Chen Nian returned home, took a shower, washed his hair, and changed into a clean skirt. She found the Oxford Dictionary, turned the pages, and the dried earring flowers floated out and fell on the table.
A thin layer, pale pink, transparent, with fine lines.
She took out the wooden foil bookmarks she bought, brushed them with a very thin layer of paste, gently pasted the two flowers, and put them in a transparent bookmark bag for storage.
She returned to school, bought the best teacup in the boutique, and sent it to Zheng Yi at the post office;
She went to the porter,
At 11:50 in the morning, the school bell rang, and the students of the first and second grades poured out of the campus.
In just a few days, she had been removed from their lives.
She glanced at the location across the street, walked down the steps, and headed home, at her usual speed. She walked to the corner of the courtyard wall and looked back habitually.
There are green trees and flowers, and the teenagers in school uniforms are laughing and laughing, and their youth is flying.
The green light went on, the red light stopped; she walked across the street, walked to the overgrown wasteland, waited for a while, then continued walking, walked into the empty and quiet factory area, and walked to the dilapidated house with the rolling shutter door.
The mulberry trees are luxuriant, and the swing hangs there.
From then on, the clean shade belongs only to memory. How many times the sunset and the moon rise, a tree, a house, is the home of the young man; and later, maybe their own world.
She walked up the stairs unhurriedly, took the key and opened the shutter. She propped the door up by herself, and there was a smack of dust; she fanned and closed the door softly.
After many days without people, the smell of damp wood in the house is even stronger. But she likes it.
She lay on the table for a while, stroking his guitar, thinking about the look he had met when she was thrown into the interrogation room.
She took out a small knife and carved a line of words slowly and forcefully on the desk where they sat opposite each other for countless hours:
"Brother Bei, when I grow up, come back to protect you."
She blew lightly, and the sawdust flew.
She climbed out of the window and circled the fire escape to the roof, looking out over the city and the railroad tracks.
The blue sky is so bright, she is sitting on the roof with her arms in her arms.
When the bell rang, the train rumbled past, and the smell of golden toast floated up.
She came down from the roof, stood on the high courtyard wall, her feet trembled, took a deep breath, and jumped down.
The pain ran through the body from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
She steadied herself with a few shakes, walked slowly to the bakery, and bought two freshly baked shredded coconut bread.
She sat alone at the door, eating slowly.
Finally, she stood in the sun and looked up at the window of the boy's house for a long time.
Finally, she lowered her head and walked slowly, raising the back of her hands as she walked, rubbing her eyes vigorously, but she did not cry.
There is nothing to cry about.
…
At the trial, Zheng Yi was taken aback.
After a few hours of absence, Chen Nian cut his hair short, reaching the roots of his ears.
Almost immediately, he looked at Kitano on the other side of the courtroom, whose hair was cut short due to his imprisonment.
Strangely, however, there has been no eye contact since the two appeared in the same space. Like strangers.
Chen Nian sat in the center of the court to receive questions,
"When did you first meet?"
At the mouth of the alley, Yao Yaoling, they were forced to kiss each other before they could see each other's faces clearly. At that time, she was disgusted and ashamed. At that time, who would know that their fate would be tied up for a lifetime.
Who would have known that when she saw bullies bullying, she would not ignore her, she would not be indifferent, she would pick up her mobile phone and call the police, and she would repay her a teenager who was willing to give her life for her freedom and her lifelong love and guard.
"On my way home, I saw a group of people in front of the road..."
Chen Nian spoke softly, at an unusually slow pace, but he stopped stammering; as if every word was thought through and came from the bottom of his heart,
Her voice was unexpectedly soft and sweet.
She was proving that Kitano did not want to rape her that day, that he was not a man in a raincoat; that that night, Kitano drank alcohol.
At this time, Zheng Yi found that the red rope wrapped around her wrist was gone. On the contrary, a red rope was hung around his neck, and a key was worn, hanging in the position of his heart.
Chen Nian is particularly beautiful today, with his newly cut short hair, pinned behind his ears with a thin light green hairpin, revealing his fair ears and cheeks, like a curved white moon.
The moon is facing where Kitano is.
When she went to court, she was wearing a school uniform and skirt, which was clean and beautiful. There was a small pocket on the left breast of her dress, and there were two newly picked earring flowers, and the small purple-red trumpets bloomed beautifully.
And on her ears, two small flowers were drawn where there should have been ear piercings.
she…
She is not like a victim or witness. She was like a lover who came to an appointment. Beautiful face, tender love words.
Zheng Yi realized again that there was a relationship between him and her that outsiders could never understand.
Kitano has never looked at her, and neither has she.
They are like two parallel lines, their joys and sorrows have nothing to do with you.
Kitano's lawyer tried his best to defend him, while Kitano was calm.
Various characters testify and report, the facts of the crime are established, facing various accusations and evidence chains, the young Kitano nodded lightly, admitted, and answered again and again: "Yes." "It's me."
Chen Nian returned to his seat and looked ahead as if he were looking at a transparent desert.
In the end, the trial ended successfully.
The judge pronounced: "All stand up!"
"Swoosh" sound.
Kitano was standing, Chen Nian was standing, and everyone was standing.
The scene was extremely quiet: "... Killing Lai Qing, the evidence is conclusive, he confessed,... he confessed his guilt in a good manner, and took the initiative to confess... Provide clues for the police to crack the raincoat man case, and actively admit mistakes... Minor...
Sentenced to 7 years in prison. "
Hammer down.
Courtroom.
The voices start, and the noise continues. The police are going to take the boy away.
The figures were staggered, Chen Nian suddenly looked at Kitano, and Kitano was also looking at Chen Nian in an instant.
Only God knows how much I love you.
Yes, it can't be hidden; close your mouth and your eyes will speak.
At the moment when the eyes met, the glue stopped, it was a farewell, but it was not like a farewell. The eyes of the two children are tightly entangled, the intimacy that cannot be achieved by holding hands, hugging, or even kissing; it is almost tragic persistence.
They identified each other in the chaotic figure, through the hazy tears, the eyes were so attached, so sad, but so full of gratitude.
She clenched the key on her chest; he was pulled by the police, slowly backed away, his lips moved slightly, and he silently said one word: read.
Looking north to the heart of today; old age will not change.
Once, who took a branch under the bright summer sun and wrote a name to tell the young man, now heart;
Once, who seduced her to recite a name with her eyes and handed a sweet and sour candy with the tip of her tongue;
Once, who was pulling her to speed in the abandoned factory area, watching the magic ignite the lights of thousands of homes;
Once, who was running along the steps of the open-air stage in the rain, the young hands clasped in the air;
So, who wakes up from memory and finds himself sitting in the window of a slow-moving train;
Who else is in the car full of the din of instant noodles, looking out the window through the wilderness and the big egg yolks countless times, thinking about Darwin, thinking about biology, thinking about clownfish, sea anemones and lichens;
thinking,
Symbiosis means that two organisms live together for mutual benefit, without each other, life will be greatly affected, and even death.
In June, the weeds are overgrown,
Chen Nian watched the roof of Kitano's house disappear quickly outside the train window, and the two lines of tears fell like a torrential rain.
that day,
They sat high on the roof, and she asked:
- Kitano, what do you want most
- I like someone and I want to give her a good ending.
That's all.
