The moonlight shone softly through the window, giving everything in the bedroom a hazy silver light.
I like the moonlight tonight. Such a night is very suitable for memories.
Look up at the bright moon in the sky, it's almost round. It will be August 15 in a few days. Dadong, will we be reunited soon?
I didn't turn on the light tonight, but I opened the bedside table in the bright moonlight. Carefully take out our memories-an iron box full of our childhood toys. Slowly touch the six sides of the box and try to feel your breath again. When my hand touched the bottom of the box, I suddenly felt something was wrong. I held up the box and looked at the rust on it. Suddenly my nose is a little sour.
Dadong, you have been away for so long that even the box that once carried us has rusted ... what about our past? Will it be corroded by time?
Trying to remember our past, fortunately, I remember everything. I'm so scared, so scared that I can't even keep our memories. If I can't remember the memories, I don't know what's left between us, and what can prove that we met.
Opening the lid, I couldn't help laughing. Looking at these childhood favorites, a warm current surges from the bottom of my heart. Take out the ring you gave me and hold it in your hand. Memories of my nine years old came to me.
"Dadong, do you think we will separate in the future?"
"Separate? I won't! Zhezhe, we will always be together! "
"How is it possible! Your parents will come to take you back to Taipei sooner or later. You won't live in this town forever. ..... you will leave me sooner or later. There is no' forever' in the world! "
"But those men and women on TV said they would be together forever ..."
"They got married. I watch TV and have diamond rings. Diamonds are very powerful and will never break! That is the real' forever'. "
"Then we also get married, can't be together forever! I will marry you in the future! I'll give you a diamond ring! "
"But I'm a boy ... you don't have any diamonds. Diamonds are expensive. "
"Yu Zhe, you mean don't promise to marry me? You don't want to be with me forever? "
"think! Want to! I want to be with you forever! You will marry me in the future! But I want the ring now! In case you cheat in the future. "
"good! You must keep your promise! But I don't have a diamond ring now. I'll buy it for you later, okay? I'll make you a stone first, and then you can exchange it for diamonds. How about it? "
"good! It's a deal! Let's pull the hook! This is our secret! "
"Well, our secret!"
After pulling the hook, Dadong chose a beautiful white pebble from the beautiful stones we collected before and made this ring for me. This ring is simple. Dadong pierced the stone, put a thread in the middle and tied it to my ring finger.
Since then, this ring has become my treasure. It tells me that I will always be with Dadong, forever. ...
In the winter when I was nine years old, Dadong put a ring on me. We have the secret of that winter. When we don't know how far forever is, we say forever. When we don't know love, we make a promise between lovers. However, since he left, I have asked again and again: can the promise made at the age of nine make us last? Will we really have forever? Will the secret of that winter come true?
I have never thought about eternal mentality, and I don't know when my feelings for Dadong have surpassed friendship. I only know that from a long time ago to now, I care about Dadong very much and want to be with him forever.
Put the ring back in the box. Look at the slingshots, cards, marbles and transformers in this box ... everything has many good memories for us! Thinking of this, my heart is full of happiness. Since Dadong left, it has become a must for me to read this box before going to bed every night for the past twelve years. These things are carefully preserved by me. These things are my "treasures" with Dadong.
There is a letter in the box, only one letter. I received it 27 days after Dadong left. In the letter, Dadong said that his parents told him to study hard and wouldn't let him contact here again. He secretly wrote this letter, and at the same time used a lot of ink to describe the prosperity of Taipei and his happy and lively new life in Taipei. From then on, Dadong disappeared into my world. He never wrote again and never returned to this town.
But it doesn't matter, I will wait forever. Dadong said he would come back, and he will definitely come back. I'll wait for him here.
Climb into bed, hold the box on your chest, and stick it tightly on the box with your chest, as if Dadong has been by my side, which can make you sleep more stably.
Wake up in the morning, watching the bright sunshine slanting in and shut myself up, feeling very warm. I suddenly have a hunch that today will be a good day!
Touch the iron box in your arms again and put it on the bedside table meticulously.
Get up and start a new day.
After breakfast, I went to Dadong's grandparents' house as usual. Dadong spent the first twelve years of his life here. It was also here that winter twelve years ago that Dadong's parents took him away at the age of twelve, leaving me to wait for him for the past twelve years.
Think of that day, it was a winter day. Winter in Taiwan Province Province is also very warm. It was as warm as usual. I went to Dadong's grandparents' house as always, thinking that we could go out to play as always, but I saw a strange car parked in the yard. Feeling a little flustered, I walked into the room and saw a middle-aged man and woman arguing with Dadong's grandparents. Dadong stood alone, looking like he was going to cry.
Seeing me, Dadong immediately ran over: "Yu Zhe, I'm leaving! My parents are coming to take me to Taipei! My grandparents don't want me to go, they are quarreling ... "
I can feel the sadness and disappointment of Dadong. Looking at the aging of middle-aged men and women and two old people, I know that all this is not a dream, and Dadong really has to go. I knew this day would come, but I didn't think about what we should do when it came. A stream of acidity welled up in my mind. At that time, I wanted to say a thousand words to Dadong, but every word got stuck in my throat. I just stared at Dadong, trying to impress his face on my mind.
Dadong was disappointed to see that I didn't respond: "Yu Zhe, don't you even keep me?"
I really want to say that if I leave you, you will stay. But my throat really can't say a word. Actually, I don't know. No matter what I do, Dadong will not stay. It took me a long time to squeeze out a few words: "Dadong, I really want to be with you forever." This is my truth, and the feeling at that time was that I took out my heart and said this sentence.
"Yu Zhe, I also want to be with you forever. But now ... "Before Dadong finished, Dadong's mother screamed," No matter whether you answer or not, we will take Dongcheng away today! ! ! "Interrupted our conversation, the screams were so loud that people had to pay attention.
Grandpa Dadong roared, "If you dare to take Dongcheng away, don't recognize me as a father again! ! ! "
"... sorry, we really can't let Dongcheng stay here. We will give Dongcheng a bright future. "After that, Dadong's parents left with Dadong, who was reluctant to go.
Looking at Dadong being taken away like this, I thought that we might never see each other again, and the feeling of despair spread from the soles of our feet to the top of our heads. I seem to have roots under my feet, I can't move, and my brain doesn't seem to turn.
I vaguely heard Dadong calling my name, and then flew out like a dream, only to see the car that had started.
Dadong stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Yu Zhe! Yu zhe! ……"
I followed the car on the dusty road and responded to Dadong: "Dadong! Dadong! ……"
"Yu Zhe, wait for me! I will definitely come back! I will! Wait for me! ……"
Gradually I couldn't see the car, and I couldn't hear what Dadong was shouting, but I still ran and ran, as if I could get Dadong back until I was too tired to sit on the side of the road. At that time, I swore to myself in a low voice: "Dadong, I will wait for you here until you come back."
I don't remember how I dragged my lead-soaked legs home. All I remember is that I cried all night with an iron box full of toys from Dadong and me.
From then on, I began my waiting career. ...
Going to Dadong's grandparents' home every day has not changed because of Dadong's departure.
I went to accompany Dadong's grandparents, because I wanted to help Dadong to be filial, because my parents died young, I wanted to be taken care of by my relatives, and because I wanted to know the latest news from them. But Dadong's parents really didn't go back to Dadong's grandparents' house, and Dadong certainly didn't come back. Two old people who love their grandchildren lost the news of Dadong just like me. In fact, I know that grandpa has always regretted his original decision. It is really difficult for his children and grandchildren to visit him for twelve years. He told the people in the town many times that if anyone went to Taipei to see his son and daughter-in-law, he had to tell them to come back, and he had forgiven them.
"Grandparents, Yu Zhe again ..." Greet them as usual.
"Yu Zhe, you're here ... you know, someone just sent word that they met my son and daughter-in-law in Taipei, and they finally came back, and cable will come back! They said they would come back at the Mid-Autumn Festival. You should also come then. Let's spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together! " Dadong's grandfather told me the good news excitedly.
Dadong ... is back ... I'm really surprised ... I can finally see you again! I have been obedient and waiting for you! I have always kept the secret of that winter. Can you live forever this time?
But on the morning of Mid-Autumn Festival ... I overslept! Alas ..... I was so excited last night that I didn't fall asleep until after four in the morning. And I got up late ~ ~ ~
I got out of bed quickly, and I really wanted to go and see Dadong at once. I don't have time to eat, but I wash it carefully, and I can't let Dadong see me sloppy. And then rushed to the big club. Although I don't know when Dadong will come back, the sooner I get to Dadong's house, the better.
I looked at my watch while running and accidentally bumped into someone.
Just want to apologize, forearm was caught: "Yu Zhe?"
Looking up, I saw the face that I missed day and night: "Dadong!" I really wanted to jump into Dadong's arms, but I stopped the impulse in time. We are still just good friends, aren't we? only ...
Dadong smiled happily: "Is it really you, Yu Zhe? ! You've really changed a lot ... When I was a child, you were always behind me, short and like a little follower. I didn't expect to grow so tall now! Almost as good as me! The longer the person, the more handsome! "
I vaguely feel that something is wrong, but I don't know what is wrong. I still spoke my mind: "Dadong is the more handsome, the better! I miss you so much! I also thought about whether I would grow taller than you, and now it seems that I still lost. "
"Yu Zhe, go to your home. I haven't been back for a long time, and I haven't been to your house for a long time. My family cried earth-shattering, and I was upset. I was just hugged by my grandparents and cried for a long time before I escaped. ..... they all regret their stubbornness. "
"Uh ..." I didn't expect cable to ask to come to my house. Too bad, I got up in a hurry in the morning, forgot to fold the quilt, and didn't put the iron box away before. The living room and bedroom are full of changed clothes. How can a messy room be seen by Dadong!
"No? Why are you hesitating? Don't you ... "Big bad gave me a tacit smile.
I don't understand the meaning behind Dadong's smile. Did he guess why? Still bite the bullet and go home with Dadong. How can I refuse cable's request?
Bring Dadong into the living room, look at Dadong awkwardly, and tidy up the room at once.
"Yu Zhe, don't pick up, we are all the same. I wondered, didn't anyone help you clean up? "
"Who would be so kind to help me clean up? What, someone helps you clean your room? "
Dadong didn't seem to hear me: "Yu Zhe, I'm thirsty. Do you have a drink? " ? "
"Er ... I put the refrigerator in the bedroom. It's there. "
It suddenly occurred to me that the bedroom was not cleaned up, and there were changed underwear yesterday! No, you can't be seen by Dadong under any circumstances! It will be embarrassing!
Show off my "Lingbo micro-step" and stand in front of the bedroom door in front of Dadong: "Er ... Dadong, can I get you a drink?" Sit in the living room first. "
"It's a secret! I think I'm right! You boy ... admit it ... admit that I won't go in! " Dadong looked at me with a clear face.
I was confused by him. "admit what?"
"Admit what is the reason why you won't let me in ... we are so big, it's normal. What is our relationship? Do you want to fool me? "
"Stop it! ! ! "How can I admit the cause of embarrassment!
"Then I'm welcome!" Dadong simply moved me away from the door. I knocked at the door and said, "I'm coming in!" " "Then I really went into the bedroom.
"How come no one?" I don't know what Dadong is talking about, but I can see that he is a little confused and disappointed.
"There's no one!" Hide your underwear while Dadong is distracted for a few seconds ... Alas, you must be diligent in the future! Although I am single, I can't be so careless!
Dadong took out his drink and sat on my bed. He has an iron box at hand. I don't know why, but I don't want Dadong to discover my little secret. I wonder what he will think when he sees that I still have our childhood things.
Dadong moved and found it. Open the lid, Dadong smiled and sprayed a drink.
"Yu Zhe, how old are you, still playing with these children's things! After so many years, I didn't expect you to be so immature! "
No, there must be a problem, but what is it? "Cable, these are the things we played when we were young! You loved these when you were a child! "
"When I was a child ... that was many years ago! Now that we are all grown up, how can we still play with those childish things? "
"Oh ..." When Dadong grew up, he naturally couldn't like those gadgets any more. I kept those things just for memories. However, stone rings are not toys. Just want to take out the ring, dadong's phone suddenly rang.
After answering the phone, Dadong said that he would go out for a while. I'm a little uneasy again.
Within five minutes, Dadong returned, but with a man and a woman.
"Come, Yu Zhe, introduce you, this is an elf. Wenxuan, this is my good friend Danson Tang. We grew up together, very iron! " Dadong introduced it excitedly, but I felt that somewhere in my heart was submerged.
"Good buddy? Why have I never heard you mention it? " At this point, the elf knew that he had slipped his tongue and smiled at me awkwardly. Dadong also looked embarrassed.
I'm not embarrassed. What are you embarrassed about ... but although I'm not embarrassed, my heart hurts ... Dadong, have you forgotten me?
Dadong obviously had nothing to say to resolve the embarrassment just now: "How time flies, Yu Zhe! Flash, we haven't seen each other for twelve years! We were only twelve when I left, and now we are all twenty-four! "
"Yes ..." When my eyes swept away, I accidentally found that the elf was wearing a diamond ring on his hand. It was not very big, but it made my eyes ache. Weak mouth: "Dadong, who is this Miss Zhuo ...? "
Dadong smiled shyly and scratched his head: "You found me, Yu Zhe. To tell you the truth, this is my fiancee. We will get married in winter. " Put your hand on her.
Fiancee ... fiancee ... Cable's fiancee ... Suddenly, my world collapsed ... Cable already has a fiancee ... What am I? ..... What was the secret of that winter? ..... What is the promise of childhood? ..... What is my twelve-year wait? ... what is everything ...?
Don't be angry! Can't get out of control! Dadong must have difficulties! Dadong will never forget the secret of our winter when we were nine years old!
Trying to keep myself calm and smiling, as if trying my best, always squeezing out a few words: "Dadong, why are you in such a hurry?" We are still young ... "
Dadong scratched his head and smiled more shyly: "To tell the truth, Yu Zhe, I was wrong ... I'm going to be a father." I wonder if it's my illusion. I saw ... the happiness on Dadong's face.
Automatically ignore the so-called "happiness" and convince yourself that Dadong really has difficulties ... that child who should not exist is difficult!
I forgot how I pretended to be calm and chatted with Dadong. I didn't even know what I said. Finally send them away, tears can't help but burst the bank. I kept crying and crying. I don't know how long I've been crying, but I'm finally tired of crying ... Looking up at the window, the night has come ... Look at my watch, it's past ten.
I called the genie and told her to go home alone. It seems that she agreed without any surprise. God knows how much I don't want this woman's phone number. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't even want to see her!
"You want to see me? Go ahead, what do you want to say? "
I really want to talk, but I don't know what to say ... what should I say? As a man, I fell in love with my good friend. Can you leave him? What about the secular? What about Dadong's feelings? What if ... Dadong doesn't like me? She has Dadong's diamond ring and children. What do I have? I only have a secret and a promise! What qualifications and positions do I have to return to my Dadong? ...
"Don't you say? If you don't say it, I will. I know you like Dongcheng, but I can see it clearly. But you don't have to be wishful thinking. Although I admit that I am not as beautiful as you, don't forget that you are a man after all! Dongcheng and I are getting married soon. I hope you can bless Dongcheng and don't ruin us, otherwise it will only be yourself who gets hurt. "
"What if I say, I want to gamble?"
"Gambling? Take your friendship with Dongcheng for so many years? Once you lose, not only can you not get the love of Dongcheng, but you can't even be friends! You have to think clearly! "
"Cable is twenty-four years old this year, and we have been together for twelve years! I have occupied half of Dadong so far! I know Dadong very well, and I believe my weight in his mind! "
"But all you know is the past in the east. Dongcheng and I are college classmates, and now we know Dongcheng. We have been together for more than two years, although not as long as you, but I will occupy the life of Dongcheng from now on! I have this confidence! Did you get a look at him? This is the diamond ring that Dongcheng gave me. He said that diamonds will never break, and he will always be with me! You can do it yourself. " With that, she left without looking back.
Today is August 15, another full moon night and a reunion day. I was looking forward to meeting Dadong in the same moonlight a few days ago, but now I hope Dadong didn't come back. If he didn't come back, I could still paralyze myself by waiting, but now … I'm lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Do I really want to gamble? If I lose, I really have nothing. But do I really want to be a "good friend" of Dadong all my life? !
I got up in the morning and didn't sleep a wink all night. I finally made a decision: I want to gamble! I can't stand being his friend all my life. Even at the risk of failure, I will take a gamble. Dadong, I bet our past and future on a present, on the secret of that winter, and on whether a promise can be realized.
Invite Dadong to his home and show him the stone ring directly.
"Remember this stone ring, Cable?"
Cable glance left and right, or shook his head.
It seems that I'm really going to lose this bet. It's not too late to stop, but I just want to gamble! Even if everything is burned.
"I remind you that the winter when I was nine years old ... the secret of the two of us ..."
Dadong looked at the ring for a long time, then suddenly jumped up like an electric shock and looked up at me with incredible eyes: "Yu Zhe ..."
"Remember? Remember our secret? Remember your promise to me? "
"Yu Zhe ... I said I would always be with Wenxuan ..." You can see that cable is in a dilemma.
I am aggressive: "The elf ring should be mine! ! ! I should be the one who will always be with you! ! ! I've been waiting for you for twelve years! ! ! "cable, I can't afford to lose ... please don't let me lose. ...
"Yu Zhe ... it was just ... childhood ignorance ... I forgot ... you forgot ... I never liked you ... you were just my good friend ..."
In a word, I completely lost ... we have no future, even the past has been completely lost by me ... The "words I didn't understand" when I was a child ... even when I was a child, it was false ... I really lost all the beautiful things when I was a child ... I had nothing. ...
You can afford a diamond ring, but I'm not the one who wears it. You promised forever, but I didn't get it.
My love has always been there, and your love has gone with you. Your return didn't bring it back. It has been dispersed by you in infinite time and I will never see you again.
The secret was forgotten ... the promise was broken ... I didn't know what to say. I didn't say anything until I knew it was useless. Let me take one last good look at you. I was just looking at you.
You seem to be stung by my burning and hopeless eyes and run away in a hurry.
Looking at your back, I finally stopped crying. I finally shed all my tears, and I finally have no strength to cry.
Twelve is really a magical number. It makes everything zero. At the age of twelve, you leave; Twelve years, you return; I waited 12 years, but I lost you ...
Since I was twelve years old, I felt so cold in winter without you after you left that winter. The secret of our nine years old is the only memory that can make me feel warm. Now, there are no secrets. You must get married this winter in twelve years. How can you get me through this increasingly cold winter?
When I left home, I unconsciously walked to the river where we used to play when I was a child. In the distance, two teenagers aged 12 are having a water fight, just like when we were young ... I don't know if they will repeat our story ... I hope they will find happiness ... I miss the place that smells like you. I didn't take off my shoes, so I went to the middle of the river, which was not deep. We've played here countless times. Go upstream, keep walking, keep walking. Before I know it, it's already dark, and the water seems to be getting deeper and deeper ... It is said that the moon on the fifteenth is round, and the moon on the sixteenth is really round, but my heart is broken and I can't go around it anymore. Hunger, cold, numbness and pain came at me together. I can't hold on any longer. I still have that stone ring in my hand. Even if I can't get the diamond ring, I don't want to abandon it. Dadong, I wonder if you will find the last me downstream tomorrow morning, the river where we often play. ...
Without the secret of that winter, without you, a warm winter is doomed to be far away. ...
End.
Yu Zhe always remembers his childhood promises.
Find Dadong when you grow up.
Only to find that everything has changed. ...
Anger and unwillingness are of no help in the end.
Can't help but ask
So these promises we're talking about now.
What is this?
The secret of winter
Always hidden in my heart
Maybe it's the spring of Yu Zhe.
Won't come ...
