The story of the boss after retirement

Gao Yu was adopted by his aunt's family because his parents died. At that time, he packed his daily necessities and brought them to his aunt's house. When Zhou Jing was renovating her house, she found a locked box in her cousin's room. Zhou Jing did not pry into her cousin's privacy, but directly delivered the box to Gao Yu.

Gao Yu looked at the locked box with a complicated expression, but he quickly hid that emotion and took the box as if he didn't notice it. Then he had a brief chat with Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing was tired from the flight and went back to the room to rest. Gao Yu also pushed the wheelchair back to the room.

Back in the room, Gao Yu stared at the box in a daze. This was a birthday gift from his mother. At that time, he could put his favorite things in it. They must have loved him very much at that time. This box was a rechargeable electronic lock password box. It cost a lot of money at the time, but after his birthday, everyone changed.

They quarreled all day long, threw things, and his father strangled the rabbit to death. His mother held him and cried. Then they packed their luggage in a panic. Then, he never saw his parents again. The last time they saw each other was at the funeral home.

His aunt never said anything bad about his parents. Gao Yu himself heard countless versions of the story from his relatives, saying that his father and mother had cheated on him and that they had a big fight. They had a car accident on the way to a divorce. He seemed unable to cry at that time and had lost the ability to cry. He was always very well behaved at his aunt's house, but his aunt would always look at him with pity from time to time.

Occasionally, when relatives discuss behind their backs, they would say that it is a pity for the two of them. If nothing had happened, their son would have become successful now and must be living a very good life. One relative said that since the two of them had been in such a mess at that time, they probably didn't want their son anymore, otherwise why would they have left him at their sister's house? It was only because her sister was kind-hearted, otherwise she would have sent him to an orphanage. As sisters, of course they would help take care of him. Don't take it for granted, as even younger brothers have been sent to orphanages.

Gao Yu knew that his aunt's family were all very nice, but the pitying looks always made him feel pitiful. Because he was good-looking and good at studying, Gao Yu had always been a leader since he was a child. Many girls had a crush on him, and he had always been the school idol. However, he had never been in a relationship, and love was the most useless thing.

Love will change, it will turn from warm moonlight into hateful gazes. Cinderella marrying the prince is not a perfect ending, only death is the ending. The prince and princess will not necessarily be faithful after marriage, only the person hanging on the wall is unchanging.

Gao Yu fumbled around on the surface of the box and found the charging port on the back. He tentatively used the mobile phone charging cable to charge it, and the charging pattern lit up. It was incredible that it could still be charged after all these years. Gao Yu figured out the password without having to recall it, because it was the combination of his birthday and the birthdays of his parents.

Gao Yu slowly entered the password, "Hello, welcome, this is Gao Yu's secret world." As the voice appeared, the box opened. This was recorded by Gao Yu when he was a child. He didn't expect that the box was so strong and not broken at all. The voice function could still be used. Gao Yu hadn't opened this box for eighteen years.

The box was opened, revealing lucky money, a photo album, and his favorite toys as a child. Gao Yu looked at the things inside, hesitating whether to take them out. He opened and clenched his hands, and bit his lips unconsciously.

"Mr. Gao? Are you okay?" Li Wei came to call Gao Yu to eat, because he was her savior, so she usually did it herself. Anyway, walking was her daily routine. As a result, when she arrived, she saw that the door was not closed and Gao Yu was in a daze. His whole expression was not right, a little sad but confused, as if he was about to break. Out of concern, Li Wei poked Gao Yu's shoulder with her finger.

Gao Yu came back to his senses in a daze. He opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out for a moment. Li Wei saw this state and knew something was wrong. She could only pinch Gao Yu's palm hard, and Gao Yu woke up in pain. Fortunately, he still felt the pain. Li Wei was relieved when she saw Gao Yu screaming in pain.

"What's wrong with you? How about I call a doctor over?" Li Wei took out her cell phone and wanted to call a doctor, but she didn't know which doctor would be responsible for this situation. How about calling a general practitioner over? But wouldn't that be a bit too much of a fuss?

"I'm fine. It's an old illness. No need to call a doctor." Gao Yu stopped Li Wei. He had just had an attack. He hadn't lost consciousness like this for a long time. The last time he lost consciousness was in the garden. He sat alone in the sun for four hours, then woke up and went back to the house. Even Zhou Jing didn't know that Gao Yu had this symptom. He kept it a secret from the psychiatrist.

"Miss Li, could you please help me get my things out?" Gao Yu didn't want to trouble others, but he didn't want to be alone. His cousin went to rest, and he didn't want people who knew his past to get involved in this matter, because they would feel sorry for him, and he didn't need such pity.

"Oh, okay." Li Wei pulled over a stool and took out the things in the box one by one. There was a pile of coins, both small and large. Li Wei sorted them according to the value of the currency, two photo albums, which were quite heavy, some small stones with patterns, a handful of glass marbles, a hairpin, a watch, and a letter. Li Wei placed all these things on the table, neatly.

There was Dad’s watch, Mom’s hairpin, the pebbles we picked up when we went to the beach together, the glass marbles that Dad and I played games with, the letters he wrote to Mom and Dad, and the photo album was their photos.

Gao Yu stretched out his hand tremblingly. Li Wei was afraid that he couldn't hold the thing steadily, so she put the album in his hand herself. She was afraid that something might happen to Gao Yu, so Gao Yu didn't ask her to leave. She stayed here because she was very responsible.

Gao Yu opened the album. The first photo was a family portrait. They were all smiling happily. Then there were photos of Gao Yu from childhood to adulthood, from a little snowball to a handsome boy in his childhood. No matter how funny Gao Yu's expression was, he always looked good. The photo of him when he was ten years old already showed the outline of his future self.

The time and date were marked under these photos. Li Wei also took a sneak peek. She was mainly embarrassed because Gao Yu was looking at the photos and she was sitting next to him. If she didn't look at them with him, she would feel even more embarrassed if she turned her head away. Anyway, Gao Yu didn't say not to look at them, so she might as well look at them. The family of three was quite happy. Li Wei didn't pay much attention to Gao Yu's affairs and didn't know that his parents had left.

Gao Yu flipped to the last page. There was a photo stuffed in the album bag, and next to it was a note with the words "I'm sorry". Gao Yu slowly pulled it out and unfolded it. It was signed with his father's name. Gao Yu never flipped to the end every time he looked at this album. He didn't know that there was such a photo and such a note here.

But as far as Gao Yu could remember, his parents had not seen each other again after their quarrel. This photo was taken after the quarrel. The three of them looked very happy at the time, and there was no atmosphere of mortal enemies at all. Why would there be such a photo beyond memory!

Gao Yu slammed the photo album shut, then picked up the letters on the table. In addition to the three letters he wrote to his parents when he was a child, there were indeed two more letters. They were letters written to him by his parents. It turned out that his parents had secretly written to him, but he had never opened the box again after his parents died, until today.

Looking at the words "Love Your Dad" and "Love Your Mom" ​​on the surface of the envelope, Gao Yu didn't know what was wrong with his memory. He hesitated to open the letter. Li Wei seemed to realize that now was not the time for her to stay, so she quietly got up and wanted to leave stealthily, but Gao Yu held her back.

"Ms. Li, I'm sorry to bother you today. I hope..."

"I didn't see anything, I don't know anything." Li Wei hurriedly denied it. She seemed to have peeped into other people's sadness, and then she added unnecessarily: "You smiled very happily when you were a child. It can be seen that your parents loved you very much." Then Gao Yu's hand loosened, and she wanted to leave.

Do they really love me?

Gao Yu looked at the two letters, struggling and sneering in his heart. Love, what is love? If it is love, why do we have to quarrel? If we can't live together, we can just break up peacefully. Why do we have to quarrel so much? But why is there that photo?

Gao Yu couldn't understand why people always said that couples who loved each other would end up like that. Did they really love each other? If love changed, would it turn people into monsters?
