old age

At the beginning of October, Yi Chen and the others distributed a dividend, because the two newly opened official accounts were running smoothly, and advertisements began to come to them, and the money was more than expected.Ji Kaiyang also just got the bonus, and the two pooled their money together, plus the miscellaneous savings they had made during college, and it was quite a lot, so they bought an apartment in a newly opened building nearby and paid the down payment.

What Chu Jing meant was that she would be more supportive and let the two of them buy it in full.But the two children firmly disagreed, and she had no choice but to give up in the end.

After paying the down payment and leaving the sales office, Ji Kaiyang received a familiar call.

"Well, good. I'll check the time, I should be able to come..."

"Yi Chen is with me, I told him, you don't need to notify..."

Yi Chen waited for him to hang up the phone, "Who is it? What's the matter?"

"Zou Ziheng, say that next Saturday will be a junior high school reunion." Ji Kaiyang put the phone back in his pocket, "Going?"

Ji Kaiyang booked the plane ticket only to find out that the date of the party was really a coincidence, it was just the day before their birthdays.

"Then why don't you come back after one more day?" Yi Chen leaned over to look at the computer screen, and discussed with Ji Kaiyang on his shoulder, "Let's celebrate my birthday at my hometown."

The class reunion was scheduled for the evening, and when the plane arrived in N City in the afternoon, Zou Ziheng drove to the airport to pick them up.

After Zhang Yun's death, every time they came back, they went directly to the outer ring to sweep the tombs. They never went into the city. Today, they walked around the city center and realized that in less than two years, the city has changed a lot.

"I remember it used to be an aquarium?" Yi Chen pointed to a building not far away.

"Yes." Zou Ziheng said, "It has been losing money for the past few years. It was demolished last year and turned into a shopping mall."

"Demolition? Before elementary school, we were given an invoice every year, and we had to write a weekly diary when it was over." Yi Chen glanced at it with a little melancholy, then thought of something, and laughed, "It's too annoying to write every year. I have a I copied an article about going to the aquarium to see penguins in my composition paper in [-], and it was discovered when I handed it in. The teacher scolded me angrily, saying that there are no penguins in this aquarium, and asked me to rewrite it and write two articles. "

He bumped Ji Kaiyang lightly with his elbow, "It seems that you wrote an article for me?"

Ji Kaiyang shook his head.

"I remember you wrote one?"

"You remember wrong." Ji Kaiyang suppressed a little smile from the corner of his mouth, "I wrote both articles for you."

Zou Ziheng laughed loudly in front, "Hey, you used to hate writing essays so much, and now you still rely on it for a living?"

"This is different from writing an essay. Besides, can I bend my waist for five buckets of rice?"

Yi Chen recalled it carefully, and it seems that it was really written by Ji Kaiyang.As soon as he heard that he was going to write two essays, he started to worry when he got home, and he didn't dare to tell his parents. He worried until after ten o'clock, and the composition text was still blank, and he panicked even more.Sobbing, he slipped out of the house to look for Ji Kaiyang.Zhang Yun was asleep at that time. He cried for too long and was also sleepy.Ji Kaiyang opened the door for him, wiped his face with a towel, and let him sleep on his bed.Then I turned on the desk lamp, sat at the desk, and finished writing these two articles.

They talked and laughed, and arrived at the hotel they had booked in advance.There was a traffic jam on the road, and when they arrived, there were already quite a few people.

The scenery of N City is a little strange to them, and people may not be familiar with it.Except for those few who are often in contact with each other, the rest of them almost have to react for a while when they hear the name before they can find the corresponding figure in the past memory.

Some of the classmates have come out to work, some are studying in graduate school like them, and some have studied abroad, but this time they didn't come at all.

At nine o'clock, two female classmates said they had to leave first, and they had to go home to put their children to sleep.Yi Chen was really a little surprised.

"How old is this? I have a child."

Because of the short stay, it was too troublesome to go back to Ruijing Garden to clean it, so they simply booked a hotel outside.

"It seems that I didn't go to college, and I worked after graduating from high school. It makes sense to have children."

Ji Kaiyang took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, while Yi Chen hugged his waist from behind.

Ji Kaiyang patted his hand, and heard Yi Chen say in a muffled voice, "Fortunately, you haven't changed."

Ji Kaiyang lowered his head and smiled, it's not that he hasn't changed, he and Yi Chen have also changed, becoming more suitable for each other, the only constant is love, which is the only eternity.

The next day they woke up early to visit Zhang Yun's grave. They came to this cemetery many times, each time with different moods.

"My mother also bought a cemetery here." Yi Chen put a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of Zhang Yun's tombstone, and suddenly said to Ji Kaiyang.

"When?"

"It was when Mom passed away." Yi Chen touched Zhang Yun's tombstone, "I went to her place last time and saw the contract under the bookshelf."

Ji Kaiyang nodded, and tore off a weed beside the tombstone.Yi Chen asked him again, "When we die in the future, where will we be buried?"

Ji Kaiyang turned his head, "Where do you want to be buried?"

"I don't know. It seems too early to buy it now. Anyway, I want to be buried with you." Yi Chen smiled, and the two stood side by side in front of the tomb, "I hope we can die together."

Ji Kaiyang gently held his hand.

In this place where life and death meet, they talked about the affairs behind them, but their hearts were surprisingly peaceful.Then why were you afraid in the past?Ji Kaiyang suddenly understood that that worry did not come from death itself, but the fear of parting from the other party when he did not expect it.But if you can really go to another world together, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Let's go." They knelt down and kowtowed, and Ji Kaiyang said.

"Go and wait for me for a while, I want to talk to my mother." Yi Chen said slowly.

Ji Kaiyang didn't ask him what he wanted to say, but said hello, and walked to the side path to wait for him.

Yi Chen first said something in front of Zhang Yun's tomb, then went to Ji Ziwen's tomb, and bowed solemnly.

Ji Kaiyang looked at his back, remembering the day he just found out that his father was no longer alive, Yi Chen accompanied him to the cemetery overnight.At that time, he was in front of the tomb, and Yi Chen was waiting for him, and later accompanied him to the beach...

"Are you ready?" Yi Chen came over, and Ji Kaiyang asked.

"Yeah." Yi Chen nodded, "Let's go down the mountain."

I went to the steamed fish restaurant in the old town for dinner, and bought a birthday cake on the way. The two of us couldn't finish it, so I distributed it to other customers in the store, and ate up the longevity noodles that the boss gave.

"This store has been around for many years. We were only in primary school when we first opened." After dinner, they walked slowly along Binjiang Road to the hotel.

Yi Chen responded, his voice a little strained.He looked a little nervous, and he had been nervous since he left the store.

"Ji Kaiyang." He stopped and grabbed Ji Kaiyang's sleeve.

Ji Kaiyang looked at him, but didn't speak.

Yi Chen suddenly pulled him to a nearby ginkgo tree, and it was already late autumn, and they were stepping on a field of golden leaves.

Yi Chen's Adam's apple twitched twice, took out a box from his coat pocket, took out the ring, and put it on Ji Kaiyang's left ring finger vigorously.

"Ji Kaiyang, I..."

Ji Kaiyang lowered his head and glanced at the simple platinum ring, "I'm still thinking, when are you going to give it to me?"

"you know?"

Ji Kaiyang smiled, "You were so big at measuring my finger circumference that night, where did you get the confidence that I wouldn't wake up?"

"I've been very careful, I thought you really didn't wake up." Yi Chen said, "I estimated one myself, but I was afraid of making a mistake, and the measurement was correct..."

"Oh, okay, be serious, don't interrupt me." Just as Ji Kaiyang was about to speak, Yi Chen hurriedly said, grabbed his hand, and called his name again, "Ji Kaiyang."

"Yeah." Ji Kaiyang also lost his expression.

"You...you marry me, no, it's not right for you to marry me..." Yi Chen prepared for so long in his heart, and when he opened his mouth he was so panicked that his tongue was about to tie up. He took a deep breath and licked Lips, "Brother Kaiyang, we will always be together, okay?"

Together forever, Yi Chen asked him so many years ago.

At that time they were still in kindergarten, and there was a family in the community who needed two flower girls for their wedding.It was supposed to be a man and a woman, but they couldn't find a suitable one, so they were allowed to go.

They wore little gowns and stood behind the bride and groom.When the groom and the bride were kissing, Yi Chen suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

Ji Kaiyang looked at him in surprise, and Yi Chen asked in a childlike voice, "Brother Kaiyang, can we be together forever after we get married? Then we will also get married in the future and be together forever, okay?"

Twenty years have passed in a flash, his relatives have left, and his hometown is not what it used to be, only Yi Chen is still by his side.Although he has grown from a boy to a man, it still belongs to him and still says forever to him.

He and his forever, always together forever.

"Did I get the order wrong, it seems that I should propose first and then wear the ring." After Yi Chen finished speaking, he bit his lower lip angrily,

Ji Kaiyang smiled and shook his head, "Is there another ring?"

"Here." Yi Chen handed it to him.

Ji Kaiyang took it, straightened Yi Chen's finger, and put it on him carefully.Yi Chen's trembling hands stopped at that moment.

Ji Kaiyang laughed, and he saw Yi Chen smiling too.

Then he repeated the answer he gave Yi Chen in his memory. He hooked Yi Chen's little finger and pressed Yi Chen's thumb with his thumb, "Well, we will be together forever."
