Finale

32

During the time when it grows into a big tree, Qiuyao spends almost most of the time dormant, waiting from spring to autumn, year after year, waiting for a small sapling to grow into a big tree, waiting for flowering and fruiting.

For a tree, waiting is a part of his long life.

After leaving that sentence, Lu Chunyan hung up the phone without giving Qiuyao any chance.

Qiuyao was shaking with her mobile phone in her hand. He yelled a few times into the phone, only to hear the busy tone of "beep beep".

He froze for a moment, pursed his lips, unwilling to believe what Lu Chunyan said on the phone, held up the phone with trembling fingers and wanted to call back, but no matter how he called afterwards, he couldn't get through.

The bell rang over and over again, but no one answered.

Guo Zhaoan received a message from Lu Chunyan, asking him to go through the formalities for the real estate transfer of the apartment next to the company.Guo Zhao'an has done this kind of thing a few times. Before Lu Chunyan, changing girlfriends was like changing clothes. If you don't talk about true feelings, most of his girlfriends are quite satisfied with him.After all, you can get a car and a house as soon as you break up, and you usually spend a lot of money, who is not satisfied.

Qiuyao has been by Lu Chunyan's side for almost a year. When she came here last winter, she was still a simple little boy who only knew how to be silly every day. Who would have thought that after a year, it would be like this.

After preparing all the materials, Guo Zhaoan came to the apartment. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw a vague black figure at the door of the apartment. He was stunned, and walked quickly. The sensor light turned on, and it was Qiu Yao squatting in the corner of the door.Guo Zhaoan's heart tightened, and he walked to the door, supported Qiuyao's shoulders with both hands, and pulled him up. He sighed and said, "Why are you squatting here?"

Qiu Yao lowered her head and whispered, "I'm waiting for him."

Guo Zhaoan choked for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The boss asked me to come over and talk to you about the real estate transfer. Qiuyao, let's talk inside."

Qiu Yao opened her eyelids slightly, and wanted to say something, but Guo Zhaoan pushed the door open and led him into the room first.

It was actually colder inside the room than outside, Guo Zhaoan shivered as soon as he entered.He took off his shoes, looked at Qiu Yao who was standing motionless at the door, sighed, and said to him: "You will get sick like this, and the boss will be worried if he knows you are like this."

"Will he be worried?"

Qiuyao looked up at him, Guo Zhaoan couldn't bear it, and looked away.He went to the balcony and closed the doors and windows. The cold that poured into the house was blocked by the glass windows. It was better than before. Guo Zhaoan found the remote control of the air conditioner and turned on the warm air.

The weather has been gloomy these past few days, the sun is covered by clouds, and the room is gloomy and gloomy during the day.Guo Zhaoan turned on the light, he put the documents on the table, thought for a long time, and then said: "About the house, Qiuyao... I need some information about you, do you have your ID card and account book?"

Qiu Yao didn't know what she was thinking, and reacted very slowly. After a long time, he said, "I don't have an ID card, and I don't have a family."

Qiu Yao raised his head, looked at Guo Zhaoan, and said softly: "In this world, Lu Chunyan is the first human being I know, I used to regard him as my family, but now he doesn't want me, I don't know who Still my family."

Guo Zhaoan's nose was sore, he turned his head and coughed.

After all, Guo Zhaoan failed to accomplish this matter, and he also told Lu Chunyan after returning home.Lu Chunyan remained silent for a long time, Guo Zhaoan thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.Only then did Lu Chunyan say: "Let him go."

Guo Zhaoan sighed in his heart and nodded slowly.

Everything is as usual, there is still no aunt to clean and cook in that house, and Guo Zhaoan will go there every week, just like before when Qiuyao expressed her heart and was rejected and waited for Lu Chunyan, but the only difference is that that time he waited for Lu Chunyan. It's here, and this time he can't wait.

Everyone didn't have a good time during the Spring Festival today. Lu Chunyan went home with his injury and stayed there for two days. Mother Lu began to arrange a blind date for him in a different way.Lu Chunyan had no choice but to escape from the house in a hurry, stayed in the hotel alone, turned on the TV, and listened to the happy new year all night.

Xu Weihan lived in an old house, and hired four or five nurses here, but he was a proud person after all, and he didn't want anyone to take care of him.On New Year's Eve, he fell in the bathroom, his legs were weak, and he couldn't get up after trying for a long time.

Xu Xia's pregnancy was known by her family. Her mother refused to accept her daughter's unmarried pregnancy, so she went to Meng's house behind Xu Xia's back, but Xu Xia stopped her.Xu's mother pointed at Xu Xia's face and cried that she would regret it, Xu Xia also cried, and said while crying, I would only regret marrying Meng Tao.

Tao Xiao was still in the detention center. Holding Tao Yuan's photo, she slowly hugged herself tightly as she heard the sound of fireworks outside.

Meng Heng came out of a drinking party, vomited a lot, got into a car in a daze, the driver asked him where he was going, he said he didn't know, just keep driving.

Qiuyao stood in front of the apartment door, listening to the laughter coming from the opposite door, he stood for a long time, until the New Year's Eve bell at zero o'clock ended, and he came out of the darkness.

The peach tree was transplanted to the corner of the back door, which is a remote and inconspicuous place. When spring comes, the peach blossoms are all over the wall, but few people go there.Except for the gardener who waters the flowers every day, he will praise how well the flowers bloom, and no one will praise him again.

Guo Zhao'an originally thought that after Lu Chunyan and Qiuyao separated, they would be with Xu Weihan, after all anyone with eyes could see that his concern for Xu Weihan was beyond friendship.

What is puzzling is that they are not together, and the relationship between the two is still the same as before, neither far nor near.

Xu Weihan's legs turned back and forth, and it never got better. He searched both Chinese and Western medicine, but finally came up with one result, that is, he might have to walk with crutches in the future.

Xu Weihan was still holding on to hope, but when he heard this, he didn't know how to react.

That day, when they came back from the hospital, the car drove to the door. Before Lu Chunyan could get his crutches, he had already opened the car door and got out of the car on his own.

When I stepped on the ground, I didn't feel any pain anymore. It was just a feeling of powerlessness, like stepping on a ball of cotton, which couldn't be realized. Then the body tilted, and the person fell directly.

Lu Chunyan immediately went to help him, but Xu Weihan slapped him away, "Don't move, let me get up by myself."

Lu Chunyan froze in place, no one stepped forward, the atmosphere was dead silent, only Xu Weihan was holding back his sobs and rapid breathing.

It rained a lot in the morning, and the ground was still wet. He fell into a puddle, and his neat clothes were stained.Knees rubbed against the ground, and the expensive fabric was frayed again and again, and it was about to tear.Before Xu Weihan was about to collapse, Lu Chunyan stepped forward and hugged him up.

He kept saying to Xu Weihan that it's okay, I'm sorry, but his apology was so feeble.

After the spring rain, the peach blossoms fell to the ground, and some flakes floated into the wall and stuck to the damp bluestone.There are still peach blossoms that have not all faded on the branches of peach blossoms that are higher than the wall.

Lu Chunyan entered the room with Xu Weihan's arms in his arms, and the doctor came soon. Xu Weihan's elbow was scraped and bandaged, and he leaned on the bed with his eyes closed.

Xu Weihan was depressed and didn't want to say anything more.Lu Chunyan came out of the room, Xu Weihan lived in the same room as before, and gently closed the mahogany door.He walked to the corridor, stood in the empty backyard, looked around, and sighed slowly.

The first time I saw Qiuyao was here. The peach blossoms bloomed that day. Qiuyao stood under the peach tree, the branches were full of peach blossoms, and the petals fell when the wind blew, as if it was raining.

Lu Chunyan stood in the yard for a while with a vague fragrance floating in the air, and then walked outside.

After that day, Qiuyao seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the child was never found again.

It is impossible for people to disappear without a trace. Lu Chunyan also asked people to look for them, but they found nothing.Qiuyao seems to have only existed in name.

In fact, Lu Chunyan didn't come to the house very often. After a year, he became very busy and often flew around the world.Xu Weihan is very leisurely, it has not been so cold recently, so he often practices walking in the yard.

After the summer, the peach tree that had had no flowers or fruits for more than ten years finally produced peaches. The peaches covered the branches, and slowly turned from green to pink. When they were about to ripen, they were picked by the flower farmers.

During the dog days, the cicadas kept chirping, and the watermelon was brought up from the well, and the green skin was covered with a layer of coolness.Lu Chunyan walked through the yard wearing a thin short shirt. He opened the door and walked into the room. It didn't take long before he heard the noise in the room.

Guo Zhaoan stayed outside the door, the sun was too high, and the branches hanging on the wall were drooping.He squinted his eyes and took a look. After standing there for five or six minutes, he went to the yard to get a kettle and filled it with some water. He walked around the low wall and walked out of the yard.Guo Zhaoan went under the peach tree to avoid the sun, and watered the tree by the way.

Ten minutes later, Lu Chunyan came out of the room, Guo Zhaoan heard the sound, immediately straightened his back, and walked in.

Lu Chunyan stood under the corridor, with one hand in his trouser pocket, a puddle of water on his light-colored clothes, he lowered his head, looking at the halo at his feet.

"Boss, why are your clothes wet?"

"I was splashed with a glass of water."

Guo Zhaoan was taken aback, Lu Chunyan pursed his lips, and said to Guo Zhaoan, "Cancel the ticket to Switzerland for me, Wei Han doesn't want to go."

"But didn't the doctor say that if he went there for treatment, it would be possible for his leg to fully recover?"

Lu Chunyan remained silent, but shook his head, "Forget it."

It was with great difficulty that he consulted a doctor who was capable of treating Xu Weihan, he found a lot of connections before he got connected, and came in a hurry, but was scolded and poured a glass of water.Lu Chunyan didn't know what he was doing, he just seemed to be happy for nothing, and it seemed that he had found a small window by accident and blocked it.

He caught a glimpse of the water bottle in Guo Zhaoan's hand, was stunned, and asked softly, "What are you doing with this?"

Guo Zhaoan turned his head and pointed to the peach branches protruding from the wall, "It's for watering the peach tree."

Lu Chunyan looked in the direction he was pointing, and could see a cluster of green leaves clustered on the top of the wall, some of which were falling down.He only glanced at it, then looked away.

After that, Lu Chunyan didn't come for a long time, he and Xu Weihan had clearly expressed their feelings to each other, but for some reason, their relationship became more and more distant.

After autumn, the peach trees begin to shed their leaves.Xu Weihan walked to the yard with a cane, and he had someone set up a wicker chair in the yard, and he sat down slowly, with his cane standing on one side.

The wind blows very slowly, as is always the case in autumn, the sky looks very low, the clouds become more, the wind blows slowly and softly on the face, with a coolness that is neither dry nor hot.Xu Weihan leaned against the rattan chair and fell asleep without knowing it.

"Why don't you fix your legs?"

Something sounded in his ears, Xu Weihan slowly opened his eyes, the sun was setting, the clouds were blurred watercolors, a person was wrapped in the light pink halo, like a peach blossom blooming in spring, so beautiful that he would Also feel jealous.

It was Qiuyao... the boy who was kept by Lu Chunyan's side for a whole year.

Xu Weihan grabbed both sides of the rattan chair with his hands, sat up straight, his eyes were facing upwards, and then he heard Qiu Yao ask: "Why aren't you with him?"

"How will you be here?"

Xu Weihan didn't answer, but stared at him.

Qiu Yao got closer, her beautiful face fell into the sunlight, the light almost penetrated him.

Xu Weihan slowly opened his eyes wide, looking at him dully.

Qiu Yao said, "I'm not human."

"Is this a dream?" Xu Weihan's lips parted slightly, his face full of disbelief.

"Just treat it as a dream." Qiu Yao approached step by step, his words seemed to be hypnotizing.Xu Weihan's mood gradually calmed down, returning to the previous question, Qiu Yao asked him: "Lu Chunyan likes you, and you like him too, why aren't you two together?"

Lu Chunyan drove him away to make room, wasn't it just to love Xu Weihan?But... why are they still separated, why is Lu Chunyan still unhappy.

"Because we can't, it's impossible for me and him." Xu Weihan said in a low voice, "Everyone can't help themselves. Living in this circle, we must abide by some rules, because as long as we take a wrong step, all previous efforts will be in vain. In vain."

He paused, a tear pooled in the corner of his eye, he said: "Besides, I'm not sure, he will love me forever, I can't afford to lose."

He looked at Xu Weihan, he might vaguely understand what Xu Weihan meant, but because he understood, he felt even more uncomfortable.The love he dreamed of, but with Xu Weihan he can give it up easily.

The world of these people, Lu Chunyan's world, contains too much power and desire. These things have brought them everything and ruined everything for them.They weave themselves in cocoons with nets, and after a long time, what emerges from the cocoons will not be butterflies, but another kind of moth without wings.

The breathing rhythm changed, and Qiu Yao's throat felt sour. After a few seconds, he asked again, "Why don't you treat your leg?"

There was a long, long silence, so long that Qiuyao thought Xu Weihan had woken up, but heard him say: "I want him to owe me, I want him to never forget me in his life."

Qiu Yao suddenly grabbed Xu Weihan's wrist, he was very strong, Xu Weihan's body trembled, and he instantly woke up.He looked at Qiuyao in front of him, took a breath, and said angrily, "Let go."

Qiuyao didn't care about him, but directly dragged him up.

Then he bent down and lowered his head, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said, "I want him to owe me too."

The backyard door was pushed open, and the nurse who heard the sound saw the spring light suddenly bright, the petals were like a storm, and the two people in the center of the vortex almost overlapped, she opened her mouth and screamed that there was a monster.

Xu Weihan only felt his eyes go dark, and then a piercing pain came from his legs, and he cried out, trying to break free, but his arms were tightly grasped.Qiu Yao's face became paler and paler, he stared at Xu Weihan fiercely, another person's face appeared in his head, he said softly: "I am so envious of you, to be loved by him so much."

Severe pain swept through his body, and Xu Weihan passed out directly.Before more people arrived, Qiuyao let him go and disappeared into the twilight.

The panic in the house turned into a pot of porridge, and the news of seeing the demon was widely circulated. Some people didn't believe it, but some believed it very much. Among them was Xu Weihan's mother.

She had said long ago that this house was not clean, but Xu Weihan wanted to live here even if he broke his head.She went to the master before, and let people look at it inside and out, and moved the evil peach tree outside the wall, but she didn't expect that this monster turned out to be the person who followed Lu Chunyan before.

Thinking about it now, she felt chills all over, so she called Lu Chunyan and told him to come back soon.

After being passed out from the pain that day, Xu Weihan woke up the next day.After waking up, there is no abnormality in the body, and I even feel more energetic than before.But because of Qiuyao's matter, people in the house were panicked, Xu's mother told Xu Weihan to leave here quickly.

Xu Weihan was silent for a moment, but said that he didn't want to leave.

He was not afraid of Qiuyao, but thinking about it now, Qiuyao's words seemed to have another meaning.He knew that Qiuyao would not harm him, but he still didn't know what Qiuyao wanted to do.

A few days later, Xu Weihan realized that he could walk without a cane. Although he was still unsteady when he walked, it was much better than before.

It was still almost evening, and he asked everyone in the yard to go out. The sunset glow was very beautiful. He sat on the wicker chair, closed his eyes and waited for a long time.The wind seemed to be getting stronger, and the surrounding air was moving quickly. He opened his eyes and looked at Qiuyao standing in front of him.

Qiu Yao looked down at him and said softly, "You're going to be fine soon."

Xu Weihan raised his head and asked, "Why did you do this?"

"I don't want him to owe you." Qiu Yao said and stretched out her hand, "Give me your hand."

Xu Weihan didn't move, Qiu Yao directly pulled Xu Weihan's wrist.

Xu Weihan took a big breath, and his body immediately softened, the pain came again, spreading from the soles of his feet, making him almost cry out in pain.He sank into the rattan chair, Qiu Yao put on a pale face, slowly let go of her hand, took a last look at him, and was about to leave when she heard a familiar voice.

Qiu Yao was startled, then turned her head, the bright light faded, in the deep twilight, Lu Chunyan stood outside the courtyard, he stepped forward a few steps, brushed Qiu Yao away with his hand, and stood in front of Xu Weihan.

Confronting each other, the line of sight became a weapon on the battlefield, and the unarmed demon was stabbed in the heart with a sword.

Lu Chunyan looked at Qiuyao vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "What did you do to Weihan?"

Qiu Yao shook her head and smiled wryly, "What can I do?"

Lu Chunyan said, "Are you a demon?"

Qiu Yao pursed her lips, her cheeks were tense, and he asked, "Is that what you all call me?"

Lu Chunyan asked again, "Are you a demon? Are you going to harm Xu Weihan?"

Qiu Yao opened her mouth, just about to speak, when she was shocked suddenly.

Lu Chunyan's pupils trembled, and he stared blankly at Qiuyao falling down in front of him.

Behind Qiuyao, someone took back the mahogany sword.

Not a single drop of blood was left, only his gradually transparent body, he was indeed a demon.

Lu Chunyan didn't do anything, or he was also stunned.

Qiuyao looked up at him, the obsession and entanglement in her eyes were completely silent, he said: "I am indeed a demon, but I have never harmed anyone, I just like you... just like you, but you want mine Fate, do you just...hate me so much?"

Lu Chunyan reacted, took a breath, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to hug him, his fingers groped in the air, but found nothing.

"It's a flower demon, look at the tree outside the wall."

Looking up, the withered and yellow leaves were blown up by the wind, and the peach tree next to the wall would no longer produce new leaves.
