We said yes, forever

Chapter 36 The End of the Maze (3)
With a meager salary, I wandered the mall for a long time, lingering in front of the beautiful clothes, my eyes full of longing, but in the end I just bought myself my favorite blueberry cake and sat in the square where people come and go, Watch passers-by while eating cake.

I feed stray cats in a small park near my home and take many pictures of them.

23 At the end of that year, I returned to City B dejectedly, met a man who could paint, and began to receive oil paintings from him often, and the oil paintings were all about her.

At the bus station at night, Gu Zi was listening to music, turned her head, and found the man who could draw was waving and smiling at her.

The man took her to the beach to gather scenery, and knelt down to her under a tree.

Meet his kids and laugh a little stiffly in a loud McDonald's.

I started to go out with him, and gradually there was a bright smile on my face.

On my 23rd birthday, I waited until midnight at the door of my house, but I didn’t get a mysterious gift. I read over and over again with four cards from the sea in my hand, and sat alone on the stairs listening to Faye Wong’s song.

In the early morning of the next day, I found a letter at the door of my house, which still contained a ticket to City A and a card for the sea, but the coconut tree had grown a bit.

At the age of 24, regardless of the objections of her boyfriend and family, she must return to City A to work hard.

I found a job in Yuji in a magazine, and excitedly made phone calls on the street.

In the middle of the night, he followed a starlet to the entrance of the nightclub, but was discovered by Qin Mu's bodyguards, and was dragged to him in embarrassment.

Living alone, leisurely shopping for vegetables and picking fruits in the supermarket.

Being bullied by a starlet, splashing water all over her body, she began to pay attention to her new job, but she still decided to do it.

Traveling through the crowds at night, we stopped in front of a huge LED screen. The slogan on the LED was: I want to have a home.

Her boyfriend Sheng Kuang came to City A to look for her and wanted to stay, but was rejected. The two had a fierce argument on the street in front of their house.

Reconciled again, the two went shopping hand in hand with happy smiles on their faces.

Passing by the bridal shop, a man looked up at the gorgeous wedding dress in the window, his face full of yearning.

On my 24th birthday, I went home specially and waited at the door until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that I was covered with a black suit. I found a bouquet of roses at my feet. I was looking for and shouting in the street like crazy with the suit. Asked aloud, "Who are you? Who are you? Where are you?" But no one answered.

Under the cherry blossom tree, after hesitating for a long time, he smiled and agreed to his boyfriend's marriage proposal.

After her boyfriend left, she sat alone on the steps in front of her house for a long time, accompanied by only the lonely street lamp in the middle of the night.

Ding Dong covered his mouth and wept bitterly.

Behind those photos are her youthful years mixed with pain and happiness. In those black and white images, she sees sad, happy, lonely, desperate and happy herself.

She laughed when she wanted to, cried when she wanted to, and released herself as she wanted. She didn't know that someone had been watching her secretly for so many years.

Does he laugh when she laughs, and does his heart ache when she cries?

Yes, starting from the age of 19, every year on her birthday, she always returned home with a feeling of waiting, and even blushed and asked the boss for leave, just to wait for that mysterious gift on that night. The sea card is her yearly expectation and the dawn of her life.

The waiting for that day every year seems to be an instinct, and that expectation is deeply planted in her heart. It is an agreement between her and that person, and it is also their tacit secret.

It turned out that he didn't suddenly appear in her life, it turned out that he was already there, and he never left for seven years.

He has been peeking at her from places she doesn't know, with those affectionate eyes.

Watching alone for seven years, he only stopped hiding himself on that day every year, and handed her a blue card in his way. What did he pass on to her? Does the coconut tree mean anything to him?

Tears gushed out of his eyes like unthreaded beads. Ding Dong cried so much that he couldn't help himself. During the seven long years of ignorance, what mood did he use to watch her every move, and even watched her hold hands with other men on a date? .

But since he couldn't let her go, why didn't he come earlier, why didn't he just watch her fall into someone else's arms and become someone else's fiancée.

At 19, it was time for them to be together.

He is watching alone, so why hasn't she been waiting for many years?

They have wasted so many years.

The lights in the room suddenly turned on, Ding Dong turned around, and met the man at the door with sad eyes.

Qin Yuan's eyes were moist, and he stared at her obsessively.

Ding Dong's body trembled involuntarily the moment he saw him, crying, "Why? Why?"

"Baby." Qin Yuan stepped forward and held out his hand to her.

Ding Dong backed away again and again, shouting hysterically, "Why?! Why did you do this! Since you decided to disappear from my life, why did you come back?!"

Qin Yuan rushed forward and hugged her, who was almost collapsed, and said with a sob, "Baby listen to me..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen!" Ding Dong covered his face and cried bitterly, "How could you do this, how could you...".

Qin Yuan patiently patted the thin shoulders of his lover in his arms, once and for all, as if treating a fragile doll.

There are pictures on the whole wall in front of him, each one is familiar to the bone marrow, tears in his eyes, "Baby, give me time to listen to my explanation, okay?"

Ding Dong cried until her shoulders trembled, feeling infinitely wronged, she was silent in the memory of those old photos and couldn't extricate herself, "I wait every year...I obviously wait...but...why did you come back..."

She was obviously waiting for him every year, looking forward to something, but every year's waiting was in vain, and that kind of disappointment would make her depressed for a while.

In the end, she even convinced herself that it was a boring person's game and that she should just laugh it off and move on with her life.

So she fell in love, she chose a man, and wanted to spend the rest of her life hand in hand with him.

But after she personally killed the hope in his heart, he chose to intervene in her life at this time.

Ding Dong cried even harder and even started to beat Qin Yuan. They could have had a better start, why did he reappear in such a cruel way, making her life completely unrecognizable.

Qin Yuan's heart was agitated, and he hugged Ding Dong even tighter with red eyes, "I'm sorry baby, come back to me, let me use the rest of my life to repay you, okay?"

Ding Dong lowered his head and covered his face, feeling confused, "I don't know, I don't know anything."

Qin Yuan raised her chin, looked at her tearful eyes, lowered his head and tenderly kissed away the hot tears on her face, "Hey, don't be afraid, there is no one in this world who will stop us anymore."

Ding Dong's eyelashes trembled slightly, at this moment she was like a sad and docile cat.

"We went there, what happened?" She scratched her head, her face troubled, "Why can't I remember anything?"

"Don't worry," Qin Yuan took her hand, "come with me."

Qin Yuan dragged Ding Dong to sit on the only sofa in the room, and then turned on the projector. Ding Dong stared at the projection wall without blinking, and his expression began to show uneasiness.

Qin Yuan, who was beside him, sensed her uneasiness, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, that's our past."

Ding Dong was stunned, "That tree..."

Light and shadow flashed on Qin Yuan's serious face, sometimes dark and sometimes bright.

"That was the place where we first kissed, that tree, which witnessed our love." He said affectionately in her ear.

Qin Yuan looked at the woman in his arms, with sadness in his eyes, "How many typhoons and tsunamis have passed, but the tree is still there, so I believe that this is God's will, our love is not dead, if life happens again, you will still choose love I."

"I don't know anything, I actually don't know anything." Ding Dong was about to cry, the series of blows tonight made her a little unbearable.

"For so many years, I haven't thought of you at all."

Seeing that Ding Dong fell into deep self-reproach, fearing that she would collapse again, Qin Yuanrou smiled and stroked her back, pointing to the smiling girl on the projection wall, "Look baby, you are 18 years old!"

Ding Dong turned his head with a dull expression, and froze again.

On the wall, a beautiful girl with shofar braids smiles wildly at the camera. She is sweet and delicate, like a luminous body, gathering all the light in the world, so beautiful that people can't move their eyes.The sun was shining on her, and behind her was the blue sea. She was wearing a short skirt, imitating Marilyn Monroe's classic gesture of covering the skirt, with a youthful and charming face.

In the next picture, she is wearing a high school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, walking on the seaside road, looking back and smiling, her hair is still messy and cute.

Next, she was squatting in the flowerbed, squinting and smiling, beside Huahua who was also smiling foolishly, and in front of them was the wooden sign that read: Sheep and Huahua's Secret Garden.

In the last photo, Qin Yuan, a 23-year-old cool, tall and beautiful boy, appeared in the photo. His handsome face was young and arrogant, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and a beautiful girl in suspender jeans stood side by side with him, with beautiful and pure big eyes But she didn't look at the camera, but turned her head to look at the tall and handsome boy next to her with a worried face, as if she was not sure whether he would like to be in the camera with her.

Qin Yuan's eyes were also fixed on the delicate and jerky face on the wall. This photo once accompanied him through the night in a foreign land, and now the person who misses him obediently stays in his arms, his eyelashes wet with tears, There was also a softness in his heart.

He hated his younger self.

This is the only photo of them together, and at that time he was still an illegitimate child with an awkward and withdrawn personality. Although he yearned for warmth, he habitually rejected the only sunshine in his life.

Ding Dong begged Zhou Jingxuan to take that photo for them. She begged for a long time before he reluctantly agreed.

At that time, he hadn't fully figured out what he wanted for the girl beside him. In front of his friends, he didn't hold her hand. Although he had a cold expression at that time, he actually loved her cautious expression to death, as if he wanted to get close but didn't Like a small animal that dares to approach, he just wants to smile and ravage him.

In fact, she is not the only person who wants to get close but dare not get close?

Qin Yuan stretched out his hand quietly, took the cold little hand of the person in his arms, and vowed never to let go.

His lips kissed her ear lingeringly, "Look, how stupid you were at that time."

Ding Dong stared at him stupidly, like a beautiful and dull doll, she has not recovered from a series of realities.

She felt that she was dreaming, and liked the dream, but she was afraid that she would suddenly wake up the next moment. She was still the same Ding Dong who had nothing.

She always thought that her youth was monotonous and boring, there was no prince charming, no heartbeat, only the exhausting studies.

But it turned out that her youth had once burned wantonly on that beach like a raging fire.

She stared straight at the photo, and her soft voice gently teased people's hearts, "At that time, I seemed like a fool."

"Two fools in love." Qin Yuan whispered into her ear with a smile.

Ding Dong turned his head, with longing on his face, "Tell me, everything. I can't think of it, you tell me everything."

Qin Yuan stroked her cheek, "I will, baby, but we have a more important thing to do now."

In the next second, he could no longer restrain his surging love for his lover, stood up and hugged her, opened the door and walked out.
