I understood what Aunt Mei means and smiled, "No, Aunt Mei, I'm not that fragile, I'm just away for a while."

Aunt Mei was still a little worried, "Qin Zheng, no matter what, you must not be unwilling to think about it. Everything can be passed. Look at me, how hard I have lived in this life, isn't this coming too?"

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm really not overwhelmed. I just left for a while. I can't tell you the reason now. After a while, I will tell you."

"Then where are you... planning to go?" Aunt Mei asked.

"I don't know yet." I smiled, "I will tell you then."

Aunt Mei nodded and sighed, "It's good, go out and relax. Qin Zheng, I have never seen you look so haggard..."

I smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

Aunt Mei looked at me and said with some emotion, "Time flies so fast. Now sitting in a cafe like this, I can always remember the scene we encountered that year. Look at the sunshine outside, it looks like that time."

I looked out the window, the afternoon sun fell like dust, the crowd was leisurely, everything was quiet and beautiful.

That afternoon couldn't help but appear before my eyes. Lu Yating and I went on a blind date and met Aunt Mei in that cafe.

That day, I hurriedly evaded Lu Yating, and then chased Aunt Mei out, wanting to ask her for a contact information, but I fell down in front of everyone on the street.

These scenes are still clearly in front of me, as if in just a blink of an eye, they feel like a different life.

At that time, the three of us who suddenly had intersections probably never expected that fate would arrange such a dramatic process and ending for us.

Before we knew it, too many things have happened to the three of us, and we have changed ourselves long ago and are no longer the same as we were before.

Aunt Mei is no longer the woman who is worried about life and paying off her debts. I am no longer the boy who is confused and doing ridiculous things for a dream ten years ago. Lu Yating is no longer the light and elegant girl who is ignorant of the world.

Time and life have changed a lot of things without realizing it.

When we suddenly remembered these things, we didn’t say anything, and suddenly the atmosphere became a little sad.

I didn't want to be immersed in such an atmosphere, so I changed the subject and asked, "Is the little jelly okay?"

Aunt Mei nodded, "It's great. Since I came back, she has been very happy every day. Now her personality has become much cheerful. She has been thinking about your godfather."

I smiled, "It's shameful to say that my godfather is really not competent enough. I originally thought I had to take good care of her, but I was always busy and couldn't get away."

Aunt Mei smiled and said, "It's okay, you're busy. She didn't blame you. She has always liked you. You bought her so many fun toys and told her stories. She really likes you very much, more than her uncle."

I smiled, "When I come back, I will have time to spend more time with her, just because I am afraid that she has grown up and I don't remember my godfather."

Aunt Mei was stunned, "You... are you planning to leave for a long time?"

"Maybe it is, it's hard to say it now." I said.

Aunt Mei sighed and said, "Qin Zheng, if you need anything, I will help you. Even if I tell me. Although I know that you have always been helping me, I may not be able to help you."

"It's okay, I've arranged everything else and I don't need any help." I said.

Aunt Mei nodded silently.

Once again we fell into silence, and none of us spoke.

"Qin Zheng." Aunt Mei suddenly called me.

"Um?"

Aunt Mei looked at me, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong?" I asked, "Just say anything."

Aunt Mei nodded and said, "Qin Zheng, there is something I have always wanted to tell you. Now, I will tell you. I'm afraid... If you don't say it today, you will never have the chance to say it again..."

I was stunned.

Before Aunt Mei could speak, her eyes turned red first. She was silent, hesitating, thinking, and brewing...

Finally, she seemed to have gathered up the courage and said, "Qin Zheng, you wanted to be with me so enthusiastically, but I always refused and dodged. You also know the reason. I have little strawberries, and I am also afraid of worldly vision, afraid that your parents will disagree, afraid... I have too many concerns, and my heart is filled with these concerns. Until we ended abruptly, I was in a state of worrying about gains and losses. That relationship just passed in a hurry, but I have always forgotten to say a few words to you..."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"The first sentence is..." She looked at me, "I'm sorry, I failed you at the beginning."

I was stunned and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, isn't this already here?"

"The second sentence is the answer you have always wanted to hear and get, but I have never answered you positively. Now I want to tell you... Qin Zheng, I once loved you very much..."

After saying that, Aunt Mei could no longer control herself, her expression became spasm and she burst into tears.

My heart suddenly shook, and I looked at her, confused, and my heart was mixed for a moment.

This... was something I dreamed of hearing many times. It was once so close to me and so far away from me. I once thought that I would never hear it.

But I never thought that I could hear it, but at this time, there were so many things and so many moods...

Aunt Mei cried uncontrollably and her whole body trembled violently.

But I didn't cry.

At that moment, I didn’t know if I should be relieved by myself. After all, this was a perfect end to a dream I had been doing for so many years.

I don’t know if I should regret it for us. After all, we were indeed so close. If I had planned to confess to Lu Yating that day, there would be no sudden car accident, maybe at this moment, Aunt Mei and I were already together...

I laughed and murmured, "Thank you, Aunt Mei, I'm leaving..."

Aunt Mei cried, I stood up, patted Aunt Mei on the shoulder, and then walked out in a daze.

It was sunny outside, and everything seemed like that afternoon that day...

I looked up at the warm and dazzling sunshine, and my heart suddenly became calm. I thought, maybe every story, no matter what, will end.

And now, the story between Lu Yating and I has officially begun. We want to put a happy, perfect, and regret-free end to our story together...
