what is your vision

On the snack street in the university town, one shop is connected to the other, and it becomes more lively after nightfall.

The shadows of the people under the street lamps change in length and duration as their steps change, and sometimes completely blend into the silvery soft light.

Almost at the end of the road, Zhou Yanchuan, who had been silent all along, stopped in his tracks.Lu Yunchu was beside him, not more than half a meter away.

He remembered that they had been trying to find a place to have dinner, and had been distracted along the way, not paying attention to a suitable place to eat.

"Here it is," Lu Yunchu pointed to the small shop in front of him, "Crock pot soup, can you?"

Zhou Yanchuan raised his head and glanced slightly: "Okay."

The space here is not big, and there are not many people coming here, and there is an empty table next to the stairs.The other tables were full of students, playing and laughing in groups of three or four, making their place too quiet.

"That child's mother..." Lu Yunchu's thoughts gradually returned, and he asked Zhou Yanchuan's gaze, "Is it someone you know?"

At McDonald's just now, Zhou Yanchuan didn't explain too much to Liu Qingru, and simply explained the matter of meeting her daughter, as if it was a random strange woman who might meet on the road.

But Liu Qingru was not in the mood at all, she called Zhou Yanchuan's name with a look of shock, Zhou Yanchuan said to her: "It's too late, take the child home early."

She leaned against the door again until the girl grabbed her clothes and asked, "Mom, aren't we going home?"

She lowered her head in frustration, took her daughter's hand, opened the door and left.The girl turned her head and waved to them: "Goodbye, uncle!"

Lu Yunchu saw that the woman hesitated to speak, and guessed what kind of past she had with Zhou Yanchuan.It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that he didn't think of the right wording at first.

"Well," Lu Yunchu asked at the same time that Zhou Yanchuan had just finished typing up the manuscript, "She is someone I dated before."

Lu Yunchu had read the gossip and heard him mention it, so he was a little mentally prepared.

"You used to be good, right?" The woman still had nostalgia in her eyes, maybe she remembered the past.

"It used to be pretty good."

Four young men came in at the door, pushing and shoving each other. When they entered, they saw that there was no seat on the first floor. They rushed up the stairs, and the sound of their footsteps almost drowned out Zhou Yanchuan's voice.

In the past, he was about the same age as these students. Although he did not go to college, he still had the same drive to ignore it. His voice was brighter than now, his steps were bigger than now, and he was always in a hurry to do anything.

There is also a love that I thought could last forever.

"In the past, the two of us actually—"

Following his paused voice, Lu Yunchu looked back: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to tell me."

"There's nothing you can't say." On the contrary, he was willing to confide, even if he said it in a few words. "We were planning to get married. Her father was sick and had no money for surgery. Her husband helped her."

Severed feelings are not food, which can be eaten after being taken out of the freezer for a period of time; it is burnt incense ash, which has dissipated into slag after years of wind and frost.

At least for Zhou Yanchuan.

But as a listener, Lu Yunchu developed excessive empathy.If possible, he would like to travel back to ten years ago and hug Zhou Yanchuan at that time.

"Were you—difficult?"

"It's okay, I'm too busy with work, so I don't have time to be sad about this," Zhou Yanchuan sighed, "She is a kind-hearted girl, but the man who chased her for a long time didn't agree, and kept saying that he had a boyfriend. It was because I couldn't bear such a heavy favor that I changed my mind."

Lu Yunchu ordered corn pork ribs soup, and Zhou Yanchuan ordered soybean and pig's feet soup.Two small cans were brought to the table at the same time, and the lids were lifted, and one could tell from the steam rising from them that they were still very hot.

"I don't blame her." Zhou Yanchuan didn't rush to drink the soup, and continued, "In the past, I am not afraid of your jokes. My biggest wish is to have a stable job, earn a little money, have a small family, and live happily ever after. Old, it's very simple, so... I don't quite understand, there are so many ordinary people, and they can live peacefully for the rest of their lives, so why did I encounter this... Maybe it's fate."

He didn't say these things in front of others, he felt too tired and crooked, and he was a little surprised when he confessed the whole thing today.

Aware of the straightforwardness of the words, Zhou Yanchuan blushed suddenly: "Did I talk too much?"

"No," Lu Yunchu's eyelids drooped slightly, "Now, will you regret it?"

Or, will you go back?

When he took the meal at McDonald's, he heard the conversation between the two. The girl said that her father and mother were divorced.

"No regrets," Zhou Yanchuan read other inquiries from his eyes, and quickly added, "Even if she is divorced now, it is impossible for us."

It was only today that he realized that Liu Qingru didn't mention her husband last time because they divorced.

Of course, he wouldn't presumptuously think that the failure of the other party's marriage had something to do with him. To take a step back, even if it was really related, it was a problem between their husband and wife.Looking at himself alone, he is purely an outsider.

Lu Yunchu's heart hadn't had time to cause a big shock, so he suppressed the waves because of his answer, and then heard him emphasize it again: "Really, I don't want to go back."

Lu Yunchu said jokingly: "I know, I'm not your current girlfriend, so don't emphasize it like this."

"Female...cough—" Zhou Yanchuan finally came to his senses, he was so eager to add extra words, it was too much like the state of mind when explaining his predecessor to the present.

He seemed to be really afraid that Lu Yunchu would misunderstand his thoughts, but when he noticed the other person's expression, he suddenly felt a little teased, with a trace of resentment mixed with shame: "Stop laughing."

The light shone brightly, and Lu Yunchu's eyes seemed to be rippling.He slowly withdrew the smile on his lips, but still secretly tasted the ambiguous taste that only he understood.

"Okay, stop laughing," he hoped that these unhappy memories of Zhou Yanchuan would end here, "let's eat."

There were a few more home-cooked dishes on the table, and the temperature of the soup had also dropped. Lu Yunchu scooped up a spoonful, lowered his head and leaned towards it, his mouth was still a little hot, but the strong sweet aroma of corn remained on the root of his tongue.

The Lantern Festival party was led by Mo Ziyang and the following managers.

In December last year, Zhou Yanchuan was unable to attend the group's annual meeting due to a broken arm. Everyone felt sorry.Although it was only a small-scale dinner party this time, and they couldn't make it to the annual meeting, they also put a lot of thought into it.

The location is set in "Haicheng", located in the park, with excellent environment and view.Hongchuan has covered the lobby on the second floor, with three glass walls, where you can see a large green space not far away, and there are tourists feeding pigeons in twos and threes.

Zhou Yanchuan was the protagonist of the party, and he was no stranger to anyone present. He and Lu Yunchu came together, and when he arrived, he was pulled over by a well-connected client to chat.

He was afraid that Lu Yunchu would not get used to it, so he subconsciously searched for his companion while talking to people.

Within sight, Lu Yunchu stood with his back against the glass wall, and Chen Mingxuan was talking to him next to him.
