Chapter 1: Departure

"Yes, that's it, do what I say." When I woke up the next day, I saw Ouyang Ze standing in front of the window looking at the scenery outside the window, holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, and the mellow aroma of coffee beans couldn't help but get into my nose.

"Who are you talking to?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes and said to Ouyang Ze.

"Oh, just getting people to book two tickets." Ouyang Ze turned around, a knowing smile on his face. "I'll be gone tomorrow... Rui Rui, I will definitely make you happy when you go abroad! Ouyang Ze walked to my bed and kissed my forehead lightly, and there was a slight memory on his lips that still stayed on the traces of the kiss.

"Give me my phone, I'm going to make a call." He consciously handed me the phone, reached out and took his phone, and skillfully pressed a few numbers.

"Hello?" A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, you remember for me, I won't forgive you in this life!" I didn't wait for anything else to be said on the other end of the line, so I hung up in a hurry. Such warnings are more effective than quarrels.

"To do this... Isn't it too..."Ouyang Ze asked me in a low voice... It's like a subordinate asking what the master means.

"It's just a warning, after all, I haven't done anything yet." After putting the phone on the quilt, I lay down with my back to Ouyang Ze, stretched out relaxedly, smelling the aroma of coffee mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the room, I closed my eyes and imagined a better future.

The ticket was at three o'clock in the morning, and I was picked up in a taxi by Ouyang Ze in my sleep, and when I was awakened by the shock of the back and forth, I found that I was on my way to the airport.

"Why didn't you wake me up? How tiring it is to clean up your own things..."I asked him softly as I leaned on his shoulder.

"I want you to sleep a little longer, so that you can have the energy to meet the surprise for a while." Ouyang Ze lowered his head and looked into my eyes, deliberately selling the guanzi to me. His face was so handsome against the deep darkness of the night.

As the car slowly stopped at the airport gate, I saw a familiar figure standing in the night through the window, as if he was holding something in his hand.

"Xu Shaohui? What are you doing here? "It wasn't until the car stopped that I recognized the familiar face.

Xu Shaohui took the initiative to help me open the car door and stretched out a hand to me, "Are you feeling better?" ”

I didn't expect to see my former friends again before leaving, and at this moment there was a little emotional wave in my heart, and that feeling invaded my heart...

"After all, it's all about leaving, and I don't think the atmosphere is too cold like you." Ouyang Ze got out of the car, opened the trunk, took out our luggage, and said to me.

There weren't too many people in the departure hall, plus it was so dark. The lights in the lobby are always cold, and the front desk staff always look up at us from time to time.

"When you go abroad, you have to start anew, forget about the unpleasantness, and live a good life." I lowered my head and listened to Xu Shaohui's advice, and my eyes kept on the beautifully wrapped gift in my hand.

"Isn't this for me?" I raised my chin at the gift.

"Yes, it's not precious, but it's a little bit of my mind, those things—" he said to me in a low voice, frowning slightly.

"It's okay, since it's all over, forget it." I took the gift and gave him a smile.

Tearing open the ribbon of the red package, and tearing the red paper of the package little by little, when the sealed carton was opened, a trace of silver brilliance flashed out of the carton.

"Is this the one at the mall counter?" I took the watch out of the cardboard box and held it in the white light and looked at it carefully.

"Hmm..."

"It's too precious! I can't take it. I put the watch back in the box and handed it back to Xu Shaohui.

"This is your last gift, so keep it." Xu Shaohui put his hand on the packaging box and pushed it towards me again, "After all, in the future, maybe I won't see you anymore." Looking at the smile on Xu Shaohui's face, I always feel that behind this smile is more sadness...

At the last moment of boarding, I looked back and saw Xu Shaohui's figure, he gently waved his arm to make a final confession to me... At that moment, I gave him the same smile and a "goodbye", but the moment I turned around, my eyes were full of tears of sorrow...

"Are you alright?" Ouyang Ze put his hand on my shoulder and leaned his head close to my face.

"It's fine." I rubbed my fingers against the metal on the surface of the watch, feeling the cold touch of the metal.

"Are you saying we really won't see each other again?" I looked at the night scene outside the window and said to Ouyang Ze.

"Not necessarily, maybe we'll see them again when we come back to play."

"Won't friendship change? Won't it fade after many years? I turned my head to look into Ouyang Ze's eyes, hoping that he could tell me the answer.

"Yes, just like the watch in your hand, even if time ruthlessly destroys it, the trick in it will not change, and the hands will still walk, just like your friendship." Ouyang Ze pointed to the dial and explained to me.

"Then your love for me will not change... Is that right? I still looked at him with tears in my eyes, begging for his answer.

"No, trust me." I reached out to wipe the tears that remained on my face, and slowly leaned closer and kissed me lightly in the corner of my eye.

Perhaps, he really won't abandon me... They won't abandon me... Like he said, the pointer also turns...
