During this time, Wu Yueming could feel that Qin Ruqin's mood was a little unstable, and he didn't know if it was because of Tang Xiaogang and Xu Tingjuan's wedding, or because the time for the graduate school entrance examination was approaching. On Saturday afternoon, Wu Yueming and Qin Ruqin were lying under a large camphor tree reading "Dream of Red Mansions" together.

"Lin Daiyu is bound to die early," Qin Ruqin said with a light sigh.

"Yes, no one can imagine that after Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu got married, Lin Daiyu faced firewood, rice, wine, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea all day long, which is simply a waste of beauty." Wu Yueming said that he found that he and Qin Ruqin could resonate to such an extent, "Only Xue Baochai can do it in ordinary things, and have a sense of beauty." ”

"It's a pity that after Lin Daiyu's death, although Jia Baoyu willingly married Xue Baochai, he still chose to become a monk."

"Well, I still think that Gao Yi is not well written behind, Jia Baoyu must be Xue Baochai who is willing to marry, but Jia Baoyu will also definitely go to the road of becoming a monk." Wu Yueming said.

"Yue Ming, let's get married, right?"

"Huh?" Wu Yueming's brain was blank for an instant, he was still discussing "Dream of Red Mansions" just now, why did he suddenly propose marriage now, "I haven't seen your parents yet"

"It's too" The expression on Qin Ruqin's face looked a little lost, but it immediately returned to normal, "I haven't seen your parents either."

After Tang Xiaogang graduated, he found a good job, in Changsha, he still lived in Gangmingju with Wu Yueming, saying that he would never forget his brother because he had a wife. He asked Xu Tingjuan to live in a graduate student dormitory. Xu Tingjuan did well in the exam, but she chose to continue her graduate studies at Huda University and did not go to Fudan. Qin Ruqin went to England for a month, and in another month she will become a member of Oxford University. As for Wu Yueming, of course, he is continuing his undergraduate education.

A month later, Wu Yueming received a handwritten letter from Qin Ruqin from Oxford University.

"Yue Ming, I will stay in the UK during this time and will not go back for the time being, please forgive me for my selfishness. I still remember the time when I was talking to you about "Dream of Red Mansions", and suddenly I told you that we should get married, and at that time, I already knew that I had been admitted to Oxford University. At the time, I wished you could just say a 'yes' word, so that I could leave Oxford behind once and for all. It's a pity that you have hesitation.

During this time, I thought a lot about me and you, as well as Lei Ruochen, who I had never seen, but I could feel her presence anytime and anywhere. Being apart for a while is good for you and good for me. We all need distance and time to think well about our feelings and future.

Five years, I think well, let's give each other five years, five years later, we will see each other, then you and I will be twenty-seven years old, no longer seventeen years old. If we still love each other, then we will get married immediately. ”

The signature is: Love your piano.

Along with the letter came a photograph of her at Oxford, a necklace. That necklace was the same style as the birthday gift Lei Ruochen wanted to give him five years ago. Wu Yueming opened the two sides of the heart-shaped necklace, and on one side was a photo of Qin Ruqin when she was a sophomore, Wu Yueming recognized that it was taken after she participated in the mask ball, and that dance was their love moment. On the one hand, a photo taken by Qin Ruqin in the library of Huda University before going to the United Kingdom is pasted. On the necklace box was a pink heart-shaped post-it note that read, "Honey, this is a birthday present." ”

Wu Yueming took off the necklace he wore on his chest and put it on his desk, which was a birthday gift from Lei Ruochen. Now, there are two necklaces of the same style on the desk, one on the left hand side and one on the right hand side. In one necklace are two photos of Lei Ruochen, and in one necklace are two photos of Qin Ruqin. Wu Yueming's mind kept alternating the images of Lei Ruochen and Qin Ruqin, that day, he looked at the two necklaces in a daze from the morning until Tang Xiaogang came back in the evening.

Tang Xiaogang read the letter sent by Qin Ruqin to Wu Yueming, and saw the two necklaces on the desk, and said in silence for a long time: "What are you going to do?" Is it really like waiting for five years? ”

"Qin Ruqin, your character, you and I both know it, she won't make decisions easily. Now, even if I wanted to contact her, I was afraid that there was nothing I could do. Wu Yueming said, then picked up the two necklaces from the desk and put them all on his chest.

"Don't worry, my brother will always be by your side."

Wu Yueming nodded and said, "I'm hungry, let's go eat." ”

Since receiving Qin Ruqin's letter, Wu Yueming has not received any news from her, on his birthday, his graduation ceremony, and the anniversary of the two of them. Qin Ruqin disappeared from his world forever, except for the necklace that was worn on his chest.
