Just when Fang Zheng was worried, Tian Xin slowly spoke: "Can I tell you a story?"
Fang Zheng nodded slightly.
Tian Xin said: "I know a boy, his name is Ding Mu, a stupid name." At this point, Tian Xin glanced at Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng said nothing, pretending not to understand anything.
Tian Xin continued: "I remember when I was in college, he and I were the first pair of students in our department to report. He was first and I was second. He was in front of me. He was so tall that he almost blocked all sight lines. etc. After he finished writing his name, when it was my turn, I was surprised to find that we were both art students! I exclaimed, and he looked back at me, smiled silly, and then walked away shyly.
As a result, when the class teacher asked us to assemble, we met again. We looked at each other in surprise and felt a little funny that we were so destined.
They are in the same department, in the same class, and they meet each other. They are the most familiar with each other in the class. So we became roommates, read books together, skipped classes together, and made appointments to go hiking together...
Later, I confessed my love to him. "
Fang Zheng looked at Tian Xin in surprise. He didn't expect that this girl would confess her love first. He thought that it was usually the boys who took the initiative... Fang Zheng made a decisive note of this, so as to gain some experience for the long-awaited return to secular life and finding a wife.
Tian Xin continued talking, and groups of scenes flashed through Fang Zheng's mind unconsciously.
In the early morning on the campus playground, boys and girls meet for a morning jog. In order to be taller than the boy, the girl keeps adjusting her position. The purpose is to make her shadow a little longer than the other boy and regain some confidence in her height.
Before get out of class ended at noon, boys and girls secretly ducked and slipped out of the back door.
After class at noon, a man and a woman, one tall and one short, with big pants and a long skirt, ran very fast with lunch boxes and rushed into the cafeteria at the head of the crowd. Then they quickly scanned all the dishes in the cafeteria and picked up... Delicious food, order more.
But every time he sat down, the boy would give the girl scrambled eggs with tomatoes on his plate. He said he didn't like tomatoes. But if you don’t like it, then why do you want this dish
The girl always gave the braised pork to the boy. She said she didn't like eating it either.
Then the two looked at each other, smiled, and lowered their heads to eat. However, in the end, the girl always eats less than half of the boy's meal. She sadly discovers that she can eat more than the boy...
In the study room in the evening, the two of them like to sit in the corner, one reading novels and the other drawing, silent to each other, but accompanying each other, enjoying the silence that belongs to them.
The time in college passed quickly, and the girl watched the lovers in college break up one after another, and her heart also cast a shadow. The girl and the boy were separated. She went to the south, and the boy went to the southwest. She heard that children in the southwest didn't like to go out. They usually found jobs locally, got married and had children.
She thought about following him, but she couldn't do it in the short term.
However, when she got off the train, she saw the boy standing outside the car door with his hand in hand, looking at her and smiling at her.
She asked: "Why didn't you go home?"
"I don't know, I thought about going home and then I followed," he said.
She gave him a look, then took him home and introduced him to her parents.
Her parents didn't agree or object and let him stay.
The two of them review together, go to apply for jobs, and take exams together...
She originally thought that the two of them could last forever, but that day, her parents returned to their hometown, he went to work, and she was at home alone. She didn't know what happened. A fire suddenly broke out and blocked the door. She couldn't get out. She could only hide behind the protective window and scream desperately, hoping that someone would come to save her.
Neighbors around wanted to help put out the fire, but the fire was too big to put out. The door was knocked open, but the fire burned out and no one could get in.
She was desperate and thought she was dead... Under the thick smoke, she gradually lost consciousness.
In the mist, she saw a man rushing in with a wet quilt. The other person wrapped her up in a wet quilt, then ran out holding her who was almost unconscious.
She didn't know what happened, but as she ran, she felt her body vacate, and then she heard someone screaming, and someone yelling: "Catch it!"
"It collapsed! It's over!"
"Get the cars out of the way, the fire department is coming!"
…
She had no idea what happened next. When she woke up, she saw her parents crying beside her, but the boy was missing. She asked: Where is he
Her parents said he was gone.
She didn't believe it. She called, but no one answered. She asked other people, but no one spoke.
It wasn't until she came out of the hospital that she realized that the person who rescued her was Ding Mu. Ding Mu climbed in from a house downstairs that did not install a security net. When Ding Mu carried Tian Xin to the window, the building There was a collapse, and at the moment of crisis, Ding Mu threw her onto the soft bed that people had prepared and piled up with many quilts. And he was buried in the ruins by earth and rocks.
When the fire fighters arrived, extinguished the fire and found the person, they had already...
"I personally sent him back, and I watched him be cremated." When Tian Xin said this, she stared directly at Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng felt a little guilty. This wasn't a resemblance, it was just a coincidence of a door. It's a pity that he can't say these words...
After listening to Tian Xin's story, Fang Zheng felt a lot of emotion in his heart. At this moment, he became more and more at a loss what to say.
Pretend he is Ding Mu? Make her happy
But is this kind of fake happiness necessary? Tian Xin is a strong girl. Although she is sad, she is not desperate. Although she is in pain, she is not pessimistic. She still has love in her heart, because she still wears a copper ring on her hand. Ding Mu bought it from a street stall for her to play with, but when Ding Mu left, she regarded it as a wedding ring. , solemnly put it on her ring finger, showing to the outside world that she was married.
It's shameful to cheat on such a girl.
But, admit it? He looked at the glimmer of hope in Tian Xin's eyes, and he couldn't bear to hurt her, because no matter how he acted, he couldn't stay forever. He is just a passer-by, and a passer-by should have the consciousness of a passer-by.
When Fang Zheng heard this, he knew what he should do. He stood up and said, "You're welcome. God arranged for us to meet there for a reason. I hope you can be happy in the future."
Tian Xin pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Of course! Mu Mu has always been by my side. I must live a happy life and let him in the sky watch me smile happily."
Fang Zheng nodded.
Tian Xin suddenly stretched out a hand to Fang Zheng and said, "Tomorrow is my wedding, can I invite you to attend?"
