So red that everything is black

Chapter 78 Big Red (Eighteen)
Wen Xinlan didn't want to cause trouble to them, so she lied casually, "We are talking about a group of common people who are eagerly looking forward to watching the fireworks. And Teacher Pei's Xiao Qilang should be watching the moonlight at the moment!"

Xiao Qilang admiring the moon alone is a classic scene in Pei Yuan's new book "A Coop of Smoke and Rain".

In the book, the male protagonist Xiao Qilang attacks eight cities in a row, leads his army to kill the enemy in bloody battles, and finally kills his enemy. When the dramatic conflict reaches its peak, the rhythm suddenly relaxes and falls, which is a stroke of genius.

Pei Yuan did not expect that Wen Xinlan not only read his new book, but was also willing to take the initiative to chat about his characters.

He tried his best to conceal his inner excitement, stood between the two of them, and explained: "Actually, Xiao Qilang doesn't want to watch the moonlight alone. It's just that his Bai Yueguang is not around, and no one can watch the fireworks with him."

When Cui Ning heard the second half of the sentence, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

In vain, Cui Ning had fantasized about countless gorgeous words, just so that she could praise him a few times when they met, so as to make him even half happy.

But no matter how much homework he did, it could not defeat him with a lie that the woman made up casually.

Even though the woman was of ordinary origin and not considered a beauty, she was not even the best at writing.

But she does have the ability to stir up waves in his heart.

Just like how excited and happy he was at the moment.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the light of fireworks illuminated the entire terrace.

"It's time to set off the fireworks!" People in the room heard the sound and ran to the terrace to spread out. "It's started! Come out quickly!"

"Wow! So beautiful!" Zhen Nuan also held up her mobile phone and trotted all the way from the house to Wen Xinlan, ready to start shooting.

"Oh!"

At the second loud noise, Cui Ning suddenly pulled Zhen Nuan and looked at Ye Xuesong behind Pei Yuan, "Zhen Nuan, the angle on the left is better for shooting! I'll take you there to shoot. ! Teacher Xuesong, please come and take pictures together!"

Ye Xuesong was born and raised in Haicheng. This was not his first time watching a fireworks show and he had no desire to take photos.Just when he was about to reject Cui Ning, he was suddenly reminded by Pei Yuan's twinkling eyes, and instantly understood that Cui Ning was covering for Pei Yuan in order to give them space to talk alone.

Ye Xuesong understood, patted Zhen Nuan on the shoulder, and echoed: "Yes, it's better to take pictures over there. Let me help you take pictures with the fireworks!"

How could Zhen Nuan resist such temptation, and walked directly with Cui Ning and Ye Xuesong a few meters away to take pictures.

Only Wen Xinlan and Pei Yuan were left at the original railing.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several cannons were fired one after another, and flowers bloomed on the river.

Brilliant, majestic, poignant, short, and fallen.

The fireworks at this time were like many passers-by in her life.

Light up her night path.

But he left cruelly.

reduced to ashes.

The smoke from the burning spread uncontrollably, making her eyes sore.

As yellow, red, pink and purple fireworks bloomed one after another, Haicheng was completely lit up at night and became the most dazzling pearl in the East.

But Wen Xinlan looked and looked and looked, with two drops of clear tears silently shed from the corners of her eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Pei Yuan spoke first, breaking the long silence.

"It's nothing, just thinking about the past year."

"Still can't forget your ex-boyfriend?"

Wen Xinlan shook her head.

Pei Yuan comforted: "In our childhood, there was a saying about space signature. Girls should have stars and sea in their eyes, not that bastard!" Wen Xinlan burst into laughter, "I didn't expect Teacher Pei to say it too." Such a tacky internet joke.”

"I am a vulgar person. There are not many good people in this world."

Wen Xinlan wiped away her tears casually, "But I want to hear Teacher Pei say something nice to describe the fireworks at this moment."

Pei Yuan thought for a long time.

He said word for word in an almost extremely serious tone: "When I first met you, my heart exploded into fireworks, and it took me a lifetime to clean the ashes."

Silence.

Deathly silence.

The violent sound of fireworks exploding seemed to be lost in their ears.

Just to hear her answer clearly.

Wen Xinlan was silent for a long time, then stiffly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Teacher Pei, don't bully me for not studying well. I know this is Mr. Qian's famous saying. It's not yours."

Pei Yuan hurriedly used jokes to cover up his embarrassment, "It's over! It's just a lie to an ordinary little girl. I forgot that Teacher Guifu is an expert. The secret is exposed! The secret is exposed!"

There are fireworks on trees, falling stars like rain, and fireworks on the river are in full bloom.

How did Wen Xinlan know that Pei Yuan's words and sentences at this moment, in this situation, were one word and three words?

The first time Pei Yuan met Wen Xinlan was in a hotel by the Jinjiang River.

Moreover, on the day they met for the first time, his heart really exploded into fireworks.

At the same time, Qian Zhongshu and his wife Yang Jiang, who said this famous saying, are also writers.

No matter how many languages ​​there are in the world, the one that best expresses his true feelings is Qian Lao's love words.

Pei Yuan had noticed Wen Xinlan since her car accident in June made news.

Every day after they met, Pei Yuan was always curious about what kind of person she was.

He wanted to get close to her, he wanted to uncover her mystery.

No matter it turns out to be the same kind of people, or completely opposite people.

He loves it.

Wen Xinlan seemed to feel the sincerity of the other party, so she opened the scar and talked about the unforgettable past in her heart.

"Actually, I have been with my ex-boyfriend for so long, and I never thought it would end like this. If he had been willing to admit his mistakes to me that day, I might have forgiven him."

"But he didn't." Pei Yuan had paid to buy the video of their breakup in the restaurant, and knew that Tong Lu not only did not admit his mistake, but instead accused Wen Xinlan of cheating.

"Yes, he didn't. He wouldn't even say an apology to me. It's not as good as Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong, who were willing to apologize to me for their son."

I think of that first snow, of the green years we walked hand in hand, of the small house we renovated together in Wencheng, of the rivers we traveled through countless times, of the bits and pieces of the past seven years, of the person who will never come back again. , Wen Xinlan's vision was blurred by tears, and the fine colorful fireworks turned into mottled color blocks.

"My seven years of youth, the best seven years of youth, I can't survive. I can't survive anymore."

One drop after another, the tears kept falling.

Pei Yuan took out a tissue, gently wiped her cheek, and comforted her in a deep voice:
"Xinlan, the biggest regret in life is always regretting the past."

"There is no point in dwelling on the past. The place in the past does not belong to you."

"Move forward, don't look back. You deserve a better future, you belong to a better future."
