Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

When I first use this word, it seems as if a long time has passed.

Has a few years passed? Am I out of jail?

No, not yet, it's just been a month.

Prison visits by relatives and friends are open once a month, and this is the first month. Because the number of people visiting the prison could not exceed three, the only people who came to see me for the first time were Yaoyue, Xing Yu, and Mi Jie.

Through the thick glass, I could only talk to them on the phone and not touch them, but for me, it was satisfying to be able to see them face to face.

Yao Yue told me how much she missed me on the phone, and I was the same, for our couple, who are always in love, only seeing each other once a month is really a torment, so every month in the future, no matter who comes to visit me, there will always be a Yao Yue in the quota of those three people.

I know that it won't be so quick for everyone to forget about it until the turmoil has passed, so I'm not in a hurry.

Although I didn't have to work in prison, it was too boring and boring.

I spent my first year in prison. A New Year's party was held in the prison, and rows of prisoners in prison uniforms sat on the playground with benches like schoolchildren.

No way, it's much more interesting than watching news broadcasts every day, right?

Every night, I make a mark on the wall with my fingernails. How many marks do I need to mark before I can get out of here?

After the New Year, Yaoyue, Xiaoning, and Xu Yanting still went to the prison to see me.

"Happy New Year, husband." Yao Yue said to me with a smile on the other end of the phone.

Even though we didn't get the certificate that day, we already called each other that.

I didn't ask them when I could go out, they didn't, and I didn't ask.

I might say I didn't dare ask.

My relationship with Yao Yue does not seem to have become weak because of distance and time, but my longing for her has become more and more intense.

But, I just knew it was me.

What about Yaoyue? Would she think the same way?

I'm in prison, and all the people I come into contact with are big men, and I have nothing else to think about except Yaoyue.

But what about her?

Perhaps, in my absence, she will be able to reach out to better men, and at that time, will she begin to waver?

I never worried about that before, but now it's different, I don't know when I'm going to get out. Although Yaoyue said that I was only temporarily avoiding the limelight, how long is this temporary? Will it take a decade? Although Yaoyue said that after I was released from prison, I would personally propose to her. But I know better than anyone else that people change, this truth.

Yes, as time went on, I really started to lose my self-confidence.

One year, two years, three years.

I'm twenty-three years old.

For three years, thirty-six months, Yaoyue also came every month, and every month I could see the strong love in her smile.

I don't think you can understand my feelings, every time I come back from the visiting cell, I always breathe a sigh of relief, and then I think to myself, I really think too much, how could Yaoyue abandon me......

But after seven or eight days, I started to worry again, and every day I sat on my arms and looked out at the night sky.

I think I'm really sick.

"Boss, I'll be able to go out tomorrow!" It was a bald head who spoke. Yes, the bald head I beat on my first day in prison.

"It's finally time to get out, I've been waiting for this day, Boss, you don't know how excited I am." The bald head rubbed his hands together with a smile and said, his eyes seemed to be about to shine, "By the way, boss, what kind of crime are you?" How many more years? I'm still waiting for you to get out too, and then I'll mess with you! ”

I said indifferently, "If you look forward to going out early, just let me go to bed." Tomorrow morning you will be able to leave with your eyes open. ”

"Oh......" said the bald head weakly, hiding in his bed, obviously not knowing why I was angry.

Another two years passed......

Yao Yue is still the same beauty, she has gradually changed from an immature little girl to a more mature and dignified woman.

In the past two years, I have also learned a lot of things on the phone, I learned from Yao Yue that Mijie and Yanting are together, and they are going to Singapore together to get married next month; Xiao Ning went to Canada to study, and recently she was about to prepare for the doctoral examination, and the little girl who used to blush when she spoke loudly can now speak confidently in a lecture hall of more than 2,000 people; Xing Yu and Lan Ling don't replace them, their children are one year old, Xing Yu has completely become a good man like a housewife, staying at home every day to teach her husband and children...... Ahem, that word doesn't seem to be quite appropriate for him.

And a lot more, a lot more......

Every time I hear these news, I am happy for them, but I also have a faint sadness in my heart for some reason.

I said the sentence I'd thought about for a long time: "Yaoyue." ”

"Huh?" Yao Yue stopped, looking at me with big eyes blinking.

"Do you have someone you like right now?"

Yao Yue couldn't help laughing: "What do you say? Absolutely. ”

"Who is it?"

"You're a pig, who else, of course you."

“…… I'm asking other people. ”

Yao Yue's smile gradually disappeared from her face: "What do you mean?" ”

"You...... Do you want to find another man? I mustered up a lot of courage, but when I said this, my heart was stinging fiercely.

Yao Yue was silent for a long time, and we looked at each other through the thick glass, until the prison guard reminded us that the visitation time was almost over.

"You are not allowed to say such things again." Yao Yue said indifferently, then put down the phone, and then left.

Ah Guang came over and picked up the phone, and said to me in a speechless voice, "I said buddy, are you stupid?" How can such a brain-dead question be asked? ”

I could only smile bitterly.

I know that Yao Yue is really angry this time.

Because Yaoyue hasn't come to see me since.

I don't know if this was a punishment for me, or if she had really done what I said and fell in love with other men.

Seriously, I was a little desperate, and I suddenly had a feeling that I couldn't get out, and it didn't matter anymore.

On my twenty-sixth birthday, Xing Yu and Mijie came to see me. Xing Yu was still holding a little boy in his arms, who looked to be only two years old.

"Xiao Yu, call Godfather."

"Godfather~" The child said loudly into the microphone in a very thick milk voice, and laughed vigorously after speaking, which was very cute.

I touched my nose and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for you, you haven't forgotten to take the time to come and see me after so many years." ”

"What are you talking about, don't be pretentious." Xing Yu talked to me while teasing his child.

I opened my mouth, eager to ask Yaoyue how she was doing, did she really leave me? Is there a new boyfriend? But when the words came to my lips, I still couldn't ask.

"Ji Nan, I actually brought you someone today." Mijie suddenly said with a mysterious smile.

"Huh? Who is it? I asked curiously.

Mijie turned to the side and invited the people outside. A particularly beautiful girl.

"Lin Luo?!" I cried out in surprise and laughed, "Why are you here?" ”

"I also learned the news that you have been imprisoned a while ago." Lin Luo took the phone and shook his head at me: "You, it's still so unworrying." ”

"Uh......" I touched my nose a little embarrassed, Mijie and Xing Yu smiled: "We're out, let's talk." After saying that, he really left.

Fortunately, although Lin Luo and I haven't seen each other for many years, we didn't have that sense of estrangement when we met, we chatted endlessly, and I laughed heartily several times, I have to say, this is the happiest laugh since Yaoyue didn't visit me again this year.

Lin Luo's smile was really beautiful, very feminine: "Ji Nan, do you remember the last words you said to me when I left Singapore?" ”

I froze for a moment, then shook my head.

After all these years, what I said, I have long forgotten.

"What is youth, you ask me?" Lin Luo said softly: "You tell me that youth is hope." ”

I was stunned, and my heart seemed to move somewhere.

Twenty-eight years old.

It's been another two years. I hung upside down on the top bunk bed one by one, sitting on my sit-ups, sweat running down my strong muscles.

"Boss, boss!" A skinny monkey-like man ran in and said to me, "The warden told you to get out!" ”

"Oh?" I rolled over and jumped out of bed and clapped my hands, "Okay, I got it." ”

Soon I met the warden in the labor workshop, and I had a good relationship with him, and many times the prisoners in the prison had something to do and I needed to help him settle it.

"Ji Nan, come here." The warden waved at me. I trotted over, "What's the matter?" ”

"Let's sign it." He took a bunch of things, on which were densely written words.

"What is this?" I asked, confused, "Medical parole?!" I looked up at him in amazement.

"yes, what, you don't know? Didn't Mr. Xing and Mr. Mi tell you? The warden was suspicious.

"I didn't ...... No...... my voice stuttered a little, "Well, this thing ......"

"Huh." The warden patted me on the shoulder with a smile: "After you sign it, you can go out!" ”

My heart pounded, and I didn't know what words to use to describe my feelings.

The prison warden said to me with a smile: "Ji Nan, after you go out, be a good person, live again, and don't come in again." ”

"Hmm!" I nodded vigorously and almost signed my name with a trembling wrist.

The prison door slowly opened, and the dazzling sunlight made me unable to adapt to it at once, and a few tears were squeezed out.

This world is both familiar and strange to me.

Step by step, I strode out, and the guards waved goodbye to me.

I couldn't calm down, I was looking forward to it and scared at the same time.

Xing Yu and Mi Jie, these two guys obviously knew about it a long time ago, but they didn't tell me, what two bastards......

That person, will she come?

I walked out the door.

Outside the door, to my great surprise, there was only one Xing Yu.

Xing Yu was wearing a suit and formal suit, and he was dressed very formally when he came to pick me up, but he was too casual, right? Lying on the grass in that expensive Armani suit?

"Hey, you're out?" Xing Yu yawned and greeted me lazily.

"You're the only one?"

"Hmm, how many people do you think there will be?"

I shrugged my shoulders with a wry smile: "Okay......"

It seems that most people have forgotten about me.

After all, eight years have passed. I don't blame them.

"Let's go, get in the car." Xing Yu got into his Mercedes Benz.

"Where are you going?" I also got into the passenger seat, fastened my seatbelt, and said strangely.

The corners of Xing Yu's mouth hooked slightly: "You'll know when you go." ”

The car started slowly and drove on the street of Beikou City. Eight years have passed, and it feels like a different world outside, and I can't help but be a little stunned when I look at the familiar and unfamiliar streets and alleys.

In a daze, the car had stopped. We actually stopped in front of a church.

"Here we are."

"What?" I looked at the church in amazement, and at the two dozen or so wedding cars parked on the side of the road, and pointed to them, "Are you supposed to ......?"

"I'll lean on ......" Xing Yu slapped his forehead and scolded in a low voice: "Duan Yupeng, this kid is too uneasy to do things, he even forgot to hide the wedding car, isn't this a goof, this idiot ......"

I stared at him blankly.

"Okay, it's just too lazy to pretend, it's really boring." Xing Yu threw a mobile phone to me: "You answer the phone." ”

I'm holding my phone, and the screen says I'm on a call.

I picked it up in a nervous mood, and called out in a trembling voice: "Hey? ”

"Hmmm......"

My heart pounded.

Although there was only a simple "um" word, I immediately recognized the owner of this voice!

"Yaoyue? Is that you? ......" I asked excitedly.

"Hmph, do you know what's wrong?" Yao Yue's voice continued to sound.

I was a little incoherent, like a child who didn't know what to do: "Yaoyue...... I always wanted to apologize to you, but you ...... later"

"Of course I have to punish you, who made you make such a serious mistake."

"I ...... Then you ......"

"I forgive you." Yao Yue said, and after I was a little relieved, I heard her say faintly, "But I'm angry again." ”

"......" I cried and laughed as if begging for mercy, and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't play with me......"

"What's the call, who's your daughter-in-law? Didn't you tell me to find another man? Yao Yue interrupted me again, and I could imagine her pouting over the phone, "Shouldn't I be angry?" ”

“…… Should. "That's all I can say, but God knows why she's angry again?

"Every time, I take the initiative to post it." Yao Yue said resentfully: "Even when you are released from prison, it is like this, the wedding, the ring, the wedding car, the master of ceremonies, I have prepared for you, and even the wedding dress is picked by myself, do you say that this is something that I should prepare as a woman?" Do you think I shouldn't be angry? ”

"That'...... The ...... "I scratched my ears and cheeks, and I was sweating profusely.

Yao Yue on the phone suddenly smiled again: "Okay, I forgive you." ”

"Huh?" I thought to myself, why?

"Because ......" Yao Yue smiled faintly: "I have spent three years punishing you......"

"Hey, okay, okay, you fleshy strength, I can give you disgusting death." Xing Yu snatched my phone directly and hung up mercilessly.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I glared at him with my eyes.

"You're really addicted over the phone, aren't you?" Xing Yu glanced at me, as if he was despising my lack of interest, and then pointed to the cathedral in front of him with his chin, "Let's go, everyone is waiting for us inside." ”

The sun, through the dappled shadows of the trees, shone on the earth.

The church bell rang just in time.

"Knock ......"

"Knock ......"

"Knock ......"
