续集 (The Sequel)

Xu Ji

多数的眼泪往往是浪费 所以我很少后悔 不让往事变成负累
duō shù de yǎn lèi wǎng wǎng shì làng fèi suǒ yǐ wǒ hěn shǎo hòu huǐ bù ràng wǎng shì biàn chéng fù lèi
Most tears are often a waste, so I rarely regret and do not let the past become a burden.
人与人间也有季节缘尽像落叶 擦身而过 点头祝福 是甜美的句点
rén yǔ rén jiān yě yǒu jì jié yuán jǐn xiàng luò yè cā shēn ér guò diǎn tóu zhù fú shì tián měi de jù diǎn
Between people, there are seasonal connections, just like falling leaves that drift by; a nod and a blessing is a sweet conclusion.
跟暗藏不快乐的说再会 时间啊 那么珍贵 宁愿面对谢绝迂回
gēn àn cáng bù kuài lè de shuō zài huì shí jiān a nà me zhēn guì nìng yuàn miàn duì xiè jué yū huí
Saying goodbye to unhappiness is precious time; I'd rather face it than refuse to go around.
因为我曾感受你最温柔那一面 所以不会只记住你 像刺猬的语言
yīn wèi wǒ céng gǎn shòu nǐ zuì wēn róu nà yí miàn suǒ yǐ bú huì zhǐ jì zhù nǐ xiàng cì wèi de yǔ yán
Because I have felt your gentlest side, I won't only remember you like the language of a hedgehog.

Being carefree is also a kind of courage; treating unexpected events as interludes means I can’t lack love, but I cannot lose myself.

Being carefree is also a kind of inebriation; I forget the bitterness when I wake up, and how can romance come without illusions?
错付了 就承认 就死心 也承受得起 我写着我自己的续集
cuò fù le jiù chéng rèn jiù sǐ xīn yě chéng shòu dé qǐ wǒ xiě zhe wǒ zì jǐ de xù jí
If I’ve made a mistake, I admit it; I can let go and bear it; I am writing my own sequel.
敢说真话会受点罪 总怕做决定才可悲 几岁都可以是玫瑰

Only trust in pure gazes, I cannot hear the dazzling nonsense.
