At the beginning of the story
Wen Shuxian discovered a bottomless pit in her bedroom, inhabited by a monster that ate nothing but meat.
As time went by, the monster began to look more and more familiar. It seemed to be the lover who had already died.
Luo Qianzhou had treasured the world of just the two of them with Wen Shuxian. But then that world collapsed.
Everything returned to the beginning.
If the beginning of a story is always a meeting, and the ending is always a parting,
what if she chose not to meet again this time?
[Goldfish]
Many fish tanks appeared in the nameless park by Wen Shuxian's home. Their glass was coated with moss, and goldfish could be seen swimming inside.
Wen Shuxian met a girl carrying a bag of dead fish.
“Because my mom and dad wouldn't buy me a fish tank, the fish suffocated to death,” the girl said.
Later, the girl dyed her hair blue and became as free as a fish, but in old age, she could no longer escape the fish tank.
So she begged Wen Shuxian for help in despair.
But Wen Shuxian had forgotten that when a fish tank shatters, the goldfish eventually die from lack of oxygen.
[Swimming Pool]
At the swimming pool where Wen Shuxian worked, there was a mermaid who liked eating raw meat and only came out at night.
The mermaid often flicked her tail and told herself stories about her life in the ocean.
But soon, people discovered the mermaid in the pool, and they all scrambled to claim her.
They began arguing and fighting, until at last they drained all the water from the pool.
The mermaid never returned to her ocean. She dried up at the bottom of the pool.
[School]
The high school she had attended resurfaced in her memories, its scenes hazy. The warmth of knowledge still lingered in Wen Shuxian's mind.
A transfer student joined the class. The face was familiar, but seeing it made her heart ache.
Wen Shuxian couldn't bear the pain and ran away, but no matter how far she ran, she couldn't get out of the school.
Up on the school building, the transfer student watched her and murmured, “It seems we're not meant to meet again.”
[Love]
One day, Wen Shuxian realized that the person in her memories was becoming increasingly blurry. At a loss, she went to seek help from a psychiatrist.
As she waited for her number to be called at the hospital, the woman beside her placed a baby in her arms.
“Her name is Luo Qianzhou. Please, you must raise her.”
Wen Shuxian thought it was absurd, but then the world before her began to break apart and reassemble.
In the blink of an eye, she was in the desert, holding a camel's reins in her left hand and a baby in her right arm.
Thousands of years of memories flooded into her mind.
A hazy figure stood before her, its voice carried to her ears by the wind.
“It's all right. We'll meet again.”
Theme: Searching for something more meaningful in life
It's a little sad, but also a little weird. At first I felt like I was watching Infinite Streaming, so I went back to read the details of the article. My wife wrote it very well. But I'm still a little sad, with a bit of sourness in my heart, and a not-so-happy feeling.
It would be great if I could start a review 🧋
This article is a bit abstract, like a dream
"She" and "he" are wrong a lot
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
Update soon [][][] I'm really looking forward to the follow-up plot [][]
Tied! Waiting for the next chapter
"Churchill Lowe Foreshore" I don't understand here. What does it have to do with Churchill?
"Chen Siyu and Luo Qianzhou" gave the author a big bug ~ Is this Qiao Le?
"Siyu can only squeeze in front and back" is a big bug for the author~ Is there an extra prefix here [let me be healthy]?
