ROMANCE OF MT WUDANG
Chapter II Unfinished emotions on the road to learning（II）
At almost 10 o'clock, Lu Yuexia rode her bike to the downstairs where Xu Bing and Ye Wei were chatting, despite being soaked. No matter how Lu Yuexia called, Ye Wei refused to come down and meet. At that moment, Lu Yuexia finally realized Ye Wei's stubbornness. Ye Wei's personality is not different from when he was a child, Lu Yuexia thought to herself. If it weren't for her fellow villagers, she wouldn't be like this. As the dormitory was about to close and turn off the lights, Lu Yuexia shouted downstairs without hesitation, "Ye Wei, Ye Wei!" Just as Lu Yuexia wanted to leave, Ye Wei finally came down.
Through the iron gate of Ye Wei's dormitory, watching his stubborn expression, Lu Yuexia couldn't say anything: Ye Wei is just such a childish, willful and self-centered person.
On September 12th, Lu Yuexia’s brother, who was studying at Yuncheng Teachers College, came to see her. Lu Yuexia enthusiastically invited Ye Wei to have dinner together and then went to Bondi. Her brother and Ye Wei were high school classmates. During dinner, they talked about some of their past classmates and had a great conversation. When disco dancing after dinner, Ye Wei showed unprecedented excitement. With a dark green top, black hair, and a red face, Ye Wei looked strangely beautiful under the flickering lights. Throughout the night, Ye Wei displayed his passionate and proud dance moves in the ballroom, and her brother watched Ye Wei with great interest.
On the way back, Ye Wei remained silent. Lu Yuexia felt that Ye Wei was exceptionally graceful, like the most beautiful moment of blooming flowers.
Lu Yuexia sent Ye Wei back to the dormitory and then took her brother to the guesthouse. On the way, Lu Yuexia's brother asked if she really liked Ye Wei. Lu Yuexia asked her brother what he thought of Ye Wei, instead.
Her brother thought for a moment and said, "You should keep a distance from Ye Wei.
Lu Yuexia asked, "Why?"
Her brother said, "Ye Wei is used to living in his own world, only suitable for appreciation, absolutely not for love. "
Lu Yuexia remained silent. Her brother sighed and didn't advise anymore.
Lu Yuexia has become accustomed to Ye Wei sometimes falling in love with someone at first sight, only to discover that she has only fallen in love with a shadow she has created herself. When seeing off her brother, Lu Yuexia couldn't help but regret the fanatical expression in Ye Wei's eyes, regardless of everything.
Mr Xia has been away for another five years and cannot meet in person because during his inspection in France, he met the chairman of a listed company's board of directors, which runs a staff hospital and wants Mr Xia to be the director of the hospital (hired for five years first).
After hearing this news, Mr Xia pondered repeatedly in his heart and decided to tell Lu Yuexia over the phone. Mr Xia said to Lu Yuexia, "For the sake of our future happiness, we will not consider the issue of love for now. I hope you will study hard and prepare for your future career. "
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuexia burst into tears... ...
Approaching the start of school, Lu Yuexia pondered returning home to face her mother's gradually haggard appearance, feeling ashamed in her heart. For about a week, Lu Yuexia spent her time longing for Mr Xia and feeling guilty for her mother. Lu Yuexia proposed to her mother to go out and work, and with her brother's persuasion, her mother finally agreed because if she continued to study, the family would have to pay for tuition fees again. Lu Yuexia knew that the family's financial situation was no longer sufficient to support her in attending medical university.
On October 28, 1999, Lu Yuexia boarded a train bound for Guangdong with simple luggage on her back. Lu Yuexia cut off all contact with anyone except her family, worked as a clerk, promoted sales, and also worked part-time in some companies... ... Ye Wei's shadow gradually faded, and he became a silhouette frozen in Lu Yuexia's memory.
It's winter now.
Lu Yuexia walked on the street, wrapping herself in the dim yellow streetlights. The pale and unfamiliar figure walked closer and farther away. Passing by are countless unknown fates and the loneliness of being hollowed out of one's own heart.
Where will this long road lead Lu Yuexia in the sea of people?
Lu Yuexia was confused.
Footsteps cannot be stopped, so perhaps anything that comes towards us cannot escape the fate of being missed.
Sometimes we feel ridiculous about our stubbornness, even though we’re afraid of the cold and enjoy winter instead. Perhaps only in the coldest season, people are most likely to feel warmth. And Lu Yuexia always yearns for this warm feeling subconsciously.
Lu Yuexia likes to wear a long coat and wrap herself in a thick scarf during this season, and the moisture she breathes can still be seen in the air.
Thus, Lu Yuexia walked alone through unknown streets.
The night has come and gone, gone and come again. The once warm heart quietly cooled down and shattered into countless pieces. Broken so thoroughly that Lu Yuexia didn't even have the courage to make up for it.
Lu Yuexia has long heard that love is the least eternal thing in this world. People who love each other always hope to be an exception. One day, when they woke up from their dream, they realized that no one could escape this fate. Perhaps life is like this helplessness!
Lu Yuexia has nothing else to ask for, she just hopes she can forget, so that the pain will heal faster.
Yes, besides forgetting, what else can Lu Yuexia do?
How to prevent yourself from shedding tears when cutting onions? Just turn your back. Not looking at things that make you cry is the only way to prevent yourself from shedding tears.
However, it seems that Lu Yuexia cannot even escape.
Living in the same space is destined to breathe the same air. Pretending to stare seems to only remind Lu Yuexia to remember her past trauma more deeply.
On the night of the turn of the century, Lu Yuexia looked at the beautiful fireworks and bustling crowds in the southern sky, and couldn't help but think of Ye Wei, along with the most irrational and persistent years of her life.
There are traces of birds flying in the sky, which are the trajectory of Lu Yuexia towards maturity
At this moment, wind and rain have passed, everything is so peaceful and beautiful again, and the green grassland in the distance is particularly that moving.

武当山之恋（英汉对照）▪第二章（下）
第二章 求学路上情未了
快10 点时 ，陆月 霞不 顾身 上 已被 淋湿 骑车 赶往 许冰 和 叶伟 聊天的楼下 ，无论陆月霞怎么打电话叶伟都不肯下来见面 。 那一刻，陆月霞总算体会到了叶伟的任性 。 叶伟的性格与小时候 相比没有两样 ，陆月霞心想 ，要不是看在老乡的面上 ，说天也不会这样的 。 眼看宿舍马上就要关门熄灯了 ，陆月霞不顾一切 在楼下喊道 ：“ 叶伟 、叶伟 ！”就在陆月霞想要离开时 ，叶伟终于下来了。
隔着叶伟宿舍的铁栅门，看着叶伟倔犟的表情 ，陆月霞什 么 话 也 讲 不 出 来 ：叶 伟 就 是 这 样 的 孩 子 气 ，任 性 而 又 以 自 我 为 中心 。
9 月12 日 ，在郧 城师 专读 书 的 哥哥 来看 陆 月 霞，陆 月 霞 兴 致高昂地邀叶伟一起吃饭然后去蹦迪 。 哥哥和叶伟是高中同 学 ，吃饭时 ，他们说起了同学时的一些往事 ，谈得很投机 。 饭后蹦迪时，叶伟表现出前所未有的兴奋 。 深绿的上衣 ，漆黑的头发 、红红的面庞 ，此时的叶伟在闪烁不定的灯光下看起来有 种诡异的美 。整个晚上 ，叶伟以沉溺而骄傲的舞姿展示在舞 厅 ，哥哥一直饶有兴致地看着叶伟 。
回来的路上 ，叶伟一言不发。陆月霞感觉叶伟异常潇洒 ，犹如花开最美的瞬间 。
陆月霞把叶伟送回寝室后又送哥哥去招待所。路上 ，陆月 霞的哥哥问是不是很喜欢叶伟 。陆月霞反问哥哥觉得叶伟怎 么样？
哥哥想了一会儿说 ：“ 你对叶伟应该保持距离 。”
陆月霞 问 ：“ 为什 么？ℽ
哥哥说 ：“叶伟 习惯于 生活 在自 己的世 界里 ，只适合欣赏 ， 绝对不能去爱。”
陆月霞沉默不语。哥哥 叹了 口气 ，没有再劝。
陆月霞已经习惯了叶伟有时会突然对一个人一见钟情，然 后发现 只是爱上 了一个 自 己塑造 的影子 。送哥哥走 的 时候 ，看着叶伟眼中不顾一切的狂热神色 ，陆月霞后悔莫及 。
夏先生这一走又五年不能见面，因为夏先生在法国考察时 遇到了一位上市公司董事局主席 ，这家公司里办一所职工医 院 ，要夏先生做这所医 院 的 院长（先聘五年）。
夏先生听到这个消息后 ，在心中反复思量 ，然后决定在电 话里告诉陆月霞 。夏先生对陆月霞说 ：“ 为了我们今后的幸福，爱情问题暂不作考虑 ，我希望你努力学习 ，为以后的事业作好准备。”
陆月霞听到这话 眼泪夺 眶而出 ……
临近开学，陆月霞思量着回家面对母亲逐渐憔悴的样子 ，心中充满了惭愧 。 差不多一个星期的时间 ，陆月霞就在对夏先 生的思念和母亲的愧疚中度过 。 陆月霞向母亲提出外出打工 的要求 ，在哥哥的劝说下 ，母亲终于答应了 ，因为如果接着读书的话，家里又要一笔学费支出 ，陆月霞知道家里的经济状况已 经 无 法 再 供 自 己 上 医 科 大 学 了 。
1999 年 10 月 28 日 ，陆 月 霞 背着 简 单 的 行 李 踏 上 了 开 往 广 东的列车 。 陆月霞切断了和家人以外的所有人的联系 ，做过文员，跑 过 推 销 ，也 到 过 一 些 公 司 里 做 兼 职 …… 叶 伟 的 影 子 渐 渐 变淡 ，叶伟成为一张剪影定格在陆月霞的记忆中 。
冬天了。
陆月 霞走 在大 街上 ，把自 己 包裹 在 昏 黄 的街 灯里 。 苍 白 而 陌生的人影 ，走近了又远去 。 擦身而过的是无数个未知的缘分以 及自 己 的 内 心 被 掏 空 后 的 落 寞 。
人 海 中 ，这 条 长 路 会 把 陆 月 霞 带 向 哪里 呢 ？
陆月霞惶惑。
脚步是无法停留的，所以 ，大概凡是迎面而来的，总也逃不 过错过的命运 。
有时候觉得自己固执得可笑，明明害怕寒冷却喜欢冬季 。 或许只有在最冷的季节里 ，人才最容易感受到温暖 。 而陆月霞 总是在潜意识里渴望这种温暖的感觉 。
陆月霞喜欢在这样的季节穿一件长长的大衣，裹上厚厚的 围 巾 ，空 气 里 还 看 得 见 自 己 呼 吸 的 水 气 。
就这 样，陆 月霞 独自 穿过 一条 条不 知名 的 街道 。
黑夜来了又过去了 ，去了又来了 。曾经还是温热的一颗心 悄然地冷却了 ，碎成了无数片 。 碎得那么的彻底 ，彻底得让陆月霞连弥补的勇气都没有 。
陆月霞早就听人说 ，爱情是这个世界上最不永恒的东西 。 只 是 相 爱 的 人 总 奢 望 自 己 会 是 一 个 例 外 。 有 一 天 ，梦 醒 了 才 知 道 ，原来谁都逃脱不了这个命运 。 大概生活就是这样的无 奈吧 ！
陆月霞已经别无所求 ，只是希望自己可以遗忘 ，这样伤疼 会好得快一点 。
是的 ，除了忘记 ，陆月霞还能做什么呢 ？
“ 切洋葱的时候要如何让自己不流泪呢 ？ 背过身去就好 了 。”不 去 看 那 些 会 让 你 流 泪 的 事 物 ，是 唯 一 不 让 自 己 流 泪 的 方法 。
然而 ，陆月霞似乎连逃避都不能够 。
生活在同一个空间注定要呼吸一样的空气 。 假装凝视似 乎 只 会 提 醒 陆 月 霞 自 己 更 深 刻 地 记 得 曾 经 的 创 伤 。
世纪之交的夜晚 ，陆月霞看着南方天空中美丽的烟花和熙 熙攘攘的人群，又止不住地想起叶伟 ，连同生命中最不理智最 为执著的岁月 。
天 空 有 鸟 飞 过 的 痕 迹 ，那 是 陆 月 霞 走 向 成 熟 的 轨 迹 … …
此时 ，风雨已去 ，一切又是那么地宁静和美丽 ，远处的那片 绿草地也绿得格外地动人 。
