It would rain in this city, especially in the second half of the year. It seemed that people were used to it.
When the sun was shining in the afternoon, a strong wind came in the evening. It started to rain heavily before seven o 'clock in the evening.
But the rain came and went quickly. It became a drizzle at about eight o 'clock in the evening.
There was no break in the drizzle.
…
A chill woke Xue Shao up from his desk — before this, he had to go back to the company in the afternoon because he had taken half a day off to accompany Wan Zishan. He had to work overtime to finish the work at hand.
He was busy until six o 'clock. He planned to take a rest because he was too tired, but he fell asleep unconsciously.
But Xue Shao had a dream, a dream from a long time ago.
It was his birthday, but the girl in his memory didn't move for a whole day. Just when he thought that she didn't know and felt disappointed, the girl gently stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek as they parted on their way home.
The girl said, "This is not a birthday present, but this is." Then the girl took out a necklace and put it on his neck. She said it was given to her by her mother and asked him to wear it all the time.
The dream stopped, because he woke up.
Xue Shao sat alone in the office with only a laptop screen lit up. He turned the chair and looked at the drizzle outside. He touched his chest subconsciously.
There was always a necklace here that he never left. The necklace wasn't expensive, it was just a simple pendant with a string … As for the pendant, it was a brown crescent.
Xue Shao looked at the rain … It seemed that the rain could always lift a trace of melancholy.
He couldn't help asking himself if every man would be like him before marriage … They would always think of their past love uncontrollably.
Especially when it was … his first love that had died without a cause.
Maybe not only men, but also women … They would always feel something uncontrollably. Even if they didn't want to, they couldn't resist the sudden sweetness and bitterness.
In fact, as time passed, Xue Shao thought that he had forgotten about it or buried it deep in his memory. He would only open it when he was mature, qualified, and able to smile.
That was his plan, because he couldn't deny that he was so sincere to his current fiancée.
"Maybe it's because I'm about to enter another state before marriage." Xue Shao heaved a sigh, "But …"
Xue Shao grasped the small crescent on his body through his clothes.
But … because he was about to enter the next stage, he didn't want to carry these thoughts with him. "Stop running away. Let's settle this once and for all."
Xue Shao suddenly picked up the phone and waited for a while, "Hello, class monitor, it's me, Xue Shao."
"Xue Shao, what happened? Why are you looking for me at this time?"
"Nothing … I'm about to get married." Xue Shao said, "I'm writing the invitations … but I can't contact some people. By the way, do you have Xu Jiayi's contact information? There are so many people in the class, but I can't find her. "
"Xu Jiayi … Ah, I haven't heard this name for a long time." The class monitor suddenly laughed, "I remember you had a crush on her when you were in school. What's wrong? Or is it because you can't forget about it and want to meet your old lover before marriage so that you can have some friendly sex? "
"Class monitor, don't joke." Xue Shao hurriedly said, "I'm going to write the invitations … Well, even if I don't want to, at least let me know."
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you. Everyone knows what kind of person you are. You're an extinct man. Last time we went to the karaoke room to play, each of us had a girl. But you sang outside for a whole night and made me sleep with two girls. How could you do that! How did you bear with it? I even doubt whether you're impotent! "
"Class monitor!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say it."
The class monitor paused, "But I don't have Xu Jiayi's contact information. During the reunion, I don't know who said that she flew all over the world and almost couldn't be found. I don't think I can help you. "
"Well … forget it, there's no other way." Xue Shao said, "Class monitor, remember to receive the invitations and come on time! If you don't come, don't contact me for the rest of your life. "
"F * ck … I'll crawl there, OK?"
"Okay, I'm going home after work."
Xue Shao hung up the phone, revealing a bitter smile.
…
When he left the company, Xue Shao called Wan Zishan to tell her that he was safe … But he didn't go home immediately because of some restlessness.
Instead, he went to the downstairs of the woman's house in his memory.
He raised his head and looked at the sixth floor … the room near the road. His family lived nearby at that time.
Just like what the class monitor said, he had a crush on that girl — before they started.
He couldn't forget the face he saw in front of the school gate on the day of the freshman's admission. He couldn't forget the faint smile on her face … He couldn't forget the scene when her hair was blown up by the wind.
When he passed by here, he always looked at the window silently, hoping that the girl would stick her head out.
But now the old house was dark, the iron on the balcony was rusty, and there were no curtains on the window … it was just an empty house.
Sure enough, he couldn't open the box casually.
Standing in this place where he had waited for so many dusks … he couldn't open the box buried in his heart casually.
"Xu Jiayi, you left. You went abroad without a word … you didn't even give me a way to contact you. " Xue Shao stretched out his hand under the umbrella, letting the drizzle fall on his palm, murmuring, "You didn't even … say a word to me."
He took a deep breath, turning around and leaving.
He turned around and walked to the place where his car was parked … it was not long, only about 100 meters away.
Xue Shao smiled bitterly … maybe he shouldn't ask about the wishing tree today. Was it because he heard that it was going to be cut down, so he became … abnormal?
He held the umbrella and walked silently.
There were two quaint foreign lamps at the corner of the street.
"Is there … such a shop here?" Xue Shao frowned slightly, looking at the dim shop in front of the door subconsciously.
He didn't notice that … the surrounding streets were different from before. He even ignored the unusual silence in this place.
He walked to the door of the shop subconsciously, as if something attracted him.
Xue Shao put away the umbrella, shaking off the rainwater, and tried to open the pine wooden door in front of the shop.
There was the sound of bells.
There was a warm light.
The moment he entered, Xue Shao didn't seem to feel the coldness of the street in the rain outside. It was very warm here.
"Welcome. Is there anything I can help you with, customer?"
…
"So … Customer, you want to see your first love again, right?" The owner asked softly.
"I … I'm not sure." Xue Shao shook his head, looking at everything in front of him nervously.
He already knew some things about this shop … and after the mysterious boss showed his ability, he had to believe these things.
But he still had a lingering fear in his heart — How could he come to such a weird place?
The only thing that calmed Xue Shao down was that … this place wasn't scary, nor was it like the devil's place in movies or novels, with fangs, long horns, hell fire and bloody spots. Although the boss was wearing a scary mask, he looked very polite.
He had always been respectful and maintained the strictest etiquette to treat this so-called 'respected guest' of his.
The boss and the maid beside the boss — Wan Zishan said she saw a perfect woman. But he thought the woman in front of him was the one who could be called perfect.
She was just … a bit cold.
"Not sure?"
Boss Luo thought for a while, "Customer, if you are not sure, the deal will not be made. So, please think about it carefully. Once the deal is made, it can't be changed. "
"Can I know the price first?" Xue Shao asked calmly, "I won't sell my health, life, or even my feelings … Even if I want to end things with her, I won't and won't be selfish and affect my fiancée after marriage."
"Customer, it seems that you still love your fiancée." Boss Luo nodded, "If so, why do you still care about the past?"
Xue Shao forced a smile, "I don't know if you know how difficult and painful it is to forget someone. Especially when you can't do it and know that you have to love the next person wholeheartedly. "
"So, you want a result?"
Xue Shao nodded, "I want a result, but I won't choose to destroy the wedding and my life after marriage for this result … So, I need to know the price first."
"Okay." Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "According to your request, I'm afraid there is only one thing suitable for you … the necklace you are wearing."
"Necklace?" Xue Shao gave a start.
— You have to wear it all the time, just like you always wear me.
Boss Luo nodded, "Yes, the value of this necklace is enough to fulfill your request."
"Don't take the important things from me … but take the things that are important to me." Xue Shao forced a smile and sighed, "There is no free lunch in the world. I only want a result. No, I just want to end things with the past. Since I want to end things, then … I will be naked. "
He untied the necklace and put it in front of the mysterious boss.
"No, take it first." Boss Luo said calmly, "Sign the contract first. After the goods are delivered to you, we will take your necklace."
