I heard you were far away.

A sudden sound of foot brakes broke the original calm of this street.

With a bang, the woman who was hit was ejected far away like an object on a slingshot, then rolled on the ground several times and finally stopped.

The woman is motionless at the moment, lying on the ground facing the world, because she hit the back of her head and a lot of blood has flowed on the ground. Although the woman was badly hurt, she didn't show much pain at the moment. Obviously, under the great impact, women can no longer feel the pain, and women also find themselves out of control of their bodies. Women are getting sleepy and their eyelids are getting heavier and heavier. Obviously, they rested early during the day last night, but they are still sleepy. A woman tries to open her eyes and see the world again. It seems that there are still people and things in the world that she misses. But everything is in vain. As her eyes completely covered her eyes, the woman completely lost consciousness.

Xiao Chen arrived at Jin Dong station. He looked at his watch when he stopped the car. It's already half past five in the afternoon. After more than eight hours' journey, Xiao Chen was very tired, so he walked out of the station without dinner and found a hotel nearby to rest.

In the dead of night, Xiao Chen had a dream.

In the dream, Xiao Chen is on a green grassland, and the sun shines gently on the earth. A warm wind blew, and the grass on the grassland bowed its head uniformly. Xiao Chen didn't know why he had such a dream, but bathing in the spring breeze at the moment made Xiao Chen feel more comfortable than ever. Chen Xiao is so tired that he can only get rid of it in his dreams.

Xiao Chen was lying on the grassland, because he didn't know where the dream would take him, so he just let it develop and change. Xiao Chen closed his eyes and enjoyed this wonderful moment. I don't know how long it took, but the approaching footsteps seemed to come. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at each other. After seeing each other's faces clearly, Xiao Chen was shocked beyond belief.

A woman, someone Xiao Chen really wants to see again.

Xiao Chen excitedly stood up from the ground, and he walked slowly to the woman. Every step seems to be as far away as Qian Shan. Obviously, she is just around the corner, but Chen Xiao thinks everything is so unreal. He was afraid that it was his illusion and that his dream would suddenly wake up. But the woman just stood there silently, smiling and waiting for Xiao Chen. He got closer and closer, and finally he stood in front of her.

"Chen Hong, is that you?" Xiao Chen asked.

"It's me, Xiao Chen. I came back for you. " Chen Hong said with a smile.

Chen Xiao raised her trembling hand and stroked Chen Hong's face slowly, feeling the temperature coming from her hand. At this moment, Xiao Chen was sure that she really came back, and she appeared in his dream. She is still what she remembers. Waist-length hair, beautiful skin and clear eyes always give people a feeling of facing the sea of stars.

Xiao Chen held her in his arms hard, because he didn't know when the dream would wake up, and he was afraid that he would never see her again, so he cherished every second when she appeared in the dream.

Chen Hong didn't struggle or speak. She asked Chen Xiao to hold her. Chen Hong patted him on the back, trying to calm his trembling body. After a long time, Chen Xiaocai reluctantly let go. Chen Hong took Chen Xiao's hand and walked on the grassland. I don't know how long it took. In front of him is an ocean of flowers. There is a clear stream beside the flower sea. You can see unknown fish swimming underwater and stones of various shapes. The stream runs across the whole grassland, and I don't know where its source is.

Walking into this sea of flowers, there are all kinds of beautiful flowers in full bloom, and a group of butterflies keep circling and dancing among the flowers. Chen Xiao picked a flower and stuck it in Chen Hong's hair. Chen Hong turned away shyly. This once again aroused the desire in Chen Xiao's heart. Xiao Chen threw Chen Hong to the ground. When she wanted to kiss her lips, Chen Hong quickly put her index finger on Xiao Chen's mouth and said, "Xiao Chen, you won't leave me again, will you?"

Leave? This is impossible! It's a pity that I left you in the real world, didn't see you for the last time and didn't say a word. I am lucky to have you in my dream this time. How dare I leave you again?

So Chen Xiao said firmly, "No, I will never leave you again, Chen Hong."

"I know my Xiao Chen won't leave me. He loves me." Chen Hong answered contentedly. Then Chen Xiao's lips were attached to Chen Hong's lips, and they embraced each other, intertwined, and rolled back and forth in this sea of flowers, echoing each other warmly. At this moment, how Xiao Chen hopes that what is happening now is in the real world, not in a dream, even if it is a dream, don't wake up so early.

Kiss, Chen Hong suggested going for a walk by the stream. Then they played in the water again, and the change happened just as they were about to go ashore. At the moment when Chen Xiao began to pull Chen Hong ashore, the originally clear water became muddy and bottomless, and Chen Hong suddenly fell into the water. Fortunately, Chen Xiao's hand was not completely submerged. And the surrounding environment has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The original green grassland has turned into a desolate and dilapidated land, the temperature is biting cold, and the sky is boundless darkness. Originally, the butterflies in the sea of flowers disappeared and were replaced by flying skulls, which surrounded Chen Xiao and made a shrill roar.

Xiao Chen was very scared, but it was only for a moment. Because Chen Hong was still in the water, he had to keep calm to pull her ashore. Just as Chen Xiao was about to succeed, several skeleton people suddenly appeared in the water. They are very good. They grabbed Chen Hong and dragged him into the water. Chen Hong desperately cried for help and begged Chen Xiao to save her, because Chen Xiao said she would never leave her again.

Xiao Chen struggled with it, but it was obviously not enough. Chen Xiao said to Chen Hong in tears, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I tried my best. "

Chen Hong's frightened face suddenly became unusually calm. She said to Xiao Chen, "Didn't you say you wouldn't leave me? Why did you leave me here again? You liar, you don't value what you get. What do you take me for? Your doll? In that case, you should stay here with me. "

Chen Hong's beautiful face changed, her hair turned white, and her white and plump skin became shriveled, leaving only skin and bones. The face split from the middle to both sides and turned over to reveal the skull inside. Numerous maggots gushed from those skull holes and climbed up Xiao Chen's arm. Chen Xiao was scared by all this and had to let go of Chen Hong's hand. But Chen Hong's hand gripped Chen Xiao's like a maggot attached to a bone, and he couldn't shake it off. Xiao Chen is easily dragged down when his hands are hard. Sticky flesh and blood and the skull that became ghastly opened its mouth near Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao was immediately smothered by an indescribable smell of death and lost consciousness. Xiao Chen gradually sank to the bottom.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and felt cold all over. His clothes were soaked with sweat. Chen Xiao knew he was awake, but he also knew that he had lost Chen Hong again.

A few days ago, Xiao Chen returned to the rented house as usual after work. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when he finished washing, and his cell phone rang when he was about to go to bed. Xiao Chen looked at his mobile phone number, and it was Chen Hong. This is a phone call from Chen Hong a year after she broke up with him. Before answering, Xiao Chen also thought about what the other party would say, whether to get back together or to care about his current situation. I once thought about calling Chen Hong to ask about her, but I didn't dial out at last. Now receiving her phone call makes Chen Xiao happy and anxious.

Xiao Chen pressed the answer key of the mobile phone. It's just that things didn't develop as expected by Xiao Chen, but it brought a bolt from the blue to Xiao Chen.

Chen Hong died in a car accident.

If a second ago, Xiao Chen received a phone call from Chen Hong, and there was still a trace of happiness and expectation, it would be like falling into icehouse and being sucked out of his soul. It was Chen Hong's mother who called to tell the news. She asked Chen Xiao to come to her house sometime, if possible. She has something for him. Xiao Chen said that she would go to her house when she had time. Xiao Chen can't remember what he said later. When learning the news of Chen Hong's death, Xiao Chen was as reckless as when he died, and everything outside had nothing to do with him.

Hang up the phone, Xiao Chen seems to have lost strength and sat down on the ground. He wept bitterly and felt sad for Chen Hong's departure. I also despair that there is no Chen Hong in my own world. His heart hurts so much that it is no longer enough to support him to sit on the ground. He lay on the ground, tears streaming out.

Chen Hong, how dare you, how dare you leave me without my permission, you are so cruel! Is this your revenge on me? Why? Why are you doing this to me? Chen Xiao's heart screamed involuntarily.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, long and lonely. Early the next morning, Xiao Chen asked the company for a few days off, booked the earliest air ticket and came to Chen Hong's home. Chen Hong's home is in a seaside village called Fujian Village in Funan City. Here is rich in all kinds of seafood and dry goods, just as summer is coming, there are an endless stream of boats fishing at sea, and the wind also brings the unique smell of the sea this season. Many locals and foreigners like to go to the seaside this season.

Xiao Chen's last visit was a year ago, but when he came again, he was very sad. All the good memories of the past here seem to be disappearing little by little. Chen Xiao searched for Chen Hong's home from memory, walked through several streets, and finally came to her door. Chen Xiao raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone home?" Xiao Chen asked.

After a while, Xiao Chen saw the gate separate inward from both sides. A middle-aged woman of about 50 years old appeared head-on. She looks a bit like Chen Hong, but her skin is rough and dark yellow, her hair is a little white, and her face is covered with many wrinkles after years of baptism. This person is Chen's mother. Xiao Chen didn't expect such a big change when we met again. Looking at the color of her tired face at the moment, Chen Xiao thinks that she should not get over the loss of her beloved daughter. Yes, no one can easily forget such a thing. Just thinking about how to comfort her, Xiao Chen thought that she could not accept Chen Hong's departure? How can I comfort others? Isn't this self-deception? Xiao Chen laughed at himself.

The two were relatively silent. After a short silence, Mu Chen took the lead in breaking the situation. She tried to change her mind, smiled and invited me into the house, and then led me into Chen Hong's room. Chen Hong's room was cleaned up by mother Chen, and there was nothing dirty at all.

Mother Chen said to her, "After my daughter left, I often came to clean her room, as if it made me feel that she was still alive." After that, mother Chen wanted to cry again, but when she found that she was still there, she felt that she could not be rude and immediately recovered her original expression.

Chen Xiao is also very uncomfortable. I still remember the first time I came to Chen Hong's room, or when Chen Hong took herself to her home to introduce herself as her boyfriend. At that time, she was very happy and proud, and he was also very happy. Then she took his hand and came to her room. But now it's still the same place, and nothing has changed, except that this room is missing her owner.

After sorting out my thoughts, I asked Chen's mother, "Hello, Aunt, you said on the phone that you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, there is such a thing." Mother Chen replied. After that, mother Chen went to one side of the desk, opened the drawer and took out a notebook from it.

"Can I ask you something before you take this notebook?" Mu Chen asked.

"Go ahead, don't mention it." Xiao Chen said.

Mother Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Do you still love my daughter?"

"Love, love, this has never changed." I was a little surprised at Chen's mother's question, and then said, "I wonder why you asked, aunt?"

"If you love each other so much, why did you break up?" Mother Chen doesn't understand.

Like being touched by the pain hidden in his heart for a long time, Chen Xiao showed the color of pain, then lost control of his tone and said with tears: "I don't want to break up either, but I don't know which link is wrong. One second we were getting along, and the next thing was out of control. This is not the result I want! But aunt, please believe me. Even so, my love for Chen Hong has not changed. I've been thinking that maybe we can overcome these problems when the two sides calm down for a period of time and have a good talk, but I didn't expect Chen Hong to wait until this day. If I had known this, I should have told her earlier that being with her would not have caused the regret now. " Say that finish, Xiao Chen's eyes burst into tears again.

"ah! This is life! " Mother Chen sighed, and then said to her, "Good boy, aunt doesn't blame you, but pity you two. Blame my daughter for not having this blessing. "

Xiao Chen quickly said, "aunt, don't say this. Meeting Chen Hongcai is the greatest blessing in my life. "

Mother Chen waved her hand to stop talking about this topic, and then handed the notebook to say, "After you separated, I shouldn't disturb your life, but I often see my daughter writing in this notebook, and sometimes I hear her say something about you when she writes. Of course, there are complaints and praises. I realized at that time that she was still attached to you, so I wanted to call you here. I thought you would be interested in what was written in this notebook. "

Took the notebook, and then, under the guidance of mother Chen, came to the photo of Chen Hong. She hasn't changed much from what she remembered in the photo, but she looks more mature. The photo chose the way she smiled. Presumably, mother Chen hopes that her daughter can be so happy in that world! Xiao Chen just watched it quietly for a few seconds, and then he couldn't bear to watch it again, for fear of arousing sad mood. Mother Chen patted the shoulder and said, "Good boy, live well and don't fall into endless sorrow. This is the best explanation for Chen Hong and what she wants to see. Go home, you are tired, too. I have done what I should say and do. Thank you for coming. "

After bidding farewell to Chen's mother, I finally looked back at Chen Hong's photo, booked a ticket and returned to the rental house.

04

The night is already deep. Chen Xiao leaned back in bed, opened Chen Hong's notebook and began to read.

"Today is 202 1 1, the first day of the new year. It was supposed to be a happy day for everyone, but I was not happy. Because my boyfriend Xiao Chen and I broke up, the reason is that Chen Xiao wants to give up his stable job here and go outside to seek greater opportunities. He said he didn't want to live like this day after day. This is not the life he wants. Of course, I disagree. I think it is extremely risky and irrational to quit a stable job and strive for another unknown future. Besides, I don't want to experience the pain of long-distance love too early. I just got a foothold here and got along well with my colleagues. Why start all over again? We were deadlocked and quarreled. I don't know why, so I said,' If you insist on quitting, let's break up.' Say that finish, I regret how I can say this sentence. But the words have been spoken and there is no way to take them back. But I thought Xiao Chen wouldn't agree to it. I didn't expect him to agree, and the answer was very simple. This makes me very angry. As long as you refuse, I will admit my mistake. I didn't expect such a reply. I said,' Are you tired of me, want to leave me for a long time, and think that I am on your way in the future? So you can't wait to say goodbye. Have you been looking forward to this day for a long time? Ok, ok, in that case, let's break up. I ran home crying and said to Xiao Chen, "You big fool."

"Today is 202 1 1 2, the day after I broke up with Xiao Chen. Since breaking up with Xiao Chen, he hasn't returned any news to me or made a phone call. He didn't really think I was going to break up with him! This big fool, don't you know that women are duplicitous? I don't know how to coax my girlfriend. What a fool! If you do, I'll really ignore you. I hope to hear from you tomorrow. "

"Today is 202 1 1 3, the third day I broke up with Xiao Chen. There is still no news from Xiao Chen as usual, and I'm really a little panicked. I love Xiao Chen very much. I really don't want to break up with him. Should I talk to him myself? But I was really angry at the thought of him that day, and I broke up on my own initiative. Now go to the main, don't you prove me wrong? What is wrong with me? Is it wrong to persuade him not to give up a stable life? Forget it, wait and see. "

......

"Today is 202 1 February 1, the 32nd day when Xiao Chen and I broke up. It's almost Spring Festival in a blink of an eye, and you still haven't contacted me. Although you and I are in the same city, we are strangers. Sometimes I wonder if I really did something wrong. I should respect your choice and set you free, instead of binding you blindly. But I can't let go of everything here, and I don't want to endure the pain of long-distance love with you. Is this wrong? Why is it so difficult for two people who love each other to be together? "

"Today is 202 1 February1kloc-0/New Year's Eve, the 42nd day when Xiao Chen and I broke up. I thought about getting up the courage to say hello to you and ask about the recent situation. But when I picked up my mobile phone and looked at your head, I didn't think about what message to send you for a long time, so I had to give up. The New Year's bell has rung, and I look out of the window and silently say to you,' Happy New Year, Xiao Chen, I really miss you.' I have a headache recently. I often think of the days when you took care of me. You will bring me medicine and hot water, tuck me in and let me have a good rest. I felt particularly safe at that time. Besides my parents, you are the best person to me. I also believe that Xiao Chen is the person I want to marry in my life, but Xiao Chen, I don't know why we are where we are today. I don't understand. Who can tell me? "

......

"Today is 202 1 May 1 Labor Day, and it is the first 12 1 day when Xiao Chen and I broke up. I revisited the university I went to with you today, and I still remember seeing you for the first time. At that time, it suddenly rained heavily outside, and I didn't bring an umbrella, and there were no buildings around to shelter from the rain, so I was caught in the rain. Just when I thought I was going to go back like this, an umbrella appeared on my head. I turned my head and found that the man holding the umbrella was a thin boy, very gentle. This umbrella is not big enough for one person to keep out the rain, let alone two people. But even so, you tried to protect me from more rain with an umbrella, and you got wet yourself. You are deeply imprinted on my mind. Later, I also learned that your name is Xiao Chen, and I am a student in the same grade. At a school basketball game, I fell in love with you completely. I watched you fight hard on the court, sweating like rain, releasing androgen. Your sunshine, firm eyes and indomitable spirit completely fascinate me. It is no accident that I chose a suitable time to express my love to you. I didn't expect me to succeed easily. At that time, you had no idea how happy I was. Like many couples, we eat together, watch movies together and go out to play together. Your gentleness and thoughtfulness make me more dependent on you, and you make me feel that it is the right decision to let you be my boyfriend. But now I'm revisiting my old place without your company. This makes me feel that all the memories before are so unreal, and the beautiful bubble is broken at the touch of a button. How I wish you would stand in front of me at this moment and tell me,' Little fool, this is true, how can it be false?' Seriously, I miss you, Xiao Chen. This is the third month since you left my city. Would you please take a message for me? Please. "

"Today is the National Day of 202 1, 10, the 274th day when Xiao Chen and I broke up. Today, I went to Jin Dong, and I chose this place because I heard that there is a famous wishing pool here. As long as you write their names on the list of lovers and put them on it, then the two will be blessed and can be together forever. I was thinking that if you knew about it, you would laugh at me, but there was nothing you could do about it. Who told you that neither of us will take the first step easily, so I have to make this decision. You must ask me what I wrote. I won't tell you, wait for you to see for yourself. "

"Today is 202 1 65438+February 3 1 and the last day of 2021. I made a bold decision. I want to quit my job here and go to Xiao Chen. I will book a plane ticket to his city tomorrow, and I have decided to go by myself. I don't think our story is over, but like most authors, we have encountered bottlenecks, and we can continue to write if our thinking is clear. Of course, this is a surprise, and I can't let Xiao Chen know. I'm really looking forward to Xiao Chen's face when he turns to look at me after work. I am really looking forward to it. "

This is the end of the notebook, because the next day, 1, in 2022, Chen Hong died in a car accident on his way to the company. Opening the notebook, Xiao Chen's heart ached violently again. He held the notebook tightly to his chest, and tears flowed out of his eyes silently. Xiao Chen always felt that breaking up made her very painful and not understood. But now I see Chen Hong's notes, and I know that she is more painful than me. What is mine compared with her? Work and career, why did I think of these before but didn't see and ignore the people around me? If I wake up early and go back to her early, will the ending change? But it's too late, and the ending is already doomed.

05

Chen Xiao decided to go to Jin Dong to see the wishing pool because he overheard a song "I heard that you are far away". There is a lyric that reads:

I blew the wind that you blew.

Is this a hug?

I walked the path you walked.

Is this a meeting?

Hearing this, Chen Xiao had an idea. He thought that since Chen Hong was gone, I would go around the places where she had been before her death. Feel the traces of her existence with your heart. Before that, he and Chen Hong had been to all the places he used to go, and Jin Dong was the terminal. Today's weather is very sunny, and Xiao Chen finally came to the wishing pool after asking about it in many ways. There are many signs on this wishing pool. It is a little difficult to find what Chen Hong wrote. Xiao Chen is also worried that it may be disposed of after a long time. After searching for about half an hour, I finally found it in an inconspicuous place. The list is yellow and old, but the handwriting is faintly visible. Besides the names of Chen Hong and Chen Xiao, there is a photo on it. The content of the painting is: a girl holds up an umbrella to shelter a boy from the rain, but she doesn't have much shelter and is wet by the rain. But the girl's eyes just stared at the boy tightly and never moved away.
