On this day, Qiu Jun's premonition finally came true.
The premonition in Qiu Jun's mind was like a bubble under the sun, faintly disappearing and indistinct. Anyway, he could vaguely reappear what others couldn't sense.
The sky in the distance was blue. The strong sunlight was blocked by the tall buildings, casting a large shadow on the ground. This made the people who were rushing through the shadows feel a little comfortable. They didn't have to suffer the fierce barbecue of the sun. It was a very hot summer. The road was hot under the sun. People were almost unwilling to go out and only wanted to hide in the air-conditioned rooms to enjoy the cool.
Ever since Qiu Jun returned to Wei City, he had been missing Wu Yan. How nice would it be if I met her again on the road? If I did, I would never let her go. I would definitely ask for her phone number. However, when he thought about the first time he invited her to a bar and was rejected, he lost his confidence and courage.
He often hated himself for not having the courage at the critical moment and dropping the ball. He reflected on himself because he was afraid of being rejected. Being rejected was a failure. If he failed, it would hurt his self-esteem greatly. Then he would no longer have the courage to pursue it. That meant that he would lose it forever. It was better not to go too far and let things still have hope. Let things develop slowly and slowly transform.
He always blamed himself in his longing, fantasized about meeting him again in his resentment, worried in his waiting, and sublimated his emotions in his anxiety. Wu Yan had unknowingly become a familiar stranger in his heart. He remembered him every day. He placed his hands on his chest and closed his eyes to pray," God, I want to meet Wu Yan again."
He was even a little crazy.
Qiu Jun began to pay attention to the pedestrians on the road, hoping to find Wu Yan's figure in the crowd. There were a few times when he really did find him, but when he chased after him, it turned out that it wasn't him. It was just that his back was somewhat similar. His excitement turned into disappointment.
Qiu Jun thought to himself,'If the heavens let me meet Wu Yan again, then it's really the will of the heavens. I must be entangled with Wu Yan in this life. I must be…' What was it? He did not know either.
There was a red light ahead. Qiu Jun slammed on the brakes and stopped the car beside the zebra crossing. He stared at the people crossing the zebra crossing, trying to see Wu Yan among them.
It was as if he could smell that fragrance. The fragrance he had smelled that day at the Gold Coast in Australia. That fragrance had long been implanted in his chest.
A woman with shoulder-length hair carried a boy who was about three years old and hurriedly passed by his car. Her fair face had the smell of lilies, and her tall and thin body seemed to be struggling to walk. After crossing the road, she put down the little boy in her hand and held his small hand as they slowly walked along the road.
What a familiar face. She was Wu Yan. Qiu Jun's heart began to pound. That was the Wu Yan he had been thinking about day and night, the Wu Yan who had searched for her in his dreams thousands of times. But why was she bringing a little boy with her? Was she already married? Already a wife? A cruel thought popped up in his mind. If that was the case, he would never be able to have her again. He was struck by this cruel thought, and he was in so much pain that he wanted to die. Did she really have a child? He was in so much pain that he felt as if he had fallen from the sky into the sea. He fainted for a second.
Qiu Jun shifted his gaze to the little boy's face. His fair and round face was flushed, and his bright eyes were sparkling with a dark light. His small red mouth was moist and sparkling. He was wearing a white shirt and checkered shorts. He held Wu Yan's hand, and his two thick legs were firmly on the ground. His body was a little shaky.
Qiu Jun thought,"Wu Yan looks so young. He doesn't look like he can give birth to a boy that big. Maybe she's helping a friend look after the child." Thinking of this, his heart was filled with a trace of hope, and the pain in his heart immediately eased a lot.
At this moment, the red light turned green. The car behind him kept honking to urge him to start the car quickly. He had no choice but to drive over the zebra crossing and stop by the roadside.
However, when he got out of the car and looked around, Wu Yan had already disappeared from his sight. He looked around anxiously, but he still couldn't find her. He didn't know if she had entered the mall or the alley by the roadside. He ran into the alley hurriedly but couldn't find her. He returned to the mall but couldn't find her. He was dejected and his heart was heavy.
When he got home, he smashed his head with his fist. He grabbed the thing in front of him and smashed it to the ground. Regret was like a cannonball that bloomed in the distance. He had gone crazy just for that top-notch beauty he had only seen once.
He solemnly recalled the scene when he met Wu Yan. That time was around 5:30 p. m., which was when she got off work. If it was her child, she might have picked him up from work. If it was home, then her family was likely to live nearby. If it was shopping, oh, it was unlikely to bring a little burden to the mall. This meant that her family was likely to be nearby.
The fact that Wu Yan had a child was a heavy blow to Qiu Jun's heart. However, he still assumed that the little boy was not Wu Yan's. Perhaps Wu Yan was helping someone else take care of the child, or perhaps he was helping his brother take care of the child. He could only imagine this to comfort himself and make himself happy. However, no matter what, he was determined to ask her personally.
In order to run into Wu Yan again, he had been circling around the zebra crossing after work. He didn't drive so that he could appear in front of her in time. He thought that she would definitely take this road again, but she had been circling around for a week without seeing Wu Yan. He was disappointed again.
Qiu Jun gave up because he felt that his reasoning was wrong. Wu Yan might not live there. He just happened to pass by that place that day. However, he found that deep down, he was unwilling to give up. He always missed Wu Yan. Her face appeared in his mind countless times. She was so tenacious and struggling on her deathbed. He couldn't help but appear at the zebra crossing again. He circled around the area. Hard work paid off. He finally met Wu Yan by chance.
She was still holding the little boy's hand. The little boy swayed his body as he followed her. Her face was very pale, so pale that it was a little lacking in blood. Perhaps it was because of the fatigue of life.
Qiu Jun finally saw Wu Yan. His heart ached when he saw her. She was so young, yet she had to take care of a child so tiredly.
Qiu Jun went up to him, his heart pounding. What a coincidence! He pretended to be surprised, but his face was red, revealing all his nervousness.
Wu Yan raised his head and paused for a moment. There was a hint of joy in his surprised eyes." What a coincidence!"”
"I just passed by, eh? Is this your child?" This was the question he wanted to know the most. His voice was trembling because he was too nervous.
" Yes, Nan Nan, call me uncle." She lowered her head and said to the little boy.
" Hello, Uncle!" the boy called out in a baby-like voice.
The pure child's voice was like a club hitting his head, causing him to lose his hearing. He could no longer hear what they were saying. Five seconds later, his consciousness returned to normal.
He bent down and caressed the boy's hair." How cute. How old are you?”he asked calmly.
" Three," she answered.
"Do you live here?" Qiu Jun asked.
"No, my grandma lives here. When I work the day shift, I bring him home to live with me. I can't take care of him during the night shift, so I entrusted him to my mom.”she answered.
" Oh." He was silent for a moment. He didn't know what to say. She was clearly married. It was impossible for her to have anything to do with him. A wave of pain surged into his heart, causing his face to turn gray and a dark expression to appear on his face.
Wu Yan saw the gloom on his face and a baffling feeling welled up in his heart. She didn't know why his expression was so ugly in the blink of an eye. Could it be that she had said something wrong? "Goodbye, Uncle. I still have something to do.”she said with an embarrassed look.
Qiu Jun said goodbye to them as if he had just woken up from a dream. He looked at the shadow of Wu Yan's departure with a heavy heart. In the end, he still forgot to ask for her phone number. When he woke up from his dream, he remembered that she refused to accompany him to the bar for a drink. Could it be because she was already married?
The pain caused Qiu Jun to have a headache. He broke out in a cold sweat and felt suffocated.
Annoyed, he called Wang Gao to the nearby bar downstairs and poured glass after glass into his stomach, feeling depressed and silent.
"What's wrong with you today?" Wang Gao asked.”
"Do you know who I met today?”
Wang Gao raised his cup and swallowed a mouthful of wine.”
"Wu Yan!"
"The one you have a crush on? You like that girl?" Wang Gao asked.
" Yes, she's already married and has a boy. The child is already three years old. I saw her pull him away with my own eyes." Qiu Jun's eyes were filled with pain.
" That's a good thing. It saves you from always thinking about her. Cut the Gordian knot quickly," Wang Gao said.
Qiu Jun filled his wine cup and swallowed it all in one gulp.
Wang Gao continued," There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why do you have to suffer for a woman who doesn't belong to you? You're so beautiful. What kind of woman can't you find?" Don't think too much. God will always arrange one for you.”
" This is what the heavens have arranged for me. She made me wish I was dead. Whenever I think of her, my entire body feels cold. So, every time I think of her, I want to drink wine to warm my body, but I can't even drink wine to warm my body up." Qiu Jun said it very miserably. This made Wang Gao feel that love was a very painful thing. Wang Gao was secretly glad that he had never experienced such cruel pain.
" Don't be too stubborn. On the journey of life, whoever you meet and who you leave, it's like you're taking a public BUS. Some people get on the bus midway, and some get off the bus midway. Perhaps someone will accompany you to the end, or maybe not, but we still have to walk to the end alone and complete our lives alone. As for when those people get on the bus and get off the bus, it's something we can't control. Those people and things that have appeared or disappeared don't belong to us. We just came to this world naked and left naked, so we don't have to be persistent. Being persistent in things that don't belong to us will only make us suffer.”Wang Gao said this because he had learned it from his books and also to enlighten Qiu Jun.
Qiu Jun didn't say anything, drinking alone, and didn't force Wang Gao to toast with him.
Wang Gao saw that Qiu Jun did not speak, so he could only drink with him until Qiu Jun passed out drunk. Wang Gao said that he wanted to call a substitute driver, and Qiu Jun said, No need, I'll walk back myself. I live nearby."
" I live nearby too," Wang Gao said.
The two of them staggered home.
