Chapter 500 The Most Romantic Thing - The Unfinished Story
"Qianqian:
When I write these two words, I feel like I am calling myself.
I saw my clear eyes in the mirror, took a photo of you and me, and realized that between our eyebrows, we were so similar, even the arc of our smiles were the same.
The only difference is that your hairline has beautiful peaks.
But I didn't.
Perhaps, this is the most direct difference between you and me in our initial infancy, right?
I guessed that, but my mother said no. She said that newborn babies are fluffy and have no hairline.
I laughed after hearing this and asked my mother with a smile, how did she recognize you and me?
My mother smiled and said, of course, mothers have their own ways.
I do not believe.
After repeated questioning, my mother revealed a secret.
You have inner eyes, and I have outer eyes.
Although I don't admit it, we both have the same eyes, bright and clear, big and energetic.
However, my mother insisted on saying that as if it was true.
Then I thought about it again and again, even if my mother was right.
After all, I can still recognize you from a crowd at a glance, without looking at your hairline or whether your eyes are both inside and outside.
Just because you, Su Qianqian, are my Ouyang Fuqian's only and dearest sister.
So, Qianqian, please don't doubt, put aside the worries in your heart, and live every day in the future. You are not alone in this world. You still have me. Even if I am gone, you still have your father and mother.
This is my first wish. I hope that my only sister can get to know myself again. Although you are late, you are still an indispensable part of our family.
Of course, I also know that it is easier said than done.
Actually, you don't have to envy me, I have always lived by my parents' side.
That's because I have been diagnosed with a congenital disease since I was born. Fortunately, you are healthy.
So, actually, you are the one who is envied.
You can squander as much as you want, run away as much as you want, and live a long and healthy life in the future.
And I, maybe, won't be able to last this summer.
When you read this letter, I may have arrived in another world.
When I arrived in another world, I originally wanted to go to our biological mother and ask why she abandoned us immediately after giving birth to us.
When I wrote this letter, I suddenly began to understand that since I never knew some people and some things from the beginning, why bother to force them.
Of course she also has her own difficulties.
So, the second thing I want to say is, Qianqian, please don't be unfamiliar with your parents anymore. From the moment we were born, they have been our benefactors and our real parents.
Because they adopted us, they can no longer have children of their own.
Presumably, they also went through a lot of struggle.
My parents thought I didn't know this secret.
And I knew it.
Do you still remember the summer when you were in third grade and I suddenly fainted?
That day in the hospital, I needed a blood transfusion. It was then that I learned that my father has type A blood, my mother has type O blood, but you and I have type B blood.
Now that you have learned about nature, you should know that neither you nor I are the biological daughters of our parents.
However, their love for us is no worse than that of our biological parents.
No, to be precise, our parents are only them and no one else.
From the moment we are first born, everything is set.
Everyone who knows us says that we look a lot like our parents. I look more like my father, and you look more like your mother.
In fact, this is probably the reason why they accepted us in the early stage.
Mom said that when she and Dad first saw us in the hospital, we suddenly grinned at her.
At that moment, the corners of my mother's eyes became wet for no apparent reason. She pointed at the two of us and said, she wants these two children, and they are smiling at her.
The nurse looked surprised and said to the mother, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood. How can a newborn baby smile? It must be at least a hundred days old.
Mom insisted, and we smiled at her.
Maybe, that's what I said in the beginning.
In order to remember and not get separated, we were both named: Qianqian.
One took his father's surname Ouyang Fuqian, and the other took his mother's surname Su Qianqian.
It is said that my mother's aunt and father's teacher picked it up for us and translated it into "Shuowen Jiezi" and "Cihai".
It is said that those two are also very knowledgeable people.
When I first heard it, my stomach almost hurt from laughing.
Two such simple names: Ouyang Fuqian and Su Qianqian.
It is also worth reading "Shuowen Jiezi" and "Cihai".
Later, I read it myself and understood their meaning.
Su Shi has a poem that says: Autumn dew is heavy, and the pearls fall off the sleeves with lingering fragrance.
The fragrance is shallow, which seems to be a contradiction, but in fact it is full and overflowing. Only when people are content can they be happy.
It is said that a name is like its person, and this name seems to have been destined to be a reflection of this short life.
At this moment, as I write this letter, I feel no sadness or pain in my heart.
I can only thank God for allowing us two sisters to always be together and never really separate.
In fact, I still feel a little guilty for you, my only sister.
If it weren't for my congenital illness, we would have been living together and you wouldn't have been sent to an orphanage.
Fortunately, the dean is my mother's best sister.
Unexpectedly, because of this, your personality also follows your name: Qianqian.
As for the meaning of Qianqian, you must have known it from Grandpa Li, so you don’t need me to explain it.
Therefore, my second wish is that whether I am here or not, please stay with my parents. We were not able to participate in their first half of life, but in the second half of their lives, please stay with me until the end.
They have sacrificed so much for both of us.
Presumably, my leaving soon will also cause them pain.
Fortunately, I still have you, and they still have you!
As for me, I also turned into the brightest thing in the sky - the crescent moon.
Is it different from what you imagined?
Yes, I won't be the brightest star, because the bright moon is rare.
I want to be the brightest moon in the sky, so that when you look up, you can see me from the first day of the new year to the end of the month. I will always be with you in the early morning or dusk, the crescent moon or the full moon.
Qianqian, you are young (you talk as if you are very big, but in fact, you are the same), and your young heart should not be burdened with old thoughts.
I am just a fragment in a long life, and all that is left is the memory of looking back. You still have to walk most of the way forward by yourself.
And, that little boy far away.
You can borrow my name and take him to fly with you.
This is a secret between you and me.
From now on, Su Qianqian is me and you are Ouyang Fuqian.
You can't change, but you can pursue or give up. Life inherently requires pursuing and giving up.
But I hope that you can persevere and take them out of Liujia Village, to Jingyun, and towards a better future for that little dream.
So, Qianqian, my third wish is to live well for me, love myself well, love my parents, love the people around me who are worthy of love, those friends who are far away, and friends who are near and far.
