Seventeen years ago, he was her deskmate. He picked up a heart-shaped stone on the river beach and said, "No matter where you go, remember to come back."
Seventeen years later, he is a developer from Hong Kong, and she is a township clerk. When shaking hands, he pressed his index finger lightly on the back of her hand and called her "Chief Jiang", like a stranger.
The old street is about to be demolished, but the yellow juju trees are still there and the stone roads are still there. He said he came back for the project, but every night, he stood on the river beach, facing the direction of her room.
He didn't say "I miss you", he only said "Is the light in your room still on?"
——Some people come back from a long way, not to demolish something, but to confirm that someone is still waiting.
Intention: Deep love can withstand the long years
