Orange Cat Bodhisattva finally found the commonality between them in these three words spoken by Cao Aiqing.
"Actually, it's all the same. I just brought this situation forward. That string of beads has the ability to travel through time and space. You can just imagine, if He Tianran really doesn't regret being with you in the future, then why would he use it? Woolen cloth?"
The cat's playful tone stimulated Cao Aiqing's nerves, and the girl asked doubtfully:
"But I didn't give him the beads..."
"You will give it to me." The Bodhisattva said with certainty in his tone, "Although I don't know when he will use it, but I will subtly ask you to hand the bracelet to him at the end of the month. In fact, I didn't do anything wrong. Is it? I just told you the answer in advance. If there are no problems in your relationship, then this answer will not be used. "
Only now did Cao Aiqing finally understand the whole story. It turned out that the Bodhisattva in her heart had already vaccinated her.
After listening to the cat's explanation, the girl thought for a long time. She is a child with strong empathy, especially when it comes to her lover. He Tianran used the word "tacit understanding" to describe the relationship between them. , so there is no doubt that she will try to understand what the boy has done, even though this understanding is filled with great sadness...
"...Of course he is not a saint. If you lift a piece of glass above your head and let it fall, it is bound to break. In fact, you already know the answer. You just asked me again."
As Cao Aiqing gathered her thoughts, Orange Cat Bodhisattva licked her paws.
"It's really strange... No matter how long it takes, we will still do the same thing. The difference between us is that you will use your kindness on others, while I will keep it for myself."
Facing Meowth's emotion, the girl didn't answer. She just followed her own thoughts, with a look of memory in her moist eyes, and she said slowly and softly:
"Last year during the autumn outing, we got separated from the group. On the way up the mountain, we naturally talked about his relationship. He once said that Wenliang was the first person to come into his life. He described her as It became a beam of light shining into his own dark world. The reason why they were not together later was because that person changed and could never be found again..."
The orange cat listened silently. Cao Aiqing's expression became increasingly sad, but he continued:
"And now, he has the opportunity to find that person again and hold his own light again. So, why doesn't he go? We are all ordinary people among all living beings. We cannot escape human nature or violate our instincts. There are so many regrets in life. If it were me, I don’t think I could resist such temptation..."
Having said this, Cao Aiqing stretched out a hand, gently stroked the fur on the orange cat, and said with a trembling voice:
"I finally understand why nature cries for warmth... Because this kind of loss is really a very sad thing..."
Gradually, the orange cat felt the girl's fingertips and trembled slightly. She retracted her hand and buried her face deeply in her arms, sobbing with the sound of rain, and the tears and rain came back thousands of times. The ground fell in the dream.
When the glass of humanity fell to the ground, her heart also broke.
Didn't Cao Aiqing regard He Tianran as a beam of light in his life?
"I am not sad at all. You pick your moon, you love your starlight, and I, by my fireworks, wait for the dawn."
This is Cao Aiqing, a girl whose heart is as pure as poetry, who is as soft on the outside as tough on the inside, but she is still sad and sad, because in the end, she still cannot wait for her own dawn...
She could understand He Tianran, but she couldn't forgive him. There was never an equal sign between empathy and humiliation, because they were completely different things.
"After today, just live a good life, I will protect you."
The Bodhisattva said to the girl.
Cao Aiqing cried to herself for a while, wiped her tears quietly, and asked with a sob:
"Why...you appear next to me?"
The cat-like Bodhisattva raised its forelimbs, supported the girl's knees, looked at the innocent and childish face, and said without any hesitation:
"Because I want to see you doing well."
I want to see you live well. This is the only wish of Cao Aiqing, whose heart has long been desolate and withered, and who came from time to time.
"But... I'm sorry... I don't seem to be having a good life..."
The girl's voice was inaudible, and the self-blame in her tone was so heartbreaking.
"I can help you."
"What are you going to do?"
"Close your eyes."
Hearing the words, the girl subconsciously closed her eyes. Then, she felt a breeze blowing against her face. The rain in her dream gradually stopped. The girl's body seemed to be gently embraced by someone, and a warmth surged in her heart, like Someone really found her in the dream and hugged her tightly.
This strange yet familiar sense of fulfillment seemed to be slowly filling her sorrow. Cao Aiqing couldn't help but open her eyes. The docile orange cat was no longer there, replaced by a cat exactly like her, but There was a touching woman whom she called "Bodhisattva".
The Bodhisattva turned into a human form, but his face was like a piece of pale ice, cold, graceful, decisive, and also had a fragile feeling that made people pity.
This feeling of fragility is like the cracks that have been repaired after being riddled with holes. Under the cover of the beautiful appearance, there is a kind of incompleteness in the deepest part of the soul.
It can be seen that she has experienced more cruel things than the girl, but such a woman can still bring warmth to people at this time.
Her eyes reflected the young figure, full of love and pity.
When she appeared in the girl's dream, she spoke only of dreams and warnings, but said nothing about her future life.
Yes, there are so many regrets in life, so even Bodhisattvas have human nature.
"If you don't want to face what happens next, let me help you."
"...Will the future be better?"
"It can't get any worse."
The girl was silent for a moment, shook her head, and whispered:
"I...I have one more question, I must ask Tianran..."
"Don't you have an answer?"
"I want to hear him tell me personally."
"good."
The two Cao Aiqing slowly separated from the hug. They looked at each other. The girl said apologetically: "I'm sorry... I should face this by myself..."
The woman smiled softly: "It doesn't matter, we are one person. One day, you will have all my memories."
"Then...what about you?" Cao Aiqing asked uneasily.
The woman pointed at the girl's heart: "Since Ai Qing has Bodhisattva in his heart, then Bodhisattva must be protecting you in your heart."
The girl pursed her lips, "...I'm not a child."
"I'm not old either." The woman responded calmly.
They looked at each other, and the girl with tears in her eyes finally smiled, while the woman's face was full of relief.
The dream slowly dissipated, and seeing the mature self in front of him disappearing little by little, Cao Aiqing said anxiously:
"You...when will you show up to help me?"
The woman once again raised the increasingly transparent catkins, slowly caressed the girl's cheek, and said softly:
"When you ask that question and feel...tired."
…
In reality, the sleeping girl whose pillow was covered with tears finally smiled in the middle of the night.
The fourth volume has come to an end, and there should be about 30,000 to 40,000 words left to finish. The next plot will be very difficult to write. In addition, the work a year ago is also coming to an end, which is just a shudder. Therefore, in order not to affect the quality of this book, Updates may have to be suspended for about ten days. I hope you can understand me. Thank you!
