The elephant always seemed so gentle, until that day I saw it crying there, and I didn't understand why it was crying.

"You don't know what I want, you just live in your own world, you haven't thought about why we've all been together for so many years, but now it's like this." Lin Qianqian shouted hysterically on the phone, and in the end, we also couldn't escape the time and distance.

On the eve of graduation, Lin Qianqian rested her head on my lap and discussed with me which city we would go to develop together in the future. I thought I'd just stay in the city where the university is located, after all, I've been there for four years, and the city has a better understanding of the customs, and it's relatively convenient to rent a house and find a job.

"Why don't we go back to City C, you can also do something in my father's company, it must be better than you working alone outside, and it will be convenient for us to get married in the future, and you don't have to worry about the house and car." Lin Qianqian asked cautiously. Without a trace of hesitation, I rejected this suggestion very firmly, although I am not a young man with many big ambitions, but I also cannot be sent under the fence and committed to perfection. If I go back with Lin Qianqian and rely on his father to make some achievements, even if this achievement is quite big in the future, I will always live in the shadow of his family for the rest of my life, and I will not be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life.

"I'm still staying here, and it's easy to find a job, but I can participate in the company's school recruitment, do you want to go back?" I asked. "My dad called last time and said to let me go back and was ready for me to take over his company, I don't want to go back, I'm going to be here with you." She said firmly. "You have to think about it, you are the only child in your family, and your father must want you to take over the company, and this family business must be left to you." I touched her head and said. "No, I'm going to join you." Lin Qianqian sat up and looked at me affectionately, and I pinched her face dotingly.

The two of us interned in the same company in the senior year, and the two of us lived together, living our own happy little life, after work during the day, the two of us went to the supermarket to buy some food, learned to cook according to the online video, and often tinkered in the kitchen together for most of the day, and finally chose to order takeout, it seems that neither of us has any talent for cooking. Lying in bed at night, I hugged her and watched a movie together, sometimes watching a ghost movie, this coward, with his head stuffed in the quilt, listened to no scary sounds, and then quietly poked his eyes out to sneak a few looks, and then if he went to the toilet, he had to accompany me.

When we were resting, we both didn't like to go out and liked to nest in our little nest, I sat on the sofa and she was lying on my lap, playing mobile games, as soon as she was killed by the people in the game, she kicked her legs angrily, and I smiled and said that I would avenge her.

I like to read, sometimes sitting on the balcony drinking tea and reading a book, she sits next to me and looks at me quietly. I asked her, "Why are you staring at me all the time, watching your TV series." "You look so handsome when you read books, I want to look at you." She laughs. "I know I'm handsome, Wu Yanzu in G City is not in vain." With that, I ran my hair back with my fingers. "Bah, narcissist." She said. I was not happy to hear this, so I picked her up and put her on the sofa and said, "If you dare to question my face, I will punish you." "You are you, you are Wu Yanzu, I didn't question you." She said as she tried to escape from my clutches, how could I let her escape.

After crossing Wushan together, she slept in my arms like a little sparrow, and it was raining outside. The sound of the rain went from ticking to crackling, and I kissed her on the forehead, imagining that in the future we would get married and have a lovely child, I don't know if it would be a stinky boy or a lovely girl, whether it would be more like her or a little more like me.

Lin Qianqian woke me up early, I woke up in a daze, and I didn't remember anything important today. She looked at me blankly, "Hurry up and wash up, I'm going to school today to take a graduation photo." After that, I kissed the sleepy-eyed and ran to clean up. As soon as I arrived at the school gate, Chubby called me and asked me where I was, why I hadn't come yet, and I was about to start.

I hung up the phone and took Lin Qianqian's hand and sped up the speed of my feet. I haven't seen the three people in the dormitory for a few months, and as soon as I met, they teased me, and Da Qiang first said, "What's the matter, Lu Wei, I've lost weight, and my face is not very good, it's white and unnatural, it's kidney overdraft, right?" Xiaopang also echoed, "If the kidney is overdrawn, use the kidney treasure, the kidney treasure is a good piece to see the curative effect, hahahaha." "You can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, so I'll sprinkle you with more dog food later." I laughed along with them.

A group of people were talking and laughing, and a few girls were pulling each other's sobs there, reluctant to be separated so soon. Yes, we are about to graduate in a blink of an eye, and when this day really comes, we will find that four years is a blink of an eye. We really grew up, lost the title of student, and really oriented to society. After changing my clothes, Lin Qianqian put my hat on right, and whispered to blame me for wearing my hat like a puppet army. "Come on, come on, my classmates all look at me, one, two, three, eggplant." The photographer quickly pressed the shutter, and the photos and youth were frozen together in this summer, and the young faces welcomed another beginning of life.

During the school recruitment period, I interviewed a small financial company, and passed the interview smoothly. After packing my bags, my roommates said goodbye to me one by one, and I wanted to leave one by one. A few people agreed that we would meet here again in five years, no matter whether they were good or not, they would meet again.

I looked at the empty dormitory, and the corridor was also unusually silent, and there was no longer the frolicking and hustle and bustle of the past, and the curtain call of youth was actually a quiet silence. Looking back at this still not very decent school gate, I remembered the expectation and joy when I remembered, and although I had no regrets when I left, I was still deeply reluctant in my heart. "Wang Zihan, where are you, why haven't you been found today?" I gave Wang Zihan a call. "I'm busy, I can't come, I have a bunch of work at hand, let's not talk about it another day." After that, he hung up the phone in a hurry, what is this kid busy all day long?

In the face of a new beginning, like a number of young people who have just graduated, I am full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the future. Of course, at the beginning of the work, it is common to hit a wall, I in line with the purpose of being thick-skinned, you say let you say, you scold you scold, I always greet with a smile. Lin Qianqian is slightly better than me, after all, she is a beautiful girl, although the work is still a little hard, but naturally there are old employees who are willing to help her at work.

I have a meal with Lin Qianqian every day after work, and I am very satisfied to go home and live our two-person world. For our future planning, I want to work hard here, sell the house in my hometown, take out a loan to buy a house, live our happy life, and when some of our older children have a family, we can choose to go to her hometown or my hometown for the elderly. I was full of confidence in my expectations for the future, and I liked to spend my life like this.

But the comfortable life did not go on like this. The arrival of a person broke this peaceful happiness, I thought it would be like the plot in the TV series, Lin Qianqian's father threw me a bank card casually, told me that there would be a number in it that satisfied me, and asked me to leave his daughter, and then I sternly refused, and told him that I and his daughter are true love, and staged a tear-jerking emotional scene.

The result was unusually bland, frighteningly bland. As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw Lin Qianqian sitting on the sofa with a dull expression, and next to me sat a person with bright eyes, two eyebrows that seemed to have just come out of the dye vat, black and shiny, and when I entered the door, his eyes began to look at me.

I could use my toes to think of who this man sitting on the sofa was, I walked straight to the sofa and said, "Hello uncle, I am Lin Qianqian's boyfriend, my name is Lu Wei." The man smiled and said, "Hello, Xiaolu, I often hear Sissi mention you, don't stand still, sit down and let's talk." "I sat there and for the first time I felt so uncomfortable sitting on the couch." Xiaolu, you just joined the work, do you have any difficulties, and do you need help from your uncle? The man said with a smile. No, no, uncle, I'm working quite smoothly now, thank you for your concern. I said.

"That's good, young people still have to endure more hardships, hardship is a blessing, I was also very hard when I was young, I was just with Sissi's mother at that time, and when the two of them got married, they didn't even have money for a wedding, and my family ran together to scrape together 1000 yuan to barely get married, and then I gave Sissi's mother a happy home step by step." He said.

I didn't know how to answer for a while, whether to solemnly promise him that I would definitely be able to give Lin Qianqian a happy home in the future, or to promise him that I would work hard to make some achievements, I didn't say anything, just listened to him.

"Xiaolu, I'll just say it bluntly, I came here this time to take Sissi back, I don't want to break you up, I'm not a conservative and old-fashioned father, for my daughter's marriage and love, I don't want to interfere too much, as long as it's someone she likes, I like it too, after all, there's nothing more important than she's happy than she's happy, and I want her to take over my company gradually when I take her back this time, after all, I'm old now, and I've worked hard for half a lifetime, and it's also for her, this time, I also want to meet you, Xiaolu, you can go back with us, I can also help you in many things to develop over there. He said.

Lin Qianqian looked at me expectantly, kept giving me a look, and asked me to promise her father, but I still refused her father's kindness without hesitation. I have dreams, I also have a little bit of backbone, although I also know how to enjoy the shade with my back against the tree, but I always grow up in the shadow of others. I don't like it, and I don't want my life to be in the hands of others, as a man, I prefer to control it myself and break into this world.

"Uncle, I'd better stay here, the current work is just on the right track, I'm still young and I want to break out of my own world, I also understand your good intentions, it's okay, I can rest and go to see Sissi, now the traffic is so developed, and it's not very far." I looked at him with determined eyes. "Well, okay, then I don't force it, young people want to rely on their own efforts, that's right, I also hope that you can become famous as soon as possible, of course, I also welcome your arrival at any time. Come on, young man, then I won't disturb you talking, Sissi, I'll go downstairs for a walk. With that, he got up and walked outside, and I politely sent him out the door.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Lin Qianqian looking at me crying, I gently touched her face and said, "What are fools crying about, it's not forever separated, it's just a short separation, when I become famous, we can get married, and I can go over to see you when I rest." Or you can come to me when you're free. She sobbed and said, "Why don't you go back with me, is your so-called ambition so important?" Will you be embarrassed to go back with me? I said, "After all these years, you still don't know me?" Although I don't have any big ambitions, but I just want to make a career on my own, not to live in the shadow of others, I don't want all my achievements in the future to be because of you and your father, others say that I am just a man who eats soft rice. Lin Qianqian was silent for a long time and lowered her head, and I smoked silently.

"Then you have to come to see me every week, and if you can't come, I'll come to you." Lin Qianqian looked at me and said. "That's for sure, obedient, you can work hard when you go back, in case I can't get along, and then I don't care about any dignity, I'll go to you and I'll eat soft rice, hahaha." I said with a smile. Sending her and her dad to the high-speed rail station, I suppressed the sourness in my heart along the way, so that I would not shed tears. She cried silently all the way, but I still tried to squeeze out a smile, holding her hands for a long time and reluctant to let go. As we grow older, we not only lose our youth, but we are also forced to live apart, and I am not used to it now, but I will be indifferent in the future.

In the familiar room, the person who got along with me day and night was gone, and the pain of my soul being ripped off filled my whole body, and there was no sound of two people frolicking, and no one would snatch my quilt when I slept at night. I don't know how many times I chewed the food in my mouth, and I needed to poke it in my throat with a stick before I could swallow it. At night, neither of them controlled their tears, they looked at each other in the video, speechless, only tears knew that the pain caused by the first night of separation had filled the entire heart. Even the video of the two of them is still on when they sleep, and they can only sleep peacefully by listening to each other's breathing, even if it is just a faint sound from the mobile phone, it seems that each other is by their side.
