My girlfriend is from the future!

Chapter 129 If We Never Met ([-])

The road around the sea on the island is full of blue waves and warm sunshine.

The rustling sound of the tide hitting the shore, the whirring of the sea breeze in the ear, and the buzzing sound of the small electric donkey engine when sitting down, all the sounds are perfectly blended with the scenery in front of you, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Cao Aiqing supported He Tianran's waist with both hands, and suddenly indulged in this atmosphere.

Human anxiety seems to be unable to keep up with the speed of the electric car at more than 30 yards. She pulled out a hand and stroked the hair that was blowing in the wind.

On the side of the road, rows of white power-generating windmills kept disappearing, receding and reappearing, like the most conspicuous signpost on this road, but it didn't say where the destination of this road was.

He Tianran couldn't see Cao Aiqing's expression behind him, but he seemed to feel it, and said loudly:

"Hey, where did you choose your art gallery?"

"Keep going, it will always arrive."

"what?"

The wind was so strong that he couldn't hear clearly.

"Keep going."

Following Cao Aiqing's instructions, He Tianran finally drove the small eDonkey to a headland at the southern end of the island bay. Compared with some popular scenic spots on the island, this place is still undeveloped.

The altitude of this island cape is about [-] meters above sea level, and it is an excellent location to look at the sea. However, the surrounding area is bare, except for stones and the sea, and there is no trace of construction. He Tianran couldn't help asking:

"Have you started work yet?"

Cao Aiqing got out of the car and didn't answer his question immediately. She walked silently to the bank, raised her hand and stretched.

Her dress originally exposed her fragrant shoulders and half of her snowy back, but with this movement of hers, He Tianran could clearly appreciate the graceful butterfly bones that were slowly unfolding.

She turned her head and said to He Tianran who was still standing there: "How can it be so fast? The establishment of the art museum is also an important part of the tourism development of Nanyan Island. It will take several years of work, by the way, what do you think of this place?"

"here?"

"Ah."

He Tianran stepped forward, stood side by side with her, looked at the vast sea, thought for a while, and seriously replied:

"It feels lonely, including this place you've chosen."

"You feel bad?"

He Tianran shook his head: "I know that in the field of architecture, designs that can be called 'lonely' generally have a unique aesthetic feeling, so I don't feel bad..."

The boy looked at Cao Aiqing while talking, and the other party was also looking at him. He was a little embarrassed, and continued:
"I can't say anything about architecture that is too professional, but I can help you analyze my impressions from the director's point of view. For example, I want to shoot a panoramic shot. The subject of the shot is an art gallery. Throwing away your whole body Regardless of the design, if the current season is changed to winter, the waves, rocks, and art galleries, all these elements are combined, and there is no need to use any skills, and there is enough charm... But..."

"But what?"

"However, beauty for the sake of beauty is not the first priority that you architects pursue. You told me that architecture will nourish the unique culture of the region after years of precipitation. This is the charm of architecture, and I think , Nanzhi Island puts so much effort into tourism development, what it wants is definitely not loneliness." He Tianran said slowly.

Cao Aiqing felt a little unbelievable after hearing his opinion, which coincided with her point of view, but she said:

"I didn't tell you that."

"Hahaha, yes, you really didn't tell me." He Tianran laughed dryly.

"But what you said is correct. Before the plan was given to the leaders of Nanzhi Island, your mother gave you a pass...I...what else did she tell you?"

The "she" Cao Aiqing mentioned, of course, refers to Cao Aiqing in another world.

"What? Are you afraid that I will copy the answer?" He Tianran joked.

Cao Aiqing laughed angrily, "Of course not, but after hearing what you said, I was curious whether the me 13 years ago will be the same as the me now in terms of treating the things I love."

Can this be the same?Besides architecture, she also loves me!

He Tianran slandered, but it was neither suitable nor possible to say such words to Cao Aiqing in front of him. He said seriously:
"Her favorite architect is Tadao Ando, ​​and her favorite work is also his Church of Light. She believes that architecture should become a part of nature. One day, reinforced concrete will disappear with time. Therefore, it is not through the material Instead, let it exist as a kind of memory in people's hearts forever, this is her career pursuit all the time, do you think so now?"

Cao Aiqing could only remain silent after hearing this familiar ideal original intention.

He Tianran realized that the other party's mood was not right, and comforted him: "Her ideas are noble, but she doesn't have any practical experience. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's just talk on paper, but you are different from her, you already have enough ability to realize it." The original ideal, but the idea and practice are always different, even if you don't think so now, there is nothing wrong with it, people will always change..."

"People can change, but this is the only thing, no! Her persistence has always been right!"

Cao Aiqing interrupted He Tianran's consolation. Rather than saying that she was refuting, it was more like adding confidence to another self.

He Tianran was dumbfounded for a moment, but after a while, he smiled again and nodded.

He Tianran has always known that Cao Aiqing is actually a very stubborn person under her docile appearance, she has her own persistence, and once she decides on something, it is difficult to have room for maneuver.

After she decided on the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong, she never had a second choice. Such a desperate situation, but she couldn't be persuaded by another teacher.

She likes He Tianran, but when she knew that He Tianran didn't want to fall in love, she would immediately pull away and say "I'm not sad at all, you love your moon, you pick your starlight".

Later, she knew that He Tianran still couldn't let Wenliang go, so she resolutely chose not to associate with him.

If the boy hadn't come to his senses and confessed himself, maybe there would have been another result between them.

Thinking of this, He Ranran was disappointed. Cao Aiqing, who was walking here with a cold arrow on his back, would only become more stubborn on this point.

After all, the ideal of becoming an architect is already the most complete and purest thing in her heart.

It's just that time has changed, and the trivialities revealed when the ideal is reflected in the reality is the reason why she interrupted her secular speech after she fell silent.

He Tianran doesn't understand society, but he understands "Cao Aiqing". From the first time he saw Cao Aiqing in this world, he knew that she was very tired.

"Ah~~~~"

He Tianran suddenly clasped his hands together and shouted loudly to the calm sea.

Cao Aiqing was taken aback by this move.

"It's very empty here, it's a good place to let go of your brain and relax yourself." The boy turned his head and grinned at Cao Aiqing who was dazed aside: "You want to try it too?"

It was rare for Cao Aiqing not to refuse immediately. She stared at the sea and took a deep breath.

"Ah~~~~"

The high-pitched voice startled two or three seagulls, accompanied by the ever-changing waves, which lasted for a long time.

In 1 minute, Cao Aiqing yelled two or three times intermittently, He Tianran watched her quietly, her cheeks showed a kind of reddish after hypoxia, and the humid air by the sea made her eyelashes and hair The tip is stained with a little bit of moisture.

This image is so similar to when they watched the sunrise at the beach.

Maybe this line of sight was too direct, Cao Aiqing panted heavily, stared back at him, and then said to himself:

"The theme of 'solitude' is really not suitable for Nanyan Island. To study architecture, you must actually visit the local area and experience the space with your five senses. I have spent most of my time on the island recently. This meager personal experience made me realize I realized that Nanzhi Island has changed. It is no longer the deserted fishing village in the impression of the locals in Hong Kong. It no longer needs to be alone. It is eager to change. However, what it really needs, I can’t be very precise. To sum it up, I...haven't figured it out yet."

For some reason, Cao Aiqing expressed her confusion at work by accident, maybe it was because she took it lightly after shouting twice, maybe it was... She also hoped in her heart that this He Tianran could understand what she was talking about what.

He is still so young, and sometimes so childish, does he really not understand anything?
No, Cao Aiqing could tell that this He Tianran actually knew a lot of things, but he didn't want to do that.

The same is true for the other He Tianran, but all of them are patience for revenge.

And this He Tianran is purely because he likes to maintain this state.

He doesn't have the habit of hiding his true nature as a social person, and the boy's willfulness and innocence are written on his face without hesitation. In this strange world, this is a very fatal point, and it is something Cao Aiqing has long since abandoned. Things, but it was such a boy, Cao Aiqing felt a rare lightness during the short half-day time he was with him.

Cao Aiqing didn't need any answers to what he said to him, but simply said it, and her mood would be inexplicably better.

He Tianran lowered his head and pondered for a while. When he raised his head again, he said in a deep voice:
"I think what Nanzhidao wants should be 'new students'..."

Cao Aiqing's bright eyes shone slightly.

"go on."

"Well... as you said just now, the local people's impression of Nanzhi Island is desolate. Even though the local policy supports it vigorously, such things as concepts are deeply rooted. If you want to break the shackles of the old impression, you have to present a brand new one. This is where the concept of "new life" comes from. If you design a building that allows tourists to re-understand the island, feel the vigorous vitality and communicate with it, it is not in line with your philosophy of studying architecture and Is it the original intention?"

"And this is a theme that can't go wrong. Whether it is my mother or the local government, even if they will not accept this proposal, they will not immediately reject it, because the concept is correct and false at the same time. , it’s just a concept, as for how to express it, how to fill the skeleton and flesh, that’s up to you.”

After He Tianran finished speaking, he had mixed feelings, but he didn't expect that what happened to him was so similar to an island.

It is true that his words are not golden words, but after listening to Cao Aiqing, he did get a lot of inspiration and inspiration. Those who can empathize with an island and extract emotions from it are undoubtedly the people who can do this. superior.

In fact, Cao Aiqing also had a similar idea, but as she said, she hadn't figured it out yet, and the word "new life" just woke her up.

"Thank you for your advice, it worked for me."

Cao Aiqing turned around, facing He Tianran, and said sincerely.

She thought that He Tianran would take the opportunity to tease her, but the boy stretched out his hand and said something like this -

"I'm your friend now, right? Although I'm not a good friend yet, I will be a good friend one day!"

This sentence was what the other party said when he and Cao Aiqing were on their first date.

This is their beginning.

Cao Aiqing hesitated for two seconds, and finally stretched out her hand...

The two hands were supposed to hold each other in mid-air, but at this moment, Cao Aiqing's hand passed through He Tianran's strangely, and the hold was empty.

All this inconceivable happened so suddenly, the boy's palm was still in that position, but it seemed to have turned into a phantom.

He Tianran hurriedly withdrew his arm, shook it twice resentfully, and joked:
"Hey, I didn't eat tofu, it's a pity..."

"you……"

"It's okay, it's just the sequelae of the traverser, it will be fine in a while." He Tianran gave the answer casually.

He didn't seem to want to continue the topic, and said, "By the way, take a picture of me!"

After all, He Tianran didn't wait for Cao Aiqing to agree, he stuffed the mobile phone into her hand, and then ran to his little e-donkey by himself, posing in a pose that he thought was cool.

Cao Aiqing was still shocked by the scene just now, and the boy said impatiently: "Hey, stop staring, my face is frozen with laughter."

The woman came back to her senses, she turned on the camera, clicked, and recorded this moment.

He Tianran ran over, looked at the photos for a few seconds, and was very satisfied with his appearance. There was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes, and said:

"Wen Liang told me that she wants to teach me how to ride a motorcycle. Now that I have learned how to ride a small electric donkey, I don't think I need her to teach me how to ride a motorcycle. Hahaha, I want to send this photo to her to tease her on purpose." .”

"Does she... know about your situation?"

"Ah? What's the situation?"

Seeing that He Tianran was pretending to be stupid, Cao Aiqing didn't ask any more questions.

……

The message sent by the boy did not get a reply immediately. It is estimated that Wen Liang is also very busy. In the following time, the two rode a small electric donkey and wandered around the island, eating, drinking, playing, and watching the clouds. Cirrus Yunshu, it's really a joy.

It's just that the good time is short-lived after all. When the sun went down, they also boarded the small ferry back to the port city.

Cao Aiqing is going to rehearse at the hotel where the wedding will be held tomorrow, so He Tianran naturally has no reason to stay on the island.

"Really... don't you want to see your mother? I know where she lives on the island."

Before boarding the boat, Cao Aiqing stopped and asked He Tianran.

"No, go back. People who don't want to see you, even if they do, it doesn't mean much."

He Ranran lightly excused himself, silently glanced back at the entire island, and walked into the cabin.

Cao Aiqing hesitated for a moment, then followed him in and sat beside him.

The sun sank into the sea bit by bit, night fell, and the ferry slowly started sailing.

The deep blue and tranquility of the sea make people feel very peaceful. Cao Aiqing turned her head and watched He Tianran pick up his mobile phone to send messages from time to time, as if he was having a good chat with someone.

There was a gloomy look in her eyes.

"Aren't you... planning to settle accounts with another He Ranran?"

"Ah? Ah... yes."

"So what's your plan next?"

"There are indeed many plans, but..." He Tianran hesitated to speak.

"Just what?"

He Tianran sighed and put the phone aside.

"It's nothing, I just don't want you to be involved in my relationship with him."

"If you need anything, you can..."

"Happy wedding."

"..."

A blessing from He Tianran brought Cao Aiqing, who had forgotten her troubles all day, back to reality.

Yes, as soon as the day after tomorrow is over, she will be a wife and live a good life with her husband. From then on, the focus of her life will be on her family, no matter whether the two He Tianran love Wen Liang or not. Hate it or not, it's someone else's love story after all.

After thinking about it, Cao Aiqing suddenly smiled.

"Thank you, He Tianran. Today, I really experienced the happiness of another me."

The boy sniffed and fell back on the seat. He shook his head, and his voice was a little tired:
"It's nothing... This is the only thing I can do for you in this world, and I also hope that through today's performance, I can let you understand that even if I am not Guo Huai, I can use my own way, Protect Cao Aiqing who belongs to me."

"But you... What if you can't return to the world that belongs to you? Or, will you stay here forever?"

The woman looked at the weak him worriedly, but still couldn't help asking.

"If I stay here and I can't go back, then I will always stay by Wen Liang's side."

The mobile phone in He Ranran's hand was vibrating all the time. He picked it up again and looked at the message he had received. The faint light of the screen hit his weak face. He didn't know what he saw. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time. .

And this smile finally made Cao Aiqing ask a question that had been lingering in her heart all day.

"Wen Liang and...the other me, who do you like more?"

The boy's finger, which was about to send a message, stopped.

Wen Liang in this world would not ask this question, because she loves herself, she doesn't want to see herself in trouble, she just wants to enjoy the hard-won time with He Tianran; Cao Aiqing in another world would not ask, because she knows The warmth that He Tianran loved has become a thing of the past, and now they only have each other in their hearts.

Therefore, it is only natural for this question to be asked from the mouth of this outsider Cao Aiqing.

She had seen everything and knew everything, that's why she asked this question.

In fact, not only her, but everyone who knows the two past events of He Tianran may have this question.

He Tianran, who is he in love with? A little bit more.

It is one, the person who changes you; or the other, the person who accompanies you.

Just like a coin always flips out heads and tails, so are feelings. Of course, one person can fall in love with two people at the same time, but when two equally precious loves are placed in front of him, the human heart is not a scale after all, it is not It will always stay in the middle, it will be biased.

And this bias can be clearly felt by people.

Fortunately, He Tianran has never encountered such a situation. He just got rid of one relationship and devoted himself to another relationship. He didn't let anyone down. In the correct position, he can reply confidently to this:

"When Wen Liang was still there, I loved Wen Liang more; after Ai Qing was with me, I loved Ai Qing even more, so if you ask me who I love more deeply, I can only say that I love those around me more. This is not an excuse. It's not pretending to be confused, it's a fact. I'm lucky, because these two situations don't exist at the same time, maybe one day I really need to make a choice, I may hesitate, but my heart, definitely not .”

He Tianran gave a wry smile for the last time, and closed his eyes with a weary expression.

Cao Aiqing was silent for a long time after listening to his answer.

Unknowingly, her shoulders sank, and He Ranran's head limply rested on her shoulders, and the mobile phone in his hand fell to the ground.

"Can we... still meet?" She asked softly, not daring to look at him.

"Will it be at your wedding the day after tomorrow... Let's forget it... Even though I know you are not the one I love... But my heart is not so open-minded... Telling you a happy wedding is already my love for you Biggest blessing...because I really... hope you are happy..."

The boy's voice became weaker and weaker, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Didn't it be agreed... can we become good friends in the future?"

Cao Aiqing asked again stubbornly, but this time, she never heard a response.

In this way, Cao Aiqing silently felt the gradually disappearing weight on her shoulders. She felt that her vision was a little blurred, and she reached out to touch it carefully, and there were some tears on her fingertips.

Originally, one should not be sad for a foreigner.

"So, I got tricked again... right?"

In the cabin, such a sentence echoed.

I don't know how long it took, the boat docked.

On the shore, the bustling port city is brightly lit.

There was no one around Cao Aiqing.

In her hand, there are two more things.

One is He Ranran's cell phone that fell on the ground. In the chat box between him and Wen Liang, there was a message that was not sent successfully. It said such a line——

"I wish I could see you now."

And the other one is the string of bodhi seeds that He Tianran always wears on his wrist.

Cao Aiqing stared at these two things obsessively, without moving for a long time.

Wen Liang's news is still being sent over and over again.

"Why don't you talk anymore? You're playing crazy and ignore me, aren't you?"

"How is your chat with Cao Aiqing today? I warn you, someone else is getting married soon, so don't make any wrong decisions!! You must obediently wait for me to come back!!"

"What's the matter...you haven't replied to me...I'm really angry!"

"What happened to the photo you sent me? Why are you not in the photo?"

Cao Aiqing looked at the messages that kept popping up, her finger hovered over the send button, but when she was about to press it, she hesitated again...

Then, she made a move that even she couldn't explain...

She completely deleted the sentence that she didn't send out...

At this time, the phone rang, and Cao Aiqing was taken aback. The name on the screen was very strange, called "Old Classmate".

"He Tianran!! You bastard!! Don't scare me on purpose! Why don't you reply to my message?? Do you know how worried I am about you! I almost booked a plane ticket and came back to find you, don't..."

"Hey?"

Maybe it was the connection of the phone, which made Wen Liang on the other end feel relieved. Her tone was full of tears, and she would scold her head and face if she didn't care about it. However, when she heard that it wasn't He Tianran who answered the phone, her voice, It stopped in an instant.

"Are you...Ai Qing? He Tianran...he...he's with you, isn't he?"

On the phone, the cool voice trembled.

"he's gone."

"Yes...you're home, right? Ah...sorry, I...will call home later, he must have left the phone with you..."

"He's gone, disappeared. Maybe...he returned to his own world..."

Cao Aiqing looked at the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she knew that if the boy He Tianran said before, maybe...he would not return to the original world.

"No... No... He won't leave without saying goodbye... He must have left a message for you before he left, asking you to tell me something, right?"

Facing Wen Liang's out-of-control question, Cao Aiqing lowered her eyes and said two words coldly:

"No."

　The third volume is officially coming to an end, and there are about [-] to [-] words left.
