Once, there was a mute little boy.
His neighbor is a beautiful girl, and if you want to describe her beauty and tenderness, then maybe she's an angel with hidden wings!
The boy can't help but fall in love with the girl, but he also understands that he is just mute. To him, the girl is like a portrait of Venus, unattainable.
Neither the girls nor the boys come from wealthy families, and they are both serious about their studies, hoping to one day get ahead. Boys are typically one grade level older than girls.
In the first year, the boy was admitted to university and left town. Before leaving, the girl said, "Wait for me, I will come to you." The boy nodded and stepped onto the train, leaving home.
The following year, the girl received an acceptance letter.
Standing at the gate of the university, the girl's beauty had aroused the envy of countless boys and girls.
She was looking for someone. She searched every department, but she couldn't find the boy.
The teacher said, "Last year, the boy did not come to report..."
The girl cried, crying so sadly. The tears that fell to the ground shattered along with her expectations for the year.
The girl is still strong. She believes that the boy must be working somewhere, so she will not give up.
Girls could not afford to pay the full amount of tuition, and although the school had reduced part of the tuition fees, they were still a big problem for girls.
One day in the middle of the semester, the girl received a letter from home in which her parents told her that a relative was willing to sponsor her to finish college. The girl smiled, and this was the first time she had laughed happily since starting college.
Every day, there are many excellent boys around the girl, but the girl's heart is only for her dumb brother.
The holiday was over, and the girl returned home. Any news about the boy? The girl asked the boy's parents. No, "We were also worried," the boy's parents mouthed, but their expressions were unusually calm.
Can I visit and thank that relative? The girl asked her parents. He said no, and he lived far away - a distant relative. The girl's parents said this, but for some reason, their expressions were nervous.
Finally, the smart girl understood that the boy had not disappeared. But she didn't say anything. She buried this joy in her heart. She had to study seriously, and when she graduated from college, she would go find a boy...
Four years passed in a flash, and the girl received a diploma and an employment contract with an internationally renowned company.
She couldn't wait to return home, and the boy's parents finally gave in to the girl's resolute attitude and said, "Go to the boy's house."
Corrosive acid gas, scorching steam, and a workshop where you can't see from three meters away...
The girl stood in the doorway of the workshop, looking at the boy's now crooked figure.
The girl's tears flowed again, and the boy, attracted by the whimpering cry, glanced over here. Suddenly, like an electric shock, the boy disappeared into the hot steam mist. The girl also rushed in, but neither was this it, nor was that, and every figure shattered the girl's hopes.
Finally, in the innermost workshop, the girl found the familiar but unfamiliar figure.
"I'm going to marry you," the girl said, smiling like a peach blossom, even though she was choked with tears - something she had been practicing for four years.
Then, she looked at the boy, waiting for his answer.
The boy looked at her and suddenly ran away again, disappearing into the steam and vanishing from her life once more.
The sad girl locked herself in her room and cried for three days. Then, she packed her bag. After all, although the loved one is gone, life goes on...
The girl knew from his parents that the boy had also come to the city, and she smiled again because she knew that the boy was silently guarding her.
Several times, she seemed to see the boy's figure, but when she chased after him, the figure had already disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Until one day...
The girl was admitted to the hospital.
The boy suddenly appeared in front of him with a thick bandage wrapped around his neck. What's wrong? The girl asked anxiously.
He accidentally got strangled by a steel wire around his neck while working, and it is already a blessing that he did not die. His co-worker said.
The boy also looked at her anxiously, eager to know why she had come to the hospital.
I... The girl said slowly, "I have a tumor on my vocal cord, and if I have surgery, perhaps I will lose my voice." The girl said this, but there was joy in her eyes.
From that day on, the boy returned to the girl's side and took care of her in every way. "Until just before the operation, the girl looked at the boy and said, 'Maybe this is the last thing I'll say to you.'"
I want to marry you. "I'm not pitying you. It's because I love you!" These last three words, she did not make a sound, just silently read them with her lips.
The boy cried, and then watched as she was pushed into the operating room.
When the light went out, the surgeon came out and said to the boy, "The operation was successful, but she could no longer speak."
Then the boy saw the girl's happy eyes. Now, she was just like him.
She struggled to sign the only phrase she had just learned in sign language: "I love you!" The boy also trembled and made the same gesture.
They got married in an ordinary and simple wedding.
After marriage, everything is so peaceful and happy.
There is no sound in their world, but there is also laughter.
However, God once again tricked the pair of bitter Mandarin ducks, and the happy life lasted only four years.
The boy had advanced malignant cancer.
The girl did not cry this time. She knew that the boy wanted her to live strongly.
……
The boy closed his eyes peacefully, and the smile on his mouth indicated that he was not in pain.
The girl finally couldn't help it, holding the boy's gradually cold hand, and her cry changed from whimpering to a sad voice that resounded through the hospital.
The girl's friends comforted her.
She gently stroked the boy's photo, and finally, she murmured:
Why, after finally walking together, did you go alone first? Can you bear to leave me alone in this world?
Is it just because I deceived you that you are going to leave me...?
Decades later, one morning, she stood in front of the boy's curtain and put on his favorite lilies.
Suddenly, she found a letter on the tombstone...
Trembling, she opened the envelope, which was written by one of his old co-workers.
...... After so many years, perhaps there is no need to hide from you anymore.
That time, you saw him in the hospital with a bandage around his neck, but it was not a work injury. A famous surgeon performed vocal cord reconstruction surgery on him using artificial vocal cords, and he was able to speak very early. But knowing that you were about to lose the ability to speak, he hid this joy in his heart. For your sake, he is willing to continue to be a dummy...
I thought that when he was gone, he would no longer shed tears, but decades later, he tasted the salty taste of tears again.
Trust and honesty are the foundation of love.
But sometimes, the love expressed by white lies cannot be conveyed by words...
