Follow the wind

Chapter 6 The Thinking Reed

In the next week or two, Lan Xin would occasionally receive a call or two from Chen Zheyu.They greet each other and chat like friends.He told her that he was on a business trip in Shenzhen.

Oh, it's Shenzhen again!For Lanxin, the most sensitive word, the most sensitive city!
During this period, she actually received another text message from "him".The content of the text message is as follows: live a good life and pursue your own happiness!you must be happy!

This text message revealed two messages: [-]. He wanted her to be happy so that he would feel less guilty; [-]. There could be nothing between him and her.

He was still determined like this, but this time he came more gracefully.The newly germinated seeds in Lan Xin's heart were ruthlessly and completely destroyed again, and she even wanted to laugh at her own stupidity.What text message!Haven't you already broken up?It's been six years since we broke up, what are you doing?It's really bright if you give it some sunshine, and bring shame on yourself!deserve it!

Lan Xin scolded herself fiercely in her heart, she hated herself for not being able to forget him.It's been six years, why can't I forget it!
Thoughts drifted back to that beautiful sunny afternoon when it all started.

Lin Feng took Lan Xin back to school.Along the way, Lin Feng graciously introduced some situations of the school to Lan Xin.He asked Lan Xin what her plans were in the future, and Lan Xin said longingly that after graduating from university, she planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination of the school, and then find a job in Hangzhou.The freshmen in the freshman year always look forward to a bright future, and think that the road ahead seems to be covered with flowers. .
Since then, Lin Feng, a senior, took good care of Lan Xin, a freshman, and accompanied her to gradually adapt to university life.Therefore, Lan Xin has been affectionately calling him "Brother", that is the "Brother" she can rely on at any time and gives her a sense of security everywhere.He participated in all her emotions, like a flower guardian, faithfully guarding this beautiful flower.He silently waited by her side, always looking at her with admiration. He didn't want to confess his love to her prematurely, for fear of disturbing her.

This year, Lan Xin grew up carefree under his care, she was happy and joyful; this year, he worked hard to get admitted to the graduate school of this school, and wanted to spend more time with her; this year , Sister Jingyi was about to go abroad, and before leaving, she said to Lin Feng, don't let other interested people pick such beautiful flowers.

Lan Xin is always so eye-catching.She can always receive notes from boys. Some boys call her name loudly under the window of the dormitory, and some sing for her all night under the tree next to the dormitory.Lan Xin always smiles without saying a word, because she has already pretended to be someone else in her heart.

Finally, Lin Feng confessed his love to Lan Xin!It was next to the newly completed West Lake Musical Fountain. Accompanied by the affectionate performance of "The Butterfly Lovers", the water column soaring into the sky was full of passion and brilliance.Everything is so romantic and wonderful!

He told her that he had never been in a relationship during college.Fate seems to have arranged their meeting long ago, so he has been waiting for her, and it finally came!
They fell in love so naturally that the whole world seemed to be blessing them, and even the air they breathed was full of sweetness.

What a happy time that was, how can it not be unforgettable!However, it passed after all, and disappeared mercilessly in the long river of time.

Perhaps, the trajectories of their lives are destined to only intersect in a hurry at a certain coordinate, and then separate and run separately.They are destined to be two straight lines that can only intersect once!
Yes, it's time to pursue your own happiness, so let's say goodbye to the past.Lan Xin once again made up her mind.In the past six years, she has made many resolutions, but each time it was in vain.She hated her determination.

Another incredible weekend.

After lunch, Lan Xin sat on the balcony at home reading a book and basking in the sun.The weather is really nice, although it is late autumn, there is a trace of coolness in the wind, but the sun is shining warmly, it is very pleasant and comfortable.Lan Xin stretched herself, feeling an urge to go out.

Such a nice weather, it's not bad to go out for a walk.How about calling Zhou Lin and the others?Lan Xin was going to make a phone call to Zhou Lin.

Just then, the phone rang.A number that is not very unfamiliar, because this number has called her several times recently, it is Chen Zheyu.

"Hello." Lan Xin accepted.

"Is Lan Xin? Still staying at home?" The male voice is very pleasant, full of magnetism, hearty and uninhibited.Every time she listened to him, Lan Xin couldn't help but think of Franz's Chinese dubbing in the old movie "Sissi".It was the sound she liked to hear.

Before Lan Xin could speak, the other party sent out an invitation: "How about going out to play golf together in such a good weather? Then we can have dinner together?" The other party seemed very worried about Lan Xin's rejection, and hurriedly added, "Last time The employment plan you proposed is really great, it has really helped me a lot, and it has achieved initial results, let's celebrate together!"

How can I refuse again?What's more, I was planning to go out for a walk a second ago, Lan Xin happily agreed.

"However, golf is fine. If you want, follow me to the suburbs." Lan Xin has no interest in golf, and the weather is so good, it's easy to go for a walk.Besides, at this time of year, there was a place she really wanted to visit.

"Alright then. I'll pick you up in half an hour, see you later!" The other party looked very happy.

Lan Xin dressed herself up a bit, she thought she was very beautiful and decent, so she went back to the balcony to continue basking in the sun.Perhaps it was due to the weather, Lan Xin felt that she was in a good mood, and she was naturally filled with joy and relaxation from head to toe.How long have you been stuck at home and haven't gone out for a walk?In my impression, Lan Xin has been repeating the two points and one line between school and home recently.

The silver Aston Martin appeared downstairs on time. Lan Xin grabbed her bag and ran out quickly, cheerful and light like a bird just out of the cage.At the same time, the phone rang cheerfully, it was the man downstairs.The melodious bell sound seems to be urging them to leave quickly.

Walking out of the apartment building, Lan Xin saw that not far away, Chen Zheyu had gotten out of the car and was leaning against the front of the car, welcoming her with a smile.Off-white jeans and a simple black leather jacket were opened to reveal the white T-shirt inside. The black pattern on the chest was more abstract than a Van Gogh painting.Today, he is another kind of handsome, heroic and tall.In the sun, it is pleasing to the eye!
so handsome!Lan Xin expressed her sincere admiration from the bottom of her heart, and she happily walked over.

They greeted each other like old friends. Chen Zheyu had already opened the car door for her. Lan Xin sat in and asked, "When did you come back?"

"yesterday."

Chen Zheyu looked at Lan Xin, she was still beautiful, but she was dressed very casually today, her beautiful long wavy hair was not tied up, pouring like seaweed, making her look more charming.Well, it's pretty.He asked for her advice, asking, "Where are we going today?"

"Then I'll take command?"

"As you wish."

The car went straight to the suburbs.

In the suburbs, the air becomes fresher, mixed with a touch of earthy smell, and people are so close to nature.

The two couldn't wait to get out of the car, breathing in the fresh air greedily.The grass on the ground has withered and yellowed, a little depressed, a little lonely.But the trees on the mountain are rich in color, green, yellow, orange, red, and colorful.They coincidentally want to go to the forest, listen to the whispers of autumn and the whispers of the wind.

Late autumn is very suitable for mountain climbing. Although it is a little cold, you will sweat a little after climbing for a while, and the cool breeze is really refreshing.The ground is full of fallen leaves, as thick as a carpet, and there will be a clicking sound when you step on it.The two walked side by side without making a sound, quietly listening to the sounds of nature.The fallen leaves made Lan Xin feel a little sad, but after thinking about it, it's not!Everything is just beginning, isn't the vitality of the coming year quietly gestating in it?
Lan Xin and Lin Feng had been to this place many times, but they always came by bicycle. Lan Xin sat in front of the bicycle, snuggled into Lin Feng's arms, singing and laughing along the way.The green mountains are still there, and the green water is still flowing, but things are different!

After turning over a small hill, there is a large depression in front of it.There are large tracts of reeds growing there, and the white reeds are blooming in full bloom, facing the setting sun, floating freely in the wind.

Lan Xin smiled and said to Chen Zheyu: "This is it, let's find a place to sit down."

Chen Zheyu was also deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him. He sat down and murmured, "It's so beautiful."

Lan Xin also sat down and said excitedly: "I like watching the reeds the most, especially the reeds in the sunset. They have an indescribable beauty. We'll just sit here and wait for the sun to go down, and the sun will soon go down."

Chen Zheyu asked Lan Xin curiously: "Do you come here often?"

"I've been here a few times." Lan Xin replied lightly.In the past few years after the breakup, Lan Xin also came here a few times, sometimes with Zhou Lin, sometimes with students.

The two sat side by side, and for a while, no one made a sound, just admiring quietly.At this time before, Lan Xin was always used to resting her head on Lin Feng's broad shoulders, talking quietly with Lu Wei.

Faced with this situation, a trace of indescribable sadness welled up in Lan Xin's heart.Chen Zheyu seemed to see through her mind. In order to enliven the atmosphere, he shook his head and imitated the profound appearance of the ancients, and recited aloud from memory: "The reed is also the reed, which swings with the wind but stops at the root; swaying in a trance, And care about the root. The root is love. There is nothing like lovesickness."

Lan Xin looked at the person in front of her in surprise. It was Chen Zheyu, whom she didn't know. She looked at him with a little admiration and said, "It's really good, you should look at it with admiration."

Chen Zheyu shook his head proudly: "What do you think?"

He recited the "Book of Songs" loudly: "The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the side of the water..."

Chen Zheyu secretly rejoiced that when he was reading "Qin Feng" in "The Book of Songs", he didn't know what Jian Jia was, he read a lot of materials, and became very interested in it, so the memory of today is still fresh and easy to come by.It seems that opening the book is really beneficial!
Lan Xin's thinking was also activated by him, and she said excitedly: "I like the words that the philosopher Pascal said the most, 'Man is a reed that can think.' Human life is as small and ordinary as a reed, and it is also As beautiful and tough as a reed, maybe a gust of wind will blow it off, but after the wind passes, it will stand up again, just like the strength of a person. It is the infinite resilience contained in this weakness that supports us all the way forward .”

Chen Zheyu kept repeating the phrase "A man is a thinking reed", he finally understood Lan Xin's faint strength!
"How is it? Isn't it beautiful? Isn't this trip worthwhile?" Lan Xin was very happy.

Chen Zheyu kept answering "yes, yes, yes".A special outing is different from the swaying on the golf course, different from the boldness of climbing the steep, but it is a very special mental journey.

Lan Xin said to him very seriously: "Actually, many beautiful things in the world are free, aren't they? The winter sunshine, the fresh air, the sky full of stars, and the beautiful scenery before our eyes."

Yes, many beautiful things are free, but to discover them requires a beautiful heart like yours, bright eyes like yours!Chen Zheyu thought so.

He stared blankly at Lan Xin under the setting sun, her long hair was blown by the wind, it was flowing and elegant; the setting sun coated her with a layer of dazzling golden light, and her profile glowed like a diamond, so dazzling and beautiful !

Lan Xin stared at the reeds in the setting sun, they floated gracefully with the wind, as if they were singing the elegy of life, but they were so leisurely.

Chen Zheyu was dumbfounded, and Lan Xin was also dumbfounded. They didn't speak, everything was very beautiful.

Time is passing slowly, and beauty is spreading infinitely.Chen Zheyu has never felt full and free like this moment, and his life is fuller than ever before.He had a strong feeling that Lan Xin beside him had an unusual meaning in his life.

It's time to go back, although I can't bear to give up, but I have to go back after all.

He involuntarily stretched out his hand to Lan Xin: "Let's go, let's go back."

Lan Xin hesitated, a little at a loss.Seeing this scene, he took her hand domineeringly and led her back under the setting sun.
