The dream is lost in the Aegean Sea
After Fang Chongyan and Aunt Qing got married, they planned to settle in Canada. Before they left, I went to see them off.
In the living room, Fang Chongyan handed me a strange thing. He said he found it when sorting out Fang Xuyu's belongings. It was a property certificate with my name on it.
I was very confused as to how Fang Xuyu could get such a certificate without my information .
The place shown on the document is the Aegean Sea.
The Aegean Sea is located between the Greek Peninsula and the Anatolian Peninsula . It has a very winding coastline, numerous harbors, and numerous islands. The distance between adjacent islands is very short. Standing on one island, you can clearly see the island opposite.
No other sea in the world can compare to the number of islands in the Aegean Sea.
In order to figure out this mystery, I took a half-month vacation and booked a ticket to go to the place on my ID. However, the exact location was a bit difficult to find. I spent a lot of time and asked many people. Finally, with the help of a fishing boat and enthusiastic locals, I found it.
It was a house in a small town, and as I followed the route and saw the little white steeple house by the sea, I suddenly burst into tears.
I stood there, the sea breeze blew my tears away. A bearded foreigner saw me and asked me in broken Chinese: "Are you Fang Weiyang?"
I nodded, and he gave me a bunch of keys, saying that a gentleman had given me a bunch of keys. One day, he saw a Chinese girl coming here and asked him to pass on the keys, so he came here every day to wait.
He said that the gentleman had been wandering around their place for more than a month, and finally took a fancy to this house. He persuaded the owner to buy it, and in the end it was only after the owner asked him why that he agreed.
"What's the reason?" I asked him.
"He said it was a gift for his wife." The bearded man replied with a smile.
I thanked him woodenly and went in.
It's not big inside, but it's very cozy. I opened the window and saw seagulls chasing white waves on the blue sea under the warm sunshine.
There is a small door behind the house. A few meters down the wooden steps, a bamboo fence surrounds a small yard. White flowers are blooming on the fence, winding around. Looking from the yard, a little further away is a path leading to the market by the sea. The flowers are red, the building is white, and the sunset is picturesque. It is as beautiful as a fairy tale world.
——What are your plans or dreams?
——My dream... After finishing school, I want to live by the blue sea in a small house with a white spire. I can see the clean sea water from the window in front of the house, and the path behind the house leads to a lively market in a small town where flowers bloom all year round. The people there are very simple. In the morning, I go to work in the morning glow, and in the evening, I walk home from work with petals under my feet...
But when I opened the door, the person who would love and accompany me for the rest of my life was not at home.
Never.
The sea in the distance, under the sky, was as calm as his melancholy eyes. The sound of waves hitting the rocks was whimpering. I lay down on the bed and listened quietly to the sound of the sea.
The wind poured into my heart, and there was a big hole in my heart that could not be repaired. His voice seemed to be blown by the wind.
——Are you listening to the sound of waves in my house?
--Um.
——Why do you like listening to it?
——Like someone is crying.
——What a strange little boy, who are you?
——Just a moment.
