Chapter 53 Zihuis special

Among the morning mist, under the wisterias, a woman in green clothes motionlessly let the wisteria fell on her. She smiled quietly.

Who are you?

My name is Jin Luo and who are you?

Who?

Every night, the little monk will suddenly open his eyes. An empty look.

The bright moonlight spilled through the window into the room, making the little monks face seem a little pale. He rolled over and shrunk in the quilt. Its that dream again. Its that girl again. Every time he woke up, he would not be able to remember her name or her appearance. But in his heart theres always an inexplicable familiar feeling as if he knew her.

WellWu Nian1, did you dream again, the senior sleeping in the same bed as him asked. Dont pull my quilt.

Wu Nian muffled: Sorry, senior.

He has a dreaming illness. He cant sleep well. Sometimes, hell wake up while shouting. His family thought he was possessed. Since his childhood, they took him to temple on the mountain to let him live there.

Every day after reciting the dharma, his illness will get a lot better. But occasionally, hell still wake up at night and cant remember the things he dreamed off. Just his heart will feel empty.

Early in the morning, after the morning classes finished, Fang Zhang called Wu Nian away. He commanded Wu Nian to go live at the back mountain and to help the elderly monk take care of the back mountain. Wu Nian nicely complied and in the afternoon, he picked up his things and went to the back mountain.

Outside of the house on the back mountain, theres a huge wisteria tree. No one knows which predecessor planted it. Kong Dao monk is already old and couldnt do many things anymore. All the things that needed to be done to take care of the back mountain have been handed over to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian got this job, but he didnt work as sincere and good as before. Always lost in thoughts while looking at the wisterias. For this reason, he doesnt know how many slaps he has suffered.

Year after years, he observed the wisterias blooming and falling. Unconsciously ten years has passed. Kong Dao monk passed away. He now lives alone at the back mountain. He slowly became from a little monk to a big monk.

That day, the wind was breezing and it was sunny. The wisterias were just blooming. A string of flowers poured down like waterfall. In the sunlight, it turned the yard in a dream like purple.

As usual, Wu Nian was holding a broom and looking up at the wisterias in blankly absence. Suddenly he heard a girls stunning praise: What beautiful wisterias!

Wu Nian turned around to look. A girl dressed in light yellow skirts walked from that side of the mountain and stood not far away from the wisteria tree. She looked up at the wisteria and forgot to close her mouth in amazement. The girl stood for a long moment before she saw Wu Nian at the side. She was shocked again and exclaimed: What a beautiful monk!

Wu Nian lowered his eyes, turned and began to slowly cleaning.

That girl covered her mouth and seemed to know that those words were somewhat out of line. She blushed and rushed to explain: Sorry, sorry, dashi2, , dont mind me. I didnt want to offend you..I just have a loose tongue.

Since the other party has said that, Wu Nian thought it wouldnt be good to fuss over it anymore. He bowed and said: Emituofo3, shizu4, help yourself.

The girl scratched her head while smiling: Its good if you just dont blame for being out of line.

The girls words hardly left, suddenly Fang Zhang came from the small road.

Nushizu (female version of shizu) walks too fast. Its difficult for this old monk to catch up.

The girl stuck her tongue out. Fang Zhang turned to look at Wu Nian and commanded: Its good that Wu Nian is also here. This is the Miss from Shi fu down the mountain. Her body isnt well. She needs to come live in the mountains for some days. The back mountain is a quiet place. In the future, Wu Nian, take care of Miss Shi.

Wu Nian hesitated. He didnt even find ground for refusal when he heard the girls hearty chuckle: Wu Nian dashi, this little girl, Shi Qian, will be in dashis care.

Wu Nian opened his mouth, but didnt know what to say.

After Shi Qian came to live at the back mountain, the time of Wu Nian staring in daze at the wisteria tree has become less and less. This girl who has a straightforward temperament and who loves to laugh is always in some kind of situation that made him helpless. Always saying many things that made him speechless. Always doing a lot of things that made him didnt know if he should cry or laugh.

Every day, she can make the quiet back mountain into a very noisy place. At day time, Wu Nian is endless fatigue. At night, the moment he touch the pillow and closes his eyes, hell immediately fall asleep. There is no time to dream about that dream.

Day after day, he became accustomed to the noisy Shi Qian beside him. When looking at her, he no longer can see something else.

The wisteria bloomed a lifetime beside them. One day, Shi Qian has been taken down the mountain by the people of her fu to celebrate her fathers birthday.

In Wu Nians eyes he can finally look at the waterfall of the wisterias.

On a day where the sky is blue, his mind suddenly flashed a scene. A green dressed girl standing below the wisteria tree, looking at them motionlessly. Her side profile is so beautiful, making people afraid to touch it.

My name is Jin Luo

She spoke softly and then lowered her eyes. On her lips hung a smile, but her eyes seemed to be about to shed tears.

Do you still remember me

A breeze blew. The wisteria petals fell on the ground. Wu Nians spirits suddenly returned. His cheeks are wet.

What.

Wu Nian was a little startled. His fingertips touched the droplets sliding down from his eyes. Why did his tears fall?

That night, Shi Qian didnt return to the mountain. Wu Nian carried a bit of worry and slowly fell asleep.

He dreamed again of that long absent dream. The emotions of the green dressed girl in his dream seemed so real in his mind. The temperature of her palm, the taste of her lips, her beautiful features. She called over and over again the name Zihui5. Over and over, she said: Ill wait for you.

He saw her in a room made of stone, waiting for a whole lifetime. He felt that this woman is important to him. Maybe even the most important.

But when he woke up, only Shi Qian was sitting at his bedside. Her eyes are red from crying. And Wu Nian can no longer remember the longing of that dream.

He raised his hand and touched Shi Qians head. He felt heartache for her distress.

Whats the matter?

His voice hid the affection he felt for Shi Qian.

Iyesterday, I returned to Shi fu. My father said

Shi Qian couldnt stop her tears from falling down.

My father said, he promised me to a family. He..wants me to marry.

Wu Nian was startled. Shi Qian looked like she couldnt hold it anymore and rushed forward. She clung to Wu Nians neck.

I like you! I only like Wu Nian! I dont want to marry someone else! I only like you!

Outside the house, the shadow of the wisterias shook. His ears seemed to be invaded by the words of another woman. That person said: Zihui, I Iike you.

She said: Zihui, lets get married, alright?

She said: In the future, Ill always be by your side. Ill be your wife.

At this moment, he suddenly has the urge to push Shi Qian away. Suddenly, he felt a sense of guilt winding in his heart. Suddenly he rememberedhas he forgotten a very important matter?

Shi Qian didnt get Wu Nians comfort. She let go of him. Somewhat afraid, she looked at him: Wu Nian..are you angry? I know youre a monk, but so many days, I thought you..

Her voice got smaller and carried grievances that cant be said: I thought you also like me.

This sentence let Wu Nians spirit return. He looked at Shi Qians face full of grievances. Those inexplicable thoughts and those memories that never existed dissipated like smoke. What is left is only this time. Shi Qian accompanying him every day. The warmth and love that he is afraid to broach.

Wu Nian blinked, pondered for a while and smiled helplessly: I think, I also like you.

Shi Qians eyes lit up.

In a years time, being together from morning till night. Shi Qian is originally a girl that will let people like her. Wu Nian is really Wu Nian (without longing). Finally, he also has longing now.

He sighed: Then, should we prepare to run away?

He thought that this woman is worth to give up everything to protect her.

Shi Qian stared at him blankly and immediately nodded.

While carrying a luggage, Wu Nian held Shi Qians hand and walked down the small road to go down the mountain. Before leaving, Wu Nian turned back and looked. Between his trances, he seemed to see a green dressed girl standing under the wisteria tree. She looked at him. There was a mild bitter curvature on her lips.

Wu Nians steps stopped. He saw her lips moved. She seemed to say: Goodbye, forever6.

He was a little startled. His heart felt an inexplicable pain.

In a blink of eye, a big breeze blew. Wisteria petals flew in the sky.

Shi Qian turned around and looked confused at Wu Nian: Wu Nian?

Wu Nian stared blankly for a while. Then he shook his head and continued to walk down. He said: When were down the mountain, help me make a name. I can no longer be called Wu Nian.

Shi Qian winked, pondered for a while and suddenly laughed: Oh, does that mean that in your heart you have me? Are you saying that youre not able to be alone anymore? This is really nice! Dont worry, when were down the mountain, Ill give you a nice name..

Wu Nian smiled stiffly. He doesnt know how to deny.

Perhaps the yearning in the depth of his soul is no match for the warm friendship that accompanied him every day. Just like that mortals are no match for the emptiness of the heart. Who would not choose a haven thatll make him feel warm in time of weakness?

Even if..thats not the place where he originally wanted to go.

No matter how unfeeling or how without longing he is, after all he is just a mortal.

Footsteps slowly mixed in the crowd. A breeze passed by, leaving only ruined flowers to bring the next year.

Author has something to say: I really thought a long time about this special chapterbecause I really didnt want to write the past story of Zihui and Jin Luo (because I think, Ill write it really bad). So I wrote such a story. In fact, this story has been compared to Lu Hai Kongs story. I asked a sister before making a decision. Lu Hai Kong is too pure and too clean, like someone from a dream. Thats right, for girls Lu Hai Kong is a dream. And this story of Zihui is more of a realistic portrayal. Hell forget that person of his past. Then hell start a new life. Its not to say how fickle Zihuis feelings are, but its that everyone has a weak moments and selfishness. Why not choose a better life for oneself? Women are like that. Men should also be like that. Maybe putting the past down is the most difficult choice.

In addition this story also wants to tell a truth that a Jius mom told a Jiu: When he likes you, he really liked you. When he likes someone else, he also really likes that person.

Personally I think, people are probably like that. Eating whats inside the bowl, watching whats inside the pot

Finally, everyone, dont take this story too seriously ==

Comments:

When I read that this story is about Zihui, I thought that itll tell the story of Zihui and Jin Luo. How they meet and how they fell in love, but it turned out to be a story after their soul scattered

Zihui and Jin Luo were never meant to be. Even if Wu Nian remembers Jin Luo, they cant be together in real life. . Zihui can reincarnate life after life again, but Jin Luos soul ceased to exist. They can only meet in their dreams. Cant blame Wu Nian for choosing a real person. But I still feel sad for them.

The side stories are not what I expected. I hope that the next story will be more happy. The next ss is called CK and XXZ special: Happy life?
