After a while, he slowly let go of his hand, sat down on the sofa and asked me, "Do you still remember where we first met?"
"Noodle shop"
"No," he answered decisively and began to tell the story of the Tianning Temple courtyard seriously for the first time.
"When you were a teenager, did you come to Anyang when you were eleven years old?"
He continued without waiting for my answer.
"At that time, I was doing business in Shenzhen and I was still a young man in my early twenties. I was really bored that afternoon, so I put on a pair of underwear and walked around the courtyard of Tianning Temple. At that time, there were a few old men playing chess. I was standing there watching, and suddenly a child rushed over. At that time, the chess game was dangerous, so I didn't care. After a while, I felt something was wrong, so I looked up and saw a kid staring at me. It was a bit hot in the summer and I was standing with a group of gentlemen. The boy must have been looking at me for a long time. With that look, I felt that this kid must be like me when he grows up. "
After he finished speaking, he saw that I was silent. He paused and looked at me and said, "That boy is you."
"I have never been to Anyang before, and I have never heard of it."
"You can't help it if you don't admit it. That boy is you." He said, kicked off his slippers, sat up and left.
