It seems like it's been a long time since he's been able to concentrate so intently and meticulously on completing something.
Another day of work ended, and Du Chenzhou returned to his room with heavy steps. After taking a shower, he lay down on the bed.
He was unusually not sleepy today. He stared at the ceiling with his eyes open. In the midst of his overly busy life, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness after being busy, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.
Du Chenzhou began to reflect on his experiences over the past few days and the job he was currently doing.
To put it bluntly, he was lucky. On his way back to China, he met Howard and Lusca on the train and formed a deep bond with them, gaining their trust, which led to his current job.
His work was born because of Howard and Lusca, and it will inevitably end because of them.
Howard and Lusca were only in China for work exchange, and he was only able to join the project because of their relationship.
However, the nature of this job meant that they wouldn't stay here for long, and it also meant that his job would be short-term.
The day Howard and Lusca returned home was the day his work was completely finished.
Thinking of this, Du Chenzhou couldn't help but feel a little lost.
What should he do after this job ends?
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs certainly won't want him anymore. After all, his identity isn't clear, and he's been loitering around the border. The only person he knows well, Shu Ying, now has her own family and children and a life of her own, and she has absolutely no feelings for him anymore...
Where will he go after this job ends?
He has not been in contact with his parents since he received their letter and set off to return home.
Given that I had lost my memory for so long, I had no idea where my parents were.
Moreover, given his current situation, it was really not advisable for him to contact his parents rashly.
After all, his family background wasn't much better than Shu Ying's. Shu Ying had a husband who was in the military, while he was all alone, making his situation extremely awkward.
It's obvious to anyone with a brain that he couldn't stay in Beijing forever, much less return to Shanghai.
Du Chenzhou had never felt so lonely and helpless before.
After thinking it over, Du Chenzhou couldn't help but turn his attention back to Shu Ying.
He and Shu Ying have known each other since they were children.
Although he secretly looked at Shu Ying more often, and Shu Ying hardly paid any attention to him, the two families were old acquaintances, and he had liked Shu Ying for so many years.
Looking back, he actually had many opportunities to confess his feelings, or at least to get to know Shu Ying.
But he kept missing out on opportunities with Shu Ying, watching them slip through his fingers time and time again.
When the opportunity was finally lost, Shu Ying married someone else and is now living happily with another man...
Du Chenzhou felt as if his heart had been hollowed out, and a sense of loss washed over him.
In the first half of his life, it seemed he had everything, but in the end, it seemed he had nothing left. Everything was like quicksand, scattered and drifted away before his eyes with a gust of wind, leaving nothing behind.
Nothing can truly be grasped.
Was his life destined to be like this? Was he and Shu Ying truly destined to be apart?
