I would rather not embrace, as long as I can grow old with you

Wu Jing was silent for three seconds and then said, "Then I will like you, let's be together."

As Wu Jing and I walked behind them, Wu Jing grinned and said, "Show off your love, and you'll die quickly"

That night, Wu Jing accompanied me home. We walked one after the other, and neither of us spoke a word

I leaned out from the balcony and called out to Wu Jing: "Wu Jing, your dryer is broken"

This was my last visit to Suzhou, where the inn displayed a sign indicating it was under renovation. The new owner intends to transform it into a coffee shop

No," Kang Zizhou said, "Su Yi, I just want to tell you that starting and ending a relationship is not a trivial matter. Please think carefully before making a decision. I hope that next time, you can take your feelings more seriously.

Wu Jing said: "Su Yi, I do not know what has happened between you, but seeing you so upset, why not tell him and bring him back? He and Chen Qiqi have already broken up."

Slender and tall, as if time has turned back to that year, the damp and cold winter in Hong Kong

We casually say "Alright" with our mouths, but in our hearts, we understand better than anyone that it will never happen again

He remembers me

Having delayed for so long, I believe it is time to get married

He stood under the dim streetlight, lit a cigarette, turned his head to look at me, and we gazed into each other's eyes

In the beginning, we simply chatted like ordinary friends, discussing some interesting things around us, or keeping each other company when we couldn't find anyone to watch a movie with.

He had ordered a table full of dishes, and upon seeing me push the door open and enter, he raised his eyebrows and said: "You arrived just in time; the food is still hot"

On the third attempt, he finally picked up the call and softly said: "Su Yi"

"Coward," I looked into his eyes, filled with anger to the point of tears, yet I did nothing. I simply said, "Kang Zhi Zhou, you coward."

Happy birthday. I stared at him blankly

When one day I discovered that the person you liked was Kang Zizhou, I was truly furious, feeling deceived by the two of you working together, " Wu Jing said, " We grew up together wearing split-crotch pants since childhood, my brother. Moreover, he already has a girlfriend.

I traveled alone, sitting in a hard seat for over 20 hours to Suzhou. By the time I arrived at the inn I had booked, it was already night.

After returning, Kang Zizhou will package the photos taken along the way and send them to us. While I was downloading them, I received another email

By that time, it was already the off-peak season for tourism in Suzhou, and the owner of that inn had changed, along with its decor. I would stay there for an entire week, wandering around Suzhou alone, and over time, I became as familiar with the streets and alleys of this city as a local.

He couldn't help but laugh and said to me, "I don't think I'm that handsome."

He turned around to look at me, yet I still could not see his face clearly. I asked him where this place was, and he replied, "It is Suzhou River."

He is capable of preparing a splendid feast, and to express my gratitude, I occasionally make some desserts for him

I opened it, and inside was a solo photo of myself. I was sitting with my back to the camera on a section of a dried-up stump, my hair blown up by the wind

He smiled, crouched down, and helped me pick up the clothes on the ground

At that time, I read a book that contained a very popular saying, known by almost everyone. The saying goes: There was that person in the world, and all those who came after became mere compromises; I am unwilling to settle for a compromise

He smiled and said, "It's so late now, you should head back. I won't see you off."

He relaxed his brow and smiled: "Osmanthus is my favorite flower"

Wu Jing asked: "Is it because of Kang Zizhou?"

I stood up, selected a song by Kay Tse titled "Murong Xue," and earnestly watched the screen as I sang slowly: "I am not me, when you turn and leave, the one in Suzhou is not me"

I called him: "Kang Zizhou, come down."

I am numb with despair

It is a pity that there are still two months until the flowering period

He did not speak and hung up the phone. I sat cross-legged on the bench by the streetlight, counting in my heart "1, 2, 3......" When I reached "100", Kang Zizhou appeared

In that photograph, I appear so lonely

I alone did not give him any gifts, and no one found it strange, after all, it seemed that Kang Zhi Zhou and I were really not familiar with each other. In fact, it is not like that; I want to give him all of myself, but this sounds like a joke.

That is the song he wrote for me

After a long time, I finally choked out, "Thank you. I also wish you a happy birthday"

He smiled and raised his eyebrows: "What a coincidence, so am I"

He is absolutely right; he calls me sister-in-law because I am Wu Jing's girlfriend

I have finally cried for Kang Zizhou once again

A tacit understanding suddenly developed between us; every sunny afternoon, he plays the guitar in the yard while I sketch in the corridor on the second floor. We can spend an entire afternoon together in silence, quietly accompanying each other.

I once sat there, watching the unfamiliar boys playing basketball on the court beside me. In fact, I could see nothing, only hearing the sound of the basketball "thud thud thud." What I liked was that sound, full of vitality.

He couldn't help but laugh, his sword-like eyebrows arched: "Sister-in-law, you can't flirt with me like this."

Because I know that neither Kang Zizhou nor I can turn back anymore

A gust of wind arose, causing the trees beneath the balcony to sway gracefully; it was only then that I tilted my head back and clearly saw his face

Wu Jing was somewhat irritated, yet he did not know what to say to me. He took a deep breath and said: "Sing a song, Zizhou is celebrating his birthday today, don't be so unhappy"

My boyfriend drove to pick me up, and on the way back, snow began to fall from the sky. I gazed out the window in a daze and said to him: "I once liked a city where it never snowed in winter."

Not long after, Wu Jing had a sudden whim, rented a boat, and invited Kang Zhi Zhou and his girlfriend. The four of us went to Saigon to see the sea together

In the library, in the classroom, in the supermarket, or simply along a blossoming path

I flipped through them one by one, spending a full three days, and finally found the notebook where I had left my message back then

I have been sitting in the corner eating fruit, consuming plate after plate, when Wu Jing walked over and looked at me somewhat awkwardly, saying: "Why are you so hungry? Let me order something for you."

Su Yi

He remembers everything

几乎是一个爱情故事

After a long time, I finally spoke softly: "This is osmanthus. In my homeland, it represents nostalgia and longing for home"

Most people believe that Hong Kong does not have winter; however, I think it simply arrives a bit later than in other places. In February, just after the Spring Festival, every morning when I open the window, I am greeted by a vast expanse of fog outside. The mist drips from the eaves onto the balcony railing, and clothes and bed linens hung outside for a whole week will not dry.

I waved at him and handed him a can of beer. He opened it and drank it all in one go. He placed the empty can at my feet

Su Yi, the one who should say sorry is me, he said, do you know how I found out

I stared intently at the screen, as if everything in this room had nothing to do with me

Everything, just like this, perhaps I was merely having a beautiful dream, in which butterflies flew by, and I believed it to be true

Between us, there lies distance, time difference, time, tears, and more, which have formed a thick wall that cannot be pushed down or crossed over

The other three boys sitting at the mahjong table in the room simultaneously whistled and laughed, saying: "Oh, sister-in-law."

In the winter of 2014, I held the phone and burst into hysterical tears

I felt as if I had gone mad, picking up the phone and dialing a series of numbers that I had never saved but had always kept in my heart.

I hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Alright"

As the song concluded, the young man suddenly lifted his head, cradling his guitar, and smiled at me, saying: "May I take a look at your painting?"

So are you going to scold me? I asked

Just as Wu Jing came downstairs to open the security door for me, he saw the person beside me and waved his hand, saying, "Come up."

Once, I dragged Zizhou to drink with me. The two of us consumed eight bottles of vodka, and I made him vomit. After he finished throwing up and we returned, he fell asleep on the table. I went to wake him up, and then I suddenly heard him say, 'Wu Jing paused for a moment, as if recalling the scene from that day, and he said, Su Yi, Su Yi.'

No. 2 When you turn around and leave, what remains in Suzhou is not me

He turned his head and simply said: "You have had too much to drink"

No. 3 You take away the spring plowing and autumn harvest, passing through each day

The next moment, he asked me: "Su Yi, have you ever loved me?"

He replied softly, "Alright"

In the summer of 2010, I did not go to Suzhou

Chen Qiqi raised his fist, looking as if he was about to hit him. Wu Jing rushed forward, holding his head: "Don't! I'll treat you to ice cream."

This is a story about missed opportunities

Sometimes, you know how good a person is, yet you choose not to believe it. You insist on giving them up, pretending to be indifferent, saying that without this person, you can still live very well.

You are

Kang Zhi Zhou, I said, "Be with me."

Both Kang Zhi Zhou and I chose to make do. In the end, we could only attribute all the mistakes to being too young

Yet I still find it so sorrowful. For the world is so small, we have truly reunited once again, even becoming classmates; for the world is so vast, he is in the next class, yet in the span of six months, we have never encountered each other even once

I once thought that the beginning of loving someone was a heartbeat, but now I understand that it is actually heartache.

However, I have not been serious enough. If I could persevere just a little longer and not indulge in my momentary weakness, then perhaps I would be able to stand before you with greater confidence now

The airport is bustling with people, yet not a single one is Kang Zhi Zhou

He nodded slightly, reached out to embrace me, and kissed my lips: "Rest well, darling"

I just learned that this person is also a friend of Wu Jing

I was taken aback, staring blankly at Wu Jing, unsure of what to say

I am no longer the girl I was five years ago, with short hair that barely reached my ears, dressed in the simplest T-shirt and shorts, small and dark. I have styled my hair into beautiful wavy curls, learned to wear high heels, and my eyelashes are long and curled. Before going out, I carefully spray "Marry Me" on my wrist

We have experienced the same heartbeat, the same heartache, the same loneliness, the same regrets, the same unwillingness, the same weakness, and the same helplessness

"Why?" he asked

Yet in my heart, there is such sorrow, a sorrow that is almost despairing, one that no one can alleviate

My Swedish classmate behind me saw this video and exclaimed, "What flower is this? It's truly beautiful."

However, I feel it is not enough; the kind of overwhelming emotion that makes one want to cry in an instant, the joy of encountering this person among millions, cannot be adequately described in any language.

I followed behind the two of them up the stairs; this was not my first time visiting Wu Jing's home. Wu Jing and I are in the same project group for a graduate course, and after each discussion, I would eagerly run to Wu Jing's house, where he would prepare delicious boiled fish for me.

When Wu Jing spoke my name, I could not help but cry

Thank you, he said

"It is estimated that it cannot be found anymore, ten years ago," the boss smiled helplessly, yet still went to help me dig out the message books that were packed in several large boxes, "You can take a look for yourself."

I deeply miss those nights, enjoying an ice cream or a piece of cake, sitting alone for a while, then getting up and heading home, with a mountain of homework and papers to write, and the night still feeling very long

I was just starving to death, and without any pleasantries, I picked up my chopsticks and started eating. After finishing a bowl of rice, I finally felt a bit better. Wu Jing looked at me with a complex expression and said, "Su Yi, is this how you live alone?"

He suddenly spoke up and said: "Happy Birthday, Su Yi"

Kang Zhi Zhou turned around to look at me, and our eyes met. I did not know what he was thinking, so I gave him an awkward smile

The beautiful scenery is still here, but both he and I have missed the appointment.

In those years of adolescence, I was truly loved by someone.

On the day of Kang Zizhou's twenty-fourth birthday, a group of us went to KTV to celebrate with him.

The sun fell on his face, and he squinted his eyes slightly, looking as beautiful as a painting. In that moment, I suddenly felt my heart skip a beat, and I said, "Today is my 18th birthday."

"Then I invite you to drink osmanthus wine," I said, "to compensate for your gift."

Back at my place, my roommates had already gone to bed, leaving a tangerine-colored lamp on for me. Feeling empty inside, I put on my headphones and left the room.

I didn't sleep all night, sitting on the balcony and listening to "Murong Xue" for the whole night. The next day, I broke up with Wu Jing.

Perhaps it was the influence of alcohol, or perhaps it was my submission to the moment of weakness, I accepted his embrace.

During my four years in university, there have been some people pursuing me to varying degrees, and my friends around me have all paired up. Being alone in a foreign country, there have been many times when I felt so weak that I wished someone could reach out and protect me.

In September of this year, I went to Japan to study at university. I only return home once every one or two years, and every time I come back, I will visit Suzhou once.

I looked up, but he had already turned and left.

I walked down the mountain along the winding mountain road. In the early hours of the morning, the streets of Hong Kong were deserted, with only the occasional taxi whizzing by, as fast as ghosts.

I did not attend Kang Zizhou's wedding. That autumn, after completing the paper in my hands, I took a leave of absence from my advisor and returned to China

He has become steady and reticent, with a slight pursing of the lips when he smiles, no longer as carefree as he used to be. Time has left indelible marks on our bodies and souls.

In that year in Suzhou, the sun shone brightly. He sat on a stone bench, bowing his head to play a piece of "Fishing Boat Singing in the Evening." I spread out my sketchbook on my lap, with my hair in braids, swinging my legs, softly humming along.

I was stunned by the news that he was about to leave before I could digest it, and could only say, "Okay."

After the separation, I once thought of many, many sentences to describe my feelings at this moment, but I couldn't find a suitable one. Zhang Ailing said, "So, you are here too."

I asked him: "What is the name of this song? I have never heard it before."

I never thought that at 28 years old, someone would still call me a little girl. I said, "There used to be a guestbook hanging outside, and I wrote on it. Can I take a look at it again?"

That kind of pain that goes deep into the bone marrow, it seems like I'm about to die because of it.

And the most ironic thing about fate is that, on the third day of my relationship with Wu Jing, I encountered this person once again.

During this year's Spring Festival, Hong Kong followed the usual practice of having a three-day holiday, and most of the students chose to return home. Meanwhile, a few of us went to Wu Jing's house to make dumplings and eat hot pot, turning his home into a complete mess

In a typical Hong Kong residential area, a tabby cat stretched lazily and happily jumped off the fence. A person stood under the utility pole at the bottom of the stairs, wearing a black knitted sweater. The fog was too thick, and as I approached, I noticed he was holding a cigarette in his hand, but it was unclear whether it was lit or not

"I guess," he said, "Su Yi, there are only two things in the world that cannot be concealed: a cough and love"

Love is simply love, and in the end, great love is merely love

"Su Yi, don't be so boring," Wu Jing glanced at me, then took out a stack of money from his wallet and placed it in front of the cards. He stood up and waved his hand at me, saying, "You come, if you lose, it's on me."

This is perhaps the gentlest thing I have ever done for Kang Zizhou

Wu Jing once mocked me: "Su Yi, you are truly a rare specimen, a twenty-three-year-old who has never been in a relationship."

But I have never looked back.

He probably didn't recognize me at all, or perhaps he never remembered me.

When the young man stood up from the sofa, I realized just how tall he was, casting a shadow over me. He walked over to the dryer, took a glance, then turned his head and looked at me with an expression identical to that of Wu Jing, squatting down to plug in the power cord.

We did not say goodbye to each other, nor did we even know each other's names

We looked at each other like two fools, and finally he couldn't help but laugh first and said, "Happy birthday."

I have always told others that I know Kang Zizhou, it was during the winter in Hong Kong.

No

I shook my head to refuse his coat, and he became somewhat irritated, throwing the garment onto my head: "Put it on."

No

I set down my chopsticks and stared at him blankly: "Do you know?"

After taking two steps, Wu Jing turned back and said to Kang Zhi Zhou: "Please help me take a couple of pictures of your sister-in-law; she looks so beautiful today"

He sat on the railing of the corridor, holding a guitar, with his head lowered, playing a piece of music. The surroundings were quiet, and as I watched him and listened, it seemed as if I could smell the fragrance of osmanthus.

Ten years later, I, Su Yi at the age of twenty-eight, clutched a message book that had aged to a yellowed state and began to cry heart-wrenchingly

The phone was busy for a long time, and no one answered. I hung up and dialed again, but still no one picked up.

I sent him an email saying thank you

On the day I flew from Chengdu to Sweden, my friend came to the airport to see me off. She kept saying to me: "Suyi, once you get there, just study diligently, graduate and get a green card, find a boyfriend, get married and have children, and don't come back."

My heart beats like thunder

"Who else, like you women, sticks together every day when things are good?" Wu Jing said

I said: "Forget it, I look terrible in photos, so I'll just take some pictures of the scenery"

I couldn't care less: "What's wrong? I'm doing quite well, I've gained 7 pounds"

In this day and age, the inn business is hard to manage, he said, it is a matter of living from dawn to dusk, and everyone is just trying to make a living

No. 1 You rise above the mountains and rivers, but it is not I in the azure waves

Before meeting Kong Zizhou, I never believed in fate. After falling in love with him, I believe in all the legends and supernatural phenomena in the world.

This joke that heaven has played on me, I believe I will never be able to accept it in my lifetime

Later, I listened to countless songs, yet I never heard the one that Kang Zhi Zhou played for me on the day he left Suzhou at the age of eighteen

Before long, we graduated

He hesitated at first, then finally said: "Su Yi, perhaps some things are only beautiful in imagination, but in reality, they are not like that"

Kang Zizhou looked into my eyes, hesitated to speak. We remained silent for a while, and he suddenly said, "Actually, I am not qualified to judge you, because I am also... I'm sorry."

On that day, the sun was shining brightly. Kang Zizhou, carrying a DSLR camera, walked ahead with Chen Qiqi, who was wearing a beautiful dress. As the wind blew, she turned her head back, and he pressed the shutter, capturing a scene as beautiful as a painting

He chuckled mockingly, then pointed at the dish in the center of the table: "Look, your favorite boiled fish, but I don't think it's as delicious as the one I make"

Then what? I said softly, I already have a new boyfriend, perhaps we will get married, perhaps we will not, but I have already tried to move forward, I should say, both he and I have already moved forward too much

She held me tightly, repeatedly saying: "It will get better, Su Yi, it will get better"

I cover my mouth; at this moment, I should clearly be smiling, yet I am in so much pain that I cannot utter a single word

He turned around and shrugged: "No need to thank me, just call me Kang Zhi Zhou."

Or perhaps it is a relationship that has not yet begun, yet is already forever ended

When you most want to see someone, you look up and see them. All the romance in the world pales in comparison to the poignancy of this moment

I saw a person downstairs from my house, Kang Zizhou, is that you

"I don't want to persuade you about anything," he said, "but I still hope you know that Wu Jing is very upset now. We have known each other for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen him so sad."

No. 5 And the beautiful scenery conceals me, as I live in the beauty of the past

Wu Jing reached out to take my hand. I stood in front of Kang Zizhou, unsure of how to respond, and could only allow him to hold my hand.

On the seventh day, he suddenly came to knock on my door. I was wearing my Hello Kitty pajamas and opened the door looking disheveled, and upon seeing him, I felt an overwhelming urge to find a crack in the ground to hide in

When I was in Hong Kong, I often walked alone to a 7-Eleven at the hillside around eleven or twelve at night after leaving the library to buy milk and sandwiches for the next day. It was very dark around, and only that store was lit up, which I liked very much. The store manager took in a stray dog that always lay listlessly at the door, and I would occasionally feed it some ham sausage

No need for that, I said

Hello, I said, "My name is Suyi."

I understand

I am so ashamed that I wish I could find a crack in the ground to hide in, yet on the surface, I must maintain a calm smile and say: "Thank you"

I am deeply saddened, and I think to myself, if only it had been a little earlier, just a tiny bit earlier would have sufficed. Yet, I also feel an immense disdain for such thoughts, as I feel guilty towards Wu Jing.

"It's alright," Kang Zizhou smiled, rinsing off the seasoning with mineral water, "It's very delicious, thank you."

Indeed, I brushed the dirt off my knees and took the basket he handed me, thank you

I understand, please convey my apologies to him

Then I thought, perhaps that song never had a name at all

I truly have no other option but to call Wu Jing and ask if I can borrow their dryer

He has never sent me home, perhaps because the journey home is simply too long. I watch his figure, growing smaller and smaller, and more and more distant

He threw the cigarette in his hand into the trash can and said, "Alright"

This story has become very important to me, because of you all, thank you

There are couples walking side by side, standing under the license plate, reluctantly saying long words to each other

I held my friend tightly, crying uncontrollably. As I cried, I asked her: "Why can't we be like children, laughing when we are happy, crying when we are sad, and boldly expressing our feelings for someone we like?"

I have no gift for you, do you have anything you want to eat?

I looked at a plate of enticing boiled fish, sprinkled with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, which made my mouth water. Suddenly, I recalled those days in Hong Kong, when I shamelessly sat at Wu Jing's home, nestled on the sofa scrolling through Facebook, while he busied himself in the kitchen preparing my favorite boiled fish

I sat motionless in the chair, staring at the screen.

Wu Jing turned around and gave me a look of disdain, then said to the guy sitting on the sofa playing with an iPad, "Zizhou, can you help me take a look?"

Several times, while wearing headphones and listening to music, I suddenly heard the same melody coming from the courtyard as in my headphones. I wanted to tell him about this wonderful coincidence, but then I felt that there was no need for me to say anything.

The next day, I woke up when the sun was already high in the sky. I yawned and walked out of the room, intending to find some pastries to eat. However, I suddenly heard the sound of a guitar. I looked down and saw a boy playing the guitar in the courtyard of the inn.

That is a radiant youth that belongs solely to Kang Zhi Zhou and me

I shook my head and said, "I have quit spicy food for a long time."

"Oh," he said expressionlessly, "I understand. Let's play another round."

Because the mountains are near the sea, even without rain, there are sparkling droplets of water on the treetops. When the wind blows, the leaves rustle softly. I do not know how long I have been walking, but after a long turn at the corner of a street, I saw a 7-Eleven that is open all night.

I recognized at a glance that these are characters from Kangzizhou, but I can never know when they were written.

Later, there was a time when I listened to the song "Murong Xue" using a mobile app, and I saw many comments on the screen saying "I like Lvyige" and "I came for Su Yi and Kang Zhi Zhou"... At that moment, the feeling still makes my heart warm when I think back on it

He stood up and said, "I won't accompany you back, Su Yi. Goodbye."

So I collapsed completely, tiredly rubbing my temples, and said: "Kang Zhi Zhou, goodbye"

Kang Zhi Zhou, who had not updated his status on social media for many years, posted a very short video on Facebook. I forced myself to open it despite my sadness. Under the bright sunlight, a gust of wind blew, and countless white petals fell from the sky.

His favorite osmanthus has not bloomed yet, and he has to wait another two months for the flowering season.

I casually said: "Yes, because no one likes me."

Ah, there are some. When did you write it

I almost blurted out, "What does his birthday have to do with me?" But that would be too immature. So, I smiled and said, "Sure."

After going upstairs, I only realized that earlier Wu Jing and his roommates were playing mahjong. Wu Jing sat down and asked me, "Do you want to play cards?"

And I never thought that I would meet Kang Zizhou here.

Cars are passing by, wealthy people driving million-dollar sports cars with low chassis, flying past me in an instant, the sound of the engine lingering for a long time.

He looked up at me and I happened to step into a puddle with a "thump" and fell to the ground, sliding down the slope and scattering the clothes in the laundry basket all over the ground. He was startled and stared at me blankly, while I quickly got up and looked at him embarrassedly.

Until now, the only thing I could do was to suppress my anger and not let it harm him.

He didn't answer me, just smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."

Five years ago, on the night after the college entrance examination ended, I had a dream.

Wu Jing asked me: "Su Yi, who have you fallen in love with?"

Without any opening remarks, without "hello" or "long time no see," he just called out my name directly.

Sunset in the west, rolling waves in the sea, seabirds flying overhead.

I didn't really want to play, but I didn't want to seem too unsociable, so I sat down. Later, I lost a round and Wu Jing said, "Let's play truth or dare, Su Yi."

During this year, we were 18 years old, our youth had just begun, and the future was vast. No one knew where each of us would go.

At that time, my handwriting was so immature, stroke by stroke, neat as if practicing calligraphy. I wrote on it: Soulmate is just like a ghost, everyone talks about it, but few see it.

I dreamt of a vast river, shimmering under the moonlight. A wooden boat was anchored in the middle of the river, with a person sitting on it, facing away from me. His silhouette appeared thin and bony, probably fishing. I stood on the shore, repeatedly calling out, "Hey, hey!"

I firmly held the handset and finally said, "Kang Zizhou, can we start over?"

After dinner, everyone gathered around the TV, watching the Spring Festival Gala while drinking. My alcohol tolerance is terrible, but because I was so happy, I couldn't help but drink a bottle.

But how can it be good? My name and his are even connected. In order to forget him, I must first forget myself.

No. 6 I would rather not embrace, but be with you until old age.

These past three years, no one around me knows about my past, so when I heard these three words again from someone else's mouth, I unexpectedly felt that they were so unfamiliar that they made me want to cry.

He still owes me a plate of osmanthus cake, so I will repay him with a bottle of aged fine wine.

He smiled first, saying, "Don't panic, I haven't fallen in love yet."

Children shouldn't learn to drink alcohol. Wu Jing snatched my bottle of wine.

At the age of twenty-eight, I was still struggling with my thesis in Sweden, while Kang Zizhou finally got married.

He just smiled and said, "I'm leaving Suzhou today, let me play a song for you."

At the beginning of the show, everyone cheered and asked him and Chen Qiqi to sing the song "Flowers in Full Bloom and Full Moon".

Please say it again.

Returning home, I wearily opened the windows one by one. In the instant I turned around, I suddenly froze, then I turned back again and looked at the black figure next to the electric pole downstairs.

Suyi, stop messing around.

Why not continue driving? I asked sadly.

No. 4 However, it's all just holding onto your misty smoke.

She waited for him for five years, but was unable to meet him. On the third day after she gave up, he appeared.

The weather in Hong Kong." He said to me in Mandarin

After graduation, Kang Zizhou went to a consulting company in Beijing. I received an offer for a Ph.D. program in Europe and set off in September of that year, embarking on a new and even longer journey of wandering

I carried a large basket of clothes and went to Wu Jing's house wearing pajamas and slippers. His house is not far from mine, just a long downhill walk away.

Since the choice has been made, there is nothing more to say. Gritting my teeth, I will press on with determination.

However, I still have not encountered him again

My name is Su Yi, and his name is Kang Zizhou

Write down this story, for Su Yi and Kang Zhi Zhou, for that 24-hour convenience store, and for my youth that rushed by like the wind

And in the coming summer, I may never go there again

I do not know how to respond to him, so I said: "No, I will never love anyone again"

On the back of that page, someone wrote down two simple words

He is no longer the eighteen-year-old boy who wore a baseball cap and was carefree.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone was looking at us. I remained silent for three seconds, then replied: "I am sorry. I did not."

On the night I left Hong Kong, I bought beer and went to the bottom of Kang Zizhou's house

Chronicles of Time

This autumn, I came to Hong Kong to pursue my graduate studies and met Wu Jing. Since we live close to each other, I go to Wu Jing's house for meals every week

I harbor unspeakable grievances and regrets within my heart, tightly closing my mouth and biting my lip

Like many others, I did not even attend the graduation ceremony. Bidding farewell to one's youth is, after all, a particularly difficult thing to do

Su Yi said, we casually say "sure" with our mouths, but in our hearts, we understand better than anyone that it will never happen again. Su Yi missed Kang Zizhou, just as Xu Nuo lost Qiao Zihua, and from that moment on, bid farewell to all the joys and sorrows of a lifetime.

I asked him: "When did you meet Kang Zizhou?"

I lifted my head, and he suddenly bent down gently and embraced me. This was my first time being hugged by a boy, mixed with the salty scent of the sea breeze

I was stunned for three seconds before saying, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere."

I stood at the entrance of the store for a long time, and he couldn't help but ask me: "What are you looking at, young lady?"

No, I have no money

I want to say, I have, Kangzizhou, I have.

I held up the fork and said, "This fruit is delicious."

We played at the beach from dawn till sunset, and then had a barbecue there. I sprinkled a lot of chili powder on the grilled food and handed it to them. Wu Jing patted my head and said, "Zizhou doesn't eat spicy food."

I gave them a glare, took my clothes to the balcony to find the dryer. This is my first time using a dryer. I put the clothes in, adjusted the time and drying mode somewhat understandingly, waited for a while, but found no response.

Everyone felt awkward. Afterwards, we played a few more rounds, but they were all trivial questions. In the end, the enthusiasm waned, and Chen Qiqi felt a bit tired. So, we all dispersed.

During the loneliest and most desolate times, when I feel like I can't hold on any longer, I rely on this sentence to get through.

He still didn't look into my eyes, and only said softly, "Yes."

Kang Zhi Zhou's girlfriend is named Chen Qi Qi, and she is also our classmate. Wu Jing once casually mentioned to me: "They both started on the same day as us."

The book is opened, and on the only page, there is a drawing of a boy wearing a baseball cap, sitting among the green trees and red flowers, bowing his head to play the guitar

After many years, I finally admit that missing out on Kang Zizhou means losing all the joys and sorrows of my life

After the song ended, I put down the microphone and returned to the corner, burying myself in eating fruit

That night, Wu Jing accompanied me home, and the streetlights lit up one by one. The sea breeze was too strong, causing me to shiver. Wu Jing shot me a glare and took off his coat to drape it over my shoulders

I have never known..." I said

I lowered my head and said, "I am sorry"

I did not speak again.

I endured the most despairing four years of my university life. In the year of my graduation, I traveled around Japan alone with my backpack. Standing atop the Tokyo Tower, I saw many couples coming and going around me, the entire city illuminated with dazzling lights. I wanted to call out his name from the depths of my heart, yet I realized that I didn't even know his name.

The car is parked downstairs from my residence. My boyfriend helped me take the luggage from the car. I said, "You don't need to accompany me, go back early."

I nodded, turned around, and left. The road home meanders up and down, yet lonely without an end in sight. That is unexpectedly my latter half of life.

He nodded and didn't speak again.

I held on from the age of eighteen to twenty-three, and finally admitted defeat.

When the osmanthus blooms, I will compensate you for your gift.

"We are childhood friends," Wu Jing said, "When I couldn't even write my own name, I learned to write his name first."

I said to myself, "That's it."

His voice is very pleasant to listen to, somewhat deep, and has a unique cleanliness typical of young men.

After that day, I began to frequently encounter Kang Zizhou.

He didn't understand, and asked me, "What did you say?"

I bid farewell to Kangzizhou once again on the dark seaside.

I didn't answer. Everyone thought that I was a carefree person who had never tasted the flavor of love. They talked about their past romances, but I couldn't contribute anything.

And the beautiful scenery conceals me, living as if in the old good times.

The next day, when I woke up, I sat in bed for a while and then said to my parents, "I want to go to Suzhou once."

The birthday gift that Chen Qiqi gave to Kang Zizhou was a pair of rings, one for each of them. I saw Kang Zizhou put it on with my own eyes.

After breaking up with Wu Jing, Kang Zizhou came to see me once, which was also the only time he took the initiative to find me.

Ten years ago

I am so happy to speak with him

At the moment Wu Jing kissed me, I closed my eyes

I am too," I replied with a smile

I was suddenly inspired, so I returned to the room, took out my sketchbook and pen, moved a stool, and while he was seriously playing the piano, I secretly captured this scene in a drawing

I blushed again, not knowing what to say, only saying: "You play so beautifully."

I returned to Sweden that night, having spent too long in Sweden. At the moment the plane landed, I suddenly felt a sense of peace, as if a lost child had finally come home

It is nothing

I thought about it: "Osmanthus cake, is that acceptable?"

In the third year of pursuing my doctor's degree, I was assigned to Shanghai for a month of exchange study. At the end of my studies, Wu Jing happened to be on a business trip to Shanghai and invited me to dinner. He chose a Sichuan restaurant, and due to traffic congestion during the rush hour, I was an hour late.

This year, Xue Kaiqi sang a song titled "Murong Xue," with the Mandarin version called "Suzhou River." "By chance we meet and rely on each other, the boats on the river can never leave forever"

I blushed deeply and threw the sketchbook down from the second floor

This is the entirety of the story

He quickly replied, saying that it was not necessary, as he had already promised Wu Jing.

I ask again, Kang Zizhou, is that you

Uncertain of who instigated it, someone suggested playing Truth or Dare. Kang Zhi Zhou smiled and said, "I won't participate."
