My girlfriend is from the future!

At this time, only the man and woman sitting face to face were left on the table, and the soup pot in the middle was boiling with a puff of white smoke, so that when they looked at each other, each other's faces were hazy.

"You really don't plan to continue your movie dream?"

Cao Aiqing took a piece of shiitake mushroom and passed it in the dipping bowl, asking slowly.

Taking advantage of Guo Huai's absence, the chat between the two became more straightforward.

He Tianran shook his head, "I really don't want to do it. Although what I said just now sounds outrageous, they are all my true thoughts. This time, let me do something else..."

When Cao Aiqing heard this, she felt a little embarrassed for a while.

"To be honest, I can't think of what else you can do besides making movies and creating..."

"Heh~ That's what I said, but think about it, I have reincarnated several times, and every time I clamored to make a movie, but I never made it. In the last world, when I was taking the film school exam , my dad got in the way and almost didn't let me pass the exam, he didn't approve of it in the first place, I still remember the day when the ranking was released, I called to trick you into failing the exam, do you remember?"

"……Remember."

"Now everything has started again, and I have always followed his wishes to go to the University of Hong Kong. Now that I am a junior, if I suddenly mention this to him, I am afraid I will have to use my old nose to go back. Besides, he is now angry again, alas , I'm really tired, forget it, it's good to just lie down like this."

He Tianran drank a glass of wine by himself.

Cao Aiqing looked at him drinking by himself, hesitated and said:

"Naturally, love and dreams are separate. It's good to be able to combine them. It's only natural that they can't be combined. Because they are not the same thing in themselves, so there is no need to lose both..."

He Tianran's heart warmed up, he nodded and said with emotion:

"I understand what you mean Ai Qing. I studied film and wanted to be a director. It was never because of Wen Liang. Although she pointed me in a direction, I walked the road by myself, including when I used our story to write. The script thing...

It’s just that I figured it out. To put it bluntly, the essence of creating this thing is that I have something to say to the world, but what I should do and what I should say have already been narrated in the process of continuous reincarnation. I've run out of words so I'm not going the same way...

What I need now is to change the angle and experience something different. "

After the girl quietly listened to him, the two of them seemed to be silent in a tacit understanding. Although they were eating vegetables, although there was constant noise in their ears, there was a kind of peace between them that outsiders could not give.

"I've always thought that making a movie is another long-cherished wish of yours besides your family members, whether it's revenge or pursuit, after all, you have persisted in such difficult times..."

The girl's seemingly inadvertent words made He Ranran's chopsticks hover over the hot pot for a slight meal.

The man withdrew his hand, moved his eyes to the side, and there was a color of reminiscence in his eyes. He couldn't help but slowly looked around. The car that started to turn around on the road, the friend who lit a cigarette not far away, squatted on the ground, and called. There is excitement around you and the people in front of you.

He who was still eloquent just now, unexpectedly couldn't say anything at the moment, he just opened the corners of his mouth, and laughed out a word as if in relief:
"Huh~"

Cao Aiqing did not continue to embarrass him, but raised his glass and congratulated:
"Happy birthday."

He Tianran nodded and also raised his glass.

"We... can we even out the story?"

The girl withdrew her hand and looked at him vigilantly. The man immediately changed his words:
"Just today, just tonight!"

"Okay, for your birthday's sake, I can satisfy you today, and it scares you."

Cao Aiqing smiled, their wine glasses collided.

A gust of night wind blew past, slightly disturbing the mist in the hot pot between the two of them, and He Tianran shivered after drinking, feeling very comfortable.

He raised his eyes and looked at the other party. At this moment, Cao Aiqing's cheeks were flushed after drinking a little wine.

Unknowingly, although the faces of the two were clear, their eyes were hazy. Their eyes were lingering only for a moment, and they separated in the next second.

"Cough...the meatballs are ready to eat..."

He Tianran coughed lightly.

"Ah, good..." Cao Aiqing brushed her hair behind her ears, and said involuntarily, "How about... eat the cake first? I'll get too full later... I'll take it apart for you first."

"...Well, thank you."

"Need not……"

Cao Aiqing reached out and took the cake box, and opened the outer seal.

He Tianran looked at her movements and was dazed. The girl buried her head in dismantling the cake gift box. She didn't look up at the man during the period, but her movements were very slow, as if she felt the intention of the other party's gaze. She seemed to be I'm not ready yet, how to face that gaze...

"I didn't have time to ask you before, did I help you after we met Uncle Cao last time?"

"……some."

"...Then you went abroad, do you still need my help?"

He Tianran couldn't help asking, as if expressing something tactfully...

However, Cao Aiqing shook her head.

"Naturally, I don't have any unpleasant memories during my years abroad. I remember that I said that those were the days when my heart was the most peaceful."

She pushed the disassembled cake between the two of them, took out a candle, lit it with the flame of the charcoal stove, and gently inserted it in the center of the cake.

She stared at the gently flickering candle, and the flames were reflected in the girl's pupils, like incense before Buddha.

"Make a wish," she said.

The appearance of a girl has a special charm.

But then, the burning wick was cynically blown by the man.

"forget it……"

Cao Aiqing heard these three words in her ear, and as the candle went out, she finally looked at He Tianran who was facing him again, and saw a warm and open-minded smile on the man's face, which looked really... beat!
"What are you doing?"

Cao Aiqing was suddenly a little annoyed.

"I don't even worship Bodhisattvas when I enter a temple, so why don't you ask me to make a wish on my birthday?"

He Tianran smiled.

Cao Aiqing has a deep understanding of this point, and she doesn't know where He Tianran's stinking problem came from, but because it's the other party's birthday, she can live it however she wants, and Cao Aiqing is not easy to get angry, so she just frowned and asked:
"Then you don't have any wishes?"

"Will that come true?" He Tianran asked back.

"If you don't, it certainly won't come true."

"Is that so..."

He Tianran didn't quite understand why Cao Aiqing was bothered about this, maybe it was because he had violated her good intentions and just blew out the candles in a foolish way. After all, when things like "ritual sense" were going on, it would be a bit unpleasant if they didn't cooperate. up.

He joked:
"But instead of wishing on this six-inch chocolate cake, I might as well make a wish on you, a living Bodhisattva."

Cao Aiqing closed her eyes, took a breath, and said coldly:

"Today is your birthday, I don't care if you are joking, but if you still want to say something to save me and fulfill your long-cherished wish, then you can shut up."

"Then... I wouldn't be so ignorant..."

The man picked up a plastic knife, cut the cake into small pieces, put it on a paper plate and handed it over. He continued casually:

"The specific wish, I can't say it, but thanks to you, you didn't embarrass me, so that my life can be peaceful for such a period of time recently. This is something I am very grateful for. Maybe this is what I have always wanted... ..."

Cao Aiqing was silent for a while.

"I thought you were going to say, you want to go back in time again or something."

He Tianran was taken aback.

"Why do you think so?"

Cao Aiqing said slowly:

"Because you have always wanted to fulfill my long-cherished wish, but once I disappear like Wen Liang, your world will probably change again. At that time, without me and without Wen Liang, no one in this world will remember what you have done , so the best way is to let you go back to the original point with your memory, so that nothing will happen again, and preserve a new world. In this way, at least you can meet some acquaintances in your memory."

"..."

This is undoubtedly a very tempting conjecture, but after He Tianran thought about it, he still shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"This is not my wish, and I don't want to go back to the past..."

"why?"

"..."

The charcoal stove is hot, and the tumbling soup seems to be boiling the whole street.

The wind and frost of those winter nights seemed to have been absorbed into He Tianran's eyes, and when he looked at the fire, only the clarity of melting ice and snow remained.

He said: "Because this time, I want to be more ambitious, I should move forward..."

Ai Qing's thoughts flashed all over the place, her face flushed slightly, her heart pounded, and she suddenly fell silent.

"..."

"..."

Is He Tianran drunk?

Is what he said true?
Cao Aiqing flew past with a few flashes of thought, but if she wanted to tell them apart, it might be very simple.

The string of prayer beads that can travel through time is in her bag. This is a gift, as long as you take it out and put it in front of him, everything will have an answer.

Only, she didn't.

Because when this man gradually shakes off his old anger and is determined to move forward wholeheartedly, he should not be told that there is still a way out behind him, otherwise, it will appear cruel.

And Cao Aiqing doesn't want to do this temptation anymore...

"You can say that, I think I can trust you once."

The girl calmed down and said so.

He Tianran laughed and said, "Because today is my birthday?"

At first, I thought it would be extremely difficult for Cao Aiqing to believe this. After all, he is a man with a "conviction record". Easy to trust.

Cao Aiqing shook her head, "It's not because of this, but when I went back to school a few days ago, I saw you and Jiang Xixi."

In a trance, He Tianran remembered that three days ago, he did catch a glimpse of Cao Aiqing among the crowd listening to the piano, so he was right that day...

"Ah, that day...that day Xixi gave me her piano, and she said she didn't play the piano anymore, so...we said goodbye." He Tianran said with a smile.

"Why is that so, aren't you ready to start a new life?" Cao Aiqing asked.

"Because we want to start a new life, we should say goodbye to some old people and things in a serious way."

"..."

Cao Aiqing was speechless.

He Tianran took a bite of the cake and smiled: "I didn't say that I let go completely, I'm just trying to return to the ordinary life of a normal person."

The girl was a little dumbfounded by this statement, and she said: "You also know that you were abnormal before? Why don't you tell me what a normal person looks like in your understanding?"

"You are a living example."

"I?"

He Tianran shrugged:

"At least for most normal people, it should be Xie Jing insensitive, right? Because these are too tormenting and heavy.

I'm actually very envious of the state you've shown me, Ai Qing.

Ah Liang seems to be a free and easy person, but she is too obsessed. She shows her face when she meets me. She loves me so much, which is a great blessing to me, but it is a burden to her. Under the circumstances, I went to fall in love with her, in exchange for a relief, I will feel so heart-wrenchingly tired.

This is where the two of you are most different.

A Liang, she is fake and easy, and Ai Qing, you are really open-minded. Sometimes I think, we become crazy because of love, but our nature is not like this...

So, love as much as you want, talk as much as you need to, occasionally reluctant to let go, intermittently sad, this is a normal person. I want to be a normal person and try to live a normal life. "

Seeing that Cao Aiqing was silent after listening, He Tianran raised his cup and joked:

"What's the matter, I didn't make a vow on my birthday to embarrass the Bodhisattva, shouldn't the Bodhisattva offer me a drink?"

It was rare for the girl to follow his wit once, and she also brought up the wine and smiled:
"It seems that your time in the library was not in vain. It seems that you have realized some principles such as resting in love with passing water, turning around in bitter seas, and realizing Lan Yin early."

He Tianran waved his hand, and hurriedly said: "I haven't reached such a great state, but behind the twelve characters you said, there is a more famous sentence, and I have realized a little bit of that."

Cao Aiqing thought for a while, the twelve words she used as a metaphor came from the opera "Suolin Nang", and when it came to the opera words that were more suitable for He Tianran's current situation, the girl opened her mouth and read uncertainly:

"This is the unpredictability of this life. I don't want to be reunited today...?"

Sure enough, at this point, only Cao Aiqing can express He Tianran's little thoughts of Wenqing's mischief.

"That's right, the right way is right, looking back at the prosperity is like a dream, and the remaining life is a wisp~ Jing~tao~"

This feeling that someone can catch what's in his heart made He Tianran feel very happy. At the end, he sang a few lines out of tune, and then he collided the wine in the cup with Cao Aiqing's, and drank it happily .

"嘁~"

Cao Aiqing didn't bother to look at the other party's embarrassed appearance, she turned her head away, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"By the way, what about my birthday present?"

He Tianran asked suddenly, Cao Aiqing gave him a blank look.

"No."

"Huh? You bought all the cakes for me, so you haven't prepared any birthday presents?"

"Not ready!"

It was originally there, but it seems that there is no need to give it to him.

"Okay~ bah~ I'm really looking forward to it."

He Tianran didn't force it either. At this time, Guo Huai, who had been talking on the phone, finally came back.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's been so long and I'm back late, have you cut your cake? What are you talking about? I was on the phone just now, and I saw that you were chatting with gusto."

bang-

He Tianran put a bottle of wine directly in front of Guo Huai's eyes.

"After you come back, it would be better to punish you to show off some things. Old Guo, since you watched so carefully, don't you know that we cut the cake just now? Which little sister are you talking on the phone with? We talked for so long !"

Guo Huai quickly explained:
"Oh, it's either my little sister or my mother called me..."

While Guo Huai was speaking, He Tianran obviously felt Cao Aiqing's shoulders tremble, and the expression on his face was a little stagnant...

It seems that although Cao Aiqing and Guo Huai have become strangers, the shadow of being bitten by a snake and being afraid of well ropes for ten years is still deeply imprinted in her heart...

Just listen to Guo Huai continue:
"Isn't this a rare break for me? A few days ago, I told her the news that I became the president of the student council. Fortunately, it was New Year's Day in a few days. My mother planned to come to the University of Hong Kong to visit me. She took me It's not easy to pull her up, so I also want to take this opportunity to take her around Hong Kong City and Hong Kong University."

It's only natural for others to want to be filial, but now that He Tianran can do it, he can only change the topic, he said:
"Don't talk so much, show me the wine first."

"All right, all right, I accept the punishment, accept the punishment."

It could be seen that Guo Huai was in a good mood. He picked up the bottle and blew into his mouth. After two or three sips, he wiped his mouth and said something that made everyone in the room feel uneasy:
"Then what, naturally, Ai Qing, wait for my mother to come in two days, can you two show up? My mother has always been worried that I have no friends in school with my personality, so I have always been with her since high school. Speaking of you two, she also wanted to thank you for taking care of me all the time when she came here this time, so she just said a few words."

"I guess I won't have time after New Year's Day."

Cao Aiqing rebuffed her first, with a frighteningly cold tone.

Guo Huai was a little disappointed when he heard the words, he looked at He Tianran and said, "What about you naturally, you must have time, right?"

He Tianran first said with a straight face: "What's the matter, I usually look very idle, don't I?"

"This... definitely not." Guo Huai said awkwardly.

He Tianran thought about it, and he didn't want to embarrass the other party so much. After all, this dutiful son did not have the memory of the prophet like the two, and his current intentions were also good intentions, so He Tianran said:
"Let's see when my aunt will come. If I'm fine, it doesn't matter if I see you. Let me explain first. I'm not very good at dealing with these elders. My dad and I are even arguing."

When Guo Huai saw that he had agreed to say yes, Cao Aiqing gave him a surprise look.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Lao Guo, where is my birthday present?"

When He Tianran changed the subject, Guo Huai completely lost the wit and vigor of the student council president, and returned to the honest and honest man, and a word popped out of his mouth in a daze:
"what?"

"What are you, a birthday present."

Guo Huai scratched his head and said, "It's not natural... don't you think I'll have a heart-to-heart drink with you, wouldn't you be happy?"

This remark was so serious that even He Tianran was stunned when he said it. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Oh shit, you, the president of the student council, are so handsome. You even poured out your heart and soul to have a drink with me. I'm so happy, I'm so happy. If you don't have a gift, you don't have a gift. You still do this with me, who taught you?" Yours?"

Guo Huai's eyes fluttered, Cao Aiqing sighed and silently supported his forehead.

When He Tianran saw this scene, he made up his mind, and silently picked up a piece of cake.

"Old Guo, do you know what the wish I made when I blew out the candles just now?"

"what?"

"I hope...we will all live like human beings in the future!"

He Tianran made a pun, Cao Aiqing was in a trance for a while, only Guo Huai didn't understand, but he couldn't allow him to think too much, and the cake in He Tianran's hand suddenly slapped him in the face!

Guo Huai, who had a chocolate cream face, looked so innocent. He took off the glasses on his face, revealing his eyes that had not been affected by the cake, and said in a funny and helpless way:

"Then what...isn't it usually the one whose face was smeared on the birthday?"

Cao Aiqing reacted much faster than him, and urged: "Don't be dazed, Guo Huai, you're messing with him!"

He Tianran had quick hands and quick eyes, and took the leftover cake in his hands.

"You little bitch is still screaming, do you really think of yourself as a Bodhisattva? See if I don't pull you off the altar today!"

The man made a gesture to bully Cao Aiqing, and Cao Aiqing was so frightened that her face paled. She screamed, and regardless of her image, she closed her eyes, grabbed her share of cake, and threw it at He Tianran's face, then got up and went want to run.

Before He Tianran could make a move, he was smashed into a mouthful of chocolate flavor, and the color of the chocolate was quite interesting, it was like something stuck on his face...

"Who am I... Cao Aiqing, I'll let you buy chocolate!"

All of a sudden, the people who bought the cake were running, the people who celebrated the birthday were chasing after them, and there was another person whose face was covered with a paste, whose glasses he couldn’t see anything, who followed at the end and didn’t know how to stop him. The young people watched the excitement of the young people, so they drank wine and smiled knowingly.

……

……

That night, He Tianran went back with Guo Huai, who was unconscious from drinking.

This honest man seems to really want to have a drink with his heart and soul to make himself happy.

The weather was very cold at night, and the moon in the sky was covered with a thin layer of hairy fog, and the light sprinkled on the road became a lot more distant.

"It looks like it's going to rain tomorrow."

He Tianran looked up for a moment, shook his body, and moved Guo Huai on his back so that it would be more comfortable for him to carry him.

"Um……"

Cao Aiqing answered plainly, but the thoughts in her mind stopped and turned, and even the overlapping shadows on the ground seemed bright and dark.

"What are you thinking?" He Tianran, who didn't feel that he was making fun of himself, asked proactively.

"I was thinking, when will you say goodbye to me." Cao Aiqing revealed what was in her heart.

What is she referring to?
This ambiguous and decisive rhetorical question made He Tianran feel a little at a loss.

If she meant to say goodbye on the way back to bed, then it would be like some small feelings between ambiguous men and women; but if she asked what He Tianran said before, saying goodbye to the old past seriously, what does that mean? It's completely reversed.

"I don't know, but there is no doubt that there will always be such a moment. Do you want this time to come farther or closer?"

"How close can it be?"

"I can tell you when I get to the door of the dormitory."

"How far can it go?"

"It depends on how long I can live, or how long you can live..."

Cao Aiqing stopped at once, shook her head helplessly, and said in a funny and angry way:

"He Tianran, you are really...very smart, Guo Huai pours you so much, don't you get drunk?"

Brother Tianran hiccupped and said with a smile: "How dare I get drunk in front of you? You have shadows, so do I. Besides, I'm an old riddle man anyway. You play these things in front of me. This is not in front of Guan Gong." Playing with a big knife?"

Cao Aiqing glared at him.

"It seems that you are not sober anymore, let's go, you can send Guo Huai back by yourself."

"Not much to give away? It will be here soon!"

"It's coming soon and you want me to deliver it? I don't care about you."

After Cao Aiqing finished speaking and walked forward, He Tianran turned Guo Huai on his back again, and followed behind her.

The girl said she wanted to leave, but in fact the two of them were separated by more than ten meters. When they reached the Shuanggang apartment, He Tianran shouted and went in. The girl who had been walking in front didn't look back, but her pace was a little faster. point.

After going up to the apartment building, after He Tianran carried Guo Huai back to his room to settle down, he went back to his dormitory, took a shower and lay down on the bed, almost half an hour passed.

He picked up his phone and looked at it. Because of his birthday, He Tianran received a lot of congratulatory messages, some from his classmates, some library colleagues like Yao Qingtao, others like Wang Ma, Bai Wenyu, Tao Wei, and even He Tianran. Yuan Chong is a member of this family, but He Panshan is the only one who doesn't.

He focused on the news sent by his mother. Without the family banquet, Bai Wenyu's news seemed more earnest. As for Tao Wei, the stepmother, she was more concerned with persuading him about his relationship with his family.

Since the last time he made clear his attitude towards his family in front of He Panshan, Tao Wei has worked hard on this aspect, but the strange thing is that his own mother didn't mention this matter, logically speaking, Bai Wenyu and Wang Ma are so close, so they shouldn't be ignorant of it. Presumably, either He Panshan sealed the family's mouth, or Bai Wenyu pretended not to know.

Stop thinking about these bad things, He Tianran was covered with a big quilt, and the phone was ready to go to sleep as soon as he put it down, but he couldn't die, the phone vibrated a few times as soon as he put it down.

Reluctantly, he picked it up again and looked at it. It turned out that it was sent by Cao Aiqing, and the content was a poem...

He Tianran watched and sat up from the bed. He turned on the night light on the computer desk, found a half pack of cigarettes abandoned in the corner after a long absence, and silently lit it.

Zhan Lantian: "When did you fill in the words?"

Orange Sea: "Just now, it was my birthday present for you."

Zhan Lantian: "Thank you, I... I don't know what to say..."

Orange Sea: "If you don't know how to say it, don't say it. I'm asleep. You should go to bed early too. Don't go back."

The general meaning of that word, if someone who does not know He Tianran's experience, probably will not understand the meaning contained in it, even though Cao Aiqing has already said that he should not return, but He Tianran still replied:
"Thank you, I like it very much, I really like it..."

Sent message, no reply.

In the middle of the night when he was 21 years old, this man named He Tianran looked at his mobile phone for a long time, and in those words, he related to himself, sad and silent...

I saw the words in the chat box, which were written like this——

"Partridge Tian He Natural
The anxious scene is only suitable for autumn in the year of withering, and the sad wind leaves behind the sound of pain.

The young man has already agreed to go down the heavy building, to provoke the world and start all over again.

Outside Lingding, in the middle of the road, half of the heartless world is sad.

But I pity this night for a long time, and congratulate Tianran for her freedom. "

(ps: I don’t need Baidu anymore. The words written by Sao Sao themselves use new rhymes. The words “lou” and “cong” are not flat, but I won’t change them. Young Rhythm, you are right to slap you.)
