see you sooner or later

"That's the end of the story." Gao Ge said to Ye Ying with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to go through so much back then. Have you not been in touch with her for so many years?"

"No, why contact me?"

"That's right, they're all married."

Gao Ge smiled and drank the water in the bottle.Her story is actually not over yet.

One day after they separated, Gao Ge and Ye Ying ran into Lili and Xiaoai on the street.Lili asked her if she would like to go for a meeting.Gao Ge agreed.The four of them came to a dessert shop, and after each of them ordered a drink, Xiao Ai and Ye Ying wisely made space for the two of them to be alone.After a long silence, Gao Ge asked:

"Get married soon."

"Well, June [-]nd."

"congratulations."

"Thank you. How about you, how are you doing recently? You're so thin that your cheeks are sunken."

"It's okay, it's okay. You've lost weight, too."

"I'm so sorry that day, I shouldn't have hit you."

"Hey, it doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt if you hit someone." After a while of silence, Gao Ge said, "I miss you a lot." As soon as the words came out, tears rolled in his eyes.

"I miss you too. Wedding, can you come and see me? You haven't seen me in a wedding dress yet." Like Gao Ge, Lili couldn't hold back her tears.

"Okay." Gao Ge nodded with a tearful smile, "It's windy today, let's go." Lili also nodded.Walking out of the dessert shop, the air is filled with the smell of dust.Gao Ge took out a mask from her bag and gently hung it on Lili's ear.She held Lili's face and pressed her forehead and said, "I love you." Then she turned and left.Lili stood there watching Gao Ge's receding back, and said silently, "I love you too."

Before Lili got married, Gao Ge sent Lili the birthday gift prepared for Lili this year.It was a scroll with five words written by Gao Ge himself - see you again sooner or later.It is a wish, a past and a wait.Lili found a sunny place and carefully hung up the scroll.Every morning, I would stand in front of the scroll for a while, talking or staring blankly for a while.

Ye Ying looked at Gao Ge whose eyes were still slightly red and said, "But think about it, this is actually the best choice."

"Yeah, otherwise I don't know how it will end. Maybe it will be more sad and painful."

"Let's talk about work. Are you used to teaching? You have never been willing to do this job."

"Hehe, the more you don't want to do something, the more fate will arrange for you to do it. By the way, I have a lecture at H University next Sunday night. Would you like to come and listen to it, and I will reserve a good seat for you."

"Okay, do you want a ticket?"

"Hehe, do you still use the ticket if I'm here?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about traditional Chinese culture and Chinese philosophy."

"So profound?"

"It's okay, go and listen and you'll know."

After saying goodbye to Ye Ying, Gao Ge returned home and saw He Ming cooking, with a happy smile on his lips.

The lectures arranged by the school are quite valued.Ticket admission is also overcrowded.Xiao Ai and Lili saw Gao Ge on the podium, grown up, and spoke more calmly.After learning that it was Gao Ge who held the lecture, Lili specially prepared a gift for Gao Ge, and kept it with her for fear of forgetting it.

Twenty years ago you looked at me on the podium from below, and I looked at you on the podium from below twenty years later. Fate seems to be reincarnated.The lecture received a very good response. After the end, the audience walked out in an orderly manner. Gao Ge looked down the stage, and his eyes immediately locked on Lili who was sitting under the stage.Looking at each other for a long time, Gao Ge felt his eyes blurred.She smiled and walked down the stage, and Ye Ying, who was sitting in the first row, also followed.Gao Ge came to Lili and smiled.

"Very well said."

"Thank you."

"long time no see."

"Are you ok?"

"It's okay, how about you?" While talking, a staff member of the lecture organizer came to Gao Ge and whispered something to her.Gao Ge looked back at Lili and said:

"Going to do other things first."

"Well, this is for you." With that said, Lili handed Gao Ge a plastic-wrapped note.When Gao Ge took the note, her fingertips lightly touched Lili's, and her heart trembled slightly.Gao Ge looked at the note and smiled.

"We'll meet again when we have time." Gao Ge said and stretched out his hand.Lili smiled and stretched out her hand.Gao Ge held Lili's hand and squeezed it hard suddenly. Seeing Lili's expression changed in pain, she smiled and said, "Remember me."

The note said - see you again sooner or later.
