Four years is not a short time, a period of college, a short hair to grow again, a love takes root, Xiao Gao and Yun Jin have been together for a long time, and Qin Ge has also found a partner through a blind date, and is preparing to talk about marriage, Xiao Qi has also traveled to study abroad.

The city of H has changed dramatically, with high-rise buildings rising from the ground, more and more foreign companies settling here, and the economy developing at the speed of light, from a small second- and third-tier city that does not enter the flow to a rising star.

Today is Qin Ge's big day, Xiao Xubai deliberately took the company's leave to support him, the bride is a few years younger than him, a sweet and lovely girl, the two of them standing together is the match of Lori and the uncle, because this was also coaxed by everyone to say that it was a kidnapping of a little girl, Qin Ge did not deny it, picked up the wine glass and stretched his neck and drank it all in two sips, stopping their words, a group of people began to fight for wine, staring at the bride anxiously, handing him water and patting his back, and screaming with envy of a group of single dogs, pouring it even harder.

She hasn't drunk much after all these years of work, and after three or two glasses, she became drunk, holding her forehead and rubbing her eyebrows, Qin Ge had already taken the bride to this table.

"Mr. Xiao, I respect you for this cup, the grace of knowing is unforgettable"

Qin Ge has been very calm over the years, and today he has a little youthful spirit, wearing a suit and leather shoes, full of energy, although his steps are vain, but his eyes are still firm and clear.

Xiao Xubai stood up and touched him, and drank it all.

When it was the bride's turn to entertain the guests, the little girl was obviously a little shy, especially after hearing that this was his top boss, she was even more nervous, and she only spit out a sentence after Xiao Xubai's clear eyes for a long time.

"I hope Mr. Xiao will get off the list as soon as possible"

Everyone at the table collapsed, even Yun Jin couldn't help but burst out laughing, and was swept back by Xiao Gao's eyes, they have been consciously avoiding the topic of Gu Nanfeng in the past few years, for fear of touching her.

Xiao Xubai calmly raised the wine glass, touched her lightly, raised her head and drank it all, when the turbid wine was boiling through her lungs, tears were choked out of the corners of her eyes, she raised her hand and wiped it away as if she had not intentional, and sat down again, her face was as usual.

"Lao Xiao, give Xiao Gao a long vacation, we are going to go on a trip and get married" When the wine passed three rounds, Yun Jin suddenly stopped his chopsticks and looked at Xiao Gaodao.

A heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Xubai's lips, and he didn't want to let them go too lightly, "Why are you going to get married, and you don't say anything about me as a matchmaker?" ”

"It's good not to ask you for money," Yun Jin snorted lightly, and raised his glass to touch her again.

"This world is so big, if there is fate, the mountains and rivers can finally meet"

Xiao Xubai was noncommittal, raised his head and drank it all, all living beings, how many people are really destined?

Most of them are just shallow in love.

Each city has its representatives, Hong Kong is represented by bauhinia, Shanghai is magnolia, Hangzhou is a large camphor forest, and H city is a sycamore tree.

In the middle of summer night, the breeze blew away the dryness, bringing a wisp of coolness, the stars were hanging upside down, the street lamp pulled her shadow very long, Xiao Xubai staggered on the road, and the stars fell in her eyes, and there was a danger of overflowing at any time in the night.

A couple passed by her, the boy walked very steadily with the girl on his back, the girl's high heels were in his hands, and a few whispers between lovers drifted into the eardrums with the night breeze.

"Husband, how far is it?"

"It's not far, it's coming soon"

"Then I'll come down and go."

"It's okay, my back moves"

Memories that had been sealed for a long time suddenly came flooding back, replaying them in slow motion like a movie, and every frame transition made her breathe in pain.

"Xubai, how far is it?" It was the first time she accompanied her to a cocktail party, stepping on seven-centimeter stilettos, wearing a small dress she gave her, shining at the banquet, but when she came out, she broke her foot, rubbed her ankles and looked aggrieved.

"Alright, come on, I'll carry you" She slowly leaned down in front of her and patted herself on the back.

The corners of Gu Nanfeng's lips slightly hooked a sweet arc, and he didn't want her to see it too obviously, so he quickly tensed it back, but he still obediently climbed onto her back.

The two of them wandered all the way home, facing each other in pairs, and now only the street lamp stretched her shadow very long.

"Mr. Xiao, the plane is at 9:50, you still have half an hour to eat breakfast"

Xiao Xubai looked down at his watch, picked up Wen Jiàn and got up, "Let's eat at the airport."

Now H City may be stuck in traffic at any time, and she is going to Los Angeles to attend an awards ceremony today, so it is better to take a little insurance in advance.

The Pritzker Prize for Architecture, the Nobel Prize in architecture, was awarded to a Chinese female designer for the first time, and after a long list of praises from the host, it finally officially kicked off, "Nowlet-swelcome Ms. Shawawardedprizes!" ”

At the most glorious moment of Xiao Xubai's life, Xiao Gao and Yunjin, who were traveling in the southern coastal cities, also ushered in an unexpected joy, this surprise missed four years, came too late, and almost made people can't wait.

The sea breeze on Gulangyu Island in August blows the humid breath, the sun is shining as if there is never a rainy season, the sea here is an upside-down sky, the blue sky is like washing, in the various literary and artistic shops on the island, this book house called Nanfeng Transit is particularly inconspicuous.

What attracted Xiao Gao was only its name, which instantly evoked a lot of past events, and as a bystander, she had a dull pain in her heart.

The small façade is hidden in the alley, the walls are covered with ivy, the tall banyan trees shed a little shade, and the curtain hangs a small wind chime made of a string of shells, which gently shakes with the breeze and makes a pleasant crisp sound.

The footsteps seemed to have taken root, she was reluctant to look away, and quickly pressed the shutter, Yun Jin walked up from behind and grabbed her shoulder, "What are you shooting?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the wind chimes rang again, this time she didn't miss it again, the woman was wearing a light-colored floral dress, holding a kettle in her hand, and came out to water a few pots of flowers at the door, her expression was focused and serious, and occasionally her hair slipped down and she hooked her little finger behind her ear, the woman was not very beautiful, but she had an unforgettable temperament, which was warm and moist as jade precipitated by the years.

Although it was just a side face, Xiao Gao's eyes were already wet with tears, and when he couldn't wait to walk up, Yun Jin took her hand and shook his head, "Give me the camera"

Xiao Gao took the camera from his chest and handed it to her, with a look of doubt on his face, "You ......"

After a while, it suddenly dawned on me, if I went out recklessly, I might surprise the beauty, not to mention that the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, if you want to make the south wind change her mind, you have to go out of the horse.

"Coordinates Xiamen Gulangyu, you can come or not"

Ding Dong The message was successfully sent, Yun Jin put the phone in his pocket, pulled her to stroll away, and even relaxed her steps.

It seems that someone not only wants to give her money, but also has to thank her.

The woman seemed to be unheard of by what was happening around her, and she still focused on the work in hand, treating those pots of flowers and plants with a pilgrimage reverence.

After finishing the speech, Xiao Xubai returned to the backstage to rest, and before the coffee could take a sip of the mobile phone on the table, it vibrate, she clicked on it and stood up, the hot coffee splashed on her hand as if she was unconscious.

Stumbling out, searching for something, rummaging through the pockets of her coat and shirt, she fixed her eyes on the gilded trophies and certificates on the table.

After deciding, Xiao Xubai quickly notified the secretary to book the latest flight to Xiamen, and hurried to the airport before saying goodbye to the staff of the organizing committee.

The business of the bookstore is very cold, but she is also happy not to be disturbed, turn on the old color TV in the quiet afternoon, put a cup of hot tea in hand, sit on the rattan chair and read a book to spend most of the time, although sometimes the sound is turned on and it will not be audible, but she still likes to turn on the TV, watching their lips move one by one, as if there is also the breath of fireworks in the world.

Today's TV seems to be particularly exciting, people continue to applaud, the long repetition finally awakened a trace of her hearing, the woman took her eyes off the book, and suddenly fell into a pair of amber eyes, the lens was pulled very close, you can clearly see the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, becoming more mature and stable, but there is less sharpness in the eyes, more tired vicissitudes.

Speaking in English, her hearing couldn't keep up, she frowned and tried to hear what she was saying, but it was still in vain, just looking at the magnesium lights shining on the stage, she held the trophy high in the center of the stage, and the corners of her lips also had a gratifying arc, but I don't know why tears fell and wet the pages, and the handwriting began to blur.

"Jingle bells-jingle bells-" The wind chimes were high-frequency sounds, probably when a guest came, but she still didn't come back to her senses, immersed in the past and her every move.

"Excuse me, is it Miss Gu?" The woman's voice was low and beautiful, and she repeated it three times in a row before she turned around, and the book in her hand fell to the ground with a snap, and the whole person was a little incredulous, trembling slightly, and the crystal liquid in her eyes refused to let it fall.

Xiao Xubai continued the speech on TV, but changed the Chinese, "I named this villa Nanfeng Transit to commemorate a very important person in my life, she occupied most of my life, from youth to middle age, we met for ten years, separated for seven years, separated for longer than together, but this does not prevent me from loving her"

"Today is my thirty-fifth birthday, and I made a promise to her that I would wait until she was thirty-five, and now I think I will extend it indefinitely, until the end of my life."

Fluent English accompanied her Mandarin, repeated over and over again, Gu Nanfeng pursed her lips and there were still tears falling from the corners of her lips.

With the awakening of hearing, there are also memories pouring in, and those who were beautiful and unhappy in the past, happy and unhappy, after years of precipitation, are still as clean as new after ten years.

A sigh overflowed from the corner of Xiao Xubai's lips, seeing that she was crying pitifully and wanted to hug someone into her arms, she felt abrupt, "Why do you still cry so much?" ”

In the past few years, she must have not lived very well when she has been wandering around, she is still so thin, there are deep shadows under her collarbones, her eyebrows and eyes are frosty, and there are the same fine lines at the corners of her eyes, obviously so many years younger than her.

In just a few lifetimes, how many decades can they have, they have wasted too much time waiting and missing, Xiao Xubai has been waiting for an opportunity to give himself and the opportunity to give up.

She didn't follow the speech in the next words, she took out the trophy from behind her and knelt on one knee, "Everyone else has flower rings when they propose, and I prepared it too hastily today, I only have this, I want to use the greatest honor in my life to marry the woman I love most in my life, Nanfeng, marry me"

Gu Nanfeng kept shaking his head and retreating, until he knocked over the vase on the windowsill and made a crisp sound, Xiao Xubai realized that she hadn't said a word since she entered the door, the sound of the TV was turned on very loudly, and she didn't seem to hear anything.

"Nanfeng ......" She took a step forward urgently, Gu Nanfeng took another step back, shaking her head desperately.

As if she understood in an instant, she must have had a very strict hearing problem, Xiao Xubai's eyes instantly welled up with tears, rummaging around for paper and pens, and finally found a post-it note on the table.

She wrote stroke by stroke: Nanfeng, I love you, we get married and never be separated again.

If we can really be together in the end, it doesn't matter if it's a little later.
