第1章 流年岁月,与你共赴夕阳(1)

“蓝”的生死恋

我与蓝分手了。蓝是一个好女孩,又漂亮又温柔。很多朋友都说我离开她很傻,可是我还是离开她了,虽然我也很舍不得。

第一天

她拿毯子把自己捂得紧紧的,没有起床,同寝室的人都不敢进去安慰她。整整一天,她没有吃东西,也没有刷牙洗漱,晚上的时候,我都能听到她在毯子里哭泣。

第二天

在室友的强迫下,今天她吃饭了。她双眼通红,以前我总说她是个爱哭鬼,她总是噘着小嘴说她不是。

第三天

今天,她穿着性感的衣服进了一家酒吧,还喝了很多酒,她眼波流转,环视整个房间。

许多人走上前,跟她打情骂俏说她妩媚多姿。

她又喝了很多的酒。当一个看年纪可以当她父亲的老男人上前跟她说“小姐,我带你回家吧”的时候,她把手中的酒全泼在那个老男人的脸上。正当这个老男人举手要打她的时候,小睦过来救走了蓝。我知道这一切,是因为我当时在酒吧的一个角落里看着。

第四天

今天她起床很早,并且整个上午都忙忙碌碌的。她把自己关在浴室里。当室友们推门进来的时候都惊呼道:“真干净啊!”

第五天

她开始学习了。其实之前她学习很好,而我们在一起后她的成绩就不如从前了。这也好,转移一下注意力,也有助于痊愈。

三个月后

她成了学生会主席,越来越能干,也越来越开朗。没多久她就要为考研准备了。

一年后

她身边有很多男生,好些男生比我还优秀,但她根本没注意过他们,不过她跟凌的关系非常好,学校里有很多关于他们的谣言。她只是把他当哥哥看,可是流言是挡不住的。

三年后

她要结婚了,新郎是凌。她一张、两张、三张……地写结婚请帖,写到第十二张的时候,她趴在桌子上开始哭。我走上前,看到所有的喜帖上,新郎的名字写的都是我。

我也很想哭,但鬼魂是无法哭的,我没有眼泪。

三年前,我拿着给她庆生的生日蛋糕,横穿马路时,遇上了车祸。

The “Blue” Eternal Love

Just separated withBlue, Blue is a very nice girl,beautiful and gentle. Manyfriends said that I was a foolto let her go. Even thoughit was hard, I still had to lether go.

The 1st day

Using her blanket andcovering herself tightly, shedidnt get up. Her dormmates were afraid to go inand comfort her. She didnteat anything the whole day,didnt wash her face or brushher teeth. At night, I couldhear her crying beneath theblanket.

The 2nd day

She ate today, forceddown by her roommates.

Her eyes were red. I alwayscalled her “Cry baby”. Shealways squirmed her mouthand retorted: “No, Im not.”

The 3rd day

Today, she dressedvery sexy, walked into a barand drank a lot of alcohol.

Using tempting moves, shesurveyed the room. Manymen came up to her andflirted with her telling herhow beautiful she was. Shedrank a lot more. When amuch older man, old enoughto be her father, walked upand said: “Miss, let me takeyou home,” she splashedher drink onto his face. Asthe older man got ready toslap her, Mu showed upand saved Blue. I knew allthis because I was watchingfrom a corner in the bar.

The 4th day

Today, she got up reallyearly. After busying aroundall morning, she lockedherself inside the bathroom.

When her roommatesopened the door, they wereamazed: “So clean.”

The 5th day

She began studying. Shehad done very well in schoolbefore. However, when wegot together, her gradesdeteriorated. It is good tofocus on something else as itwill improve recovery.

Three months later

She became presidentof the Student Union. Sheis becoming more and moreable. She also becomes moreopen. Soon, she will need toprepare for graduate school.

One year later

There are many menbeside her, many who arebetter than me. She nevertakes notice of them, butshe gets along with Lingvery well. There are rumorsabout them in school. Shetreats him like an elderbrother, but rumor cannotbe blocked.

Three years later

She is getting married.

The groom is Ling. She iswriting wedding invitations.

After she wrote one, two,and three...the 12th card, shebent over the desk and tearsfell down uncontrollably. Istepped forward and sawthat on all the invitations,the grooms name was mine.

I want to cry too, butghost cannot cry. I do nothave any tears.

Three years ago, whenI was carrying her birthdaycake crossing a street, a carcrashed into me.

盐咖啡

在一个舞会上他遇见她,她那么出众,许多男孩追求她。而他却那么普通,没人注意他。

舞会结束后,他邀请她去喝咖啡,她很惊奇,但出于礼貌,还是答应了他。他们坐在一家典雅的咖啡厅里,他非常紧张不知道说什么好,她却并不觉得浪漫,一心在想,“拜托,让我回家吧……”

突然他对服务员说,“请给我一点盐好吗? 我要把它加在我的咖啡里。”咖啡厅里每个人都惊奇地看着他。他的脸红了,却很镇静。他把盐放入咖啡中,并喝了它。她好奇地问他,“你怎么有这样的嗜好?”他回答,“小时候我住在海边,我喜欢在海里玩,感觉大海的滋味,就像这盐咖啡的味道。现在,每当我喝盐咖啡,我总是想起我的童年,我的故乡,思念我依然生活在那里的父母。”他说到这些,眼泪涌了出来。她深深地被感动了。

那是他的真实感受,发自内心的。一个男人能说出他的乡愁,一定是一个爱家、对家有责任感的人……随后,她也开始说起自己遥远的家乡,她的童年,她的家庭。

那真是一次美好的约会,也是他们故事的一个美丽开端。从那以后,他们继续约会。她发现事实上他是一个能满足她所有要求的男人:他宽容、善良、热情、细心。他真是一个好人,但她几乎错过了他!真要谢谢他的盐咖啡!

后来,正像每一个美丽的爱情故事,这个公主嫁给了这个王子。他们过着幸福的生活……并且,每次为他煮咖啡,她都加上盐,因为她知道这是他喜欢的味道。

四十年后他去世了,留给她一封信,信中写道,“亲爱的,请原谅我。原谅我一生的谎言。这是我对你唯一撒谎的一次——就是盐咖啡。记得第一次约会吗,那时我太紧张了,其实我想要一些糖,但却说成了盐。当时我觉得不好改口,只好顺其自然,却怎么也没想到那会是我们交往的开始!在后来有许多次,我都想告诉你事实真相,但是我有点害怕,因为我答应过你要对你说真话。现在我快要去了,我不怕了。所以告诉你,我不喜欢盐咖啡,那味道真是差极了……但是我却喝了一生。自从我认识你,为你做的事,我从不后悔。在我一生中,拥有你是我最大的幸福。如果我能活第二回,我仍愿与你结识,和你共度一生,即使再让我喝盐咖啡。”

她的泪水把信纸全弄湿了。后来一天,有人问起她,“盐咖啡味道怎样?”“味道好极了!”她回答。

The Salty Coffee

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasingafter her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him. Shewas surprised but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nicecoffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything. She felt uncomfortable,and she thought to herself, “Please, let me go home…”

Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me somesalt? Id like to put it in my coffee.” Everybody stared at him, so strange!

His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?” He replied,“When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing in the sea,so I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee.

Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood,think of my hometown. I miss my hometown so much, and I miss myparents who are still living there.” While saying that tears filled his eyes.

She was deeply touched.

Thats his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man whocan tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, caresabout home, has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak,spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, and her family.

That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. Theycontinued to date. She found that actually he was a man who met all her demands;he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person butshe almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story-the princess married tothe prince, and then they lived the happy life. And every time she made coffee forhim, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew thats the way he liked it.
