I was struggling with tomorrow's paper when Sulei came to see me.
Hearing her voice on the phone, I almost thought I was back to the flamboyant age of seventeen.
It's just that we all understand that some things, once they have passed, will never come back.
Su Lei arrived at my door on time at eight o'clock in the evening with her luggage.
The loose shirt and plaid trousers could not conceal her fatigue from the journey.
See Su Lei again three years later. I could only smile at her. Some things, once they dissipate, really drift away.
"Did you come back from a refugee?" I leaned on the old wooden door of my house and looked at Su Lei's completely different dress from three years ago.
Su Lei smiled at me, showing two rows of tiny teeth: "So, can you take me in?"
"Of course." I turned my body sideways to let her in. "I don't want you living on the streets."
The wheels of the suitcase made a screeching sound on the wooden floor, sharp and lonely.
"Yan Lu." When I turned around to close the door, Su Lei's voice sounded behind me. Beating my heart.
My fingers paused on the door panel. No answer
"Gu Fengyuan and I broke up."
He pushed hard on the door panel with his hand. The heavy door panel slammed shut, making a heavy sound of time.
I lowered my head and laughed, my laughter unfounded and extremely happy.
That's it. Some people and some things are like that.
It has obviously been forgotten. But one day it was bloodyly revealed. There is constant pain and no peace.
For example: Gu Fengyuan.
