The Cliff of Eternal Sun

Ji Suian lay down on the bed again, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, he felt a little tired, but he didn't feel sleepy, first he listened intently to the movement in the next room for a while, and didn't hear any unusual noises, then he was slightly relieved and lay down. She closed her eyes on the pillow.

The place where Wei Mu's tears were stained on his shoulders seemed to be still hot, Ji Suian thought, the company has nothing to do tomorrow, so he won't go in the morning, and take Wei Mu to the police station to reapply for an ID card, he can't always be like this Wandering around without a name, if time is enough—he doesn’t want to continue thinking about it, but his consciousness is like flowing water at night, and he will go down uncontrollably—if time is enough, he can go down again. Take Wei Mu to the mall to have his hair cut, it is already long enough to cover his eyes, and by the way, he can buy some more clothes for him... Also, he thought, there are two scary scars, and I have to find someone to inquire about them Find out what is going on, Wei Mu has to go to the hospital for amnesia.

Thinking like this, he finally felt a little sleepy, and in the half-dream and half-awake state, he felt that someone had entered his room.

Ji Suian opened his eyes in the dark, and saw a tall and thin figure at the door, Wei Mu's movements were as light as a cat's, slowly walking towards his bed.

For some reason, Ji Suian didn't move, and when Wei Mu approached, he closed his eyes again, pretending to be still asleep.

The window of the bedroom was open, and the chirping of summer night insects could faintly come in from the outside, making the room even more silent. Wei Mu's slight breathing was getting closer and stopped beside his bed.Ji Suian felt every little sound he made, and felt that he should have sat down. After guessing, he felt that his current behavior was very stupid. It was obviously Wei Mu who sneaked into his room, why did he seem to be the opposite now? The one who hides?

Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Wei Mu's hand stretched out towards him, his heart trembled, and he subconsciously closed his eyes again.

However, the outstretched hand did not land on his face during the long wait. After a long time, Ji Suian felt a piece of warmth sticking to the little finger of his right hand that was placed on the bed.His heart was empty for a moment, and after he realized it, a suffocating sourness suddenly surged up. He opened his eyes and saw Wei Mu leaning forward slightly, carefully pressing his fingers against his. , even in the middle of the night when no one was watching, the most outrageous move he made was just two little fingers touching.

Seeing him waking up, Wei Mu didn't show the slightest panic. He withdrew his hand and was still sitting on the carpet beside the bed, his voice sounded very gentle in the darkness: "You're awake."

Before Ji Suian could reply, he said again: "Don't chase me away, I'll just stay here for a while."

His calm and intimate tone is like every night when the two of them embraced and slept together many years ago. At that time, there were always countless words between the two of them, and they often chatted like this.

Ji Suian looked at him, and this time Wei Mu didn't avoid his gaze, but looked at him quietly. In the slow passage of time, Ji Suian had a premonition in his heart, and he roughly understood Why did Wei Mu come tonight?

He withdrew his gaze, lay down and took a deep breath, then let it out soundlessly, only feeling a faint pain from his lungs to his nasal cavity.

The two of them didn't speak for a long time, but one was sitting quietly and the other was lying quietly. In the end, it was Ji Suian who spoke first.He stared at the fragments of light reflected from the window on the ceiling, and asked Wei Mu in a low voice: "What do you want to ask me on the street?"

Wei Mu shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Ji Suian didn't ask any more questions, and the light in the room didn't know how it came in, it disappeared and appeared with the movement of the wind outside the window.

"In the past few years..." Ji Suian asked these three words and bit them again. A few days ago, he was trying his best to humiliate the other party, fearing that the stabbing would not be enough, but now he asked how he was doing, where did he come from? It's weird in every way.

Ji Suian grabbed a handful of hair in front of his forehead, sat up with one hand on the bed, his handsome face was outlined in the darkness, he turned to Wei Mu, and asked the question in a low voice: How are you doing this year?"

In the darkness, Wei Mu's voice came over gently, saying, "It's pretty good."

As if to increase his persuasiveness, he added: "I made a lot of money."

Ji Suian sneered, and said sarcastically, "With so much money, what do you want?"

Wei Mu also laughed, and said softly: "I donated part of it to the foundation, and the rest will take a long time. You don't need to check the price first when you go to the mall. The expensive suits cost 10,000+ a set."

Ji Suian wanted to sneer at these words, and even feel angry. After all, Wei Mu left him because of this, but he remembered that when Wei Mu needed to buy formal clothes to find a job in his senior year, he brought 2000 He went to the mall with [-] yuan, and the suit he bought in the end only cost [-] yuan, and the remaining [-] yuan bought him a tie.

He was suddenly choked up by that long memory, and felt in his heart that if what Wei Mu wanted was really these, if what he said was true, that would be fine, but——

"How did you get those injuries on your body?"

Wei Mu didn't seem to expect him to ask this question. He paused for a moment, and said in a nonchalant tone: "If you want to get something, you have to pay a similar price."

He said it as it should be, even with a smile, Ji Suian looked at him, and suddenly called his name: "Wei Mu."

Wei Mu gave a soft "hmm".

"Have you regretted it?"

This time the silence was longer than before. After a long time, Wei Mu shook his head and said, "I never thought about it."

This answer made Ji Suian laugh, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at Wei Mu or himself who asked this question.

After a while, he said, "That's good."

Wei Mu looked up at Ji Suian's face, even in the dark, after staying for a long time, he could gradually distinguish the other's eyebrows and eyes.

He didn't lie about this issue, but he never dared to think about it rather than never thought about it, just like he never inquired about Ji Suian's news once in five years, and he never dared to look back and look at the extremely serious situation at the time. The choice he made under pain, from the moment he didn't break away from Zhou Mingchuan's hand on his shoulder, he had no way to turn back.

He heard Ji Suian say to him: "I asked you several questions, now, you can also ask me."

Wei Mu was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Will you be with that person?"

He didn't know that person's name, and he couldn't say it clearly, but both Ji Suian and he knew who it was.

"Not now." Ji Suian answered frankly, "I won't know in the future."

Wei Mu still looked at him without blinking, the expression on his face didn't change much, he still smiled slightly and said, "It's pretty good."

After a few seconds of pause, he spoke again: "You..."

This time, his voice trembled, he pursed his lips, and firmly held the little finger of his right hand that had just touched Ji Suian with his left hand. While his heart was beating unsteadily, he opened his mouth dryly, and uttered a hoarse sentence. Almost silent words: "Do you regret it?"

His hands trembled uncontrollably, and every word seemed to be cut out from the bottom of his heart: "Those years we were together."

There was a whistling wind outside the window, the moon had already sunk somewhere, in the dark room, Ji Suian was sitting on the bed, looking down at the people under the bed, Wei Mu was sitting on the ground, looking up as if waiting for the sword of judgment to fall.

Ji Suian said: "I don't regret the past."

For a moment, Wei Mu seemed to have unloaded a huge burden, his shoulders suddenly relaxed, the light in his eyes flickered slightly, but the corners of his lips curled up.He smiles very obediently and sincerely, like when Ji Suian first met him many years ago, he has a big appetite, he feels good about eating anything, he can run ten kilometers in a row, and he loves to laugh at every turn, like a A cat with a good temper is like a grass growing vigorously in the sun.

He said to Ji Suian, "Thank you."

His life was worth it after all.

Wei Mu stood up from the ground. He glanced at the sky outside the window. At this time, the night was still dark and there was no sign of dawn. He looked away, looked at Ji Suian again, and said softly: "It's still early, you Let's sleep again."

He said it like when the two were together before, he occasionally got up early to drive the car because of business trips, and often got up in the dark at three or four o'clock lightly. After Ji Suian was woken up by him, he wanted to get up and drive to see him off. He refused, and insisted on pushing Ji Suian back to the bed, and said to him like this before he left: "It's still early, you sleep a little longer." People's voices always seemed different in the middle of the night, so that The slightly strange and gentle voice has fallen many times in different nights.

He opened the door, and the sensor light outside the door turned on because of this movement, illuminating the face that Ji Suian was very familiar with and loved deeply.

"Wei Mu." Ji Suian called him suddenly.

Wei Mu stopped his movements and responded lightly, but didn't look back.

Looking at his thin side face, Ji Suian knew that Wei Mu had already remembered everything, and also knew that tonight's conversation was actually a final farewell. He opened his mouth, and the pain in his heart suddenly made it difficult to breathe. The urge to cry.

He wanted to ask Wei Mu where he was going, how to get there, or if he had any money, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and just whispered a few words: "Live well."

Wei Mu turned his head and smiled at him, the light hitting his eyebrows and eyes, just like many years ago.

The door of the room clicked shut. It was obviously a slight movement, but it hit my heart like a loud bang. Afterwards, there was another sound of the door closing outside. Ji Suian sat silently on the bed with his shoulders straight, as if in the dark. A sword that cannot be broken.

After a while, he got out of bed with bare feet, went to the window and looked down. Wei Mu had just walked out of the building. From the height of the sixteenth floor, it looked like a drop of ink in the night.It was still too early, and the sky had no intention of getting brighter. The scattered street lamps in the community gave off a pale light, unable to resist the thick night, and shrank into a small ball.Wei Mu passed them slowly, walking forward step by step, gradually melting into the darkness in the distance.

Ji Suian thought, it would be great if the sky was brighter, at least the sunshine would accompany him.

but.

Looking at the night in front of him, Ji Suian suddenly had an absurd illusion. The tall building in front of him suddenly became thinner and elongated, and the thick darkness was full of edges and corners. Wei Mu walked inside alone.

He stared at Wei Mu's back, waiting for him to turn around, but he didn't either.

In the second bedroom separated by a wall, there was a neatly folded gray pajamas on the head of the bed, next to the cell phone that Ji Suian called once.

﹡

Wei Mu arrived at the foot of the mountain in the evening. This is a very majestic mountain system. I don't know how many years it has been standing here. Even now, there are large areas of barren mountains that have not been developed, and they are very steep.

Wei Mu looked up at it, with a slight smile on his face. The whole day's journey made him look a bit embarrassed, and his lips were dry, but he was in good spirits.After standing still for a while, he walked towards the mountain along a dirt road.

Not far away, I met an old man on the side of the road. He looked about 80 or [-] years old. His waist was so bent that his upper body almost touched the ground. His gray coarse clothes were dirty and covered the big bump on his back. , sitting on a stone by the roadside, next to an old-fashioned wooden cart, which contained a young young sapling.

Although Wei Mu was on his way, he was afraid that something might happen to the old man, so he went over to ask if he needed any help, only then did he know that the old man lived in a village in the mountains, and during the day he pulled a cart down the mountain to sell saplings in the town. Pulling the car home, I couldn't walk halfway and stopped to rest on the side of the road.

Wei Mu wanted to help him push it back, but the old man waved his hand, and said with a strong local accent: "No, no, it's just ahead, it's not far away, I can push it away after a while."

He looked at Wei Mu and asked him: "Which family are you from? Why are you going into the mountains when it's getting dark?"

Wei Mu said vaguely, "I'll just walk around."

The old man stood up holding the handlebar, turned to the cart behind him with difficulty, touched the crown leaves of the sapling protruding from the cart, and asked him, "Young man, do you want to buy this seedling? It costs ten yuan a piece." That’s it, that’s all, and I’ll give you five yuan.”

Wei Mu didn't need any saplings at all, but he squeezed his pockets and took out all the money on his body, more than 40 in total, and handed it all to the old man.The old man refused to take it at first, but he still accepted it under Wei Mu's insistence, and said with trembling lips: "I have met a good person, you are such a kind child..."

He turned around tremblingly to move the sapling, Wei Mu stopped his movement and said, "I can't take it with me, you help me pull it back, just find a place to plant it in this mountain."

The old man looked at him with cloudy eyes, not knowing what he saw.

"It's okay," the old man said, "If you go into the mountain and it's not easy to get it, I'll wait for you here tomorrow, and take it with you when you go down the mountain. This seedling will bloom after a year, just like the sun." Yes, it's beautiful."

Wei Mu said no, but the old man was very persistent. In the end, he pointed out the location of his home and asked him to pick it up when he went down the mountain if he didn't wait for him by the side of the road.

Wei Mu stopped arguing with him, smiled and waved his hands, and walked towards the mountain with the last light of the day.

He reached the top of the mountain before the sun came out the next day, and the cold wind whizzed by. He sat on a rock and looked at the shadows of the dark mountains and trees in the distance. He was alone.

So empty, so lively, so hidden, so conspicuous, he stood up, faced the silent mountains standing in the night, and shouted with all his strength, echoes echoed round and round in the valley, like another him in response.He bit the tip of his tongue, felt the raw taste of blood in his throat, and felt a little indescribably happy, so he laughed loudly again.

There was nothing else on the top of the mountain, only the howling wind, and his laughter seemed more empty and lonely inside.Gradually, he stopped laughing, and stopped shouting loudly, and became quiet again, leaning on the stone and looking at the eastern sky, waiting for the newborn and last sun.

In the darkness before the sun came out, he slowly thought about the past 28 years of his life, from the cramped and dark hut when he first remembered, to the dark puppy hugging in the reeds, to the 16-year-old The road that Nian Suian took care of him in the back, I think of the library in the university, I think of the flowers I planted on the balcony with Ji Suian...

There are still many things behind, but he only had time to think of this, and the end of the distant mountains was faintly white. He felt very lucky to be able to keep the memories of this life in his happiest time.

He stood up in the wind and looked at the distant end of the sky. His head was covered with a layer of white paint, and the pink bottom gradually faded. The outline of clouds floated on it, and the edges were painted with golden light. The eternal warmth The stars are slowly held up by the mountains, the clouds are steaming and the sky is bright.

His heart was filled with an extremely intense joy, his life was as humble as an ant, and now he was standing on the top of the mountain, but he was able to have such a beautiful, spectacular and miraculous sunrise all by himself, that joy almost broke him, Facing the fiery red sun and the ancient mountains, he shouted loudly: "Wei Mu—"

Facing fate, he called the name Liang Yan gave him over and over again: "Wei Mu, Wei Mu, Wei Mu—"

He felt so happy and relaxed before, he shouted loudly, happily, with the strong smell of blood in his throat, tears flowed down his face unconsciously.

He lowered his head and saw the clouds and mist covering his feet, and the abyss was endless.

The excited shouts suddenly twisted and changed their tone, the sun rose higher and higher, and sprinkled golden light on his body without hesitation, and the light and clouds in the distance intertwined, as if weaving a magnificent dream that would never set , he stood in such a warm sun, weeping bitterly.

No one in this world has seen how the incomparably bright sunshine that day spread a golden blanket over the mountains, how a person walked down from above step by step, his shadow was stretched very long, one end was connected to his Footsteps, one end is connected with boundless light.

Originally speaking of an open ending, I wanted to stop at Wei Mu and stand on the top of the mountain, but no matter how I imagined it, I was sure he would come down. Wei Mu, who had died once, would not die a second time, so the final ending It still stopped at the moment when Twilight was walking down the mountain.Thank you for your company and encouragement, and I hope that everyone can show mercy to Xiao Ji and Xiao Wei. If they have something bad, it is because the author did not write well. Thank you again (ps. Fanwai please wait a little longer, I don’t think I really want to write it in the near future, but if I say it, there will definitely be one)
