Chapter 32 Those Obsessions (Part Two)
Sometimes the thieves would also be well-dressed, but temperament could not be imitated.
The old man decided to believe the young man. "Okay, don't stay too long. The wind is cold at night. Come in the daytime in the future."
After thanking the old man, he turned around and walked into the cemetery and expertly to the front of Alice's tombstone. He could even reach the position with his eyes closed.
In the past five years, he had only come to see Alice for a few times, only on the anniversary of their relationship and Valentine's day. It was not that he was too busy with his work, nor that he forgot it and unwilling to come, but that he was too afraid to come.
He was afraid to see the cold and gray tombstone, on which the two words "Alice Gu" were engraved stiffly. He was afraid to see the familiar smile in the black and white photo, and that the beauty in the past would never return.
He was also afraid of meeting someone who also came here to mourn her, perhaps her parents, or perhaps it was her mother, or Sherri.
So he chose to celebrate their love anniversary and Valentine's day, avoiding Tomb-Sweeping Day and Alice's birthday. For so many years, it was not until now that he realized that he was good at dodging. He placed the flowers in front of Alice's tombstone. The white roses gave off a faint fragrance.
"I'm here to see you, Alice" Regardless of the dust on the ground, he sat on the ground and looked at the photo on Alice's tombstone gently.
"Sherri had told me everything today. I was so stupid to take myself as the center."
Harrison then looked up at the sky. The night sky tonight was extraordinarily beautiful, without any clouds. There were only stars and a bright moon, just like the starry sky where he, Alice and Sherri had made a wish to the meteor together.
"I remember you once said that after a person had died, he would not go to heaven or go to hell. Instead, he would turn into a star and look towards the people he cared about when he was alive." It seemed that Harrison had recalled himself, the young boy, from five years ago.
"Then which one are you? Alice, do you still remember the time we traveled to Japan? You said that you would also plant Prunus Lannesiana in the courtyard in the future. I have been planting it in the past few years. Have you being looking at the flowers blooming every year?
Besides, you bought that thing all of a sudden when you went shopping last time. After the jet lag, you were almost caught in the anti-theft bureau! It's so good to have a boyfriend in law. Otherwise, no one else would have escaped it."
"I still remember that you coughed more and more violently in the last few days," said Harrison with a bitter smile. "You lied to me saying that there were too many catkins. Yes, it was spring at that time. There were catkins everywhere. You were very smart, Alice.
You said you wanted to drink osmanthus wine and milk tea so I ran three streets to buy it. And I didn't know if you were still coughing when I left. You must be suffering. In the end, I can't share your pain. " Harrison kept talking about the past for a long time. When he left, he seemed to have lost his soul. He didn't know what time it was, nor did he know how he went home to sleep.
Harrison seldom had a dream, but tonight he had one. He seldom dreamed of his old friend, but tonight he dreamed of Alice.
In his dream, Alice was wearing a light green dress, with a blooming white rose at her ears. Her voice and smile did not change at all in the past five years. Her sweet smile was as usual, revealing two deep dimples.
"Harrison! Promise me to find a girlfriend. The next girl you fall in love with will be very happy. "Alice's voice seemed to come from afar, but it was clear and ethereal.
"Alice!" Harrison wanted to hug her, but she was like a wisp of smoke without a shadow.
You would always wake up from a dream. Yet, when he woke up, the sky was still at dawn. The morning sunshine came in through the window, and small dust could be seen flying in the beam of light. He wiped his face and it was wet.
"Maybe it's time to let it go." Five years of obsession and five years of silent missing should come to an end.
Harrison struggled to stand up. Among them, the one who he felt most sorry to was Sherri. Now he only wanted to make up for the girl who had been treated as his sister.
Before he met Alice, in the eyes of Harrison, Sherri was a calm and beautiful girl, who was also very excellent.
Different from the pursuit of most young talents in city A, Harrison really thought that this girl was suitable to be protected. Therefore, at that time, instead of falling in love with Sherri, he fell in love with Alice, who was completely different from Sherri.
But now, what had he done in the past five years.
Harrison asked himself painfully.
How could such a reasonable person such as Sherri hurt Alice? Her death would have also been a big blow to her.
Harrison dared not to think about it anymore. He was even instigated by Melissa Leng to tamper with the matter of Sherri. Now it seemed that he had completely disappointed Sherri. [
