love you, in time

In 2026, I am 25 years old, and it is also the third year that Yan Qing has been abroad.

This year, I watched the calendar being torn off one after another. We ushered in the New Year's Day in 2027, but I still couldn't wait for Yan Qing.

After graduating from University A, I returned to the company at home. While working as a design director, I worked as an ordinary interior designer. The work gradually stabilized and I had my own house and car.

But...the one I've been waiting for didn't arrive.

On the night of New Year's Day, I went home, and my parents were very happy to see me. The atmosphere of a rare family reunion was warm and cozy.

After drinking for three rounds, my parents chatted with me about their future plans.

"Hee Hee, it's not your parents who are urging you. You said that if you want to get married, you can have a relationship anyway." At the dinner table, my mother drank the wine, and grabbed my hand with a flushed face and babbled, "I see Didn’t you like Xiaoqing a lot when you were in high school, if you haven’t caught up with him, you still have someone else you like.”

The person in the restricted area was mentioned inadvertently, and my hand holding the chopsticks tightened for a moment, and then I let go and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I like her, but your daughter is incapable, so I can't keep her."

"Hey, Mom and Dad don't ask for anything else in this life. The only wish is to ask you to be safe, happy, smooth, and worry-free in this life."

Peace and joy, smooth and worry-free

The eight words are so familiar, because this is the wish I have asked for Yan Qing since my 16th birthday, and it will be ten years until last October.

Time flies so fast, Yan Qing's figure appeared in front of his eyes, but it was only 16-year-old Yan Qing.Seeing her walking towards me slowly, she stretched out her hand towards me. I subconsciously raised my hand to hold it, and a familiar voice seemed to ring in my ears:

"You like following me so much?"

"I'm not chasing you, just walk and watch the road"

"Fuxi, extracurricular activities, do you... want to follow?"

All the scenes of the past emerged in front of my eyes, and my eyes were gradually covered with fog, and my vision began to become blurred.

'Bang' fireworks were everywhere outside, and the gorgeous fireworks dyed the dark night sky with color, but I didn't feel happy at the moment, but felt a little sad.

Just like between us, I have experienced a lot of good and sweet things with Yan Qing, so I can't adapt to the fact that she is not around, I always trick myself into living in the memories and refuse to come out.

Even... the three-year period I unilaterally agreed on has passed.

Facing the fireworks outside the window, I put my palms together and made a pious wish on the first day of the new year:

May the girl on my apex shine brightly in her field, and that the rest of her life will be safe, joyful, smooth and worry-free.

'Bang' seemed to be responding to my wish, a new round of fireworks outside the window lifted into the sky, blooming dazzling and colorful flowers.

Busy going on with my life, the name Yan Qing appears less and less in the mouths of friends around me. Although they are a little puzzled, they keep silent and I will naturally not mention it.

In February of 2027, Lan An and Yang Yu's child was born. She was a cute little girl, pink and lovable.So as a group of relatives and friends, we almost only did one thing in that month, which was to name the baby.To be honest, we looked at each other in blank dismay, more or less helpless...

After all, two teachers can't come up with a good name together, let alone those of us who haven't experienced this yet?

But in the end, it was Yang Yu who made the decision and named the child Yang Yu'an, which sounds good and also has deep meaning.

After the big name was settled, Lan An and Yang Yu began to quarrel with each other because of the nickname.Cough cough, it's the kind of noise that finally rolled on the bed.It is said that the baby’s nickname should be An’an according to the previous nickname method, but Lan Yu thought that the baby was here to steal her favor, so Yang Yu didn’t know how long it took her to coax her. good.So in the end, I simply called him baby directly, which is really sloppy.

One day in May 2027, while I was sitting in the office in a daze, I suddenly received a WeChat message. I stared blankly at the familiar profile picture flashing on it.

I'm afraid this is just a dream I imagined, and everything will be back to normal after I wake up from the dream.

I am afraid that after I click on it, I will find that there is just an insignificant stranger behind the avatar, wearing the same avatar to weave a dream that never existed.

"Hee Hee, I think... I can give you the answer"

Clicking on the chat box that I haven't opened in the past three years, there is only such a simple line of words on it.

Subconsciously checked her circle of friends, quietly, there was only one photo at the top of the list, with only the white hand holding a plane ticket on it.

Click on the photo to enlarge it, a silver light on the wrist attracted my attention, and the familiar moon pattern made my heart stop for a beat.

Yan Qing...has she always brought it with her?

Like me, never leave your body for a moment?

Does that prove that Yan Qing is also thinking of me?

He grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and the car keys on the table, ran downstairs and started the car in the direction of the airport regardless of the assistant shouting behind him.

An hour and a half later, I showed up at City A International Airport.Standing at the only exit where she might appear, I saw the sea of ​​people in front of me, and I didn't have much expectation in my heart, but I was a little apprehensive.

Will she come back?

The answer, will it be what I want?

It's been ten years, and if....... then what am I going to do?

Ah Yan, I'm going to wait for you...right?

Ayan, my wish for many years is about to be answered, right?
