The movie was still playing, and the interlude was very soft, like a lover’s murmur.

When Huang Dan heard the whispers around him, he realized that the man had noticed something was wrong with his eyes. He pressed his light-colored lips together, loosened them, and then tightened them again. This subtle movement revealed his uneasiness.

“Lu Fei, don’t cry.”

Lu Fei covered his face with his hands, buried his head in his knees, and cried so hard that his whole body was shaking.

Huang Dan fumbled and touched the man’s hair. He touched it gently, “It’s just temporary. I’ll be fine. Don’t cry.”

Lu Fei’s throat was choked with sobs. One after another, his anger, sadness, and panic burst out in an instant. Despair grew in his heart. It exploded with a bang, and his internal organs were in unbearable throbbing pain.

Huang Dan could only hear the man’s suppressed cries in his ears, and he felt uncomfortable. He felt that this mission had a one-month deadline, and it was a hint given by San Ge to him that time was running out.

When the movie ended, the lovers pulled out themselves from the romance between the hero and heroine and walked outside with their significant other, talking and laughing.

The happy atmosphere skipped one point, and it was obvious that there was no unified treatment.

Lu Fei said hoarsely, “Give me your hand.”

Huang Dan touched the man’s arm and put his hand into his broad palm.

Lu Fei led him up and said, “Let’s go home.”

Huang Dan walked slowly, and every step he took was unfamiliar, as if the road under his feet was no longer the one he took when he came here, and was full of unknowns.

Lu Fei clasped the young man’s finger and said, “If you’re afraid, grab my hand tightly.”

Huang Dan said he was not afraid.

Lu Fei’s red eyes were full of pain, “Didn’t you say you were lucky? Is this what you call good luck?!”

Huang Dan said, “I am only temporarily blind. Compared with others, it is already very good.”

Lu Fei said, who wants you to compete with others?, “Why are you comparing yourself to others? Ji Shiyu, you have to get better for me, do you hear me?”

Huang Dan rubbed the sweat from the man’s palms and said, “I heard it.”

There were no obstacles around his feet, but he still stumbled uncontrollably.

There was a lot of noise around him, and Huang Dan heard the man’s voice coming from in front of him, with a domineering voice that could not be refused, “Come up.”

He reached out and touched the hard back.

Lu Fei urged.

Huang Dan lay down on the man’s back and put his arms around the other’s neck.

Lu Fei carried the young man on his back, “Be gentle, you want to strangle me?”

Huang Dan let go.

Lu Fei lost his temper again, “Why don’t you hug me? Do you want to fall down?”

Huang Dan said, “Lu Fei, calm down.”

Lu Fei gasped heavily, feeling a sweet feeling rising up in his gut, “Calm down? How do you want me to calm down? If I am the one who is blind, can you calm down?”

Huang Dan stopped talking. His lips touched the back of the man’s neck, leaving traces of comfort.

Lu Fei burst into tears.

One day, two days, three days…… Huang Dan’s vision did not recover. He understood that he was completely blind.

For him, being blind was a feeling he had never experienced before. The whole world was black, as if a light was broken. It might be repaired soon, or it might never be repaired.

In that black world, there was a voice accompanying Huang Dan, and there were hands holding him forward and giving him a warm embrace.

Lu Fei doesn’t go to the company and only wants to be his eyes and his hands and feet.

Huang Dan only lost sight at first, but later he also developed problems with his hands.

That night, Lu Fei took Huang Dan to the bathroom sink, squeezed out toothpaste and handed it to him. He stretched out his hand to take it, but found that he couldn’t control his hand.

Huang Dan called out in the dead silence, “Lu Fei.”

Lu Fei said hoarsely, “I’m here.”

Huang Dan’s eyelids moved, “Take me to the hospital tomorrow, ok?”

After Lu Fei affirmed, he raised the toothbrush and said, “Mrs. Lu, open your mouth.”

Huang Dan opened his mouth obediently, and the smell of mint rushed between his teeth. He let the man brush his teeth and said in a vague voice, “This is the first time I let someone brush my teeth.”

Lu Fei’s voice had a strong nasal sound, “This is also my first time brushing someone else’s teeth.”

He wiped the toothpaste foam from the corner of the young man’s mouth and said, “Mrs. Lu, your husband has never served anyone like this in his life.”

Huang Dan said, “I know.”

“It’s not enough to know. You have to remember it and don’t forget it.”

Lu Fei handed the mouthwash cup to the young man’s mouth and said, “Rinse your mouth.”

Huang Dan’s lips and teeth touched the rim of the cup, and he gargled, “I will always remember it.”

The corners of Lu Fei’s lips that were always suppressed curled up, “You know my goodness, right? How’s it? Are you touched?”

Huang Dan said in his heart that he had already moved the first time he heard it.

Sometimes, falling from heaven is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is falling into hell and the abyss.

Lu Fei got angry in the hospital. If Huang Dan hadn’t stopped him, he would have smashed the office.

Life and death are decided by fate, and cannot be forced.

No matter how hard Huang Dan exercised, he couldn’t control the symptoms caused by cerebral hemorrhage. He would wake up in the middle of the night and would feel relieved when he touched the one on his pillow.

Because Lu Fei had been smoking outside in the middle of the night for the past few days, smoking several packs a night without stopping, and he was committing suicide slowly.

It wasn’t until Huang Dan wanted to touch him at night that he stopped sneaking out to smoke.

Lu Fei went all over the world to find doctors and prescriptions for Huang Dan, hoping that he would live a little longer.

Huang Dan cooperated at all times. He was afraid that one day he would be unable to speak, so he always found something to say to the man.

Lu Fei saw this, and while he was nagging him, he responded, and his eyes turned red without even realizing it.

“You wake up every day and chat with me. Is there something wrong with your throat?”

Huang Dan said, “You forgot, I don’t feel any pain.”

Lu Fei cursed, “Damn it, who forgot? You don’t feel pain, you always have other feelings, right? Don’t fucking take yourself seriously, Ji Shiyu, you are mine, all of it!”

Huang Dan twitched his mouthed, “Okay, I’m yours, all yours.”

Lu Fei’s heart suddenly ached, and he couldn’t breathe because of the pain. He frowned and paced in front of the bed, then walked back, leaned over and pressed and bit the young man’s bloodless lips.

There was a drop of warm liquid on Huang Dan’s face. He reached out and touched the man’s wet eyes, “Crying?”

Lu Fei’s tongue went in, swept away the bitter medicinal taste in the young man’s mouth and swallowed it. He pressed his forehead against the young man and said solemnly, “I’m so angry with you.”

Huang Dan smiled at him, “Don’t be angry.”

Lu Fei made a vague sound in his throat, as if he was choking, “If you tell me to stop being angry, can I stop being angry?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fei pulled the young man up, holding his waist with one hand and holding his arm with the other, “Move around more and don’t lie down all the time. If you are obedient, then I won’t be angry.”

Huang Dan hummed, “I’m obedient.”

Lu Fei lowered his head and stared at the young man’s pale face. He smiled softly and gave him a warm smile, even if the other person couldn’t see it.

Seeing that it was already winter, but their son still didn’t come home, Father Lu and Mother Lu came looking for him.

As soon as they entered the hall, they noticed something was wrong.

The daily necessities at home were all for two people, but the kid was nowhere to be seen.

Mother Lu asked, “Where is he?”

Lu Fei said, “Sleep.”

“Sleeping in the room in broad daylight? Young but not motivated at all.”

Mother Lu looked at her son’s thin face and said, “What’s wrong with you? It’s only been so long, why are you so thin that you no longer look like you?”

Lu Fei didn’t respond.

Mother Lu stared at her son, “Even if you don’t tell, your parents will find out.”

She thought of something. There was a blood clot in the brain that was compressing the nerves. It wasn’t much better, but it could be unimaginably bad.

“Is the person paralyzed?”

Lu Fei wanted to bring tea, but his father stopped him and said, “Your mother is asking you a question!”

He said calmly, “Something like that.”

Father Lu and Mother Lu were shocked when they heard their son’s reply.

A paralyzed person is a disabled person who cannot take care of himself. Too many trivial things can make a person collapse. They couldn’t understand how their son could keep that kid in the house so calmly even though they were not related to each other.

“What are your plans? What about the operation? If you can do it, do it for him. The risk is high for sure. Even if the person dies on the operating table unfortunately, it is still better than suffering every day. No one should suffer that kind of torture. ”

Mother Lu said, “Even if he doesn’t want to, send him to the best hospital where professionals will take care of him.”

Lu Fei still had the same tone, “He’s not going anywhere, and will just stay here.”

Father Lu slapped the table, “What the hell are you talking about? Who do you think you are? You’re not a doctor or a nurse. Do you want a person with such an illness to live here? Do you want him to die early?”

Lu Fei said, “Dad, you and mom stop talking one after another about death. It sounds harsh to me.”

Father Lu felt panicked when he saw his son’s sunken eye sockets and so thin that he was about to become skin and bones.

there was a moment when Father Lu thought, forget it, as long as people survive, let them be together.

But who can guess what God is thinking?

Mother Lu exchanged glances with her husband, and the couple did not leave.

In the afternoon, Mother Lu waited for the opportunity. Taking advantage of her son’s entanglement with something, she immediately opened the door and walked into the bedroom.

Huang Dan’s eyes were closed, he couldn’t see, but ears could still hear, “Bomu, is that you?”

Mother Lu was surprised at his sensitivity, “Xiao Ji, I know everything about you.”

Huang Dan said nothing.

Mother Lu held his hand and asked, “What did the hospital say? How sure are you of having surgery?”

Huang Dan shook his head, “It can’t be done.”

Mother Lu said earnestly, “Why can’t it be done? Is it because the risk is too great and Lu Fei doesn’t agree with you? Or is it your own intention? Xiao Ji, even if the chance of the operation being successful is only 10%, it is better than you worsening like this.”

Huang Dan said, “I want to spend more time with him.”

Mother Lu’s patience was still there, “You should be very clear about your current state and how long you can last. If you continue to stay with him, it will only drag him down.”

Huang Dan said it more bluntly than she did, “I will not leave until I die.”

Mother Lu’s eyes widened, her patience disappeared in an instant, and she shook off the young man’s hand, “I thought you were naive before, but now I know that your selfishness is the most difficult area to deal with! You know you won’t live for long, then why are you dragging him along?”

Speaking of the latter, Mother Lu disregards her image and berates him. She lost her composure. She couldn’t see through this child’s heart. Isn’t love selfless? Isn’t it just as long as the other person is doing well? Why do you have to hold on to it?

While Huang Dan learned to be dependent in this world, he also learned to be selfish, pure selfishness.

He became unfamiliar to himself, but he couldn’t reject it, nor did he want to reject it.

“Bomu, I won’t let go.”

Mother Lu was so angry that she raised a hand and swung it at the young man’s face, but was caught and pushed away by Lu Fei who rushed in.

Lu Fei didn’t say anything, didn’t curse, didn’t get angry, he just looked at his mother with a look he had never shown before.

Mother Lu was heartbroken and slammed the door without looking back.

The room fell silent.

Huang Dan’s energy was very low. He asked softly, “Is it dark?”

Lu Fei glanced out the window, the sun was shining brightly, his throat rolled, “Mmm.”

Huang Dan said, “Why didn’t Pudding bark? It has to eat dinner.”

Lu Fei rubbed his hair and said, “There is dog food on the plate. He will eat it by himself when he is hungry.”

Huang Dan groaned and slowly fell asleep. He never mentioned the names of Lu Fei’s parents from beginning to end.

There was not much time left, and Huang Dan didn’t want to worry about other people’s affairs. He just wanted to stay in this world one more day and talk to the man more.

How fast time passed. Huang Dan only felt that it rained a few times and the wind blew a few nights, and he had a premonition of leaving.

At night Huang Dan said, “Lu Fei, I’m about to leave.”

Lu Fei rubbed his face, “Where to leave?”

Huang Dan said, “Leaving for good. Don’t look for me. I won’t be found.”

Lu Fei suddenly raised his head, his eyes were scarlet red, “Who the fuck said I want to look for you? Leave, ok? Leave quickly!”

Huang Dan said sadly, “I don’t want to leave.”

Lu Fei leaned his head on the young man’s chest listening to the beating of his heart, “You have no conscience….. Ji Shiyu, you are so heartless…… You said you don’t want to leave, so why are you giving up so easily?”

He grabbed the young man’s hand and put it to his lips, “I know you can’t hold on anymore, I know it all, Ji Shiyu, but hold on a little longer, I beg you, please……”

Huang Dan fell asleep.

The next day, Huang Dan lost perception on one side of his body.

It cleared up after the snow. From the outside, the castle looked gorgeous and spectacular, but no one knew that it looked like a tomb inside.

The most serious consequences still happened.

Huang Dan could not move his body, could not hear, see or speak, and had difficulty swallowing. Just his consciousness was awake.

Lu Fei’s mood became more and more violent. He destroyed his house into a mess, and squatted in the mess and cried bitterly.

No one scolded him, so he didn’t care.

Shiba Inu didn’t even dare to pass by Lu Fei, and stayed far away from him.

On New Year’s Eve, Father Lu and Mother Lu received a call from secretary Chen and knew that something big had happened. The two elders hurried over from home.

Secretary Chen told the story. It was nothing more than a life gone.

It took Mother Lu a long time to react, “Where is Lu Fei? Where is my son? Where is he?”

Secretary Chen said he’s upstairs.

Mother Lu stumbled up the stairs, and Father Lu caught her in time when she swayed, “Slow down.”

“The boss won’t open the door.”

Secretary Chen, who was following them, hesitated to speak, “He looks very abnormal.”

Mother Lu panicked, “What to be called abnormal?”

Secretary Chen recalled the scene not long ago, and her heart still felt cold. She brought several doctors over, and when they got here, the person was already dead.

But the boss insisted that the person in his arms was not dead and was still alive. He yelled loudly and looked like a madman at that time.

Taking a deep breath, Secretary Chen described what she saw.

When Mother Lu heard this, her whole body exploded. She turned to look at her husband, the corners of her wrinkled eyes were moist.

“The kid initially asked me to give him a year in a decent manner. I asked him to leave some time ago, but he refused. What does it mean now? Why does he want to harm our family when he can’t enjoy the blessings of his life? What’s the intention in the end? No, I want to go in and have a look.”

Mother Lu banged the door vigorously, trembling with anger, “Lu Fei, please open the door for mom!”

Father Lu sighed, “Why are you talking about this when the person is no longer here?”

“What do you mean? What do you mean by saying that?”

Mother Lu glared at him, “Didn’t you listen to Secretary Chen? My son doesn’t even look like a human anymore!”

Father Lu wiped his face and tried to speak several times but didn’t know what to say.

No matter how bad the child was, it can’t be blamed.

When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. It makes no difference whether we talk more or less about what happened during his lifetime.

Mother Lu paced back and forth outside the door, “Old Lu, although we were not satisfied with him, we didn’t really do anything to him. This was entirely his fate.”

Father Lu spoke, “You mean to say, this is also our son’s fate?”

Mother Lu suddenly lost her voice.

He only met someone he liked at the age of thirty, only to lose him as soon as he had him. All his hopes and plans turned into a pile of smoke and mirrors.

Person is not here anymore, so what’s the use of wishing more?

No one can withstand such a huge blow.

Lu Fei didn’t eat or drink, nor did he take care of the funeral affairs. He just locked himself in a room with a corpse.

Father Lu and Mother Lu didn’t go anywhere, just stood guard outside the door and kept talking to their son inside, voices became hoarse and the people fainted, and then woke up and continued to shout.

On the third day, the door opened.

It was not Lu Fei who opened it from the inside, but Father Lu who finally instigated the bodyguard to take turns kicking the door open with the other two.

The bodyguard committed a taboo and acted privately without the order of his employer. This is never allowed in the industry, but he had to be forced by the situation.

They were all tall and tough guys. When they saw the scene in the room, they gasped.

The employer, whose most of hairs had turned gray, was sitting on the bedside. The young man was lying in his arms, his head resting on his shoulder. He held him tightly, his eyes were empty, his face was deathly gray, and his whole body was shrouded in stench.

Anyone who saw it would feel that there was not one corpse on the bed, but two.

Father Lu’s eyes were bloodshot and he looked very old, “Your mom and I are not dead yet. You are tormenting yourself like this. Are you deliberately trying to kill your mom and me?”

Lu Fei didn’t respond.

Father Lu burst into tears, “Son, you don’t have enough affinity with Xiao Ji. It has nothing to do with you and him. This is God’s arrangement. You have to get over it, ok?”

Mother Lu was more ruthless than her husband. She had been angry, blaming and complaining outside the door. Now she didn’t want to say anything anymore, so she pointed at the corner of the table and said, “Lu Fei, if you don’t want your mom to be killed here, release Ji Shiyu’s body immediately!”

Father Lu grabbed his wife’s hand, “Even this time, why are you causing trouble?”

Mother Lu immediately broke away. She sneered, “My son is neither human nor ghost, and home is also not the same. What’s the point of living for me?”

“Dad, Mom, don’t disturb him.”

This was the first thing Lu Fei said after the young man left. His throat was so broken that every word contained the smell of blood.

Mother Lu hurriedly coaxed, “Okay, mom and your dad won’t quarrel anymore. You can put him down.”

Father Lu also echoed, “Son, put Xiao Ji down. His posture can be uncomfortable.”

After he finished speaking, he held his breath with his wife, hoping that his son would come out of his trance.

Son is still young and has a long way to go. He cannot just fall down like this.

A few minutes later, Lu Fei held the young man’s arm and put him down.

At this moment, two bodyguards came forward, one on each side restraining the employer.

Lu Fei was severely dehydrated and had been destroying his body functions in the past few days. He struggled a few times and passed out.

When Lu Fei woke up, his lover was buried underground, and all he could see was a cold tombstone.

Since then, Lu Fei has never shown an expression of despair. His life has become busy again. He eats and lives in the company. Anyone who looks at it feels that he is consuming his vitality and no longer wants to live.

Spring goes and autumn comes and spring comes back again. One year ends in a blink of an eye and a new year arrives in a blink of an eye.

If there are no people and things worth stopping, a year is just two words.

Zhang Yiming went to the company to find Lu Fei and looked at him across a huge desk, “Time flies so fast. More than four years have passed in the blink of an eye.”

Lu Fei organized the documents and threw them aside, “Is there a case?”

Zhang Yiming said no. He took a sip of coffee and smiled self-deprecatingly, “Didn’t I get shot last year? My waist was injured. My dad openly allowed me to continue working in the bureau, but secretly he didn’t let me do anything. Damn it, I’m a useless person.”

Lu Fei said, “He is doing it for your own good.”

“I know.”

Zhang Yiming put down the cup and held his forehead with his hand, “But I have hands and feet, so if I am left as a useless person, wouldn’t it be more uncomfortable than death?”

Lu Fei sat deeply in the leather chair, his face was covered with smoke, and his expression was blurry, “Isn’t there someone to take good care of?”

What good thing Zhang Yiming said, he blurted out, “I’m not Xiao Ji……”

The words came to an abrupt end. Zhang Yiming almost bit his tongue. He really wanted to slap himself in the face. He smiled stiffly and said, “Sorry.”

Lu Fei’s expression remained unchanged, as if the surname and the form of address were already unfamiliar to him and couldn’t remember it at all.

Seeing his old friend like this, Zhang Yiming not only didn’t feel relieved, but felt even more worried. He said in a hoarse voice, “Lu Fei, don’t hold anything in your heart. You will cause problems if you hold it in.”

Lu Fei flicked his cigarette into the ashtray and said casually, “What is there that I can hold it in?”

Zhang Yiming said, “Let’s have dinner together tonight. It’s been a long time since we had a table of feast together.”

Lu Fei rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Not tonight, I have a dinner party.”

“Forget it, let’s do it next time.”

Zhang Yiming patted his old friend on the shoulder, but didn’t say what he wanted to say. His words of comfort seemed pale back then, and even more ridiculous now.

Once it has existed, it will definitely leave its mark, which cannot be erased and can only be left to the gnawing of time.

One night in April of the same year, Lu Fei received a phone call from Zhang Yiming. He said on the phone, “Lu Fei, I don’t have a father anymore.”

Lu Fei looked at the time, it was three fifty in the morning, “What happened? Speak slowly.”

Zhang Yiming was incoherent, saying that his father fell down and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage but could not be rescued, “He even told me in the evening that he would cook some dishes tomorrow for me to try. Why is it so sudden? Lu Fei, it’s too sudden. I……I seem to be dreaming……”

Lu Fei was sitting on the bedside, with Zhang Yiming’s cry in his ears. He reached for the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and took a lighter to light it.

He once vowed to quit smoking, but now no one cares about him, so let’s just do it.

Lu Fei puffed away in silence, then lit another one after burning it. He did not comfort Zhang Yiming, because he knew that no one else could say anything at this time to fill his empty heart.

When it’s empty then it’s empty. Wind, rain, ice and frost will occupy every corner, but there won’t be an inch of sunshine.

New lives come into this world every moment, accompanied by expectations and laughter, and some people die, but there is only pain and tears.

The earth is always turning, and it will not stop for a minute or a second because of who is born or who leaves.

On the 13th, Lu Fei returned to China to attend the funeral of Zhang Yiming’s father.

The weather was bad, with violent winds and rains roaming the entire sky and earth. The trees around the cemetery were swaying wildly and would be dragged up to the sky at any time.

Lu Fei was wearing black clothes and black trousers, holding a black umbrella in his hand. He looked the same as before, with no missing nose or eyes, no arms or legs, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, just like in a cold pool, a piece of ice stone.

“Life has to go on.”

These words were not said to Zhang Yiming so much as to himself.

Zhang Yiming did not hold an umbrella. He knelt on his knees in front of the tombstone, his wet hair sticking to his white cheeks, and his body was extremely thin and washed down from the heavy rain.

“Yeah, life must go on.”

The death of the head of the Zhang family made Zhang Yiming look much older overnight. Standing together with Lu Feis, they were a pair of Xiongdi tortured by fate. Both were only in their thirties, and one of them had most of his hair gray, the other was so thin that he lost his shape.

That night, Lu Fei and Zhang Yiming were very drunk. They didn’t communicate with each other when they were drinking. They drank one cup at a time in a muffled voice. After drinking, they lay on the table and cried bitterly.

The person you love most has left, but you can’t do anything about it. You can only watch. It’s such a painful feeling.

But no matter how uncomfortable and desperate today is, the sun will still rise, set, and rise again tomorrow, day after day, so just keep going.

It will last until the end, and then life will end.

On the morning of September 1st, only the first glimmer of light of the day, and Lu Fei left home. He left a note to his parents, saying that he would go to look for Daguan High School, and that Ji Shiyu is waiting for him in class.

When Father Lu and Mother Lu came over and saw the note, they were shocked and speechless, their son went crazy. There was a nine-year age difference between him and that child. How could they be classmates? If it’s not madness then what is it?

Zhang Yiming rushed over after receiving a call from Father Lu and Mother Lu. He had no intention of asking anyone to find Lu Fei, but said, “Bofu and Bomu, Lu Fei has been living a life like a ghost in the past few years. He is no different from being dead except that he can breathe, so please let him go.”

(*Bofu= uncle, father’s elder brother)

Father Lu and Mother Lu were in tears.

Zhang Yiming felt a lump in his throat, but he endured it, and finally his eyes turned red, and he choked and said, “I will be your son from now on.”

After comforting the two old people, Zhang Yiming sat on the steps and smoked. He raised his head and looked up at the sky with a smile that had gone through many changes, “Lu Fei, don’t worry, I will take good care of your parents and do my best to make them live a good life in their later years.”

One year passed, and another year passed. Zhang Yiming accompanied the old couple and never saw Lu Fei again.

And where is Lu Fei? Maybe he is already dead, dead in a certain corner, lonely and sad, or maybe not dead, and is searching the world for the high school that appeared in his dream, Class 105, Grade 1. He crazily believes that as long as he walks into the classroom, he can see his lover sitting in the first row.

It is better to be crazy for a lifetime than to be sober.

******

When Huang Dan woke up, he was still lying on the small bed in the hospital, but the person who treated his wounds was not San Ge, but a nurse. His eyebrows knitted together, getting tighter and tighter.

The nurse looked up with a look of astonishment on her face, “Sir, why are you crying?”

Huang Dan closed his eyes tightly, tears wet his pale cheeks, his lips trembled slightly, his voice was hoarse, and he said with a clear cry, “I’m afraid of pain.”

The nurse was an intern. When she saw the young man crying in so much pain, she felt very guilty. She quickly apologized and relaxed the bandaging on her hands.

Huang Dan comforted, “It has nothing to do with you. You did a good job. It’s my own problem.”

The nurse’s tear point has been low since she was a child. This extremely beautiful gentleman did not complain at all and was still comforting her. Just a simple sentence made her nose sore. She took a deep breath and concentrated on continuing to bandage.

“All done.”

The nurse showed a friendly smile and said, “Sir, the wound should not be exposed to water for the time being. Pay more attention to rest and avoid eating spicy food. Try not to overexert this leg. I wish you a speedy recovery.”

Huang Dan sat up with the support of one hand on the bed, “Thank you.”

The nurse reminded Huang Dan to get tetanus, pay for anti-inflammatory drugs, and gave him the specific location.

At about 2:30, Huang Dan dragged his injured leg out of the hospital. The pain caused him to break out in cold sweats after such a short walk. He planned to drive home and lie down to rest instead of going to the party. He was in no mood and had no energy either.

It’s just one night and half a day that’s all, and not much happened for others, but Huang Dan has lived several lifetimes.

Every time he completely comes off the mission world and returns to the real world, Huang Dan will think about it, will there be another reunion? he did not know.

But at the same time, he can’t help but look forward to it.

What if there is further development? No one can tell for sure.

Huang Dan’s car was still parked at the supermarket. He stood in the taxi waiting area of the hospital, feeling a little upset.

Not long after, a taxi drove over, and a figure suddenly rushed forward from behind Huang Dan, opened the door without any pause and got in.

Huang Dan glanced indifferently and had no other reaction.

It is drizzling in the sky, carrying fine snow particles. The first snow of this winter has begun to appear, and it will greet everyone soon.

Huang Dan buttoned up his coat, holding the bag of medicine in one hand and putting the other in his pocket, his expression colder than winter rain.

The biting wind blew by, and Huang Dan narrowed his eyes in discomfort.

Another taxi came, but no one jumped the queue this time. Huang Dan got into the back seat and sneezed after giving his address.

The driver was a chatty person, and he started looking for something to talk to after the car left the hospital.

“Where are you from, young man? I think you don’t look well, are you sick? Ai! Don’t open the window, my heater is on, isn’t it?”

Huang Dan’s nose smelled of plastic, mixed with the smell of leather, and there was also the smell of cigarette smoke. He asked to open up a little and get some air.

The driver thought Huang Dan was motion sick and was afraid that he would vomit in the car, so he let him be, “The weather forecast is uncertain. It will be sunny in the morning, but the weather will change in the afternoon. It is better to wear thicker clothes when going out.”

Huang Dan had no intention of talking, so he said a few perfunctory words and then kept silent.

While waiting at the traffic light, the driver was listening to a radio program and chattering, saying that those who have cars these days don’t drive well, and those who walk don’t walk well. When they go out, their heads hang above their pants.

“Young man, are you feeling better? Close the window, my heating won’t work when it’s open.”

Huang Dan raised half of the window, and the smell in the cramped space instantly became turbid.

There was a car accident on the road he was going to cross, and the driver had to take a detour. He informed Huang Dan in advance to avoid misunderstandings because he had deliberately taken a detour.

Huang Dan asked casually, “Is the car accident serious?”

The driver turned the steering wheel, “It’s quite serious. I heard reports that five or six cars rear-ended the car, right under the viaduct.”

Huang Dan, “Oh.”

He asked no more questions, but he couldn’t stop the driver from speaking in front of him.

“Fortunately, no one was killed. They just have smashed heads, bumps on arms and legs and other external injuries.”

The driver smacked his lips, “While driving, you can’t answer calls, fall asleep, or chat with passengers. You have to concentrate, otherwise……”

Huang Dan interrupted, “Da Shu, you are talking continuously.”

The driver’s wrinkled face suddenly became embarrassed. He coughed twice and became quiet.

Huang Dan turned his head to look at the rapidly reversing scenery outside the car window. It was already blurry, but when it was washed away by the rain, it seemed to be broken into countless small dots, and nothing could be seen clearly.

After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped and the driver’s voice sounded, “Young man, we’re here.”

Huang Dan asked how much.

The driver said it was forty-six, “It’s lightly snowing.”

Huang Dan opened the sleeves of his coat and looked at his watch. The party started at three o’clock, and it was already ten past three. He took a one-hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and gave it to the driver.

“Whole? Don’t you have any change? Just wait a moment.”

The driver rummaged around for a while before collecting the change and handed it over, “Go slowly.”

Huang Dan got out of the car, head first in the snow.

Although it is just a small snowflake, when it hit his face, the coldness still made his scalp feel tight.

Huang Dan lowered his head to avoid the passers-by, and endured the pain as he walked towards the parking spot. He walked quickly, feeling blood oozing from the wound, and the pain became more and more intense.

After sitting in the car, Huang Dan exhaled heavily. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, face and neck. He felt that he was not in condition to go anywhere in this state.

Not sure what happened, but when Huang Dan was about to drive back the same way, he hesitated strangely. Since he had already left home and wasted so much time in the afternoon, there was nothing for him to do if went back, so why not accept the appointment?

Must go?

Huang Dan leaned back on the seat and rubbed his forehead, not willing to go. He received a call yesterday when he was about to get off work. The only old classmate he still had contact with said on the phone that he wanted to propose to his girlfriend at the party, hoping he could come over. He agreed.

Not long after entering the community, he inexplicably traveled through time. After returning home, he received a reminder call from his old classmate, telling him not to forget about the party. The other party seemed to care about whether he could be there.

The only friend he still had contact with proposed marriage and hoped that he could go and send blessings. Huang Dan put his hand on the steering wheel and knocked a few times casually. Just as he was thinking about something, his cell phone rang. The person who called was the same one he was thinking about.

The background at the other end was noisy, and Jiang Long’s voice was caught in it, rising much higher, “Huang Dan, where have you been? Not at the hotel, right? The location of the dinner has been temporarily changed, and we just moved over there.”

Huang Dan asked, “Changed?”

Jiang Long said that he had changed it to the hotel next to the school, “The hotel I booked is the one on the east side and it is love at first sight. You remember, right? We planned to go for a walk in the school first. It happened to snow again. We could take pictures of the snow scene. After that, we went to Class 105. Isn’t it winter vacation now? The classroom is empty, and the head teacher will also show up then.”

His tone was brisk, “I think the face of the head teacher who appeared at the window was my nightmare for three years in high school. Ai, Huang Dan, I still remember that you became the number one scholar in science. The look with tears in his eyes was just like that of his own son. Just like he was the top scorer in science, he knew you would come, so he was very happy, and even said he wanted to ask how you were doing.”

Head teacher? Huang Dan couldn’t remember anything, not at all. He said, “Are you ready for the proposal?”

Jiang Long smiled on the phone, “Of course, I prepared it a few months ago. I’m just waiting to give one from my family a surprise. You must come. I told everyone, you can dare and try not to come!”

Huang Dan lay on the steering wheel, “Is everyone there?”

Jiang Long said that’s right. He made an appointment with forty-five people in the class for the first time. He also said that there was still one person who hadn’t arrived, “I don’t mean to blame, but Huang Dan, you two made an appointment, right?”

Huang Dan was stunned, “We?”

Jiang Long said angrily, “Right, ah!, isn’t it just you and Chen Yue?”

Huang Dan was very unfamiliar with this name, “Who is Chen Yue?”

Jiang Long was silent for a long time before shouting, “Oh shit, you don’t, eh? You don’t even remember him? He was a well-known boss of ruffians then, ah! He was always sitting in the last row, smoking with his legs crossed.”

Huang Dan frowned, the boss of gangsters, is he that person? He just thought about it casually and didn’t take it seriously, “I have no impression.”

Jiang Long sighed, “It’s normal. You can’t even recognize everyone in the class.”

He became smug again, “Hehe, I’m the only one who has been able to stay in touch with you all these years. Everyone asks me how I did it, and I said we’re close friends. So you have to come, otherwise, Xiongdi, I would be put on the spot, it’s very embarrassing.”

Huang Dan said, “Let me check the navigation.”

Jiang Long rolled his eyes, “You have to look at the navigation to go to your alma mater. You’re really good at it. If it’s snowing, drive slower. Although I hope you can come quickly, safety comes first. We don’t race against time. I don’t have anything. I’ll ask others about Chen Yue’s contact information later, so that’s it, I’ll hang up now and let’s meet and chat.”

Huang Dan took off the earpod and pressed his temples. Forget it, let’s go and return soon.

On the way to school, Huang Dan received another call from Jiang Long. He parked the car on the side of the road and answered the call, “What’s it?”

Jiang Long said that someone had contacted Chen Yue, and the other party had a car accident, “It is said that a small piece of skin on his head has split. That guy’s luck is blazing and he is also famous now. Not only did he open a company abroad and own it, he is still a golden bachelor. A wave of women are talking about him. It seems that he returned to China this time for some acquisition. I heard that it was for his sweetheart. There are various theories. When the time comes to chat, I will ask more carefully. There are many people waiting to get close.”

Huang Dan was absent-minded and said, “Don’t talk about that.”

Jiang Long agreed, and before hanging up the phone, he shouted, “Huang Dan, Chen Yue is here, and you are the only one missing.”

Huang Dan pressed the call button and the phone rang the next second. It was Song Min calling. He was a little surprised and paused before answering, “Hello.”

Song Min asked, “Have you reached?”

Huang Dan said the dinner spot had changed, “I’m still on the way.”

Song Min said that there will be snow for the next few days, and if it rains heavily at night, it will be difficult to come back. It will be unsafe to drive, “Master, don’t go. There will be an opportunity to explain later. Your classmates will understand.”

Huang Dan said that he had already promised his classmates and would not miss the appointment, “I will pay attention to it. If it doesn’t work out, I will just stay in the hotel for one night.”

There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Huang Dan looked at the phone screen, the call was still going on. He frowned and waited for two or three minutes for a reply, “Okay.”

The sound without any emotion was followed by a series of beeps.

About twenty minutes later, Huang Dan’s car appeared in front of his alma mater. He lowered the window, and the cold wind wrapped in snowflakes rushed into the car, and was brutally blocked by the car window.

Huang Dan drove the car in. With the swing of the windshield wipers, the row of camphor trees in his field of vision became clear and blurry, blurred and clear again. As he drove further in, there were cars parked under the trees and beside the road, one in the east and the other in the west, sloppy and willful.

After parking the car, Huang Dan took out his right leg first, and then slowly lowered his injured left leg. He held the car door and got out, closing the door with his backhand. There was already a thin layer of white snow on the ground in front of him. There are still uncovered shoe prints on it, indicating how many people have stepped here not long ago.

Huang Dan took a breath. He stood in the snow for a long time before he found which building Class 105 was in, but he couldn’t remember whether it was on the second or third floor.

Entering the corridor, Huang Dan took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Long, asking which floor the class was on.

Jiang Long howled exaggeratedly on the other end, “Fourth floor, ancestors.”

Huang Dan was stunned for a moment, “Got it.”

Fourth floor? Why doesn’t he have any impression at all? Huang Dan held his forehead. There were too many people and things that he didn’t care about. If they didn’t leave a trace in his life, he couldn’t remember them.

Huang Dan climbed up one level at a time. When he reached the fourth floor, he was already sweating. He heard a chaotic sound. Some people were talking, some were laughing, and some were reciting texts. The strange thing was that those voices were all young.

A song floated out from the classroom at one end of the corridor and penetrated into Huang Dan’s ears. The sound quality was average and had a slight creaking sound. He didn’t know what the song was, but he could vaguely recognize the lyrics.

🎶

You cried and told me

things in fairy tale are lies

I can not be your prince

🎶

Realizing something, Huang Dan’s body froze suddenly. He turned around and strode to the corridor to look down. The hot wind was blowing against his face. There was not a single snowflake in the sky. There are trash cans in the parking area, and there are three or four rows of old and new bicycles.

It was not quiet downstairs, there were scattered students walking around, as if they appeared out of thin air, all wearing camouflage uniforms and yellow sneakers.

Huang Dan looked at himself. He was also wearing a camouflage uniform. The smell of sweat penetrated his nose and really made his temples swell.

Crossed again.

It’s not over yet.

Huang Dan’s hanging hand was shaking a little, and gradually the shaking became severe. He raised one hand and put it in his mouth and bit it. It hurt.

“San Ge? Are you there?”

No response.

Huang Dan called Mr. Lu again, but there was no response. He pursed his lips and said, “Mr. System?”

Still no response.

Huang Dan’s eyebrows wrinkled, what’s going on? He has indeed traveled through time, why are there no system workers to handle him? Is it delayed, or is there another reason?

🎶”I would like to become the angel you love in the fairy tale, open my hands which are turned into wings to protect you……” 🎶

The high-pitched singing made Huang Dan unable to think anymore. He walked forward step by step and found that his left leg moved freely, without pain, and his whole body was full of vitality that he should have at his age.

Huang Dan stood at the back door of Class 105. He turned around and looked inside, and saw youthful faces. All the boys and girls were wearing camouflage uniforms, swaying on their chairs as if their bones had been ripped out.

There is a desk on the left side of the back door. There is a boy who puts his legs on the desk. He lazily crosses his arms and leans back on the chair. His face is covered with a tattered copy of “Story Club”, the corners of his mouth raised in an arrogant manner, and he felt good about himself while singing.

Youth grew wings, flew far away, and then flew back, flew along the original trajectory to Huang Dan’s eyes.

Huang Dan returned to the end of the summer of his freshman year in high school and the first day of military training. His three years of high school life had just begun.
