I, Liu Zhiming, am already a 62-year-old man. In my life, I have experienced ups and downs, and I have also experienced the vicissitudes of time. But just when I was most inadvertent, fate unleashed a twisty and incredible drama for me, ushering in an unexpected emotional journey in my later years.
It all started by chance. One day, the company asked me to go on a business trip, a city that is not unfamiliar, but thousands of miles away from my hometown. So, I packed my bags and embarked on this short but uncertain journey.
On the first night I arrived at my destination, I chose an unfamiliar but quite characteristic tavern to dine in. Just as I was savoring the food, a familiar laugh rang in my ears. I subconsciously turned my head and saw her, the woman who had left a deep mark on my life, Xu Wanwan.
Hui Wanwan is my former colleague and the woman I once loved deeply. But at some point many years ago, we were separated by some irreconcilable contradictions. She went to another city, and I chose to stay in my hometown, and from then on the two places lived separately.
When I saw her, I felt an inexplicable wave of emotion in my heart. Her smile was still bright, and the years didn't seem to have left too many marks on her face. She glanced at me, and then walked over with a smile: "Zhiming, long time no see." ”
This simple greeting evoked ripples in my heart that I had not seen for a long time. We sat down and started chatting about each other's lives. She told me that she settled in the city and lived a stable and fulfilling life. And I, although much older, still maintain a stable life in my hometown.
As the conversation deepened, I couldn't help but think back to the moment when we were separated, and many unspeakable emotions surged through my heart. There is a unique tenderness in her eyes, as if the years have not completely exhausted our feelings.
After three rounds of drinking, our emotions were released in this familiar and unfamiliar city. Perhaps because of the effects of alcohol, we began to open up about each other's lives and feelings over the years. Gradually, I found that her influence on my heart had not faded, and my heart was occupied by inexplicable excitement.
So, we decided to stroll through the city together for the night. The streets are dimly lit, and we have walked through the place of memories that once were. Xu Wanwan took my hand, her eyes flashing with the vicissitudes of time: "Zhiming, maybe this is the arrangement of fate, we are together again." ”
This sentence is like a heavy pebble thrown into the heart lake, stirring up a thousand waves. I tried to control my emotions, but I couldn't hide the turmoil in my heart. We were silent for a moment and finally decided to go back to the hotel and continue our unexpected night.
Back at the hotel, we didn't say anything more. The tacit understanding between each other fills the whole space with a subtle tension. The moonlight outside the window shines on the bed through the curtains, as if it is a testimony to the night. We approached, embraced each other, and time seemed to stand still in this moment.
But just as this romantic night was about to reach its peak, a ** bell broke the silence. Xu Wanwan connected**, and her face instantly became a little dignified. She told me that her father had suddenly fallen ill and needed her to return to his hometown immediately.
I understood her choice, but the pain in my heart could not be contained. This night is destined to become a beautiful memory between us, but it also makes us fall into a helpless parting. We looked at each other in silence, and she straightened my collar before hurriing away.
At the moment she left, I felt an inexplicable heartache. Maybe it's fate, let's meet, but we are separated in the best moment. I sat on the bed in my room, full of thoughts, reminiscing about this tortuous night.
As time passed, I finally understood that the encounters and separations in life are short and precious. Maybe we are destined to stay only for a brief moment in each other's lives, but the warmth and romance of that night will be a forever memory in my life. Although the years are old, the love in my heart is the same.
