In the dimly lit room, the lights were not turned on, and the drawn curtains blocked the natural light from outside. The room was so dark that it was hard to breathe.

Chen Junxiang knocked on the door outside and shouted: "Zhang Li! I know you are here!"

He couldn't get through to Bai Yi's mobile phone, no matter how he called, the other side told him that it was an empty number, and he also went to Zhang Li's company, but he had never seen either Bai Yi or Zhang Li. In desperation, he He could only come here, he just wanted to know if Bai Yi was safe and if he was doing well.

After an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened.

The person who opened the door was in the dark, and the light from the corridor hit his face, causing Chen Junxiang to take a step back involuntarily.

Zhang Li's eyes were red, his chin was full of stubble, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were filled with extreme indifference and pain.

He looked at Chen Junxiang and said in a flat tone, "What are you doing here?"

After being extremely surprised, Chen Junxiang quickly regained his senses, remembered the purpose of his trip, and said quickly: "I'm looking for Brother Bai, has his mobile phone number been canceled? What about others? You are here, he can't be there, I have to see him, and when I see he's doing well, I'm leaving."

Zhang Li didn't move, his tone was still flat: "He's gone."

Chen Junxiang: "Let's go? Where did you go? Don't be kidding! Brother Bai has been looking for you for five years! How can you just leave!"

Chen Junxiang became excited, he was only 1.7 meters tall, he looked very petite in front of Zhang Li, he had to look up at Zhang Li.

"Brother Bai gave up everything he had worked so hard to follow you, it is impossible to leave easily, what have you done?!"

Zhang Li didn't answer him, and Chen Junxiang was furious. In his opinion, Bai Yi was not someone who would leave without telling him. If there was a mistake, it must be Zhang Li's fault.

Zhang Li suddenly spoke, his calmness made people frightened, like the eve of a storm: "Has he contacted Brother Huo?"

Chen Junxiang: "If Brother Bai contacted Brother Huo, would I still come here to look for you?"

After saying this, Zhang Li closed the door.

Chen Junxiang slammed on the anti-theft door frantically, swearing and swearing, but there was no echo from inside.

There seemed to be a dead silence.

In the dark room, Zhang Li was sitting on the sofa. He always felt that the smell and smell of Boyi still remained in this room, and the imprint of the past still remained. would come out of the kitchen, laughing at how he could take a joke seriously.

Zhang Li held the piece of paper glued together with tape, and after tearing up the paper, he collaged it together again. Although the paper was light and fluffy, it was unbelievably heavy.

He felt that Bai Yi was punishing him, punishing him for leaving without saying goodbye for five years.

Zhang Li grabbed his hair with both hands, and he took a deep breath, panting urgently and hard.

The carpet under the coffee table was stained with dark stains.

When the subordinates broke through the door, what they saw was not the scene they expected.

The whole room was brightly lit and everything was neat and clean. Zhang Li was sitting on the sofa watching a movie. When he saw his subordinates barging in, he even smiled at them.

No one knows what happened to Zhang Li.

He looks changed, for the better.

But only these subordinates who have been following Zhang Li know that he has not changed, he is crazy.

He was calmly mad.

He often smiles, and the angle and curvature of his smile are very similar to Bai Yi. He has also learned to smoke, and the posture of holding the cigarette is the same as that of Bai Yi.

And he firmly believed that if he was willing to wait, Bai Yi would come back.

He has been away for five years, so Boyi will be back in five years.

But he never gave up looking for Bai Yi. He spent a lot of money and time, but couldn't find any clues. It was as if Bai Yi had evaporated from the world, leaving no trace.

It wasn't until after he disappeared that they realized that no one knew where Bai Yi's hometown was, and no one knew his family. He suddenly came to Zhang Li's side and then left suddenly.

Like a sudden gust of wind, it came unreasonably and left unreasonably.

Time passed year by year, Zhang Li waited year after year.

He waited for a year for spring and autumn, and for the seasons of the year.

He didn't move out of the house, no matter what his wealth was, he still lived in that cramped little house.

He didn't stop earning money either. In order to give Bai Yi better living conditions when he came back, Zhang Li worked hard while looking for Bai Yi.

At the end of the first five years, Zhang Li was 27 years old.

At the end of the second five years, Zhang Li was 32 years old.

When Li Zhinian was established, many people were asking him why he was not married and whether he had a partner.

At this time, he would always smile and say with happiness in his eyes: "Yes, I will get married when he comes back."

Later, people stopped asking.

Because the lover Zhang Li talked about had never appeared before.

Sometimes when Zhang Li was walking on the street, he would suddenly become excited as if struck by lightning. He would run after a figure for two streets, and finally leave in despair.

Every year on August [-]th, Zhang Li would disappear, neither answering the phone nor replying to messages.

Some people think it's his birthday, some people think it's a day when he has regular activities.

Only Chen Junxiang knew that August [-]th was the day Bai Yi disappeared.

On this day, Zhang Li would go to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers, clean up the house, and rearrange the decorations. He also raised a tortoise. The tortoise always swims slowly in the water tank. Standing motionless, it probably doesn't know who its owner is, or why it was bought here.

Zhang Li will wait from dawn until dark, until the end of the day.

At the end of the third five years, Zhang Li finally realized that Bai Yi would not come back.

The note was well preserved, so good that he could still read the four words written on it.

Zhang Li was just 40 years old this year, and he suddenly felt that everything was boring. If Bai Yi never came back, what was the point of all his efforts?

So Zhang Li sold the shares and left the company. He remembered the island that Boyi wanted to go to. They had booked a ticket, but they didn't make the trip.

Zhang Li went to the island alone, and he still booked a honeymoon villa. The 40-year-old Zhang Li has a more different temperament, and the foreign atmosphere is open. Since he set foot on the island, he has never stopped being approached by men and women.

But he still walks alone, he will sit by the sea and look at the sea, and he will recall Boyi's yearning when he mentioned the island.

But as time passed, the memory turned yellow like old photos, some words could no longer be remembered clearly, and Bai Yi's expression became blurred.

When Zhang Li was 50 years old, he realized that he could no longer remember Bai Yi's appearance.

He only remembered the last words Bai Yi said to him.

"come back earlier."

Is he going back late?If he didn't go out that day, or went home early, wouldn't Bai Yi not leave?

Zhang Li disappeared, and no one knew where he was, just like Bai Yi, who suddenly disappeared from this world and could never be found.

Only the house remains.

Chen Junxiang would occasionally visit that community.

The former high-end community has become an old community, and the originally beautiful and exquisite buildings have become old and outdated.

Chen Junxiang would stand at the bottom of that building and look up. He used to always feel that it was Zhang Li who forced Bai Yi to go away. It was Zhang Li who did something wrong to Bai Yi, which made such a gentle Bai Yi leave cruelly. Of.

But after so many years, he saw everything in his eyes. He believed that Zhang Li loved Bai Yi deeply, and Zhang Li had waited for Bai Yi for 28 years, nearly 30 years.

Not a few years, more than ten years, but close to 30 years.

How many people are 30 years old?

30 years is equivalent to half a lifetime.

To this day, only he and Zhang Li still remember Bai Yi.

Brother Huo passed away two years ago. He suffered from cancer and was finally relieved after years of lingering illness.

Those old people in the past only remembered one name for Bai Yi.

Chen Junxiang thought about countless possibilities, maybe it was because of Bai Yi's terminal illness, or maybe it was because of an accident.

But Bai Yi never appeared again, and his guess had no chance of being confirmed.

He had given up searching a long time ago, only Zhang Li persisted.

He has an intuition that Bai Yi may have left this world long ago, and Zhang Li probably has gone with him.

Before disappearing, Zhang Li donated all his assets and only kept this house.

To Zhang Li, this house is not just a house.

This is Zhang Li's home, a collection of Zhang Li's dreams and nightmares, and an inseparable part of Zhang Li's life.

Just like Boyi.

It is rooted in his blood, cannot be discarded, cannot be forgotten.

Chen Junxiang left the community and returned to his home. He was married a long time ago. He has a son and a daughter. His wife is gentle and considerate. After meeting his wife, he realized that his feelings for Bai Yi had nothing to do with love. Said to be the guide, the mountain towering behind him, the existence like a parent.

He has been with his wife for decades, and when he gets older, he also starts nagging, telling his wife about his youth.

After a long time, even his wife knew the story of Zhang Li and Bai Yi.

After drinking some wine, he asked his wife, "Where do you think Brother Li will go?"

His wife's face was covered with traces of time, but in Chen Junxiang's eyes she was still as beautiful as when she first met her. She replied, "Let's go to Brother Bai."

Chen Junxiang murmured, "Where can I find it?"

The wife said softly, "If he doesn't look for it, how will he survive?"

"Perhaps for him, waiting and searching are also a kind of happiness."

"As long as you are still looking, there is still hope."

Chen Junxiang suddenly wiped the corner of his eyes.

He remembered what Zhang Li had done these years, and suddenly realized that Zhang Li seemed to be trapped 28 years ago in his whole life.

He never moved on from that day.

Perhaps for Zhang Li, his life was paused on August 28, [-] years ago.

Bai Yi waited for him for five years.

He spent his whole life waiting for Bai Yi.

From youth to youth, from youth to middle age, and from middle age to old age.

He dedicated his life to his love.
