Nostalgia

When Chen Liang left, it was already past 1 a.m.

The two embraced and kissed as they parted...

Zhu Qing embraced Chen Liang and kissed him deeply...

Chen Liang embraced Zhu Qing and kissed her deeply...

The two were separated again...

Before leaving, Zhu Qing told Chen Liang that she was leaving in the afternoon and hoped that Chen Liang would come to the embankment to see her one last time.

Because she wanted to see Chen Liang again during the day in that place.

Chen Liang agreed.

……

Chen Liang arrived home and immediately went to sleep.

……

I slept until 2 p.m.

Chen Liang quickly got up.

Wash up.

Have a meal……

Then I looked at my phone.

There was still no information about Zhu Qing on my phone.

Chen Liang dared not write a book; he was waiting for Zhu Qing.

He was afraid that after he started writing the book, Zhu Qing would send him a message saying that if he was in the middle of an emotional state, it would delay the plot and waste his emotions.

Sure enough, around four o'clock, Zhu Qing sent a message: Go to the embankment and wait for me. I'm leaving now.

Chen Liang replied: Okay.

Actually, if Chen Liang and Zhu Qing had set off at the same time, Zhu Qing would have arrived at the dike first.

Chen Liang quickly made preparations and set off immediately.

This time, he drove.

He was afraid of delaying his meeting with Zhu Qing.

Chen Liang arrived at the embankment, at that place, but Zhu Qing had not yet arrived.

But a little while later, Zhu Qing arrived.

He was still dressed in black.

Zhu Qing smiled when he saw Chen Liang.

It was as if I could see Chen Liang now, driving here, as if all the past was truly gone.

"Chen Liang." Zhu Qing excitedly approached Chen Liang.

"What are you doing driving? Trying to start a new business?"

Chen Liang smiled.

He knew that Zhu Qing, and himself, had finally put an end to the past.

Everything from the past is gone.

"I'm afraid it will delay our meeting," Chen Liang said.

"Let me sit in your car for a while."

Zhu Qing got off the electric scooter, propped it up, and without caring whether anyone was watching below the embankment, climbed into Chen Liang's car.

She sat in the passenger seat.

"Chen Liang, you're really good. You've changed a lot over the years."

As she spoke, she added, "Some things haven't changed either."

Chen Liang sat in the driver's seat, looking at Zhu Qing.

Suddenly, Zhu Qing tilted her head, and the two of them kissed.

A deep kiss...

A lingering kiss...

It seemed that after this kiss, after Zhu Qing left, and after Chen Liang left, the two would never see each other again.

They kissed for a long time.

Zhu Qing kissed Chen Liang on the corner of his mouth and then on his cheek.

She pointed northwest: "That's my home, about twenty miles away."

"How do I get there?"

Although Chen Liang didn't know what Zhu Qing had told him about her family's business, he still asked the question.

"Go from the north. Isn't there a bridge to the north? Go south from that bridge, along the dike. Walk for about ten miles, and you'll reach my village."

"If you go from here, you'll cross the bridge, then head north for about twenty li, and you'll reach my village."

"Oh, I'll just send you the location when you want to go."

Chen Liang looked at Zhu Qing with a smile. He knew that Zhu Qing wanted him to go to her house.

"When do you want me to go?" Chen Liang asked.

"Hmm... I'll see. I'll text you later."

"Okay." ... "He's not home?"

"No," Zhu Qing shook his head. "He went to a very far place."

"Huh?" Chen Liang was taken aback.

Zhu Qing slapped him, laughing as she did so, "Get lost! He really did go to a very far place, but not like that, he went abroad."

"Oh..." Chen Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "You went abroad to work?"

"Um."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Chen Liang became interested.

It's only right that I help Zhu Qing during this time.

Chen Liang knew that some people who went abroad would stay for three or five years.

It can take anywhere from three to five years, or even ten to eight years.

"Um."

Zhu Qing suddenly looked behind the car, then looked in front of the car, and to the left and right.

Suddenly, she boldly sat down next to him.

Chen Liang quickly adjusted the seat back and reclined it...

"Be gentle, the car is swaying," Chen Liang said.

"Um."

However, as Zhu Qing was working, he started shaking the car violently.

Startled, Chen Liang forgot about the people outside and stopped caring about them.

Actually, today, the wind and extremely low temperature meant there were no pedestrians outside.

It was there a moment ago, but it's gone now.

As it got dark and cold, people went home.

As dusk settled...

……

Zhu Qing got out of Chen Liang's car.

In the twilight, on the embankment, in the midst of the desert, Chen Liang embraced Zhu Qing again from behind.

Zhu Qing turned around, and the two kissed again...

"Alright, alright, I have to go now. It's still twenty miles away. You think I'm driving like you? I came by electric scooter."

Although Zhu Qing said that, Chen Liang could tell that Zhu Qing was unwilling to leave.

However, for her safety, Chen Liang had to let her go.

"Okay, let's go. There will be plenty of time to meet again in the future. It's getting too late, and I'm worried about leaving you alone."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Liang released Zhu Qing, and Zhu Qing also released Chen Liang.

Zhu Qing pushed the electric bike and glanced at Chen Liang again.

"I'm leaving."

His words carried a hint of resentment.

"Okay, let's go. Message me when you get home, and call me immediately if you encounter any danger on the way."

"I know."

Zhu Qing got on the electric scooter.

She glanced back at Chen Liang one last time, and said reluctantly, "I'm leaving."

Chen Liang nodded: "Let's go."

Zhu Qing rode his electric bike.

Chen Liang watched until Zhu Qing disappeared from sight and turned the corner before getting into the car.

Just as he was about to head home, he turned the car around and drove towards the bridge where Zhu Qing had walked.

Arriving at the bridgehead, I saw that Zhu Qing had already crossed the bridge and was riding north along the riverbank.

It seems she even turned her head back a few times.

She seemed to see Chen Liang, yet she also seemed not to see him.

But now, it doesn't matter whether you see it or not.

Even if she sees it, she has to leave.

Chen Liang kept watching Zhu Qing until she was out of sight in the twilight, then got back into his car and drove home.

……

When I got home, Zhu Qing sent me a message: I'm home, are you home yet?

Chen Liang replied: I just got home too.

Zhu Qing: I saw you looking at me, right at the bridgehead.

Chen Liang smiled warmly: Yes.

Zhu Qing: Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll take care of the kids too.

Chen Liang: Huh? Your child is at home? How can I get there?

Zhu Qing smiled: He's just at home today.

Chen Liang: Oh, okay.

I was so scared I broke out in a cold sweat.

Suddenly, Zhu Qing sent Chen Liang his location information.

Zhu Qing: When you come, just follow this address.

Then he sent another message: "Just text me when you arrive, and I'll come out to meet you."

Chen Liang: Oh, okay, you want me to go tonight?

Zhu Qingfa rolled her eyes: What? Didn't I say my child was at home?

Chen Liang: I thought you were telling me in such detail that you wanted me to go tonight.

Zhu Qing: Smiling face. Get lost.

Then she sent another message: You're busy, I'm busy too.

Chen Liang: Mm.

Indeed, he should be busy; he needs to write, and he needs to work hard at writing.

Otherwise, there will be no food to eat.

Zhu Qing didn't send any more messages; she must have been busy too.

Chen Liang is cooking.

He needed to hurry up and write, he needed to save up his manuscripts, and then he would go to Zhu Qing's place...
