Stars Fall Into The Sea, Love Never Fades Chapter 56

Chapter 53: Fragments of time and space and echoes of various worlds

The wind of boundless time and space, carrying the breath of different eras, passed by the ears of Azhi and Qi.

They sat on the eternal seaside, watching the light and shadow flowing in front of them – they were fragments of their memories from life to life, spreading out under the starry sky like a revolving lantern.

In the city of Peiping in the Republic of China, two figures hugging each other on a snowy night, the copper star pendant is slightly hot in the cold wind; under the camphor tree on the modern campus, the teenagers look at each other like an electric shock when they first meet, and the moment the brush rolls down, the fragrance of pinewood quietly fills the air; in the studio of the small seaside town, the two gray-haired people hold hands, and the sun shines through the glass window, in the albumIt casts mottled light and shadow; there are also more distant times – on the streets of Chang’an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, painters and architects passed each other at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, and an inexplicable familiarity flashed in their eyes; in the Jiangnan water town of the Southern Song Dynasty, the scholars in the academy and the painters on the painting boat admired the bright moon together and wrote the same poem: “Stars fall on the sea, love will never break up.”

“Look,” Qi pointed at the scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the light and shadow, his eyes sparkling, “At that time, although we did not stay together for life, we left each other’s mark in our hearts.”

Ah Zhi held his hand tightly, and the moment the fingertips touched, those scattered memory fragments seemed to gain warmth.”Yes,” he said softly, “No matter what era we are in, no matter what identity we meet, our souls will always be attracted to each other.”

Light and shadow flowed to the battlefield of the Republic of China. Shen Zhi stood on the city wall with a cane. Lin Qi’s paintings were flying in the gunfire, and the star patterns were still bright in the smoke.Ah Zhi’s eyes were slightly red: “In that life, we experienced too much suffering, but it also made love stronger.”

Qi leaned on his shoulder and said in a gentle voice: “It is those sufferings that make us cherish the encounters in every life more. You see, in the peaceful era, we are guarding the studio and the sea. How happy we are.”

In unbounded time and space, there is no sequence of time, only the eternal present.They looked at themselves in each life, staying together for a lifetime, passing by each other, or going through life and death, but they always held on to the bond engraved in their souls.The regrets and pains of the past have now turned into gentle echoes and become footnotes to each other’s eternal stay.

“No matter how many lives I go through,” Ah Zhi looked into Qi’s eyes with a firm voice, “I will find you, fall in love with you, and protect you.”

Qi smiled, and the stars in his eyes were brighter than ever: “Me too. Ah Zhi, life after life, we will never be separated.”
