"It's very hard to secretly like someone, but I just endured this hard work and secretly liked her for half a year. I like to watch her look at me smiling, and I also like to walk with her on the road at night after finishing my duty, saying goodbye to each other at the fork of the dormitory, I feel that these days of growing up together are the best days of my life. ”

Liu said with a smile that back then, he never thought about it from now on, he didn't think about what would happen after graduation, whether they would come together in the future, he felt that those were too far away, so far away that he could never think about it, don't care, he just quietly enjoyed the ordinary days with her by his side.

"I grew up with her like this, I saw her side face when it was the season when the banyan tree began to bloom, to the time I felt the need to tell her I liked her that the campus had begun to snow, we had such a tacit understanding in half a year, at least I think it was a tacit understanding, her words were never much, what impressed me the most was her smile, she rushed with me to do duty, competed with me to see who cleaned up fast, rushed to go to the store to buy ice cream on hot days, and walked on the creaking snow together on cold days, so calm, but happy. ”

"When I told her that I liked her, she was not surprised, did not nod, did not shake her head, just said that we must all study hard, and strive to live up to the youth, since then I have studied harder for this agreement, and even equipped with a key to the classroom, competing who will come to the classroom earlier, the first to start reviewing."

"Those days were my hardest study time, I studied hard, reviewed, got out of class, went to class, I felt that I was very energetic to learn everything at that time, my thinking was very flexible, and I began to answer questions enthusiastically, because every time I made a little progress, I could see a smile on her face. It was also from that time that I believed that puppy love does not necessarily affect your studies, and in many cases, it can become a motivation to get you up. ”

Liu turned around and looked at Xia Mei, who was listening very seriously, his eyes were infinitely gentle, he seemed to see the girl who was on duty that year, and he was looking at himself as seriously as he was that year.

Xia Mei noticed Liu Yuan's gaze, and suddenly lowered her head, she was a little unaccustomed to this boy's gaze.

"It was also from that time that I thought about the future, the future, the future of the future, and I began to wish that we could be together forever and enjoy this simple happiness forever, so I kept this effort going until I graduated."

"Luckily, we were both admitted to university, but I went to Qingzhou, which is 4,000 miles away from home, and she went to Kyoto."

There was a hint of regret in Liu Relative's words, although they had worked hard to get into the same place back then, but the scores would never change because of their personal wishes, and their universities were still separated.

"The distance of 4,000 miles has not blocked the emotion between each other, the girl has been thinking about the future that I have talked about, and I am becoming more and more obsessed with a more prosperous world in Qingzhou, I have experienced more wonderful things, and I have seen the girl who makes me more excited, so I have been shaken by the original feelings, but the girl has always been like that, she has been waiting there with her warm persistence, and has not changed."

"After four years of college, I once proposed to separate, she still didn't speak, but she kept thinking about me on cold days and hot days, reminding me to increase or decrease clothes and drink less, she gave me the deepest concern like a relative, so that I can continue to enjoy this light care, and even once I was admitted to the hospital due to drunkenness, and she didn't wait for the phone call for three days She actually took a car from Kyoto for two days and one night to Qingzhou to see me."

Ryu was a little sad when he said these words, he remembered his own indulgence and betrayal, and remembered her inseparability.

"After graduation, I came to Kyoto, and at the same time she also stayed in Kyoto, we lived in a very small house, at that time we began to work hard for life, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, life trivial things replaced the silent warmth, sometimes the quarrel was very intense, but we never mentioned the word separation, these hard days together I suddenly understood a lot, life, it turned out to be composed of those ordinary days and days."

"In the vast capital, we have no friends and relatives, can only rely on each other, and no matter how tired and annoying, when I come home to greet me is always her warm smiling face, at the age when the girl began to pursue brand-name clothes and cosmetics, she still adheres to the original simplicity, carefully calculates the cost of our living, carefully plans for our future, she said that now we are diligent and thrifty, and the future will definitely be better."

"My workplace is far away from where I live, and then I was finally promoted because of my excellent work, and overtime became a regular thing, so I went to work earlier and earlier, and got off work later and later, but no matter how early or late, I could always eat breakfast and dinner made by her."

"Later, we moved, and at her insistence, we moved to the vicinity of my company, and she had to take the bus for several hours a day to go to work, but I didn't feel wrong at all, and still accepted this kind of care with peace of mind, and she never complained about the hard work, and still said sorry to me, saying that she couldn't cook me dinner in the future."

"My work is getting better and better, the salary is getting more and more, we finally don't have to count the cost of living with our fingers, and I am getting busier and busier, busy with frequent business trips and entertainment, and it is dark, and at this time, in order to let me go further, she resolutely quit her favorite profession and took care of me at home."

"That year, a plague broke out in Kyoto, a terrible plague, the once prosperous Kyoto seemed to have become an empty city overnight, most of the foreigners left, and I couldn't return to my hometown because of work, I persuaded her to leave too, but she didn't, she said that if she left, no one would take care of me, a man who lived a very sloppy life."

"The epidemic is getting more and more serious, there are few people on the street, and our company has finally stopped working for the holidays, in order to relieve my depression, she specially bought recipes to cook for me, and bought a lot of books for me to kill those most boring times."

Liu said with a smile that back then, as if he saw the girl who was desperate for the person she loved.

"Because I smoked too hard, I finally had the same pathological reaction as the epidemic, but I didn't dare to go to the hospital, just stayed at home, and she couldn't convince me, so I had to go to a nearby clinic in the middle of the night to buy me medicine, buy a thermometer, and take care of me for three days, when my strong symptoms disappeared, she smiled, laughed like a child, laughing tears flowed out, that time I found that I was in her heart, the weight was so heavy."

"The epidemic was finally under control, and my health got better, but she fell ill, the company returned to work, and I wanted to take a leave of absence, but she resolutely decided to go home, she didn't want to drag down my rising career. The moment I saw her off at the bus station, I suddenly realized that I didn't look like her lover, but more like her child, and she gave me all the care and care, and didn't keep it for herself. ”

Liu Zhi's voice was a little choked, he looked at Xia Mei's silhouette in the sunset, and gently stretched out his hand through her hair flying in the wind, as if he wanted to put away the girl's time that had been scattered with the wind over the years.

Where Xia Mei stood quietly, she didn't stop Liu Relative's movements.

"So, I said to myself, I want her to be happy, I must be happy."

Xia Mei listened quietly, her face was still quiet, and she couldn't see her heart.

"Later, when we returned to our hometown, we hesitated for a long time when we made this decision, and we also asked for her opinion, and she said that she had no opinion, as long as it was a decision I made, she would support it."

"The first few years back home were the saddest years for me, my hometown was a completely different market from Kyoto, and two failed investments made me squander my savings along with my father's savings, but at my darkest age, she resolutely chose to marry me, to marry this poor jingle failure."

"I was very depressed during that time, but she didn't, I couldn't pull my face to borrow money, so she ran around, raised me the third capital for my business, and told me that even if all the people in the world abandoned me, she was still there, she would be, she would always be there."

"Her encouragement and strength finally cheered me up, so I began to work harder, crazy efforts, I thought about the promise I said that year to give her happiness and started the third business, suffering and humiliation, wearing stars and moons"

"You've finally succeeded, haven't you?"

Xia Mei finally asked, her voice was very calm, as if she already knew the ending.

Ryu nodded.

"It's a success, at least our income at that time was enough for us to give birth to a child and give her a rich environment."

Liu Zhao thought about the tears that Xia Mei shed when the child was born, Xia Mei was relieved that she had finally completed the responsibility of being a wife, and she was moved because she could finally let Xia Mei live a happy life.

At this point, the willows stopped, it was already dark, and the sun finally set below the mountains to the west.

"And then?"

Xia Mei still had a smile on her tranquil face, she seemed to be moved, and she seemed to be indifferent.

"Later"

Liu said the word relatively softly, not knowing how to take it. Xia Mei was listening to a story, and the story said that this was a very happy ending, and the boys and girls lived a truly happy life from now on.

To her, it sounded like a perfect, romantic story, but it could only be a story.

But that's not the story, the final ending of the story is that the flowers bloom twice, the sky is different, and the people and things that are most worth remembering are just left in Liu Relative's memories.

And the so-called romance, that is, there is no later.
