the road is far in the south

In July/August, the temperature in Beijing completely changed from hot and hot to muggy.

The vicious sun shines from morning to night, very hot and even dazzling

The whole capital looked like a big stuffy furnace.Baking starts at dawn, and by noon the ground is ready for frying eggs.

Lu Yuan never expected in his life that the sandbag he put on would end up on him.

He even didn't expect that the person who wanted him dead would be China Southern Airlines.

There was no reason, or he already knew the reason when he fell from the building and saw who was standing on the bank of the steps.

But it was all too late.

He could not save himself, nor could he.

I had to let my body lose control and keep falling and falling.Until there was a loud "bang" on the ground.

People around rushed up and surrounded Lu Yuan.

Cries, whoops, screams.He couldn't hear.

The sun was dazzling, and Lu Yuan smiled when he closed his eyes.He saw his mother.

It was his mother who came to pick him up.

AEM

In the morning, the south is in a state of distraught.

"President, you...you signed the wrong name." The secretary took the folder with Nanfang's signature, and found that the name displayed in the lower right corner was not Nanfang.

Nanfang came back to his senses and looked at it, and it was indeed a mistake. "You, draw up a new copy of this document and bring it to me to sign."

"Yes, President."

The secretary was also puzzled, logically speaking, his own president would not make such low-level mistakes.I don't know why I came here today, I was always in a daze, and I did something wrong.

After the secretary left, Nanfang called Lu Yuan a few more times, but there was no one answering, until the phone turned off.

In desperation, Nanfang dialed the number linked to the secretary's desk, "Go and check whether the people who left Qingyang's construction site today have returned."

"Yes."

After a few minutes, the secretary came in hurriedly.

"what happened?"

"President, the people at Qingyang said... something happened at the construction site."

The pen in Nanfang's hand snapped instantly.He stood up abruptly, and raised his voice a few times, "What? What did you say? Who has an accident? Is it a worker or??..." He suddenly had an ominous premonition.

No, no.Nanfang comforted himself over and over again, how could it be such a coincidence.

But...some things just happen to happen.

"It's... a colleague from the construction site."

"Who?"

"Lu Yuan." At this moment, the female secretary remembered why she felt familiar when she heard this name just now.Isn't this the wrong name that the president signed on the document just now!

Nanfang felt his brain go blank for a moment, and his ears were thundering.

"That hospital?!" He took a deep breath, trying to keep calm.

"301."

Nanfang almost ran to the parking lot below on his knees.Sitting in the car, he suddenly found that he couldn't drive. His hands and feet were out of his control.

He took out his phone, "Get down to the garage and take me to 301."

It didn't take long for the driver to appear in the underground garage.

----------

Beijing 301 Hospital.

Nanfang rushed to the door of the rescue room.

"Boss, President."

Nanfang asked in a daze: "He, what about others? What about others?"

"President, Lu Gong,, he is undergoing surgery."

There was a coax in Nanfang's head.

----------

The operation was successful, but Lu Yuan fell into a deep coma.

South looked at the sky outside the house.

The sky is surprisingly blue today.Except for a few white clouds, there are no magazines mixed in.

The sunlight scattered in the house.Shine a golden yellow in the room.

"A Yuan, I dreamed about the time we just met last night." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Nan Nan murmured.

Between words, Nanfang gently massaged the muscles of Lu Yuan's arms and hands.

"Ayuan..." Nanfang whispered, "You can't leave me behind."

On this day, Nanfang and Lu Yuan talked a lot.

Their past, present and future.very many.

As if to say everything in this life.

"Ayuan, do you regret it?"

If Lu Yuan could answer him, then he would definitely say, "He doesn't regret it. He doesn't regret knowing Nanfang, and he doesn't regret falling in love with Nanfang."

Lu Yuan will not regret it.It's just that he will feel a little regretful.

If he had discovered his heart earlier, perhaps.Things wouldn't be what they are now.

Nanfang lowered his head, attached himself to kiss Lu Yuan's lips lightly.Again and again.

Lu Yuan's light breath sprayed on his face.same as before.Nothing has changed.

He breathed close to him, intimate.

----------

At night, Nanfang lit a cigarette.

He stood on the balcony, the cool night wind blowing over his cheeks.

The flame in the lighter flickered for a moment, then went out quickly.

In this night, it is very bright.Like a spark.

He still didn't light the cigarette.

Just let the lighter come on and then go out.

Looking at the night lights of the two in the distance, Nanfang called Gu Yunzhi.

"Do me a favor, will you?"

Gu Yunzhi was silent for a moment, "Well, tell me."

Nanfang said, "Can senior Jin Haolin come and treat A Yuan?"

Gu Yunzhi had expected that he would call himself, and understood what he meant by calling himself.

"You know, I don't know Jin Haolin's whereabouts." Gu Yunzhi paused and continued, "I will try my best to contact him. As for whether Lu Yuan can wait for that time... I don't promise."

"I see."

Nanfang knows that Lu Yuan's current situation is very bad.But there is nothing he can do!

"thank you."

"No. It's not a big deal." After all, Lu Yuan also brought a lot of benefits to the Gu Group.

The South didn't sleep all night.On the second day, he finished washing early and bought a bouquet of red roses at the flower shop in front of the hospital.

He suddenly remembered last night that he had never sent roses to Lu Yuan in the past ten years.So on this day he bought the freshest red roses.

I want to give it to Lu Yuan.

Nanfang entered the gate of the hospital with a rose in his arms. There were a lot of people coming to the hospital in the morning, and Nanfang was not in a hurry, so he didn't choose to squeeze the elevator with everyone.

More importantly, he was afraid that too many people would crush the roses.

For some reason, his heart beats surprisingly fast.It was like meeting Lu Yuan for the first time.

Feeling uneasy, Nanfang walked into the corridor where Lu Yuan's ward was located.

It was a strong and pungent smell of disinfectant.

Bad smell, disgusting.

The South seemed to smell death.

After all these days, Lu Yuan still couldn't make it through.

No one except Gu Yunzhi knew that Lu Yuan's health was already very bad.

This time, he fell from a high altitude and broke various organs. His heart was also inserted into his ribs and he almost died.

And none of that matters, the most important thing is.

Lu Yuan is already suffering from blood cancer, which is at an advanced stage.

Maybe he was already conscious.

July nineteenth.At 17:[-] in the morning, Lu Yuan stopped breathing.

Lu Yuan is too tired, he died 15 years ago.

15 years later, he is still gone.

----------

The corridors and wards were in a mess.

Lu Zhennan, Tang Xin, Lu Yu, Gu Yunzhi, Shen Shi'an, Chen Han, Tong Aotian all came.

Nanfang walked slowly to the bed with the red rose in his arms.

The white sheet covered Lu Yuan's face.

Chen Han called Nanfang by his name over and over again.

His voice was loud and clear, but the South didn't seem to be able to hear him.

Nannan went to the window and /inserted/into/the flowers in the vase.Slowly he lifted the white sheet covering Lu Yuan's head.

The ward is peaceful and quiet, there is no one else except Lu Yuan.

In the quiet south, you can even hear your own breathing.

He didn't stay in this quiet ward for long.

Nanfang walked out of the ward in a daze.

The hallway was full of people.

Lu Yu rushed forward suddenly, she tore Nanfang's collar, and hit him with all her strength.

Lu Yu cried and yelled at Nan Nan, and she questioned him over and over again, asking him, "Why didn't you take care of him! Why why!! Why did you show up in front of my brother again!! Why! Why did you!! Didn't take care of him Good man!! Say it, say it!"

Lu Yu was pulled away by Tong Aotian.She threw herself into Tong Aotian's arms and cried loudly like a child.

What she lost was the most important man in her life besides his father.

And Nanfang lost the only person he ever loved in his life.

Suddenly, a young nurse blocked Nan's footsteps. "Family, please be sorry, here are some documents that you need to sign."

Nanfang appeared in Lu Yuan's ward all day long, and was easily regarded as a family member by unknown medical staff.

Nanfang subconsciously took the file.

The nurse asked him curiously, "Are you,,, his elder brother? I see that you often come to the hospital to take care of him."

elder brother?no.

Nanfang was stunned.

What kind of brother is he.He doesn't even count Lu Yuan's family members.

He smiled, a sardonic smile on his lips.Return the pen and folder to the nurse. "Sorry, I'm not a family member."

"Then your name is Nan?"

Nanfang wondered why the nurse asked him that.

The nurse said with some regret: "The patient woke up last and kept calling this name. You two brothers, you should have a good relationship. Hey, what a pity."

What's the use of shouting.

Anyway, the South is no longer heard.

Lu Xiao came late and did not see Lu Yuan for the last time.

----------

Lu Yuan's funeral was very simple.

Because he had parents, Lu Yuan's body did not come home.

Moved directly from the hospital ward to the funeral home.

Lu Yuan doesn't have many friends.

At the funeral, apart from family members, there were colleagues and some classmates and friends.

Lu Yuan's ashes were buried on the Hungry Ghost Festival that year.

----------

Everything is back to normal.

On the third day after Lu Yuan died, the south disappeared.

He resigned as president of AE.M in one email.

Traveled far with a little luggage.

No one knew where he went or what he wanted to do.

It's just that every year on July [-]th, there will be a bouquet of red roses in front of Lu Yuan's grave.

However, none of the people who went to worship had seen the South.

Come without a shadow, go without a trace.

With the departure of Lu Yuan, it seems that the South has also left.

First year, second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year, sixth year.until the seventh year.

Before the grave, Nanfang put down the red rose in his hand.

He looked at the picture on the tombstone.

Seven years later, the South has been dying, but the person in the photo has not changed at all.

"A Yuan, I'll wait for you until I'm 37 years old. If you don't show up again, I won't wait for you."

He said that sentence seven times, from when he was 28 to when he was 35.

Seven times in total.

All told to the same person.

It's just that the person can't hear it anymore.

----------

Seven years is enough time to change a lot.

Lu Xiao turned back to Beijing.

Lu Yu also graduated with a master's degree.Talked about a good boyfriend, life is very happy.

Gu Yunzhi gave birth to a pair of twin sons, and during the confinement period, he kept crying because he gave birth to another pair of sons.

Chen Han and Tong Aotian adopted a little boy.

----------

It was the summer of the eighth year.

The South returned to Beijing early.

In the summer of that year, it was in Gu Yunzhi's Sixth Mansion.

"Where did you go this year?" Gu Yunzhi asked him with a smile while hugging his twins.

Nanfang hugged Shen Cishu and the two brothers for fun. "South Africa. I went to see crocodiles." This time I went to the Amazon in the south.Saw all kinds of strange animals and scenery.

Feeling that the world is great, but also glad that I was born in China.A country that is not very feudal and superstitious.

"Uncle Nanfang, is the crocodile big? Does it look good?" The little man held a gift from Nanfang in his hand.

Nanfang likes children very much, so every year when he comes back, he will go to the cemetery to see Lu Yuan.He will also bring all the gadgets collected from all over the world this year to the children of the Shen family.

Therefore, the Shen family brothers look forward to the arrival of Nan Nan uncle very much when summer comes.Because every time he comes to the sixth mansion, he will bring them many things that other children don't have.

"It's very big. Next time I have a chance, I'll take Ci Shu to see the crocodile, okay?"

Shen Cishu was teased by him and rolled around in his arms.The little man nodded decisively: "Okay!"

Nanfang suddenly remembered that he forgot one thing.

He almost missed his death day this year.

So he bid farewell to Gu Yunzhi in a hurry, because he was still entangled by the two brothers Shen Cishu when he was about to leave, and it was Gu Yunzhi who helped him out in the end.

When he drove to the cemetery in a hurry.

He found that everything was still the same as before.

The forest trees are lush and the grass is lush.

Everything here seems to have never changed because of time, but it seems that with the passage of time, there is something more here.

He is over 35 years old, but Lu Yuan is still the same as when he was 27 years old.

Nothing has changed.

Lu Yuan doesn't like to laugh.So in the photo of the tombstone, his smile is not obvious.

With a flat expression, it was hard to see what he wanted to express.

At that moment, the South was in a trance.

His heart twitched suddenly.

He was eager to find the person in the photo.

He wants to tell him that he loves him.

extremely love.

Loved before, loved now, and will continue to love in the future.

But he has been looking for eight years, but he still hasn't found this person.

He hated the feeling of being left behind.

He told himself that he must find this person.

This is the third condition he puts on his offer.

He said: "Lu Yuan is not allowed to leave the south for life and life. When he dies, he is the ghost of the south, and when he lives, he is the person in the arms of the south. Life after life."

----------

The South died quietly.

The summer of the eighth year.

The weather remained gloomy that day until it began to rain in the evening.

The guards of the cemetery looked at the car at the door and hadn't driven away until night, feeling puzzled.

Put on a poncho and a hat.Go deep into the cemetery.

It's still July [-]th of the year.

Nanfang died beside Lu Yuan's tombstone.

No will, no last words.

Nanfang's death was sudden and peaceful.

Perhaps the word "sudden" should not be used to describe his death. After all, everything in the south died with Lu Yuan's death eight years ago.

What is dead now is only a shell.

A body without a soul, without love.

For him, this may be a relief.

He was finally able to pursue the person he loved deeply in his heart.

That was something they had agreed upon, and he was going to finish it now.

.........

When the garden keeper found out, the south was already icy cold.

The red on the wrist is like a dark light on a rainy night.

Striking, pathos.

.........

At night, the Beijing Criminal Investigation Detachment organized police officers to dispatch the police.

On the second day, the death of the eldest son of the Nan Group and the former president of AE·M spread throughout Beijing like a flu virus.

The local news media wanted to report it, but Gu Yunzhi used the power of the Gu family to suppress it.

When she stood in the funeral home.She suddenly remembered a passage that Lu Yuan once wrote in a book.

The title of that passage is: "The Far Away."

Lu Yuan said so in the book.

He says:"

I had it for a while.

Pleasure, pain.happy, sad.

I want to leave every detail and corner of this day with my only memory.

But it left me very quickly, I can't remember it, but it's hard to forget it.

So, my life is surrounded by luck and misfortune, happiness and pain.

I couldn't breathe and thought of death.

This is the best way.

until I met him,

It's like a person who is on the edge of a cliff has finally found the direction to live.

I spent a lot of time trying to start a new life.

i made it

But I also failed.

for so long,

I still failed after all.

I lost to myself.

Thankful I had you in my short life,

Never left, never regretted.

And thank you for giving me the chance,

let me meet you,

lucky to be with you,

my sweetheart.

I am waiting for you in the distance.

----------

July [-]th of the ninth year.

Gu Yunzhi stood in front of the tombstone and took out two pieces of paper from his pocket.

Those were no ordinary sheets of paper.

The paper fell on the South's tomb.

His tomb is next to Luyuan.

One of the papers is drawing paper.

There are two boys and a piano.

In the painting, a little boy sits in front of a black grand piano, and behind him stands a curly-haired boy in a hospital gown.

And the other one is a photo.

In the photograph were two boys of about sixteen or seventeen.

One looked stunned, and the other had a happy smile on his face.

This is their story.

Short and long.

…………

Gu Yunzhi turned around and walked out step by step.

Before turning the corner, she glanced back.

Lu Yuan still had the same indifferent face, with curly hair drooping on his head.The nasal bone is tall and straight, the facial features are correct, and the outline is clear.

Gu Yunzhi glanced at him, then looked to his side.

Nan smiled happily.

This smile was something that Gu Yunzhi had never seen in the past ten years.

She said quietly: "Thank you."

Turn around completely and leave.

Thank you for him and his presence.

Thank them for giving her the opportunity to get to know them.

Thank them for being her friends.

thank them.

Let her see a love that is different from ordinary love.

…………

Gu Yunzhi told herself that she would never come to this place again.

Outside the cemetery, Shen Shi'an stood by the car, watching Gu Yunzhi approach.

This is also love.

It is different from the love between Lu Yuan and Nan Nan.

The wind blew across her cheeks, shaking and shaking and blowing.

Gu Yunzhi suddenly hugged Shen Shi'an tightly.

At that second, Shen Shi'an heard the sound of the person in his arms sobbing suddenly.

Gu Yunzhi suddenly cried.

I was attacked by a great sense of sadness.

If only.. this was a country where gay marriage was legal.

If only.. all people in love could be together.

It would be great if... homosexuality didn't make the world fear and despair so much.

if..

It's a pity that if can only be if.

At that moment, Gu Yunzhi thought of her fellow brother.

"I miss Nannan so much. Shi'an, I miss Nannan so much. I miss Nannan so much."

Nan Nan.

Gu Xinnan.

Gu Yunzhi's brother.

Died of depression suicide.

The author has something to say:

This is the end of "The Road is Far in the South".

There is no side story, no peer world.There is no crossing either.

To die is to die.

All questions can be asked on Weibo, and I will reply one by one if I can.
