Chapter 105 Childhood
Zheng Yan married Xiao Ye for more than two years, but she never lived a safe life. This is what Xiao Ye owed her. Now her life is about to end, and Xiao Ye should satisfy her wish. He walked out of the room and said to Xiao Yu who was guarding the door: "Ninth brother, go in and see her."
"Really?" Xiao Yu couldn't believe it. He always felt that Zheng Yan must have hated him.
Xiao Ye nodded, "Really, Yan'er just wants to see you now."
Xiao Yu looked back at the grandma who was standing behind and was being supported by Xu Ma, crying constantly. The grandma also nodded at him, "Yu'er, go."
Xiao Yu took the first step and mustered up the courage to walk in. Zheng Yan is now depressed. Although her body still hurts very much, she no longer has the strength to call her and the child cannot be born. She understands it.
In a trance, she seemed to see Xiao Yu walking towards her. He was still a handsome young man, like many years ago. But why was his eyes full of sadness when he looked at him? What was he sad? Zheng Yan was thinking, but Xiao Yu spoke: "Yan'er..."
It turns out that all this is not illusion, nor is it a dream.
Zheng Yan hurriedly turned her face away. She knew that she must be very ugly now. Due to pregnancy, she has gained a lot of weight. Her cheeks must be chubby. In addition, her eyes must have become empty and unconscious. After a long period of fatigue, she must have dark circles. And, as well as her mouth. Zheng Yan licked her mouth, which was indeed very dry, with a cracked skin on it, and it must have looked bloodless.
"Yan'er, are you still unwilling to face me?" Xiao Yu walked forward a few steps.
"Don't! Don't come over. Don't come over. I'm... ugly now."
When Xiao Yu heard the first few words, he felt that Zheng Yan still didn't want to see him. When he came to the next few words, he couldn't help feeling distressed. "Yan'er, no, I won't dislike you."
"But I dislike myself! Brother Yu, I beg you... don't... don't look at what I am now." Zheng Yan's words were almost crying. Although she was yelling, her voice was extremely low, and she had no strength anymore.
"Okay, okay, I can't go there, I can't go there."
Zheng Yan felt relieved. Although Xiao Yu did not abide by their engagement, Zheng Yan still believed him very much.
"Brother Yu, I am not pretty, I rely on dressing and dressing up. Now I am so embarrassed, I must be even uglier. So, I don't want you to see me. I hope that after I die, Brother Yu can still tell others that my cousin is a beautiful girl." When Zheng Yan said the last few words, she deliberately used a rough voice to imitate Xiao Yu's words. She originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but Xiao Yu felt even more uncomfortable.
"I promise you. But my cousin is a beautiful girl."
"Brother Yu doesn't have to lie to me. If I were really beautiful, you wouldn't have left on the day of the wedding."
Xiao Yu didn't know how to explain this matter, but the next second, Zheng Yan smiled, not a grievance or self-deprecating smile, but from the heart, as pure as a child's laughter. She laughed and said, "Brother Yu, do you remember? When you were young, you were very timid and even a grasshopper was afraid to die. I often catch grasshoppers to scare you, so you hide in the corner and keep saying, "Baby Yan'er, Bad Yan'er."
It turned out that she remembered what happened at that time.
"Yes, I was really brave at that time, and I didn't even dare to kill a little spider. Actually, it's the same now, so I can't inherit the legacy of my ancestors and become a general. I can't even kill a little spider, so how can I kill the enemy on the battlefield?" Xiao Yu also followed her and smiled mockingly.
Zheng Yan paused and said, "No. Brother Yu was not timid later. You didn't dare to kill that little spider. You were just afraid that his relatives would be sad for it. Brother Yu was kind, so you chose to read the books of sages instead of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. After all, I know that you are the least willing to see others separate from each other."
"Yan'er, I'm not a kind person." Xiao Yu looked at Zheng Yan who turned his back. He had hurt her like that, causing her to lose her life's happiness, but why did she still say good things about him today?
Zheng Yan couldn't understand. She obviously hated Xiao Yu so much, but at the end of her life, she just wanted Xiao Yu to spend it with her. In fact, those so-called hatreds are just self-deception. In life, who can form a deep hatred with the person she likes the most? Love is ultimately greater than hatred.
"Brother Yu, do you still remember Yan'er's favorite animal?" Zheng Yan asked.
"Of course I remember it was a fireflies. When you were young, you always caught fireflies to play with it."
"But every time I catch fireflies, I will be scolded by you, and then you will release the fireflies I have caught through so much hardship. You say they are life, and life is to be free, so that I can come to the world in vain. Every time you release those fireflies, I am angry on the surface, but not in the heart. I am happy inside, because I know that my brother Yu is a kind and kind person, and I feel that I like the best person in the world."
Zheng Yan said to herself that she liked Xiao Yu, but she would not ask Xiao Yu if she had liked her, because she could clearly feel that Xiao Yu really liked her when she was a child. It was just that a man was born with a bad luck, and he changed his mind later.
"Yan'er, if there is a next life, don't meet me again."
"Well. I think so too. If there is a next life, I will definitely not meet Brother Yu. I want to like an ordinary man, he will not change his mind, nor will he let me down. I will give birth to children for him and I will have to live with him for the rest of my life." Zheng Yan's mouth was raised, and this sentence was like a joke, but the tears in the corners of her eyes could not stop slid down.
She continued, "But Brother Yu. Yan'er doesn't want to die yet. Yan'er is still so young and has not experienced the happiness of the world... If there is no next life, what should Yan'er do..."
"Yan'er, believe me, there will be something." Xiao Yu was not sure, but he was confident in saying this sentence, and he must be confident, because now, only him can make Zheng Yan feel a little at ease.
Zheng Yan was indeed not so scared. She seemed to see herself when she was a child, and Xiao Yu when she was a child. They were laughing and playing together. There were colorful clouds in the sky and tender grass at the bottom of her feet. "Brother Yu, I saw you."
This is probably a sign of death. What comes to Zheng Yan’s mind is the happiest picture of her life.
"What?"
"Brother Yu, I regret it. I will meet you in the next life, I will catch grasshoppers and scare you, and I will also watch fireflies and stars in the sky with you..."
After saying this, Zheng Yan no longer made any noise.
"Yan'er?" Xiao Yu shouted tentatively, but no one responded.
"Yan'er?"
...
It seems that Zheng Yan is really dead.
She died in the lawn with grasshoppers, in the summer night with cicadas, and in the childhood she spent with Xiao Yu.
She was finally relieved and finally no longer had to bear the pain for the rest of her life.
She can no longer hear the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness of the world, and she can no longer hear the hysteria of others.
She just stayed on that summer night with fireflies.
This is the best.
