flowers on stars

Chapter 5 Flower · End of the World
If it is said that it was amazing at the time, it was only because of the lack of knowledge.Then why in so many years, my city has changed from a small and barren city to a prosperous one, but there is still only one person living in it, you.

[Wedge·Laugh and Forget Song]
Covered in the winter mist, the silver-gray car drove slowly to the foot of the mountain.

The hill is beautiful, and it seems that it has not yet woken up, sleeping lazily with a unique quiet posture.

From the buildings in the middle of the mountain, there was a faint sound of clear bells. If you got close, you could smell the scent of incense in the air.

Feng Xin parked the car, picked up the carefully wrapped bouquet from the right seat, pulled up the hat behind the black windbreaker to cover his head, and walked towards the small temple in the middle of the mountain.

What I brought today was blue-purple hydrangea specially ordered to be airlifted from Japan. Winter is not the season for this kind of flower to grow, but because Feng Xun likes it, he always order it from foreign greenhouses.

Thinking of the pain that flashed in Grandpa's eyes when he saw the flowers in his hand when he was going out, the weather-beaten old man forcibly suppressed his emotions, trying to hide his sorrow and joy.

"To see Ah Xun again?"

"Well, I was busy a while ago, so I haven't been there for two months." He replied.

"After New Year's Day, it's another year..." The old man finally couldn't help sighing.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, grandma can start preparing the New Year's goods." Knowing that this year, there is no need to make so many New Year's goods in advance, but he still tried to change the subject.

"Go." Grandpa turned around in time to prevent him from seeing his expression.

He lowered his head, probably fleeing in a hurry.

Feng Xun, his twin sister, was buried in this small temple in the hill.

Under the guidance of an expert, young souls who died suddenly should send their ashes to the temple, praying for the blessing of the Buddha, so as to seek peace in the afterlife.

Feng Xun may have found peace.

The dead can make their time eternal.Mom will never grow old again, Feng Xun will never grow up again.

But he is still alive, so he has changed from a teenager to a young man step by step.

The last memory of Feng Xun is her sleeping face.The blood on her face and body had been wiped clean, she had put on the beautiful clothes she liked, and the eyelids under the long eyelashes would never open again.

He numbly stretched out his hand to caress her forehead, and saw the old scar under the loose hair.

According to the doctor, she still has many old scars all over her body. Although they are not fatal injuries, they are shocking enough for a young girl.

He couldn't imagine what kind of life his sister had lived in the past six years after living with their father.

And one month before they were about to enter the university, Feng Xun was hit by a speeding unlicensed car on the August Long Street in the early morning. After being sent to the emergency room, he stopped breathing soon.

In the past six years, every time she saw her, she would laugh like a bell, and never once mentioned the truth to him, and she will never mention it in the future.

After Feng Xun's death, Feng Xin learned bits and pieces from his father's out-of-control crying and Feng Xun's classmates intermittently.

Because the results of the college entrance examination still failed to meet her father's expectations, Feng Xun was beaten again. After being forced to kneel all night and was forgotten by her drunken father, she staggered out to buy his favorite breakfast buns for her father, but got into a car accident. .

She rejected a letter a week ago to visit her, saying that she would travel to Korea with her classmates to see her favorite idol star.

She may have foreseen something, and she couldn't bear her beloved brother to face her desolate situation.

This little girl finally fell asleep exhausted in the heat of August.

Her death became a cone hanging high in Feng Xin's heart, falling down repeatedly every day, piercing him with blood.

One month after Feng Xun's death, Feng Xin disappeared from the network of all his classmates and teachers.

The college acceptance letter was burned, and his head was on the cold stone floor, kneeling in front of his grandfather for a long time.

From then on, in the clinic of the old Chinese doctor Feng, there was an apprentice who copied the prescriptions personally, and the old patients knew that it was his grandson's letter.

The young man in thin clothes looked cold, and kept silent to everyone's regretful and curious words.

Four years later, the young Chinese doctor wrote a letter and became famous.

10. His expression is gentle, but his posture is proud and lonely

Eight years later, I am 24 years old.

The first second when he walked out of the airport, Ruosu who flew up screamed and tightened his grip.

He Huan, who was always by her side, picked up her clothes like a puppy and pulled her off me.

"Pay attention to your stomach, and write a review at home at night." He said concisely.

This is the first time I see my brother-in-law-to-be.

It is said that he is a new legend in the lawyer circle of C City. He is 35 years old. It is said that Ruosu, who had just graduated from university, came together with him. His mother once strongly objected because of the age of the two of them, but when she saw He Huan in person, , and immediately silenced himself under his powerful aura and handsome appearance.

He is a very attractive man.

It is also the destiny nemesis of the little witch Cheng Ruosu.

I looked at Ruosu hanging his head in front of He Huan in a funny way, thinking about their upcoming wedding in half a month, and the little life in Ruosu's stomach that was just confirmed to exist, the only thing I felt uneasy Disappeared cleanly, and there was a kind of happiness and touch in my heart.

On the way, He Huan was driving, and Ruosu sat in the back seat with me, her fluffy head rubbing against my shoulder all the time.

This is not the same little lion with its teeth and claws. Women in love are sweet kittens.

"Sister, have you really made up your mind to come back? You went to Hong Kong to study at university for four years, and you still work there after graduation. No matter how hard your parents persuaded you to come back, we thought you were determined to abandon us for the rest of your life." She was dissatisfied hum.

Obviously she said it many times, but she said it again on purpose.

I raised my forehead silently. It seems that for a long time, Ruosu and his parents have to make up for the debts of insisting on studying and working in distant places all these years.

"I'm sorry, haven't you already found a job? I won't leave this time when I come back." I leaned over and hugged her gently, just like I did when I was a child.

"For so many years, I can't figure it out. How did you, who was so honest and timid before, get admitted to Hong Kong to study at a university? But in the last two years of high school, you worked so hard to get a full scholarship. It made my parents cry with joy. .” She was lost in memory.

That's right, my life in those two years was really lackluster. Apart from eating and sleeping, I was painting and reading.

Mechanical repetition brings good harvests.

"But old lady, you have become so beautiful these years in Hong Kong. By the way, have you brought all the skin care products that my colleagues asked you to bring? If you don't bring them, they will eat me." Her thinking is still the same Jump and fly.

He Huan, who seemed to be concentrating on driving, suddenly interjected in a serious tone: "Who dares to eat you?"

Ruosu answered loudly like a conditioned reflex: "You!"

After answering, he remembered that the occasion was not when the two were flirting alone, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

I laughed, desperately holding back the topic.

"Bring it. Didn't you buy a lot when you visited me in Hong Kong last year?" I said.

"It can't be helped, there are too many girlfriends." Ruosu's attention was attracted by the skin care products again, she made a face, and she sighed contentedly.

"Are the wedding photos ready?"

"Well. It was already planned to go to the Maldives to take pictures, but it turned out that there was an accident during the inspection... so I just took a set of pictures first." She looked at her stomach with a sad face, and then at He Huan's back.

Although the language seems to complain, it is actually full of sweetness.

"It doesn't matter, you are the most beautiful bride wherever you take pictures." I comforted.

"Then pick it up with me tomorrow."

The little car seemed to be full of pink bubbles, so sweet that it was about to overflow.

I'm really happy for her.

In Ruosu's chirping and quacking voice, the familiar and unfamiliar buildings and scenery outside the window flashed one by one.

Those streets that have been walked many times from childhood to adulthood have become wider, and those small shops that were once favorite shopping have disappeared, but the familiar atmosphere of a city will be deeply rooted in your soul. Still kind.

I only came back three times in six years abroad, but this time, my mood seems to be different.

This time, it's really back.

My hometown, the place I dream of most often.

I wish it was the end from now on.

The next morning, I slept late, and then took a taxi with Ruosu, who also slept late and got up late, to get her wedding photos.

The place we went to was the largest photo studio in the city. We sat on the red sofa and looked at the finished wedding albums sent by the designer.

Ruo Su is really beautiful.

That face, which is [-]% similar to that of her mother when she was young, has lost the baby fat of the past. In the arms of the tall and handsome He Huan, even the young designer, who is used to looking at happy photos, couldn't help but praise repeatedly, with a full tone of voice. It's envy.

A soft voice came from beside him: "That suit is nice, which one is it, please? I want to try it on."

Pointing to Ruosu's photo album.

When he looked up, he saw Tang Yanyan.

We all froze.

All of a sudden, my sister and my friends surrounded me like they did eight years ago. In a trance, I almost thought that time had never traveled so far. It seemed that I just closed my eyes in the afternoon sun and opened them again. Kai is already mature.

Much like magic.

"Cheng...Anzhi?" As if she didn't dare to confirm, her voice became softer.

"Tang Yanyan!" I grabbed her hand, my nose sore.

She wears light makeup, long hair like a waterfall, and is holding an exquisite handbag. The man with an ordinary face standing beside her should be her lover. Let's take a look at the wedding photos together, presumably good things are coming.

When I first went to Hong Kong when I was in college, we still had contact, but it gradually became rare.

She changed her cell phone number several times, and disappeared into the sea of ​​people at some point.

Too many old people are like this.

But when we met again on this street, I was still full of mixed feelings and ecstatic.

"I can't believe it's you... I still have an impression of your sister's appearance. When I saw you together, I thought it might really be you!" She shook my hand vigorously.

We hug each other.

He Huan was summoned to pick up Ruosu, and Tang Yanyan sent her husband away, and we sat in the cafe together to catch up.

"I thought you would stay in the capital and work hard for a few years, but I didn't expect you to get married so soon." I sighed.

When she was in college, she went to Beijing for the exam. She has a weak appearance, but she has a strong personality. I thought she would like that city.

She chuckled, turning the coffee cup with her long fingers.

"I played crazy for a few years in college."

"You?" Unbelievable.

"Hmm. You would never have imagined that when I was in college, I smoked, drank, went clubbing, changed six boyfriends, and played all the fun in this life. It seems that life is over at once." She rang the bell and called the waiter , Lighted a pack of women's cigarettes.

In the rising smoke, her pretty face became blurred, and the bright and gentle Tang Yanyan I saw in the bridal shop just now disappeared. I could see a bit of Yanyan's charm in her eyes.

I was stunned.

Tang Yanyan who painted wall paintings with me, Tang Yanyan who would cry when hearing unfavorable rumors, Tang Yanyan who chose wedding photos, Tang Yanyan who smoked a cigarette with an indifferent expression.

I have a sense of confusion.

"What happened?" I remember her freshman year we still kept in touch and she confided in me about the boy who played the guitar under her window.

"It's a very common thing. There was a boy who was crazy about me, and I finally fell in love with him. But when I was the happiest, he decided to run off to play guitar for other girls, and I realized that I was just a few of him. One of the audience."

Sure enough, it is the most common bridge section.

"I have been thinking hard for half a year, wondering what love is all about. Later I found that I couldn't figure it out, so I decided to find the answer in practice."

Finally?

"Finally, after graduating from university, my mother told me to come back and said that the marriage partner had already been arranged. He was a civil servant working in the government. He was a good person and had a good future. I came back and dated him for two years and planned to get married." Her voice was still soft, but the cigarette between her fingers made her talk full of wind and frost.

I put my hand on the back of her other hand and pat her comfortingly.

"What happened to you? Why didn't you stay in Hong Kong and marry a rich man?" She teased me.

"No rich man wanted me, so I had to come back." I smiled coyly, but Yan Yi's shadow appeared in my heart.

"Whenever you turn around, I will wait here." His face is still so pale, but his eyes are black and bright like a baby's, so serious and focused, that kind of eyes always remind me of someone.

"Do you have a goal when you come back?" She pressed out the cigarette, and the smoke gradually dispersed, and she became that gentle IKEA girl Tang Yanyan again.

"Not yet, I just arrived yesterday, let's settle the work first."

"I didn't expect you to become a strong woman... It's better to choose a good seller like me while you are young, and settle down. For men, women don't need to be too capable and smart." She sincerely.

"Yeah." I nodded in agreement.

But the topic couldn't get any further, so we started to eat lunch.

When we were saying goodbye, Tang Yanyan suddenly glanced at me, smiled and said, "Do you still remember that we both liked the same boy in high school?"

Remember, of course, that was the most important turning point in our friendship ever.

She doesn't mention that name.

"I even wrote him a love letter... At that time, I was so innocent, right. Later I realized that there is no need to be so troublesome to boys. They are actually the same. With some tricks, they can have sex in minutes." She shrugged her shoulders .

I didn't answer.

We exchanged cell phone numbers to say goodbye.

Walking home alone, I didn't get in the car right away, letting the October breeze caress my confused mind.

Only then did it confirm that eight years had really passed.

In eight years, the girl's pure white resume was painted with a rainbow of seven colors. When the school bell disappeared, the school bell disappeared at the same time.

I suddenly wanted to smell the sweet scent of osmanthus on the high school campus.

This is the first time I have returned to this campus after graduating from high school.

It was already late at night, all the teaching buildings were empty, there was moonlight, but it was not dark.

The moonlight shines on the white teaching building, its exterior wall has been mottled, and one side is covered with ivy.

I walked slowly outside the big iron gate of the school, and looked in greedily through the rusty railings.

The sweet-scented osmanthus trees that once planted around the wall have disappeared, the wall has been demolished, the campus has been expanded, and the playground is still in its original location, but the fragrance of osmanthus is no longer in the air in October.

Close your eyes, as if you can still hear the familiar radio gymnastics music, thousands of students wearing the same school uniform, doing gymnastics lazily.

The boy in white looked across the crowd, his expression was gentle, but his posture was proud and lonely.

Open your eyes, all illusions disappear, the moonlight does not speak, the stars do not speak, and the flowers do not speak.

The whole world, as if I was the only one left, kept in memory.

There was something wet on his face, which was quickly chilled by the night wind.

I whispered to myself.

"Letter, stay safe."

11. It turned out that he stayed in the same place all the time, but I foolishly chased him to the ends of the earth
"Anzhi! Cheng Anzhi!" Someone knocked on the door forcefully, speaking in a crying tone.

I ran to open the door in my pajamas, and looked up at the wall clock by the way, it was two o'clock in the morning.

The voice is Sun Ting.

Sun Ting is my new friend.

It has been more than a month since I came back, and I quickly entered a new working environment. When I was in Hong Kong, I worked for an international education group with branches all over the world. When I wanted to go back to City C, my boss tried to persuade me to no avail, and finally helped me apply for a lateral transfer to a branch in City C.

I am responsible for the adaptation and development of an early childhood education product imported from Korea. There are more than ten people in the project team. Before I have made achievements, everyone is naturally indifferent to my airborne status, but only Sun Ting from the administrative department is friendly to me. .

She is simple-minded, warm and cheerful, and when she heard that I was looking for a rented house, she immediately introduced me to a vacant house downstairs that was waiting for rent.

In fact, I just came back to my parents, so I shouldn't live alone, but these years I have developed a bad habit of working late at night. My mother couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw it, so she insisted on renting a house.

I opened the door, and it turned out to be Sun Ting, barefoot and wearing slippers, grabbing me desperately.

"Potato fever! I'm afraid I'm afraid!" She stomped like a child.

Little Tudou is her two-year-old son. The little guy has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and is very cute.

Usually, potatoes are taken care of by her grandma, and Sun Ting rarely has the experience of feeding them herself. Now her grandma is visiting relatives in other cities for half a month, and her husband Xiao Liang is on a business trip again.

I followed her to see Tudou, Tudou's little face was really red, panting heavily, crying and choking and coughing from time to time, it looked distressing.

"Our grandma insists that I send him to the doctor I usually know the most. She is not allowed to go to other hospitals. She just made an appointment with the doctor on the phone. Can you drive with me?" Her tears were about to roll Out.

Since Sun Ting had an accident driving by herself a year ago, she never dared to drive by herself again.

Holding a sick child in the middle of the night to take a taxi and afraid of standing on the side of the street and blowing the cold wind.

I was in a hurry to change clothes, then Sun Ting was holding the potatoes, and the nanny was holding other things. We all took the elevator down to the garage and got in the car and set off together.

I am not yet familiar with the road, and the car is also Sun Ting's car. It is my first time driving.But fortunately, there were few cars in the middle of the night, and it arrived smoothly after 10 minutes.

The medical clinic designated by Grandma Tudou is a four-story building in a prosperous area. It looks glaringly small among the surrounding buildings, but the simple plaque of "Feng'an Hall" and the faint herbal fragrance that can be smelled as soon as you get off the car make it Add a sense of culture to the city.

When I parked the car, Sun Ting and the nanny hurried in with the potatoes in their arms. I saw a nurse hastily opened the door, and a warm light leaked from the door.

Being a doctor is really hard.

While sighing, I parked the car and followed in. When I entered the door, I glanced at the glass next to it, and the glass reflected my messy hair.

After entering, there is a medicine-grabbing hall. There are various high-quality medicinal materials displayed in a transparent medicine cabinet on one side, and brown wooden medicine compartments against the wall on the other side. The solemn and elegant rows are filled to the top. I used to often I saw such a large Chinese medicine hall, but I rarely saw it after I came back.

Go through the hall into the doctor's office with lights and voices.

The young and tall doctor is palpating the little potato with his back facing us.

Sun Ting followed him around.

"How is it? Dr. Feng! You won't be stupid, right? My mother-in-law won't let me give him antipyretics, and says I'll show him to you first..."

On the way, she had already mentioned that this is one of the most famous TCM doctors in the city. It is said that one hundred registrations are not enough every day.

"Then why did he receive Tudou in the middle of the night?" I asked curiously.

"It's a long story. In fact, my mother-in-law was a beautiful woman when she was young. It is said that she was pursued by the doctor's grandfather. Now that she is old, her grandfather still remembers it. Whenever my Tudou gets sick, she will always call me His grandson got blown up." Sun Ting spoke without restraint.

But at this moment, as soon as the young doctor's back came into my sight, for some reason, my heart shrank violently for no reason.

Like being caught off guard, being hit by a heavy punch, and falling down without any thought for a moment.

Doctor Feng.

Sun Ting hadn't mentioned that the doctor's last name was so special.

She didn't prepare me mentally.

The man who turned around calmly, still has a beautiful face, with a slightly tired expression, a face that has appeared thousands of times in dreams, but never dared to paint it again, how could it just appear in a place a foot away from me? ?

Eight years ago, the smiling boy and the handsome face in front of him overlapped like a slideshow.

Feng Xin turned around and wanted to say something to Sun Ting, but when he saw me suddenly, he was a little taken aback.

Sun Ting turned her face following the gaze of the letter, and also noticed my strangeness, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly supported me.

The letter naturally reached out to catch my pulse.

Mature and elegant doctor.

His fingers were still warm, but more steady and powerful than eight years ago.

"It's my friend... Maybe I woke her up in the middle of the night and drove too fast... Anzhi, Cheng Anzhi, are you okay?" Sun Ting was very disturbed, and turned her head to explain to Feng Xin.

I'm fine, I'm just shaking a little.

I saw that the expression on the letter did not change when I heard the word "Cheng Anzhi". He motioned for the nurse to bring a cup of hot water.

"Sit down and collect yourself," he said.

His voice was originally quiet, but now even the trace of youthful mischievousness has been removed. It is clearly a gentle tone, but it only makes people feel that the night is as cold as water.

He doesn't remember me.

I wrote a postcard to him, asking him to remember my name.

But he still forgot me so naturally.

Seeing that I was fine, Sun Ting told me to sit down, and then went to talk with Feng Xin about the situation of Little Tudou.

"3 grams of ephedra, 9 grams of almonds, 12 grams of mustard ears, bellflower..."

The voice in the quiet air, like the gentlest water plants in the depths of a quiet lake, passed through such a long time, passed through such deep thoughts, entangled, engulfed, and embraced me little by little.

How lucky I am to see you again in this life.

How unfortunate I am, Yu Jun is still a passerby.

I sat on the steps in front of the hospital where I was writing letters, with my head buried in my knees, like an abandoned puppy.

I remembered that three months ago, in Hong Kong, I received a call from Qichun who was traveling in Tibet.

She's the only friend I've kept in touch with over the years.

On the phone, her voice was a little muffled due to the signal, but I knew she must be using that vicious tone.

"Go back, Feng Xin is not in Hong Kong, he is in City C now. A classmate saw him a few days ago."

"There was no news about him after the college entrance examination, and none of his classmates or teachers knew his whereabouts. The two universities he originally applied for, one in Beijing and the other in Hong Kong. You go to the university in Beijing to look for each department and make sure. He didn't go to Beijing. You chose the university in Hong Kong without hesitation."

"You have been studying and working there all these years, and when you are too old, you don't even have a relationship. You don't want to meet him there."

Her high-pitched voice ended with a sigh.

"Cheng Anzhi, I don't know whether I should slap you or praise you for being awesome. You are a bastard, you are actually challenging the most powerful thing in the world, time..."

After that phone call, I didn't stop for a second, and started to hand over my work there and get back in touch.

Yan Yi said that it was at that moment that he gave up.

This city is so small, I only came back for a day, and I met Tang Yanyan.

The city is so big, and it has been eight years before a classmate accidentally heard the news of seeing the letter.

It turned out that he stayed where he was, but I foolishly chased him to the ends of the earth.

12. Let you no longer be surprised, no longer bitter
Ruosu's wedding was all arranged by He Huan.

This man is very capable, sensitive and careful. These days, he has taken care and doted on Ruosu without any cover, and I have truly regarded him as a relative.

Although for their love, the wedding is only a supplementary form, but both parents are locals, each has different connections, and the wedding requirements are scenery.

It is indeed beautiful.

The Holiday Inn Hotel with the best environment in the city, from the dome to the chair back covers are all golden but not tacky, and the clean carpets all over the place only make people feel that their backs need to be straightened a bit.

He Huan's management is so perfect that there is almost no place where my sister needs to intervene. I only have two tasks. One is to accompany the beautiful Ruosu to wait and chat in the lounge; the other is to exchange rings and swear oaths. Play her favorite piano piece "summer" for Ruo Su.

In fact, I don't know how to play the piano, but when I first came into contact with Yanyi, he tried different ways to make things difficult for me, one of which was asking me to play "Summer" to lull him to sleep.

I used the most stupid method in the world, and found a classmate who can play the piano to teach me to memorize repeatedly. Half a year later, when I played this piece smoothly in the living room of Yan’s family, our relationship was already very good. , He has also forgotten the difficult problem that he gave me at that time, but I gave it to him as a birthday present.

His 19th birthday.

That day he listened quietly, then hugged me and cried loudly, I was terrified.

But from then on, he listened to everything I said.

This young man is as lonely and fragile as a cloud.

This piece has also become the only piano piece that I, who can't play the piano, can play.My level of proficiency in it, I am afraid that in the eyes of experts, it is almost fake.

Ruosu told this secret one day and was threatened by her.

"You played it countless times for your Hong Kong brother, and your own sister is jealous!" She said confidently, "This is also my favorite piano piece. If you don't play it for my wedding, sister, I will eat you!"

She likes to use the phrase "eat you" very much recently, I doubt it is the influence of He Huan.

But I can't help it.

At this moment, my fingers are walking on the keys, and the familiar music is flowing gently in the space. I watched my father hand over my sister's hand to the man who became my new family. I don't know why, and my nose hurts.

At that moment, the noise of the guests below, the shouts of children from a distance, the figure of the waiter serving the dishes, and the faint fragrance of vegetables in the air faded unconsciously.

Tears came up inadvertently.

My sister is married.

And Yanyi in the distance, one day, God will give you such a happy belonging, right?

Let you no longer be shocked, no longer suffer, no longer afraid of the outside world.

Because I cried, my vision was a little blurred. When the ceremony was over and everyone started eating and drinking, I suddenly heard a loud cry.

"Cheng Anzhi?"

I rubbed my eyes and saw that it was He Huan's father.

"Teacher He?" I blinked, and my voice hesitated.

He was wearing a Tang suit and grabbed my hand beamingly.

"You're back? Why didn't you send me an email? Oh, you're Xiaosu's sister? What a coincidence! Kiss and kiss!..." The old man was already excited, but now his face was even redder.

It's really Teacher He.

Because I came back not long ago, and I was busy with my work, so I didn't have the chance to meet He Huan's parents. It was the first time I met them, so I knew they were old friends.

I was only a sophomore at that time, and while I was recuperating with Yanyi, I learned some antique appreciation knowledge from him.He is not interested in all kinds of electronic products that young people love, he is only fascinated by this.

In order to cater to him, I also took the opportunity to learn a lot.

One time when I went shopping in Hollywood Road, I met Mr. He who came to travel.At that time, I didn't know that he was a university teacher, but I only heard the people next to him call him that, and the accent they talked with was clearly from City C. I was in a rush of nostalgia for a while, and I begged a group of hesitant old people to take a look goods.

Teacher He took a fancy to an old inkstone at that time, but he was not sure about the price, so he dared not sell it.

Under Yan Yi's reluctant and awkward guidance, the inkstone was finally sold at a suitable price, but because Yan Yi's face was so cold, I had no choice but to actively enliven the atmosphere, and gave all the knowledge I had learned about antiques to him. A predestined person I met on the streets of a foreign land.

Unexpectedly, the outspoken Teacher He’s affection for me doubled. In the end, we talked more and more enthusiastically, so we simply left emails and said to keep in touch.

After returning home, he really sent emails. He was knowledgeable and humorous, and it was a pleasure to read his words. Over the past few years, we have exchanged countless emails and have become friends of the friendship of gentlemen, but we have never seen each other again.

He often sends me photos of the treasures and antiques he found, and I feel a sense of accomplishment selling my half bucket of water in front of the other half bucket of water.

Sometimes he also writes about his son.

In his description, he belongs to the old man, and he is an only seedling. Originally, he had high hopes, hoping that he would also continue the cultural and educational industry, so as to add bricks and tiles to his family.

Unexpectedly, that kid has a bad temper, insists on doing things his own way, opens an online store, runs a factory, and changes to law halfway. To cut off the incense of his family.From childhood to adulthood, he couldn't listen to a word of his parents, so he was a complete bastard.

I only now know that what he described turned out to be He Huan.

My brother-in-law He Huan who is mature, capable and perfect.

I can't laugh or cry.

It was only then that I remembered that all strict fathers' expectations for their sons were probably filled with pride in their complaints.

At the end of the wedding banquet, I handed Ruosu to my mother and went to the bathroom by myself.

The restroom is designed with entrances for men and women on both sides, with a shared washbasin in the middle.

While washing my hands, I remembered that I became relatives with Teacher He when I came back this time. The wonder of fate is really amazing.

And seeing the letter the night before, what kind of arrangement was it by fate?
Make mistakes as soon as you get lost.

When I heard someone behind me reminding me, "Please let me go," I realized that I was stuck in the passageway from the men's bathroom.

I hurriedly gave way, but my feet slipped, and my high heels slipped on the wet floor.

The people behind helped me in time.

I turned around to thank you, and was stunned for a while.

The feeling of being struck by lightning when I first met him eight years ago came back, and I am sure that there are some people in fate who are destined to be a curse to you.

A letter in a black shirt walked past me, walked over to the sink and started washing his hands.

On the wall next to me is a box of paper towels.

I mechanically and instinctively drew paper to wipe my hands.

But my whole body was in a tense state, and I didn't need to look back, but I could clearly know that the water flowed through his palm, he used the hand sanitizer, the water started to flow again, stopped, and he walked towards me.

He walked towards me?

When I turned my head, I saw him standing in front of me, probably wanting to get a paper towel too.And beside him, stood an auntie cleaner with a poker face.

The aunt complained in a low voice: "Young people nowadays are too ignorant, they need to tear up so much paper to wipe their hands..."

It was only then that I realized that I had been pulling papers from the tissue box one by one when I was out of my mind just now, and now I have a lot of them in my hand.

I have seen some middle-aged women smoke a lot of toilet paper in this kind of public bathroom and go home because they are greedy for petty gain. I think I have the same image now.

This time I even lost the courage to say hello, I lost my mind and walked away in a panic.

Back in the hall, He Huan and Ruosu were already standing at the door to see off the guests.

I walked up to Ruosu, and before I could say anything, I saw a letter and walked over.

Halfway there, Teacher He rushed over and stopped him, who was drunk, and slapped him on the arm.

"Stinky boy, go back and tell your grandfather that he didn't come when my son got married, so I can't spare him!"

"Grandpa has gone to Beijing, and he really can't come back, so he asked me to congratulate him on his behalf. When Grandpa comes back, I will definitely meet you for a drink." Feng Xin patted the old man on the back in a good-tempered manner.

I heard Ruosu gasp, and asked in surprise, "He...is he?"

He Huan explained in a low voice: "His grandfather is an old figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and he is a good friend with my father. Although he has retired, those old leaders in Beijing feel unwell, so they still appoint his grandfather to see a doctor. He just now It seems to be late."

So Ruosu didn't see him when he toasted.

I secretly moved back a little, read a letter to dismiss Mr. He, and then came to congratulate He Huan and bid farewell.

"Congratulations." His voice was close.

In a daze, I felt that my hand was being held by someone, and I felt that my palm was wet and sweaty.

It turned out to be Ruosu.

She turned her face curiously and whispered in my ear.

"Sister, is he a letter? The letter from our same high school? The letter you liked before?"

I didn't know how to answer, the phone was vibrating, and I picked it up reflexively.

Meng Qichun's voice, as bright as the sunshine in May, came out of the microphone happily.

"Cheng Anzhi! Cheng Anzhi! I'm back! I want to live with you! I want to give you a big surprise hahaha!"

I can't believe my ears. She has been traveling and doing freelance work all these years. The last time she called, she said that she would not come back in the near future.

"Where are you?" I called out happily, and the sudden increase in my voice made He Huan and Ruosu all look at me.

"A group of egrets go up to the blue sky, and I'm squeezed in the middle! I'm stuck in traffic! But I'm coming to your place soon!"
