Chapter 42: Everyone is not ordinary.

  Soft music, swaying silhouettes, amid the ebb and flow of the tides, a ray of dawn lit up the sea level, and the rising sun with a warm bright yellow light dyed the morning glow and the sea a blush, and the bright sky hung in the sky. The moon gradually disappeared.

  The camera slowly moved down the lighthouse. On the grass in front of the lighthouse, facing the rising sun, Johnny and Riva stood face to face. In front of them, an old priest in a black robe said solemnly: " Whether she is rich or poor in the future, healthy or unwell in the future, are you willing to be with her forever?"

  Witnessed by many relatives and friends behind, Johnny said, "I do."

  The old priest asked Riva the same question again, and Riva blinked and replied, "Yes."

  The old pastor made the final decision: "Through the rights I have been given, I now declare you husband and wife."

  Dr. Watts grumbled, "Ah, weddings. I'm not good at this, and fluids escape my eyes easily."

  Memory jumps.

  On a meadow, Johnny and Riva were riding horses. Riva's horse doesn't seem to be very obedient, giving Johnny a false alarm.

  In a clinic, Riva has just received a diagnosis certificate. Doctor: "Unfortunately, if this disease was discovered as a child, it would be much easier to treat it."

  He asked a few more questions: "Has something unpleasant happened between you two?"

  Riva replied naturally, "No."

  Johnny hesitated for a moment: "...No."

  The memory jumped. This time it was a screening hall. The young Johnny was sitting on a chair alone, surrounded by blurred figures.

  Dr. Watts seemed to have discovered a new world: "Look! My God, this kid is sitting there alone watching a movie, a loser in love!"

  Dr. Rosalind: "You don't always watch movies alone..."

  Dr. Watts: "...not to be confused, that's because no one can match my taste."

  The young Johnny seemed to have an appointment with someone. He looked left and right, but found no one he wanted to see. He closed his eyes for a long time, as if he was sighing. Then he left his seat and walked straight out of the auditorium.

  The two doctors followed and walked out to find Johnny cradling his legs, eyes closed, and squatting in the corner of the wall.

  At the other end of the auditorium, a young girl walked out, it was Riva.

  Johnny jumped up in surprise: "Riva? Have you been there?? I was waiting for you in the hall before, and I thought you weren't coming!"

  Riva asked suspiciously, "Why did you come out halfway through? We should watch a movie together."

  "Um?"

  "We are obviously going to a movie together, you came out first."

  Johnny got a little emotional: "We didn't watch together at all! I don't even know where you're sitting? If you're inside, why don't you come to me?"

  A question mark appeared over Riva's head: "Does it matter? We're in the same space, watching the same movie."

  Although Lin Fan felt that Liva's reaction was a little cute, but also a little uncomfortable: "It's definitely a tiring thing to get along with a girl like this."

  If the previous plot only revealed Riva's strange behavior, now it is showing her thinking differently from ordinary people.

  At the end of the flashback, Johnny and Riva returned to the screening room, and this time they sat together.

  The memory jumped. This time, the scene seemed to be in the corridor of a certain middle school. Riva was sitting on the stairs at the corner, reading a red-covered encyclopedia, with a black platypus doll beside her.

  At the end of the corridor is Johnny and his buddy. Johnny wanted to confess to Riva, but he hesitated, repeatedly looking for various reasons not to come forward. Friend kept encouraging and encouraging him to go boldly: " Just keep your back straight and don't act like a coward!"

  Dr. Watts is even more anxious than the base friend: "That's it! Scolding. De. Good!"

  finally,

Jiyou really couldn't see it, so he pushed Johnny in front of Riva and ran away in a hurry.

  "Cough, cough." With Riva in front of him, Johnny summoned his courage and greeted boldly, "Hello."

  Although Riva didn't put the book down, she could see that her eyes rolled.

  Johnny: "Uh... hello? Can you hear me?"

  Riva replied briefly, "Yes."

  Johnny began to chat awkwardly: "Oh...that platypus looks really cool."

  Riva put the book down, glanced at Johnny, then at the platypus doll, and picked up the book again.

  "What are you reading?"

  "a book."

  "...about the platypus?"

  "Do not."

  "Oh...I, um, I think that's fine too."

  Dr. Watts covered his face with his hands with a snap, with an expression of "no eyes", Lin Fan couldn't help laughing, this conversation was too funny.

  "Hey, are you willing to go..." Just as Johnny hesitated and was about to make an invitation, Riva suddenly spoke up and interrupted, "The Lighthouse."

  She said seriously: "There are exactly twelve Fresnel lens lighthouses in this country, nine of which are located along the coast, and one is converted from an old kerosene lighthouse."

  Lin Fan thought: "It turns out that Riva's love for lighthouses already exists at this time. Ordinary high school students won't be interested in this, right? Even if Riva's thinking is different from ordinary people, there must be a reason to like it, right?"

  "..." popped out of Johnny's head, complimented Riva dryly, then glanced out the window crampedly and offered an invitation to watch a movie.

  Riva put down the book and blinked. long silence. She picked up the book again: "I don't know."

  Johnny took two steps back: "It's okay, I can wait for you to think about it."

  Riva: "I can't go."

  A question mark appeared on Johnny's head, and some did not understand what she meant: "...why?"

  "Because you didn't say the exact time."

  I thought there were many obstacles, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth, so I agreed to my invitation? Johnny seemed a little confused: "...Oh, um, how about eight o'clock this Saturday?"

  Riva glanced at Johnny and read the book again.

  Johnny: "… okay?"

  After a long period of silence, when Dr. Watts thought it was a system failure, Riva responded briefly: "Okay."

  "Oh, great!" Johnny jumped excitedly.

  This memory is quite long. The two doctors went around the school and collected a lot of information.

  When he saw the school's indoor gym, Dr. Watts had some ideas that he could do something with it later.

  In the case of Riva's class, the teacher was sure that she knew about a certain character's problem, and called her for a long time, but Riva still did not respond. Just when the teacher was about to ask another person, Riva spoke up. Not only did she say the person's name, but she also started to tell the story of this person's life in detail, as if there was an encyclopedia in her mind.

  And in the dining room, Johnny and his buddies discuss Riva's situation. Jiyou thinks she is weird, withdrawn, and always carries an ugly platypus. But Johnny thought it was cool: "She seemed to be from another planet."

  Jiyou persuaded him to find another girl to pursue, and Johnny said frankly: "I'm just... unwilling to be an ordinary person drowned in the crowd. And she happens to be able to satisfy my desire."

  Lin Fan pondered: "Is this where Johnny's sense of shame towards Riva in his memory came from? Because Johnny is very ordinary, he yearns for Riva's solitude and speciality, rather than really liking her. For Riva, These extraordinary features are cruel, and she can only be forced to accept her own extraordinary."

  Jiyou was silent for a long time: "I just want you to know what you are doing. In fact, everyone is not ordinary, everyone is special."

  Dr. Watts watched the conversation by the side and expressed his opinion: "He is really annoying."

  Dr. Rosalind: "...you know, sometimes I really want to slap certain clients."
