There are still 2 years, 6 months and 3 days left before my death.
When I was twenty-seven years old, I was engaged in criminology research in country A while studying for a PhD.
My job is to study human behavior, lies and choices.
After meeting too many complicated people, I gradually developed an unpleasant habit——
Don't believe in promises, don't believe in the so-called forever.
It wasn't until a work investigation that I met Shi Jun.
Twenty years old, college student majoring in electrical engineering.
The first time they met, he was encouraged by his friends to come over and strike up a conversation.
I looked at him for a while and asked:
"Truth or dare lost?"
He was stunned for a long time.
"Sister, do you study fortune telling?"
I originally thought we would never see each other again.
But later, this person started to appear on my phone every day.
The food in the cafeteria was not delicious today.
Something went wrong again in the experiment tomorrow.
I met a cat on the roadside the day after tomorrow.
There are also the sunset at school, the rain outside the dormitory window, the complaints after losing the game, and countless little things that I think are meaningless.
I rarely reply.
But he never stopped sharing.
Until one day, when I returned to my apartment after work, I was too exhausted to talk.
Shi Jun sent me a photo of a sleeping cat.
The afternoon wind is really comfortable.
[If you are here, we can enjoy the wind and sun together.
I stared at that sentence for a long time.
Reply:
Okay.
Later, we fell in love despite the time difference.
He stayed with me through sleepless nights one after another, and I listened to him complain about the experimental lines that could never be connected properly.
On the first anniversary, I secretly flew back to see him.
When we were saying goodbye, he held me in his arms and asked:
"Eucalyptus globulus, will we always be together in the future?"
At that time I didn't know how to answer.
Because not long after, I accepted a job that required long-term confidentiality.
From that day on, I couldn't tell him where I was, couldn't explain what I was doing, and even when I passed him one day, I could only pretend to be a stranger.
Shi Jun asked me many times:
"When will you come back?"
I tell him every time:
"Soon."
Later, he graduated, worked, and rented a house in M city.
He bought two cups, prepared two pairs of slippers, and got a cat.
In the video, he is holding the cat and smiling at me:
"Eucalyptus globulus."
"When you come back, we will have a home."
I promised him.
But I forgot one thing.
Some agreements have already entered a countdown from the moment they are spoken.
Many years ago, I thought love was just an illusion that humans have when faced with loneliness.
Later, Shi Jun took a long time to get me to admit that I might be wrong.
And I spent all the remaining time to fulfill what I once said to him——
I love you.
This time there is no analysis, no evidence and no deadline.
The blue gum is a tree that no one is allowed to approach.
But one year, a bird landed on her branch.
From then on,
She began to look forward to the future
[Reading Tips]
1. First-person memoir of the heroine, unreliable narration.
2. The age difference is 7 years, 27-year-old criminology researcher × 20-year-old male undergraduate student in electrical engineering.
3. The crime suspense parallels the emotional line, involving fictional countries, fictional cases and fictional settings.
4. BE, neither the male nor female protagonist has perfect personality in the traditional sense.
5. All majors, cases and criminal plots in this article are for plot purposes only and should not be substituted into reality.
Intention: Even if the eucalyptus globulus is poisonous, there are also locust trees willing to live there; love allows people to see kindness in the darkness.
