She asked me, "Has Li Ren contacted you again?"
I began to think back carefully. The last time I heard his voice seemed to be one morning three years ago. Before the phone was disconnected, he said: "He You, take good care of yourself from now on." Just like when he went to the station to see me off when I first entered college, his words to me were the same, with the same worry, which made me mistakenly think that the story was not over yet.
I picked up the wine glass in my hand, drank it all, and said, "No, there won't be any again."
