On a hot afternoon in July 1992, 25-year-old Wang Xu stepped on the train back to his hometown. He was dressed in a crisp military uniform with a smile on his face that he hadn't seen in a long time. The three-year military career has made him more mature and stable, but the longing for his hometown and his lover has always haunted his heart.
Wang Xu looked at the scenery flying by outside the window, and couldn't help but recall the separation between him and his girlfriend Liu Xin three years ago. At that time, they were still ignorant high school graduates, and they reluctantly said goodbye at the train station. Liu Xin said with red eyes: "Brother Xu, I will wait for you to come back." Wang Xu replied firmly: "Liu Xin, I will marry you when I retire from the army." "
For three years, Wang Xu and Liu Xin kept in touch through letters. Every time he received a letter from Liu Xin, Wang Xu would read it repeatedly, as if he could feel her tenderness between the lines. However, in the past six months, Liu Xin's letters have become less and less, and her tone has become a little detached. Although Wang Xu felt a little uneasy, he always believed that their relationship could stand the test.
On the night he returned to his hometown, Wang Xu didn't care about resting, so he went straight to Liu Xin's house. His heart was beating hard, expectant and nervous. When he knocked on the door of Liu Xin's house, he saw a slightly unfamiliar Liu Xin. Her hair is cut short, she wears a fashionable dress, and her whole person exudes an urban feminine temperament.
"Brother Xu, you're back." Liu Xin's tone was flat, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes. She handed Wang Xu an envelope, "This is for you." "
Wang Xu opened the envelope suspiciously, and inside was a group photo that had been cut in half. It was taken when they graduated from high school, and the two were smiling brightly. Seeing this mutilated photo, Wang Xu's heart sank suddenly.
"Liu Xin, what does this mean?" Wang Xu tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
Liu Xin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wang Xu, in the past three years, we have all changed. I went to college and saw the wider world. And you... You're stuck in the past. I'm not sure if we're still fit together. "
Wang Xu felt that the world was spinning, and he couldn't believe his ears. "Shin Shin, are you kidding me? Didn't we say we were going to go on together? "
Liu Xin avoided Wang Xu's gaze and said softly, "I'm sorry, Wang Xu." Maybe we all need time to think about it. "
Wang Xu left Liu Xin's house in despair and wandered aimlessly through the streets. Before he knew it, he had come to the old teahouse he used to go to in high school. The moment he pushed the door open, he saw a familiar figure.
"Brother Xu? It's really you! Wang Ting stood up in surprise, with a sincere smile on her face.
Wang Xu barely squeezed out a smile: "Tingting, long time no see." "
Seeing Wang Xu's strange appearance, Wang Ting asked with concern, "Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?" It doesn't look good. "
Wang Xu was speechless for a while, and tears rolled in his eyes. Wang Ting gently took his hand and said gently, "It's okay, Brother Xu." Come, sit down and talk about it. "
In this way, in the familiar old teahouse, Wang Xu confided his confusion and pain to Wang Ting. The night was getting deeper, but the conversation between the two seemed to have no end.
The next morning, sunlight poured into Wang Xu's room through the gauze curtains. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the long conversation with Wang Ting last night was still echoing in his mind. He looked at his phone and found a message from Wang Ting: "Brother Xu, do you want to go to the teahouse to talk again today?" "
Wang Xu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Okay, Tingting." See you in the old place. "
The two sat down in the familiar old teahouse, and the fragrance of tea overflowed. Wang Ting smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you look much better." "
Wang Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Maybe." Tingting, thank you for listening to me last night. "
Wang Ting said gently: "Brother Xu, we are friends." Do you have any ideas? "
Wang Xu sighed: "I still don't understand why Xinxin became like this. Didn't we say we were going to go on together? "
Wang Ting gently held Wang Xu's hand and comforted: "Brother Xu, maybe you all need time to get used to it." A lot has changed in the past three years. "
At this moment, Liu Xin happened to pass by the door of the teahouse. When she saw Wang Xu and Wang Ting's intimacy, her face instantly turned pale. Wang Xu noticed Liu Xin's figure and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but hesitated.
Liu Xin left quickly, and Wang Xu sat there, still holding Wang Ting's in his hand. Wang Ting noticed the change in the atmosphere and asked softly, "Brother Xu, what's wrong?" "
Wang Xu came back to his senses and let go of his hand embarrassedly: "It's nothing, I seem to have seen Xinxin." "
Wang Ting was also a little uneasy: "Really? That... Would you like to explain? "
Wang Xu shook his head: "Forget it, it's not appropriate to say anything now." "
In the following days, the news of Wang Xu and Wang Ting meeting in the teahouse spread in the town like wings. Neighbors talked a lot, some said that Wang Xu changed his mind too quickly, and some sympathized with his betrayal.
One day, Wang Xu met his high school classmate Li Ming on the street. Li Ming patted him on the shoulder and teased, "Brother Xu, I didn't expect you to find a new partner so quickly!" "
Wang Xu frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Tingting is just a friend." "
Li Ming smiled and shook his head: "Come on, the whole town knows that you soak in the teahouse every day." But then again, you don't have to feel guilty about Liu Xin treating you like that. "
Wang Xu listened to these words, and his heart was mixed. He began to realize that he had to deal not only with emotional troubles, but also with the complex public opinion environment in the town.
Back home, Wang Xu sat at his desk and looked through his diary and photos when he was in the army. He suddenly realized that in the past three years, he had indeed lost touch with the rapidly developing society. Liu Xin is right, they have all changed.
Wang Xu is determined to work hard to adapt to his new life. He began to learn computer skills, read the news on current affairs, and even signed up for a vocational skills training course. Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask Wang Ting for advice.
Wang Ting always patiently answered Wang Xu's questions, and sometimes took him around the city to let him understand the changes in society in the past three years. She said: "Brother Xu, the discipline and perseverance you learned in the army are actually very valuable. You just need to use these benefits in your new environment. "
Gradually, Wang Xu began to regain his self-confidence. He did well in the training courses and received several job offers. Every time he makes progress, he will tell Wang Ting as soon as possible.
One night, Wang Xu and Wang Ting chatted in the teahouse again. Wang Ting smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you have changed a lot recently. I'm so proud of you. "
Wang Xu looked at Wang Ting's bright smile, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart. He whispered, "Tingting, it's all because of your help." Thank you. "
Wang Ting blushed slightly, lowered her head and stirred the teacup: "Brother Xu, you are too polite." We're friends. "
At this moment, Wang Xu's mobile phone rang. It was a message from Liu Xin: "Wang Xu, can we meet and talk?" "
Wang Xu looked at the screen of his mobile phone and didn't know how to reply for a while. He looked up at Wang Ting, then looked down at the news, and fell into a deep contradiction. He realized that his heart had changed unconsciously, but for Liu Xin, he still had an indescribable feeling.
Wang Xu stood under the cherry blossom trees in the park, rubbing his hands nervously. A month later, he still decided to reply to Liu Xin's message and ask her to meet. In the distance, a familiar figure gradually approached, it was Liu Xin.
"Wang Xu." Liu Xin greeted softly, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.
"Shin Shin, long time no see." Wang Xu tried to stay calm, "How are you doing lately?" "
Liu Xin nodded, and then was silent for a while. Finally, she spoke: "Wang Xu, I want to talk to you." All this time, I've been thinking about us. "
Wang Xu took a deep breath: "Me too." Shin Shin, why did we become like this? "
Liu Xin leaned against the cherry blossom tree and whispered, "Wang Xu, I admit that I was too impulsive at that time. I was just... Fear that you will not be able to adapt to the current society. You know, it's changed so much in the last three years. "
Wang Xu smiled bitterly: "I understand your concerns, but Xinxin, have you ever thought about giving me a chance?" "
Liu Xin lowered his head: "I know I hurt you, I'm sorry." But Wang Xu, I see you and Wang Ting..."
Wang Xu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to explain. At this moment, Wang Ting happened to walk through the path of the park. When she saw Wang Xu and Liu Xin together, she couldn't help but slow down.
Wang Xu noticed Wang Ting and was at a loss for a while. Liu Xin followed Wang Xu's gaze, and his face changed slightly.
Wang Ting hesitated, but still walked over. "Brother Xu, Liu Xin, hello." She struggled to keep smiling.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward. The three of them stood under the cherry blossom trees, and none of them knew what to say.
In the end, it was Wang Ting who broke the silence. She took a deep breath and said, "I... I understand the special relationship between you. I'm sorry if my presence caused any misunderstanding. Maybe... I should quit. "
When Wang Xu heard this, his heart suddenly panicked. He looked at the two girls in front of him, who were both very important to him, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Liu Xin saw Wang Xu's hesitation and sighed softly. "Wang Xu, maybe we all need time to think about it." With that, she turned and left.
Wang Ting patted Wang Xu's shoulder comfortingly, and said softly: "Brother Xu, no matter what choice you make, I will support you." With that, she turned and left.
Wang Xu stood in place, watching the backs of the two girls drifting apart. The cherry blossom petals fell in the wind, and his mood was as chaotic as the flying petals.
He recalled everything that had happened in the past month or so: Liu Xin's estrangement, Wang Ting's support, his own growth and changes. He realized that he really needed time to clear his mind and make a final decision.
As the sun set, Wang Xu slowly walked out of the park. He doesn't know what the future holds, but he understands that whoever he chooses means giving up something. This decision is not only about himself, but also affects the lives of Liu Xin and Wang Ting.
Walking to the gate of the park, Wang Xu glanced back at the cherry blossom tree. The petals were still falling, but his heart was gradually calming. He knew that no matter what the outcome was, the experience would be an important lesson in his life.
With mixed feelings, Wang Xu embarked on the way home. As night fell, the street lights lit up one after another, illuminating his path and his uncertain future.
