Chapter 70 End of the text
Ji Mian was stunned for a moment when he heard Fu Chenyu's tone. He said, "Why are you keeping this?"
Fu Chenyu remained silent. Ji Mian felt as if she had caught her boyfriend's flaws. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she spoke with a hint of pride, "You won't always remember me, will you?"
Fu Chenyu put the flower back and said with a half-smile: "What do you think?"
When Ji Mian was asked this question, she felt embarrassed and narcissistic. She muttered, "Can't you let me show off for a while longer?"
Fu Chenyu said: "Yeah. I always remember you."
Many years later, Fu Chenyu still feels a little nervous when he thinks of that afternoon at the train station.
"Weren't you the one who was secretly following me?"
Before Ji Mian could be moved, Fu Chenyu started to argue again, "Secretly looking at your husband."
Ji Mian choked up, and after a long pause, he said, "Who's looking at you? You're so young, I'm not interested."
"Oh." Fu Chenyu's smile didn't fade. Seeing that they were the only two people in the room, he spoke a little frivolously: "Isn't I big or small? You know it by heart, don't you?"
Ji Mian stared at him and finally gave in.
The result of not having as thick skin as the big boss is that the blush spreads all the way from the neck to the cheeks.
"I'm not talking to you." Ji Mian held the violin in his arms fiercely, then ignored him and packed up his things.
This cleanup also cleared away a lot of old memories.
Ji Mian and Fu Chenyu had the same memories: the same kindergarten, the same elementary school, the same junior high school, and even the same high school...
All the friends he knew, Fu Chenyu also knew.
The two of them were packing and chatting at the same time. Seeing the photos in Fu Chenyu's box, Ji Mian sat cross-legged on the bed with great interest.
Not cleaning up for the moment, he pointed at the photo and said, "I almost forgot what you looked like when you were a kid."
That was Liming Kindergarten’s graduation photo.
Fu Chenyu was gloomy at that time, he didn't have any good friends, he was wearing clothes, and he was very far away from Ji Mian.
Ji Mian stood obediently in the first row. She had a cute little sister's haircut and was prettier than all the girls in the class.
Flipping through the photos, it goes to when the two were in elementary school.
He remembered that their elementary school homeroom teacher was Teacher Shi and their math teacher was Teacher Yu. Ji Mian looked at the photo of him and Fu Chenyu and fell into memory: "I used to think Teacher Yu was much older than us, but it turns out she started teaching right after graduating from university. So many years have passed in a flash."
The two elementary school students in the photo have now graduated from college.
Ji Mian never thought that he would be able to be with Fu Chenyu.
Thinking back to when he first crossed over to this world, all Ji Mian wanted to do was stay away from him. Ji Mian still remembered the small note he had tucked into his notebook, which had the plot of "Stranger Tenderness" written on it... He must burn it immediately when he gets back!
Ji Mian felt more and more emotional as he read the book, and naturally thought of the big incident of his failed proposal.
I couldn't help but feel worried.
I missed the best time to propose on graduation day, and I don’t know when the next good opportunity will be.
It seems like it has been delayed for half a year.
Ji Mian closed the photo album and searched Fu Chenyu's room for a long time, moving all the things he thought were of commemorative significance to his new home.
When I went to see Lin Minzhi in the evening, while Fu Chenyu was outside taking a work-related call, Lin Minzhi asked Ji Mian while drinking soup: "Mianmian, didn't you say you wanted to propose? Why haven't you done anything for so long?"
Ji Mian: "When I was in Jianjing, a case was delayed."
Lin Minzhi blamed herself: "Is it because of my mother's health?"
Ji Mian: "Mom. Don't think too much. How is it possible? I've been thinking about this recently, but I just haven't found the right opportunity."
Lin Minzhi: "Do you want mom to help you look at the date and choose an auspicious day?"
Ji Mian said seriously: "I am a people's policeman, I don't believe in this!"
Lin Minzhi was amused by him in bed and held his hand: "Mom just wants to see you get married and settle down. I can't count on your brother. I've urged him for so many years, but he hasn't wavered. I don't know what he thinks."
Ji Mian comforted Lin Minzhi: "I will..."
The closer it gets to the Chinese New Year, the stronger the festive atmosphere becomes.
During this New Year, Fu Yong's sentence ended and he was released from prison exactly three days before New Year's Eve.
After Lin Jianyi knew about this, he ran around for a while for Fu Yong's first encounter because of Fu Chenyu. Fu Chenyu also bought daily necessities and toiletries in advance, and bought a single-story apartment in the neighboring community not far from his home.
On the day Fu Yong was released from prison, the sky was as blue as if it had been washed by water. He walked out of the prison without any luggage and saw Fu Chenyu waiting for him at the door. The no longer young man sighed, patted his son's shoulder, and then hugged him.
At this moment, Fu Chenyu, who was always cold in character, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
"dad."
"Let's go. I'll go see your new home." Fu Yong wiped away his tears.
Fu Chenyu paused and said, "Dad, let's go to Aunt Lin's house for dinner today."
Ever since Fu Chenyu told Fu Yong that he was dating, Fu Yong has been wondering whether Lin Minzhi's child is a boy or a girl.
Because it happened so long ago, I might have remembered it wrongly.
What impressed him most about the child in Lin Minzhi's family was that she was beautiful. Maybe she was a girl?
I have a vague impression of him that I cannot remember clearly. I heard that he did not seem to be very intelligent.
That doesn't matter.
Fu Yong doesn't mind his daughter-in-law's IQ, as long as she treats Fu Chenyu well.
His son is capable and independent and can support his own wife.
However, I heard that it’s a bit difficult for people with intellectual disabilities to get a marriage certificate...
Fu Yong thought about this and that and couldn't help asking, "Have you said hello to Aunt Lin?"
He was not familiar with Lin Minzhi. They were just neighbors who had nodded to each other more than ten years ago. As soon as he was released from prison, Fu Yong felt a deep sense of powerlessness. It was a kind of powerlessness in the face of a rapidly changing society, but at the same time he was proud of Fu Chenyu. At least, he could rely on his son.
"I did. Aunt Lin cooked dinner, and Ji Mian was there too." Fu Chenyu replied.
"Is Ji Mian your partner?" Fu Yong asked.
Fu Chenyu nodded, and Fu Yong asked, "Does your Uncle Lin know about this?"
"He knows. I told him when we were in college. Uncle Lin said to follow me." Fu Chenyu lowered his eyelashes.
"You have your own opinions. Just make up your own mind." Fu Yong paused for a moment and asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Is Ji Mian a boy?"
Fu Chenyu paused for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Yes."
Fu Yong couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, he actually felt that it was as he expected.
When he left Fu Chenyu, his son was too young to accompany Fu Chenyu to grow up, and he didn't know much about Fu Chenyu's sexual orientation. Now, as an unqualified father, he has no right to say anything: "As long as you like him and he is a good person, that's enough."
"He's fine." Fu Chenyu said, "Jimian has always been with me."
Fu Yong nodded, and then a subtle sense of nervousness welled up in his heart.
He has been in prison, and he wonders if the people in charge of the Lin family will look down on him. He can't delay his son's affairs.
Fu Chenyu seemed to know what Fu Yong was thinking and comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. Ji Mian and I...will be getting married soon."
"Getting married?" Fu Yong was surprised: "Such a big thing... When?"
"Soon." Fu Chenyu looked confident: "After I propose."
In addition to Fu Yong being nervous, Lin Minzhi was also quite nervous.
Her impression of Fu Yong also remained from more than ten years ago. Today's meal was of great significance. To put it another way, it was like meeting the in-laws.
There are still two of them at first sight!
Ji Mian told her that Lin Jianyi would also come to dinner to welcome Fu Yong back from prison.
Nowadays, Lin Jianyi is a big shot that can be seen on TV. As a businessman, Lin Minzhi is naturally a little afraid of officials.
Sometimes he went upstairs to check on his clothes, and sometimes he went to the kitchen to see if the nanny had prepared the food.
Only after Fu Yong and Lin Jian arrived did Lin Minzhi finally take a break.
The first time Fu Yong saw Ji Mian, he felt very satisfied.
The rumors he'd heard back then seemed wrong. Ji Mian looked gentle and clean, not at all like someone with intellectual disabilities. He was also, I heard, a police officer, a good student, and a graduate of a prestigious university. Furthermore, his eyes curved into crescents when he smiled, he had good upbringing, and spoke softly and gently, a gentle and gentle voice. Fu Yong couldn't find any fault with him.
Lin Minzhi has changed tremendously over the years. When Fu Yong saw her for the first time, he didn't dare to recognize her.
The woman who used to sell pancakes in the courtyard has now become a well-known female entrepreneur, elegant and graceful.
Fu Yong felt extremely emotional, thinking that he had missed so much over the years.
Everyone had a lively meal and it ended in the afternoon.
Lin Jianyi was busy with official duties and had to leave halfway through his meal, which everyone understood.
When he left, Fu Yong didn't know how to thank him, so he just shook his hand firmly and said, "Old Lin, thank you for your hard work over the years."
Lin Jianyi patted him on the back: "I didn't take good care of Xiaoqian."
"She..." Tears rolled down Fu Yong's eyes: "She is unlucky. It's my fault."
Later, both of them were choked with sobs and unable to speak.
In the end, it was Lin Minzhi who persuaded him to stop. Fu Yong quickly said, "I won't delay your work. Hurry up."
Only then did Lin Jianyi stand up and leave.
Fu Yong looked at the time and it was almost time to leave. He wanted to go see Ning Qian in the afternoon.
Lin Minzhi winked at Ji Mian, who tugged at the corner of Fu Chenyu's clothes and whispered, "Can I accompany you to see Aunt Ning?"
Unexpectedly, before Fu Chenyu could speak, it was Fu Yong who brought up the matter first.
He looked a little embarrassed. "Xiaomian, do you want to go with us to see your Aunt Ning?"
The cemetery is on a mountain, and the road up the mountain is a bit steep, but Fu Yong seemed not to feel it. He walked faster and faster. If Fu Chenyu had not supported him quickly, he might have fallen.
When Fu Yong saw the grave where Ning Qian was buried, tears immediately fell to the ground. The man in his forties cried so hard that he was out of breath.
On Ning Qian's tombstone is a photo of her when she was young. Fu Yong remembered this photo, which was taken when Ning Qian was pregnant with Fu Chenyu. She was still very young, in her early twenties, like a schoolgirl.
Fu Chenyu stood there without saying anything. He knew that Fu Yong could not be persuaded at this time.
The couple had never done anything bad in their lives, but when they met again after only a dozen years, they were already separated by death.
Ji Mian felt indescribable depression and sadness in his heart. He quietly held Fu Chenyu's hand, trying to give him some strength.
"Strangers' Tenderness" only briefly mentions Fu Chenyu's life experience, but in this world, he created a family that was manipulated by fate.
Fu Chenyu... didn't have to live such a miserable life.
He will have loving parents, a wealthy family, a cool appearance, a brain better than his peers, and a bright future.
The more Ji Mian thought about it, the sadder he became, and he held Fu Chenyu's hand tighter and tighter.
Fu Yong had a lot to say to Ning Qian. After Fu Chenyu and Ji Mian paid their respects to Ning Qian, Fu Yong still wanted to stay with Ning Qian for a while.
Fu Chenyu and Ji Mian left first and drove back from Tongcheng Cemetery. When they passed the ring road, Fu Chenyu suddenly had an idea and asked, "Ji Mian, do you want to visit your old elementary school?"
More than ten years have passed, and the place where Ji Mian and his classmates studied has long since changed.
In 2013, the government planned to add two subway lines in Tongcheng, and Liming Primary School happened to be on the planned route. So in that year, Liming Primary School was abolished by the government and merged into Tongcheng Tiancheng Primary School.
The campus where they studied has been completely demolished, and the gate of the former Liming Primary School has now become a high-end subway entrance.
Ji Mian remembered that there were three small shops near the school, selling all kinds of small toys and snacks, each costing fifty cents or one yuan.
He had three yuan of pocket money every day, and Fu Chenyu had much more pocket money than him. After the third grade of elementary school, they became completely familiar with each other, and Ji Mian ate a lot of snacks bought by Fu Chenyu.
Thinking of this, he leaned against the car window and laughed.
Fu Chenyu asked him what he was laughing at, and Ji Mian said, "I remembered when I was a child. Do you still remember He Xi?"
Fu Chenyu felt a little unhappy when talking about other things. This He Xi had caused Ji Mian to be injured.
"When He Xi was in elementary school, he bragged that his uncle worked at KFC. I was so envious. My biggest wish at the time was to have a relative who worked at KFC. I'd eat there every day!"
In that era, KFC was a luxury for children.
Back then, a family bucket cost only 45 yuan. Lin Minzhi loved KFC's egg tarts. She would always nibble off the non-sweet edges and give Ji Mian the hot egg tarts inside.
He really thought that Lin Minzhi didn't like sweet food, but in fact, it was just that his mother couldn't bear to let him eat it and wanted to give him the best food.
Ji Mian looked at the subway station with tall buildings. The long summer in his memory, the old-fashioned fan, and the 28-inch bicycle were all covered with a thick layer of mist, as if they happened in a dream. No matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not recall the details.
Everything is changing, the only thing that hasn't changed is the people around you.
From a long time ago, I have always been with him, heading towards a more distant future.
Ji Mian started to complain to himself: "I'm really getting old. I like to reminisce about the past every day."
He glanced at his phone. It was four in the afternoon, and the clouds had already been dyed orange by the setting sun. It gets dark early in winter. Ji Mian reminded Fu Chenyu: "Let's go back to pick up Uncle Fu. It's not easy to walk after dark."
"I asked the driver to pick her up, don't worry." Fu Chenyu's family has a driver, who is usually responsible for picking up Lin Yun from school. Occasionally, if Fu Chenyu drinks a little at work, he will call the driver.
Ji Mian was relieved. Fu Chenyu suddenly laughed and said, "You're already caring about your father-in-law before you even get married?"
Ji Mian tapped his shoulder: "You're just a chatterbox! I can't argue with you, so I won't say anything."
Fu Chenyu drove slowly. Ji Mian realized that this was not the way home. He turned to look at Fu Chenyu: "Where are you going?"
Fu Chenyu smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."
In the sky, the sunset glow slants down.
The car drove slowly from the downtown area all the way to Lingang County, and Ji Mian's heart suddenly started beating strangely.
He and Fu Chenyu have known each other for more than ten years. There is an indescribable tacit understanding and telepathy between them. Sometimes he thinks Fu Chenyu will do something, and Fu Chenyu often does it.
He now seemed to feel that Fu Chenyu would propose to him.
No way.
Ji Mian appeared very calm on the surface, but his heart was actually beating wildly.
This seems like something Fu Chenyu would do. He is a nostalgic person and he will end where he started.
Lingang County is where their destinies intersect and where their life stories begin.
Ji Mian suddenly regretted not carrying the ring with him!
He just guessed that Fu Chenyu might propose, but what if he didn't?
Ji Mian racked his brains but couldn't remember whether Fu Chenyu had done anything strange in the past year.
He is proposing, so he must have a ring!
When did Fu Chenyu buy the ring?
How come he doesn't know?
No, no, no, no... Don't think too much, Ji Mian. Maybe it's not a proposal, but just a revisit to the old place.
Today they went to see where the primary school was. Maybe Fu Chenyu would suddenly feel like coming to see the kindergarten!
By the way, their kindergarten was also demolished... It's really like reading about demolition. The kindergarten has now become a water park, and you have to buy a ticket to enter.
The dirt road near the kindergarten is gone, and now it has been turned into an asphalt road. Cars drive forward. The old street where shoes and cars were repaired has now become a bustling snack street. The old people who used to sit in a daze at the door of the old house have become fashionable and beautiful young people.
Lingang County has changed so much that Ji Mian can no longer find the old way.
However, he didn't expect that the abandoned train station from more than ten years ago was still there.
It is probably because the geographical location is too remote and the government has not yet planned for this area. The weeds that originally only reached the calves have now reached the waist.
Winter is coming, and dead grass has climbed up the platform. Ji Mian jumped off the train, and his premonition became stronger and stronger.
As expected, after Fu Chenyu got out of the car, he took out the violin from the trunk and waved it towards Ji Mian: "Want to listen?"
Ji Mian's throat moved, "Evita."
Fu Chenyu raised his eyebrows.
Ji Mian: "'Don't Cry for Me', that's the song you played back then."
"It's a bit of a test of my memory. I haven't done it for a long time." Fu Chenyu jumped with his long legs and jumped to the place where he stood that year.
Unlike in 1997, the only people listening to the boy's music at the train station were the puppets abandoned by humans who shared the same fate as him.
And now, Fu Chenyu was picked up and became a treasure in the hearts of others.
Fu Chenyu tilted his head and adjusted his posture. The next second, long notes danced on his fingertips and swirled in the mountains.
"Evita".
——Mianmian, don’t cry for me.
Ji Mian looked up at him, his eyes red. His boy had finally grown up well through the hardships of life.
The little white flowers no longer bloomed on the rails, but he knew that those flowers had not been defeated by fate.
They emerge from the mud and struggle to survive in unknown corners. Just a gust of spring breeze can bring them back to life.
Fu Chenyu remembered the evening of 1997, Ning Qian's white skirt, the white windmill in Ji Mian's hand, and the white flower in the little fox's arms.
He reached out his hand to pull Ji Mian who was dancing on the train platform. Fu Chenyu thought about the white, beautiful dream he was holding in his hand.
Ji Mian hugged him suddenly, and Fu Chenyu was almost knocked over by him.
The little fox pendant fell to the ground again under the weight. Ji Mian let go of his shoulders with red eyes. Fu Chenyu supported him and took out a pair of plain rings from his pocket.
In Ji Mian's blushing face, the man knelt on one knee on the ground, smiling cunningly: "Although it's very rustic. But I want to ask a question,"
"Jimian, will you marry me?"
He waited quietly for Ji Mian's reply, his heart beating vigorously.
Then, Ji Mian stretched out his hand and Fu Chenyu put the ring on his ring finger.
He said seriously, from his childhood to the present.
I used to say, Fu Chenyu, you have to grow up well.
Now say: "Fu Chenyu, I will love you forever."
Ji Mian smiled at him, her eyes curved, filled with the stars in the entire night sky, overflowing and falling into the palm of his hand.
Fu Chenyu's heart tightened, and with a slight squeeze, he finally embraced his star in his arms.
From 1998 to 2015.
