The plane crossed the vast Pacific Ocean and landed in the western hemisphere. Lin and Xi Wai hit by mistake to catch up with the time for spring enrollment in the United States.

The admission procedures for University B were handled by the person You Yueteng sent to supervise him. He didn't seem to be worried that he would contact You Zhong. The other party gave him a brand new mobile phone and phone card, but had no intention of returning his passport.

Lin and Xi agreed to move into the house they provided in exchange for the right to freely choose a profession.On the weekend before school started, he locked himself in his bedroom on the second floor of the house and called You Zhong with a new mobile phone and a new number.

You Zhong's number in memory was correct, but the other party's phone was still disconnected.

He dialed the familiar number over and over again, only to wait for the busy signal played over and over again on the phone.

Lin and Xi were at a loss and lost.

He was even a little unsure whether You Zhong didn't want to hear his voice anymore, or You Yueteng used some means to make him unable to call You Zhong again.

The first week of school is coming soon, and Lin Hexi has no free time to think about this matter. The language and professional difficulties and pressures brought to him by the fashion design course are enough to make him burnt out and even out of breath.

In addition, in order not to use the money You Yueteng put in his bank card as much as possible, he had to go to a restaurant near the school to find a job.

On their first day on the job, Lin and Xi encountered an overbearing guest deliberately making things difficult for him. Wells, who was also eating in the restaurant at the time, took the initiative to get up to help him out.

Friends thought that Wells fell in love with him at first sight, but Wells said that he knew him and found a photo with him in China two years ago on his mobile phone.

In the photo, there are not only him and Wells, but also Wells' friends and You Zhong.

Only then did Lin Hexi slowly match the person in front of him with the blond boy in his memory.

Wells and Wells' friends became the first group of friends he met in the United States, and they helped him gradually adapt to the study and life in American universities.

And the group photo in Wells' mobile phone became the only effective medicine for him to relieve insomnia every night.

Wells didn't know about the breakup between him and You Zhong, and even expressed his incomprehension from time to time. Even though he lived in such a big house in the United States, he still had to work in the restaurant every day.

In the second year of studying in the United States, Lin and Xi were finally able to spare time to participate in social activities.

Wells held a party in the house he shared with his alumni. At the party, he got drunk and murmured You Zhong's name repeatedly while hugging the black-haired and black-eyed Chinese student.

The foreign student was at a loss, and those friends who could not understand Chinese got up to help him, and when they hurriedly carried him into the sofa, they found that his eyes were tightly closed, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

After sobering up the next day, Wells knew the ins and outs of Lin Hexi's study in the United States.

American friends gathered around the sofa to advise him to get his passport back from the supervisor.

From that day on, Lin and Xi gradually began to stay out at night, and frequented the villa shared by Wells.

He told You Yueteng's people that he found a boyfriend in the United States, and maintained a relationship with Wells' roommate for nearly half a year, and finally got back his passport from You Yueteng's people when he was about to graduate.

It's just that after getting the passport, Lin and Xi couldn't get away from their bodies because they had to prepare for graduation-related matters, and they still couldn't return to China as they wished.

When he graduated from graduate school, he entered a well-known clothing brand company in the United States by virtue of the letter of introduction from his school tutor and his design works at school. Then he moved out of the house where he had lived for two years under the pretext of work and boyfriend, completely getting rid of under the supervision of those people.

And the fact is true. After leaving school, he worked and lived alone in the United States for a year, and occasionally flew to other cities to participate in fashion shows with his company boss, but he never thought of returning to China.

Wells came to his city on business and asked him to drink in a bar.Hearing that he stayed in the United States after finding a job, he asked in surprise, "You really haven't returned to China?"

Lin Hexi shook his head, as if unwilling to say more, "No."

Wells showed a rather unbelievable expression.

That night, Lin and Xi were tossing and turning on the bed in the apartment, and Wells' question resurfaced in their minds.

He hugged the quilt in a daze, then found the group photo on his phone and looked at it over and over again.

It’s not that he hasn’t returned to China all the time. Before the company’s admission notice was sent to the mailbox, he also quietly bought a ticket to return to China.

The city that they haven't seen for two years has become a little strange. Lin and Xi walked out of the airport and realized that they had nowhere to go.

He took the subway from the airport to University City, and changed trains at Linhe West Station halfway. He still recalled the experience of taking the subway with You Zhong to find Linhe West Station late at night two years ago.

And when the subway stopped at Linhe West Station again, there were only strangers standing beside him in a hurry, and he no longer knew where to find You Zhong.

Lin and Xi walked aimlessly in the university town.

You Zhong and others have graduated from University A.The place where he used to live in Chengnan Community, the person who opened the door was a girl with a strange face.Alaska, who ran happily by the side of the road, didn't know him.There are new stray cats living in the alley next to the bar, but they are no longer easily fed by strangers.

In the end, he sat in the milk tea shop that he and You Zhong had been to, and found the address of You's company headquarters with his mobile phone.

Lin and Xi sat in the coffee shop opposite the company building for a long time, but they still dared not lower their heads to play with their mobile phones.

Before sunset in the evening, he finally waited for You Zhong who came out of the opposite building, or rather, You Zhong and a young and beautiful woman.

Lin and Xi connected to the wireless in the coffee shop, and found news of You Zhong's engagement on the Internet.

He suddenly remembered the fact that he couldn't get through to You Zhong in the United States two years ago.

It's not that his own mobile phone can't get through. He also tried with Wells and other people's mobile phones, but they still can't get through.

Lin and Xi called the waiter in the coffee shop, borrowed the other party's mobile phone, and entered the string of recited numbers.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the store, Lin Hexi saw You Zhong standing across the street waiting for a bus with his head down and taking out his mobile phone.

The next second, the phone was connected, and a familiar yet unfamiliar voice fell into my ears.

Lin and Xi held the phone in silence for two seconds, then hung up.

It turned out that it wasn't that the phone couldn't get through, but that the other party blocked all foreign calls, he thought.

The two people on the opposite side of the street had already boarded the car and left. He returned the phone to the waiter, sat by the window for a while, rebooked the flight back to the United States, and then got up and left.

At dusk, the sun was slanting towards the west, and the sunset was as gorgeous as fire. Lin Hexi stood on the side of the street to hail a taxi.

A second ago, there was a bustling street with endless traffic, but it suddenly became empty and silent.

You Zhong, who had already boarded the car and left, reappeared on the opposite side of the street.

Lin and Xi froze in place.

You Zhong didn't seem to see him, he lowered his head and took out his cell phone to answer the call.

Lin and Xi finally came to their senses, the hearts in their chests began to beat rapidly, and they ran across the road to each other recklessly.

But You Zhong disappeared out of his sight.

Lin Hexi stopped on the side of the road panting violently, sweat flowed from his forehead into his eyes, and his vision suddenly became blurred.

He raised his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously. When his vision gradually became clear, his feet began to vibrate without warning.

The sunset completely sank into the night, the buildings and coffee shops on both sides of the street collapsed, the ground sank deeply, and the sky fell and collapsed.

Lin Hexi suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from the dream.

The mobile phone next to the pillow rang a short notification tone, the screen lit up instantly, and the booking software sent a boarding reminder in ten hours.

Lin and Xi sat up from the quilt, stared at the sleeping notebook next to the bed for a moment, raised their hands and tapped the Enter key on the notebook.

The laptop resumed operation again, and the desktop still stayed at the inbox interface of Lin Hexi's mailbox.

It was an email from Fang Qingning. The content was only a short line, but he had read it many times.

Looking away from the screen, Lin Hexi closed the notebook, closed his eyes tightly, buried his face in the quilt, and his mind went blank.

It turned out that meeting Wells had been a few months ago.

It turned out that more than three years had passed.

It turned out that You Zhong was getting married soon.
