After saying goodbye to Lisa, he called Tang Huaizhang first, but Tang Huaizhang told him that he was on a business trip and was not in city S at the moment.Tang Qiao felt a little regretful, so he could only tell him to pay attention to his health, and ended the call after saying a few words casually.

Tang Qiao walked out of the coffee shop, facing the road full of people and vehicles, suddenly felt very at a loss.

This is City S, the place where he was born and raised, but now it is extremely strange, and he can't find the slightest sense of belonging.

why?It is obviously still the high-rise building three years ago, the shopping mall opposite, the coffee shop I was just now, the TV tower not far away... nothing has changed, things have changed.

Tang Qiao took a deep breath to drive away his disturbed thoughts.He hailed a taxi and reported a familiar address.

The neighborhood is exactly the same as in memory, the security guard at the gate is still the bearded uncle.Tang Qiao felt that he seemed to have left here with his suitcase yesterday.

The security guard recognized Tang Qiao, showed a slightly surprised expression, and said politely, "Tang...Mr. Tang? Are you back?"

Tang Qiao nodded, "Yes, I'm back." But only temporarily.

Don Joe kept the key to the apartment, and even carried it with him, although he knew it was pointless to do so.

Opening the door, Tang Qiao didn't smell the expected dust.The apartment doesn't look like it hasn't been lived in for three years.Tang Qiao touched the shoe cabinet, his fingers were still clean.

The living room and kitchen are neat and clean, and there is still some food in the refrigerator.Tang Qiao walked into the bedroom. The quilt on the bed was very suitable for the current season. It seemed as if it had just been dried, and he could even feel the breath of the sun.

Tang Qiao sat down beside the bed with doubts.He and Shen Weichen jointly own this apartment, and no one else can enter it except them.Except for the time when Tang Qiao returned to China three years ago, she never came back, and Shen Weichen has never heard from her.Tang Qiao asked people to pay attention to this apartment. Once someone came in or out, he had no reason not to know.

Could it be that the apartment was only cleaned in the last few days?Did anyone expect him to return?If this is the case, this person can only be Shen Weichen.

Shen Weichen was really ready to see him.

Tang Qiao thought wildly for a while, and when he came back to his senses, it was already dark.He didn't bother to go to the hotel, so he just took a shower and slept in his previous bedroom.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, Tang Qiao couldn't help thinking of many things from the past.

Shen Weichen came to this house with Tao Fei for the first time. He was reading fairy tale books in the study. He ran to his bedroom to sleep because he was afraid of thunder. He was cooking in the kitchen. He was doing homework with his long hair hanging down, thinking He would put the tip of a pen against his forehead, and he would kneel in the living room and beg himself not to leave...

Everything in the past is like a movie, scene by scene in Tang Qiao's mind.

Tomorrow, we can see him.I don't know what he looks like now, whether he has grown taller, whether his eyes are still clear and bright as before.How would he react when he saw him?Will he growl, call him "Uncle Tang" in a crying voice, and then throw himself into his arms like a small animal, choking on his chest like when he was a child?Tell him he misses him.

Although Tang Qiao knew very well three years ago that meekness was only Shen Weichen's appearance, deep down, that boy was just like his biological father, a vicious wolf.But when he was middle-aged, Tang Qiao always hoped that those factors that made him uneasy had disappeared in the past three years.Standing in front of him tomorrow is still that well-behaved and sensible boy.

In order to make an agreement with Shen Weichen, Tang Qiao specially set the alarm clock.But the next day, a few seconds before the alarm clock rang, he woke up suddenly and turned off the alarm clock tiredly.

He didn't know what time he fell asleep last night, as if he woke up not long after he closed his eyes.

After a simple wash, Tang Qiao found that the shirt and coat were a little wrinkled, and opened the closet, all his previous clothes were neatly hung.Tang Qiao chose a black suit with a black tie, looking very solemn.

Tang Qiao called a car.When passing by a flower shop, Tang Qiao asked the driver to stop and went to buy a bouquet of white roses.

The driver asked him, "Sir, are you going to visit the grave?"

Tang Qiao smiled, "No, I'm going to meet someone."

"what?"

The driver froze, with a look on his face.He sent Tang Qiao to the destination as quickly as possible and ran away immediately.

After walking past rows of tombstones, Tang Qiao stopped.

In the photo, Tao Fei is only in her early 20s. She smiles at the camera, her eyes are curved, revealing two lovely dimples—this is her best years.

In the lower right corner of the tombstone, Shen Weichen's name was engraved.Looking at those three words, Tang Qiao was a little lost in thought.

He never knew what Shen Weichen's expression was when he lost his dearest relative in the world.

Tang Qiao bent down, put down the snow-white rose, and said softly, "Teacher, I'm here to see you. Shen Weichen will also come later. Do you miss him? Has he visited you in recent years?"

A gust of wind blows, and it seems that even the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

"Don Joe."

The familiar voice choked Tang Qiao.This voice, he will never hear it wrong, it is...

Tang Qiao turned her head and looked at the tall and straight young man in front of her in disbelief. "Elvis?"

Elvis' tone was very gentle, "It's me. Why are you wearing so little? Is it cold?" Elvis took off his scarf and wrapped it around Tang Qiao.

"Huh?" Tang Qiao, who was uneasy because he couldn't find Shen Weichen, said, "Why are you? Where is the person I'm looking for?"

Elvis smiled at him, "Did you make an appointment with Shen Weichen? You wait here for me, and I will take you to see him later."

"Ah, but..." Tang Qiao still had doubts. Why is elvis here? Shouldn't he be filming in city b?Also, where is Shen Weichen now?

"Shh." Elvis put a finger on Tang Qiao's lips, "Shall we talk about it later? Give me some time first."

Tang Qiao gave a blank "hmm".

Elvis took Tang Qiao's hand, Tang Qiao subconsciously wanted to break free, Elvis whispered: "Don't move."

Tang Qiao was so confused that he fell silent.

Elvis and Tang Qiao stood side by side in front of Tao Fei's grave, their fingers intertwined. Elvis' eyes fell on Tau Fei's photo, as if he was saying something.

A strange feeling gradually rose from Tang Qiao's heart, and a vague answer was about to come out, but Tang Qiao didn't dare to think about it.

After an unknown amount of time, Elvis turned his head and looked at Tang Qiao sideways, "Let's go."

"Ah."

Although it is spring, the temperature is still very low.It was obviously cold outside, but sweat broke out on Tang Qiao's forehead. "Where is Shen Weichen?"

Elvis looked helplessly at the eager Tang Qiao, "You just come with me."

There was a black business car parked at the gate of the cemetery, and Tang Qiao recognized it at a glance. It was the car he had given to Shen Weichen.

Elvis opened the car door, "Get in the car."

Tang Qiao clenched his fist tightly, "Is he inside?"

"I have something to tell you, get in the car."

Tang Qiao sat down in the passenger seat, and Elvis got into the driver's seat.The confined space made Tang Qiao a little uneasy, and his chest began to feel inexplicably restless.

"Shen Weichen, he won't come."

Tang Qiao almost grabbed Elvis' collar and approached him. "What did you say?"

"Calm down first." Elvis pressed Tang Qiao's shoulder.

Tang Qiao raised his head and said hoarsely, "I'll listen to your explanation."

Elvis was speechless for a while.He had the illusion that Tang Qiao already knew his identity subconsciously.Just like in that love affair, he called out his original name to himself.

Elvis sighed slowly, "In this world, there is no such person as 'Shen Weichen'."

Tang Qiao interrupted Elvis, "Are you kidding me?"

Elvis paused, "Or, in this world, there is no Elvis at all. Which of these two answers do you accept more?"

Tang Qiao's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, "You——what do you mean?"

"I am Shen Weichen."

"How is it possible?" Tang Qiao was almost out of breath, "The face is clearly different."

Shen Weichen showed a wry smile, "You hate my original face, do you remember? Are you satisfied with the effect of 700 million dollars? Uncle Tang."

The last three words made Tang Qiao lose all his strength. He sat on the car seat, and the young man's words echoed in his mind over and over again.

Elvis is Shen Weichen.

In this world, there is no Elvis at all—the young man he loves so deeply and has made love with him countless times in bed is just an illusion.

Tang Qiao hugged his head with trembling hands, and murmured, "I can't believe it."

There was a stabbing pain in Shen Weichen's heart. He knew that he had no way to look back, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you need me to provide a certificate of surgery?"

"Oh, no need." Tang Qiao chuckled a few times, then fell silent.

Shen Weichen breathed a sigh of relief, at least Tang Qiao accepted this fact more easily than he imagined. "Tang Qiao, are you okay?"

Tang Qiao looked calm on the surface. He took out a cigarette, but his trembling fingers couldn't even light it well.

Shen Weichen took the cigarette from his hand and lit it for him.Tang Qiao said thank you, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a white smoke ring. "So, it's all a hoax?"

Shen Weichen was speechless.

"Let me guess, you have been aware of my movements for the past three years, right? The first encounter in the bar was also deliberately created by you."

"That's right." Shen Weichen replied calmly.

Tang Qiao rubbed the hair on her forehead, "Where did you get so much money?" Seven million dollars was an astronomical figure for Shen Weichen back then.

"Shen Yan."

Tang Qiao closed his pupils, "You know everything?"

This time Shen Weichen became confused, "Know what?"

Tang Qiao observed Shen Weichen's expression, he seemed to really not know the relationship between Shen Yan and him.

"It's nothing." Tang Qiao's face was very pale, and he didn't even have the strength to move.

Shen Weichen didn't think much, and looked at Tang Qiao firmly, "Will you blame me? Blame me...I want you too much."

Tang Qiao closed his eyes, "Does it hurt?"

"what?"

"During the surgery."

Shen Weichen nodded, then shook his head again, "During those three years, sometimes I felt that it was good to be in pain like that."

Tang Qiao felt a throbbing pain in his heart, "Shen Weichen, you are too scary."

"Then do you still want me?" Shen Weichen grabbed Tang Qiao's chin and looked at him stubbornly. "You said that no matter what I did, you would never want me."

"That's right." Tang Qiao lowered his eyes, "But it was for Elvis, not Shen Weichen."

Shen Weichen pulled Tang Qiao into his arms and hugged him tightly, "I'm sorry."

Tang Qiao pushed Shen Weichen away wearily, but Shen Weichen hugged him even further, making it difficult for him to even breathe. "Let me think about it, you go first, just leave me here."

"Impossible." Shen Weichen said without thinking, "When I was young, I couldn't do anything except kneel down and beg you. I could only watch him leave. But this time, I will never let you leave me. disappeared from sight."

Tang Qiao said softly: "Shen Weichen, I need some time, don't force me."

Shen Weichen shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't leave you alone."

He knew what he was doing was irrational.Before this, he had clearly thought it over, no matter what Tang Qiao's reaction was, he couldn't be too anxious.

He was careful, step by step, and he was patient enough to wait for Tang Qiao to accept him.

But now, even facing Tang Qiao who was shaking, he couldn't restrain himself.He will never endure the pain of the first time again.

Shen Weichen let go of Tang Qiao and quickly started the car.

The white rose in front of the tombstone dropped a piece of white petals in the cold wind.
