After Qin Xue returned the wedding ring, Yu Yang's parents also knew the truth about the cancellation of the wedding, and the two old men did not complain to anyone, but they were unwilling to continue to stay in the United States. When they are old, they can't move anymore, so they want to be able to return to their roots.

This time, Yu Yang finally boarded the flight back to G City. After helping his parents take care of everything in G City, he can also do what he wanted to do but couldn't.

The weather at the beginning of January was a bit cold, with a drizzle of rain in the grey sky.

Yu Yang returned to G University alone, and he crossed the familiar boulevard with an umbrella, which was the way he and Xiaojing used to go back and forth every day.

When he walked downstairs to dormitory No. 8, he saw a couple in front of him snuggling and whispering, it was inseparable in love, once upon a time, he and she were just like them, he looked at them with a gesture of looking at the past, smiled at them, and left indifferently; The library was expanded and renovated, and he couldn't find the place to send flowers to Xiaojing, so he sat in a corner by the window, feeling the atmosphere of the past; He walked to the beach where they had their first date, and watched the waves crash violently against the shore and take away the sand and gravel, and he felt as if his heart had been hollowed out, because it seemed as if he had been ruthlessly washed away by the years and love, and he stood on the shore for a long time, like a kind of sacrifice and farewell.

"Yu Yang?"

He seemed to hear someone behind him shouting her, it was Xiaojing's voice, sweet and moving; But when he turned around, he found that there was no figure behind him, and the empty seashore could only be the rhythm of the waves.

I haven't seen her for nearly ten years, and I wonder what she will become now? He couldn't help but sigh a little, ten years seemed to be a long time, and it seemed to be very short.

He stayed alone at the beach for a long time, until the cold wind made his body shiver, and he did not walk out of the school gate.

He wanted to go to the café where Xiaojing used to work, but found that it had become a clothing store. He walked down the side of the road again, and the restaurant in front of him was where they used to meet, but luckily it was still there.

He walked in, sat down in a corner, and ordered some food and drink. The students next to him reminded him of the same way with Zhang Qi back then, three or two people, a case of beer, and then chatting from south to south.

He took out his phone and looked at Zhang Qi's name in the address book for a while before pressing the dial button. At this time, his heart was both excited and apprehensive.

"Hey, hello, who's that?" The fat man's voice was not as smooth as it sounded when he answered his phone in the past, and it sounded polite and serious, after all, the fat man who was doing business, where did he know where this strange call came from.

"It's me, Yu Yang." Yu Yang's voice was mixed with strangeness and unease.

Then he heard a blind beep, and the fat man hung up the phone. He didn't have the courage to call again, and about a few minutes later, his phone rang, and the caller ID was: Zhang Qi.

"You're fucking alive, do you know how long you've been gone? Do you still have these friends of ours......" He listened to the fat man on the other end of the phone scolding, it was the familiar taste of friendship, and he felt like laughing and crying.

"I'm in the old place, do you want to come and have a drink with me?"

"You wait for me, and I'll settle accounts with you in the past." The fat man's tone was very excited, but they all knew that there was happiness and anger in this excitement.

About half an hour later, I saw the fat man walk in angrily and push the man who got up from the chair in the corner so hard that the boss almost rushed over.

"You kid still know to come back, I thought you forgot about us. How great is the United States, and it makes you forget about our friends. After speaking, he raised the wine bottle and drank it all, and then took the empty bottle to Yu Yang.

Yu Yang still remembered their rules, he opened three bottles of wine in one go, and then began to pour them. But he didn't expect that when he reached the second bottle, he already felt his stomach start to churn, he hadn't poured wine so violently for too many years, and his body was a little unbearable, but he endured the discomfort and poured the third bottle into his mouth. Zhang Qi looked at him, snatched the wine from his hand, and poured it into his stomach three times and two times.

"Americans are civilized, don't drink like this, look at the way you drink in pain. Or the United States has good water and soil, and it is white and clean for you, which has to pass by the roadside, and I may not be able to recognize you. Why, Miss Qin didn't come with you to meet your old classmates? As he spoke, he sat down and began to put food in his mouth.

"We're separated." Yu Yang said as he poured a glass of wine into his mouth.

"What's going on? Didn't you throw our Xiaojing here for her? Saying that, Zhang Qi was indignant

He poured wine again.

Yu Yang looked at him in surprise, he didn't know that the reason on campus for him to go to the United States turned out to be this set of rhetoric. He looked at Zhang Qi sadly and said, "Then she thinks so too?" ”

"Big brother, Miss Qin sent all your family photos in the space, our poor sister Xiaojing. You're such a fucking bastard. As he spoke, he wanted to punch Yu Yang again.

"It's not what you see, I went to the United States at that time to disadvantage myself. Being with Qin Xue was also a later thing, no matter what, it was me who failed her. Saying that, Yu Yang lowered his head a little frustratedly.

Zhang Qi only took a serious look at his long-lost friend at this time, he has changed a lot, his face is not as rosy as before, because he has lost weight, the edges and corners are more distinct, he is already a mature and capable face, and his eyes have become deep, losing the former light.

This kind of him is somewhat strange to Zhang Qi.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for too long, and they both seemed a little cramped at first, but they just chatted with each other, drank too much, and gradually talked more.

Now, with the slight drunkenness of alcohol, Zhang Qicai couldn't help but inquire about the things of the year, Yu Yang did not evade, but simply told him what had happened over the years.

Zhang Qi's round eyes widened as he listened, he couldn't believe what he had heard was so bloody.

But looking at Yu Yang's slightly bitter expression in his calm now, Zhang Qi knew how painful he had been, and he didn't know how to comfort Yu Yang for a while. As a brother, he just accompanied Yu Yang to drink glass after glass, and he felt that it was probably the most bitter wine he had ever drunk in his life.

After talking about the past, Yu Yang was silent for a long time before finally starting to speak again: "Xiaojing, how is she doing now?" ”

Zhang Qi sighed helplessly and replied: "It was really bad at first, I didn't cry for you less, and I waited for you stupidly for many years, until I knew that you were with Qin Xue, so I completely lost my heart and went to Shanghai." Fortunately, Chen Ling has been taking care of her by her side, so she should be doing well now. The more he spoke, the quieter he became, and it could be seen that Yang had not let go of this relationship.

"That's good, Chen Ling will love her better than me." After speaking, he pretended to be calm and smiled at Zhang Qi. In Zhang Qi's view, that laughing is more sad than crying. He felt that his brother had changed, that he had become deeper, that he was no longer the boy he had always been with a sunny smile.

Xu because he met his old friend, Xu because he was finally able to confide, under the influence of alcohol, Yu Yang felt that his heart had found a long-lost happiness.

They talked about the past again, and in the haze he seemed to have returned to the past, to the days when he was happy with everyone, and he had not laughed like this for too long.

It was a very cold night, but after drinking, they felt that their hearts were gradually getting the warmth they had not felt for a long time.
