Chapter 199: No matter how fast the light is, it can't penetrate the universe
Seventh day in Sydney!
This week, Zhilan's arrangements are very full, she went to the university where Gao Minlang once sto, walked through the streets he once walked, went to the unit where he once worked, and even the badminton hall he once loved to go to, she has been there more than once, and she actually met his former friends there, which is really not an ordinary fate!
No, I asked her to play again today!
It's a pity to say that in China, the four of them have made an appointment to play more than once, but by mistake, they are busy with their own things, and they have not played once!
The weather in Sydney today is sunny and windless! When she got up early in the morning, Zhilan went to the park for a run and came back to make breakfast by herself. Chinese.
On the first day she came here, she rented a house, the lease period was not long, three months, so the landlord asked for a little more expensive, it doesn't matter if it is expensive or not, the house is good, so Zhilan did not bargain!
After breakfast, Zhilan changed her clothes, pulled the suitcase over, opened it, and saw that there were no clothes suitable for playing ball, and sure enough, she rummaged through it and didn't find the right clothes. She had just watched from the gym before, and had never played, so she didn't buy it.
Zhilan was a little embarrassed, and the moment she closed the suitcase, she seemed to see something.
Inside a box, there is a letter, and under the letter is a brooch!
It's like seeing the love letter he once wrote to her, the words are still so good-looking, the pen walks the dragon and snake, and the power penetrates the back of the paper.
He said: Zhilan, I know you're leaving, and I know that I can't keep you, but we're not breaking up, right? We're not going to break up either.
In fact, I have a lot to say, but when I pick up the pen, I don't know what to say, there is only one night left before you leave, this night, this night, is the most tormenting night in my life, I dare not look at you, but I want to touch you, I want to remember your appearance in my heart, but I am afraid, even if I touch you, I am reluctant to let go of you.
Zhilan, I know, I'm an unqualified boyfriend who didn't keep you ten years ago, and I can't keep you after ten years.
When you are alone, take care of yourself. I'll always be here, waiting for you to come back, whether it's three months, five months, or three or five years, I'll just come back to me when you're out for a walk, tired of playing, and having had enough, okay?
Engagement rings, I put them in your box, remember to wear them! In this way, those who covet you will know the difficulty and retreat.
That brooch was bought for you last time when Uncle Mo celebrated his birthday, because you still quarreled with me about it, saying that it was too valuable, and that you could buy it for yourself what you like. So since then, I haven't bought anything from you, no matter what, we went to eat Western food together that day, and I went to buy it again halfway through, and I just think this brooch is very beautiful and suits you very well!
Zhilan, there are too many words, I don't want to just say it in this letter, I'll wait for you to come back, I'll tell you in person, that's a little secret between us.
You can play with confidence, have fun, there is me here, aunt, you can rest assured, I will take care of them.
Zhilan smiled, the smile was very sweet, sometimes she thought, maybe we should leave everything to time, don't they all say that time is the best medicine, it can heal the wounds in everyone's heart. But why, ten years later, their wounds are still oozing blood.
casually wore a loose suit to go out, the stadium was in the suburbs, not far from where she lived. It's about a dozen minutes walk.
After entering the arena, the person who waited for him had arrived, his name was North, and he was a person three years older than Gao Minlang! I also brought a man and a woman with me today!
If you want to say how Zhilan met him, it's not troublesome, there are two people on the wall of the stadium who take a group photo.
North waved at her from a long distance and said in broken Chinese: "Hurry up, I'll miss you." β
Zhilan gave him a lengthy smile: "Are you going to play doubles today?" β
"Well, mixed doubles. How about our partner? β
"Of course."
In fact, everyone's level is about the same, belonging to the rookie level of the master, Zhilan is smart and small, and the pace is light, so he stays in the front court, North is tall, and is suitable for smashing in the backcourt. Although it was the first time to cooperate, it was very tacit.
But the other party, a man and a woman, are very tall, standing left and right, which brings a lot of pressure to Zhilan and North.
With two wins in three games, the two sides played three full games, and Zhilan won by a narrow margin.
βwelldoneοΌβ North high-fives Zhilan in celebration of victory.
North said, "Take a break first, and then continue to fight, are you okay?" β
"No problem, but I need to take a break first!"
"It's the weekend, haven't you been around Sydney?" North's signature shrug.
"Can you be my guide, then?"
"Of course there is no problem!"
The two of you say a word, Zhilan looked around, this stadium is very big, and there are a lot of people. It's still the weekend, and there is no spare space at each venue.
"Lan, didn't Gao come with you this time?" North asked.
"He's busy!" Zhilan smiled: "Next time." β
"I've known him for a long time, and he hasn't contacted me since he returned to China. You have a saying in China called "heavy color and light friends", and this is what he is talking about. β
"Hahaha..."Zhilan applauded: "I didn't think you would still have this word." β
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, and the people playing the ball may not have paid attention, but Zhilan was resting, and naturally saw that someone had come in. It's just that person, Zhilan didn't expect to meet here.
Thinking of what kind of big man it was, North stood up, also looked at the comer, and then oh: "He, basically comes every week, is a Chinese, I heard that he is doing business here, and the business is very big!" North's addition was obviously redundant, because Zhilan didn't look at him at all, but kept staring at the big man who had just come in, and North continued: "Doesn't it mean that rich people usually go to play golf?" But he came almost every weekend and hadn't seen him before since September. β
Zhilan knew that it was because Gao Minlang told him to break off the father-son relationship, maybe there was Gao Minlang's shadow in this stadium, and he hoped to be closer to his son through this way!
His movements are not flexible, even a little stiff, and he doesn't even know the rules of badminton, it is not difficult to see that he has only learned a lot, and can only play some unskilled flat balls, followed by a Chinese coach, sometimes he will whisper a few words in his ear, sometimes he will pick up the racket teacher, and then he will be like a coach, in the middle of the court constantly repeating some simple movements.
"Blue, are you still fighting?"
"That's the end of today, let's make an appointment another day!"
"Okay, how long do you expect to stay in Sydney?"
"Stay so long that you don't want to stay!"
Zhilan got up and left.
Since leaving Gao Minlang, her mobile phone has been turned off, she is afraid that Gao Minlang will send her messages and calls, she is afraid that her willpower will not be so strong, and she is afraid that as soon as she hears his voice, she will disarm and surrender.
But today, seeing Gao Minlang's father, Zhilan thought about whether to talk to him. Hesitantly turned on the phone, but there were Liu Zhuo's, aunt, Ali, Shao Tong, Zhang Xianyu, and even many former colleagues. But there is no Gao Minlang's words.
Liu Zhuo said: Mo Zhilan, you go out to play, but you can't be endless, okay, I'll give you a month, it's long enough, you come back! No matter how you and Gao Minlang are, but how can you say that you will throw me down and send me away with just a text message? When you come back, let's talk about it clearly. If it's more than a month, you don't blame me for turning your face with you. See you later, it's a stranger, no, it's an enemy!
This is the longest piece of information, and the others are, she either cries to gain sympathy, or threatens to speak harshly, anyway, all kinds of expressions, all kinds of language, in short, she wants to get her back by all means.
Aunt said: Zhilan, go out to study hard, Shao Tong's wedding was very successful, Min Lang ran before and after, made a lot of efforts, you came back early, your marriage was done, and your parents were also happy on the top. Although I don't know why you suddenly have to go abroad to go public, but since it was arranged by the company, you can't resign, so my aunt doesn't blame you for not coming to the wedding, and Min Lang is the same.
Shao Tong said: Sister, I know you quarreled, did you break up? It's good to break up, I advise you to break up early, just a man like Gao Minlang, it's not worth your life to dedicate your life to him, don't talk about cats and dogs on weekdays, even your wife can't protect well, it's useless! But sister, then again, even if you break up with him, if you want to leave, he will go, why do you go, you come back quickly, Ali grinds you every day, my ears are about to become calloused.
Zhilan smiled, in the end, she is a married person, and she will not leave her wife in three sentences, I hope you can be a good husband.
Finally, it was Zhang Xianyu's, he said: Did you receive the gift? Do you still like it? I'm busy, I deliberately asked the secretary to choose, I hope you can understand! Zhilan, you can go out with confidence, I will send someone to protect you, but remember, no matter how good a foreign country is, China is your home, and no matter how good others are, they will not be better than my brother.
Zhilan remembered the express delivery she received that day, it turned out to be Zhang Xianyu who bought it for her, although she didn't know what it was, but it must be very valuable, for valuable things, Zhilan has always been difficult to accept, although the person who gave the gift felt that there was nothing, but she always felt that it was a human debt, in this world, only the love word is the most difficult, isn't it?
She put Gao Minlang at the top, but she didn't receive a message from him, not even a word of greeting. He's really obedient.
flipped through the circle of friends. Zhilan found out that Gao Minlang had been posting the same circle of friends for many days, and the picture was her, which was taken by him last time when he went out to play, but it was just the back. He has good photography skills, and he also uses it as a screensaver in his mobile phone.
Under the sunset, Zhilan stretched out her arms and stood on the vast and boundless prairie, embracing the sun.
The accompanying text is: No matter how fast the light is, it can't penetrate the universe, and no matter how long it is, it won't love you enough.
