falling angel

Chapter 20

The car stopped slowly at the edge of the city.There are not too many lights here, but there is a boundless sky.

"Come down and walk!"

"In a place like this?" I looked at him warily.

There is a soft smile on the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Yao, I know that I am not qualified to let you trust me after meeting twice. But, I still want to ask you to treat this world and the people around you a little more Trust, otherwise you cannot feel true happiness."

"It seems to understand people's psychology very well, how much do you understand me?" I don't want others to speculate too much on my thoughts.

He turned his face and stared intently into my eyes: "Some people don't necessarily understand each other even if they meet every day; while some people, even if they meet only once, feel that it is too late to meet each other. Knowing a person is not about knowing each other. Use time to accumulate, but heart." After finishing speaking, he did not give me a chance to express his opinion, but pushed the car door, got out of the car, and opened the door on the other side for me very gentlemanly.

"I'll take you to a place I'm sure you'll like."

I don't want to say anything, the day is so long and heart-wrenching - inexplicable.The moon is very big, hanging far away in the sky that can never be touched.It's not a full moon, it's a bit like a woman who has accidentally gained weight, walking enchantingly, in the clouds.There are more stars on the outskirts of the city, and the air smells fresh of grass and earth.Insects at night are always lonely, singing a love song that no one can understand.Some flowers are like clouds, blooming in layers, exuding an elegant fragrance.While walking, the moon came out quietly from behind the clouds, illuminating the gravel path under the feet very clearly, those flowers, dazzling white, they are actually——

"Yes, they are gardenias." Zhang Shaoyang saw my surprised expression.

"But now, it's the beginning of July, and the gardenias have already passed their flowering period?"

Zhang Shaoyang smiled, with a bright smile that made the moon look ashamed: "Bai Juyi has a poem "Peach Blossoms in Daming Temple", in which there is a sentence: the world is full of beauty in April, and the peach blossoms in mountain temples begin to bloom. It is said that the temperature on the mountain is much lower than that on the flat land, Therefore, the flowers wither much later. It is very similar to the situation in this place."

When he said this, I really felt the unusual coldness of this place.

"What kind of mountain is this? Are these gardenias wild?"

Zhang Shaoyang shook his head, and the smile on his face narrowed: "On this mountain, a woman who loved me the most was buried. After she left, I created these flowers here, these flowers that she loved the most during her lifetime."

"Is she yours?"

"She is my grandma." A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, like a shooting star, and disappeared quickly.

"You... have been living with grandma?"

He smiled: "You want to ask if I have any other relatives?"

"Oh, not really, just asking casually."

He put away his smile: "I used to have a mother, but she abandoned me and married a rich man."

My heart ached slightly - such a sunny boy actually had a similar experience to mine. "Do you hate her?"

He shook his head: "Grandma said that everyone is a star in the sky, and he has to burn with his whole life. And every star has its own trajectory. Sliding out of the track and falling down. So, mother has mother's life, and I have mine." After finishing speaking, he gave me a deep look.

I looked away because I didn't want him to notice the hatred in my eyes.

"But what would you do if a derailed star crashed into your orbit?"

"persist in."

I looked at him puzzled: "Persist?"

"Stick to the path you should take. You should have your own life, not live in the shadow of others. Don't hate, try to be happy! Forget the past, forget all the misfortunes in the past."

I was silent, smelling the clear fragrance of gardenias, I suddenly became sober.After that, I heard my icy voice burst out with anger from my throat: "Who are you? Did he send you here?"

"..."

"Why do you know my feelings for gardenias? And why are you talking nonsense about stars and orbits? How much money did he pay you to be a lobbyist? You give up! Don't pretend to be a savior Look, you don't know anything!"

"Xiao Yao? I don't know what you're talking about."

I grabbed his collar and looked into his eyes warningly: "Don't act. Go back and tell him that the greatest misfortune in my life is that I took his last name."

I turned around, raised my head, stepped on the moonlight all over the ground, and tried my best not to let tears flow down.I felt that he didn't want to catch up, but just quietly said a few heavy words: "Do you know who I am?"

Do you know who I am?I was stunned by this inexplicable sentence, and my premonition told me that Zhang Shaoyang would reveal a shocking secret to me.I stopped, turned my head and stared at him blankly: such a handsome young man, with such a beautiful and young face, but the sunny smile was hidden, and there was a sad expression on his face that did not belong to him.

"Xiao Yao, my mother's surname is Luo."
