Chapter 60: A Hundred Letters

In the evening, Gao Minghao and his ex-wife Long Zhongping sat face-to-face in the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the tallest building in Miojiang City.

Both looked out the window at the night scene, and they were silent.

After a few minutes, Long Zhongping looked at the weak Gao Minghao and asked with tears in her eyes, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's alright! You okay? Gao Minghao asked.

"It's okay too!"

The two were silent again.

"How is your daughter doing?" Gao Minghao asked.

"It's fine. The college entrance examination is about to begin, and she is very nervous about studying, so she has been living in school and rarely goes home. ”

"Yes, it's time for the college entrance examination. I don't even dare call her lately...... Lose sleep over something...... influenced her learning. Gao Minghao said.

"How's your condition?" Long Zhongping asked.

Gao Minghao didn't answer, avoided the topic, and asked, "In the past year, you haven't told her about our divorce, right?" ”

"Nope. When we divorced, didn't we already discuss it and not tell her? Let's just say that you have to work abroad for a long time and rarely return to China! Long Zhongping replied.

"Thank you! Can keep this secret for me. Gao Minghao nodded gratefully, and then said, "I asked you out today, mainly to ask you for one thing." ”

Gao Minghao said as he took out a USB drive from his bag and handed it to Long Zhongping.

"What is this?" Long Zhongping took the USB drive and asked in surprise.

"In this USB drive, there are 100 letters."

"Letter?"

"Yes. It's a hundred letters that have already been written! ”

"Oh. To whom is the letter written? Long Zhongping asked.

"These 100 letters are all written by me to my daughter. Each letter is arranged by year, month, and day, and from now on, there is an average of four letters per year, for a total of twenty-five years. ”

"You...... What do you mean? Long Zhongping looked at Gao Minghao and asked.

"Excuse me...... When the time I marked was up, I sent it to her through my email, and my email name and password were on the USB drive. ”

Long Zhongping understood what Gao Minghao meant, and her eyes were suddenly full of tears.

Gao Minghao continued: "The content of the letter, I wrote it according to my imagination. After she was admitted to college, during her college years, after she graduated, when she worked, when she got married, and when she had children......"

"Old high...... You...... Don't talk about it...... I know! Don't worry! Long Zhongping couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell.

"When the last letter is finished, tell your daughter the truth! Then...... She's in her forties, so she should be able to accept it......," Gao Minghao said as he coughed a few times.

"Lao Gao, we are a family, why don't you let us share it for you? How can you carry such a heavy burden alone? ”

"Zhongping, thank you very much for being with me for so many years, and for giving birth to such a well-behaved and excellent daughter. Thank you very much! Gao Minghao's tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Then why don't you let us go down with you? Even if there is only one last period left, it is better to be together as a family than you alone! ”

"I'm sorry! I really have something important to do! Gao Minghao wiped his tears and said firmly.

"What's the important thing? Even my wife can't know? ”

Gao Minghao choked up and said, "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! ”

"Hey! Don't embarrass you! I know you're a very strong person! I know I can't persuade you what you have decided. ”

"Actually...... I'm doing this for the good of you and your daughter! Trust me! Gao Minghao looked at Long Zhongping and said.

"Of course I believe you! After all these years, I know what kind of person you are. It's just that...... I'm worried...... You're alone...... Tired! ”

Zhong Ping...... I'm running out of time! I'm almost done, and I still have some finishing touches left. This meeting may ...... Probably the last time we saw each other. I owe you only the next life! Gao Minghao said guiltily.

"Old Gao ......" Long Zhongping grabbed Gao Minghao's hand, he couldn't control his emotions at all, and cried bitterly.

Gao Minghao also grabbed Long Zhongping's hand and said, "I am a person who has lived for more than forty years, now it's time to leave!" ”

"What has lived for forty more years?"

"Nothing...... Take good care of your daughter, and start a family if you have the right one! ”

"Aren't you going to see your daughter?"

"Why don't I want to see her? I really want to see her! But look at the way I look now, how do I see her? Gao Minghao said as he pointed to his haggard face.

Long Zhongping looked at Gao Minghao, and he did look seriously ill.

Gao Minghao continued: "I hope ...... She always thought that her father was still in this world...... Instead of yin and yang separating ......"

Long Zhongping wiped her tears and said, "At this time, the child should study on his own at night, you can call your daughter." ”

Gao Minghao took out his mobile phone and dialed his daughter's number.

"Daddy!"

"Daughter, are you studying next night?" Gao Minghao asked.

"Just down. Dad, you haven't been home for a year, are you okay abroad? ”

"Very good! It is...... It's so busy! Gao Minghao choked up and said.

"Dad, what the hell are you doing abroad?"

"This ...... This is a national task, and it must be kept highly secret! Gao Minghao smiled and said.

"And how long will it take you to get back?"

"This ...... I can't say clearly, it depends on the arrangement of the superiors. You have to keep my work abroad a secret! ”

"Of course! I know. My dad was on a special mission abroad, which is a state secret! ”

"Father and daughter are in contact by e-mail, and I will write to you in a while. You don't call Dad, it's inconvenient! You know! ”

"Okay. Dad, then you have to pay attention to safety abroad, I'm in the dormitory! ”

"Daughter...... Goodbye......" Gao Minghao stopped talking, immediately controlled his emotions, and choked in his throat.

Gao Minghao hung up the phone and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Then you're ready to ...... yourself Where is the arrangement? I will...... I'll be going to see you often! Long Zhongping asked.

Gao Minghao smiled and said, "Thank you!" I didn't make any arrangements, it was very simple, sprinkle the ashes into the river and flow to the sea! ”

"Old Gao ......" Long Zhongping wanted to speak and stopped.

"I didn't expect God to arrange my fate like this! Go with the flow! Gao Minghao stood up with a smile and said, "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, so we will ...... Farewell......"

"Old Gao ......" Long Zhongping said as she got up and walked to Gao Minghao's side and hugged Gao Minghao.

"Zhong Ping, look...... How beautiful the night view of Mio River is! Gao Minghao said while holding Long Zhongping while looking out the window.

Outside the window, the Mio River is lined with high-rise buildings, the lights are bright, the stars are dotted, and the cruise ships on the river are flowing slowly, everything is so peaceful and harmonious, poetic and picturesque.
