It's been about a week since that call.That was the first time Yu Qing spoke to Tan Zhuo on the phone in so many years.Just four words: mourning and resignation.

After finishing the funeral, Tan Zhuo appeared at the gate of University A.

Yu Qing's eyesight is not good, but Tan Zhuo saw him walking out of school with books from a distance.He walked on the school's boulevard with a book, and occasionally greeted the students with a smile.Tranquil as if not experienced years of washing.Just like when he was 17 years old, when he came into view - indifferent and pure.

Yu Qing was somewhat surprised to see Tan Zhuo.Tan Zhuo kept a polite distance and said, "Let's have a meal together!"

He knew that Yu Qing would agree, even if he didn't before, but today he will definitely.Ten years, he will not be wrong.

The driver took the two to a restaurant on the outskirts of the city, which was their most frequented restaurant in the UK.The restaurant was so famous that it later opened branches all over the world.Hong Kong City is naturally among them.

The entire restaurant is housed in a glass house surrounded by lush greenery.Through the clear glass, it will make you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle.The clean and light gauze white curtains are matched with the white-based layout, which is both natural and fresh, but also pure and clean.

Tan Zhuo sat in front of Yu Qing, with that kind of spontaneous liking overflowing from the bottom of her heart.

In fact, people's memory of a person will be blurred.

What you remember, is more of how it felt at the time.And the appearance of that person at that time in the memory will appear with the same face.That look is often the look when you love him the most.

Although it will become blurred, it is the most beautiful look.

So, many times.When we meet again, it is often not necessarily the same as in memory, it is a beautiful appearance that amazed the time.On the contrary, it is often disappointing.

But he hasn't changed at all.

It doesn't matter if you are teaching the children to write in the orphanage, or sitting quietly across from me at this moment.

He has never changed.

The waiter soon delivered a series of exquisite dishes, all of which were Yu Qing's previous favorites.This is Tan Zhuo's style of doing things. He is always fully prepared and everything is arranged in an orderly manner.A gentleman is somewhat authoritarian.

It was as if he knew that Yu Qing would agree to come to eat with him; it was as if he felt that even after so many years, Yu Qing's taste would not change a bit; it was as if what he thought was right must be right.

It was as if he felt that he and Yu Qing were still lovers.

"The vines we planted together in the manor have grown luxuriantly. I asked the gardener to build and maintain it according to your design. It looks exactly like the picture."

"By the way, last year was the 60th anniversary of the school. I went back and looked, and Mr. Warren was still the same. He was so fat that he needed someone to hold the chair when he stood up from the chair. He asked me about you, and I said you He is surprised to be teaching in Hong Kong now. Then he shook his head and said his famous saying: Unbelievable!"

Yu Qing didn't speak, just listened to Tan Zhuo talking with a smile.

"Are you going to the orphanage this Saturday?"

As he spoke, Tan Zhuo picked up a small piece of foie gras and put it in his mouth.She looked at Yu Qing, waiting for his answer.

"I won't go this week, I will fly to the mainland tomorrow night."

Tan Zhuo nodded, then said:

"There will be David Benson's art exhibition next week. I bought a ticket. I will pick you up at the gate of your school then."

"Matthew." Yu Qing interrupted him, "There is no possibility between me and you."

Tan Zhuo took a sip of red wine and looked at Yu Qing leisurely.said:

"I have filed for divorce, and it will take some time for the property to be divided. In about a week, the divorce agreement will take effect."

The breeze blew through the wind chimes on the porch, making a tinkling sound.Accompanied by Tan Zhuo's understated tone, it was as insignificant as changing a carpet.

Yes, to Yu Qing, it was really insignificant.

"You don't have to tell me that."

As if knowing Yu Qing's answer, Tan Zhuo wiped the non-existent stain on his mouth with a napkin.

"Can a child give you a future?"

Although it was a questioning speech, there was no questioning tone in his sentence.It's just that the last three words, which were deliberately emphasized, seemed particularly harsh.

Yu Qing looked at Tan Zhuo, waiting for him to continue.

"No one in this world knows you better than me. I always know what you want. In the past few years, all I have done is to fulfill the promise between us one day."

This is an answer that doesn't answer the question, and Yu Qing seems to have never heard Tan Zhuo's words.He said to himself:

"I read a good book recently, "Sunday in August". If you are interested, you can read it."

Tan Zhuo still remembers the scene of seeing Yu Qing in the orphanage, but it took only a year.The one who calls himself Mr. Tan can call himself Matthew calmly.

Tan Zhuo felt a sense of frustration for the first time at this moment, and it was from Yu Qing.Even if it is hatred, it at least proves that he is different in his heart.It proves that everything in the past still matters to him.

But now, his tone was like addressing an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.Neither close nor alienated, with a polite smile, talking about irrelevant topics.

If nothing happened, it turned out to be the most ruthless revenge.

Tan Zhuo took a sip of the red wine, hiding this extremely unpleasant emotion mixed with a strong sourness in his elegant smile, and mixed it into his blood.

"Oh? I'll take a look when I'm free." Tan Zhuo said.

A seemingly uneventful dinner ended in a mediocre chat, and Tan Zhuo did not mention any past between them.It wasn't until she stepped into the door of the apartment and heard the sound of the engine of his car driving away that Yu Qing was really relieved.

It's easy to break the past, but it's not as easy as you think to face the person who once made you unforgettable.

Picking up the phone, Yu Qing dialed Yi Lin's number.It took a long time for the phone to be picked up, and the sound of loud music and Yi Lin's emotional voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is work done today?" Yu Qing asked.

"Teacher, what are you talking about? It's so noisy here that I can't hear you clearly." Yi Lin shouted loudly on the other end of the phone.

"University A is on holiday. I booked a ticket for tomorrow night..." Yu Qing said.

Yi Lin interrupted Yu Qing, and said loudly on the other end of the phone with some difficulty:

"Teacher, I can't hear you clearly. I'll call you later."

"Ah."

"Teacher bye-bye!"

Before he could answer, he heard a girl's urging voice from the other end of the phone.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The phone was hung up, and the beeping sound from the handset seemed extraordinarily lonely after the noise.

Yu Qing didn't turn on the lights at home, but walked to the balcony by the moonlight outside the window.The night breeze in early summer is slightly cool.

Looking at the warm lights lit up by every house not far away, Yu Qing suddenly felt a little lonely.I haven't felt that kind of loneliness for a long time.

'Can that child give you a future? '

Tan Zhuo's words were clearly in his ears.

child……

Indeed, children.I am already in my thirties, and Yi Lin is only 22 years old this year.I have also passed through 22, and Yu Qing understands that the word "future" (double quotation marks) is not a concept for herself and Yi Lin.

A 22-year-old with unrealistic fantasies about the future.But now Yu Qing began to see the trajectory of life a little bit clearly.

Yu Qing is clear about this truth, from the very beginning.

At that time, I willfully accepted this feeling according to my own state of mind.I didn't even think about the so-called future, I just felt that I wanted to be with him at this moment.

But when this feeling became stronger and stronger, the uneasy feeling unconsciously made people feel insecure.The deeper the love, the more afraid of losing.It turns out that this sense of insecurity is the same in any relationship.

future......

Yi Lin, will you always be with me in the future?
