At the beginning of 2018, Xiao Ye suddenly used WeChat to tell Chen Si that Chu had left Naples, although she knew that Chen Si was no longer in Naples.

Just after the first month of 2012, a call from an unfamiliar number suddenly came, and she heard Chen Si's voice. Half a day later, Chen Si appeared in front of her. At this time, it was only a few months after she saw her get on the train, Chen Si seemed to have recovered a lot, and her complexion was very good, but she was still very sad, she didn't say why she came to Dongguan, after seeing Xiaoye, she just hugged her and cried vigorously, she said that she squatted under Shangsha Xiaoye's house, and waited for a day and a night before she saw Chu Li. Xiao Ye asked her if Chu Li had seen her, and she shook her head.

"Why don't you go to him?"

Chen Si shook his head nervously, his hoarse throat like talking, like crying.

"Don't tell him I've been here."

Chen Si also told her that she had started studying again, was in her third year, and planned to go abroad in 2013. Xiao Ye asked her where she was going, she shook her head and said she didn't know, she wasn't ready yet. His tone sounded full of hesitation and hesitation. When leaving Dongguan, Xiao Ye saw her get into a light gray-blue sedan with E license plates. After a few minutes, he poked his head out, waved at Xiao Ye, and squeezed out a smile. Xiaoye touched the cold shoulders of the wind. That was where Chen Si had just laid his chin, and he was wet with tears.

A whole year later, she saw Cheng Si again, Chen Si at that time was a different person than the last time she parted, more haggard than her sister Chen Jing after her death, old to the point of deformation, black eye circles, yellow and chapped skin. The godless eyes seemed to be covered with a film, and the vision was dull. She asked about Chu Li, and Xiao Ye told him that Chu Li had moved away, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Why did you move away?" Chen Si seemed to be in a hurry, "He...... Isn't it nice for him to live there? ”

After hearing that Chu Li was expelled, she cried again, and kept saying, "I hurt him." I hurt him......"

"Brother Chu, he is very good now, he opened his own factory, although it is just the beginning, but you don't have to worry about him."

"Where is he?"

"I can take you."

"No...... No way. Forget it, forget it. The fingers of her hands intertwined. Use the index finger of your right hand to dig at the inside of your left thumb. "Who lives there now?"

"Nobody"

"Can you give me the key? I want to check it out. “

"I'll go with you, okay?"

Chen Si's car drove very slowly, so slow that it took more than two hours to get from Nancheng to Chang'an. Slow to the point that Xiao Ye couldn't help but worry about her driving from Hubei to Guangdong alone.

When he arrived at the room, Chen Si did not look left and right, but sat in the room and cried. Xiao Ye felt extremely depressed, so he had to go to the balcony, but saw Chu Li staring upstairs below. She ran back to the room and said to Chen Si, "Brother Chu is downstairs!" “

As if he had fallen into an evil spirit, Chen Si immediately stood up, quickly turned off the light, and said to Xiao Ye, "Don't open the door!" “

Chu Li's footsteps came from the stairs, and Chen Si hugged Xiao Ye tightly, Xiao Ye could barely breathe. She felt her suppressed crying make her whole body tremble, and a painful whimper came out of her throat as she tried to swallow the tears. Chu Li knocked on the door and shouted outside, but after a while, there was no sound, and he probably left. When Chen Si let go of Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye gently pushed her away: "Chen Si, you have to cheer up a little." ”

Chen Si held her hand: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiao Ye, I'm sorry." “

Xiao Ye cried and said, "You torture yourself like this, and you also torture Brother Chu." It's better to pick it up, it's better to put it down, you have to make a decision, and then go on firmly. ”

She still didn't wait for Chen Si's answer.

When Chen Si left, Xiao Ye noticed that there was a piece of black gauze sewn on her arm. Xiao Ye chased after her and asked, "Is there something wrong at home?" ”

Chen Si nodded, "My father passed away. ”

Xiao Ye stood upright, and suddenly sadness came from it, she reflexively thought of her father Ye Jingrong, and looked at Chen Si bowing his head and wiping his tears, and couldn't help but feel pity. He has no father or mother, and Chen Si is also lonely. She cried out for a while, attracting the sideways eyes of passers-by, but Chen Si came over and comforted her: "Xiaoye, what's wrong with you?" My dad has been sick for a long time, and it may have been a relief for him, and he hasn't been happy since he died. ”

"Chen Si, you study hard, Brother Chu, I'll help you take care of it. Later, when you feel ready, I'll ask him to come to you. ”

Chen Si's nose was red, his eyes were red, and he suddenly smiled and nodded vigorously. opened the car door, came back and squeezed Xiao Ye's hand. She started the car, buckled her seat belt, straightened her hair, touched the rearview mirror, saw her tired and bright self in the mirror, held the steering wheel with both hands, Xiao Ye ran from the side and handed her a cup of something, "Chen Si, you must be strong." Okay, huh? “

"Don't worry. Thank you Xiaoye! ”

"This is herbal tea, refreshing, you drink it while it's hot. Be careful on the road and call me when you have time. ”

Since then, the two often communicate online, the two use a foreign chat software to leave messages for each other, after Chen Si arrived in Italy, he often sent him some photos, and during the holidays, there would occasionally be one or two couriers who crossed the ocean to Xiaoye's hands. Chen Si didn't always ask Xiao Ye directly about Chu Li, but Xiao Ye always told her something. But slowly, she felt that Chen Si still hadn't untied the knot in her heart, so she no longer took the initiative to mention Chu Li. Later, she often heard Chen Si mention a person's name - Johnson.

After a long time, suddenly there was a time, Chen Si was unusual, he didn't use skype, he didn't use whatsapp, but called international calls, and asked himself if Chu Li was sick, Xiao Ye said no, Chen Si sounded very suspicious and angry on the other end of the phone, and threw down a sentence: "Why don't you know that Chu Li is sick?" He hung up. After a while, Chen Si became very busy, and the contact gradually became much less.

Two years later, Xiao Ye had already broken up with Sun Lei, and he was busy with his graduation exams while helping Chu Li with his accounts. Only then did I receive a call from Chen Si again. Chen Si suddenly told her that he had come to Dongguan. According to the agreed time, Xiao Ye went to Nancheng to wait for Chen Si, and sure enough, he saw the gray-blue car. Chen Si looks beautiful and sexy, the whole person is fuller, there is no melancholy in the corners of his eyes, his hair is straight, his skin is like ivory, and the clothes he wears are both fitting and fashionable, a tight black stretch T-shirt, a pair of black jeans underneath, and long boots on his feet. But in such a high temperature in Dongguan, this outfit is obviously not so reasonable. At this time, there was another person sitting in the car, a man in his thirties, who looked very energetic and dressed very well, and when he saw Xiao Ye, he nodded politely and smiled. Xiao Ye always felt that this man was a little familiar after watching it for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Chen Si said that she had just gotten off the plane, and she came to Dongguan directly from Wuhan without taking a shower, and she did not introduce the man in the car to Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye estimated that he was the Johonson. Chen Si took a small box from the trunk and handed it to Xiao Ye, but before Xiao Ye could say thank you, Chen Si drove away.

Later, I accidentally learned that Chen Si left Dongguan Nancheng with his front foot and went to Chang'an Town with his back foot. She guessed that Chen Si found Chu Li based on the name of the rock project. Later, Chen Si said that he moved to France. Then there was no contact.

Chloe is glad that she doesn't have to travel to Chengdu to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam to Paris, or Shanghai to Paris. She took a bullet train from Yichang to Wuhan, and then took a direct flight from Wuhan to Charles de Gaulle Airport. She had already adapted to the fourteen-hour air journey, and she only needed a glass or two of red wine to calm her mind. As early as ten years ago, when she first came to Yichang, she had already divorced her ex-husband, and since Chen Yusen's death, she has no worries. The relationship between her and Chen Yusen is not clear to herself, but she has more tacit understanding than friends and less ambiguous than lovers. Chen Yusen's loyalty to his deceased wife made her admire, but she had never had a deeper relationship with a Chinese man, so she didn't know if it was love, in her hometown of Bordeaux, even at her own age, love is not a particularly luxurious thing, but in China, it seems that men have a little more responsibility and less romance, but when she was gradually exposed to Chinese culture for a few years, she slowly understood Chen Yusen. Therefore, the more forbearant and loyal he is, the more respectful and accomplished she is. She spent her last days with him, and lost him, not only did she lose her attachment to the city of Yichang, but she had more memories and lingered. She secretly decided that she would spend most of her life here if she could. But what makes people happy is that Chen Yusen's eldest daughter Chen Si, her most proud student, cut off all links to Yichang and went in reverse, went to Italy, and then to Paris. Paris is the city where I stayed in France before coming to Yichang, and it is also the place where I lived for 15 years. Although her ex-husband was unkind, she managed to leave a small house for herself. Before Chen Si went to Paris, it had been vacant, but when she heard that she had arrived in Paris, she gladly handed over the house to her for safekeeping.

After getting off the plane, she saw Chen Si standing at the exit, his clothes thin, but he had the heroic spirit and integrity of his deceased father. Chloe believes that even if she fled Yichang, it was not because of cowardice. She had been waiting, waiting for the moment when she understood everything, in her own opinion, she was much less fortunate than herself, but destined to be much luckier than herself in the future. And when courage and strength reappeared in the eyebrows, the corners of the mouth, the wings of the nose, and the black jewel-like eyes of this oriental girl, she was sure that the moment she was waiting for must have come.

"Teacher Chloe, it's been a hard work." Chen Si hugged like a family member and made a veneer salute.

Chloe smiled, put her arm around her shoulder, and felt her constant heat, "You look so good. Is the work okay? ”

"Very good, teacher, let's go home quickly." She gently picked up her luggage and separated the pedestrians, her steps calm and firm.

"Have you decided?" Chloe still can't wait to get home, she wants to know now.

Chen Si turned his head and looked at Chloe, raised his pointed chin, and sank down heavily. "Hmm."

"You're so brave, I'm proud of you."

Yes, sure enough, she overcame herself, overcame everything. She hurried to follow her, smiling in her ear and saying, "I bet there's a white onion stew waiting for me." “

When Chen Si came out of the bathroom, she was already wearing sunglasses. Sitting by the window in front of the right, her eyes kept looking at the man outside, she was haunted by her dreams, and her liver and intestines were broken.
