In the vast red dust, there is a kind of love, which has not yet begun, it has ended. It's not that they don't love, but they are true love, they retain the temperature of their original love and let themselves live in eternal memories. Whether it was God playing tricks or fate is not known. A pillow of residual dreams, the end of the world is shattered, and finally a person is left alone.

[One]

As the sun sets, the afterglow fills the sky, revealing a layer of melancholy.

Tranquility was on her way home from work, and her face didn't look a little energetic. Because she has to prepare a copy, she has not had a normal rest for several days.

The sleepy tranquility collapsed on the bed as soon as he got home, motionless. However, despite the exhaustion of body and mind, his thoughts did not stop and he could not sleep peacefully. Tranquility got up, washed her face, and cooked herself a bowl of clear soup noodles. Mixing noodles listlessly, thinking about his own thoughts. My boyfriend went abroad, and she was very quiet by herself. Love without passion and constant suspicion have long been unbearable for her. Tranquility thought, when he comes back this time, it will be separated, it will be good for each other.

At that moment, a shrill phone rang, and Tranquility answered it. She felt that it was him, and she had never felt it so much, she just wanted to break up, but before she could speak, he opened her mouth first. Whether you love or not is up to him. But now, everything doesn't matter. It's just that my heart is like a knife, it's very painful, and after the heartache, there is endless loneliness.

[II]

On a crisp autumn morning, Tranquility was hurrying from home to work, and she was almost late. Knowing that they no longer love each other, they still stayed up all night last night because of the breakup. To speed things up, she wanted to take a taxi to work at the bus stop. Because there was no time to wait for the bus anymore, and besides, her body couldn't bear the crowded carriage today, or she might faint.

After waiting for a long time and thinking about it for a long time, there was still no empty taxi passing by, and she was very anxious. The higher-ups will definitely criticize at the meeting, because today there are new leaders who have come to inspect the work. The more Tranquility thought about it, the more she felt that the consequences of being late would be serious. As she looked left and right, a car pulled up in front of her. She didn't think her circle of friends drove a car. also thinks that no kind-hearted person will be willing to take her, a stranger, to work, and such a scene can only be found in bubble dramas. She took a few steps to the right and continued to wait.

"Let's get in the car and go, it's rush hour, it's not easy to get a taxi. The window slowly fell, and a man in a suit and tie, with neat hairstyle and thin-rimmed glasses, said mildly.

"Uh... Have we ever met?" Tranquility looked a little surprised. I don't know this person.

"I don't know you now, so if you want to be late, just continue to wait here. The man said slowly.

"I'm going to Kerry Mansion on Phoenix West Road, what about you?" Tranquility didn't get into the car and continued to ask.

"I'm there too. The man opened the car door.

"Is there such a coincidence?" thought Tranquility as she got into the car, not looking like a bad person.

The car sped all the way and soon arrived downstairs of the company. Before the car could stop, Tranquility got out of the car and dropped a sentence: "Thank you for taking me to work." "Serenity trotted onto the elevator. The man shook his head with a light smile.

Thankfully, I was only two minutes late. Serenity sat down for a cup of coffee and breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss Li coughed a few times and walked in, and all his colleagues looked at the door. Tranquility was stunned at this moment, and there was a man with a smile standing next to the boss, who was the one who took her to work just now. Tranquility thought: What should I do if this is a big mess.

The man stepped forward and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Gao Yu, I am from the head office, and I will work with you here for a while." Hope happy cooperation.

Colleagues applauded and said in unison, "Welcome Mr. Gao." Tranquility smiled embarrassedly and clapped her hands gently.

"Your name is Tranquility, right, listen to your manager, your performance is good, and you have worked hard during this time. Gao Yu looked at Tranquility sincerely. "Mr. Gao has won the award, this is my business, I should do it. Serenity responded politely and smiled.

Gao Yu smiled and turned to leave.

Yesterday at noon, Gao Yu came to this new working environment, accompanied by Manager Li, who had lived in a quiet studio. During the break, he saw that she was still working hard, and Manager Li gave a brief introduction. He remembered the woman with long flowing hair.

Gao Yu's residence is not far from Tranquility's home. This morning, Gao Yu saw this beautiful woman with long hair looking left and right on the platform from a distance. The unconscious Gao Yu just wanted to give her a ride so as not to be late, that's all.

[Three]

Tranquility doesn't seem to have too much pain since the breakup, perhaps, she hasn't really loved, separated, scattered, maybe it won't touch the pain in her heart. She is naturally beautiful, but her love path is ordinary. Maybe fate hasn't come, and she hasn't met anyone who can make her trustworthy. Two uneventful loves, both ended in failure. hasn't had time to love yet, so Tranquility will never easily believe in being loved again. She wants to bury her tenderness in her heart, hoping to have the most beautiful encounter in Hongchen. No matter how long it is, even if it is a lifetime of waiting, there is no regret. Wait for him to ignite the long-lost longing in his heart.

Tranquility worked hard as usual, in obscurity.

In the month Gao Yu joined the company, under his leadership, the performance increased by 8% year-on-year from the previous month. Everyone got the bonus and salary, they were very happy, and proposed to have a banquet for Mr. Gao tonight, and relax by the way. After hearing this, Gao Yu said: "How can you let everyone invite me, if you want to invite you, I will invite you, this month's performance is the result of our public efforts." My superiors praise me, and I have to thank you for your great support!"

During the dinner, someone asked about Gao Yu's personal love life and was more interested. Gao Yu said with some self-deprecation: "That was a thing of the past, there used to be a lover, but now there is no more." There was a little sadness in his eyes, and Serenity saw a little through his lenses. At the same time, her heart hurt slightly. Tranquility plucked up the courage to stand up suddenly.

"Come, long live the single, cheers. Her gaze was full of sincerity.

"Okay, long live the single, cheers. He stood up, picked up the juice, and smiled at Serenity. Gao Yu doesn't drink alcohol, because his liver can't drink too much.

After eating, it's a karaoke, quiet and drunk, and she doesn't like the environment of the discotheque, so she told everyone to go home and rest first. Everyone knows her character, and they follow her.

Serenity walked outside and watched the starry sky, the gentle moonlight, and the light breeze. Suddenly drunk. Gao Yu also came out with her, and walked quietly behind Tranquility for a while. Women's sixth sense is very smart, especially after being watched by others for a long time, they will always perceive it. Tranquility looked back, and he stopped. Facing the moonlight, Serenity looked at his eyes. She suddenly felt that this man was very stable, yes, mature and steady, and it couldn't be better to describe him like that. Tranquility stopped, and Gao Yu walked up.

"I want to ask you, why do the stars in the sky blink?" asked Tranquility faintly, she didn't know why she would ask such a thing.

"They may be conveying their love to the people they love, and if they love each other, but they can only look at each other from a distance, it is a painful thing. Gao Yu also looked at the stars and replied lightly.

"That's not the way you speak. Serenity looked at him.

"Are you going to walk back?" Gao Yu asked as she diverted the subject.

"Yes, it's so moonlit, it's worth a walk. ”

"Well, but can you do it?"

"Okay, I'm still sober and not drunk. ”

After that, without saying a word, the two walked together in the moonlight and starlight. Arrive at a peaceful accommodation.

"Thank you, I'm home, are you still a long way off?" asked Tranquility.

"I'll be there soon, thank you, no need, would you like to treat me to a cup of tea?" he asked, even thinking he was unexpected.

"It's too late, I'm so sleepy and want to rest, let's do it another day. Tranquility politely declined.

"Well, yes, sorry, presumptuous. Gao Yu smiled awkwardly.

Gao Yu turned around and returned to the road the two had just walked together, and went back to pick up the car. When he saw the lonely back, he suddenly wanted to go all the way with her, and he kept walking.

On a clear night, the stars in the sky are still blinking, perhaps, they are conveying love to their sweethearts, and sometimes it is both happy and painful to look at each other from afar.

【IV】

The next day I went to work, and Tranquility met Gao Yu in the elevator. Tranquility had a vague sense of what they had been walking the night before, and she didn't remember what she had said. However, she deeply remembered the words he said about the stars, deeply remembered the figure of him returning after sending her home, and deeply remembered that she was a little moved at that time.

"Mr. Gao is early, I may have drunk too much last night, I'm sorry. "The silence breaks the suffocating silence.

"Earlier, I'm sorry, I should thank you, it's been a long time since I've walked in the moonlight. Gao Yu smiled innocently.

Serenity didn't speak anymore, just smiled. It's strange to say, some people, even if you don't know and are unfamiliar with it, but through that gesture, smile and word, they have a sense of déjà vu in the past and present lives.

During the lunch break, Tranquility knocked on the door of Gao Yu's office.

"Please come in. Gao Yu responded inside.

Tranquility walked in slowly and looked at Gao Yu.

"Mr. Gao, I invite you to tea at noon, I owe you yesterday. Serenity smiled, with a pair of dimples, and also with a sincerity that was hard to refuse.

"Don't be so polite, I said it last night, I was presumptuous, I'm sorry. What Gao Yu didn't expect was that she took it seriously.

"It's okay, just a cup of tea. ”

"Okay, you wait for me, I'll prepare this draft first. ”

"Well, I'll wait for you. Tranquility sat down on the couch next to her.

"Don't you, I don't seem that old. Gao Yu didn't raise his head and said teasingly.

Just because of this sentence, it aroused Tranquility's curiosity, she looked at his side face, this man is really not old, about thirty years old, it can just be described as mature and steady. Gao Yu coughed a few times, still engrossed in writing something. Serenity was still looking at his side face. Gao Yu coughed a few more times. She noticed, got up, poured a glass of boiled water, and brought it over. Serenity rested lightly on his right hand. He saw it and looked up at her gratefully.

Tranquility saw the picture frame on his desk, which was a picture of him with a young and beautiful woman. It must be his ex-wife, Tranquility thought. This woman, with gentle eyes and a kind face, is quiet and likes such a woman. She once thought that if she could leave a man like Gao Yu, it must be that woman, right? But now, Tranquility doesn't have that idea anymore.

Tranquility picked up the photo, looked at it for a long time, took out a tissue to wipe the dust on it, and watched quietly. is so meticulous, it is usually easy to infect a person, Gao Yu looked at her, and his heart was warm.

【Wu】

Tearoom.

Tranquility sat by the window, for outside the window there was a yellow-leaved tree, and the leaves were slowly falling, one, two.

"Do you come here often?" asked Gao Yu. "Yes, the environment is good, and the tea is good. Serenity looked at the tree.

Gao Yu looked at her side face, like she did when she looked at him in the office.

"Do you have a sad story of your own?" Gao Yu asked suddenly.

"Aren't you too?" Tranquility was still in that position.

"Oh, maybe. Gao Yu replied.

However, no matter how sad and painful your story is, you must cherish yourself and live well. Gao Yu said again, as if to remind her.

Tranquility turned her face and looked at him, speechless, silent.

"Well, so are you. "Quiet immersion for a moment also said. They looked at each other and smiled, and tea was served.

Tranquility to the spring of Biluo, a large glass, clear water, tea green, clear and clear. Gao Yu's Pu'er, a big bowl, the soup is thick, warm and mellow, and the rhyme is sweet.

"You say, is the departure of this leaf the pursuit of the wind, or the unretaining of the tree. Tranquility looked at the tree that was losing its leaves.

"Neither. Gao Yu replied.

"What's that?"

This is the law of nature, it calmly accepts the arrangement of fate, and in this way, it can spit out more beautiful new green in the next reincarnation. Gao Yu also looked at the leaves.

Outside the window, the leaves of the tree fell one by one. Gao Yu and Tranquility's eyes were both fixed on the fallen leaves outside the window at the same time. I thought about it for a long time, quietly thinking about something. The fallen leaves overlapped these two bundles of gaze......

【Lu】

Since then, Gao Yu and Ning Jing have never been alone due to their busy work, and they have occasionally met at work, but they only look at each other and smile.

Since then, Serenity has always felt that there has been some subtle change in their relationship, and it is not clear what to say. Sometimes when I met in the elevator, Gao Yu smiled at her, and Tranquility felt an inexplicable peace of mind in the crowded crowd.

Since then, Gao Yu also obviously felt that there was a little more tenderness in Tranquility's eyes when he looked at him. It's just that he can only pretend not to know, and then he quietly thinks about the quiet appearance of her wiping the dust on the photo for him that time, and thinks about her lonely and sad back on that moonlit night.

It was late at night after working overtime, and Tranquility hitched a ride with Gao Yu. The car passed through the bright night, and Tranquility leaned her head against the window to watch the scenery passing by. The breeze blew gently, and she was slightly intoxicated. Gao Yu drove the car very steadily, the corner of his eyes skimmed to her thin shoulder, and an inexplicable feeling surged into his heart, slightly painful.

Arrive downstairs at Tranquility's home.

Gao Yu said, "See you tomorrow." ”

"Come up and eat a bowl of noodles. "Tranquility invites.

"Is it convenient?" Gao Yu was a little surprised.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Serenity smiled.

They walked up the elevator and Tranquility said she would only cook a consommé with a few chopped green onions. Gao Yu said that he only likes to eat clear soup noodles. The tranquil cottage, just like her people, is fresh, clean, and cozy, which is what Gao Yu said, and when he said it, she was cooking noodles in the kitchen. Gao Yu sat on the sofa, drinking the green tea she had just brewed. Tranquility wore a beige shirt and expertly chopped green onions. Gao Yu looked at her silhouette and suddenly felt so warm, this is the family life he likes.

The noodles were cooked, and Tranquility carefully served them. The clear soup noodles have finely chopped green onions floating on them, exuding a warm fragrance.

"Your craftsmanship is good, I want to eat it when I look at it. Gao Yu praised from the heart.

"It's okay, that's what I'll do. Tranquility smiled modestly, but her heart blossomed happily.

Both were hungry and did not like to talk during the meal, and both finished their meals quietly.

After eating, Gao Yu said intoxicatedly: "I haven't eaten such good noodles for a long time, happy." ”

"Then come and eat often when you have time. Tranquility got up and cleaned up the dishes.

"Tranquility, I'm going back to the company headquarters next month. Gao Yu's tone was a little helpless and reluctant.

Tranquility didn't answer for a long time, she only felt as if she was about to climb up what she had just eaten. Tranquility walked to the kitchen, turned her back to him, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and the tears finally fell, dripping on the back of her hand.

"Why is it so fast, I haven't heard you mention it before. Serenity asked calmly.

"I also just received the notice from above, and I haven't been able to tell you yet, but you're the first to know. ”

Gao Yu stood up and walked behind her. Gently put his hand on her shoulder. Serenity's shoulders trembled, like her heart. Gao Yu hugged her into his arms, kissed her hair lightly, and said peacefully: "Tranquility, thank you for meeting you, in my last days." ”

Serenity didn't understand what he meant. Just always remember the temperature of his arms.

【Seven】

When Gao Yu left, Tranquility sent him to the airport. They didn't say much, just hugged each other deeply. Tranquility just means that the journey is safe. Gao Yu just said, thank you, Tranquility, live a good life, and take good care of yourself. At that moment, both of their hearts hurt. But they are still smiling. With a wave of his hand, Gao Yu turned around and never looked back. Tranquility watched his figure disappear into the gate, and she turned around as well, not looking back. But with tears in the corners of their eyes, they confused each other's eyes.

Half a year later, Tranquility missed Gao Yu very much, and finally dialed his number. But what Serenity heard was not the voice she thought about day and night. Tranquility didn't remember what the man said, how many words he said, how many tears she shed, and how she put down the phone, she only remembered that the man said: Gao Yu had died of liver cancer two months ago, died of liver cancer......

She finally understood that he would say: the stars blink to convey their love to the people they love, and it is painful to love each other, but only to look at each other from a distance.

She finally understood that he would say: Floating Leaf understands the laws of nature, it accepts the arrangement of fate calmly, and in this way, it can spit out more beautiful new green in the next reincarnation.

She finally understood that he would say: Tranquility, thank you for meeting you in my last days.

She finally understood that he would say: Thank you, Tranquility, to live well, to take good care of yourself.

She finally understood why he had left his beautiful and kind wife, who was close to him.

She finally understood that he was reluctant to say the word "love" that had been cherished in his heart for a long time.

She finally understood... But it was too late.

【捌】

The sea and the sky are a line, and the yellow spring is falling. Looking back, it is already yin and yang, the end of the world is forever, life and death are boundless, and the memories are also confusing. Heaven has so easily ruined the love of two people. This love has ended before it has even begun. But it is unforgettable.

Tranquility will live well, and she will take good care of herself, because this is also what Gao Yu wants. It's just that Serenity will go on with their memories. Sometimes smiling, sometimes lonely. Of course, she will always remember him hugging her, Temperature.
