The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

I stayed in Kuala Lumpur for more than a month.

In order to make life more convenient, I decided not to stay in a hotel, but to find two suitable houses in this bustling city.

This decision was not only for my comfort, but also to have a stable habitat.

One house is specially prepared for Chang Jianlin and Datu, and the other house is my own private space, a place where I can calm down and think about the future.

Both houses are located on the same floor. This layout undoubtedly increases the convenience of interaction between us, while also retaining our own privacy.

Considering my daily travel needs in Kuala Lumpur, I rented an additional car.

This is not only for the convenience of life, but also to maintain a certain degree of freedom of movement.

Chang Jianlin also specially obtained a Malaysian driver's license for this purpose.

From then on, he was responsible for driving when going out.

During the days I stayed in Kuala Lumpur, apart from waiting for news about He Hong, I also had another thought hidden in my mind - that is, I wanted to see Li Yan again.

This thought is like a slowly growing vine, entangled in my heart, both gentle and thorny.

Whenever the night is quiet and the hustle and bustle of the city recedes, I will face this complex emotion alone in my own private space.

I want to see her, to see if she is doing well after parting and if she still remembers the time we spent together.

However, I am also afraid that this meeting will reopen old scars, and that those unprocessed misunderstandings and emotions will turn into an insurmountable gap.

I'm afraid that my appearance will disturb her life again, and that the distance between us has become too far, so far that even if we meet, it can only be polite greetings between two strangers.

This contradictory mood makes me wander between wanting to see and not seeing.

Every time I make up my mind to see her, the scene of the breakup always comes to mind. Those choices I once made to protect her have now become obstacles for me to take this step.

And every time I was about to give up this idea, her smile would appear in my heart involuntarily, and those happy times reappeared like yesterday, making me unable to let go.

On days like this, I started to drive more aimlessly through the streets of Kuala Lumpur.

The bustling city was in sharp contrast to my mood. The scenery outside the car window receded quickly, but my thoughts were spinning in place.

Every time I pass by a place that may be related to her, my heart tightens unconsciously. In a daze, I even fantasize about catching her by chance in the crowd.

This indecision made my time in Kuala Lumpur both torture and an inner struggle.

During this process, I gradually realized that no matter what the final decision was, I needed to untie the knot in my heart first. Only by facing the past can I have a new beginning.

On this day, through An Qingyue, I learned the address of Li Yan’s flower shop in Kuala Lumpur.

I feel nervous and excited at the same time. I know that at this moment, I will face the long-standing estrangement between us.

Chang Jianlin drove through the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur. Every time he stopped at a traffic light, my heart beat a little faster.

Finally, the car slowly stopped opposite a flower shop with simple and elegant decoration.

Through the front windshield, I saw the flower shop’s sign saying “lovell” in English. It seemed ordinary, but it exuded a unique atmosphere.

I held my breath and saw Li Yan wearing a simple white shirt and light blue jeans, busy in the store.

Her hair was slightly longer than she remembered, and was tied back casually. When she occasionally bent down to arrange the bouquet, a stray strand of hair gently brushed her cheek. At that moment, time seemed to have stopped.

Li Yan's side face looks particularly soft in the sun, and she focuses on weaving emotions for each bouquet of flowers, just like she once weaved dreams for our future.

Chang Jianlin asked me softly: "Boss, shall we go in now?"

I didn't answer immediately, my eyes were still locked on Li Yan, and I had a lot of thoughts in my heart.

I know that taking this step means facing the past and the unknown future.

But I also knew that no matter what the outcome, I needed this loop to be closed and that we all deserved a clear answer.

Taking a deep breath, I finally got out of the car.

Every step I took to walk to the flower shop hit my heart hard.

The scenery on the roadside receded quickly like rewinding, but my mind was completely focused on the upcoming reunion.

I think this is fate. No matter what, at least I took this step bravely...

"Hello, may I ask..." Before she finished speaking, Li Yan raised her head. At that moment, her eyes locked with mine, and the whole world seemed to stop.

Her expression changed from surprise to complexity, and a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes, as if memories of the past and recognition of reality collided in an instant.

But soon, that excitement was replaced by indifference, as if telling me that everything in the past has changed.

She said nothing and turned back to the shop. I followed her into the flower shop.

The layout in the store is simple and warm, and every flower is carefully taken care of. Just like Li Yan's attitude towards life, she can bloom strongly no matter how hard the wind and rain are.

We sat down at a wooden table in the store, looking at each other, and there was an indescribable tension and silence in the air.

There was an indescribable indifference in her eyes, which was a kind of determination after going through hardships and a kind of protection of past emotions.

I tried to break the silence: "I..."

She raised her hand slightly to signal me to stop. The indifference in her eyes seemed to have loosened a little, but she was still firm.

Her voice was low and strong: "What are you doing here?"

There are thousands of words I want to express in my heart, but under her calm and determined eyes, all words seem pale and feeble.

I took a deep breath and tried to make my voice sound firmer, "I've been coming to Kuala Lumpur for a while... I've wanted to come over and see you several times, but I never had the courage."

"Look at me?" She smiled softly, "What's so good about me?"

"Can we start over?" I almost mustered up all my courage to say this.

Li Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Yang Lei, people always have to look forward. Now we all have our own lives. Maybe, for some things, let it pass."

I fell silent, not knowing how to continue this topic.

Although her attitude was cold, there was an unspeakable complex emotion in her eyes.

I could feel that even though she said let everything go, her heart was not completely free of fluctuations.

Like icebergs hidden beneath the surface of the ocean, deep emotional whirlpools lie beneath the cold surface.

"I know..." I said slowly, "I know that the past cannot be changed, and I also know that people have to try to look forward. But, I really don't want to let us become the past. Even if we look forward, I I also hope to be with you..."

Li Yan looked at me. At that moment, there seemed to be a slight fluctuation in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Yang Lei, you know, life cannot always be based on the past. We all need to be responsible for our own future. .”

"I understand." I replied, "I don't want you to give up the present or the future for the past. I just want to say that if possible, I hope we can get to know each other again and start over, not back to the past, but Let’s look forward together.”

There is a faint floral fragrance in the air, which seems to be a symbol of time standing still.

Li Yan did not answer immediately. She lowered her head and looked at a flower on the table, then slowly raised her head and looked at me deeply...
