After Gu Tian finished smoking a cigarette, Jason also put away the photo, and finally he took out a business card from his arms, "This is the contact information of that Master Victor, you will call him when you get to the place, and his assistant will come out and pick you up." ”

Gu Tian took the business card and put it in his handbag, and sighed with a smile, "You always help me so much, I don't know how to thank you." ”

Jason waved at her in disgust, "Don't be so polite, I'm not used to it, I'm used to being sent by you." ”

At this time, Gu Tian laughed: "Then I'm really welcome!" ”

Jason glanced at her smile, depressedly drained the remaining coffee in the cup, and suddenly stuck out his tongue bitterly, so Gu Qian smiled even more happily.

The master's studio is really hard to find, I don't know if it was to be able to concentrate on creation or to be quiet, but he moved to a remote alley.

When Gu Tian was introduced into the door by his assistant, he found that there was a hole inside, obviously the outside of the door was not good-looking, but the inside was like entering a castle in the Baroque period, full of rich decorations and carvings, the strong color contrast was very eye-catching, and the curved surface design interspersed in the space added a different sense of layering.

When Gu Tian arrived, Master Victor was concentrating on winding a watch, his ears pressed against the surface, carefully discerning the sound coming from the watch.

The room was quiet, and Gu Tian even deliberately relaxed his breathing.

The workbench on the side is full of all kinds of watches, pocket watches, clocks, large and small, ranging from expensive to cheap, broken and complete.

Gu Tian looked at those watches curiously, although a few watches were too old to see, but he could still show that the original workmanship was very exquisite, but after all, he couldn't withstand the rubbing of time and gradually became mottled.

It's obviously a thing that witnesses time, but it will be taken away by time in the end, and time is really ruthless.

After about half an hour, Master Victor finally adjusted the watch in his hand and carefully placed it on the backing.

Master Victor wiped his hands with a soft cloth towel, and began to fiddle with other watches, and asked Gu Tian without looking back: "Are you here to ask me to repair your watch?" ”

Gu Tian hurriedly took out the small box in his arms, opened it and held a pocket watch inside: "The origin of this pocket watch is France, I have found many people in China to try it, but they have not been repaired, I don't know if you have a way." ”

The master Victor in front of him is a fairly famous watchmaker, if even he can't do anything, then Gu Tian can only give up.

The pocket watch looks like it's been around for a long time, but it still shines with a beautiful luster unique to metal, and the owner of the pocket watch must have cherished it.

"This seems to be a commemorative model from a certain brand more than twenty years ago, and now it is considered an antique," Master Victor's voice was rich, and there was a unique calm flavor in his pronunciation, "Where did you get it from?" ”

"This is a token of love that my mother left me as a courtesy from my father." As soon as Gu Tian spoke, Master Victor raised his eyebrows and glanced at her in standard French, presumably he had never met an Asian girl who could speak fluent French.

Master Victor took off his monocle and slowly got up from his seat with the watch, "You come with me." ”

Gu Tian followed him over, there were a lot of solid wood display cabinets displayed by the window, each cabinet contained many precious clocks of all sizes, different from the ones on the workbench just now, most of the watches in these cabinets were from world-famous watch brands, and a few of them were limited and announced to be discontinued, which could not be measured by money at all.

"Look at your pocket watch, is it the same as the one in front of you?" Master Victor stood still in front of a cabinet and motioned with his chin for Gu to look over.

Gu Tian's eyes looked through the layer of glass that looked almost transparent, and saw the pocket watch that was exactly the same as the one in her hand, the pocket watch in the cabinet was very intact due to careful preservation, and there was no trace of human use.

Gu Tian's heart suddenly ignited a flame of hope, "You have a copy of the same model here, that means you can fix this broken piece, right?" ”

"No," Master Victor shook his head, "there are only five pocket watches in this series, each with a different meaning, and when the manufacturer gave me this pocket watch, he warned me to cherish this pocket watch, because it is like feelings, very fragile, and once damaged, it cannot be repaired." ”

"And this watch is so old that the watchmaker who made it is probably no longer alive." Master Victor took a small tool and gently opened the back cover of the pocket watch, which was densely engraved with a small piece of French, which translated into Chinese roughly means that love cannot be repeated.

"What is written on my pocket watch is that the passion is like fire, and it will eventually be extinguished." Master Victor said that there was a rare smile at this point, "It seems that the designer who made this watch is a bit pessimistic, and these sentences are tragic no matter how you look at them. ”

Gu Tian had never seen these sentences behind the lid of the table, and he didn't know if his father knew these words, what kind of mood did he have when he gave them to his mother as a token of love?

The watch was found while sorting through her mother's belongings, which had died without warning or leaving a word.

The watch was found while sorting through her mother's belongings, which had died without warning or leaving a word. Judging from the meaning of this pocket watch, they also once loved each other, why did they end up being so unrecognizable?

Does the ultimate truth of love have to be ugly?

After all, this pocket watch belongs to the past, and there is no way to repair it, just like the parents can no longer reconcile.

Gu Tian carefully put away the pocket watch, took out another square box he brought, and carefully placed it on the workbench.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you for."

Outside the window, it was gloomy weather, but Gu Tian's expression was rare serious.
