1231: C1231 Looking out over the Horizon

C1231 Looking out over the Horizon

4She was still standing on the other side of the deck, gazing at the opposite shore.

Was she looking out at her country? Looking at her mother?

In this life, would she be able to return to her homeland? Would he be able to see his mother?

Was she mumbling to herself that Ariel was picking up the unkempt kindal?

My vision gradually blurred, and my mood gradually dropped.

Two years later, more than 700 days and nights later, they had returned to their starting point.

2 years, this period of time has been the world of the sorrowful and romantic.

Only, things are different now. At this moment, she is no longer me and her.

The world was changing every day. It was an irreversible rule in the world.

My vision blurred, and my mood sagged.

"Yi Ke, happy birthday!" Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in my ear.

Suddenly, I opened my eyes and saw a bunch of bright flowers. Qiu Tong was standing in front of me with a smile. Behind her was Fourth Brother, who was also smiling.

It was my birthday.

I forgot that today was my birthday. It was as if no one around me had thought of it, including Hai Zhu. It was as if she did not remember what had happened a few days ago. It seemed that she might have thought of it but wasn't in the mood to give me a blessing.

Today is my birthday, even I forgot, but Qiu Tong did not forget, I received her birthday blessing on the Yalu River cruise ship.

I looked at the flowers and Qiu Tong's sincere smile, and it seemed to me that this blessing was filled with pure emotion and a solemn desire, as if this pure emotion and a solemn desire could bring me the morning light of happiness.

"Life is a happy day." Qiu Tong whispered again. Fourth Brother also nodded slowly and smiled.

I slowly took the flowers. At the same time, I accepted Qiu Tong's pure and beautiful smile. My heart was moved. I smiled at Qiu Tong and Fourth Brother and nodded. "Thank you, thank you."

I don't know when Qiu Tong got the flowers and didn't even notice them when we boarded the boat.

It seemed as though she had already planned everything beforehand. It was as though she was here just to express her birthday wishes to me.

Fourth Brother seemed to understand my mood at the moment, as if he didn't want to disturb our conversation, so he took the flowers from my hand and went to the cabin.

Qiu Tong and I stood on the deck, my body leaning against the side of the boat. She faced me.

This position was exactly the same as the one we were standing on two years ago. This was how I stood when she angrily tried to snatch the camera from my hand. In the blink of an eye, she almost threw herself into the river, and to prevent her from falling, I grabbed her by the chest and pulled her body back in. At the same time, my hand touched her chest for the first time.

Thinking this way, I couldn't help but feel emotional in my heart. I said to Qiu Tong, "Do you still remember today, two years ago?"

Qiu Tong's face turned slightly red. She then nodded and said in a low voice, "I remember."

"Time flies. In a blink of an eye, two years have passed." "No," I said.

Qiu Tong didn't say anything. She walked to the bow of the boat, holding onto the railing, and stared at the other side of the river.

"Time will never come back." She did not look back.

I walked over to her and looked at the Yalu River, which was slowly flowing, and suddenly I thought, Maybe a lot of things that we thought we would never forget in our lives are forgotten in the days that we never forget.

He thought of another saying: Some people will always be engraved in their memories. Even if they forget her voice, her smile, and her face, but whenever they think of her, that feeling will never change.

I couldn't help but think of Dong Xue.

"Two years ago today, what were you thinking?" As if reading my mind, she said.

My heart skipped a beat. Two years ago today, what was I thinking? Wasn't I thinking about Dong Xue, who suddenly disappeared without a trace?

I took a deep breath and decided to be honest. "At that moment, I was thinking about Dong Xue."

Qiu Tong nodded, then fell silent again.

I was silent, too.

It was as if, in this sudden awakening of memories, I should forget something. Perhaps, forgetting, is my unchangeable destiny, everything is like an unaligned blueprint, the past will not go back, so slowly extended, little by little wrong. Maybe I really should have forgotten what I missed.

Who was the passerby in one's life, who was the wheel of one's life, the dust of his past life, the wind of this world, the endless soul of sorrow.

Looking back at the road he had walked, memories were like rotting leaves, the fresh green leaves had long since been buried in the front part of the timescale, and only the overwhelming smell of decay remained at the end of the timescale.

In those days, when I stubbornly carried my bags on my back and began my wanderings, I knew that only a few friends would stand behind me and stare. But I didn't want them to see my back as I left, because their eyes were as deep and profound as the setting sun, making me feel heavy.

But when I decided to walk alone, with all the curses and all the betrayals behind me, I could still smile stubbornly in front of the others and cry where there was no one, but I kept on walking.

Time flies, these years, time did not teach me anything, but taught me not to easily believe a myth.

I seem to know that the most admirable aspect of a myth is its untrustworthiness!

"At that time, your heart must have been in pain from bankruptcy and heartbreak. "Is that so?" Qiu Tong turned to look at me.

I couldn't help but nod.

"And this pain has been with you for a long time, has it?" she said again.

I couldn't help but nod again.

"It's just that I didn't know you at that time, nor did I understand you. Otherwise, I would have told you that you must learn to endure pain in your entire life." "No," she said.

I looked at Qiu Tong's quiet face.

"Life is a swift river, but when we face it bravely, we will find that the scars will make the river of our lives wider, more distant, clearer." she whispered.

I nodded slowly and stared at her.

"Pain teaches us the ways of the world. In all the pain, bankruptcy and lovelorn can be confusing and desperate. However, in the midst of our endless suffering, we should perhaps understand that the time has come for us to come. One has to learn to endure pain, and since one cannot escape it, one has to accept it bravely. You will find that, when you calmly accept it, there is bound to be an unexpected gift on the painful tail. " Qiu Tong smiled at me.

Qiu Tong's smile was so beautiful.

I also smiled and said, "Actually, when a person is in pain and at a loss, it is very easy for them to fall into depression and fall into depravity."

"You may not have fallen at that time, but you must have been very decadent, weren't you?" Qiu Tong said.

"Yes. For the time being, it has not fallen, but it is indeed very decadent! " "No," I said.

Qiu Tong exhaled lightly and looked at me. "Remember, do not fall at any time. Even if you fall into depravity, do not fall into depravity."

I said, "No matter if it was before or in the future, I will not fall!"

As I said this, my heart suddenly felt weak. I don't admit that I have fallen, that I am falling, but what I have done and what I am doing, is that corruption? Am I slapping myself in the face when I say this?

I couldn't help but feel conflicted and conflicted.

Looking at Qiu Tong beside me, thinking of the past Hai Zhu Dong Xue Xia Yu, thinking of those things I did, thinking of those things I did with Lee Shun, I couldn't help but feel a jumble of pain in my confusion and confusion.

My pain is something only I can understand.

After the boat docked, there was still some time before dinner. Fourth Brother, Qiu Tong, and I walked casually along the riverside path.

Qiu Tong was looking at the other side of the river from time to time. I looked at her silent expression, while Fourth Brother looked around vigilantly.

After returning to the hotel room, Fourth Brother said to me, "Just now, when we were taking a walk by the river, someone was following us."

"Oh." I looked at Fourth Brother. "What kind of person?"

"Two young men in dark glasses, I noticed, slowed down on purpose, then turned around and walked towards them. They saw me and suddenly sped up and ran down the river road, then got into a local taxi and sped away." Fourth Brother said.

After Fourth Brother finished speaking, I fell into deep thought. At this moment, it was hard for me to determine which portion of the people following them might be from Wu De's faction. It could also be hired by Hai Zhu.

But no matter what the reason was, I still had to be careful. I had to pay attention to the safety of Qiu Tong and me, and to pay more attention to the way Qiu Tong and I acted, so that no one would be able to tell that Qiu Tong and I were having any abnormal actions.

After dinner, I lay on the bed. I suddenly felt uneasy. After thinking for a long time, I realized that Hai Zhu's uneasiness came from her.

This time when I was on business trip, Hai Zhu's behavior was a bit unusual, she didn't call me a few times a day like before to ask me to take care of her. So far, Hai Zhu hadn't called me at all.

Thinking about some of Hai Zhu's subtle reactions after the recent accident, the unease in my heart intensified.

But I don't know why Hai Zhu is acting so strangely. Could it be that this incident has caused some change in her mentality? Could it be that Hai Zhu had not recovered from her shock? Or was it some other reason?

I took out my cell phone to call Hai Zhu, thought for a moment, and put it down.

He tossed and turned, unable to get a good night's sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, we hurried back.

At this time, I didn't know that within the Hsinghai, there was an astonishing piece of news waiting for me.

On the way back to Hsinghai, I kept looking back through the rear mirror to see if any cars were following us. Looking around, he didn't find any suspicious signs.

I couldn't help but feel a little confused. From time to time, I would glance at Fourth Brother.

Fourth Brother drove expressionlessly, ignoring me.

On the way to the service area, while Qiu Tong wasn't around, Fourth Brother said to me, "We were followed when we left the hotel, but after we got on the highway, the car didn't follow us anymore."

"Why?" I asked Fourth Brother.

Fourth Brother frowned and shook his head. "I can't think of anything."

I suddenly thought of a question and asked Fourth Brother: "When we went to Danton s, were there any cars following us?"

Fourth Brother shook his head and said with a firm tone, "No."

"That's strange." "No," I said.

"If they didn't get followed when they went there, that doesn't mean those who followed us at Danton didn't come from the Hsinghai." Fourth Brother said.

I frowned.

After resting, we continued to rush back. We quickly arrived at Hsinghai, got off the high speed and entered the city. On the way, I continued to observe behind us, but it seemed that there weren't any cars following us.

When I returned to the office, I was thinking about Hai Zhu, whom I couldn't contact for a few days. After settling my work, I took a taxi to the travel agency.

When I arrived at the travel agency, I was surprised to see that the door of the agency was closed and the curtained door was not open. There was no one in front of the door, which was very different from the usual bustle and bustle.1
