Zhang said slowly," Your turning point appears once every six years. Your most recent turning points are 21, 27, 33, and 39. These few years are important turning points in your life, especially in your relationship.”Then, he briefly described her situation when she was 21 and 27 years old, asked her to look back, and asked if she was ready.
She recalled carefully. Perhaps it was a coincidence. She met Lu Bo at the age of 21, divorced at the age of 27 and successfully took the postgraduate entrance examination. In the same year, she met Sun Guowei. It seemed that the previous two turning points happened coincidentally. So what would happen to the 33-year-old this year and the 39-year-old who had yet to arrive? What kind of life experience would it be? she asked.
He said," You met me this year. Meeting me was definitely a turning point in your life. There's no doubt about it. If you don't believe me, you can look back many years later. At that time, you will understand what I have said to you today.”
"Huh?" she asked in shock.？”She thought to herself, It's him? Then what kind of fate would he bring to her? This was interesting. This year was not far away, so there was no harm in watching. She smiled and asked again," What about 39 years old?”
He said," You'll get married again at the turning point of 39 years old and continue to be happy. The people you've found before and after this won't work out. You won't be able to get together either. You'll break up."”As if he was afraid that she would not believe him, he added humorously," 39 years old isn't too far away. I'll still be around then. Give me a call when the time comes. If I don't agree, you can scold me."”
She fell silent.
In a future filled with infinite variables, what would happiness be like? She could not imagine it. If there really was a turning point, she would certainly hope that it could make her happy! In her younger days, when love was greater than the sky, love had always been a matter of hundreds of turns and thousands of times. Now that she was tired, she no longer dared to hope for it. She just wanted someone to listen to her cry and laugh while she was still beautiful. When she cried, her tears fell like rain. When she smiled, she accompanied her through autumn and winter. Many years later, when her temples were white and her face was full of wrinkles, she was in pain and sorrow. He used his warm hands to wipe away her old tears one by one. When he was happy, in his heart, her bright smile was still vivid, just like in the past. If she left first, he would plant her favorite gardenia in front of her grave. On the day the flowers bloomed, the breeze would blow and the fragrance of the flowers would drift by. She would know that he had been here and loved her.
Happiness was just like that. It was dull but peaceful.
At night, thinking about what Zhang said, she had insomnia. She seemed to fall asleep in the middle of the night, but she was in a half-awake state. After a long time, she felt that her brain was very awake. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. The sky was already bright. She turned on her phone to check, but it was not even five in the morning. So she closed her eyes and lay down for a while. She waited until the alarm clock rang before getting up. While she was washing the rice, her phone rang again.
She ran over to take a look and was instantly stunned. It was the man she had loved deeply a few years ago. Before this, after they parted ways, he would only send her congratulatory messages occasionally during the holidays, but they had never met again. She hesitated for a few more seconds, wiped her wet hands on her body, and picked up the phone.
"Hello, is that you?" Sun Guowei asked.”"It's me," she said.
His voice was calm and soothing as he continued,"I'm off today and I'm going to the city. I want to treat you to lunch. Where is it convenient?”
She thought about it and arranged to meet him at the bus stop at twelve o'clock.
After putting down the phone, she was still in a daze. Scenes that were once vivid surged up, but now she felt like she was in a different world. Should he clean up properly? She hesitated for a few minutes, smiled bitterly, and put on the short green windbreaker that she had worn yesterday. She put down the hand that was holding the foundation. He no longer had that kind of state of mind.
At 11:50, she said a few words to Wen Feng, picked up her bag, and left the academy. From afar, she saw him. He was dressed casually, carrying a bag on one shoulder, and had a crew cut. It had been more than two years, but there didn't seem to be much change. He was still handsome and imposing.
She walked closer to him. At this moment, he also saw her and smiled faintly.
She brought him to Yolanthe near the office. After taking a seat, he called the waiter and ordered some of her favorite salty and spicy dishes. Then, he crossed his fingers on the table and looked at her quietly with a smile.
They hadn't changed much. She thought that at least she saw him as such. However, the moment she looked at him, she realized that something had changed.
The two people who used to love each other so much, but because of obstacles, their love became even more unforgettable. They called her baby every day, sent her messages every day to reassure her, and cried for him every day. When they met again two years later, although they were still smiling, they suddenly became so estranged. There seemed to be something in the middle that separated the two of them.
He was still as gentle as before. He still remembered what dishes she liked to eat and kept putting food into her bowl to make her eat more. He said that she ate too little and that she was too thin. There was still love and affection in his eyes, but there was an indescribable distance between the two of them that was slowly pulling apart.
After dinner, he went out. Perhaps he wanted to ask her to stay or call something back, he said,"Let's go." She smiled and nodded.
The two of them walked slowly along a shallow river and chatted casually.
He turned to look at her and asked softly,""Do you work in the art academy next door? I think I heard you mention it before."
She kicked a small stone under her feet and nodded."Yes."
"It looks quite quiet. The archway was filled with a sense of culture from afar. The environment is not bad."
"Did you go in just now?"
"No, they didn't allow me to enter. I had to register, so I just looked outside.”
"If there's no financial pressure, it's not bad here. Cultivate one's body and mind until one's old age, hehe.”
"Yeah, hehe. What grade is the child in?"
"Third year. What about you? Was it a boy or a girl? How old are you?"
"A boy. He's over a year old and has just learned to walk.”
"Oh, hehe, how are you?”
"That's it. Only this child can bring me some fun in my spare time. This little fellow is very cute. I'm working very hard now. I'm working overtime almost every day. I don't want to go back to that house and live with her parents. I'm just a live-in son-in-law there. I'm like an outsider. It's boring.”His expression was indifferent. It felt as if he was narrating an old matter that had passed away a long time ago. However, life was right in front of him.
She looked back at him and smiled.”
The corners of his mouth curled up into a very light smile. It seemed to be gratified and self-deprecating as he said,"I'm now the director of our teaching and research department. I can be considered a small leader.”
She nodded." That's not bad." Then, she added mischievously," Do you love her? I think you'll answer no, right?”After asking, her eyes and face were filled with mockery.
He stopped and turned around to look at her. His gaze was deep and lonely as he said faintly,"Yes, I am. If love is endless longing and unforgettable memories, I only loved you!”
She had wanted to mock him, but when she heard this, her heart softened. It was as if she had been waiting for the gentlest blow for more than two years, even though she was unwilling to admit it.
The two of them fell silent and slowly walked forward. After a while, he said,"But after we got married, I didn't dare to contact you anymore."”
She couldn't help but mock him again. She looked over in surprise and raised her eyebrows."Are you afraid that I'll call you a hypocrite or that I'll urge you to get a divorce?”
He was silent. She was also silent. What could she say? Was she asking him why he didn't divorce her? Why didn't you fulfill your promise? Why ask when you already know the answer? She was no longer in the mood.
The spring sunshine was just right, just like the spring of the year they parted ways.
Now that he had been gone for years, the oath was mottled in front of his eyes.
After a while, he asked softly and carefully,""What about you now? What's your current situation? Was it a person? Or?"
She walked with her legs crossed like a naughty girl. She looked at her feet and did not look at him. She smiled and said,"Two people, me and my son."
Obviously, he did not expect her answer. He laughed softly and said,"You're still so playful. You haven't looked for him in the past two years?"
Her feet returned to normal. She thought for a moment and looked ahead."There was one who was together for more than a year. It's not suitable to separate.”
He sighed and said,"It seems that when it comes to relationships, you're not willing to compromise." Actually, people who divorced were probably not willing to make do with each other.”
She swept her sharp gaze over and asked aggressively,"So, are you going to make do with it?"
He fell silent again. She understood his silence. What could he say? If he said yes, he would be beating himself up and leaving more evidence for himself to break his promise. If he answered no, she would definitely continue to ask.
In front of them was a movie city. The two of them stopped in their tracks to watch some movies. Her gaze involuntarily fell on the poster of " No Longer Letting You Be Lonely ". It was a romance film with Shu Qi and Liu Ye. She had seen it before and had even shed tears a few times.
There were a few lines on the poster that caught her attention. She stared at it for a long time: Hong Kong's tears flowed in Beijing's heart. It was better to be together than to say that I love you. When she saw that sentence, her eyes welled up again.
"What do you want to see?" he asked.
She shook her head." I've already seen it. I'm not going to look at it anymore."”
The two of them walked back at an unhurried pace.
From the beginning to the end, they did not even shake hands before they separated.
She didn't know if he had anticipated this meeting before he came. At least, she had some regrets. If she were to throw away her occasional resentment and sadness, that period of time was once so beautiful. Perhaps it was the best that she could never surpass in her life. If she did not see it again, she would definitely look back at it often in her heart. But now, something was slowly dissipating and leaving. Perhaps, it was indeed better to miss than to meet!
At that time, she only wanted to tell all the lovelorn people in the world: In the future, there will be a day when you will recover from your sadness. There will be a day when you will see that person as if you were seeing an ordinary acquaintance! Therefore, when you feel like dying, please hold on! You should know that you are very happy two years later!
