Inside the car, Lu Weixi continuously gazed outside the window. The car was too quiet, and Qin Zhigu didn’t know how to break the silence, so he simply turned on the radio. Unexpectedly, it was a song dedication program. The male host introduced: “Up next, we have a netizen named ‘Morning Star’. He is about to get married in a few days but has met his deeply loved ex-girlfriend. They were separated because of some unstoppable reasons. Although they have met again, they know that the past can’t be pursued and they can’t betray their current girlfriends. So, he dedicates a classic old song ‘When Love Has Already Become Past’ to remember the love that has already passed.”
Afterwards, the car’s stereo began to play: “Don’t talk about the past anymore, life has already seen many storms, even if the memory can’t erase love and hate, it’s still in the bottom of the heart…”
The moment they heard this song, both Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu were stunned.
The two of them glanced at each other.
This song was from a movie she loved very much, a film she was madly obsessed with years ago. When that movie was digitally restored, she went to the cinema every day for a week, watching it seven times in total. Of course, every time, she dragged Qin Zhigu along.
In the first few instances, their follower student Cai Yiren also accompanied them. But, hearing the name of the movie after a few times made her automatically retreat.
After the seventh viewing, just upon exiting the cinema, Qin Zhigu had popcorn in his left hand and cola in his right, his mind felt numb, and his legs were weak: “Miss Bai, can we watch a different movie? I’m about to puke from seeing this one too many times.”
Even if he started watching this movie from any part, he could reflexively recall the ensuing dialogues.
Lu Weixi laughed heartily while clinging to his arm and then resolutely shook her head: “No.”
Seeing Qin Zhigu’s agonized face, she hesitated a bit, stretched out three fingers: “…how about, let me watch it three more times?”
Qin Zhigu still looked constipated, so she could only shake his arm left and right, acting coquettishly: “Accompany me to watch it three more times, just three more times! I beg you, second big brother, third big brother, good big brother.”
Qin Zhigu wailed: “Stop rocking, stop rocking, the popcorn and cola are about to spill!”
Only then did she laugh jovially as she took the cola with one hand and grabbed a handful of popcorn with the other. She stuffed his mouth with the popcorn, and after seeing him eat it, only then did she take a sip of cola.
The popcorn was sweet.
The cola was also sweet.
However, too much cola can also taste bitter.
Memories flooded back, even the car they were in was the one they used to ride in. Although everything inside had been replaced during the five years Kong Jie was using the car, the familiar feeling remained.
“Why don’t you understand (don’t say I don’t understand), as long as there is love, there is pain (there is love, there is pain). One day you will know, life without me will not be different (without you it will be different). Life has already been too rushed, I’m afraid that I might always be teary-eyed (teary-eyed). Forgetting me is useless, leave the past in the wind (leave the past in the wind)…”
The main melody is sung by a woman, the parts in parentheses are sung by a man.
Now, as they listen to this song again, from the title to the lyrics, it’s like a portrait of the two of them. Even the different singing tones of the man and woman echo their current feelings.
The time span of a song isn’t long. It quickly changed to another song, but the melody of the previous one still seemed to echo in their minds.
Perhaps it was because of this song that Lu Weixi’s tension towards Qin Zhigu finally softened a little..
