Five years later
Ye Xin offered a bouquet of flowers in front of Grandpa Tong's grave.
The April breeze blows the branches of the willow trees around them, and the spring mood is swept in the air, and the sun shines softly, drawing a multitude of halos on the ground through the branches and leaves that have not yet formed in the middle of spring. Today the weather is just right, and the souls of the dead sleep here, as peaceful as ever, and the occasional cuckoo can be heard chirping from far and near.
Ye Xin was wearing a white lined gray coat, and his long black curly hair was draped behind him, like inky waves pouring out. She placed a bouquet of white flowers in front of Grandpa Tong's grave and stared at the gray photo for a long time.
Grandpa Tong left, and he left with a smile.
"Ye Xin, thank you for the past five years."
Tong Jia stood beside Ye Xin, she exhaled a long breath, hooked a faint smile, and said, "In the last five years of grandpa's life, he was very happy. β
"It's me who should say thank you, you and grandpa have helped me too much, I don't know what to do without you, it's still unknown whether I live or die now."
Ye Xin turned his head to look at Tong Jia and said, "Sister, I didn't expect that I would really survive, and because of you and grandpa with me, I haven't been lonely in the past five years." β
Tong Jia paused and said, "Ye Xin, I know that you can't let go of that person in your heart, are you preparing to go back to China to find him now?" β
"yes, I'm going to go back and atone for my sins." Ye Xin pulled away a wry smile, turned his head to look at the east, his eyes lengthened, and muttered, "He...... You don't want to see me again, because I've done so much. I want to go back and see if he's doing well, and if he has someone else by his side, I'll leave quietly; If he's still aloneβ"
Ye Xin looked at Tong Jia's eyes, his eyes flashed brightly, revealing a smile like sunshine, and said, "If he is still alone, then I will be cheeky again and entangle him." β
Tong Jia raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and touched her head, and said, "I'm optimistic about you." If you have difficulties, you can contact me at any time, I am your sister, and I will always be your sister. β

"General."
Jiang Lin used his car to kill the handsome man of the other camp, and Doctor Zhao sighed in distress and said, "You kid really has no eyesight, and I don't know how to let the old man me." β
Jiang Lin smiled faintly and said, "If I really let you, you should complain that I look down on you." β
"Don't be too complacent, young and vigorous, it's easy to fall behind."
"The teacher is right. But don't worry, the scale in my heart is very stable. β
Doctor Zhao stared at Jiang Lin for a while, and kindness gradually crept up his eyes, dispelling his original serious and dull aura, not like the old-fashioned appearance in the hospital.
He retired three years ago, and although he left his post, his contact with Jiang Lin has not been broken. He cultivated Jiang Lin as an excellent junior, and has always been Jiang Lin's scientific research and spiritual mentor, and helped Jiang Lin a lot during his graduate studies; Jiang Lin also lived up to expectations, before graduating from university, he made jaw-dropping results in the medical field, and during his graduate studies, he made a lot of research results, and he was an outstanding talent in both academic and clinical aspects.
Jiang Lin is now a full-fledged internist working at a private hospital in H City. When he has time, he will come to Dr. Zhao's house to sit down, play chess with him, and talk about the hospital.
"How's it going?" Dr. Zhao asked.
"As always, hospitals, research institutes and homes are three points and one line."
"Have you got a girlfriend?"
"......" Jiang Lin didn't speak, and shook his head silently.
"You're twenty-seven, why aren't you looking for a girlfriend? How long do you want to hit a single? When I was your age, my son would be playing soy sauce. β
"I think it's good to live alone, to be alone, to be able to concentrate on work and research."
Doctor Zhao snorted coldly, leaned back in the chair with his arms around his chest, and said, "Don't give me such a lofty reason, you still can't forget Ye Xin's dead girl." β
Jiang Lin's eyelashes fanned, and a slight fluctuation appeared in his eyes. Although five years had passed, it was as if it had happened yesterday, and she disappeared from his world without a word, without a trace of nostalgia.
She's a cold-blooded animal.
Jiang Lin breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Teacher Zhao, you are right, I really can't forget her, and the more I want to forget, the more difficult it is to forget, as if she carved words in my heart." But I'm trying, after all, she's gone, and I don't know if she's alive or dead. β
"Oops, I don't know how you two did it, I was about to have surgery, and the person was gone! I almost fainted from her anger. If she's dead now, forget it, and if she's still alive, I'll have to teach her a good lesson when I see her. β
Jiang Lin's eyes were lowered, and he kept rubbing a chess piece in his hand. If Ye Xin is still alive...... As long as she's alive.
He didn't dare to ask for too much.

Jiang Lin left Dr. Zhao's house and walked down the street alone. Walking on the road he was most familiar with, a single figure was alone, and when he saw the couple snuggling together and holding his arms nearby, he immediately looked away.
He looked up at a leisurely cloud in the sky, the focus of his pupils was elongated, and the white clouds reflected their shadows in his eyes, reflecting the melancholy of the blue sky under the white clouds.
He wanted to take out his phone to take a picture of the sky, but the wallpaper on the lock screen made him stagnant.
Why hasn't he changed this wallpaper yet? Obviously, he planned to replace it five years ago, and he wanted to replace it after taking out his phone countless times, but he has not put it into action until today......
Jiang Lin's eyes darkened, and he silently put away his mobile phone, and at this moment, he received a call, and the caller was Ye Jingjing.
After Jiang Lin connected, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Jing: "Brother Jiang Lin, I didn't disturb your work, did I?" β
Jiang: "No, I'm outside now. You're graduating this summer, do you plan to return to your home country, or do you want to stay abroad? β
Jing: "I want to go back to China, after all, my parents are in China, and they are just my daughter." Brother Jiang Lin, thank you for allowing me to study abroad in the past few years, I will pay you back this money when I earn money from my work in the future. β
Jiang: "You don't have to pay it back, for you to study abroad can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes." β
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Brother Jiang Lin, although you don't want to say it, in fact, I also understand that you provided me to study abroad because of my sister." β
Jiang: "...... Hmmm"
Jing: "There's one thing I haven't told you. In fact, since my sister disappeared five years ago, our family has received a sum of money every year, enough for the family's expenses for a year, we don't know who sent the money, the other party did not leave an address, but I think it may be my sister. I think she must be alive......"
β¦β¦
Jiang Lin's pupils gradually widened, and he couldn't hear what Ye Jingjing said next, his brain seemed to be infected with a virus, and the words "she must be alive" kept flashing in a loop, as if it was a kind of spell, sucking away the strength of his whole body and taking his consciousness away.
Alive, she's alive......
