In the past, Gu Yu would stand next to her workstation and wait for her every day after get off work.

Sometimes it takes half an hour, sometimes it takes two hours.

He always said he would only wait ten minutes, but in the end he would still stay up late with her while organizing photos.

Tang Wan was so busy that she forgot to eat, so he placed her dinner next to him.

By the time she finally remembered, the food was often already cold.

Gu Yu would then reheat it while complaining:

"Editor-in-Chief Tang, you're going to end up marrying the editorial department sooner or later if you keep going like this."

Tang Wan would only ever reply with one sentence:

"Keep quiet, have you finished writing the manuscript?"

After Gu Yu passed away, no one stood by her side after get off work anymore.

No one reminded her that the coffee had gone cold.

She simply stopped leaving get off work on time.

She would leave manuscripts that could be finished on the same day until late at night.

She always personally reviews any work that can be delegated to her subordinates.

She doesn't like her job.

She just didn't want to go back to that overly quiet home.

There were two people choosing furniture together.

A photo album shared by two people.

There's a pair of slippers in the entryway that no one will ever wear again.

The smart home assistant had asked many times whether it was necessary to revoke Gu Yu's residency permissions.

Tang Wan always chose "process later".

Three years have passed.

That "later" never came.

The camera that Gu Yu left behind has always been kept in the locker.

In this day and age, filming no longer requires any cameras.

Simply raise your hand, and your personal terminal can record everything in front of you.

The intelligent system can even automatically adjust the lighting, modify the composition, and delete anything that doesn't look good in the picture.

Gu Yu, however, refused to change.

He said that photos should record what one truly sees.

Even if it's not pretty, it should still be kept.

Because the world isn't always so beautiful.

Tang Wan once laughed at him for being old-fashioned.

But Gu Yu has kept every single photo he took to this day.

The comments on the screen kept refreshing.

People are discussing Sunset Six.

Some people say that whenever they see flowers and grasslands again, they will probably think of the girl trapped deep in the earth's core.

Tang Wan did not participate.

She simply looked again at the last sentence of the novel.

Gu Yu's voice echoed in my mind again.

"I don't shoot news or do interviews."

"Just sit here for one day."

"Look at the grass, feel the breeze."

Three years ago, Tang Wan felt that the unfinished trip was meaningless.

Gu Yu is gone.

Even if she really went, she would be all alone.

Then it would no longer be an agreement between two people.

Over the years, she has even refused to open that travel plan again.

Because whenever she sees the location, she is reminded that the person who should have been standing beside her will never appear again.

So she locked all those things up.

I won't look at it, touch it, or even think about it.

She thought this was how life should continue.

But after watching "Take Her Eyes," Tang Wan suddenly realized that she seemed to have never truly moved forward.

She simply locked that relationship, along with Gu Yu, in a closet she dared not open.

Then pretend that cabinet doesn't exist.

The person in the novel took the girl's eyes to the grassland.

The girl didn't actually stand there.

Yet she still saw the flowers, heard the wind, and felt the stream.

Then why can't she go and see the places Gu Yu couldn't go to for him?

This is not pretending he is still alive.

It's not about proving you've moved on with a trip.

They were simply going to fulfill something they had promised each other but had never done.

Gu Yu wanted to see a real grassland.

I wanted to take that old camera and capture a photo without any algorithmic retouching.

She had promised to go with him.

Now, she is the only one left who can fulfill that promise.

The fact that one person can complete it does not mean that the agreement has lost its meaning.

Tang Wan turned off the light screen.

Only the faint sounds of the equipment running remained in the editorial department.

She sat there in silence for a long time.

He then picked up his coat, and for the first time did not bring the rest of his work home.

It was nearly midnight when I got back to my lodgings.

The lights in the room turned on automatically.

As usual, the smart assistant began reporting the day's news and the next day's itinerary.

Tang Wan didn't listen to the whole thing.

"closure."

The sound disappeared.

The room fell silent again.

She stood in the living room, looking at the storage cabinet against the wall.

Three years.

The cabinet door's opening records don't even show the last time it was used.

Tang Wan extended her hand, her fingerprint verification was successful, and the cabinet door slowly slid open.

Several paper file folders were placed on the top shelf.

Below is an old-fashioned camera that already looks quite bulky.

Next to the camera, there was a storage device about the size of a palm.

Tang Wan inserted it into the terminal.

A document that hadn't been opened in a long time appeared in front of her.

The filename is very simple.

Twenty Places You Must Visit

That grassland is number one.

The notes from back then are still there.

[Do not take the sightseeing bus.]

[Don't stay in a holographic hotel.]

Bring a camera.

[Tang Wan is not allowed to bring work with her!!!]

Tang Wan stared at the last sentence for a long time.

"They're quite nosy."

She said it in a low voice.

This was the first time in three years that she spoke to the things Gu Yu had left behind.

After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment.

Then she lowered her head and chuckled softly.

As I was laughing, tears suddenly started falling.

She didn't wipe it; she just reached out and took out the camera.

The equipment has not been started for three years.

The battery had obviously been depleted long ago.

Tang Wan found the charging port and connected it to a power source.

The camera's indicator light flashed a few times.

The screen slowly lit up.

It also contains footage from Gu Yu's last use of it.

It's not news.

There were just a few photos of Tang Wan sitting in the editorial department.

In the first picture, she is frowning as she reviews a manuscript, with a cold dinner on the table.

In the second picture, she is asleep on the table, covered with Gu Yu's coat.

In the third photo, she has just noticed the camera and is raising her hand to cover her face.

Tang Wan in the picture looks a little angry.

Gu Yu probably stepped back while pressing the shutter again.

So the last photo was very blurry.

All that could be seen was Tang Wan standing up from her seat and walking towards the camera.

Below the photo is a note left by Gu Yu at the time.

Editor-in-Chief Tang is preparing to kill someone to silence them.

Tang Wan looked at those words, and her tears fell even more heavily.

But she burst out laughing.

The photo has not been processed with any algorithms.

The lighting was very poor.

The composition isn't very good either.

Even the people weren't captured clearly in the photo.

Tang Wan stared at it for a long time.

She then accessed the newspaper's internal system and submitted a leave application.

In the "Reason" section, she paused for a moment, and finally wrote four words.

An agreement.
