Death was sometimes a kind of beauty.
The sun began to set slowly. It was about to be devoured by the blurry outline, but at the last moment, it shone all its light selflessly on the earth.
The setting sun was like a full stop at the end of the sky, hanging on the edge of death with sorrow. However, the moment it left, it showed its light to all things in the world.
Although the summer in the North Second Ring Road was full of grass, Noel was still a city in Inner Mongolia. On the empty grassland, there were patches of golden afterglow. Every grass was like a probe of life. In the last period of the day, they tried their best to probe the depth of life. Today, the seemingly endless road stretched into the distance in the afterglow of the setting sun.
In the cold and beautiful dusk, Edward was chewing on his own different degrees of blood-colored sorrow. The clouds in the west were dyed by the setting sun like surging blood, flowing in the bodies of everyone who was sad.
"Brother, thank you. The only happiness I had in coming to No. 3 High School was to meet you.”Leng Liang spoke.
"We're all brothers.”Edward said as he casually took a sip of beer.
"I don't know how to live without you these few days.”Liang Liang said as she lit her cigarette again and started smoking meaningfully.
" Hehe," Edward chuckled." You've already survived that when you were young. Don't tell me you'll be defeated now."”
Liang Liang did not answer him in a hurry. Instead, she took a deep puff of the cigarette. The smoke seemed to be burning with loneliness. In the fog, she could see Liang Liang's gloomy face."Brother, love is the most heartbreaking thing. Love is drinking poison with a smile. You know you're going to die, but you have to look forward to it.”
" Hehe." Edward smiled helplessly." Maybe."”
In the teahouse…
Sorrow flowed against the current like a river.
The two women's tears seemed to have drowned out everything here. Everyone seemed to be enveloped in this light purple sorrow, faintly stabbing into the deepest parts of everyone's hearts.
Love and kinship were intertwined in this small teahouse. Regret and misunderstanding were mixed in this small space.
Two women crying for a man.
"Sophie, I know my request is unreasonable and ignorant, but no matter what, I hope you can give him a chance, and also give yourself a chance. Although he is not a good child, he is the most important person in our lives.”The Lady Boss was still crying. She had lost count of how many tears she had shed today.
Sophie was also crying. Her tears had blurred her misunderstanding. Looking at her love on the verge of death, looking at her grieving mother in front of her, the maternal surname and love in her body were completely awakened.
"Auntie, I'm the same as you. Actually, I've never given up on him.”Sophie was very calm.
A sentence of longing and anticipation. The Lady Boss had finally done something for her son. Excitement, gratitude, doubt, and countless other emotions erupted in her heart.
"Thank you, child. Auntie, thank you. You will definitely be happy in the future.”The lady boss was crying and laughing. She couldn't control her emotions. She thanked him and left.
But she had just reached the door of the teahouse
"You're a good mother. Meeting you is my blessing.”Sophie suddenly shouted at the door.
Suddenly, she turned her head. The Lady Boss's tearful eyes seemed to reveal ten thousand kinds of emotions, but she did not say anything. Only two drops of crystal clear tears flowed across her cheeks and lips. Finally, they fell silently to the ground, forming an invisible pattern.
The sun in the North Second Ring Road had been completely devoured, and darkness once again spread to every corner of Noel.
"Brother, you go back first. This bro wants to be alone for a while.”Leng Liang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
"Alright then." Edward agreed. He didn't ask for the reason. After spending a year together, he knew that Leng Liang had always been like this.
Edward left without a word, leaving behind a lonely chill. Looking into the distance, he suddenly remembered a place, a place where they had pledged their love. It had been a long time since he had gone there.
He carried his bag and arrived at the diamond in a short while.
A huge diamond was still being played around. Neon lights of various colors were like demons that could see through people's minds. They casually extended their claws to humans. Greed, selfishness, resentment, sadness, narrow-mindedness, and cruelty instantly turned this place into a purgatory on earth, waiting for people to fall.
She opened the door and went in, but she didn't see Brother Li today. Instead, it was another boss. Leng Liang couldn't be bothered with him. She found a relatively quiet place and ordered a glass of beer to drink casually.
Looking at the swaying, squirming, frivolous, and presumptuous men and women on the dance floor, he felt an indescribable sense of disdain today. He had grown up in KYV, but it was only today that he clearly saw its evil. He understood that this was not a place to relieve stress, seek pleasure, and have fun, but a base camp for resentment, indulgence, and emptiness.
Leng Liang drank and smoked as she recalled the scenes with Sophie. He had hurt her back then. In the end, she sang in Tianci and got into a fight. Although she was injured that time, she had received Sophie's love. Today, she was healthy, but she did not know where Sophie was.
Following the flickering lights, looking at those seemingly fashionable men and women, listening to the ear-piercing high-decibel noise, smelling the pungent alcohol and perfume, thinking about the heart-wrenching Sophie, time also fell with this cold and decadent bit by bit.
It was almost eleven o'clock at night.
Liang Liang was about to leave. He didn't take anything with him, but he left an ashtray full of cigarette butts and empty bottles on the table. But strangely, he couldn't even get drunk on beer today.
Pushing the door open, he felt much quieter. He stood at the crossroad, not knowing where to go. He was once again lonely in this city that he had lived in for eighteen years. Where to go? Xiao Sen and the others would probably be asleep by now. After thinking about it, he decided to go back to his so-called home.
The dim yellow light seemed to be able to penetrate his body. It was light and he did not seem to be walking. It was more like his soul had been sucked out and his body was strolling.
Under the light, he wandered for a while…
Suddenly, a miracle happened. A familiar figure appeared under the light. She was tall and slender. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he would never forget this figure. It was Sophie.
Liang Liang was excited and even a little crazy. When she wanted to see the person she loved the most, she unexpectedly appeared. What kind of joy was this?
In the face of love, it seemed as if distance could be ignored, and she rushed over like a cold lightning bolt. He grabbed Sophie's hand. The moment he grabbed her hand, he felt every cell in his body was excited, but the face under the light made every cell bleed. Her eyes were pale and haggard, and her eyes were already slightly dark. The net of blood was tightly wrapped around her two eyes that were as pure as autumn water. Her hair was messy, and her lips were dry.
"Fei 'er." He did not know how to express his guilt when he saw Sophie, who looked like a ghost.
"I've finally waited for you today." Sophie's dry eyes welled up with tears as she buried herself in his cold embrace.
They hugged Sophie in such a familiar way. They did not speak, but just hugged each other silently. Everything around them froze, and there was no noise. This night seemed to be prepared for them. They could only hear the sound of two broken hearts slowly healing under the catalyst of love.
"Have you been waiting for me these past few days?" Leng Liang asked gently as she hugged Sophie, who seemed to be melting.
"Yes." Sophie replied slowly," I just want an explanation from you. Even if it's news of you and Yuxue getting back together, I don't care. I just want an explanation from you.”At this moment, Sophie cried even harder as she spoke of the grievances in her heart.
"Then I'll tell you now. There's nothing going on between Yuxue and me. I only have sympathy for her now. I love you, and it will always be you. No matter how much resistance I have, I will love you without hesitation. For you, I can give up my life. You are my everything. Our love is my everything. As long as you don't say that you don't want me anymore, that you don't love me anymore, I will never leave you in this life. I will go wherever you go. Even if you go to your coffin, I will take half of it. Whatever you eat, I will eat. Whatever you want, I will give you. You…" Every word was from the bottom of his heart. He made a lifelong promise to his lover and to the whole world.
"Alright, alright, I believe you. I also want to protect our love with my life.”Sophie let go of Leng Liang and stared at her.
Their loving gazes slowly intertwined. The other party did not say anything, but the love they had experienced through life and death had already been conveyed to each other. Perhaps this was the so-called eye contact.
What followed was a kiss to break the barrier between them for a week. For a moment, Sophie felt so warm. As the saying goes, the warmest thing in the world is the body temperature of a lover.
They kissed for a long time, feeling each other's warmth in each other's body temperature.
"Did you know that? After the competition, I waited for you in the house you rented for the whole night.”Sophie said with some grievance as she left her cool lips.
"No wonder. I knew that you came that day, and I also knew that you knew that I had seen Yu Xue, so I knew that I owed you an explanation. That night, I looked for you for the entire night. I looked for the places I should go and the places I shouldn't. After that, I slept on the road below your house for the night.”Leng Liang told her story and slowly wiped away the tears that fell from Sophie's eyes.
"I thought that no matter if you won the championship or the runner-up, you would return to the place where you fought so hard, so I waited for your explanation.”Sophie continued to talk about her grievances.
"Silly child, I can't even find you, how can I care about the champion and runner-up?”Leng Liang held Su Fei's hand and slowly walked down the street.
Sophie laughed. She hadn't laughed since the day of the competition. She smiled for a few days, and it was a blissful smile.
"Later on, you had a conflict with the teacher. I waited for you in the third grade until midnight, but you didn't come.”Sophie continued.
Looking at the infatuated, pitiful, and beautiful Sophie, he felt even more remorseful." That day, I was scolded by Miejue until eleven o'clock. In the end, I managed to convince Miejue not to fire me. I was quite annoyed. After leaving the school gate, I didn't notice and took a taxi to leave.”He explained word by word.
"After that, I waited for you every day, but I didn't get to see you.”Sophie felt even more wronged.
"I've been drinking, playing basketball, and chatting with Xiao Sen every day these past few days to relieve my worries. No wonder you couldn't find me.”Leng Liang explained slowly.
"I didn't plan to wait until today, but I met your mother.”Sophie continued.
"My mother." Liang Liang was a little surprised.
Sophie ignored Leng Liang's surprise and continued.
"It's that lady boss. She told me everything about your childhood. Only then did I know how hard your childhood was.”
Liang Liang did not say anything and just smoked silently.
