Chapter 6 Chapter Four

Li Chuanfang has not been to this jewelry store for a long time.The jewelry sold here is minority-style jewelry, the styles are very unique, most of which are purchased by the shopkeepers from other places.The previous owner was a small, earthy-complexioned girl who liked to dress like a gypsy.On the counter in the store, there are always several foreign horoscope books. When Li Chuanfang walked in, her face remained the same, and the young girl still did not give up her favorite gypsy dress and a pair of exaggerated big earrings on her earlobes. "Are you a Pisces?" the girl asked with a smile.

Li Chuanfang asked in surprise: "How do you know?" "The horoscope book says that I will meet a lot of Pisces people today." The girl paused, and then said, "Pisces will be broke today." Li Chuanfang smiled, and took a look at a silver bracelet engraved with simple patterns. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass in the store.She saw a man coming out of an Italian restaurant opposite.The man was wearing a white apron, stretching in the street.She put down the silver bracelet on her hand, and the man saw her through the floor-to-ceiling glass with a surprised expression on his face.

"I'll come back next time." Li Chuanfang told the girl.The girl muttered: "Hey, didn't you say that Pisces will break their pockets today?" Li Chuanfang walked out of the jewelry store, and the man across the street smiled at her. "Teacher!" she called softly.The man said with a shy look, "Long time no see." "Why are you here?" she asked. "Have you had lunch?" Li Chuanfang shook his head. "Come in and get something to eat," the man said.Li Chuanfang followed the man into this family-style restaurant, which felt very warm.

"What would you like to drink?" he asked. "whatever." "Bellini? Okay?" "What's a Bellini?" "It is a famous drink in Venice, made with peach juice and sparkling wine." "Yes." Li Chuanfang nodded. While the man was mixing drinks at the bar, a girl came out of the kitchen, took off her apron, and said to the man, "I'm going out." When she saw Li Chuanfang, she asked the man: "Are there any guests?" "She was my former student," the man said. The girl nodded to Li Chuanfang and went out.

The man put a glass of Bellini in front of Li Chuanfang and said: "Try it." "Thank you. Is she your girlfriend?" "She's my sister." "Oh." Li Chuanfang smiled awkwardly. "Today's tuna is very fat, how about some tuna pasta?" "Isn't tuna from Japanese cuisine?" "Italians love tuna too. Our tuna is lightly seared and tastes the best." "I really want to eat it!" Li Chuanfang happily picked up the knife and fork. The man brought out two plates of pasta with tuna from the kitchen and said, "This was supposed to be my lunch."

"Is this restaurant yours?" The man nodded. "Don't you work for an advertising agency?" "I quit my job two years ago. My sister and I grew up eating and she's a great cook. She also quit at the time and we opened this restaurant." "Is business good?" "It's very good." "Isn't that very busy?" "But I like this life. How does it taste? Is it delicious?" Li Chuanfang wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "It's delicious!" "We made the noodles ourselves. Did you want to buy jewelry just now?"

"Oh, I was just looking around. A friend bought a string of silver bracelets in the store. It's very beautiful." "Find something you like?" Li Chuanfang shook his head: "I don't look good in jewelry." The man was slightly embarrassed and asked, "Are you in college?" "I didn't get into college, and now I'm studying design in the Academy of Fine Arts. My grades have always been bad." "It's not bad to read design!" "teacher--" "Ok?" "Are you still alone?" The man smiled and took a sip of the Bellini.

She stared at him.I haven't seen him for three years, but he still has a determined look in his eyes, as if he has forgotten the passage of time. At that time, she was studying Form 4 in a night school.The teacher who taught mathematics resigned.That evening, the new teacher will come to class.Li Chuanfang was waiting in the classroom with other students. She didn't have much expectations. Her math scores had always been bad, and she wasn't liked by the math teacher. However, Du Yiwei changed this law.When he walked in with the textbook in his hand, it made her heart skip a beat.He is very young, like a fresh graduate from college.The tall man has a kissing mouth, and there is a kind of childish innocence in his determined eyes, which makes people want to kiss him very much.

She put her head in her hands, deeply attracted by him. The school is close to the mountain, and the evening seemed to be very long that day, with the afterglow of the setting sun still in the sky. "Today's sunset is beautiful." Du Yiwei said. Some students in the class said: "It's a pity that the setting sun will disappear soon." "We can create our own sunset." Du Yiwei said. Then he asked, "Do you know how to make it?" The students in the class are shaking their heads. "Go back and think about it, I'll tell you the answer tomorrow." Du Yiwei said mysteriously.

own sunset?Li Chuanfang never thought about it.At night, she drew a sunset on a piece of drawing paper, then smiled, it can't be that simple, can it? During class the next day, Du Yiwei asked: "Have you thought about it?" There was silence in the classroom. Du Yiwei walked among the students and took out a light bulb, an electrical socket, a cup, a bottle of water and a box of milk from his bag. The light bulb turned on and turned on. Du Yiwei poured water into the cup and added a few drops of milk to the water. The students surrounded him.At this time, Du Yiwei looked at the light bulb through the cup.The light bulb seen from the cup turned out to be orange-red, like a sunset that dyed the sky red.The students around him booed and rushed to get a cup to watch the sunset.

It was Li Chuanfang's turn.After watching the wonderful sunset, she secretly stared at Du Yiwei through the glass, imagining the infinite possibilities between her and this man who can create the sunset. Because of him, from now on, the setting sun has another meaning.Every day after sunset, the day begins, and she can spend a short and pleasant time with him in the classroom. In order to prolong this time, Li Chuanfang will deliberately stay after class to ask homework.In the huge classroom, there are often only the two of them, and their bodies are very close.For the first time in her life, she felt the need for a scent of her own, a scent that would evoke love. She never wears perfume.That day, she bought a bottle of Nina Ricci's L'Airdu Temps in a department store.The faint fragrance of rose and gardenia is paired with a frosted glass bottle. The mouth of the bottle is a pair of pigeons flying together, which is as beautiful as a work of art. In that evening, the perfume fell like rain, dripping on her naked body.The fragrance lingered on the air and on her skin, exuding a long breath.For the first time, she felt that she had grown up and had the scent of a woman. There were only her and Du Yiwei in the classroom, and her body was very close to him.He seemed indifferent to the smell on her body.She purposely picked up an exercise book and fanned it, and the fragrance wafted into his nostrils with the wind. Even she herself was a little bit drunk, but he still taught her to do the exercises gently, puzzled. "Teacher, what do you do during the day?" she asked. "I work for an advertising agency." "Why did you come to teach at night school?" "Maybe just to get a taste of life. What about you? Where do you work during the day?" "I don't have a job. Teacher, why don't you give me a business card, and I can go to the advertising company to find you for lunch." "You should use the day to do more exercises." He put a stack of exercises in front of her and said solemnly. She rested her head on her hands in disappointment, looked at his straight nose, and wanted to poke it with her fingers to see if it was broken. "Teacher, how did you make that sunset?" she asked. "Some things are not fun to put it bluntly." Du Yiwei said. "Teacher, do you have a girlfriend?" She asked suddenly. He smiled and said nothing. Her face flushed, she didn't expect to ask so directly.What exactly is this perfume?What was aroused was only his own desire. Then one day, when school was over, she saw Du Yiwei's back outside the school, and when she was about to go up to call him, she suddenly heard a clanging sound, a girl with long hair was standing across the street, Waving to Du Yiwei, there was the sound of the strings of silver bracelets in her hands colliding with each other.There are many ornaments on her body, including necklaces, earrings, and several rings.Du Yiwei ran over, and the girl's hand passed through his arms kissingly. Li Chuanfang quietly followed behind them. The woman's laughter was very loud, and the accessories on her body were noisy, so she couldn't hear what they were saying. She followed them to a jewelry store in an alley.Standing across the street, through the floor-to-ceiling glass, she saw the woman pick out a pair of earrings and put them on her earlobe, smiling at Du Yiwei, as if asking for his opinion.Du Yiwei gently rubbed her earlobe with his hands, looking very sweet. She quietly left the alley.That night, holding the math exercises Du Yiwei gave her, she curled up under the blanket and wept.His breath remained in the exercise book, a sad breath.What's so good about that woman?There are so many jewelry hanging on the body, it is very tacky.She hated Du Yiwei's taste. Since then, she did not stay to ask homework.After class, she is always the first to leave the classroom. One day, in the corridor of the school, Du Yiwei asked her with concern: "Are you fine?" She smiled easily, but actually wanted to cry. She thought, he still cares about me, right? One night, Du Yiwei was very late.When he came into the classroom, he looked haggard and listless. After school, she followed him. "teacher--" "What's the matter?" He turned around, his eyes a little dazed. "Let's go together." She silently walked beside him. They walked through a small park where the crickets were chirping, and she smelled despondency in him. "Didn't your girlfriend come to wait for you from school today?" she asked, and then said, "I saw her waiting for you outside the school earlier." "She's gone." A tremor of sadness. "why?" He gasped and didn't answer. "Aren't you going to get her back?" "She's gone a long way." "What are the chances she'll come back?" Du Yiwei smiled sadly: "It's impossible to calculate." "You are a math teacher." "If there is a negative probability, maybe it is a negative probability." He said sadly, "Or, when you grow up, you can tell me what women want." She said unwillingly: "I have grown up, not as childish as you think." "Really? I'm sorry." He bit his lip and said. She stood on tiptoe, and her lips were printed on both of his lips. He looked at her in surprise. "Teacher, I like you." A trembling voice. With tears in his eyes, he hugged her tightly.She closed her eyes and sniffed the long-awaited breath. He began not to shave or trim his hair, and his determined eyes became confused.She thought her love would restore him, but unfortunately, her presence could only make him indifferent. That night, she asked him to meet on the street.She was adorned with jewellery: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and anklets. She walked behind Du Yiwei and patted him on the shoulder lightly.He turned around and looked at her in surprise. She stood there, smiling shyly. "Why are you dressed like this?" he asked angrily. She didn't expect him to be like this, so she whispered: "Isn't it pretty?" "Who told you to wear so many jewelry?" His tone was like interrogating a prisoner. "I...I..." She stammered and couldn't speak. "You're ugly!" he said mercilessly. She was so ashamed that her eyes were red. Du Yiwei left angrily.She followed behind and asked: "where are you going?" "You go back." He said. "Don't you like this look?" she cried. He went down a long flight of stairs.She followed him desperately, and the jewelry on her body collided with each other, clanging. "She doesn't love you anymore, why don't you forget her?" She cried. He stood still under the stairs, turned around, and said sadly: "A lover is very humble." "I know that." Tears welled up in her eyes. "You go," he said. She touched an earring on her earlobe and asked sadly: "Do you think I look like a clown?" He shook his head: "You just have to be yourself." She was silent. He sighed and said, "You and I have a negative probability." She stood on the stairs, looking at his back on the dimly lit road. Since then, she no longer wears any jewelry. When I came to this jewelry store today, it seemed like the call of time.Dian Xu, she didn't want to buy jewelry, but just wanted to rediscover her old self.Unexpectedly, he reunited with the person he once loved in his youthful years. She sipped Bellini and asked Du Yiwei: "Does she know you're waiting for her?" "When she left, I never said I would wait for her." "You didn't tell me, how could she know?" "Some things are meaningless if they are said too clearly. Maybe one day, she will pass by outside by chance like you are today." Li Chuanfang suddenly understood: "So your restaurant is opposite her favorite jewelry store?" "Did the owner of the jewelry store say you're a Pisces?" he asked. "How did you know?" "Every customer who walks into the store, she will also say that he is a Pisces, and it used to be the same." "But I'm a Pisces." Du Yiwei smiled: "She will have a one-twelfth chance of being right every time." "Why didn't she say other constellations?" "Maybe, she has been waiting for a long time for a Pisces person to appear, maybe it's her old lover." Then, he told her: "This restaurant used to be a stationery store that also sold insect specimens." "Really? I didn't notice." "I liked collecting specimens very much when I was young," Du Yiwei said. She thought, now ask Du Yiwei how the sunset is made, and he will tell her.However, some things are boring to put it bluntly.The setting sun that day might as well be regarded as a kind of magic.She also doesn't know how it came out. When leaving the restaurant, Li Chuanfang suddenly remembered that day three years ago, she bought a lot of jewelry in the jewelry store and happily imitated others, thinking that this would lead to love.When she walked across the road, the backpack in her hand fell to the ground.When she hurriedly bent over to pick up her backpack, she caught a glimpse of a stationery store on the side of the road, with colorful butterfly specimens on the cabinet and window. A lot has changed in three years, what hasn't is the fact that she sprinkled Nina Ricci's L'Airdu Temps on her body today.She decided to use only one perfume in her life and turn it into her own trademark. In the afterglow of the last sunset, she walked on the road alone.After some years, the tears of the past have become precious memories in the youthful years, just like the eternal breath on her body and the setting sun in the light bulb.
