Lin Li and "Mr. Ji" secretly interacted with their parents when they were in high school.

How many decades can there be in life? She has been a classmate with him for ten years, and she has been in love for ten years.

Among them, eight years of long-distance and transnational relationships, he is in Munich and she is in Shanghai, and they are both painful and happy with each other.

Lin Li couldn't guess what her boyfriend had left behind.

She had received many gifts from him, either expensive or affectionate...... But there had never been a gift that could make her so cramped and apprehensive as she was now.

The tavern owner arranged for Lin Li to sit in the VIP seat where "Mr. Ji" had sit, and took out a laptop and a CD that was quite old.

Lin Li turned on the computer and inserted the CD.

The "click" of the optical drive sounded, like a deep sigh from the old days.

Her boyfriend, no, the one he had when he was eighteen, clearly appeared on the screen.

He is still young, with a small flat haircut, wearing a cool black and white sweatshirt, with dimples on his face and a bright smile.

"Dear Mumu, how are you? Do you miss me? The eighteen-year-old boyfriend waved his hand at the camera, as if greeting Lin Li in the real world.

Lin Li was stunned.

"It's 13:14 on December 15, 2005," the boyfriend looked at his watch and pinched the time, "Mumu, happy birthday!" ”

Lin Li came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly.

"Although I have already said 'Happy Birthday' to you on the phone yesterday, I know that you will secretly cry your nose today."

He sighed depressedly, and then smiled: "Mu Mu don't cry, come on and study hard, I am here eagerly looking forward to you getting an offer from the Medical University of Munich." ”

Medical University of Munich......

In 2005, her boyfriend was sent by his family to Munich to learn the language. She was in her third year of high school in China and decided to get an offer from the University of Munich.

Unexpectedly, my grandmother fiercely objected: "You can study in any country, but you can't go to Germany!" ”

She did not give in and insisted on preparing for the language exam, but due to the death of her grandmother, she did not do well in the exam and was rejected by the University of Munich.

At this time, the eighteen-year-old boyfriend on the computer screen approached Jun's face with a smile, closed his eyes, and pursed his lips slightly: "Mumu, for our upcoming reunion, let's kiss one first." ”

The picture freezes.

The eighteen-year-old boyfriend is still in the torrent of time, forever staying at the moment of kissing her.

Lin Li thought that this was her "gift" and was about to turn off the computer, and the video automatically jumped to the next one, and her nineteen-year-old boyfriend appeared in the picture.

He has adapted to the life of studying abroad, his eyes have become persistent and determined, even if he only wears a wool knitted cardigan with a white shirt, he can't hide his natural handsomeness.

He coughed lightly, his tone subdued: "It's 13:14 on December 15, 2006. Mumu, how are you? Do you miss me? ”

For a long time, he didn't speak again.

Lin Li was stunned, remembering why he didn't continue. She had a fight with him the day before, and the quarrel was fierce.

The boyfriend shrugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly: "Mumu, you have to believe me...... I'm still a virgin, I'm still a virgin. ”

Lin Li pursed her lips and smiled.

The boyfriend looked around and lowered his voice: "My mother is really hateful, not only does she not agree with me going back to China to see you, but she also keeps introducing me to my girlfriend." That girl was also disgusting, pretending to be drunk and tricking me into sending her home...... I swear, I really didn't have anything to do with her. She undressed her, and I didn't even look at her, turned around and left. ”

His expression revealed a hint of annoyance: "You don't know, I had a quarrel with my mother." ”

"I made it very clear on the phone that she has no right to destroy my feelings, and she can't dismiss you lightly because of her family background. She will either accept a daughter-in-law who is excellent in all aspects, or she will lose a son who is in touch with her. ”

"Guess what my mom answered?"

"She sneered on the other end of the phone, 'Stinky boy, I don't send money to your bank/card/for three days, and you immediately cry and say that only mom is good in the world.'" ”

"My mom was so mean to me, I can't imagine how hard she spoke to you."

The boyfriend said this, and was silent again.

After a while, he raised his lips and smiled, and waved his hand at the camera: "Mumu, my dad likes you very much, don't be sad, be cheerful and confident, okay?" ”

Lin Li's eyes were quietly covered with tears.

She didn't cry, she wasn't sad, her eyes stared at the computer screen without blinking, watching her boyfriend grow from nineteen to twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two......

Finally, it's the twenty-six-year-old boyfriend.

Eight years passed in the blink of an eye, and the boy faded into a gentle and cheerful mature man.

He was wearing a dark suit with simple lines, a smile on the corners of his lips, two dimples on his cheeks faintly visible, and he poured out slowly in a beautiful voice.

"It's 13:14 on December 15, 2013."

"Dear Mumu, how are you? Do you miss me? ”

Lin Li shook his head and couldn't help but reply in a low voice: "It's not good, I'm not having a good time at all." What about you? ”

"I've been so busy lately that I can't squeeze in time, and I almost can't get here." The boyfriend said with a tacit understanding, "Mumu, even if you don't admit it, I know that you haven't been happy in the past few years." ”

"First your grandmother's opposition, then my mother's obstruction, and I did not return to my country after completing my studies, but stayed in Munich and worked for two years at my father's behest of him."

"You didn't answer my phone a few times, but you actually wanted to break up with me, right?"

The complicated feelings pressed heavily on his heart, Lin Li's eyes turned red for a moment, and his voice choked: "No, I don't." ”

The boyfriend asked, "Mumu, how long have we been apart?" ”

Lin Li responded: "Ten years." ”

"Eight years, we've been apart for eight whole years." He sighed, "Do you remember when I recommended you to watch a romance movie?" There is a line in it that I remember very well......"

"What would happen to me if you weren't with me? It's like the eyes are familiar with the darkness, and when you open your eyes, you still see darkness. Lin Li muttered.

The boyfriend in the video was silent for a long time: "Lin Li." ”

In reality, Lin Li held his breath and replied to him: "I'm here." ”

"My eyes have been looking at the darkness for a long time, and they want to find the light, and you are my light."

"I record a video every year, and I don't want to show it to you, just for myself. However, I don't know when it began, I hope more and more that you can see these images, not to move you, but to hope that when we are finally together after ups and downs, we can count the past together, and frankly say that each other is the choice that each other regrets the most. ”

He paused for a moment and asked gently, "Lin Li, will you marry me?" I will love you for the rest of my life. ”

"How long is a lifetime?" Lin Li said in a hoarse voice, tears rolling in his eyes. She didn't ask this question when he proposed, but now she does.

He didn't answer.

The picture freezes silently, and all images stop at this moment.

The tavern owner walked over and patted Lin Li's shoulder gently, revealing a worried look: "Did Mr. Ji have an accident?" ”

Lin Li did not deny it, nor did he admit it.

She put on a wide-brimmed hat, pulled it down to cover most of her face, and stood up with the computer in one hand and the edge of the desk in the other.

The tavernkeeper was quick to hold her.

She said "thank you", lowered her head and walked out, and when she was about to walk out of the tavern, she said in a dumb voice: "Mr. Ji did have an accident." ”

There is also the second half of the sentence, and she can't sue the tavern owner. The accident was caused by her.

Without looking back, she walked out of the tavern, past the art sculptures, on the cobblestone rolling pavement, all the way on, aimlessly.

The past, one scene after another, rushed to the face.

He wrote in a diary.

Ballads that he recommends.

The poem he read when he proposed to her was a rather romantic love poem: Goethe's "Lovers by Your Side".

Now she came, came to Munich, drank the wine he had drunk, walked the roads he had walked, seen the scenery he had seen, but he was not with her.

As she walked through the narrow alley, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old couple of Chinese students passed by her.

The boy held the girl's hand, and the girl's clear gaze stayed on the bright red lips under her wide-brimmed hat, and suddenly turned her head and said to the boy: "It's Chanel's latest season lip gloss." ”

"Do you like it?"

"Uh-huh!"

"I'll save up to buy it for you."

When Lin Li heard the boy's answer, he suddenly stopped and looked back.

At a glance, I couldn't take my eyes off their bright and bright smiles.

She didn't know how long she had been staring at them, maybe for a long time, maybe just for a moment. Then, silently, she turned around and walked on, reaching out her left hand and gently pulling down the brim of her hat.

Warm tears silently burst out of his eyes and fell on the scar on his left wrist.

……

"What would happen to me if you weren't with me?"

"It's like the eyes are familiar with the darkness, and when you open your eyes, you see the darkness."
