May there be no time to turn back

A stack of brand-new pink banknotes was scattered out first, covering the table in a full layer.Chang He was dumbfounded, gathered them into a pile and put them aside, and unfolded the letter paper.

A lot of greetings and longings were densely written in the letter, all in Gong Yaochen's unique tone. At the end, he mentioned the money, emphatically stating that it was the money repaid to Chang He and Tang Feng.Gong Yaochen also expressed quite proudly that although he can only make up a small part now, he is still working hard to make money. One day, he will settle everything exactly.

"This brat," Chang He grinned, his brows and eyes filled with relief, "he's really good at it."

She put down the letter, got up from the armchair, and looked down at the bustling city through the floor-to-ceiling windows, imagining what the streets of Hong Kong would be like at this moment.

The morning sun shines warmly into Changhe's eyes, creating a bright halo between the buildings.Matchbox-sized vehicles came and went on the road, and the field of vision looked like a huge toy house.

Someone knocked on the door.

Chang He responded, and a capable woman with the appearance of a secretary leaned in and said, "Mr. Chang, there is a gentleman outside who wants to see you, but he doesn't have an appointment."

"It's okay, let him come in." Chang He slowly left the window and sat back at the table.There is no urgent matter to be dealt with at hand, Chang He is rarely at leisure, so there is no need to decline the visit.

She reached out and swept all the banknotes into the drawer, and when she looked up, she saw a pair of shiny leather shoes had appeared at the door.

Chang He immediately put on a formulaic smile and sat upright, crossing his fingers and lightly placing them on the table.

The person who came was not in a hurry to approach, but just stood there quietly, silent, and seemed to be hesitating for something, refusing to go forward.

Chang He had doubts. She looked at the well-fitting suit in front of her. She had an extraordinary demeanor and a gentle, soft and harmless temperature.

The gaze continued to meander upwards, and finally stopped at the visitor's face.

That face carried a familiar look, with a humble and polite expression, revealing the profound cultivation unique to the literary and art world.A pair of clear eyes are silently surging up with turbulent waves, slapping in the eyes, shaking out the vigorous emotions that have accumulated for a long time.

A huge impact hit Chang He's heart, as if caught off guard by an earth-shattering tsunami, Chang He's polite and polite manner suddenly collapsed.

Chang He's astonished and distorted face was reflected in those eyes, memories of the past gurgling in them, the pages of the dusty old days were abruptly lifted, and the thick grime was lifted to reveal the bright colors of the past.

Even after being away for many years, Chang He's eyes are still red with mixed feelings.She tightly pursed her lips to hold back the flood of tears, and was almost choked up for a while.

She stared at him intently, and walked forward slowly.I dare not speed up my pace, lest this is a dream, and it will be disillusioned in an instant.

Chang He's vision became more and more blurred. She stumbled and stretched out her hand in the direction of that person, expecting to be held in a warm and dry wide palm, just like before.

"Hey, wake up, don't sleep." Cao Jiayang gently shook Tian Ge's shoulder.

Tian Ge smacked his lips with unrestrained interest, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Cao Jiayang was leaning on the driver's seat with his head propped up, looking at him involuntarily.

"Did you dream that you ate or something, and your face was drooling." Cao Jiayang laughed.

Tian Ge hurriedly rubbed his chin, and it was really wet.

"Hey, don't laugh!" Tian Ge blushed and blamed, and adjusted the flat seat.

Outside the car window is the verdant greenery, and the sound of cicadas can be heard endlessly.There was a dark tunnel mouth ahead, and above it a train rumbled by on the rails, throwing a cool breeze.

Cao Jiayang stretched his waist to relax his muscles and bones, and then started the engine: "Enough of the rest, let's continue to go~ There is still a long way to the destination." The electronic navigation prompts the road condition information, and the clear voice chatters endlessly.

"Why is it so far away, I can't stand it!" Tian Ge protested annoyedly, pouting at Cao Jiayang like a baby.

Cao Jiayang smiled unhurriedly: "It's a lot of fun to travel independently. When I take you to discover them one by one, you will definitely fall in love with this trip. I can guarantee that this year's wedding anniversary will also be very exciting!"

Tian Ge looked forward through the windshield, and the lush leaves rustled softly, and the clusters of brocade flowers sent a pleasant fragrance.Just now, in this picturesque and charming scenery, it seemed that he had had a dream that heralded a happy ending, but after waking up, Tian Ge no longer remembered anything.

Cao Jiayang drove into the long tunnel, and Tian Ge's eyes fell into darkness.At the top of the tunnel are two rows of orange-yellow lights that flash across the windshield in blurred beams.

"Hey, you said that handsome friend of yours traveled abroad with his family, where did he go?" Cao Jiayang asked Tian Ge curiously when he slowed down and turned around the curve.

"Fairbanks."

"Oh..." Cao Jiayang thought for a moment, "Is it the city in the United States where you can see the aurora?"

Tian Ge nodded, thinking that the small souvenirs that Guan Xiao brought back were still adorned in the bookcase at home.

The decoration was picked up by a little girl on tiptoe from the assortment of gift shelves, and the curly English reflected a beautiful luster.

"Dad! I like this!" The little girl smiled nicely, and ran towards a couple who were mailing postcards in front of the counter holding the ornaments high.

Guan Xiao turned around upon hearing the sound, patting the little girl's head lovingly.He took the same decoration that he had bought many years ago in his hand, and the long past came out in his mind.

Two years after Tian Ge's extravagant wedding ended, Guan Xiao also obeyed his mother's wish and married Yin Xiaolu, a wealthy daughter of the same family.Although she has a rich family like Guan Xiao, Yin Xiaolu does not have the savage and domineering temper that is common to chaebol ladies. Instead, she has a gentle and elegant personality, is well-educated, and is a rare and virtuous wife.After marriage, she also vigorously supported her husband's career and assisted Guan Xiao to reach a broader height.

The daughter was born a year later, adding new joy to the family.The harmonious and happy marriage of the two families of Guan Yin has gradually become a well-known role model in the industry and has been widely praised.

"Then let Dad give you a gift, okay?" Yin Xiaolu said with a smile.

"Wow, wow!" The little girl jumped up and down happily, "This is my seventh birthday present!"

Yin Xiaolu and Guan Xiao smiled at each other, their eyes were full of happiness.

"I'll take Xuanxuan to buy milk tea, what do you want?" Walking out of the gift shop, Yin Xiaolu pointed to the dessert station next door and asked Guan Xiao.There is not a short line outside the window of the dessert station, which seems to be very popular.

Guan Xiao looked at the huge poster in the window, on which the newly-launched products were prominently drawn, which was hot and realistic, making it extremely attractive.

"Hot chocolate and double pudding," he blurted out.

Yin Xiaolu frowned, and said with distaste half-jokingly: "How old is it, why does it taste so weird? Don't you think it's too sweet?" Then she added, "If it's not available in the store, I can just buy it."

"There will be." Guan Xiao said with a faint smile.Yin Xiaolu gave him a puzzled look, took her daughter Xuanxuan's little hand, and stood at the end of the line.

Guan Xiao looked around this long-lost street. Compared with the cold and lonely years ago, today's passenger flow has increased significantly.He subconsciously leaned over the crowd and looked at the street corner where Bai Zijian accidentally broke his wrist. There stood a slender man, concentrating on adjusting the DSLR in his hand. The pitch-black lens was long and heavy. It can be seen that it is obviously worth a lot of money.

Guan Xiao suddenly felt a violent suffocation as if his throat was strangled, and he was dumbfounded.The crowd surged back and forth in front of his eyes like sticky pool water, even so, he still recognized it in an instant.It's Bai Zijian, he can't be wrong.

His face was still delicate and thin, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, showing a bit of vicissitudes.On his chin was a not-so-thick beard, cut in a neat and tidy shape.His eyes were scorching and clear, but somehow there was an air of loneliness.

Guan Xiao had mixed feelings, and his heart ached so badly that he could hardly stand still.And Bai Zijian didn't seem to notice the fiery gaze from the other side of the crowd, but raised the camera slightly higher, as if looking at a photo.

Why do first encounters always bring heart-breaking parting, and inadvertent reunions after parting are always so heart-wrenching?

"Father! This is yours!" Xuanxuan ran over, holding a glass of drink high in her hand.

Guan Xiao took Reqiao and pushed away the rim of the paper cup, regardless of the hot temperature, he poured a breath on his back, tears streaming down his cheeks immediately.

"Father, why are you crying?" Xuan Xuan raised her head and asked doubtfully.

"It's okay," Guan Xiao wiped his face indiscriminately, and choked up, "Dad drank too impatiently, it hurts." There was a strong nasal voice between the words.

"Then drink slowly." Xuanxuan worriedly took Guan Xiao's hand and instructed.

What filled Guan Xiao's mouth was still the original taste, which was so sweet that he couldn't stop it.It's just that the person who is by my side now will never be the original person.

I promised you that I will never see you in this life.So I have no right to disturb your life at all.Today, I can't even do the lightest greetings.

So Guan Xiao swallowed the pain, held back the tears in his eyes, pretended to be calm and gave Xuan Xuan a smile, but his trembling hands betrayed the violent ups and downs in his heart.

Yin Xiaolu walked over with Xuanxuan's milk tea, Xuanxuan happily took the hands of her parents, and the family of three walked away slowly in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Only then did Bai Zijian move his eyes away from the DSLR, and stared blankly at the corner where Guan Xiao disappeared.In the frozen photo, there is Guan Xiao's sad face staring affectionately.

Time ticks, every second is born and dies suddenly, the memory of the past accumulates thicker and thicker, and the road under the feet is slowly approaching the end.Since these years are painful, it is better to throw them all away, to complete a bleak paleness, which cannot be nostalgic or cherished, and without exception, avoid the unforgettable sadness.

That's all.

The heaven and the earth are separated from sorrow, wanting to speak, and the river flows away under the smoky moonlight; who knows if you stay alone every night, may there be no years to turn back.
