"As soon as I saw you, I knew we were made from the same wilderness soil. My heart spoke to your heart as if they had known each other for a long time and were just waiting for this moment to meet."
Wen Jieyue has read this sentence for many years. She thought that the beautiful love in the book was just a lie by the novelist.
It wasn't until the off-white velvet hairband was loosened from her head that Wen Jieyue looked back - it landed in front of a strange boy's drawing board.
He sat on the steps of Florence, one leg bent, the afternoon sun shining behind him.
She saw a pair of eyes.
Mist blue.
Like the sea surface in the Mediterranean in the afternoon, it is as clear as glass beads just fished out of the sea. Those eyes were looking at her - without blinking, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.
She then took out a few euros from her bag and placed them on his sketchbook.
"Here you go, get some hot cocoa."
One day, the door of the tavern was pushed open.
He stood at the door, his body covered with snow, panting slightly, and his misty blue eyes passed through the entire tavern and landed on her accurately. He placed the hair tie on the bar and smiled.
"Sister, where's my hot cocoa?"
Then one night, when he was drunk, he complained that no one understood him. He said that he had painted a lot of moons. Everyone said it looked good, that the light and shadow were well handled, and that the composition was exquisite and unique - but no one could tell that what he painted was not the moon in the sky.
So Wen Jieyue asked him: "Then what are you painting?"
He looked at her, his eyes full of her shadow.
"It's the lamp at the door of your tavern." He said, "It's warm yellow, like the moon. So all the moons I painted are actually that lamp."
Snow fell silently outside the window.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered the words in that book.
Maybe there really is a person in this world who is made of the same piece of clay as you. When he appears, you can recognize each other without speaking.
He is seven years younger than you.
He has foggy blue eyes.
When he looks at you, the whole world goes silent.
Intention: The world is collapsing and sinking, and we are falling in love.
