The empty screening room was very quiet, with only the sound of the movie.
On the big screen, Rex Williamson is a middle-aged man who dreams of getting rich by mining opals. For this reason, he and his wife Anne, 11-year-old son Ashmore and 9-year-old daughter Kellyanne move to a remote village. In a mining town, most residents of the town are engaged in this business and related peripheral jobs.
It¡¯s been almost a year since Rex came to mine, but he still hasn¡¯t gained anything. The family of four lived in poverty, but fortunately the family was harmonious and quite happy. However, Kellyanne is withdrawn and seems to be a little mentally abnormal. She has no friends, except for the two imaginary ones: Bobby and Dingen.
Kellyanne is convinced of the existence of Poppy and Ding Gen. They chat, play, and go out together. She also has two extra places on the dining table and two plates when eating. The two friends follow her all the time.
Although the family thinks this is abnormal, in order to make the lonely Kelly Ann happy, they will cooperate with her to pretend that Bobby and Ding Gen exist. One day, Rex wanted his daughter to make some real friends. At his suggestion, he and Ashmer took Bobby and Dingen to go mining together, while Annie took Kellyanne to participate in community activities.
Rex¡¯s mine collapsed, but fortunately no one was safe. Rex crawled to the ground in embarrassment, and left with Ashmo upset, went to the bar, and then went home at night. Both of them had completely forgotten about Bobby and Dingan.
Kelly Ann, who was about to pick up her friend, found that the seat belt of the back seat of the car was unfastened. Bobby and Ding Gen did not come back, they were missing. They might still be there in the mining area. Due to her tantrum, Rex and his son took her to the mining area to look for Poppy and Dingen together.
"Look there! I saw them running behind the winch, did you see that, little princess?"
"No, Bobby can't run because his legs are made of wood and he has to walk slowly. Remember?"
"¡¡you're right."
"That's great, Dad."
"Can you please stop making sarcastic remarks? Ashmo."
"Aha."
"Look for it quickly, Dad. Poppy! Dingen! Look for it quickly, Dad, you shout too."
"BobbyDingan"
"No, it has to be like this, Poppy! Dingen!"
"Oh, okay, okay, Poppy! Dingan!"
The movie has been playing for 20 minutes, and the theater in front of the big screen has become even more lonely. One audience has left the theater early. Except for the initial greeting, Ye Wei and Lily didn't speak again. They just watched the movie silently, feeling the quiet flow of emotions.
"Bobby, Ding Gen." Ye Wei suddenly called softly.
Lily also had the thought of calling in her heart, she opened her mouth slightly but made no sound, Bobby, Ding Gen.
Her messy mood disrupted everything, and she really found him. This was not a chance encounter. From Friday night to now, she has watched every show of "Opal Dream" at Landmark Cinemas in the past three days maybe she can still Counting it as a chance encounter, if he doesn't look at anything else, maybe he and he still have a little bit of tacit understanding and destiny Does this make any sense
In the big screen, because Kelly Ann was having trouble, the three Rexes walked into the nearby mining area and continued to search. They were caught by the mine owner Sid and insisted that they were here to steal the mine. This matter violated the laws and morals of the town. Under Sid's riot, the police could not listen to Rex's statement that they were "just looking for Bobby and Dingen." The case had to be tried in court.
Because of this, the Williamson family was despised and rejected by the entire town. Rex was forced by Sid and other gangsters to stop mining in the mine, and the utility room in the front yard was also blown up. Rex went to find Sid and others to settle the score, only to be severely beaten. The weak local police could not control it, so he had to go to another suburb where opal had never been found to mine.
Under pressure from the town, Annie, who worked in a convenience store, was fired; Ashmo was teased and bullied by teenagers at school; and the worst part was that Kellyanne, who had lost two friends, fell ill, suffering from vomiting, fever, and lack of energy. The doctors in the small town were helpless and her condition became worse day by day.
Seeing his sister like this, Ashmo was determined to help her find Bobby and Dingen. He asked her to draw their portraits. With the kind help of the convenience store proprietress, he copied and pasted the portraits all over the town. But this only made the Williamson family a complete laughingstock. Rex and Annie had a big fight, and the family seemed to be breaking up.
Kellyanne thought that Bobby and Dingan might have died in the mine collapse, and she asked Ashmo to go and take a look under the mine.
?????? Ashmo mustered up the courage to quietly go to the mining area that his family was no longer allowed to set foot in, and ventured down his own mine. He is collapsingAn opal was found in the ore pile. It was an opal set in the navel! He went home and told Kellyanne and showed her the opals and they were really dead. (The image represents imagination, not fact: the opal was given to him by another well-wisher, a gem cutter.)
Seeing Ding Gen¡¯s opal, Kellyanne cried sadly. She asked Ashmo to hold a funeral for Bobby and Ding Gen and bury them properly. Ashmo made a deal with the fat uncle in the town who specialized in burial business, exchanging the opal for a complete funeral.
On this day, Annie had to take Kellyanne, who was seriously ill, to the city hospital for treatment, while Rex and Ashmore went to the small town court to attend the trial of the case. Under the auspices of the gem cutter who acted as a lawyer, and with the generous help of the convenience store proprietress, doctors and other witnesses, Rex told the judge and everyone the truth about "Bobby and Dingen" in court, and also imitated how to find them.
Despite the laughter, the judge from the city believed Rex¡¯s side of the story, ruled Rex not guilty, and regained the mining rights. The judge advised residents to be kind to each other, especially Kellyanne, and not to hurt an innocent little girl.
The court fell into silence, and Ashmore stood up. He told everyone about the funeral and invited everyone to attend, because the more people believed in the existence of Bobby and Dingan, the happier Kellyanne would be. The disease will be cured quickly. The case ended with mixed reactions from residents.
On Saturday, Bobby and Dingen¡¯s funeral was held at the town cemetery. Almost all the residents of the town came, and Rex also brought the emaciated Kellyanne from the hospital. Under the witness and prayers of everyone, Bobby and Ding Gen were buried.
"Bye, Bobby. Bye, Dinggen." Kellyanne personally dropped lollipops on the two coffins in the tomb, and people dropped flowers one after another.
After the funeral, everyone dispersed happily. The fat uncle returned the opal to Ashmo and waived all expenses for the funeral.
¡°And obviously Kellyanne will get better and Annie will get her job back.
"When you believe something, it becomes true. The same goes for imaginary friends, how they dream and how they share their dreams, whether they are with you or when they are gone. Because dreams are always there, just like My mom, my dad and my sister, we dreamed together that this is real and will always be real.¡±
In Ashmore¡¯s narration, he and his father Rex climbed down the mine again on the big screen and continued to pursue their opal dream.
With soft music, the film ended, the credits rolled on the screen, and there was very sporadic applause in the screening hall, just for the two people in the middle row.
"What a good movie." Ye Wei exclaimed while applauding vigorously.
The rudimentary technology did not make this film lose its luster. On the contrary, it had the essence of a deserted town. Touching emotions overflowed in the ordinary. The scene when Ashmo saw his father being beaten by a group of bullies made him almost cry. The tender ending at the end also brings the story to a successful conclusion.
"Yes." Lily clapped her hands and said, just like his tone when he started, "Yes."
"I think Bobby and Ding Gen are children's innocence and fun." Ye Wei looked at the big screen and talked about his movie-watching experience: "When we were young in life, each of us had them, but I don't know when. They died unconsciously, even you can't detect and find them, as if they never existed, as if they were always fake."
"They are real, they were once" Lily said softly.
Ye Wei continued: "Kelly Ann is very willful and even annoying. In fact, she is the cutest. She is the only one in the whole town who still has innocence and childishness. Others don't understand her and laugh at her. Not because she was wrong, but because her childhood dreams conflicted with the cold, boring reality.
Kellyanne is not willful or neurotic at all, she is just obsessed with her dreams, and reality makes her sick. Her light allowed Ashmore, Rex, everyone to see innocence and childishness again, even if it was just a mutilated corpse. They all buried them with their own hands, and Kellyanne finally buried them. "
"It's just" he paused as he spoke. As the credits ended, the applause gradually stopped, and he was about to finish his words: "The passing of innocence and childishness is unstoppable. There are some beautiful things. It will always be the past. But we have two new friends, love and dreams! If you believe it, they exist; if you don¡¯t believe it, they don¡¯t exist.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not easy to believe, no matter what you believe.¡± Lily also gradually stopped applauding.
"Yes, some things are hard to believe, but if you want it to exist and come true, you must first believe it." Ye Wei suddenly laughed, "I think this is "Eggs""Stone Dreams" is basically a good movie, very cool, and worth the price of admission. "
"Absolutely." Lily whispered. The movie was about to end. Her heart began to tighten uncomfortably, as if there was a rope tied and pulled to both sides. What will happen next?
In the past three days, she had felt his same feelings again and again, but he could not give her any answer. This is not a problem that can be solved by watching a movie. I don¡¯t know how to solve it before it is solved.
Ye Wei suddenly felt that when she turned her head, she was looking at him sizing him up
He slowly turned his head and looked at her, that beautiful face that always appeared in his heart, Lily.
After being quiet for a while, she slightly frowned her heroic eyebrows and said, "hello?"
Time seems to have gone back to that Operation Cuttlefish operation in late autumn, when he and she first met. At that time, he looked at her for too long, and she asked "hello?" like she does now. He suddenly thought that if he and her had just met today, without those regrets and mistakes, maybe it would be the beginning of a love story.
With his mind in turmoil, Ye Wei said: "Hello, my name is Angus Leaf, nice to meet you."
I don¡¯t know what he was thinking, he just said this, he is not Ye Wei, he is ang-leaf. Ang is the god of love in Celtic mythology. He was very bad when he was young and everyone was afraid of him. Later he became good when he fell in love with the beautiful fairy Caer and married her. Ang has the meaning of "only", and leaf means leaf.
"Oh" Lily was startled when she heard the words and blinked her eyes. She thought for a while before responding: "My name is Ishtar Vitage. Nice to meet you."
Ye Wei couldn¡¯t help but smile after hearing this. She is not Lily Collins, she is ishtar-vintage. Ishtar is the God of Love in Sumerian mythology, and there are many versions of the legend. In the Babylonian epic, Ishtar was saved by the hero Gilgamesh. She wooed him out of love and gratitude, but was severely punished by the latter. The reason for rejection is that Ishtar is too carefree and doesn't treat her ex-boyfriend well. Ishtar, who held a grudge, asked her father for a sacred cow that could bring drought, and descended to the kingdom of Gilgamesh to carry out crazy revenge. Later, she was defeated by Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Vintage means fine wine, antique, old, outdated, and the best; collins means iced fruit wine.
He used to read the myths of the world with her. She said that Ishtar was the female version of Heathcliff. He said that all human stories originated from myths because they all happened in some way. She wasn't Ishtar, she was just sarcastic, maybe joking?
?Al and iv, ia and vl are actually still them.
"Your name is very interesting." Ye Wei said with a smile.
"So is yours." Lily also smiled. It was hard to understand why. Now looking at him and facing him, she felt much more relaxed and at ease, as if she was really a new friend she had just met She said: "You He looks a lot like an ex-boyfriend of mine, his name is Wei.¡±
Ye Wei didn¡¯t expect her to say that. In fact, he didn¡¯t know why she was here. Is it a coincidence? Compared to when I talked about that phone call last Sunday night, my mood was much calmer, but at the same time, the unspeakable loss was even heavier. He said: "What a coincidence, you look a lot like one of my ex-girlfriends, her name is Lily."
¡°That¡¯s a coincidence,¡± she said.
The movie always ended when it was about to end. Ye Wei took the initiative and said, "Do you have time to hang out for a while? You and I are quite compatible."
"Okay, let's hang out for a while." Lily nodded.
Both of them got up and left their seats with mixed feelings, and walked out of the cinema.
¡¡
"I'm from Los Angeles. I was born here and grew up here. I think I have picked up a lot of bad habits in Los Angeles. In short, I have a lot of idiotic aspects."
"I am mostly from Los Angeles. I came from London, England when I was 5 years old. Most of my memories of England are blurred, only some unpleasant ones remain. It's really strange"
"It's no wonder that human beings always remember their fears deeply, but forget their happiness very quickly, and then spend their whole life asking for it unsatisfactorily. And those fears will accompany them throughout their lives, some of them have become the past, and some of them are still there. ¡±
"Really, that's sad."
"It's much better than animals. All life remembers fear. This is the law of survival, but humans have the ability to defeat fear. So you can speak English?"
"I know it, that's my childish voice. I go back to England every summer, usually for a month, and I have tried living there for the whole summer, and it's okay. In the United States, people laugh at me for speaking with a British accent, but in the UK, I say Meiyin was teased and rude, which bothered me a lot when I was a kid, but now I don¡¯t care.¡±
"I think it's cool. At least Bobby can speak English and Dingen can speak American. I have traveled to many places, but very few in the UK, but I am a football fan. I love football and I like to watch it."?Super. "
"Which team are you a fan of?"
"Manchester United, it's a bit vulgar to like this kind of giant, but who lets them wear red jerseys? I like red."
"My ex-boyfriend is like this too. He likes Manchester United the most. He also dreams of wearing the Manchester United jersey. He wears No. 6."
Under the starry sky at night, the landmark cinema is brightly lit, and tourists and audiences are constantly coming and going. Ye Wei and Lily were walking and chatting. They had just walked out of the movie theater and wanted to go to a cafe on the street, or just walk like this. The pace of both of them was very slow, starting from being reserved and gradually becoming more generous. She called him Gus, and he called her Yi Shi, a pair of new friends.
Lily looked at the starry sky and said while waving her hands a few times to make herself more natural, "I don't understand him. I once thought I understood him best, but no."
Ye Wei looked at her. She was wearing a white long-sleeved jacket, dark red casual trousers and white sneakers. She was carrying a small beige cross-body bag. She rolled up one of her sleeves with both hands and wore a fashionable silver bracelet on her left wrist. , fresh and youthful, with medium-long light brown hair shawl down her shoulders, elegant eyebrows, bright eyes, and delicate red lips, all glowing with fairy-like beauty.
He tried his best to control himself not to hold her hand or hug her, and asked in a curious tone: "What's wrong with you?"
"What about you?" Lily looked at him. The 22cm height difference required her to raise her head slightly. His tall body was wearing a thin black leather jacket, faded blue jeans and black sneakers. He seemed to be evilly handsome, and his eyes were hard to see. Very clever.
Seeing her looking at him, he wrinkled his beautiful eyebrows and said slowly: "II don't understand her either. I used to think that I had a spiritual connection with her, but thennow, I think she is very mysterious, erratic, and incomprehensible. I can't guessI don't understand what she's thinking."
Lily turned to look at the cars passing by on the avenue, and after passing a fairly busy restaurant, she spoke: "Gus, how did you break up?"
"Me and her." Ye Wei shrugged and said as he walked: "We were like a match made in heaven. We were really happy when we were together. It's not that there were unhappy things, but we could also taste the sweetness from it. Once really Very good. When we broke up, we were younger than we are now There was a misunderstanding. The old misunderstanding was not resolved and a new misunderstanding emerged. We didn't deal with it well at that time."
He looked at the hazy night scene in the distance of the street, "At that time we loved too deeply and our demands were too high. We were both perfectionistic about that love. Even if it was a small mistake, we probably couldn't tolerate it. It was still very special." Serious misunderstanding, it¡¯s my fault.¡±
"What's going on?" Lily's eyes were a little misty.
"I didn't consider her feelings. I took it for granted that she should trust me. It's not that she didn't believe me or love me. Any girl would explode at that time, and some would be more violent. I just think she is different and our love is different. But I forgot she was a girl too, and she had deep fears that I didn¡¯t understand at the time.¡±
Ye Wei did not look at Lily and continued to talk: "Then the second misunderstanding, she didn't know it, and I, a fool, misunderstood her. The reason why we broke up, she thought it was because she didn't believe me, but it was actually because I don¡¯t believe her. I said it nicely, but actuallyactually"
Lily didn¡¯t urge him to continue. The past memories surged up from the bottom of her heart like smoke, making her whole body numb.
"I never told her." Ye Wei looked at Lily. Perhaps it was the emotional journey that gave him the strength. He could say calmly and honestly: "Yi Shi, when I was dating her, I actually had a lot of feelings. Lack of self-confidence, sometimes even inferiority complex, she is a princess, I am a rogue.¡±
She seemed to be a little surprised. He shook his head and smiled: "That was the reason why I misunderstood her. Before that, my inferiority complex was only very slight, and it would turn into a sense of luck and happiness. When we broke up, she ignored my explanation and pursuit. After falling in love with her, for the first time, I felt that she was a superior young lady. She and I were not the same kind of people. She could just say she didn¡¯t care and then she didn¡¯t carelike I was just a pretty boy
I am so angry! But not only was I angry, I felt like I had become an enemy with her, so I didn¡¯t ask her or pay attention to her, but I loved her again. Yes, it's a bit like Heathcliff, she got it right, he's a mess. If perfect romanticism is the reason for the light side, this one belongs to the dark side. I didn't tell her because I didn't want her to know. "
"I don't understandyou have low self-esteem?" The more Lily thought about it, the more she frowned, "You? I mean, I don't think you look like it, you look very good"
He is always sunny and humorous, or bad. She has seen him depressed or even collapsed. The time he was betrayed by the Willis team was the weakest Ye Wei she had ever seen, but he got better immediately. self-abasement? I have never felt that he still has this kind of mentality.
"Haha!" Ye Wei laughed easily, "Now I can face this more maturely. I couldn't do it at the time, not even a few months ago. I don't want to admit and face this emotion, it just exists, other girls They can't make me like this. She is different, and with love, she will be different.
Her family background, her heritage, the fact that she paid for me to travel and buy me clothes there is a little bit of this. You don¡¯t know, but she has been traveling around the world since she was a few years old. She has a lot of knowledge that makes me feel very shallow. The most important thing is"
"What?" Lily asked.
"She has a power that makes me at a loss." Ye Wei looked at her and said, the more he spoke, the more he understood himself: "No other girl has it, only she has it. Even looking at her, I can feel that she is there at any time. You can make me get lost." Lily said softly: "You are very good at talking"
"It's true. Later I realized that it wasn't that I had low self-esteem, but that I suffered from the side effects of love." Ye Wei took a breath and added: "It's easy to feel humbled when you love someone deeply. You go Love and give. If you don't get the response you want, you will be disappointed, frustrated, and annoyed. Is she disappointed? I'm not worthy of her. Damn it, these feelings create a feeling of inferiority. It leads to quarrels and quarrels ruin a relationship. It is too difficult to give without caring about the response.¡±
The two of them did not go into the Starbucks or coffee shop on the street. They just walked along the street, blowing the night breeze and looking at the stars.
"Actually" Lily hesitated to speak. It was harder to speak than she thought. Thinking that he was not Ye Wei, she suddenly got the courage: "Gus, my ex-boyfriendnot now, not before." He makes me feel inferior."
"You?" Ye Wei was surprised. Although she had heard her say that she felt inferior about her thick eyebrows before, it was caused by girls who love beauty and were attacked by the environment. What else could she feel inferior about? The side effects of love should be effective for everyone, but not for her. He asked: "What's going on?"
"When we were dating I was always afraid of losing him. One reason is that he is so good." Lily took a deep breath quietly, not wanting him to notice her uneasiness about revealing her dark side. "The other reason is that I have low self-esteem. I told him that I'm not as strong as he thought, but he just didn't believe me about my thick eyebrows"
"Please, your thick eyebrows are so beautiful!" Ye Wei couldn't help but say.
"Listen to me." Lily glared at him and told him to be quiet, otherwise she might not be able to continue. She looked away and said: "Gus, I don't know how many times I've been called a thick eyebrow since I was a kid. Weird, I tried to trim them very thin before I met him. If my mother hadn¡¯t always encouraged me, I would have kept trimming them. He always said that he liked it, but I didn¡¯t like people saying to him, ¡®Your girlfriend. My eyebrows are so weird. And my figure"
She felt that he was looking at her, and couldn't help but laugh at herself: "I am almost 18 years old, and I still act like a child. My friends tease me, 'Are you still 15?' I exercise, I keep fit, I eat healthily, and I have a regular schedule." ¡I just can¡¯t grow into a woman.¡±
"You will always do it." Ye Weizhen didn't know what to say. He didn't think it was a problem. Some girls were 18 but looked like they were 30.
Lily shook her head slightly: "That guy had many ex-girlfriends after me Gus, he had a Canadian girlfriend. She was so beautiful, with a great figure, tall, hot, sexy and I will always be associated with sexy It has nothing to do with it. Audrey Hepburn is one of my idols. Hepburn has always envied Monroe, because she has nothing to do with sexiness. What you don¡¯t understand is that when I stand with Nina, I am a child and she is a woman. Actually I envy her."
Ye Wei is a bit funny, girls, two girls.
Seeing him smile, Lily smiled as if she was ashamed, "Appearance is not what I care about most. Especially at that time, he and I were more focused on spiritual love. I enjoyed it very much and was very proud of our specialness, but I kept hiding it. He told me a secret, I have ADHD.¡±
She waved her hands unnaturally, looked up, gritted her teeth, and said after a long while: "This is a common disease, many people have it, it doesn't matter, don't mind. I have been taught this way since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to its existence. . But why, how to tell him, I will be like a little monkey if I don¡¯t take medicine, and I can¡¯t tell whether some of my emotional problems are normal or medical. I don¡¯t want him to know, and I¡¯m also afraid that he will know He likes it. He's a normal person. Maybe he doesn't like me anymore when he finds out, and thinks, 'Oh, that makes sense.' She's sick, she's really pretending He came to New York to see me that day, and we were supposed to talk. , but I don¡¯t know how to face him.¡±
Ye Wei felt her heart tightening and relaxing at the same time. She didn't completely resist him that day.
I heard her say again: "I can be proud or weird about my origin. Let's talk about my father. He is proud because of Diana."The concubines are all his fansbut that's him, good or bad. What about me? I am a second-generation freak from a single-parent family. Almost everyone among us second-generation celebrities will start seeing a psychiatrist at a young age. "
Lily sneered and counted them on her fingers: "My parents are divorced, I don't see each other a few times a year, bad things like this happen all around me Psychiatrists can't really solve the problem. Many people abuse drugs, take drugs, and squander money." , Indulgent messy."
"It's okay if you don't." Ye Wei said.
"Thank you to my mother, thank you to my ADHD for setting so many rules for me." Lily looked at him and now added a real reason: "She has always been afraid that I will have some mental illness when I become an adult. I have to develop my career. You have to wait until you are 18 years old." Ye Wei said, "That's what my mother did." She became more relaxed as she said, "When the second generation stars grow up, they will either inherit their parents' careers or leave the entertainment industry completely. Don¡¯t stick.¡±
She made a bunny ear gesture: "I am a piece of cloth with spots when I was made. I want to be clean, but I can't live without it. My birth photo was sold by my parents for charity. I was born when I was 2 years old. Guest-starring in TV series, what do I know?" His blinking eyes flashed with determination, "I only knew that I would enter the entertainment industry when I grew up. I don't hate it. As long as I exist in the way I want, I will go. Hard work. I'm going to prove that I'm not just Philmy daddy's little girl, I'm me and I'm going to prove it."
"That's very cool." Ye Wei nodded. He knew Lily's will and independence when she first wandered around. That was one of the reasons why he was attracted to her.
"He grew up in a normal and happy family." Lily realized that she was talking to Ye Wei, but she was able to muster the courage: "Actually, he has more things that I don't have. Many times, I am not sure whether I am the right person in his eyes. "Normal" is still a spoiled, sick and vulgar "young lady". I'm afraid. I haven't shared all of these dark sides with him, and I don't want him to know."
She took a breath of cold air, and her soft voice gradually became choked: "I pretended to be strong and free-spirited, but when we broke up, I was extremely angry. I wanted to kill him He deceived me and destroyed me. I had confidence but still wanted to pursue everything Later, I believed in him, but I didn't take any action. I felt that he was mine. If he wasn't mine or someone else's, we would get better over time. We had an agreement, but he didn't. I thought he still needed time, and I was still taking care of my image At that time, I didn't understand what it meant, it was loss. "
"I'm sorry" Ye Wei couldn't help but apologize, his eyes turning red. He had messed up everything. He had never felt her pain and vulnerability so deeply.
Both of them understand that they used to be compatible but clumsy with each other, sharing happiness together, supporting each other's pride, and chasing dreams together. But the pain was shared too little, and there was no time for them. They just hid the inferior and ignorant side, so sensitive, so caring
"The other party is my own", "How could the other party be my own", "The other party is not my own", "The other party may be my own, I don't know why, just because of my wish"
These thoughts are mixed together, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, until all wishes are reduced to ashes.
"Gus! Don't feel sorry for me." Lily reminded Ye Wei loudly of the current situation. She could already feel the complicated chaos coming: "That was him before, very good. But this year he He has changed, and now he I don¡¯t know, it¡¯s not now, he has changed again.¡±
"Isn't he a chameleon?" Ye Wei joked happily.
"He is." Lily pursed her lips tightly. When the memory, mood and thoughts were like a train arriving at a new stop, everything was suddenly different. Her face darkened and her words were cold: "He has done many very, very excessive things in his love life"
"He is a fool who was drowned in darkness." Ye Wei's voice also dropped.
Lily stopped and looked at Ye Wei, who had taken a few steps before turning back, and said, "He has become my opposite."
Ye Wei turned around, but one or two steps on the street brought back the sense of distance from the cliff. Her tone was a little unnatural: "Didn't you say that he has changed again? Yi Shi, do you think he has changed for the better? Or is it getting worse?"
The street lights lengthened the silhouettes of the two of them. Lily looked at him with blank eyes. Let¡¯s just say everything today. When a couple passed by, she said: "He has changed for the better. I can see and I believe that he has changed for the better. He has done a lot of things to get back together, which are crazy, silly, and interesting This also makes me My thoughts and feelings about him are all confused"
"What?" Ye Wei's heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He had not gotten the real answer before, and he did not understand her completely.
"He asked me to forgive him. What about forgiveness or not?" Lily said, paused, turned back and walked towards the movie theater, turning her back to what he was saying: "What that guy did was not murder and arson. We He is not dating, he just turned to another path, the asshole path, and then went deeper and deeper. Now he has come back, I believe in his heart.¡±
She didn't know what Ye Wei's expression was, so she continued as calmly as possible: "Butbut I don't want to accept him, haha, II have a girl's dream, one day I will meetmy prince charming. If I accepted him, as if I believed that Bobby and Dingan did not exist I am still young, maybe, maybe there is still a chance. "
Her heart broke in pain, making her doubt whether this was her intention: "So I don't dislike him, maybe I like him a little bit, butaccepting him is like, nothing is ever possibleCan you Do you understand?"
"I understand." Ye Wei looked at Lily's back and the swaying cross-body bag, feeling a little unable to move forward. The sound of a car on the road was so harsh that it made his head explode: "That front man of yours Boyfriend, no matter how he changes, he has lost the qualification to be your prince charming. As long as he persists, he is kidnapping you, clinging to you like a toad, preventing you from moving forward, pursuing your dreams, and realizing your dreams. The perfect love possible.¡±
He really understood. He understood some of the things she said when she refused. It wasn't that she didn't forgive or not, it wasn't that she didn't feel it, it was that he was not qualified.
"Yes." Lily's heartache was gradually replaced by confusion, "That's what I thought."
"Is this your childhood dream? What is your childhood dream?" Ye Wei asked, feeling heartbroken that he was truly losing her, completely.
Lily was silent for a while, walking side by side with him, and suddenly said: "Love can last forever."
Ye Wei nodded silently, if love can last forever, then parents will not quarrel and divorce, then everything will be fine. This is how love should be, from the beginning to eternity, of course.
"What about you?" Lily asked.
"Me?" Ye Wei looked at the dark night sky and recalled that his childhood was almost carefree. Except when he didn't have enough fun, he chuckled and said, "I always had fun."
Love-can-be-forever
Have-fun-as-always
Isn¡¯t this enough to explain the differences and current problems between him and her? Ye Wei suddenly understood that he was fulfilling his childhood dream in the first half of this year and having new fun every day. At the same time, he was offending and destroying Lily's childhood dream. How stupid.
He has come back from being a jerk, Nina will get back together with him, Amy will get back together with him, Emma and Liz will want to try dating himbut Lily, she doesn't want to.
She understood what he was thinking, and she still had some feelings, but those feelings were residual, twisted and forced. Why should he ask her to willingly give up her childhood dreams for him? Accept the disgusting reality? Bury Poppy and Dingan with your own hands?
After thinking through this and then accepting it, Ye Wei looked down at the street and smiled bitterly.
I used to often hear that to love someone, you sometimes need to know how to let go. I was very disdainful of this and thought it was just a matter of muddling through.
But now, he knows that he should really let go.
"Li Ishta." Ye Wei looked at the frowning Lili with a smile. He laughed a few times to try to make his heart less painful, but it was no use. He almost gasped and said, "Your story has given me great enlightenment." , I happened to have this problem with my ex-girlfriend, and I know what to do now.¡±
Lily looked at him intently.
"I should let go!" Ye Wei grinned exaggeratedly, "She and I are in the past, and we can't go back."
Lily didn't speak, her face quickly turned red, and her heart was filled with extremely confusing memories. The passionate time she spent with him, his efforts to get back together, but there were photos of him dating those women, and now tonight She couldn't think about things, couldn't speak, neither Lily nor Ishtar could do it.
She felt that something was lost again, him. In the past three months, she had actually regained him, and now she was losing him again, truly losing him.
Every time she rejected him or scolded him, the heartache grew stronger, or the heartache that was frozen in her heart was awakening. This extremely painful heartache told her that she didn't want to lose him. Why not accept it? It's not just a dream, there's something holding her back.
She suddenly saw another darkness in her heart, which was a fear. She was afraid of being hurt by him again.
That is also a suspicion, can love last forever? On the first day she moved to the United States, she knew it was just a ridiculous daydream.??She has no confidence in it, no confidence in herself, no confidence in him, no confidence in the thing "love".
She wants to have someone who can give her more confidence, calm her fears and doubts, and lead her to believe.
In the past, she thought Ye Wei was this person, but now, she doubted whether Ye Wei was this person.
"Wait a minute, I'll send a text message to my ex-girlfriend." Ye Wei smiled, took out his cell phone from his jeans pocket, pressed it, and sent a text message.
Lily calmly and numbly took out her mobile phone from her cross-body bag and opened the new text message she had just received: "Lily, let us end it peacefully like this. I will let nature take its course. I wish you will meet your Prince Charming soon. Good luck to you! But there is a memory that I will never give up. It was the first time you said 'hello?' to me. Please let me keep it selfishly."
"Aren't you going to give your ex-boyfriend a reply?" Ye Weixiao asked, only with a smile on his face could he look decent.
Lily suddenly smiled too. She didn't know why she was smiling. She shook her head slightly and said, "I want to tell him face to face that weweit's such a pity."
"There are always some regrets in life." Ye Wei said.
"Maybemaybe only regret can last forever." Lily said.
"Love is okay, as long as you work hard for it." Ye Wei couldn't stay any longer, otherwise he would probably go crazy and hug her, get slapped by her again, etc. He took a deep breath, exhaled briefly, and said with a smile: "Yi Shita, I have to go. Thank you so much for us being able to talk about this tonight. You look like a super good girl! Come on, I wish you good luck. Goodbye.
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode forward with all his strength, towards the direction of the parking lot.
Under the night, on the street in front of the movie theater on the side of the traffic avenue, Lily watched Ye Wei gradually walk away, turned the corner and disappeared. She didn't move for a long time.

Los Angeles, 28c~14c, sunny, calm/westerly breeze, waxing gibbous moon, precipitation 0.00 mm
"In summer, all flowers bloom, but in autumn, all flowers wither. Why, when I see everything in the world, they are all lilies? Lily, because of you, I have everything!"
"Okay, okay, how many times have you read it this week? I like it very muchbut! Your poem really doesn't rhyme, haha."
Crestwood Villa Park, in the woods on the north hillside, a young couple was sitting on the grass next to a big tree, laughing and playing, with several books beside them. The boy was looking at an "Encyclopedia of Unsolved Mysteries of the World" and recited a poem. It seemed that this was all he could see. The girl leaned on his shoulder and stretched out her hand to hit him.
She suddenly thought of a question and exclaimed: "When our relationship is exposed, it will always happen. This poem is so embarrassing"
"How to be embarrassed? Poetry is about expressing emotions." He said.
"It's much worse than Shelley's," she said.
"What! I thought the most you could say was 'much worse than my father's lyrics', Shelley?" He looked stunned, and she pretended to be serious: "That makes sense." He said angrily: " "Bring it here, let's see how she composes poetry!" She burst into laughter and took a large volume of Shelley's poems from the side and handed it to him, and he opened it.
The two of them read and read together, appreciated the poems, shared their feelings, savored the emotions, and looked forward to the future, the future of vi and li.
They like and excerpt Shelley's poems about the future, such as fear-not-for-the-future, weep-not-for-the-past. There is nothing to fear about the future, and there is no need to cry about the past.
And their favorite sentence is: the-past-is-death-s, the-future-is-thine-own. The past belongs to Death, the future belongs to you.
"As Dr. Brown said, the future is not static, but is in one's own hands. Everyone should work hard to create a better future!" He said with a smile.
"Haha! You can talk about everything in movies." She said with a smile.
"Yes, I will be a film master in the future."
"I hope so."
"I will work hard for your hope."

The night became darker and darker, with no rain and no wind at all. The whole world seemed to have stopped, sinking deep into the mire of darkness.
Lily returned home blankly. Without saying anything to her mother at home, she went back to the bedroom upstairs. She lay down on the bed without taking off her shoes, covered herself in the quilt, closed her eyes and fell into darkness. It's finally over, we broke up peacefully, it was quite romantic, Angus Leaf, Ishtar Vitage
Tonight¡¯s scenes and sentences came to my mind, and every detailClearly visible in the dark.
Some thoughts that I didn¡¯t notice at the time and emotions that I didn¡¯t have time to experience are now completely noticed, in such detail.
In the end, it all came down to his farewell: "Come on, I wish you good luck, goodbye."
Lily turned around, her mind still racing wildly, thinking about everything she had known him for the past three years, this year, the past three months, the past week, tonight
The more I think about it, the more heartache I feel, the more I think about it, the more panicked I feel, and I can¡¯t calm down at all.
She recalled the time Elizabeth Olson half-jokingly said on the phone, "You really don't want him anymore? If you don't want me, I'll take him away." She could tell that Olson really meant that. It was a test, and I said at the time, "If you want it, just take it."
A few days later, he came back to Los Angeles, and she came back to Los Angeles with a bunch of gifts She remembered that she woke up in the middle of the night and he closed the ia-songs channel. Thinking of that nightmare, she saw that in the future, Elizabeth Olsen became his wife and they got married. Or is it Nina Dobrev or Amy Rossum?
"This is going to happen sooner or later, he has decided to let go, he will have a new date, then a girlfriend, then a fianc¨¦e, and finally a wife.
No matter who it is, it won¡¯t be her, because she and him ended completely on September 10, 2006. She is looking for her Prince Charming, maybe she has found him, maybe not yet, but it will never be him
Why is this happeningwhy is this happening?
Her heart ached so much that her whole body was weak and could not be relieved. In the darkness and pain, she asked herself three questions, and three questions were enough:
"Do you still love him? Even just a little bit?" Yes, you still love him, not just a little bit.
"When one day you see him having a new girlfriend or seeing him get married, what will happen with your current heart?" It will be very painful and very regretful
"If you can be sure that he will not hurt you again, that getting back together is right, that you will be happy, and that you will be better than before, will you?" Get back together.
Then why not give him a chance, not give yourself a chance, not give this love a chance?
Because you are not sure? Fear? Suspect?
You said you wanted "love to last forever", but his love is still there, where is your love? If that's it, and we can't last forever, wouldn't all dreams be over?
The so-called dream is an excuse! You are afraid, you are suspicious, you are jealous, you just cannot forgive, you cannot love
Lily felt herself sinking to the end of her own darkness. She saw her arrogance and cowardice. They were real bars hanging high in the sky and she couldn't jump over them.
She also seemed to feel that Ye Wei and Elizabeth Olsen were dating, Nina was in Canada, and Amy Rosen was in New York. It wasn't them, it was Olsen. Maybe he was looking for Olson, maybe Olson was looking for He, he was confiding in Olson and Olson was comforting him and they hugged and they they
"No!!!" Lily suddenly shouted, opened her eyes, and raised her thick eyebrows, "I don't want that kind of future, I don't want that to happen, no!!!!!!"
Just like that, she held up the pole, jumped over the horizontal bar, flew in the sky, and landed on the ground. It was okay!
Lily hurriedly sat up, reached for the bedside table, picked up her mobile phone, and called Ye Wei. She covered her ears and ran out of the bedroom.
future?
The past belongs to Death, the future belongs to you!
That little gangster, no matter he is good or bad, he is mine! It's all mine!
This is not about accepting the destruction of dreams, it is about accepting him. Get away from me any dreams.
Although I will die if I try and fail, but if I don¡¯t try and work hard, I will die now.
Amidst the long beeps coming from the mobile phone, Lily came downstairs and ran outside the house. Why wasn't the call connected? Where is he? What is he doing? Every long beep cut through her heart like a sharp knife, and those bad memories invaded again, making her breathing quick and her steps unsteady.
When I came outside, the night breeze blew slightly, and the phone suddenly clicked and was connected.
"Lily?" Ye Wei's words came out, obviously suppressing surprise.
"Where are you?" Lily asked as she ran towards the car in the distance. Ye Wei said: "I'm at home." She heard a girl laughing and laughing, it was Duoduo, he was really at home. He added: "Just now Duoduo and I were playing hide-and-seek. I thought she was using her cell phone to lure me out. I was sorry to pick her up so late. What's wrong?"
She couldn't say no and said: "Go somewhere, now! I'll wait for you there."
"What!? Oh! Oh"Come on, I'll go now. "As soon as he shouted in surprise, he fell down again, feeling a little embarrassed.
Fool. Lily added: "Either go, or you're an old stubborn."
"Either go, or be a stubborn old man." He also said.
¡ù¡ù
It is not your soul that is to blame, but you know yourself,
Nor do you hate the sins of others, nor do you hate your own.
It is only the dark idolatry of self,
So, when our thoughts and actions are gone,
??Requires that man should cry, bleed, and sigh;
Empty compensation! Rest in peace!
The past belongs to Death, the future belongs to you;
And love and joy can turn the evil mind into a paradise of flowers, where peace may build her comfort zone.

Under the dim night sky, the street lights illuminated the lonely community streets with dim light. It was almost 11 o'clock. Except for the occasional barking of dogs and the sound of cars passing by, it was lonely and quiet.
Ye Wei drove a Volkswagen Polo to his old place on Sunset Boulevard. Girls, do you really need to tell me in person, "It's a pity for us"? He didn't understand, but it didn't matter to him if Lily needed this breakup ceremony, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon.
The car lights were on ahead, and before they arrived, Lily¡¯s white Maserati was already parked on the roadside. Time seemed to have returned to the time when they first wandered around, but the lonely night sky and the cars that were no longer bicycles reminded him that that was all in the past.
Ye Wei parked the car on the sidewalk, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car, and saw Lily in front of him getting out of the car at the same time. She is still wearing the same clothes and shoes as before, a white jacket, dark red trousers and white sneakers, a dashing girl.
bring it on! Princess, swing your sword towards my heart and stab me to death.
He walked over with a smile, "Hi, Lily, how are you doing?"
He suddenly felt something was wrong, it was her tear-filled eyes, her face that seemed to be filled with tender love
"Wei." Lily called softly, walked one step in front of him, and looked at his confused face. At this moment, she thought of a lot of idiots. In the gentle breeze of the night, she raised her left index finger to point at him, stared at him, and naturally sang from her heart: "Listen, my dear, I want you to listen."
Ye Wei was startled, and then a huge force suddenly surged into his heart. This was Jewel's new song again-and-again this year, and he had heard it before.
"I can't leave, I tried again and again" Lily sang a few lines, her slightly trembling voice almost crying: "I know we said we have given up, you said we have had enough fun , again and againbut you, you are always in my heart, that's it, all the time!"
She covered her heart with her left hand and stretched out to him, "Tell me, this is because you are mine, everything is mine."
"Lily" Ye Wei was completely trapped in an unknown gravity field, feeling that he was spinning and changing, and everything that had passed away was being resurrected
"If you are willing, I will be willing to try to let it go." Tears fell from Lily's tearful eyes, and she continued to sing to him who was stunned: "If you try, I will try, try to let it enlighten us. Road, because love will stay in the heart. Look into my eyes, try or die, and I'll be trapped in love until you say enough is enough."
Her eyes are brighter than the stars in the sky, and her singing makes all the darkness eclipse: "There is no surrender in those moods, but there is no giving up in love."
"Walking on the streets, staring at things the rush and constant flow, over and over again Doing what I should do, trying to stay busy, your face is all I can see, over and over again But you, you are always in my heart"
"Ah!" Ye Wei suddenly let out a long roar, stepped forward, and hugged Lily, who was dancing and singing, with both hands.
He didn't know anything. He only knew how to hug her with all his strength, tightly hugging her trembling body with excitement, burying his head in her hair, nodding his head again and again, and saying over and over again: "I Try, of course, I want to try, yes, I am willing to try"
"Then I'll try" Lily choked, not knowing whether it was because he was almost suffocating in his embrace, or because it was difficult to breathe. She buried her head in his chest, and opened her arms to hug him tightly. , let the tears run wild. This feeling told her that this was right, that this was all right.
The two hugged each other for an unknown amount of time, neither wanting to let go nor move at all, as if they were afraid something would change again.
Until he and she relaxed slightly, she stood on her toes and raised her face. He hugged her, leaned down on her face, and kissed her lips together. The light kiss instantly turned into a passionate passion. kiss.
The two hugged each other tightly, kissed passionately, and rotated, wholeheartedly, and their hearts were in harmony.
The last time they embraced each other and kissed like this was June 8, 2004, the day she went back to the UK to visit relatives, two years and three months ago.
I have experienced too much and changed too much, but the good feeling is still there, it turns out that everything is still there.
You make everything sweet in the past, you make everything meaningful in the present, and you make everything possible in the future.
This is yesterday reappearing, and this is also a new beginning.
"I hate Los Angeles" After kissing for a long time, Ye Wei suddenly said during each other's breathing.
"Why" Lily asked.
"Because the sky in Los Angeles is so rural. It doesn't rain at this time. It's really unromantic." He complained. She burst into laughter, and then looked surprised: "Isn't it raining now? Look!" She raised her head and raised her delicate hands, "It's raining so hard!"
He also looked up, and immediately saw that it was raining heavily in the bright night sky, and the clear rainwater was falling, hitting them and the ground, and the whole world was filled with the sound of rustling rain. His right hand held her left hand and he sighed: "Yes, it's raining heavily."
The two held hands tightly, looked at the heavy rain in the night sky, and felt the beauty everywhere.
With you, the world is a dream, a dream world of love and laughter.
Let¡¯s face the uncertain future hand in hand, let love last forever, let fun last, and let all dreams come true. As long as I have you, I'm not afraid.
In the refreshing heavy rain, Ye Wei and Lily kissed each other again and fell in love.
