Trajectory 2: entangled curves

"Yes," he answered, firmly.

Huang Cangran was so serious, but Zhuge Qinuo was holding back his laughter: "Why?"

"There's a saying that goes 'A toxic fan only breaks down with a real sister-in-law', you don't understand that, do you?"

"Real sister-in-law?" Zhuge Qinuo finally had a reason to laugh, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Stop laughing," Huang Cangran stepped forward and covered her mouth, "Didn't I tell you to be gentler? Don't disturb Chengcheng and Xinxin."

"Don't worry, it's soundproof!"

She laughed at his naivety, his misunderstandings, his mistakes over the years, and his "poisonous tongue" that time could not take away.

She laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She couldn't tell whether it was a physiological or psychological reaction.

Huang Cangran couldn't stop it. Seeing the tears in her eyes, he would not stop her. That might be her indulgence, but it was more likely her pain.

"You know him so well, is it necessary?" Finally, she stopped laughing, took out her cell phone and handed it to him.

"What are you doing?" Huang Cangran asked puzzledly.

"For your reference," she said.

Huang Cangran turned his head away: "I don't do this kind of thing."

Zhuge Qinuo smiled: "We didn't do anything else, he left."

Huang Cangran: "He is still a human being."

"But," he went on, "I told him I was divorced."

They are all adults, and Huang Cangran knew that Zhuge Yihua left because of her reputation, but she told him that she was divorced, undoubtedly to allay his concerns.

She opened the dialog box she and Zhuge Yi had drawn and handed it to Huang Cangran again: "You must see it."

Huang Cangran took the phone. The interface was very clean, with only their conversation today.

Zhuge Yihua sent out several sentences.

"Are you still awake? Open the door!"

"Where have you been? I'm at the door."

"I have something to say to you."

Zhuge Qinuo replied: "No need. I have already gone home."

Zhuge Yihua: "I'm coming to find you."

Zhuge Qinuo: "That's not necessary. I'm not the person you think I am."

Zhuge Yihua: "We lost too much time. You could have kept it from me."

Zhuge Qinuo: "I'm not hiding it from you. I'm just being honest. I can also be honest enough to admit that when I see you, I do have different feelings than when I see others. That's because we have a past that others don't have, that's all. I told you that I'm divorced because I don't want you to have any burden or worries."

Zhuge Yihua: "Let's not miss each other again. When I see you again, I'll know that I haven't let you go. I don't want us to miss each other again. If the time interval is too long, we can start over and make up for the missed time later."

Zhuge Qinuo said: "In fact, the path you have taken is not far away. You realize that what you did today is right and what you did yesterday is wrong. You understand that the past cannot be changed, but you know that the future can be pursued."

"Professor Zhuge, the inspection went smoothly."

Zhuge Yihua: "If life could only be like the first time we met. May the rest of your life be peaceful, Zhuge Qinuo."

No wonder she laughed. In her eyes, I was just a joke.

"Why are you showing me this?" he asked knowingly.

"Untie your knot." She replied.

"I don't have any grudges. As for you, just know it!" He said, "You sleep well. I'm leaving. I'm taking a flight back to the United States at noon."

"Go home? You don't even know where home is?" She teased, "You leave when you say you'll leave, and come back when you say you'll come back. I just realized that I still don't know what you've been doing all these years."

"Finally you care about me. It's rare. Then wait for you to slowly explore and discover." Huang Cangran said, standing up, "My feet are numb."

Zhuge Qinuo: "It's so late, I have a guest room, you can sleep in it."

Huang Cangran: "Who wants to sleep in your guest room? I'm leaving."

Zhuge Qinuo did not stop him: "Go slowly, I won't see you off. Please close the door gently."

Huang Cangran: "I know! Just sleep peacefully."

Huang Cangran went out and drove home.

Today is yesterday, and the future is still to come. He understood that she was telling him that she had let go of Zhuge Yihua. All his concerns and obsessions suddenly collapsed. Yes, she had untied his knot. But he had new questions, and he couldn't understand her anymore.

She told Zhuge Yihua that she was honest and that she didn't want to lie to him. He told Zhuge Yihua that he was not far from the right path, and that today was different from yesterday. Who has ever been lost? Zhuge Yihua, what about her, Huang Cangran? Was he the lost person she was talking about? Was he also her "yesterday" and her "past"?

That's why she asked him to look at his phone. She said this to Zhuge Yihua, but also to him. From some perspectives, he and Zhuge Yihua have many similarities. So, what she said about untying the knot in her heart was not only for him to Zhuge Yihua, but also for herself.

Fortunately, compared to Zhuge Yihua, he is still luckier. At least, he still has the cloak of "brother".

Huang Cangran suddenly felt a little fortunate. Compared to love, family affection seemed to make people less guarded and harder to get rid of.

Zhuge Qinuo didn't think so much. She should break up when necessary, give up when necessary, and leave when necessary. This is her responsibility to everyone. It's just that life is short, and she just wants to be kind to everyone who is truly kind to her. Huang Cangran deserves her kindness. Obviously, not having an imaginary enemy will make him feel more relaxed. This is also a way for her to be kind to him.

But the things about the two of them were complicated and tangled. She really hoped that he could forget the past and look forward, just like he sent to Zhuge Yihua on WeChat. She hoped that he would be happy. However, how much of their past he remembered and how much he let go was not something she could decide. Besides, he and Zhuge Yihua were different.

Zhuge Qinuo felt tired and went to sleep.

In her dream, she saw Zhuge Yihua.

In the long river of time, she and he met. He was a scholar with brilliant literary talent, and she was a girl walking out of the sunshine, just like a flower quietly blooming, opening up a world that belonged only to them. There, the talented and beautiful couple had love, with gentle eyes, caring words and endless attachment to each other. They strolled on the paths together, cuddled up in the sunset, and expressed their lovesickness in letters. They felt love in every hand-holding and hug, and saw the whole world in each other's eyes.

That dream was too real and too beautiful.

When she woke up from the dream, she thought she had let it go completely, but she was still in tears. It was for herself, but it seemed not to be for herself.

Every love word in the dream converges into colors, intersecting into a flower, fragrant and gorgeous. Every moment of getting along is like that leaf, ordinary but containing the meaning of the universe. The world of flowers and the universe of leaves are wonderfully integrated, interpreting greatness in the details and blooming splendidly in the ordinary.

A flower blooms, a world opens up; a leaf blossoms, a pursuit opens up.

Is this dream also a world?

It should be counted, this is the best explanation for that sentence, isn’t it?

If that counts, then...

"Zhuge Yihua and Zhuge Qinuo in my dream, I hope you can stay together for life in another parallel time and space and never leave each other." She said this silently.

At this moment, she could finally let go of everything about Zhuge Yihua. She deleted his WeChat to stop him from having any illusions.

She knew that he would understand what she meant, and she also knew that he could still have a bright future without her.
