Both Su Lian and Chi Wan knew in their hearts that once they traveled back, this ceremony would be erased in time.
The rings on each other's hands will also return to the Chi family, and everything today will no longer exist.
But they still fulfilled their oath persistently, as long as the other party still remembers, that's enough.
Chi Huang took Su Lian's hand and interlocked his fingers: "Susu, this is not considered a formal marriage proposal, it is not grand enough, not grand enough, I will definitely make you a better one in the future."
"It's fair to replace me next time, one person at a time." Su Lian's nose was sore, feeling her vision becoming more and more blurred, she said with a difficult smile, "Don't refuse."
"It's all up to you." Chi Wan's voice was also choked up, and he said in a low voice, "Susu, we still have a lot of futures, and we will definitely."
It seemed to be telling Su Lian, and it seemed to be comforting himself.
Su Lian suppressed the soreness in her eyes, and forced a smile: "We have exchanged rings, shouldn't we celebrate?"
Before he could finish speaking, a tear fell on the back of his hand.
The always cold boy took off his disguise and exposed his fragile side to his lover.
Chi Wang hugged him into his arms, raised his hand to wipe away the moisture at the end of his eyes, and said distressedly, "Why are you crying on the big day?"
Su Lian raised the corner of her mouth and said firmly: "I'm crying with joy, let's have a good date for a day, you have been ignoring me for a long time recently."
It's rare to hear complaints from Su Lian's mouth, Chi Hua said in a doting tone, "Okay, let's play the whole city today."
Su Lian nodded, clenched her intertwined fingers even tighter, and said "um" in a hoarse voice.
The two held hands and came down from the mountain, neither of them mentioned the dial pointer or their own worries.
They regarded today as the most ordinary weekend, as if they were just taking a rare break from their busy schedule after five consecutive days of classes on weekdays.
First went back to No. 3 Middle School. There were almost no people in the school during the holidays. The two swaggered from the boulevard to Taoli Lake, afraid that no one would see the two hands holding each other. Thinking of the last time she had an affair and was almost caught, her eyes met and she couldn't help laughing.
At the second stop, Su Lian offered to go to the playground, which was a place he never wanted to step into again. But this time with Chi Wang's company, it seems that the loneliness of childhood has been erased bit by bit, leaving only the wanton screaming on the roller coaster.
Then there is the top of the mountain watching the shooting stars, all the good memories are left here. Su Lian looked at the mountains, and then at Chi Wang, his eyes outlined the side face of the young man, trying to keep this person firmly in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, the whistling light rail, the rising tide of the river, the food stalls they had been to, and the alley in front of the house they walked through countless times hand in hand.
In the hottest summer in the Foggy City, the two teenagers walked the streets and alleys, wandered through the mottled old city, and crowded in the noisy neighborhoods.
It seems that I can't wait for more time to finish the things that have not been completed before.
Throughout the day, from sunrise to sunset, their hands were tightly held and did not let go.
It seems that they are deliberately announcing their good news to the whole world in such a high-profile way.
The sky gradually darkened, Su Lian hooked and held hands all day long and said: "The last stop, the rooftop, it's time for us to treat everyone to a wedding wine."
He was joking, and there were tears in his eyes that were about to fall, and his eyes were very red.
Chi Wan nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll send a message to ask them to come over."
All day, they both seemed to be having a good time, laughing and joking, as if the raucous summer days would never end.
But they know that when the moon rises, they will face the terrible unknown after all.
After receiving the message, several friends reunited on the rooftop, and it was as lively as that night on Christmas Eve.
The Internet cafe downstairs has changed hands, but this place is still their world.
Sitting around the small table, Lin Yan opened the beer can, and his eyes fell on the rings on the two fingers: "Engaged?"
"Well, so I invite everyone to drink." Chi Wang held a can of beer and touched it to the side, "For the Internet cafe, thank you for being willing to sell it."
"We're all brothers, why are you being polite. How is your family doing now?" Lin Yan asked with concern.
Chi Wang said vaguely: "They are very good, they are all very good."
Today is a happy day, he doesn't want to bring up those sad things for the time being, and make Su Lian sad.
Gu Anjiu hooked a person with one hand, and said with a smile: "Master Wang is still awesome, he has set our brother Lian to death before he was in the third year of high school. Congratulations to the two newcomers, and I wish you a long life."
Su Lian tilted her head and clinked glasses with the little fat man: "Thank you for our matchmaker."
"Where did you propose marriage? Tell me for reference." Lin Yan raised her eyes and asked curiously.
Chi Huayu showed off, and replied with a smile: "Whether the temple was cool or not, in the entire Wucheng, there is absolutely no second pair."
"You, are you two getting married?" Song Jiaci was shocked, "Wow, it's really cool."
Su Lian pinched the beer can, her fingertips turned blue from the cold, and replied with a smile: "Not yet, but there will be a day."
"I don't care, the rounding is to be sent to the bridal chamber, such a happy thing, don't you guys have a drink?"
Gu Anjiu didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement. One person was equivalent to the entire cheerleading team, and he kept booing, "Cup! Cup! Cup!"
Chi looked at Su Lian with a smile, and blinked slowly: "Drink one?"
Su Lian hooked his hand and brought the wine jar to her lips, as if it really became their wedding scene, drinking a cup of wine under the booing of everyone.
Chi Wang drank it down, and the jar was empty: "Thank you everyone for coming to our simple engagement ceremony."
"Wow, it's simple, I remember that there are still lights on the roof that we bought before." Song Jiaci said, Xiao Bu ran to the side and pressed the switch, and the dots of lights lit up around the roof.
The pale yellow light flickered into a piece, which was really beautiful.
Gu Anjiu raised his hand, stretched out his arms and said, "Hold one, let us also be happy."
Su Lian, who always hated being touched by others, raised her arms and hugged him back, and said with a smile: "Today we saw the wedding bell that was hung before, and you will also find your other half."
"Fuck, you're so provocative all of a sudden, it makes me want to cry." Gu Anjiu suddenly pursed his lips, his eyes fell on the two good-looking teenagers, and he sighed, "That's great, that's great. Show affection, I will never say another word."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yan and Song Jiaci also hugged each other. They thought it was a blessing to the two of them, but in the eyes of Su Lian and Chi Wang, it was more like a close farewell.
Su Lian looked at the lights nearby and the lights in the distance with drunken eyes, and laughed, and her heart began to turn acid.
This group of friends who have witnessed their happy news will also forget everything after going back in time.
At the moment when the pointer moves, no one will know that the two young teenagers have privately decided to live their lives in the temple on the top of the mountain.
The most important stroke in their young lives will be quickly forgotten in the dust of time.
But it doesn't matter, I remember, and Chi Wang also remembers.
As the night fell, Chi Wang glanced at the time, and it was almost twelve o'clock.
Every day that passes, the pain will probably be more, he dare not gamble.
So he drove people away with a smile: "Leave when it's almost done, don't disturb us to spend a good night together."
"Take back, don't be your light bulb." Gu Anjiu dragged the stool away, and quickly cleaned up the leftovers on the table. Once the tablecloth was wrapped, the roof became clean again.
"School is about to start. See you at school." Lin Yan held Song Jiaci's neck and walked downstairs, then turned around and said, "When school starts, you will have to go to the next class. I am very reluctant."
"It's okay, anyway, we can always see it anyway, right?" Song Jiaci tilted his head and smiled back.
Seeing the smiling faces of his friends, Su Lian nodded, hummed, and repeated in a low voice, "We can always see you."
A few people got off the rooftop, and the noisy place suddenly fell into silence. He glanced back at Chi Lu, and reminded softly, "Brother Chi, it's half past eleven."
"I know." Chi Huang sighed, his lips pursed tightly.
He made mental preparations for the day, trying to cover up his nervousness with those joys, but this moment will come after all.
Su Lian took out the old watch from his pocket, pinched the strap tightly with his fingertips: "How about, let's go together."
"Let me come, don't you feel terrible pain every time you dial it for a few minutes? Maybe I'm fine, we scare ourselves." Chi took the watch from his hand with a smile, pretending to be relaxed and said, " I'm looking forward to it."
"Brother Chi." Su Lian called him in a low voice without any lingering sound.
Then being brought into his arms, Chi Huang pressed his ear and replied: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Su Lian couldn't stop trembling, and kept reminding: "If you can't bear it, you should stop immediately, don't be brave."
He paused, and his voice became hoarse: "I really don't want to lose you again, I can't bear it anymore."
"I know, don't worry." Chi Wan raised his hand to caress his back, comforting him bit by bit, "It will be fine, we still have a lot of things to do, besides, we just worshiped God today Buddha, they will bless us all the best. I must remember your words, if not, I will stop immediately, okay?"
Su Lian blinked, and the fingertips holding the shirt were almost so stiff that they turned white. After a long time, he struggled to make a reply from his nasal cavity.
"Susu, we will always be together, not even death can separate us." Chi Huang raised his chin, trying to suppress the moisture in his eyes.
The two stood in the night wind, watching each other quietly, trying to engrave each other's appearance into their bones.
Chi Wang pinched the back of his neck, kissed him deeply, and tasted a bit of saltiness.
This was probably the most hopeless and forceful kiss they had ever had together. It seems to want to prove that if they love each other, they can overcome everything.
Su Lian let go of her fingertips, her voice still trembling: "Back to June 21st, we were also on this rooftop on that day."
This was a long span of time that he had never attempted before. For two full months, he didn't know what kind of pain Chi Wang was going to face, nor what kind of ending he would face.
"I started." Chi Wang lowered his eyelashes, dialed the watch with his fingertips, and moved the hands slowly.
The surrounding scenery became blurred, he was swept into the tunnel of time and space, his brain went blank for a while, and his breathing gradually accelerated.
The pointer stuck at zero, and he instantly appeared in the bedroom on the second floor, but Su Lian was not by his side.
Chi Luan slid the pointer and continued to move forward with difficulty. From twenty-four hours ago, every second that followed was accompanied by heart-piercing pain.
His fingertips trembled so badly that he barely had the strength to continue dialing the watch.
However, there is still a need to continue.
At this moment, he completely empathized with Su Lian's pain every time he looked back, as if a hand was pinching his heart fiercely, making it difficult to breathe and unable to move.
At this moment, he also understood what kind of sacrifice Su Lian had in the beginning to face this long-term jump.
With the increase of backtracking, the memory began to appear chaotic, many fragments smashed into the mind, and it was chaotic.
Tenth lap.
He saw Su Lian squatting in front of himself lying on the flower bed, with concern in his eyes: "Student, I think your complexion is not good. I am a medical student, should I take you to the hospital?"
When he said this, Chi Wang saw those beautiful eyes, shining like amber in the sun.
Good to see, straight to the heart.
Twentieth lap.
Su Lian stood precariously on the roof, staring at the distant people in the rainstorm, trembling like a butterfly with wet wings.
The pain in his heart was even worse, as if he was also standing in that rain at this moment, panicked, afraid that Su Lian would disappear from his eyes and never see him again.
Ignoring the pouring rain, he went up to the rooftop in a panic, and grabbed the man's wrist and pulled him into his arms.
The torrential rain drenched the clothes of the two of them, and he said with difficulty: "Don't do stupid things, Brother Chi will take care of you from now on."
Thirtieth lap.
They stood in the crowded crowd, and there was a lot of noise around them. He stared at Su Lian's side face, his gaze fell gently on his lips.
Want to kiss him, but dare not act rashly.
When the clock struck zero o'clock, Su Lian tilted her head and leaned towards her, kissing the corner of her lips.
He felt that his heart was beating so loudly that it wanted to overwhelm the noise around him.
Fortieth lap.
In the small rented room, Su Lian huddled in the small kitchen and fiddled with something. He paced over, hugged the person from behind, leaned on his shoulder and asked, "What are you doing?"
"The newly developed health-preserving porridge must taste good this time." Su Lian didn't look back, letting the person hold her, her hands moving non-stop.
When he saw himself smiling, his eyes were filled with doting: "Anyway, I like everything you do."
Fiftieth lap.
The surroundings were pure white, breathing slowed down, and every ounce of air was hard to get into the nasal cavity.
With various instruments wrapped around her hands, Su Lian was leaning on the other side of the hospital bed, peeling an apple with a knife.
He forced a smile and looked at himself: "Brother Chi, when I went to pray to Buddha today, I met the master and asked for a peace talisman. It is said to be very effective, remember to wear it every day."
Knowing that it was all a pointless struggle, he struggled to make a sound and said hello in a hoarse voice.
Sixtieth lap.
I can no longer breathe, and every mouthful involves severe pain in my internal organs. He saw his pale face and the thin back of his hands.
Su Lian cried and grabbed his hand, choked up and said, "Please hold on a little longer, please hold on a little longer, okay?"
"I'm sorry, I broke my promise, Susu, forget about me."
His heart ached badly, because of his broken words, and because of his own powerlessness.
In the darkness, Su Lian's voice came: "I promised to be together forever, I will never forget it, I will never forget it in my life."
Since then, yin and yang have been separated, one is in the human world, and the other is under the underworld.
The pointer on the hand snapped and broke in two from the middle.
Chi Wan slowly closed his eyes, countless memories intertwined into his mind, gradually connected from fragments to pictures, sweet, tormented, green, noisy, like a long-ago movie, in an instant All the memories of his and Su Lian's previous lives were quickly played.
It turned out that he and Su Lian really loved each other so much.
It turned out that when I first met, I fell in love at first sight.
At this moment, he finally fully owned Su Lian's past, present and future.
Su Lian panicked, slowly supported the panting man on the ground, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chi, are you alright?"
"We seem to have come back successfully." Chi Wangbai was so white that he was almost bloodless, he said with difficulty, "Susu, did you succeed?"
"Well, it's the early morning of June 21st." Su Lian showed the date on the phone and showed him the time.
June 21, the summer solstice.
Chi Wang let out a long sigh of relief, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back, and he lost all strength.
He stretched his arms and paralyzed on the ground, looking up at the night, the moon was clear tonight. After experiencing the rest of his life, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Su Lian held onto Chi Wang's hand with her fingertips, panicked all over her face: "What's wrong with you? Does it hurt?"
"It's nothing, it doesn't hurt very much." Chi Wan said against his will, and glanced at the watch in his palm again, "The pointer is broken."
"If it's broken, it's broken. Anyway, I hope it will never be needed in the future." Su Lian looked at the sweat on his forehead with distress, and beat the hair on his forehead to damp, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"
He shook his head slowly, controlling his expression. Raising his hand to cover his heart, he felt that the disordered frequency gradually became calm, and gradually returned to normal heartbeat.
It's just that the time travel is over, why, he still feels distressed.
Chi Wan couldn't see Su Lian's expression clearly, so he murmured: "Susu, we have been in love for 1764 days. I still remember the way you loved me."
"Didn't those memories come from the future?" Su Lian was a little dazed, uncertain, "Do you really remember them all?"
Chi Wan nodded slightly, looking at the young man in front of him, he was stuck with a lot of words, not knowing what to say.
His heart was so sore, he repeatedly blamed himself in those memories, he really owed Su Lian too much in his previous life.
I owe him a grand wedding, I owe him the years of long-lasting companionship, I owe him the promise of taking care of me for a lifetime, I owe him the full rest of my life.
Chi Wang stared into his eyes for a long time, as beautiful as the first time he met in memory.
But now, those eyes are full of tears, full of worries about himself.
No matter what, he returned to Su Lian alive.
Su Lian's voice became crying, she turned her head slightly to look at him, and said slowly, "Brother Chi, you are finally back."
Complete and complete, it returned to him.
Chi Huang slowly raised his hand, caressing his cheeks wet with tears, his Adam's apple was tightly tightened: "Susu, you didn't do what you said, brother Chi is sorry."
My bones are smashed in the mud under the spring, and your head is covered with snow in the world.
After he left, he didn't dare to think how Su Lian survived such loneliness.
This apology came too late, until the second before he died, he was filled with endless self-blame and regret.
The past may fade away, but God loves the world.
I can only be thankful, fortunately fortunately, they parted from life and death, and met again for the first time.
Su Lian shook her head slowly, choked up and said, "Brother Chi, it is already the greatest gift God has given me to see you again."
Chi Wang stared into his eyes, unable to move his eyes for a long time. He remembered the epitaph written by himself when he was dying:
I died at the end of my twenty-five years, I broke my word and regretted it all my life.
Dreaming of reuniting with Su Lian in the next life and getting married again as fateful lovers.
