Chapter 356: 2 Lands of Longing 2
After being stunned for a long time, Chen Sanlang slowly turned around and walked away with heavy steps. At this time, the sunlight was shining, stretching his figure long and with a bit of loneliness.
The only things that supported him were the beautiful memories of his past life.
In their previous life, Chen Zhiyuan and Wang Jinyi became frequent visitors to the high-speed rail station. They donated all the money they saved to the Ministry of Railways. They took all kinds of trains, long-distance trains, and planes.
I still remember that it was a vacation during the junior year. Wang Jinyi didn’t want to leave school and go home. She wanted to use the vacation to review and finish two credit courses early.
I bought a plane ticket to see her, but the plane was delayed due to heavy rain. I waited in the waiting hall for 2 hours to 4 hours. After repeated confirmation, the plane still could not take off. Some people asked for refunds and some people negotiated.
I was the only one praying silently, because Wang Jinyi had taken a taxi to Beijing Airport to pick me up and had been waiting for the same amount of time.
That time the flight was delayed and the two of them were waiting in vain in different cities.
Finally, the two of them met hurriedly at the train station. The return train departed three hours later. They hugged each other, chatted, and ate in the waiting hall. Then Wang Jinyi reluctantly sent herself to the train heading south.
Chen Sanlang stopped, leaned against the wall of Wang’s courtyard, and looked back.
Today is the engagement day. The six gifts carried by two people in front of the Wang family’s door, against the backdrop of the bright red boxes and red silk, pierced Chen Sanlang’s eyes deeply and hurt his heart.
He stood silently by the roadside, watching the three matchmakers come to the door together, the gift-bearing carriage and the marriage-proposing team from the man's family, all entering the Wang family's gate in great joy, and his heart sank into an icy hole.
This noisy and bustling scene is the respect that the man’s family gives to the woman’s family. The formulaic ceremony reflects the importance attached to marriage in ancient times, but it is so annoying to Chen Sanlang!
He ran away as if escaping, but the annoying sound of music and beating in his ears could not be shaken off. He ran towards the government school as usual, but after being startled, he stopped helplessly and tried to find a quiet place.
In the distance, the words "Jishidang" were quietly calling him. Chen Sanlang slowly walked forward as if someone was calling him. No matter how the pedestrians passed by, they had nothing to do with Chen Sanlang at the moment. The things in his eyes gradually became vain and farther and farther away.
Passersby kindly helped the fainted Chen Sanlang into Jishidiang. The soothing smell of herbs came from the place and Chen Sanlang completely fainted.
The aroma of Jishidiang's herbs lingered in Chen Sanlang's nose, and he slowly woke up.
"you're awake?"
As soon as Doctor Zheng finished giving the fainted young man an injection, he woke up and reminded him with a smile:
"Excessive emotional fluctuations will lead to poor blood circulation. Young people should have a mature mentality! You can recover after a rest."
Chen Sanlang stood up and thanked the old doctor: "Thank you for saving me. I am very grateful to you."
Old Doctor Zheng waved his hand and turned to go into the inner hall. A young boy dressed as a medicine boy came out from the back hall holding a book.
Chen Sanlang was in a low mood. After seeing the "Red Star Over China" in front of him, he unconsciously turned the title page. The author's name was written in regular script horizontally, and from left to right, there were stars in the night sky.
He stretched out his hand to search for the name, and his heart felt like there was a big hole in it. The wind was blowing so hard that his body couldn't help but tremble.
Zheng Yan shouted at him, "How dare you touch other people's things! This book is very precious."
As he spoke, he walked over to the medicine cabinet, closed the book, glared at Chen Sanlang, and turned away. "You're not leaving now that you've cured the disease?"
Before Chen Sanlang could apologize, Zheng Yan returned to the back hall.
Chen Sanlang stammered with pale lips: "I'm sorry, I... I was just distracted for a moment."
Doctor Zheng of the Queen Mother tried to smooth things over, "I'm sorry, please don't mind it. The book was written by the child's idol, and he treasures it very much. Don't take it personally..."
Chen Sanlang smiled, thanked Jishidiang politely for his help, stood up to pay, and Zheng Yan returned to the lobby, "Yan'er, apologize to this scholar."
Zheng Yan was extremely reluctant, but still said:
"I'm sorry I said something that didn't sound right, please forgive me!"
“Do you like her books very much?”
Chen Sanlang asked proudly, but he got an unexpected answer.
"Of course, that's the book she signed for me, so I won't let anyone touch it!..."
Sanlang Chen quickly grasped the key words, and the author signed his name personally!
"I'm also a fan of her books. Can I take a look at her autograph?!"
Zheng Yan left reluctantly, and Chen Sanlang continued to plead, "Please, I have been chasing her for many years, please let me take a look!"
This is what Chen Sanlang really thinks.
When Doctor Zheng saw that the patient turned out to be a book friend, he advised him, "He was just taking a look."
Zheng Yan was reluctant at first, but Chen Sanlang kept asking him to do so, and he reluctantly said:
"Just take a look, don't touch my book!"
"Okay, keep your word!"
Zheng Yan held the book and presented it to Chen Sanlang, one step away. Chen Sanlang could only look at it but could not touch it. He opened the title page and pointed to a mark that was printed with ink and cinnabar.
Bitterness surged like a tide, and Chen Sanlang determined that the star in the night sky was Wang Jinyi.
This seal has a few red stars on the top, and the words "stars in the night sky" engraved in small seal script below, huh?
"Have you read it? This is what she signed for me."
As he was about to close the book, Chen Sanlang asked:
"There's a typo in her signature, look!"
Zheng Yan retorted and opened the book, "That, that! You are talking nonsense! How could she make a typo!"
Chen Sanlang put his hands behind his back and took a closer look. On the left side of the seal was the word "Wang" engraved in cinnabar, and on the right side was also engraved simplified Chinese characters.
He straightened up and quickly restored the word "Jin" in the palm of his hand along the lines. It turned out that she had hidden her name in the seal!
It's really her! It's really her!
But she's engaged! What should I do? ! What should I do!
Chen Sanlang felt dizzy. He held his forehead, slowly stood up and walked out the door.
Zheng Yan shouted indignantly: "Bah, liar!"
The person who walked away didn't care at all, but at this moment his heart was bleeding.
He covered his chest and walked forward slowly, without choosing a direction, just walking out of instinct, he kept walking, he was so distressed that he could hardly breathe...
Strangers and strange streets, Chen Sanlang walked staggeringly on the street with his hands covering his chest.
From a distance, Huo Ying saw a scholar surrounded by the crowd, walking back and forth on the street. The scholar was wearing a blue shirt and had a square scarf on his head, and looked so familiar.
Huo Ying shouted from outside the crowd: "Chen Sanlang."
No one answered. It wasn't that Chen Sanlang didn't hear it, but he always thought in his heart that he should be called Chen Zhiyuan! The name Chen Sanlang was too unfamiliar to him.
The more Huo Ying looked, the more he felt that the scholar in the green shirt was Chen Sanlang.
So he squeezed into the crowd and patted him on the shoulder. Chen Sanlang turned around and saw a familiar face.
Huo Ying was even more surprised. Chen Sanlang's face was pale and he covered his chest. It seemed as if his soul had been sucked out of his body.
He stepped forward, held his arm and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Sanlang seemed to wake up from a dream and shouted:
"Big brother."
He fell headfirst onto Huo Ying and slid down along Huo Ying's body.
Huo Ying carried the man on his back and went straight to find a doctor.
