Due to the unfinished love in the previous life and the agreement engraved on the edge of the Sansheng Stone, we passed through the world and met in the most beautiful years. It turns out that you have been waiting here for a long time, waiting for the thousand-year promise. We are here as promised in this life and will not miss it again. In this life, you hold hands in the world of mortals and meet each other with white heads.
————Inscription.
The fate between people may be destiny. The Buddha said that only by looking back at the past life five hundred times can we pass by each other in this life. Everyone comes to this world with the love of the past life, and they go back and forth over the years, just to find the unfinished fate of the past life and settle the debts of the past. The world of mortals is crisscrossed with streets, and what you are looking for is waiting for you at a certain alley in your life. Maybe you have been waiting for a thousand years, and those thousand years of waiting are also for the reunion in this life. Traveling through thousands of mountains and dusk snow, across the vast mist of time, just for this life to hold hands in the world of mortals. The journey of life is full of ups and downs, but the obsession in my heart will not be lost. I will hold hands with you in the beautiful places on the road of time. I will build a happy love nest and live a life that is neither scary nor disturbing, nor complicated nor noisy.
Whoever meets whom has already been determined, but their acquaintance experiences are different. There is only one you and one me in the world. One day, just looking at each other in the crowd of millions of people will have deeply planted each other in our hearts, and it will be reflected in our eyes and become a permanent image. Maybe it became the most romantic love at first sight, maybe it was so close, just separated by a thin line of time, just waiting for each other to cross over and start love.
The most clumsy thing is love that begins with the ancient model of matchmaker’s words. It's not romantic, it's very cliché. But we continued this traditional model. When we first met, the scene was full of embarrassment, just like the scenes in movies and TV series. Xu Shiyin's personality has been a bit cool since he was a child. When facing strangers, he would look at them coldly, remain silent, and be a little cold and arrogant. For a moment, the room was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be clearly heard. I felt that the scene at that time was really unspeakably embarrassing. Two strangers and unrelated people were pulled together. The two people in the room sat there speechless. Neither of them knew how to break the suffocating scene. There was confusion in my mind for a moment, and all the programmed programs were in chaos. That day, you were a little shy, your words were stumbling, but you were very direct. I feel like you are a very down-to-earth person, not the kind of person who talks too much. Unconsciously, I feel a softness towards you in my heart.
Every encounter in life is due to the word "fate". People leave it to the fate of deep and shallow fate to get together and separate. There are probably countless people who have met him in his life. Most of them are just passing by each other on the journey, turning around and forgetting his appearance. Only a few people will accompany you through the mountains and rivers, but in the end, they will not be able to withstand the endless flow of clouds and water, and they will be inadvertently lost in the clouds and smoke, never to meet again.
There is always a person in life who can withstand the wash of time and will slowly come closer to you. Time is colorful, but he silently accompanies your fireworks without saying a word. In the years spent together, there may be no flowers before the moon and no heart-wrenching love at first sight, nor the graceful words of Tang poetry and Song lyrics across the smoke and water. In simple days, he becomes your never-ending companion. He is with you through mountains and rivers, rain or shine. He is the one who truly accompanies you to see the scenery of your life. He will regard you as the love of his life. He will devote his whole life to you and will have no regrets. In this life, you will be inextricably bound to him, which is also your tenderness and your love. You bloom for him in the calm days of your life. Many years later, when his hair is gray and his head is gray, he still regards you as the treasure in his hand, and he will never let go of his true love in his life.
We met in the summer of June when the lotus breeze was light. Although it was a hot season, there was not much passion burning. That time of dating did not leave a deep picture in my memory. Due to work reasons, we get together less and stay apart more often. I am also a somewhat cold woman, a little indifferent to things, and always indifferent. The sky of love is always cloudy and breezy, which is somewhat contrary to the fiery rising sun. Nowadays, those days are a long time apart. Although they are never unforgettable, they have not been alienated by time and are stored in the depths of the years together with the past. Reading it occasionally, it seems like it was yesterday, timeless.
A year later, we naturally started talking about marriage, and the wedding date was set for spring. Because I like spring, it is a season where new life blooms and hope is sown. We just want to plant our future in this season of hope. After the changing of seasons and the washing of time, our hopeful hearts are looking forward to sprouting, blooming, and bearing fruit, and reaping the joy of love in the passing years. The wedding was not grand, it was simple. After accepting the best wishes from my new friends, I began to take care of the fireworks of the day.
Xu entered the city of marriage in a hurry without any training. Standing in the empty city, he felt helpless and unprepared. I don’t know how to add to it and how to enrich its inner meaning. Both are testing and groping with each other. I think that is inevitable for two newcomers. In a business operation with no experience at all, managing my life for a while gave me a sense of failure.
Two strangers who once had nothing to do with each other, held hands and lived together because of a marriage contract. It seems simple and clear, but you don't know how many complexities of life are inside. For example, living habits, recognition of things, and the construction of this city. For various reasons, just a slight touch can cause waves of displeasure.
Each water droplet is cool to the bone and will be surrounded by a kind of cold air. Sometimes the temperature will drop below zero and freeze. Fortunately, there will be spring flowers blooming to warm those unhappy cold days.
Two sharp-edged creatures, carrying the unfinished love from the past life and the promise of meeting each other in this life, gathered together under the same roof regardless of the matter. After bumping into each other in a small square room, I slowly accepted, understood, tolerated, and integrated from shallow to deep. In the process, there will inevitably be some unexpected scenery, sometimes ice and fire. In the end, because of the unforgettable affection and the responsibility entrusted to each other, they no longer insist on their own opinions and give in to each other, turning the situation around.
I know you are a man of few words, and I am used to your lack of words. I have been moved by your silent companionship and care all these years. You have never promised me anything, but you have always tried your best to meet my requirements. When I am tired, he will prepare the meal silently. When I'm in a bad mood, you will stay with me quietly. I like reading books, and I don’t want to do anything while reading them. You have never blamed me for this. You were afraid that my reading and resting too late would affect my health, so you always urged me to go to bed early. When I said you were annoyed, you just smiled helplessly at me. A few years ago, when you were working in other places, you were afraid that I would be lonely, so you bought me a computer. You once said to me, "I have suffered so much these years. You are out here and I have to take care of the family affairs alone. I feel very sorry for you." Simple words and warm love are your confession from the depths of your heart.
Time is a double-edged sword, it will make you lose, but it will also give you something. Those early days have faded away. A few years later, time remains the same, but beauty has changed. Everything seems to be harmonious and natural in these days. It is the passing years that have given us growth and calmness. The days are dull and quiet, and the love has turned from the original enthusiasm to coolness. Just like the bright moon, the gentle breeze, and the continuous drizzle, they moisten every ordinary day in the fleeting years.
Improve your life brick by brick with your hands, and record the touching moments between each other every day. Plant a city full of flowers and trees with sincerity of love, fragrant with the cycle of seasons. It is still the same city as before, it is no longer deserted, love has given it vitality and vitality, and it is filled with warmth and happiness in the passing years. Now we have been holding hands together for twenty years, and we have never left each other through thick and thin. In this life, you and I do not seek prosperity, nor do we seek fine clothing and food. We only want to cut out the complexity, keep things simple, and be happy.
Love does not require declarations, and life does not require commitments. It does not matter whether you are rich or not. What matters is the understanding, concern and responsibility in each other's hearts.
Perhaps there are no flowers and candlelight dinner, no love between flowers and under the moon, these are not important. In the ordinary years, we trust each other, hold the same umbrella in the wind and rain, walk hand in hand on the muddy journey, be able to stand together through thick and thin, and never leave. Don't live up to this hard-won fate. The sky in the future will also be full of flowers and full moon.
In this life, I am a cold woman. I only ask you to warm my heart. I will lower my eyebrows and smile for you, blooming the beauty of my life. I was originally that orchid, living alone in your deep valley, just for your fragrance. I am willing to devote all my life to accompany you through the ups and downs of life, just to warm your life. The plain and long years of smoke and water together depict a simple ink painting.
In his old age, there were several thatched cottages close to the mountains and rivers, where chrysanthemums were planted and weeds cultivated. Fishing by the stream with you, returning at dusk, hand in hand to watch the misty smoke from the cooking pots in the setting sun. Light rice, coarse tea, and a pot of sake can last for years. Cooking tea and drinking tea, chatting about the past and present. Open your bags of time and reflect the scenery you pass through over and over again. The long-lasting pictures are the accumulation of warmth and the freehand brushwork of love.
When we meet in this world, we have not become passers-by in this life. We are dependent on each other on the journey of life, just because each other can afford the promise and the responsibility entrusted to each other. Without the elegance of Tang poems and Song lyrics, without the declaration that the sea will die, the passing years will make life lively. Yesterday's loneliness is gone because of you, and there is no need for divination in the misty future. Cherish every inch of time spent together, live the years that are as clear as water, and never let down the love of this life. Even though they are old and have gray hair, they still never tire of looking at each other.
Love is very simple. Create ordinary fireworks with the person you love, and use two sincere hearts to live your life calmly, calmly, and smoothly.
Love does not ask for eternity, it only wants this relationship to last forever.
Hold your hand and grow old together with you.
This life is enough!
