It took about an hour to reach the small city from Benxi. Xing Lan took a taxi there. The rain had already stopped, and the clouds had turned into a white ribbon that wrapped around the top of the mountain for a long time. The motionless ribbon added a sense of mystery to the verdant green of the mountain, making people curious but unable to touch it. Xing Lan, who was in the back seat, opened the window and looked at the mountain after the rain. His face was filled with a trace of relief. Xing Lan was the only one in the taxi. The driver in the front row kept saying something to Xing Lan. Xing Lan did not listen to a single word. He only looked at the towering mountains around him. There were no industrial factories, no artificial decorations, and no one had ever walked past them. There was only dense green and tranquility. Xing Lan even thought that that place might be the last virgin land of the 21st century.
"Hey."
During the silence, an unknown bird called out from the mountain. The sound instantly spread to every corner of the silent mountain. Xing Lan, who was thinking, smiled slightly.
"Master, how much time do we have?"
Xing Lan turned around and asked the chauffeur's back.
"Immediately. Then, look."
As the driver spoke, he turned the corner. What greeted Xing Lan's eyes was a completely different world.
Xing Lan saw a man-made roundabout a hundred meters ahead. There were many cars parked there, and people were walking on the main road in groups. The tall buildings of the city were faintly discernible under the fog in the mountains. Before he was in the middle, Xing Lan seemed to feel the hustle and bustle of the city.
"At the end of the road, there is no way out.”This sentence was the most appropriate to describe the cities in the northeast that were located in the mountains and forests. The cities in the northeast were indeed very hidden. Otherwise, Xing Lan would not have circled around a city for six hours without leaving.
"Sir, please park your car over there.”
Xing Lan's tone carried a hint of joy because he had already seen the class monitor and sister-in-law looking left and right by the roadside.
"Sorry to trouble you, Master."
Xing Lan watched the driver leave.
"I haven't seen you for more than a year. I've missed you so much. Come, give us a hug.”
Xing Lan got out of the car and looked at the class monitor and the other two as he teased them.
"Sister-in-law was just about to hug you. I didn't expect you to think the same as me.”
As the two of them spoke, they subconsciously wanted to use it. Sister-in-law seemed very happy.
"No wonder my class monitor only had feelings for you for so many years. Today, I really felt what it means to be intoxicated by your hug.”
Xing Lan placed a hand on his sister-in-law's shoulder as he spoke in all seriousness.
"Don't always flatter her. She'll fly.”
The class monitor, who had been silent all this while, spoke up.
"You're just jealous of me. Do you see Xinglan? Your class monitor is always like this. When others say that I'm good, he's the first to be unhappy.”
Sister-in-law defended herself. Sister-in-law, who was already twenty-seven years old, was still like a child who did not know anything in Xing Lan's eyes.
Sister-in-law usually knew nothing. She didn't know how to cook, wash clothes, or do anything that a girl should know. In Xing Lan's eyes, she was just a child. On the contrary, the five-year class monitor was an elite in everything.
The class monitor was already twenty-nine years old, and his sister-in-law was only two years younger than the class monitor. When Xinglan was in the army, they had already started dating. Over the past few years, Xinglan had witnessed them getting to know each other, getting to know each other, and falling in love. There had been many misunderstandings in the process, and there had been many times when they had been helpless. They had also been separated. There were two times when Xinglan felt that it was impossible. However, they had finally gotten together because they could not let go of each other.
"I'm already twenty-four years old. I can't wait any longer. My family has been urging me, but why can't I let her go?”
This was what the class monitor said when he was drunk five years ago.
"I'm already 26 years old, not 18 or 19 years old. I can't wait, but why haven't I been willing to let go?”
This was what Xing Lan had said to her when she was the class monitor. After drinking with the class monitor, they were breaking up.
"Your class monitor is really good. I know that he gives in to me in everything. I know that I'm very stupid and that he has to worry about everything, but I'm used to being spoiled by my family at home. I can't control my temper. Every time I see him lose his temper, I find it hard to accept.”
This was the conversation that his sister-in-law had with Xing Lan on QQ a year ago. It was also the first conversation that Xing Lan had with his sister-in-law. At that time, one of them was twenty-six years old while the other was twenty-eight years old. They had just quarreled and his sister-in-law was crying very hard. The class monitor was also very distressed. Xing Lan had never seen the class monitor distressed before.
No matter what, Xing Lan was very happy. They had finally gotten together. They were close to thirty years old. In Xing Lan's eyes, they had not seen through everything, but at the very least, they knew what life was like. Their choice was very wise because in the eyes of outsiders, they were really compatible. The struggle and wait of the past few years was nothing more than to make the two of them more perfect today, to make it easier for the other party to accept them.
"Let's go. It's going to rain again in a while.”
The class monitor looked at the gloomy sky and suggested going home.
"You and Xinglan go back first. I'll go buy some fruits.”
"Xinglan, go back with your class monitor first. Sister-in-law knows that you like to eat bananas.”
Sister-in-law looked at Xing Lan with an evil smile.
"You treat me like a monkey.”
Xing Lan really liked to eat bananas, but his sister-in-law's tone and expression made Xing Lan feel a little innocent.
"Haha, I won't play with you anymore. See you later.”
Sister-in-law left after saying that.
"Let's go."
The class monitor urged her after she left.
"Why is your hair so long?"
On the way, the class monitor pointed at Xing Lan's hair and said.
Hearing this, Xing Lan pulled the hair in front of his eyes."Follow the trend." Xing Lan's tone was very low. He had never thought that he would like long hair because in Xing Lan's opinion, long hair was a little too unmanly.
"But to be honest, he's indeed much more handsome than before.”
the class monitor continued.
"Haha, of course. So, are we still breaking up?”
Because the two of them would break up from time to time in the past, Xing Lan's words were more like a kind of teasing.
"We're already so old. Why are we still splitting up? It's pretty good. I'm the kind of person who doesn't want a divorce.”
"Why?"
Xing Lan pressed on. Xing Lan, who was familiar with the class monitor, knew that the class monitor had many theories about relationships. The class monitor was also very interested in the supernatural. Listening to the class monitor's words, Xing Lan knew that the class monitor would have his own set of explanations.
"Didn't you see? Those national leaders, or the tycoons, no matter how many women there are outside, they always bring their first wives with them when they go out. Although I don't plan to be a giant, at least I don't have to be criticized by others.”
The class monitor was very confident.
"Haha, that makes sense."
Xing Lan pondered for a moment and it was indeed the case.
"What about you? How are you?"
The class monitor asked Xing Lan.
"It happened in which lifetime? I've long forgotten about it. I'm also very curious. When you said that you missed her, you were really willing to die for her. Once you gave up, I wouldn't even want it for free.”
Xing Lan's words did not matter because he had really forgotten.
"Mhm, actually, your sister-in-law and I have talked about you before. Your sister-in-law also thinks that you should let go, but she didn't say it out loud because you were so sad at that time. Letting go is the best choice.”
The class monitor was very serious.
"I can't guarantee anything better. I just hope that I don't have any regrets and don't owe anyone. After so many years, in the eyes of others, I don't owe her anything anymore. As for the extra portion, just like you said, I don't want to owe her anything in my next life.”
Xing Lan smiled after he finished speaking.
"You live too high up."
The class monitor's house was on the seventh floor and there was no elevator. Ji Xinglan was already sweating from the heat.
"I'll show you a few people you want to see."
The class monitor at the door had a mysterious look on his face.
"Who else is here?"
Looking at the class monitor, Xing Lan did not know what was going on. His mind instantly flashed past many people.
"Eat this. Give me an apple."
"Why should I give it to you? I took it first.”
The class monitor immediately opened the door. Xing Lan could not help but admire the soundproofing effect of the door. The moment he opened the door, there was a commotion inside.
"Class monitor Xing Lan?"
"Xinglan?"
The door opened and Xing Lan was stunned because Hua Ming and Ye Peng were inside.
Hua Ming was a soldier under Xinglan, so he was called Xinglan's class monitor. Xinglan's first relationship had a lot to do with Hua Ming's phone call. When they were in the army, Xinglan had acknowledged Hua Ming's personal qualities and sincerity, so their relationship had always been very good. Ye Peng was in the same batch as Xinglan, and the two of them were even more proficient in the Light Element. Therefore, Xinglan was also stunned for a moment because he really wanted to see them.
"Who's here?"
While they were talking, another person walked out of the room.
"Xing Lan class monitor, f * ck, Brother Qu, why didn't you tell us beforehand?”
The person who spoke was called Yu Hua. Compared to the few people in the room, Yu Hua could only be considered a new recruit because he was the only one who had been in the army for two years. However, Yu Hua was older than Hua Ming and Ye Peng. Xinglan did not need to be compared because Xinglan had entered the army in his brother's place at the age of fourteen. When Xinglan left the army after recovering from his five-year military service, his peers were new recruits who did not know anything. Yu Hua was very loyal and had principles when dealing with things. Although he was only a two-year soldier... However, he was very persuasive in the army. Xing Lan liked to get along with Yu Hua because Yu Hua understood Xing Lan very well and was very supportive of everything Xing Lan did. If Xing Lan was wrong, he would quickly point it out. In Xing Lan's eyes, the two of them were true friends.
"Class monitor, you're so handsome now. If I were a woman, I would definitely marry you. Let me hug you first.”
Hua Ming hugged Xing Lan as he spoke.
"F * ck, it's enough that you snatched the apple, but you still want to snatch Xing Lan from me. You're just a new recruit. Come to Xing Lan and give me a hug.”
Ye Peng and the other man teased each other without any manners.
"The three of you are really not friends. You didn't pick me up. And the two of you, you're still here earning an apple. Give it to me.”
"Kacha."
Xing Lan snatched the apple from Hua Ming's hand and took a big bite.
"F * ck, you can't pick on us about this. Brother Qu, you too. You didn't even tell Xinglan that you were here.”
Ye Peng explained to them.
"Yeah, Brother Qu never told us.”
Yu Hua chimed in. Xing Lan ignored him and poured himself a glass of water.
Brother Qu was the class monitor's surname. The class monitor was a Xian clansman, so his surname was " Qu." When he returned to his place, his comrades called him Brother Qu. Xing Lan still called him class monitor because he was used to it. Because Xing Lan was used to respect, because class monitor respected everyone.
The few people in the small room laughed and played. Xing Lan was very reluctant to leave. He thought about many things. If he was still in the army at this moment, would he not have so many troubles? Would he be able to be as happy as he was now?
"Kacha."
Xing Lan took another big bite of the apple as he was deep in thought. He knew that yesterday had already passed. Yesterday would never come back.
