Are you going to give me a ride?
I nodded.
Lu Jia laughed, then said to me, "Forget it, I don't want to create any misunderstandings between you and Ye Zhi... We're fine as we are... What's that saying again?... A gentleman's friendship is as light as water, that's it, haha..."
Lu Jia's laughter made my heart pound... because she gave me the illusion that Ye Zhi was still alive and well... then I suddenly remembered that she had no idea that Ye Zhi had an accident, so it was normal for her to say that.
I regained my composure, then felt a wave of sadness wash over me... I didn't know whether I should explain to Lu Jia.
I chose not to explain, because there is someone who believes she is still alive and well, which is a kind of spiritual support for me... I will continue to deceive myself because of this, and then wait for her to come back.
Lu Jia then asked me, "Do you have any plans to get married?"
I stared at her in astonishment.
"Why are you looking at me like that? That shouldn't be a hard question to answer."
I finally spoke up and replied, "It could be soon, or it could be a long time."
"oh."
Lu Jia responded with a soft "yes," and then we both fell into silence...
A moment later, we spoke again almost at the same time. I quickly gave the opportunity to speak first to Lu Jia, and then habitually lit a cigarette to ease the awkwardness.
Lu Jia pointed ahead and said to me, "Then I'll head back to the hotel first."
"Be careful on the road."
Lu Jia nodded, and then left the restaurant before me...
As I watched her retreating figure, I gradually calmed down... In my memory, this seemed to be the most normal farewell this year. There was no expectation, no reluctance, but I wished her well and hoped that she could achieve even greater success in the field of design.
...
Wandering alone through the ancient city, I unknowingly found myself near the "bed sheet factory." I subconsciously slowed my pace, and sure enough, I heard the sound of an accordion again. I quickly looked in the direction from which the sound was coming...
Through that window, I saw her back again...
No, it wasn't a silhouette, it was a shadow cast on the curtains...
I thought of her again... The music was a call, but the wind that blew by filled my heart with loneliness.
I couldn't tell if that swaying shadow was near or far. One moment it seemed within my fingertips; the next, it felt like I couldn't catch it no matter how hard I tried.
