I almost touched the moon

On the way home, Wen Song saw a middle-aged man with Asian appearance at the garage door. She recognized him as Cheng Che's driver, who Cheng Che always called "Uncle Jin".

Seeing her figure, Driver Jin immediately walked in front of her, smiled and bowed slightly, and said to her: "Hello, Miss Wen. The eldest master asked me to give this to you. He said the password is your birthday."

After saying that, he handed the briefcase in his hand to Wen Song.

Wen Song looked at the 10-inch password box and felt it was a little strange, but he still took it and said to driver Jin: "Thank you, you have worked hard."

Driver Jin saw that she had accepted the box and looked relaxed. He then asked, "Do you need me to help you carry it upstairs?"

"Thank you, but no thanks." Wen Song thanked him for his kindness. "Take care."

After returning home, Wen Song immediately opened the box and saw two jewelry boxes inside. She took out one of the jewelry boxes and the moment she opened it, she couldn't help but gasp when she saw the things in the box.

Inside the box was the priceless laurel leaf pink diamond necklace that Cheng Che had bought at the Sotheby's auction in New York five years ago.

She was just about to call Cheng Che and ask him to take the necklace back, but she saw a letter under the jewelry box.

Wen Song's heart was beating fast. She didn't understand why Cheng Che gave her the necklace today. She was even more afraid of what he would write in the letter. What would he write, a farewell? A blame? Or... a confession?

Thinking of this, she didn't dare to open the envelope, but checked another jewelry box first.

There was also a necklace inside. The pendant was a Saturn carved from yellow diamonds, and the star rings were paved with white diamonds. She had never seen this necklace in any jewelry brand or auction, and she instantly felt it was even stranger.

She closed the box and wondered in her heart if Cheng Che really had too much money to spend, so he gave her these two necklaces. She also thought that with her salary and allowances and bonuses, she probably wouldn't be able to buy one of them even if she didn't eat or drink for ten years. After thinking it over, she decided to borrow some money from Wen Yiheng and give the money for the necklace to Cheng Che.

However, Wen Song read the letter again and couldn't understand what Cheng Che wanted to do. She took a deep breath, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and finally unfolded the letter.

The moment she saw the title, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Praise, praise,

I hope I can still call you that now. How are you doing lately?

Since I met you again, I have always wanted to apologize to you and explain to you, but it seems that there is no chance. So, I can only write to you and hope that I will not disturb you.

Songsong, that pink diamond necklace belongs to you. Don't feel embarrassed, and don't return the necklace or give me money. It was originally a doctoral graduation gift I prepared for you. I never had the chance to give it to you before, but now it has finally returned to its original owner.

The other one is designed by me. Do you like it? I heard from Sister Xia that you returned to LMU as a professor and continued to study planetary science. I remember you told me that the formation of Saturn's rings was due to the fragments of countless small celestial bodies that broke through Saturn's Roche limit and disintegrated.

But even so, I still like Saturn very much. I once wanted to be your star ring. Even if I was broken into pieces, at least I could always be by your side. So, I designed this necklace to tell you that no matter what happens, I will always be with you. But I didn't expect that I would break my promise first. Sister, I'm sorry.

Now it seems that it is a very childish idea. I always do this, imposing everything on you and ignoring your feelings. After not getting the expected response, I will be disappointed and afraid, but I ignore everything you have done for me.

After we broke up, I was very confused. I wanted to come back to you, but I was angry and didn't want to. When I finally sorted out my thoughts and understood your love for me, I realized how much you loved me and that you really cared about me.

I heard a song by chance before, and there was a line in the song that went, "In my youth without flowers and red carpets, if it weren't for him, how would I have walked through obscurity?"

I will never forget that during those two years, you kept telling me to do what I wanted to do, encouraging me to keep skiing, and telling me that I would become an Olympic champion. You never asked me to do anything for you, you just wanted me to live for myself.

After the Winter Olympics ended last year, I suddenly missed you very much. I found that when I won the Olympic championship but you were not by my side, even the gold medal would be a regret.

In the past five years, I have been secretly following you and have never stopped missing you, but I dare not come back to find you. Because I found that it seems that you will live more easily and more freely without me by your side.

The original intention of coming to Munich this time was just to see with my own eyes how you are doing. I am also really looking forward to seeing what you will look like after becoming a professor.

You were exactly as I imagined you to be on the podium, confident and elegant, serious and brilliant in class. At that moment, I suddenly regretted not coming back to you earlier. You were doing well, but I couldn't let go even more.

Everything that happened later... Songsong, thank you for giving me this opportunity. At least I can be with you for a short while.

I know I have done a lot of wrong things in the past five years. If you are unwilling to forgive me or want to be a stranger to me, I understand and I fully respect you.

But, maybe it's a little strange, but I still want to tell you, I love you, I have never stopped loving you in the past five years. (I love you, and I have never stopped loving you in the past five years)

I will return to my country and live there for a while, and I will definitely not bother you again. Just like you said, even if we meet by chance, I will pretend not to know you.

I heard from Xuan that you are still very busy recently, busy with new research projects. Then I wish you all the best in your research and all the best in the future.

Cheng Che.

After reading the letter, Wen Song was already in tears. His tears dripped onto the letter paper, blurring the ink and making some words unclear.

She didn't want to escape any longer, so she immediately took out her cell phone and called Cheng Che.

Cheng Che answered the phone quickly, but the way he greeted her was somewhat distant, "Hallo, Professor Iseylia."

“Ache…” After the reunion, Wen Song almost never called him Ache. Occasionally, he would call him Cheng Che, or even Mr. Cheng.

When Cheng Che heard her address, he understood the general idea. He felt a little bitter, but also a little happy. "Song Song, did you receive everything?"

"Got it." Wen Song sighed softly and finally asked, "You want to go back to China?"

"Well, I'll go back and stay with my grandparents for about half a year." Cheng Che's tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

"Will you come back?" Wen Song couldn't help but continue asking him, but he was a little scared in his heart, afraid that he would say that he would never come back.

Fortunately, Cheng Che told her: "I will return to Zurich and will need to train there. But I will retire after the next Winter Olympics, and after that, I will probably return to live in China."

“Okay…” Wen Song didn’t say anything else, but buried her head in her knees and cried silently. She couldn’t be so selfish as to say to Cheng Che, I hope you stay in Germany or Switzerland with me.

"Songsong..." Wen Song heard Cheng Che sigh faintly, and then asked her, "Do you want me to come back?"

Wen Song was silent. Of course she hoped he would come back, but what right did she have to say such things now?

She said to Cheng Che: "I hope you can follow your heart and do what you want to do without considering me."

"I understand." Cheng Che smiled faintly, "You too."
