Cloud Chaser Cemetery

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the convenience store seems to be sealed in the cracks of time, and there seems to be the sound of quicksand around the still picture, flowing through the dark rivers of time.

This reunion seemed absurd because it was too hasty, it was too much like a dream.

"Teacher Tang...?"

A crisp sound broke Tang Yuhui's stunned stupefaction. He turned his head and saw a somewhat familiar Tibetan boy looking at him with bright eyes.

Tang Yuhui stared blankly at the young man in front of him who was a little taller than him. After a long time, he said blankly, "Xiaojia...?"

The Tibetan boy smiled sweetly, "You still remember me, Teacher Tang!"

Tang Yuhui looked at him carefully for a while, then patted his head in a daze, showing a nostalgic smile, "You have grown so tall..."

Four years ago, in the dilapidated primary school, the boy who was put on the podium for the last class and turned away embarrassedly, but was given an extra piece of chalk, has grown into a tall man like a bamboo. The young boy, standing at the intersection of the bustling city, is no different from the way he is reciting his book against the wall in the plateau primary school in Changyun. Fear nothing, shake nothing.

Tang Yuhui rolled his eyes, "Why are you here?"

Xiaojia smiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "I have been admitted to Chengdu to study in high school. The tuition fee is free. Today is a holiday. Brother Ah Zhe specially came to see me."

Tang Yuhui paused, and finally turned back slowly, and looked at Kang Zhe again very slowly, only to find that he no longer knew when he was standing behind her.

"Oh..." Tang Yuhui said slowly, "Is that so..."

Xiaojia was very happy to see him. Now this tall boy is completely different from what he remembers, but when he smiles, he seems to still have the shadow of the shy little boy from before, "Teacher Tang, why are you here?"

Tang Yuhui glanced at Kang Zhe subconsciously, but found that Kang Zhe was looking at him from the beginning to the end, without looking away.

Tang Yuhui was filled with disgust for himself in an instant, and he said in a low voice, "I'm... temporarily... working here."

"Ah..." Xiaojia's eyes widened, "Teacher Tang, are you going to stay in Sichuan in the future? What about your family?"

Tang Yuhui was taken aback by the question, and just about to answer, Kang Zhe, who had been standing by the side, finally spoke——

His eyes remained unchanged, but his voice was deep, and he said to Tang Yuhui, "Have you eaten yet?"

Tang Yuhui was taken aback for a moment, but Kang Zhe took another step closer. Tang Yuhui stepped back subconsciously, and in the next second, the heavy oppressive feeling wrapped around him disappeared.

Kang Zhe casually turned up the corners of his mouth, smiled meaninglessly, and said to Tang Yuhui as if he was passing by and in a good mood: "Do you want to be together?"

Xiaojia also said enthusiastically beside him: "Yes, Teacher Tang! Let's go together! We haven't eaten yet."

Tang Yuhui raised his head, and his eyes met Kang Zhe's for the first time after the reunion.

He smiled lightly, "I've eaten, you go."

Although he has grown up a lot, Xiaojia is still a child after all, and the disappointment on his face can't hold back when he heard it, "Let's have another meal, Teacher Tang, I really didn't expect to meet you by such a coincidence, okay Rare!"

Tang Yuhui smiled and said, "I'm also very surprised. But I've really eaten it. Where do you study? The teacher will come to see you next time."

"Really?!" Little Jia immediately said happily, "I'm in No. [-] Middle School, Class No. [-], Senior One."

Tang Yuhui nodded and made a promise, but Xiaojia was still not reconciled, and still wanted to take Tang Yuhui to go with him.

Kang Zhe glanced at Tang Yuhui, patted Xiaojia on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Forget it after he has eaten, let's go."

Only then did Xiao Jia reluctantly let go of Tang Yuhui.

Looking at the backs of Kang Zhe and Xiaojia turning away, Tang Yuhui took a deep breath, moved his stiff body, and planned to leave as well.

However, the footsteps in front suddenly stopped, Kang Zhe turned his head, stood on a street corner stained blood red by the setting sun, smiled at Tang Yuhui and said, "Aren't you going to the convenience store?"

Tang Yuhui was taken aback for a moment, and his footsteps froze in place.Kang Zhe stood a few steps away from him, his eyes were full of mischief, cruelty, and something deeper and deeper, like looking at him from the ashes of four years, and across thousands of mountains and rivers.

The light around Kang Zhe dimmed so quickly again, the surrounding air became a chaotic and complicated solid, bit by bit it was about to oppress and defeat Tang Yuhui in his breathing.

Tang Yuhui felt that her eyes were sore, but finally she didn't shed tears.

I don't know how long it took before Kang Zhe showed a smile, vaguely, separated by a layer of iceberg mist, it was familiar, light and far away——

"You're really back."

Like all of Kang Che's unchanging habits, this is still not a question, but this time Kang Che's smile disappeared faster than his words.

Tang Yuhui watched Kang Zhe and Xiao Jia disappear at the intersection without moving, stood quietly for a while, and then walked away slowly.

Tang Yuhui did not reply to the message sent by Kang Zhe. He went to work as usual the next day, and his phone never rang again.

Thinking about it suddenly, that reunion was indeed like a short dream. If it wasn't for the fact that the news was left on the phone, Tang Yuhui couldn't find any traces to prove that Kang Che had approached him.

Forget it, I should have gone back anyway.Tang Yuhui thought.

If there are no accidents in life, time always passes quickly, especially for Tang Yuhui.

A few weeks later, Tang Yuhui, who had been busy all day, was suddenly stopped by the leader of the group when he got off work——

"Xiaotang, when do you plan to leave?"

Tang Yuhui was stunned, thought for a while and said, "Next week. I have to go back to school to go through some formalities and participate in the defense."

The leader patted him on the shoulder friendly, "It's okay, don't worry, just come back to work after you graduate successfully."

Tang Yuhui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you."

The leader looked at him with relief.Tang Yuhui is the newcomer with the best conditions that the company has recruited in the past few years. With Tang Yuhui's academic qualifications and scientific research achievements, he can get extremely generous treatment and benefits in any major factory or research institute.

But people with such a great aura finally came to a small branch like them that seemed a bit ordinary.In fact, this has always been something difficult for colleagues and leaders to understand.

Moreover, Tang Yuhui has excellent working ability, and he is also careful and down-to-earth.Interns have a lot of things to do, and the salary they get is low. Tang Yuhui is almost being squeezed as cheap labor, but he always works overtime without complaint, just like he doesn't care about how much time is used, and doesn't care if he has his own. Life.

Tang Yuhui, who had already fully adapted to life in Chengdu and almost forgot that he had been back to school for a while, thought about it for a while on the subway after get off work.

In fact, he has not formally signed a contract with the company, and it would not be very difficult for him to go back on his word now.

Tang Yuhui was so absorbed in his thoughts that he knocked his head on the handrail of the subway, and then he closed his eyes tiredly as if he had suddenly woken up.

Tang Yuhui planned to go to the convenience store again today, and the leader's words reminded him of some forgotten realities. Tang Yuhui was no longer in the mood to cook, and just wanted to buy some heated things and go back to make do with it.

And life is sometimes like a concrete absurdity, time has experienced a series of dramatic coincidences, and it seems to overlap inadvertently——

Tang Yuhui slowly lowered his head and walked towards the door of the convenience store, but was suddenly stopped by an outstretched hand.

Kang Zhe still had a cigarette in his mouth. After stopping Tang Yuhui, he took the cigarette down with his other hand.

He looked the same as he did a few weeks ago, and he looked the same as four years ago, and he didn't even look any different from the cloud in his memory or the wind in his memory from that day.

Tang Yuhui thought quietly, he will only pass away, but will never change.

In the paleness that seemed to have passed through years, Kang Zhe smiled faintly as usual, looked into Tang Yuhui's eyes, and said calmly: "Can I have a few words with you?"
