In the autumn of 2009, Lu Yuan and I became the front and back desk. He clenched his fists firmly as if he wanted to join some sacred organization, "Teacher, don't worry! I will definitely protect Li Wang."
I teased him about how he could pass the exams to Beijing and Shanghai without top-notch grades. He said nonchalantly, "Who said I have to take the exams to go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou? I want to revitalize Northeast China."
In the winter of 2011, I shed tears while looking at my report card because my grades were declining. He wiped away my tears with his fingertips and said, "Let's go to Shanghai together."
In the spring of 2012, during the third mock exam, he looked at the names listed side by side on the honor list and said, "Li Wang, I will follow you after I pass 640 in the college entrance examination."
In the summer of 2012, the day the admission notice came out, it was a rainy afternoon. I went to Shanghai to study law, and he went to Shenyang to study medicine. At that time, I thought to myself that we had kept our promise. I flew to the big cities in the south with all my heart. He was clamoring about revitalizing the Northeast.
In the autumn of 2016, when I flew from Beijing to Washington, he came to see me off and said, "Li Wang, if you can stay there, you must seize the opportunity."
When I returned to China in 2018, the plane landed in Shanghai. He came to pick me up, pushed my huge suitcase, carried my bulging backpack, and said, "Don't make yourself too tired."
In 2020, during the cold spring months in Northeast China, I returned to my hometown after a long absence. He came to pick me up and said, "Don't leave when I come back this time. You have been going through a lot of trouble these years."
In the autumn of 2020, he was studying for his Ph. D. In Shanghai, and I went to see him off at the airport.
"After all these years, I finally let you come and see me off." He joked with me while smoking a cigarette. The smoke was so thick that I couldn't hold it.
In 2023, he graduated with a doctorate and had a hard time choosing the latter between staying in Shanghai to pay off the sky-high mortgage loan and returning to Shenyang to live a stable life.
At the end of 2023, I went on a date with my blind date. The moment he put the ring on my hand, I didn't know who I was thinking of.
At the beginning of 2024, I received an electronic invitation from Lu Yuan, and he said, "I'm getting married."
Intention: People who love each other should not be easily missed
