My name is Chen Wanying. This year, I am 90 years old. I can't remember many things. My eyesight is also blurry. I forget recent things as soon as I turn around.
But I remember how cool the shade of the sycamore trees in the old alley was in the summer when I was seven years old. I remember how warm the palm of Yi Tianxiang's palm felt when he held my hand. I remember him squatting under the sycamore tree and using the branches to draw two little people holding hands in the soil. Then he raised his head, looked at me seriously, and said word by word:
"Wanying, we will always be together, and even if we die, we will be buried together."
At that time, I had two crooked braids, and my face was still stained with unwiped sugar residue. I looked up at a dirty little face, nodded my head stupidly and loudly, and said loudly: "Okay! Together forever!"
At that time, we didn't understand how far forever was.
I thought it was just from kindergarten to elementary school, from elementary school to middle school, from school uniform to wedding dress, from early morning to sunset, from black hair to white hair.
Later I realized that the two words forever are the heaviest, the most cruel, and the most affectionate.
It is not a casual child's words, not a sweet vow, but a promise that needs to be fulfilled little by little with a lifetime of waiting, longing, pain, and perseverance.
I have spent my whole life fulfilling the phrase "together forever" that I said when I was a child.
And Yi Tianxiang spent his short life and the cruelest scam to exchange for my peace of mind for the rest of my life.
The sycamore trees outside the window have fallen golden again.
I know I will see him soon.
Seeing that person, who has lived in my heart since I was seven years old, has lived there all my life and never left again - Yi Tianxiang.
