"Friends are never alone."
"A single word, 'friend,' and you'll understand."
"There are still wounds and pain."
"If you still need to go, I'll be there for you..."
Jiayuan Residential Area, not far from Dongyulou, Shashi.
The rental room was simply and cleanly furnished, with a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
Liu Wanrong, dressed in a nightgown, sat on a clean single bed, with Wang Yueheng's singing voice playing in her earphones.
As the song played, scenes from her time with Wang Yueheng resurfaced in her mind.
To thank me for helping take care of his father, the other party specially brought back barbecue skewers from the night market after the competition and gave them to me while I was on night shift to satisfy my craving.
In order not to fall behind his own equally impoverished self, he immediately paid back the several thousand yuan he earned from busking.
Liu Wanrong was initially moved by the young singer's unwavering and indomitable spirit.
That's why they chose to help this father and son, complete strangers.
Even after the other party became famous, Liu Wanrong never thought of relying on Wang Yueheng to change her life.
To avoid suspicion, she never took the initiative to contact Wang Yueheng.
Instead, it's often the other person who messages me to ask about my work and life.
Thinking about this.
Then I heard this song, "Friends," which seemed to have been written specifically for me.
Liu Wanrong then realized how narrow-minded and superficial her previous thoughts had been.
This young singer, deep down, had already considered himself a lifelong confidant.
That is precisely why.
The other person disregarded all taboos, couldn't bear to see her being scolded by the milk tea shop manager, and directly led her away.
That's why they want to find themselves a job so that their lives won't be so miserable...
Listening to the singing.
The image of Wang Yueheng's excited and happy smile when they met by chance last night flashed into his mind's eye.
Liu Wanrong's eyes gradually warmed up.
She seemed to see again the image of that simple and straightforward young man who used to go out late at night to sing and play music on the street to earn money.
It turns out that I had unintentionally made friends with people I would cherish for a lifetime.
That is the most precious and pure friendship in the world!
Before that.
Liu Wanrong had originally planned to buy another train ticket to leave Shashi.
I moved to a nearby city to look for work.
She was unwilling to go to Wang Yueheng's company again, lest she give others ammunition to criticize and attack the young singer.
Looking back now, I realize how naive and ridiculous my thoughts were.
Now, she has decided to stay in Shashi.
Join Hengxue Entertainment team.
No matter what happens in the future, we will stand firmly behind Wang Yueheng.
Continue to be a friend and offer help whenever the other party needs it, without hesitation!
...
September, the season for demobilization from the military.
A high-speed railway station.
A row of veterans, adorned with large red flowers and wearing uniforms without shoulder insignia, are lined up neatly on the platform, waiting to board the train home.
Starting today, they will honorably retire from the military and return to their hometowns to become ordinary members of society.
Before them stood their former comrades-in-arms and old squad leaders, also dressed in military uniforms, who had come to see them off.
"Old Li, remember to send me the rice wine from your hometown that you mentioned when you get back, or I'll come after you later!"
"I remember last time I went on vacation, I was chased by the inspectors and had to climb over the wall to hide in the sheepfold. Luckily, I didn't get caught and given a demerit. Poor two inspectors, they were panting and out of breath, hahaha~"
"I'll keep practicing my fighting skills when we get back. We'll have a proper match when we have time. I can't let you take me down with one hand again!"
"My buddy, you've made a fortune starting your own company. After you all retire from the military, come and join me. I'll give each of you a top-level management position, hehe!"
"I'm going home to enjoy life now, you guys can continue your miserable existence~"
Before the train arrived, everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.
It's as if leaving the army is just a common occurrence in the eyes of these men.
