I wish you two lifetimes

The phone in his pocket suddenly started to vibrate, Wen Yanzhi picked it up helplessly, and after listening to the other party talk for a while, he glanced at Gu Yanran and replied "Yeah".

He hung up the phone and put the phone in his pocket.

It can be seen that Wen Yanzhi's face is not very good.

"What do you want?" Gu Yanran put the lantern on the ground, opened the brocade box, and took out the river lantern inside.

"Well, there is something at home." He saw her move a little bit.

"If you have something to do, go and do it first." She held the river lantern in her hand as if nothing happened, and smiled at him again.

In fact, she was still a little disappointed in her heart. She tried her best to hide it, not wanting him to see the clue.

Wen Yanzhi felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he had promised before, and now he broke his promise, but his father asked him to go back, so he had to go back.

She took off his scarf and folded it twice, "Return the scarf to you. It's too hot for me to wear. You can take it back, thank you."

She stuffed the scarf into his arms, then turned around, squatted down and put the river lantern on the ground.

It was clearly a very common sentence, but Wen Yanzhi at this moment could hear the unhappiness in her tone.

Is this a temper tantrum against him?
Wen Yanzhi couldn't help laughing, fearing that she would hear it, he coughed again to cover it up a bit.

"I'll take this lamp away first, and I will accompany you to put it on next year's Lantern Festival. Is that okay? I'm really sorry today." He held the brocade box and signaled that he would take it away.

"It's okay, if you have something to do, go quickly." She turned her head to look at him, and motioned him to leave quickly with her hands.

He nodded apologetically, turned and walked away quickly.

When his figure disappeared into the vast crowd, she turned her head and held up the river lantern at her feet.

A tear fell and hit the wick.

Next year, next year again...

That time you also said that you will be with me next year, how many people are there? Next year, after all, she in her previous life did not wait for the second year he said...

She wiped her tears with her hands, fumbled in her pocket for a while, took out a lighter, blocked the wind with her left hand, and lit the wick in the river lamp.

Gu Yanran couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Hmph, there's no time to put on a lamp, and it doesn't take much effort.

But after thinking about it, she is not his, how much weight does she have in his heart, besides, he has something to do, so he is a little unreasonable.

She sucked her sour nose and told herself not to think about him again.

She looked up and saw that several people were setting off river lanterns at the ports in front of her, and there were already sporadic candle lights flickering on the river.

Wen Yanzhi on the other side drove home half an hour later.

Seeing his car drive into the yard, the figure at the door hurried over and opened the car door for him.

"Sir, you're back." The butler stood by the car door and looked at Wen Yanzhi.

"What's the matter at home?" The phone only said that there was something urgent and asked him to go home quickly, but nothing else was said.

"Eh... this." He really couldn't say anything about it, he just went in and took a look.

Wen Yanzhi glanced at the butler, said nothing, and walked towards the gate. The servant at home was waiting for him at the gate, and took the coat he took off.

There were several men's conversations in the hall, mixed with female voices from time to time.

It was not a familiar voice, he frowned unhappily, and walked in anyway.

Seeing the voice from the hall, the people inside looked up at him, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Here we are, why is it so late."

"Some work to be done."

Wen Yan saw the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the sofa that resembled him three-pointedly, and then glanced at the people next to him.

Father Wen turned to look at the people next to him, smiled and said to him, "Come here, this is the Uncle Gu I told you about, and this is his daughter."

"Uncle Gu, Miss Gu." He walked over to say hello, but did not sit down.

Because of Gu Yanran, he was a little sensitive to Gu's surname. The person in front of him was obviously not the father of Gu Yanran he had met before. He felt that there was no need for other intimate conversations, but they were all insignificant people, other things Don't think too much about it.

This Mr. Gu's daughter came here, and she didn't need to think about it to know what was going on. Wen Yanzhi frowned invisibly, feeling displeased in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Your Uncle Gu's family just came back from abroad. They came here not long after they got home. You and Xinran haven't seen each other for more than ten years. You used to be classmates." Father Wen looked at the dignified and gentle Gu who was sitting beside him. Gladly, I am very satisfied.

"Gu Xinran?" He thought of Gu Yanran. Hearing the name, it seemed that they had some relationship with Gu Yanran, but he didn't ask.

Before Gu Xinran could say anything, he replied, "I don't remember."

Gu Xinran's heart jumped for joy when Wen Yanzhi called her name, but he couldn't remember a word, which made her feel a little uneasy.

She and Wen Yanzhi were classmates in elementary school, and Wen Yanzhi was very attractive to girls back then.

Now more than ten years have passed, and the years have sculpted him to be more stable, and his facial features have become more refined. Standing there, his feeling of aloofness and loneliness made her heart beat faster.

And Wen Yanzhi looked at the scene in front of him, and when he thought of Gu Yanran who had just been left behind by him, he felt restless.

Call him in a hurry without saying anything?
He glanced at his father, he really understood himself, if he told him the truth, no matter what, he would not come.

"Sorry, I still have something to do, let's take a step first, you can chat slowly, excuse me."

He didn't like the feeling of being at the mercy of someone, even if that person was his father.

He turned away.

"There are no rules at all." Seeing Wen Yanzhi hurried out, Father Wen was displeased, but there were outsiders, so he restrained his temper and just snorted coldly.

"It's normal for young people to be busy." Gu Shaodong smiled, he couldn't see that Wen Yanzhi's coming was not his intention, seeing him leave, to be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"They have their own ideas, and we don't understand at this age. We must be able to chat with each other." Wen's father glanced at Gu Xinran, "I will let Xiaowen accompany you to go out for a stroll, the changes here It’s quite big, and I’m sure I’m not familiar with it when I just came back.”

"Then thank you Uncle Wen first." Gu Xinran smiled, thinking of Wen Yanzhi made her feel even happier.

Wen Yan got in the car and drove the car towards the south of the city. At this point, the road was full of vehicles, and there were frequent traffic jams along the way.

He was a little irritable, and in the middle of the traffic jam, he took out his mobile phone, opened the chat history with Nie Yu'an, scrolled up, there was a mobile phone number, it belonged to Gu Yanran, and he pressed the dial button.

After calling several times but no one answered, he hung up the phone helplessly and threw it aside.

He was a little strange, he had only known Gu Yanran for two days, but now he actually cared about her a little bit, knowing that that woman would sometimes treat him as someone else, but he didn't alienate her because of this, it wasn't like him usually .

Isn't he treating other women the same as he treated Gu Xinran just now? Although it's not that he can't avoid them, he doesn't want to have too much interaction.

The cars in front lined up and moved slowly. When he drove the car to the south of the city, he found that there were more people on the street than before. When he returned to the river bank just now, there was no sign of Gu Yanran.

He looked around, walked down the street, and didn't see her at all.

Wen Yanzhi didn't know what he was looking forward to. He knew that after so long, she must be gone, but he ran over eagerly, even if he saw her, what would he say to her.

He walked back to the parking lot, sat in the car, opened the window, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and didn't move again.

After he left for something, Gu Yanran squatted at the river bank and fiddled with her river lantern. It was a bit windy outside, and it took a long time before she lit the wick.

She didn't put the river lantern into the water immediately, but just stared blankly at the candle flame swaying and dancing in the wind.

After the candle flame burned nearly a third of the candle, Gu Yanran picked up the river lantern and put it into the water. As soon as he put it down, the river lantern drifted away with the wind and water waves.

She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and said silently:
Here are three wishes: first, I wish my husband a thousand years; second, I wish my concubine a long and healthy life;

And you, see you every year...

Once upon a time, she might have made such a wish, but God told her to die with regret, and separated from him for life and death.

She believes in Buddhism, and she doesn't believe in Buddhism.

She opened her eyes and looked at the lanterns on both sides of the street, reflected on the river. Her river lantern got farther and farther away and merged with the waves.

She looked at it, lost focus, and all the scenes gradually blurred, leaving only a little bit of light...
