Because I was here, I naturally took Mr. An's personal photo on the day of his graduation ceremony, and discussed with Mr. An the night before how he wanted to take the graduation photo.

Mr. An was lying on my lap looking through the portraits I had taken before, shook his head, and said that he was only responsible for being a model, and I just had to call him what kind of effect I wanted. But early the next morning, Lin Dong came to my room and told me that he wanted me to take a few graduation photos for him, and he wanted the light and shadow effects to be just right, and it was best to bring a little film texture.

"He Xi, do you say that you want to backlight a little bit and make the silhouette look better, or brighten the background of natural light and shoot a three-dimensional outline?"

I had just finished changing my clothes and listening to him pick out the hat I was going to bring today. Seeing that Mr. An had already changed his clothes and came over, I put on my hat and put the camera in my camera bag, and saw Mr. An say good morning to me with his lips, and then he glanced at Lin Dong and walked in while smiling.

Lin Dong didn't know that someone was behind him, but he was bumped on the shoulder as he spoke, and Mr. An had already heard our conversation and squeezed forward from him.

"It's not good, it's not good." Mr. An turned around and shook his head at him, then turned his head and looked at me with a friendly smile: "It's overkill, we girls don't shoot." ”

Mr. Ann pressed down my hat, took the camera bag again, and said to me, "Girl, you don't have to pay attention to him. ”

Lin Dong couldn't stand Mr. An's sudden tiredness, hugged his arms and shrunk his shoulders, looking at me with aggrieved and pitiful eyes.

I smiled and said to him, "You can shoot too, but I don't have that much time to shoot, and my assistant can do it if I ask for it, but Ge."

e is not there. Oh, by the way, Danton, don't you have a girlfriend yet......."

I was about to say that I would love to introduce Ge

E gave him an acquaintance, but unfortunately Mr. An interrupted me: "Okay, okay, He Xi, we're about to go, check again to see if anything is missing." ”

"Oh." I was instantly diverted from the subject, and I forgot what I was about to say.

Mr. An turned his head and said to Lin Dong: "Dandong, you go downstairs first, and He Xi and I will come down after packing up." ”

Later, I asked Mr. An why he didn't let me introduce Ge to him

e and Lin Dong know each other, both of them have straightforward and cheerful personalities, and their interests are also the same, if they meet, even if they can't become a couple in the end, they can become friends who can talk. It's not that Mr. An doesn't know what I'm thinking as a matchmaker, but in his opinion, this thing can't be done, because Lin Dong has always been unable to let go of the previous relationship and hasn't come out yet.

"First love, foreign country, breakup, can't let go, why did you just hear someone say this script line two days ago?" I say.

Mr. Ann knew what I was referring to, and there was a subtle unnaturalness in his expression, but he ignored me for this quip.

But the last time Lin Dong told me, if it wasn't for Mr. An who brought me to everyone, he really thought that Mr. An was bluffing him when he said to him, "There are people you like, but they are only temporarily separated", and I also know that in front of outsiders, Mr. An has always summarized everything we have experienced as a story from being each other's first love when we were young, to being separated because of a foreign country, and then getting back together after many years.

Later, Mr. An explained how he said, he said, because we have so many experiences, so many stories and small feelings, how to tell outsiders, are beyond the comprehension of others. On the contrary, the more cliché a story is, the easier it is to be accepted, because it is not that everyone does not understand love, but precisely because they have all experienced it, they know that love is unspeakable.

Love is the most uncontrollable, what is different to whom, but it is different to whom, it seems to have its own home.

Later, because of the urgency of fans, I posted the photos I took this time to my personal social account, and I went to see it after a few months, and I saw a message on the top under the news that posted Lin Dong's personal photo, which probably means that she didn't expect to see the news of her ex-boyfriend who she hadn't seen for many years in my INS feed. Then I flipped through the posts on the first floor, and they were all comments from enthusiastic netizens who came to watch and persuaded them to reunite, although in the end she only replied with a sentence of "let it be" as an ambiguous reply.

Later, I sent a private message to the netizen who left a message, and confirmed Lin Dong's first love ex-girlfriend, and I left the contact information that Lin Dong is using now to her according to her wishes. But Lin Dong is in my friend's address book, even if the girl didn't contact him, if he pays attention to this news, he can see it. Of course, this is already a later story, so I won't repeat it.

After the graduation ceremony, I walked around Ann Arbor with Mr. Ann, and we went to a small village that was relatively isolated, which left a deep impression on me.

The village is surrounded by a hill and is surrounded by dense jungle, with plains and lakes in front. The lake is not very large, it is a small inland lake, and we came in the season, just in the flood season, and there is a wet swamp around it, and a wooden bridge has been erected on it to lead to the lake's edge.

We lived in a local farmer's house, which raised both sheep and horses, which was not quite the same as the farmer's family we imagined, but it also happened to fulfill my and Mr. An's desire to feed and herd the horses.

The farmer is a small, clean but tidy farmer, who is a 50-year-old horse wrangler of Irish descent who is very friendly and considerate. Mr. Ann and I wanted to learn how to ride a horse, so he found the most tame mare for us to train, and he would ride on the other horse, help us pull the reins, and give us guidance while keeping us safe.

Mr. Ann and I were very timid at first, and even though the owner of the horse told us that the horses here had been trained to perfection, we were still very nervous when we sat on the back of the horse with the reins on our own. Mr. Ann was a quicker learner than I was, and later he was able to apply the art of horseback riding very freely, but I still dared to pace slowly with the reins of the horse, and did not dare to let the horse run on the plains. Once my horse ran with his horse, and I almost didn't get thrown off the horse, but since this time I didn't seem to be afraid of anything, and I made great progress.

When I was learning to ride a horse, Mr. An was in charge of my camera and took a lot of embarrassing photos of me, but there were also many photos that he took seriously, which in my opinion were barely acceptable.

I didn't do post-processing of these photos, but I picked a few photos that I thought were interesting, and the composition was okay and uploaded to my account, and my fans left a message saying that this was probably the most shaky photo they had ever seen me take, and I didn't say it for the time being, anyway, the style is definitely different from before. Later, when they noticed that the album was named "By Jiashu", my fans collectively soured again, some asked me which master "Jiashu" belonged to, and some asked me if it was indirectly announced, but it was always the first time they saw it, and I posted photos taken by others in my account.

Jiang Li didn't know when he learned to go over the wall, and when he used these social software that he usually didn't bother to pay attention to, he was very calm when he saw the photos I took with Mr. An, and only called me and asked, "Are you together?" ”

"Together."

Jiang Li was stunned for a long time, he seemed to be digesting the news.

"How so?" He asked.

"How could it be?" I say.

In the past, Jiang Li was like an elder brother who would say to me: "You are still young, don't be in a hurry to fall in love, you don't know those people, can they make you happy?" ”

Now he is saying to me, "You are still young, you can play for a few more years, don't get married too early, and besides, you will meet someone better than him." ”

I'm stunned this time, I'm still young? I'm not too young at 27 years old, and Jiang Li's evaluation of Mr. An doesn't make sense.

I said, "I'm not young, I'll be old when you're the age." ”

Speaking of this, I thought that Jiang Li was thirty-four years old this year, and he didn't even have a stable girlfriend, and the last time his mother finished talking to him on the phone, she turned around and told me that she was anxious for Jiang Li, but no matter how he persuaded him to find a suitable partner as soon as possible, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him. My mother also gave me time to communicate with him more, and asked me to help ask him if he had someone to hide.

Later, I tested him, and I said that many of his college classmates were the same age as him, and the children were already able to make soy sauce, and if he was still single, his life plan would be a little behind others.

Jiang Li had just been promoted to professor at that time, and he was already very busy with the work in the hospital, and he had to go to class every week, and correct students' homework in the study at night, while listening to my nagging with his voice on.

I still remember joking with him at the time, Ah Li, a handsome professor like you who is not much older than your students, will there be girls in your class who secretly have a crush on you, or female classmates who are pursuing you?

Jiang Li didn't speak, but from the earpiece, the sound of his pen scratching on the paper was so loud that I could imagine him rolling his eyes at the wall. But later, according to my mother's speculation, Jiang Li should have been entangled by our Ji Nuannuan classmate at that time, and he just didn't want to say it to me.

In the autumn of 2015, my mother returned to China to visit my aunt's family, and she also met our Nuan Nuan classmates, but Jiang Li's attitude towards her at that time was always lukewarm, insisting that he didn't have any wrong thoughts about her.

In the autumn of 2016, Mr. An and I registered our marriage in Vancouver and held a wedding. I told Mr. An that I didn't count Jiang Li's movements so fast, and he also snatched my bridesmaids.

Mr. An said, "Now I should call it sister-in-law." ”

I pinched my fingers and counted, "Little sister-in-law, three years younger than me." ”

Mr. An is also calculating, "Ten years old, no wonder Jiang Li is so anxious and hides it so tightly." ”

I deliberately put on a straight face and said, "I have reason to suspect that you are implying that Ah is old." ”

Mr. An stared at me amusedly and shook his head: "I didn't say that. ”

Mr. An told me, "If you really like someone, you naturally want to keep her by your side as soon as possible." ”

I think it sounds familiar, and the last time I remember the last time I heard something similar was when we were at the farm, and Jiang Li asked me why I ended up choosing the An family boy.

I didn't hang up the phone at the time, and turned back to Mr. An, who was combing his wool: "Jiashu, Ah Li asked you how dare you covet his beautiful sister." ”

Mr. An straightened his back, raised his arms, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said loudly, "This should make Jiang Li ask his sister." ”

I said with certainty: "No, no, no, it's you, not me." ”

Mr. An said: "No, no, no, I asked He Xi when she coveted An Jiashu." ”

The sun was dazzling, the lake was sparkling, the grass was dark, and Mr. An's eyes were hidden under his hat, and he couldn't see clearly. At that time, An Jiashu was standing in the flock of sheep and said to He Xi: "He Xi, don't admit it, you have left me with you since I was 6 years old." ”

When I first heard that, I was shocked, not like I savor the true meaning now, because I was still a little jealous at the time, because of the tacit understanding between these two men, damn I don't know who to be jealous of first.

To be honest, since I was a child, I haven't seen Mr. An admire anyone among his peers, and if he can make him say "this person is really powerful", only Jiang Li, because Jiang Li has been too good since he was a child, and he is no longer a human being, he is simply a god. Mr. An and I have admired him since we were children, and we can say that for a while, Jiang Li was the object of our determination to surpass. Although I would tease Jiang Li for his age in front of Mr. An at home, in my heart, Jiang Li was in the golden period of his life, he was professional, dedicated, handsome and golden, and no one could be worthy of him.

Mr. An is sometimes jealous, and told me that fortunately there is no second Jiang Li in this world, and fortunately, this Jiang Li is already someone else's Jiang Li.

I said: "You are wrong, you should say that fortunately there is only one He Xi in this world, and there is only one An Jiashu, and then fortunately now they are He Xi's An Jiashu, An Jiashu's He Xi." ”

At the age of three and a half, my grandfather pointed to the gate of the military academy with a red wall and iron hook, leaned down and said to me, "Later, an old friend of my grandfather will come over, and that person has a bad temper, but he is your teacher."

In the afternoon, the sun flowed with time, shining on the green bricks and tiles, and when he was impatient, my husband came slowly from the gate of the courtyard in a gray gown, he stretched out his hand and brushed his gray beard, his sleeves were stained with black ink, and his eyes first looked at my grandfather with a smile, and then looked at me with a bright eye.

"Kid, come with me."

My grandfather put my hand on his hand, and he took the person away.

In the study, he studied the ink and laid the paper, held the pen and dipped the ink, and finally bent down and fell: apostrophe, point, apostrophe, point, horizontal groove, horizontal, apostrophe, horizontal groove, horizontal groove, horizontal groove. It's love.

"Also, one skim, three o'clock, Hengbaogai, there is heaven and earth, there is a heart between heaven and earth, and there are people in the heart." After he finished speaking, there was another traditional "愛" next to the word "love".

At that time, in the first initiation class, Mr. taught to write the first word, line italics.

"How does love come about?" Mr. said, "Born with it." ”

"When will you recognize it?" Mr. said, "Born with it." ”

"Really love someone, when you stay with him, then you know what love is." The gentleman looked at me and asked, "Child, do you understand?" ”

I shook my head, and the gentleman put one hand behind his back, shook his head, and said to himself: "Looking smart and clever, I have less talent and less talent." ”

The gentleman also said, "You are still young, and when you grow up, you will see more different things, and will you be happier or unhappy?" Don't disturb, don't disturb, the sky will thunder, the sky will rain, it will not rain. (Note: This sentence was said to himself by himself, meaning that he did not have to bother himself.) ）”

I still looked at him ignorantly, and the gentleman smiled and bent his eyebrows, and when he threw his hand into the tip of my nose, he clicked on the ink, and then waved his hand and said, "That's it, it's okay, your child can't understand it now." ”

Later, my husband took away the first word I practiced, and before going home to eat and drink, he turned his head and asked his mother: "I heard that this child's fetal hair was made into a brush when he was a child, and I think it is very easy to use, so I will also ask for one." ”

According to my mother, this is how my husband begged our family for a precious pen that she had prepared to keep for me as a rite of passage.
