Chapter 13 end

The day before leaving G City, Sang Li finally decided to go back to the Academy of Art to take a look. The hotel she lives in is only about one kilometer away from the Academy of Arts.Along the way, she looked at the familiar scenery around her, and saw that the streets she was familiar with were more spacious, some plane trees in her impression disappeared, and many roadside shops had changed their signs. There were so many young faces on the road, they He was beaming with joy, his face was full of youth. It was the best time of my life. Sang Li just walked slowly all the way.After walking halfway, her injured leg began to hurt faintly. She frowned slightly, and looked up at the sky: chaotic gray, thick white, the wind was strong, and the leaves were spinning in the wind, and they were about to fall. rain.

In the past few years, Sang Li knew that her own body was far more accurate than the weather forecast. She doesn't care.The weather at the end of summer is already cool in autumn, even if it rains, how big can it be?Even if you don't have an umbrella and run a few steps, there is always a store you can use to hide from the rain, right? However, everything is obviously beyond the scope of Sang Li's imagination! It should be around four o'clock, when Sang Li was walking near the small park on the corner of the street, the sky suddenly darkened, and within a few minutes before and after, heavy rain fell from the sky!

Sang Li was stunned, and almost subconsciously ran forward a few steps, but what was frightening was: But in those few minutes, huge rainwater poured over his head and face, instantly making Sang Li unable to breathe!She couldn't see the road in front of her at all, nor could she see any buildings. It was pitch black, only the honking of cars and the screams of pedestrians one after another! The icy jet of water crackled on my body, hurting like hail.She couldn't open her eyes anymore, and the water under her feet kept rushing forward with great momentum. Sang Li subconsciously grabbed a clump of holly branches behind her, but the water under her feet was getting bigger and bigger, and she started to lose her footing!

Sang Li started to get scared. She stretched out her hand and firmly grasped the holly bush in front of her, letting those branches scratch her arm, but she still tightly grasped the position near the root below the branch, relying on the strength of the tree to stabilize herself! She tried to open her eyes in the rain like a curtain of water, and tried to look into the distance—she remembered that there should be a fairly high gazebo in the park not far away, not only can it shelter from the rain, but it should not be so big flood! Thinking of this, she let go of her hands slightly, and wanted to walk towards the gazebo, but a terrible thing happened again—it was only more than 50 meters from the sidewalk where she was standing to the entrance of the pavilion not far away, and she only needed to cross a crossroad The distance, and she couldn't get over it!

The overwhelming water seemed to be pouring out from the opening in the sky, and one could even see a surge of surging waves whistling as the tide rose. Is this still the road I was walking on just now? She endured the pain of rainwater pouring into her eyes, and opened her eyes wide to look into the distance. She couldn't find the pavilion, but saw that the traffic had been completely paralyzed—cars stalled or rear-ended on the road, and the flood flooded into the car mercilessly. Many drivers resolutely chose to abandon their cars and flee; pedestrians on the road were unable to stand still due to the huge water, so they could only hold hands with each other or hug the trees around them; the most terrifying thing was that a bus broke down in the middle of the road, Someone jumped out of the car as if fleeing, but was instantly swept away by the water rising more than one meter!

Sang Li gasped! At that moment, there was no light in the sky, only rain was pouring down in the pitch-black space, and the street was already filled with cries.Sang Li tried his best to grab the holly tree at hand, buried his head, and almost plunged his body into the holly, but he didn't notice that with the roaring flood, a huge iron trash can had left its original position. The surging flood quickly approached in the direction of Sangli! However, at the moment it was about to hit Sangli's body, a figure slammed into him with a "bang" and forced Sangli to protect him, and the iron trash can slammed hard from the man's back. Hit it, and then drift away with the undulating water!

Sang Li's face was slammed into the holly bush due to such an impact, and the branch passed across her face, causing a sharp pain at the corner of her eyebrows, but fortunately - the branch did not poke her eyes! It was also at this time that she remembered the kind-hearted man lying behind her—if it wasn't for him, that trash can would have killed her. She struggled to lift up slightly, but felt the people behind her tightly hugging her waist. She turned her head with difficulty, but she heard the familiar voice in the wind and rain shouting loudly: "Sang Li, are you alright?"

Is it Ma Yu? ! In an instant, scalding tears whizzed out, mixed with the cold rain, and couldn't be stopped. She wanted to turn around, but Ma Yu held her tightly with one hand, and reached out to hold the holly branch with the other, shouting: "Don't move, hold on tight!" She took a deep breath, grasped the branch in front of her tightly, and asked loudly, "I'm fine, how about you?" "I'm fine!" After he finished shouting, he buried his face in her neck. In the rain, she couldn't even feel whether it was human skin or other objects floating with the flood. She just told herself repeatedly: Sang Li, it's okay, he's here , you'll be fine...

They stood in the monstrous water on the side of the road, clutching the holly branches tightly, for two hours. During those two hours, Ma Yu kept Sangli tightly in his arms, and he told her loudly: This kind of rain won't last long, it will stop soon, hold on! But he didn't tell her: when he looked out the glass of the hotel room and saw the cars colliding with each other on the road and the pedestrians swept under the water by the flood, he almost stopped breathing!He immediately told YOYO not to go out, then locked the door, and rushed out of the hotel in the first time, bumping into more than one person who rushed into the hotel to hide from the rain along the way.People ran in in a mess, but when they saw Ma Yu rushing into the rain desperately, they showed expressions of surprise, confusion and even madness.

He didn't bring an umbrella because he knew it wasn't going to work, and he was pushed back countless times along the way, and was even swept into the side of a broken-down car once, hitting the rearview mirror so hard that he nearly broke him ribs.But he still struggled to move forward. He knew that Sang Li must not have gone far. She had bad legs and couldn't walk fast. But this is exactly what he is most worried about - she has injuries on her legs, and there are still steel nails that have not been taken out. In such a heavy rain, in the freezing rain, any time her legs become weak, she will be drowned alive!

However, fortunately, he saw her and the trash can. He rushed over and used his body to block the huge iron monster for her. The moment he felt a sharp pain in his back, his heart suddenly relaxed: she It's okay, it's good! Two hours later, when the rain eased a little, he hurriedly pulled Sang away and ran to the pavilion not far away. He stumbled and almost fell into the water many times along the way. He gritted his teeth and pushed Sang away behind him. He was exploring the way ahead—he knew that such a flood would most likely wash away the sewage manhole cover, and that there might be human-eating eddies everywhere under the invisible water surface! For such a short distance of more than a hundred meters, they walked for nearly half an hour. Finally, after going through all kinds of hardships, they got close to the gazebo, and when the people in the gazebo saw them, they pulled one by one to form a ladder—the man in the front was already exposed to the rain, and he wiped the face with one hand. With the rain on his face, he tried his best to pull Sang Li and Ma Yu who had no strength at all with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Hold on tight, hold on, and I will pull you here!" It was the darkest three hours the city had ever seen. The sudden torrential rain caused the city to lose 34 lives in just three hours—thirty-four seemingly independent individuals, but behind them, there may be more grieving families. In the face of the natural disaster, Sang Li and Ma Yu survived. This is the happiness after the accident. That night, the emergency room of the Provincial Hospital was full of people coming and going in a panic. Sang Li's whole body was drenched, and then the wet clothes were half-dried by the cold wind, sticking sticky to the skin, with a faint itching.She sat on the bench tiredly, staring at the door of the emergency room with some absentmindedness. It seemed that many people and things passed through her mind in a trance, but she couldn't remember any of them. And those voices were obviously noisy wind and rain, roaring in her ears one after another, and occasionally, there would be a roar saying "Sang Li, don't be afraid, I'm here"... She closed her eyes tiredly, stretched out her hands and rubbed her temples vigorously, and took a deep breath, as if she had temporarily eliminated those vague and messy memories from her mind. At this moment, the door of the emergency room was opened, and Ma Yu walked out holding a few pieces of paper.Sang Li stood up suddenly, rushed forward to support him in a few steps, and stared at him with wide eyes. Ma Yu's face was a little pale, but he still smiled. As if he didn't feel a wound on his back at all, he stretched out his hand to rub Sang Li's cold cheek, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, just a little wound." Seeing that she didn't believe her, he shook the medicine list in his hand: "Really, you can go back after getting the tetanus shot." He looked at the woman in front of him tenderly, saw her carefully help him to sit down, and then took the medicine order to get the medicine, so he grabbed her backhand and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" However, Sang Li lowered his head, just looked at the medicine list in his hand, and didn't speak. As soon as Ma Yu stretched out his hand to embrace her, his chin rested on the top of her head, his voice was relaxed but cheerful, he said: "Sang Li, don't do this, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings, you should be happy! " As soon as Sang Li's eyes became hot, tears gushed out uncontrollably, seeping through the shirt on his shoulders. "If you survive a catastrophe, you will surely have a future blessing"... This sentence was also said by Nan Yang in the ward many years ago.But, why are there always catastrophes when being with her? Xiang Ning, Shen Jie... Do you want to add Ma Yu now? She finally looked up at him and said, "Ma Yu, I said a long time ago that it would be no good to know me." Her voice was desperate and dry, Ma Yu couldn't help but raised his head and put his arms around her shoulders, bringing her closer to his arms.He lowered his head and looked at her seriously for a long, long time. Gradually, a smile surfaced. He looked into her eyes so sincerely and happily, and there was joy in his voice. Sang Li blinked and looked at him inexplicably. Suddenly, I heard Ma Yu say: "Sang Li, you may not believe it, but I really feel that I have never had such a good time in my life." He paused for a moment, then added with a smile: "I'd rather you worry about me so much, than you always feel that we have nothing to do with each other." Sang Li was speechless, not knowing what to say. The next day, Sang Li was scolded at least three times by Gu Xiaoying from head to toe. Gu Xiaoying jumped angrily: "Sang Li, you don't know your own body? Don't your legs hurt when it's cloudy? What are you doing running out? Do you know how horrible what happened yesterday? I called you but I couldn't help it. I can't get through, your phone is just a decoration? You still hurt Ma Yu? They tricked you, why do you have to be brave when you meet..." Sang Li was sitting on the sofa at Gu Xiaoying's home, covering her face with a pillow, until Gu Xiaoying took a short break before poking her head out, pushing forward a glass of water: "Drink some water..." "Can I drink it?!" Gu Xiaoying was still furious, and suddenly slapped the coffee table, scaring Sang Li. Gu Xiaoying sat down on the sofa, squinted at Sang Li, and sneered: "It is said that last night you gave a lecture on idealism to Ma Yu? Let me tell you, Sang Li, just get married honestly. No? Don’t always think about what you have! It’s because of you that your life is always messed up. What do you think happiness is? Let me tell you, the so-called happiness is nothing more than two people being together while they are still together. Live the life in front of you! And life is nothing more than daily necessities, even bickering every day. Do you know that a person's life is very short, and there are too many unexpected variables, and you can't always give up for some dangers that you can't see Happiness at your fingertips!" Sang Li was stunned. She sat quietly on the sofa in Gu Xiaoying's home, with a pillow in her arms, her eyes twinkling thoughtfully. Gu Xiaoying stood up and stomped her feet, looking at Sang Li: "It is said that 'poor people must have something to hate', do you know what you hate the most, that is, you trust your own judgment too much. Which way do you think is right? You just leave without hesitation, and you can't listen to any dissuasion from anyone. Sang Li, you have to listen to me this time. Ma Yu is a good man, but a good man can't wait for you forever. You have to try to do something, maybe There are unexpected surprises. After all, we can’t stop eating forever because of food poisoning once or twice, right? As the saying goes, ‘the old ones don’t go, the new ones don’t come’, how do you know that the losses and partings in the past were not for Pave the way for today's acquisition and reunion?" Sang Li was silent again. Noon is the farewell banquet. Ma Yu's wound was not serious and he recovered very well, but he couldn't drink, so he used white water to respect his master. Guan Tong drank the wine in the cup, but Gu Xiaoying calmed down a long time ago, and directed Sang Li with a smile: "Sang Li, each family should send a representative. If Ma Yu can't drink, you have to drink." She poured red wine for Sang Li with her own hands, and Sang Li glared at her. She pretended not to see her, and even booed: "Sang Li, hurry up and toast your savior." Sang Li had no choice but to hold the cup and look at Ma Yu, his tone was really sincere. She said, "Ma Yu, thank you, really." Ma Yu probably didn't expect that she would really toast this glass of wine. He was taken aback for a while, then turned around after a while, and hurriedly raised the glass and said, "Sang Li, you are not so obsessed with others, are you?" At the same time, Gu Xiaoying laughed loudly, fearing that the world would not be chaotic and shouted: "Give me a glass of wine, give me a glass of wine! What is drinking like this?" Sang Li turned her head and glared at Teacher Gu who had no image at all: "Pay attention to your image, don't lead the children into trouble." It was only then that Gu Xiaoying remembered that YOYO was still eating dessert by her side while watching the excitement curiously. She rolled her eyes, pointed at Sang Li, lowered her head and asked YOYO: "YOYO, do you want Sang Li to be your mother?" YOYO nodded without hesitation. Gu Xiaoying laughed even more treacherously, and told YOYO: "Then you let your father and Sangli's mother drink up, and you will call them parents from today on, you know?" YOYO looked at Gu Xiaoying wonderingly: "But she asked me to call her Sang Li." Gu Xiaoying patted YOYO's head resentfully: "Stupid you, it's because you always call her Sang Li that she doesn't want to be your mother! You should call her mother more, so that everyone in the yard can call her mother." We all know that she is your mother, do you understand?" Suddenly realized, YOYO turned his head and looked at Sang Li expectantly. Guan Tong couldn't listen anymore, coughed twice, and patted his wife on the head casually: "Gu Xiaoying, can you accumulate some virtue for yourself?" "Nonsense! Is there anyone more virtuous than me?" Gu Xiaoying glared at Guan Tong, then turned back, to watch Sang Li and Ma Yu drink down the wine. Sang Li couldn't resist her, nor could he resist YOYO's eagerly looking eyes, and finally took Ma Yu's arm, and drank the wine in one gulp with his smile. YOYO took the lead in applauding. Gu Xiaoying looked at her with a smile, the happiness in her eyes seemed to be stronger than that of Sang Li. The atmosphere in the small box reached a small climax in this way. Sang Li looked at the happy people with a reddish face, but she didn't say: at that moment, she was suddenly very moved. This is a secret feeling that cannot be told to others, but it really warms her up. During the dinner, while Guan Tong and Ma Yu were chatting happily, Gu Xiaoying suddenly raised her head and asked Sang Li, "Nan Yang teaches in the Department of Political Science and Law of the Provincial Normal University?" While peeling the crab legs for YOYO, Sang Li casually replied: "I just found out about it a while ago." Gu Xiaoying had a remorseful expression on her face: "If I had known it earlier, I would have let you introduce it to me! My handsome brother Nanyang, I fell in love with him when I saw his photo, but I never thought that he was in the same city as me..." Sang Li rolled his eyes: "When he graduated with a Ph.D., you were in the second year of graduate school, and you were torturing Brother Guan, okay? As for later, I lived in seclusion, who knows where he went." Gu Xiaoying smiled slyly: "Then do you know that he went abroad as a visiting scholar?" "Of course I know," Sang Li looked at Gu Xiaoying, "Otherwise, how could I not go to him when I come back this time?" Gu Xiaoying smiled: "Do you know why he wants to go abroad?" Sang Li wondered: "Going abroad is a good thing, and not everyone can do it as a visiting scholar!" "That's what I said, but Nanyang... There must be other reasons." Gu Xiaoying laughed heartily. Sang Li didn't understand. Gu Xiaoying finally couldn't hold back anymore, and took the initiative to reveal the answer: "Our colleagues from the new branch came to report this year. After chatting, I found out that we all know Nan Yang, and she told me the reason why he went abroad as a visiting scholar. Guess, What is the reason for this?" "What is it?" Sang Li was also curious. Gu Xiaoying smiled contentedly: "He was entangled in a teacher-student relationship, so he went abroad to seek refuge." "What?" Sang Li's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "Really," Gu Xiaoying shrugged, "Our colleague is a graduate student who graduated from their department this year and is here to be a full-time counselor. She is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can ask Nan Yang herself." Sang Li was dumbfounded. What a coincidence, before boarding the plane in the evening, Nan Yang called. He said: "Xiao Li, I have been a visiting scholar at the Law School of the University of Melbourne for a year. This is my mobile phone number. You can save it. But international calls are very expensive, so I'd better wait until I call you. " Sangli suddenly felt emotional in his heart—it seemed that he was always thinking of her all this time. She smiled and asked, "Is the scenery in Melbourne good?" There was also a smile in his voice: "It's not long since I came here, so I can't care less about the scenery. But if I take a photo, I will definitely send it to you." Sang Li did not forget to verify the important information he just received: "Brother, I heard that you are stuck in a dilemma in the teacher-student relationship?" Nan Yang was silent for a few seconds before realizing he asked back: "Who told you?" Sang Li smiled: "I have a lot of eyeliner." Nan Yang said in a nonchalant tone: "Don't listen to their nonsense, they will know how to ruin my reputation." "Really?" Sang Li held back his laugh, "But I clearly heard that you are the first love of a girl, and the other party is determined to use eighteen martial arts to subdue Mr. Nanyang, whose emotional experience is blank." Nan Yang was angry: "Who said that my emotional experience is blank? At such an old age, who has never been in love!" Sang Li laughed loudly: "Brother, so you also remember that you are quite old? But why haven't I heard that you have been in love?" Nan Yang snorted angrily: "Who said there is no, it's just that you don't know." "real?" "Nonsense!" Nan Yang gritted his teeth. Sang Li smiled, but this time, her smile contained relief, enlightenment, and firmness that Nan Yang couldn't see. She said: "Brother, in fact, we are not young. By this time, we have at least one ability, that is, we can see who is really good to us." She sighed slightly: "Brother, I have walked so long alone, and I often have to detour for a long distance. I know how tiring it is, so don't do this." She smiled slightly, and on this side of the equator that he couldn't see, she said to him amidst the announcement urging to board the plane: "Brother, I know now, there is no chance that can wait for you all the time without slipping away. Life is really short, and happiness is fleeting, so don't disappoint others' hearts, and don't disappoint time itself." Nan Yang on the phone was silent. On the other side, Sang Li raised his head and saw Ma Yu standing up from his seat, picking up his travel bag and walking forward. Holding YOYO with his other hand, he turned to see her, smiled slightly, and said to her, "Come on, Sang Li." There was a sudden movement in her heart, and warmth suddenly emerged. These three words are not as straightforward as "I love you", but they are so warm. —How like, an invitation about "a lifetime". Shortly thereafter, Sang Li resumed her performance in Charm. Perhaps this is the status quo that pleases everyone—now, regular guests know that "Enchanted Color" has a very beautiful actress, whether she writes songs or sings Western opera excerpts with taste.Gradually, this elegant art salon has become the brand performance of "Charm" every Friday night, and there is often a grand event of "hard to get a ticket". Sheng Jin was very happy about this, and wished she could sign a long-term contract with Sang Li.It's just that Ma Yu thought of Sang Li's poor health, and repeatedly interfered with his sister's lobbying for Sang Li.Sang Li didn't talk much, just sat with a smile and watched Ma Yu and Sheng Jin bicker with each other. In fact, Sheng Jin is also a very beautiful woman, she likes to wear black low V-neck dresses, her hair is rolled up, with a faint aura.It's just that as soon as she opened her mouth, she lost her charm at all, but instead brought a little bit of pungentness and a little bit of whinyness from a local woman. She complained to Ma Yu: "Brother, you don't take care of my business at all, and my sister-in-law hasn't said she doesn't want to!" After she finished speaking, she looked at Sang Li eagerly. When Ma Yu saw it, he first reached out to hold Sang Li's hand, then looked at Sheng Jin, and said unhurriedly: "Little sister, I didn't mean you, you should too." Now that you have a home, don't spend all your time in this store. I think you'll go on a blind date this weekend, and you—" "Stop! Stop!" Sheng Jin frowned, "I surrender, brother, don't talk about it, is it okay if I don't sign the long-term contract with my sister-in-law? Really, Sang Li hasn't agreed to marry you yet, so you just take care of me Western..." She glared at Ma Yu while muttering, and Sang Li laughed. Amidst the quarrel between the siblings, she felt that life had finally returned to the most ordinary but gentle and meaningful track in the world. Of course, this is not the end. At the age of 28, there are still many dreams to realize in life: such as continuing to sing, hoping to have a real bosom friend to gain happiness from such singing; Come to rely on; such as praying for happiness, hoping that those who love me and those I love will be healthy and everything will go well... She knows that by this time, the realization of the first two has already had a vague outline, only the third one is still hanging there, so that when she dreams back at midnight, there will always be heart-wrenching thoughts. So, after coaxing YOYO to sleep that night, she solemnly proposed to Ma Yu, "I want to go to Shanghai once." It was on the terrace, the autumn wind was getting colder, her hair was blown tousled, and a few locks were scattered on her forehead.Ma Yu stretched out his hand and put it behind her ear.In the distance beside them are the flickering lights of thousands of families. Ma Yu looked at Sang Li's eyes, which were clear and real, no longer confused, no longer shrouded in fog, but those eyes that could see the bottom of his heart at a glance. After a long silence, he finally spoke. He said, "Okay." He stretched out his hand, put her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, "I'll wait for you to come back. When you come back, we'll get married." Sang Li raised his head, looked at him with a smile, and said nothing. She just gently raised her hand, caressed the man's brow, and smoothed his frown. In October, Sang Li set foot on the land of Shanghai again. When standing in the vast hall of Hongqiao Airport, she really felt as if she had passed away—many years ago, also in October, she chose the first point of no return in her life from here, from the neon lights of this bustling city . Such a city lures young and aggressive people every day—on the road of youth, where there are dreams, there are platforms; where there is struggle, there are legends.It's just that some people get the first pot of gold when they go the right way, and even set up a monument for their youth; It turned out that what was wrong was not the prosperity itself. Rather, in the face of prosperity, what kind of life and what kind of road do we choose. In October, it really is a cool autumn. Zhongyue is still the same: the towering spiers against the sunset on the Huangpu River, the glass curtain wall reflects the stream of burning clouds, standing quietly in the hustle and bustle of the city. Sang Li stood under the huge building, looked at the doorman in neat uniform at the door, hesitated for a moment, then picked up a small luggage bag to enter the door, and went to the front desk to register for the accommodation. The girl at the front desk smiled like a flower, and her tone was soft: "Hello ma'am, welcome to Zhongyue Hotel, may I help you?" Sang Li nodded, smiled and pushed his ID card over, and replied, "Hello, I want to book a single room." "Okay, please wait a moment." The front desk clerk took the ID card and prepared to register.However, the moment she saw the name on the ID card, she was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Sang Li, with an expression of disbelief flashing across her face. She bent down, handed Sangli's ID card to the girl beside her, and whispered a few words.The girl also looked at Sang Li in surprise, and immediately left the front desk with her ID card and walked to the manager's duty room not far away. Sang Li asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with my ID card?" "Oh, Ms. Sang," the front desk clerk immediately replied with a smile, "That's right, your ID number has been registered as a distinguished customer, please wait a moment, our manager will come over immediately and serve you personally." Sang Li looked suspiciously at the waiter with a bright smile in front of him. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy. A few minutes later, sure enough, I saw a few figures in well-fitted suits approaching quickly. When they were about to approach, Sang Li finally recognized it in surprise: the one walking in the front is Guo Baiwei? A few years later, he seems to have become more mature, with the calm demeanor of a middle-aged man on his brows, and a little more sharpness in his eyes and a little more hesitation to cover up. Behind him were two men in black suits. One of them smiled and introduced himself as the housekeeping manager. He checked Daisang away. . The moment the door closed, Sang Li looked at Guo Bowei who was sitting in front of him, and suddenly didn't know what to say. It was Guo Baiwei who spoke first: "Miss Sang, long time no see." Sang Li nodded and smiled slightly: "It's indeed a long time no see." Guo Baiwei cut directly to the topic: "You are here this time—" "I want to see Shen Jie." Sang Li didn't hesitate, "I want to see how he recovers after the operation." She looked at him frankly: "I'm worried when he leaves suddenly." "You can rest assured," Guo Baiwei smiled, "Mr. Shen has gone to the United States to recuperate. According to the news from there, Mr. Shen's condition is very stable." "America?" Sang Li looked at Guo Baiwei in surprise, "When did you leave?" "It's been about a month," Guo Baiwei replied while taking a folder from a follower next to him, and pushed it in front of Sang Li, "This is left for you by Mr. Shen before he left, he expected you to come , so we have already arranged for us to wait for you." Sang Li looked at Guo Baiwei in disbelief, then looked down at the blue folder in front of him, and subconsciously asked, "What is this?" "The gift book," the man next to Guo Baiwei introduced himself, "I am Mr. Shen's lawyer. What you are holding is the personal safe set up by Mr. Shen at the bank. After you sign, you will have the right to control the contents of the safe." "Safe deposit box?" Sang Li frowned, opened the blue folder, and looked at ten lines at a glance. "Mr. Shen put some things in a safe before he went to the United States," Guo Baiwei explained, "He said that if you come to him, please accept this gift." "What if I don't come?" Sang Li looked up at Guo Baiwei and asked with a frown. "He said that you will definitely come." Guo Baiwei smiled meaningfully, but he also seemed to be pleased. "He said, you will definitely not allow him to leave like this. You will find him even if you dig three feet. So, Please go and open this safe, there is what he wants to say to you." As he spoke, an autumn wind blew in through the open windows, bringing the coolness of evening. Sang Li lowered his head, clutching the folder tightly with one hand, and unconsciously stroking the place where Shen Jie's Chinese and English signatures were written in the text with the other hand. Her slender fingers, just like that, gently stroked the black signature. It seems to caress the smiling face of that person, and it seems to caress those fleeting years that never come back... The next day, accompanied by Guo Baiwei and the lawyer, Sang Li finally saw the legendary safe. Guo Bowei and the lawyer consciously stayed at the door, and Sang Li walked in and opened the safe with the key. Inside, there was a delicate rosewood box with a letter on top of the box. Sang Li couldn't wait to open the letter, and when she finally saw those few lines, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Shen Jie's letter reads like this— little girl: By the time you read this letter, I should not be in China anymore.You can rest assured that the operation was a success, and I will try my best to live on, because I cannot break my promise—I promised you that I will stay with you and never leave you.Even if the Pacific Ocean is separated now, I will always be with you and never leave. Inside the box is the gift I wanted to give you three years ago. It is a set of jade ornaments carefully carved by a jade artist who I have been looking for for a long time with ancestral techniques.I wanted to take it to Beijing and tell you that we will get married after your 25th birthday.Unfortunately, when I received a call from Beijing, I hurried on the road and forgot to bring it.Later, my father was critically ill, and I rushed to the United States without even an explanation in time.Later, when my father passed away, I stayed abroad to take care of the funeral and receive the inheritance. I didn’t return to China soon, and you disappeared during that time. So, I have always regretted it.I thought if I could give it to you before I go to America and tell you that no matter what you become, I will marry you... If so, would you still leave me? I think, this is fate. We are doomed to miss each other and miss the best time—but only for three years, but after missing these three years, I am not even qualified to marry you. Little girl, life is really short, there are not many three years to waste.If someone loves you, and you love him too, then don't think so much, looking forward and backward is a waste of time and happiness.Be brave and try something bravely. After all, no one is perfect. Even if you have a little regret in the future, you have to allow a little error in your life.
