at another of his exhibitions! He's truly an artistic genius! I love him!"
Mr. Xu smiled slightly, shook hands with him and thanked him.
The foreign photographer looked at the painting for a long time and exclaimed: "This girl is so beautiful... Mr. Xu's brush can actually paint so many kinds of love, but when I saw this one, I actually felt sad. Why is that?"
That was exactly the painting that Su Han's tears fell on.
Mother Xu was also touched. She said sadly: "That's my son's lover..."
After saying that, she threw herself into Xu's father's arms.
Su Han couldn't sit still. She really wanted to go downstairs and hug Xu's mother, telling her that even if Xu Zhe was not around, she would still love her like a daughter. But at this moment, her cell phone vibrated. It was her parents who were far away in another city.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Han, why haven't you contacted your parents for so long?" It was Su's father who was speaking, but Su's mother on the other end of the line kept grabbing the phone, as if she disliked Su's father for not being able to speak and wanted to comfort her daughter in person.
"Well, something happened recently. I'll tell you when I get home in a couple of days..."
Her parents had known about her relationship with Xu Zhe for a long time, but she had not told them about his accident because she was afraid that they would worry about her...
The phone finally reached Su's mother, and she said with concern: "Xiao Han, have you been feeling a little strange recently? Mom and Dad will come to your city the day after tomorrow, so don't worry about anything, ah!"
She was about to refuse and tell her parents that everything was fine, but her phone ran out of battery!
Mom and Dad are coming the day after tomorrow? What should she do with her depressed look?
The exhibition was very successful. Xu Zhe's university professor also came and praised Xu Zhe's works. As Xu Zhe's graduation show, this show received the highest evaluation ever.
After everything was over, Su Han was still in a daze on the stairs holding the little panda. Finally, Li Su found her and sat quietly with her on the stairs. The two of them had a tacit understanding without saying hello.
"Hanmei, my uncle and aunt called me just now and said that the call was disconnected when they were talking to you. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that my phone ran out of battery," Su Han raised the dead phone, somewhat helplessly, "They said they would come the day after tomorrow, but I was afraid they would notice something was wrong with me, even though I tried to hide it, but..."
Li Su looked at Su Han who said these words calmly, and hesitated for several times before finally saying, "Su Han, it's been three months, let it go."
Su Han was stunned. For some reason, her eyes were slightly red again. Seeing her sad face, Li Su quickly changed the topic: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you a way. It happens that the wedding planning company where I work part-time is short of a model for a wedding dress show the day after tomorrow. The boss asked me to find someone. Hanhan, are you willing to go? If uncles and aunts come over and see you dressed up so beautifully standing on the catwalk, they will definitely not worry about your mood! Okay?"
Wedding dress show? Su Han's heart skipped a beat. Maybe she would never wear a wedding dress again in her life?
However , in order not to worry her parents... her heart ached, and she looked at Xu Zhe's parents who were hugging each other and staggering out of the exhibition hall.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
