Bamboo Horse Pianist III

Chapter 18 The most beautiful scenery in the world
No matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side, watching the fish, the ocean, and all the scenery in the world.

Part1
In the following days, as the newlywed Mrs. Mu, Chumo was not as sticky with her husband as others imagined. Seriously speaking, apart from the crookedness on the day of receiving the certificate, Fleeting Nian left early and returned late every day. Endless meetings, endless contracts.

In comparison, the beginning and the end seem to be much more leisurely.

Although she became famous overnight in the MOQueen Concert Hall and was invited to perform continuously, she was declined by CM.

The entire CM is Fleeting Years, and the CM rejects it, which means that Fleeting Years are operating behind the scenes.

In the company, a colleague who had a good time with Chumo couldn't help but ask: "Chumo, Mr. Mu doesn't want to hide your beauty in a golden house, does he? Hide you so that no one can see you."

A female colleague in the company who admires fleeting time immediately acted like a nympho: "Ah... just thinking about it, it's so romantic and domineering... I didn't expect Mr. Mu to have such a strong desire to control!"

"..."

Chu Mo didn't think too much about her colleagues' guesses, she understood the busyness of fleeting years, and she didn't complain at all.As for her career, she believed that Fleeting Nian must have his reasons for doing so. As long as she waited patiently, Fleeting Nian would definitely give her an answer.

Of course, when Fleeting Nian was busy, she was not idle at the beginning and end of the year. She practiced the piano in the piano room every day, from morning to night, and did not go home alone until the whole city quieted down at night.

On this day, after she finished practicing the piano as usual, she packed up her things, and when she walked out of CM, there was a heavy snowfall in the sky.

She looked up at the night sky, and the dense snow fell, like soft cotton candy.

She stood where she was, stretched out her hand, and watched the snowflakes float in the palm of her hand, then melted, and a smile couldn't help but rise from the corner of her mouth.

When she was about to step into the heavy snow, a car parked in the darkness not far away, a man in a black coat got out of the car, held an umbrella, and walked towards her step by step. In the vast expanse of white snow, he has a straight body, steady and firm steps, as if he knew the way he was going to go from the beginning, and he has never been confused.

He walked up to her and used an umbrella to cover the snowflakes falling on her body. He was still so handsome that people couldn't take his eyes off him. Under the jet-black hair, his eyes were full of love, and his thin lips were slightly upturned. , said to her in a delicate and gentle voice: "Mo Bao, happy birthday."

"Ah...today is my birthday..." Chumo murmured, "I forgot." She reacted slowly and hugged the person in front of her, her whole body shrunk into his warm body In the coat, he closed his eyes and smelled the faint fragrance of his body, feeling extremely at ease.

"What's wrong?" Liu Nian asked puzzled about her actions.

"I just want to hug you..." Chumo raised her head, "Also, Mr. Mu, your wife is acting like a baby."

"Then, Mrs. Mu." Liu Nian smiled softly, Chu Mo only felt that the whole world was lit up.

Then she heard him say, "Come on, let's go to the airport now."

"What are you doing at the airport?" She got out of his arms with some reluctance, and she looked at his pretty face in surprise.

"Promised to give you a honeymoon trip."

"Ah..." Chu Mo understood in an instant, "So you are so busy these days... and you helped me cancel all the performances, is it because you secretly prepared the honeymoon trip?"

"It's not secretly." Liu Nian corrected, "It's aboveboard, Mrs. Mu."

Chumo blushed because of the word "Mrs. Mu", and hurriedly pulled him forward: "Let's go! Let's go to our honeymoon!"

After getting in the car, Liu Nian turned on the heater.

Along the way, Chu and Mo sat in the passenger seat and stared at him unblinkingly. Mr. Mu, who had always been calm, couldn't bear such naked eyes. At the red light, he turned to look at her: "Yes So pretty?"

"Yes." A certain person did not hide the surging thoughts in his heart, his eyes were full of affection, "You go out early and come back late these days, I haven't met you for a whole week."

It's funny to say that both of them are married and living together, yet they can't see each other for a week because of the staggered time. This kind of thing can only happen to a busy person like Mr. Mu.

"It won't happen in the future." Liu Nian showed a gentle smile, stretched out his left hand, Chu Mo took the initiative to put his right hand into his palm, and clasped his fingers tightly, full of happiness.

The red light flashed, the street lights were driving, Liu Nian held the steering wheel with one hand, and held her with the other. The longing between the two did not require too many words, as long as a small movement was enough.

Part2
The honeymoon location is chosen at the beginning and end of the year. She doesn't have as many romantic cells as other girls. The place she wants to go is the United States where she stayed when she went to study abroad in the fleeting years.

Asked why, Chu Mo said: "I just want to see the environment you lived in before, as long as it is related to you, I don't want to miss it."

The fleeting time went with her.

While waiting for the plane, Chumo went to the bathroom, and when she came out, she almost bumped into the oncoming person. She hurriedly said "I'm sorry", but heard the other person's surprised voice: "Yang Chumo?"

Chu Mo looked up, looking at the familiar face in front of her that she hadn't seen for a long time, she felt a sense of fate: "It's you..." She didn't expect to be here with Lu Youjing.

"En." Even after encountering such a big twists and turns, Lu Youjing is still condescending like a young lady, and even thanking her is a high-profile gesture, "For what happened last time, thank you for allowing Liu Nian to let me go."

But Chu Mo said: "You thanked the wrong person. Regarding this matter, I never persuaded Liu Nian to let you go."

Lu Youjing froze for a moment, another man's face appeared in her mind... Could it be Yu Sheng...

She was in a daze, but Ting Chumo continued: "Actually, I would rather you be punished. If it wasn't for you, Mo Wang wouldn't be still lying on the hospital bed."

Lu Youjing was a little surprised by her words, then she thought about it, and said, "I'm really sorry for Mo Wang. Although I was the fuse, you know about Mo Wang's condition. It was not under control, and the one who died of illness in the end has nothing to do with me, but I also express regret..."

"What did you say?" Lu Youjing didn't speak, but was interrupted by the shocked Chu Mo, "What did you mean when you said that Mo Wang died of illness?"

"..." Lu Youjing frowned, "Don't you know?"

Immediately, she seemed to suddenly realize: "No wonder IMB didn't hold any memorial service, everything is according to Mo Wang's intention, let you know without telling you...even the fleeting years are hiding from you...heh...Yang Chumo, I really don't understand why so many people put you in their hearts, and they are afraid of hurting you for any little thing..."

Lu Youjing was still talking in her ear, but Chu Mo couldn't listen anymore, she walked past her quickly, she wanted to ask Liu Nian to understand.

"Yang Chumo!" Lu Youjing suddenly stopped her, looking at her standing back, Lu Youjing said behind her, "If it was Mo Wang's intention to conceal Mo Wang's death, then just pretend you don't know! After all, everyone is For your own good, I don’t want to make you sad. Mo Wang must have thought so before he passed away. Why don’t you just pretend that you don’t know? No one is willing to hide you. This kind of well-intentioned concealment is the most depressing and painful. Sometimes Being too obsessed with getting to the bottom of it makes everyone unhappy.”

After saying this, Lu Youjing left. She didn't tell Chu Mo that this would be the last time they met. She would fulfill the promise she made to Yu Sheng at the beginning. As long as Liu Nian let her go, she would never meet again. appeared before him.

Part3
When Chu Mo walked to the VIP waiting room in a daze, she saw Liu Nian sitting on the sofa reading documents from a distance, still looking serious and focused.She remembered that Yu Sheng once told her that the agreement between her mother and Fleeting Years was also between him and Mo Wang, because Mo Wang didn't want to make her sad, because Mo Wang didn't want to leave with regrets, so Fleeting Years chose not to say anything.

It turned out that for such a long time, Fleeting Nian was the one who was under the most pressure. He did so many things behind his back and kept so many promises, but he chose never to say anything.Everyone took it for granted that his strength was innate, but they didn't know that this strength was developed through one thing at a time.

No one is born strong, they have been tenacious and forbearing for countless days, not surprised by favor or humiliation, and gradually become invulnerable to swords and guns.Sometimes, forbearance hurts more than venting.

Perhaps feeling Chumo's sight, Liunian raised his head and waved to her: "Come here."

Chu Mo walked over, and Liu Nian asked her: "What's wrong?"

"No." She shook her head, hugged his arm, and said, "I just saw that you were looking at documents even during your honeymoon, and I think it's not easy for Mu Zong, who everyone envies, to make money."

Liu Nian laughed, touched her head behind her, comforted her, and continued to read the document.

Chu Mo put her head on his shoulder. She didn't want to ask about Mo Wang's affairs as eagerly as she did when she came here. Lu Youjing was right. No one is willing to hide it. The concealer is the one who hides this kind of kindness. The most depressing and painful.

It was already evening when the two arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

Fleeting Nian didn't take Chu and Mo to the hotel, but came to his home in Cambridge.

There is even a home in Cambridge...one has to wonder if another hobby of Fleeting Years is buying a house...

The dinner was eaten next door by a young Chinese couple. They used to be classmates when they were studying abroad, and they settled down in the United States after graduation.

The hostess is a young, beautiful, and generous woman. When she first saw Chu Mo, she held her hand and said excitedly, "I can finally see Mu's legendary lover with my own eyes!"

That enthusiastic appearance seems to be an extremely rare person...

Later, after eating, Liu Nian was chatting with the host.

When the hostess talked with Chu Mo, Chu Mo knew why she wanted to see herself so much: "You must not know that in college, there were so many girls in the school who were eyeing Fleeting Years, but Fleeting Years didn't even look down on them. I didn't know until later, It turns out he has someone in mind."

"You don't know. At that time, I was also one of the little fans of Fleeting Years, but don't be fooled. We have always been friends. Because I knew that Fleeting Years would not like me, and it happened that there was A boy was chasing me, so I tried to get in touch with that boy, who is my current husband." Facing the fact that she once liked Fleeting Years, the hostess didn't think it was a shy thing at all, she frankly told Chu Mo said, "Later, before I returned to China in Fleeting Years, I told him that if I had the chance, I must meet the girl in your heart, and this would fulfill one of my wishes."

That day, the hostess talked a lot about Chumo, and finally she asked her curiously: "Chumo, fleeting year is so difficult, how did you eat him to death?"

Chumo was stunned by this question, she thought for a long time, and finally gave the hostess an honest answer: "I don't know either."

Maybe everyone doesn't know that she was a very low self-esteem girl in the past. She never thought that Fleeting Time could love her for so long.

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic hostess and hostess, on the way home, Chu Mo asked the man next to him: "Liu Nian, can I ask you a question?"

"you say?"

"Why over the years, there are so many girls around you who like you, and there are so many girls who are better than me, but you only choose me?"

"I don't know." For the first time, Mu Dashen, who was knowledgeable and talented, was stunned by such a question. He said, "At the beginning and end, maybe I am not a person who likes to change. I will always persevere, even though the road is twists and turns, I never thought of giving up."

Because in Mu Liunian's life, there is only success or failure, there is no word "give up".

Part4
On the second day after arriving in Cambridge, Chu Mo went to Harvard University where he was studying in Fleeting Years.

This is recognized as one of the top higher education institutions in the world today. Eight presidents of the United States of America have emerged here. Hundreds of Nobel laureates have worked and studied here. It has a high academic status and extensive influence in this field, and it is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.

When Chu Mo was young, she also thought that one day she would be good enough to enter this institution of higher learning. Although the final outcome was not as she expected, at least today, she finally entered this school. With a face full of vigor, she seemed to see that the fleeting years at that time were just like them, so outstanding that it was enviable.

All the way from the main entrance of Harvard to Harvard Medical School, some students recognized Fleeting Nian and walked up to greet him enthusiastically.

Fortunately, they were all very polite. Seeing that Fleeting Nian seemed to be visiting his alma mater, they had a warm chat and then left. Fleeting Nian was greeted warmly by almost everyone along the way. At the end, they couldn't help but say: "Fleeting Nian, It has been several years since you left here? The popularity is still so high."

Of course, even if he didn't graduate from Harvard, Fleeting Nian's other identity is also a famous pianist. It can only be said that there are very few people in this world who don't know him.

At this time, a few foreigners in white coats walked out from the gate of the medical school not far away. One of the old men saw Fleeting Years and said to the people around him in English: "Is that Mu? Could it be that my nearsightedness has deepened recently?" ?”

"Professor Tyson." Fleeting Nian took the initiative to greet Chu and Mo.

"Oh my god, it's really Mu!"

"Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are handsome again." Someone asked, "This beautiful lady beside you is the one in the legend... Is it called in Chinese, Xiaoqingmei?"

The foreigner said that the word Xiaoqingmei had some jerky and weird tones, which seemed very joyful.
"Yes." Fleeting Nian introduced with a smile, "At the beginning and the end, this is my tutor, Professor Tyson, this is Professor Friend, and this is..."

After Fleeting Nian's introduction, Chu Mo greeted them politely.

That Professor Tyson adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "It turns out that you are the little green plum that you can't let go of..." Then he looked up and down like a little white hamster.

It was only at the end of the month that I found out...how famous she is in Fleeting's circle of friends...Everyone saw her for the first time, but everyone knew her...

That day, the professors warmly invited Mrs. Mu and his wife to stay for dinner. During the chat, they also knew that after graduating from Harvard, Professor Tyson was sad for a long time when he abandoned medicine and went into business...

I still remember that Professor Tyson always sighed at the dinner table: "Mu is simply a genius in medicine, what a pity..."

Everyone knows that it is a pity that Professor Tyson was transferred to the business school halfway, but even if he transferred halfway, Fleeting still did so well!

So what's the pity?Chumo doesn't think so, she only knows that no matter which path Fleeting Nian chooses, she will unconditionally support and trust her.Because he is Mu Liunian, the best man in her heart!

Part5
On the third day, because I learned that Fleeting Nian came to Cambridge, my classmates who were at Harvard before Fleeting Nian warmly invited us to get together.Although Fleeting Nian doesn't like to attend banquets, he is still very polite to his classmates, and he can only accept the hospitality.

Chu Mo originally went to that party with her, but Chu Mo said she wanted to rest at home, seeing her exhausted from being tossed and tired, she went alone.

After Liu Nian went out, Chu Mo squinted on the bed for a while, then got up from the bed, and after getting dressed, she went out.

Boarding the bus to New York, I felt an unprecedented heavy mood in the past few days.

Although she didn't show any emotion about Mo Wang's matter in front of Fleeting Years, she had to go to New York to prove whether what Lu Youjing said was true or not...

Along the way, she was restless. She never expected that Lu Youjing was playing tricks on her, and she just wanted to see her make a fool of herself...

She would rather be deceived than to have what Lu Youjing said be true.

After more than five hours' journey, when she finally arrived outside the villa that Mo Wang brought her to, and looked at the house standing there, it seemed that time was still stuck in the time when Mo Wang brought her here for the first time.

In this huge villa, the decoration is warm, but it reveals a nameless loneliness. In the large space, only Mo Wang and a golden retriever live in it.

When asked the reason before, he said it very easily, he said: "I just like the feeling of living alone."

But she knew that he didn't like being alone, he was obviously a kid who liked to be lively, but he was afraid that his illness would be worrying, so he locked himself here alone, and he gave all his warmth and enthusiasm to the people around him, The rest of the loneliness is tasted silently by myself.

Chu Mo took a deep breath, and temporarily let out the stagnation in her heart.

She knew that now was not the time for her to be emotional.

She opened the gate of the yard and walked to the door of the house. She tried to hear the sound of the house, but no, the house was quiet, as if there was no one there.

She didn't believe it, and was about to knock on the door, but the door opened from the inside.

She was overjoyed and almost blurted out the word "Mo Wang", but the person standing in front of her stunned her.

"You are..." Chumo looked at the strange yet somewhat familiar girl in front of her, and her mind quickly started to search automatically. After a while, she said, "Are you the girl on the plane last time?" Then she suddenly realized, "Where are you?" The male god mentioned on the plane is Mo Wang?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded, "Hi, Chu Mo, let me introduce myself formally. My name is Mo Li. Mo is Mo's Mo, and Li is Separation's Li."

"..."

Seeing that Chu Mo didn't speak, she smiled again: "Is it because of fate with Mo Wang? At that time, I also thought that I shared his surname because of fate, but unfortunately..." Mo Li realized his gaffe , quickly said, "...you can call me Xiaoli."

"...Xiao Li, hello." Chu Mo finally came back to her senses, she wanted to reach out her hand to show her affection, but found that Mo Li was holding a jade box, a rectangular container, in his arms.

"This is..." I didn't ask the following words, Chu Mo only felt trembling all over, as if a thunder exploded in my mind!

It's an urn!

Why did this urn appear in the arms of the girl?
Is everything Lu Youjing said true?
Chumo took a step back in shock, she felt her legs began to tremble, if she hadn't held on to the door frame beside her, she felt that she would not be able to maintain a standing posture at any time.

Mo Wang...how could he really...

She closed her eyes, not daring to imagine those two words at all.

Although she heard everything she knew from Lu Youjing, she always had a little hope in her heart that it was Lu Youjing who played tricks on her and lied to her!She had never been like this before, hoping that Lu Youjing hated her as before, and designed her, saying that Mo Wang's death was just a means of revenge against her.

But no.

"So you don't know..." Mo Li sighed, "Actually, we all hope that you don't know... In this way, Mo can leave with more peace of mind."

"It... when did it happen?" Chu Mo felt that her ears were ringing, she asked with difficulty.

"It's been almost half a month...it's the day of your wedding." Mo Li said, "Don't worry, Mo left very peacefully. He left after watching you two complete the wedding..."

Chu Mo stared blankly at the square box, her face pale as paper.

She couldn't believe that that day would be the last time they saw each other.

Mingming happily made an agreement... to go to her wedding, why did the person lie in this box in the blink of an eye?

Chu Mo closed her eyes, tightly clenched her fingers, the fingertips pierced her palm, and there was a burst of pain, as if only this kind of pain could remind her of this cruel fact.

"I promised Mo that I will send him to the sea today. He has been with me for so long, so he should yearn for freedom very much." Mo Li always faces Chu and Mo with a smile, because that is what Mo Wang likes and cares about the most. Girl, so she should also be friendly to her, she said, "Chu Mo, can you go with me? Mo must be very happy to see you come to see him off for the last time."

Chu Mo looked at the urn in her arms, and nodded slightly.

The place Mo Li took Chu Mo to was the nearby coast. She said: "When I was alone, I would often take Little Benben here for a walk. Little Benben, do you remember? It is a very big cat. Emotional dog, since Mo left, little Benben does not eat or drink every day. At first I thought it was sick, I took it to the pet hospital, the doctor said that he is not sick, but misses the owner. After returning from the pet hospital, It still doesn't eat or drink, I have no choice but to watch it lose weight day by day, the day before yesterday... it finally left with Mo."

After Mo Li finished speaking, he placed the urn on the beach and opened the lid.

The moment the lid was opened, her calm face finally showed a trace of pain.

She was so reluctant, that's why she selfishly kept Mo Wang until now...

But she knew that Mo Wang longed for freedom, she couldn't possess him so selfishly, even if it was painful, she would still leave Mo Wang.

She closed her eyes, gently printed a kiss on the box, got up, and handed the box to Chumo, she said: "Chumo, please see Mo off for the last time..."

She knew that if that person was Chu Mo, Mo Wang would be very happy.

Chu Mo stared at the jade box in front of her in a daze. It was obviously just a jade box, but several times, her arm seemed to be frozen and unable to move as if someone cast a spell.

She still can't accept that the once so sunny and kind boy is now only left with this bit of gray...

"At the beginning and end..." Mo Li's voice rang softly in his ears, "Don't be sad, the last thing Mo wants is to see you sad, that's why... he let everyone hide the fact that you and his death. You Be sure to be happy with Fleeting Years, so that Mo can leave without any regrets."

That's right, the last thing Mo Wang wants to see is her being sad, and what he wants to see the most is her smiling and living happily with Fleeing Years every day.

He has done so much for her, how can she live up to him?

Finally, she gritted her teeth and took the jade box carefully.

On that day, it was Chu Mo who personally scattered the ashes into the sea.

She still remembers talking about death with Mo Wang before. He said: "If one day I die, the ashes must be scattered in the sea. The sea is flowing all the time, so I don't have to stay in one place all the time! So at the beginning and end, if There really is a day when you are still here, and I am gone, when you miss me, you only need to go to a place with the sea, and you can feel my presence."

So, Mo Wang, you will always be by our side, right?

Part6
When Chu Mo returned to his apartment in Cambridge, Fleeting Nian hadn't returned yet.

Chumo sat on the sofa, thinking about what happened today, she felt exhausted, she lay in a daze on the sofa, and then fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, her face felt itchy and numb, she opened her eyes, and saw Fleeting Year leaning against the sofa, his slender fingers gently drawing on her face, seeing that she woke up, showing her a gentle smile laugh.

Chumo sniffed, there was a faint smell of alcohol in her nose, she muttered: "You've been drinking."

"Hmm..." He responded, picked her up from the sofa and put her on his long legs, and asked, "Why did you fall asleep here?"

"Just...a little tired."

"Go out?"

Chu Mo froze, thinking he had discovered something, and asked a little nervously, "How do you know?"

"I see you have changed your clothes." He replied naturally.

Knowing that he was just asking casually, Chu Mo felt relieved and said, "Well, let's go for a walk."

"Sorry, I couldn't accompany you today." He said.

"It's okay! I didn't want to go. It's only natural for you to come here once, and get together with your college classmates!"

"Yeah." Very happy with her understanding, he played with her tender little hand and asked, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Mo asked softly, "How about going to see the sea?"

"Okay." As always, he didn't ask the reason, as long as it was where she wanted to go, he was willing to accompany her.

The next day, when Chu Mo came to the beach with Fleeting Years, he saw a private white yacht standing there quietly like a moving castle in a dream.

Chu Mo touched the body of "Castle" and asked, "Are we going to go to sea with this?"

"Hmm. Do you like it?" Fleeting Year asked.

Chu Mo nodded: "Like a castle that can move."

The corner of Liu Nian's mouth curled slightly: "I'll take you up." After speaking, he pulled her to the yacht.

Someone on the yacht had already prepared fresh and delicious fruits and red wine. Seeing them coming up, they greeted them politely and got off the boat.

Seeing them coming up, the captain staying in the cockpit asked politely, "Mr. Mu, can we start now?"

"Yes." Fleeting Nian responded, and the man nodded before leaving, turned around and started the yacht.

When the yacht sailed into the sea, Chumo stood by the railing of the yacht, looking at the endless ocean, which was beyond her imagination.

"It's so beautiful..." She sighed, "Liu Nian, did you often play on yachts before?"

"Well, when I didn't have classes, I would take a yacht to go fishing in the center of the sea." He replied.

"Are you with your classmates?"

"No, myself," he said.

"Why alone? Don't you feel lonely?" Chu Mo was puzzled.

"You know I don't like crowds." Liu Nian leaned against the railing of the yacht and looked into the distance, "Besides, I was really lonely at that time and didn't like to communicate with people."

"Fleeing Years..." Chu Mo couldn't help feeling distressed, she wasn't by his side at that time.

Fleeting Years mood is not depressed, he said: "Sometimes I catch a lot of fish here, all kinds, beautiful, strange, are rarely seen in life. At that time, I thought, If you are by my side, you will definitely like it very much, and you will dance with joy..."

"So I'm here now." Chu Mo stepped forward and hugged him, "No matter what happens in the future, I will stay by your side, watching the fish, the ocean, and all the scenery in the world."

"Ah."

He hugged her and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Neither of them spoke to each other anymore, it seemed that all languages ​​could be replaced by this hug.

Chumo is in Fleeting Nian's arms, looking at the distant scenery, and the refreshing and humid sea breeze gently blows her hair and cheeks, which is refreshing.

At this moment, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world. There was only the boundless ocean in front of my eyes, and the misty waves scattered the sorrows I had in the air. The delicate voice of the wind was in my ears, as if Mo Wang was smiling in my ears. Said: "At the beginning and end of the year, in the fleeting year, you must be happy!"

Will do!Mo Wang, we are very happy now, have you seen it?
No one answered her, only not far away, in the blue sky, three clouds floated together, which happened to form a smiling face.

Very early on, Chumo said to Fleeting Nian seriously: "Fleeting Nian, you must wait for me."

He asked, "What are you waiting for?"

"When I become better, so good that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you... I always think, if one day, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you, it must be the most beautiful scenery in the world."

"Okay." He said, "I'll wait for you."
