Yang Fan lowered his head and was silent for a while, allowing the tears to leave two clear marks on his face. He slowly took out the robin pendant with his body temperature from his chest, slowly placed it in front of Anna's tombstone, and took out the "heart" from his pocket, put it in the palm of his hand, and gently smoothed the folds on the photo.

Since Anna left, Yang Fan has been taking them with him, and the pendant seems to carry Anna's soul and hope, and Yang Fan wants to take her to see the future that Anna once fantasized about. And the photos seem to record the past of him and Anna, which is the motivation for Yang Fan to face all difficulties.

Suddenly, Yang Fan let out a long breath, wiped his tears, and said in a slightly choked voice: "Anna, I know you don't want to see me now. Actually, I didn't even know that I had such a side.

Fate has made me a stronger version of myself. And you, let me see my most vulnerable self. Anna, now I understand that all the battles I have done against fate in front of you are not worth mentioning.

If...... If I could get you back, I'd be willing to use everything I have now and what I might have in the future as a bargaining chip, as long as you can come back!

Anna, do you know that there are many things in this world that you are willing to fight for, and you always feel that you can give up everything for them. But some people, even your life, really come to choose, those things that you once thought you could fight for are so insignificant. ”

Yang Fan wiped his tears again and continued: "Anna, I know I did something wrong. Perhaps, we are all human beings with original sin, and we met each other on our own path to salvation.

But I use this original sin as motivation to torture myself and hurt others. And you...... But I use this original sin as an excuse, as an excuse for my fulfillment.

You've been relieved, but you're ...... Anna, if you do this, I will never be able to pay it back...... I know you don't need me to pay it back.

But I ...... I really don't have the courage to live in this world so lonely, let alone pursue the kind of happiness you think I should have.

If fate is unfair, I will fight it, and I will rely on my own efforts to solve everything! This is my own salvation. But for you...... I ......"

After a long pause, Yang Fan continued to whisper, "Okay, I know you won't want to see me now. But don't force me, I can't live as you want to be right now. I don't want to be so vulnerable in front of anyone but you.

Anna, you owe me something. Do you remember? It was two years ago today, at Jason's house. I said I was going to give me to you as a birthday present, and you said you would accept it, but the timing was not right, let me keep it for you first.

Now, here I go again! I still want to give myself to you...... But what you said was the right time...... I'll never be able to wait! No, it's a ...... you owe me."

Yang Fan's emotions were very excited, his thoughts were also very chaotic, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what to say. I only felt that in the hazy eyes, Anna was looking at herself, looking at herself as gently as before.

Suddenly, fireworks in the city pierced the otherwise quiet night sky, and people cheered and shouted to celebrate Christmas 2017.

Yang Fan looked at his watch, it was 00:00 now. He wiped away his tears, forced himself to put on a smile, a sincere smile, and said to Anna, "Happy birthday, Anna." My lover! ”

The smile lasted on Yang Fan's face for a few seconds, and it was the happiest few seconds he had in recent times. He regretted that if he had given up hatred, responsibility and attachment earlier, maybe life would have been such happiness.

Suddenly, Yang Fan faintly heard footsteps behind him.

He turned his head and saw the silhouette of a man reflected in the fireworks and lights of the city, and he was slowly walking towards Yang Fan.

When he came near, the man said, "I guessed you were coming!" ”

By the moonlight, Yang Fan recognized the person who came, he was Mark.

Mark sat next to Yang Fan, and at some point there were two more bottles of beer in his hand, he touched the two bottle caps against each other, skillfully broke one of the bottle caps, and handed the bottle to Yang Fan.

Then he bit open the cap of another bottle and took a sip.

Yang Fan picked up the wine bottle and looked at it in front of him, it was a small bottle of Carlsberg beer, with a green bottle and a delicate embossed logo. He didn't know much about beer, but he thought it was perfect to have a bottle of beer at this time.

Yang Fan also raised his neck and took a sip, and then said, "It seems to taste good." ”

"yes." Mark also looked at the beer in his hand and sighed: "This is my sister's and I's favorite beer, we drank it together when we were young, although my parents didn't allow it." ”

After speaking, he looked at the wine bottle in his hand and smiled slightly.

Yang Fan clenched the beer bottle tightly with both hands, he never knew what type of beer Anna liked, and he never asked. Perhaps, lovers like them don't need to pay attention to these details.

But it's because there are too few nostalgic details between the two. So much so that after Anna left, it was so difficult for Yang Fan to construct a complete memory in his memory.

Mark smiled, pointed to Anna's tombstone and said, "Yang Fan, you may not know. As a child, my dad was very busy at work and very aggressive. Our family only celebrates Christmas, so my sister's birthday is rarely celebrated. Slowly, no one in the family mentioned it anymore.

Until I was in elementary school, I secretly celebrated birthdays with my sister every Christmas. Since...... Ever since my dad was killed, that's when my sister joined T3. She never had a birthday again, maybe she had forgotten her birthday, or maybe she didn't want to remember it at all. I want to ......"

Mark's voice began to choke, he wiped his tears, took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and said, "I think that in this world, if there are still people who will give up Christmas and come here on this day." I'm afraid it's just you and Irina. ”

Yang Fan took a sip of wine, gently stroked Anna's tombstone, and said in a trembling voice: "In my heart, this day has only one meaning, and that is her birthday." ”

Mark lowered his head and said lightly: "I understand, in fact, I am the same." I've hated Christmas since I was a kid, and if it wasn't for Christmas, we could have a quiet birthday for my sister. But she always said that it was also good, so many people around the world were celebrating her birthday.

But I know that she is a person who likes to be quiet. He never needed so many people to accompany her, she only needed the people she needed. ”

Mark took another sip of wine and said, "Yang Fan, thank you." My sister is lucky to meet you. ”

"You...... Do you really think so? ”

Yang Fan's voice was so small that he couldn't hear it clearly, he picked up the wine bottle in his hand, but he didn't raise it to his mouth.

"Of course."

Mark smiled at Anna's tombstone and said, "My sister has been able to express her love since she was a child, and the way to express her love is to give. She gave a lot for me, a lot for my father, and a lot for this family.

She gives everything she can for the people she loves. In the end, she ...... for you"

Yang Fan nodded silently, looking at Anna in front of him, tears could not be stopped.

Mark turned his head to look at Yang Fan and said, "Yang Fan, you don't have to feel guilty. In fact, it is not you who owe our family, but we owe you. ”

He looked at Anna's tombstone again and sighed, "If it weren't for my father's business, if it weren't for my father's business, if it wasn't for my business." My sister wouldn't have joined that so-called Ukrainian intelligence service, and he wouldn't have met the Daredevil. It won't ...... Maybe then she can ...... with you So, it's our family who owes you. ”

After listening to Mark's words, Yang Fan shook his head and said in a low voice, "No, Mark." If it weren't for these, I probably wouldn't have met Anna either. Perhaps, it was all fate......

Fate is fate, meeting is fate, parting is fate, life and death are also fate. It is also fate for such a kind person as Anna to experience this tragic life of Yang, all of this is fate, and it is a fate that we cannot get rid of. ”

"Perhaps." Mark drank the wine from the bottle in one gulp, smiled "hehe", and said, "Irina gave me all my sister's property, but she didn't leave me a word. Yang Fan, you are happy, at least you saw her for the last time. I also heard that my sister asked you to find a person named Ouyang Jing. ”

"Yes." Yang Fan nodded slightly.

Mark glanced at the photo in Yang Fan's hand and said, "Yang Fan, I know you won't do that for the time being." As I told you, my sister's way of expressing love is giving. Perhaps, without Ouyang Jing, my sister will be reluctant to be with you, but it is more likely that she will let you go to find the next Ouyang Jing.

Yang Fan, you're right! It's all fate! We can't go against our fate, let alone change it, it's not your fault. I'm not going to advise you to do anything right away, I just want to say what I told you last time at my sister's funeral, 'Don't let her down. ’”

Yang Fan sighed softly and said, "Recently, I have heard many people tell me not to let Anna down. Actually, I don't even know how to live up to her. I don't know, I really don't know......"

Mark patted Yang Fan on the shoulder and said, "Yang Fan, you actually know. My sister's greatest hope is to see you live a good life and hope that you can live happily. Living well with yourself is my sister's greatest wish. Her love is generous and selfless.

I know it's hard, so no one is going to force you. Yang Fan, in fact, I have a secret that even my sister doesn't know. Actually, I didn't like Harley since Yara died.

Because it used to be a dream that Yara and I shared. She said she was going to use her first year's salary to buy me a Harley that I loved. But...... So, I didn't like Harley ever since. ”

"That'...... At that time, the car I gave you? ”

Mark smiled faintly and said, "I haven't touched it since you left." But I know that the happiest thing for my sister is to see that I can be happy! That's why I'm so excited in front of you. And that motorcycle was the last gift she gave me.

Yang Fan, my sister is a kind person, very kind. She has only others in her heart, not even herself. I'm not a competent brother. Growing up, my sister has done so much for me.

And all I can do is try to act as good as possible in front of her. That's the only way to make my sister happy. In fact, I'm trying my best to make myself better. Not only for himself, but also for not to disappoint his sister. ”

Yang Fan stared at Mark tightly, was silent for a long time, and then drank all the wine in the bottle.

Mark continued: "Yang Fan, I am not qualified to ask you for anything. But I want to ask you not to let go of anyone who has hurt my sister! Even if it was her life, I would not let go of any of the stains that have appeared in her life. ”

"Well, I promise you! Never let go of anyone who has hurt Anna! Never! Yang Fan nodded heavily.

Mark spread his hands and said, "Alright! Yang Fan, you should still have something to do. Can you leave me and my sister alone for a moment? ”

"Okay." Yang Fan picked up the robin's pendant and hung it around his neck again, put the photo away, took one last look at his lover, slowly stood up, turned around and walked towards the door of the cemetery.

He had just walked more than a dozen meters when Mark's heart-rending cry came from behind him.

Yang Fan stopped and said softly: "Mark, don't worry!" I won't spare anyone who has hurt Anna! Never! ”

With that, he walked briskly out of the cemetery.

Yang Fan stopped a taxi, took a ride to the airport, and left Ukraine overnight to fly to San Diego, to the place where he and Anna agreed to spend the rest of their lives together.
