Chapter 1401: Long Time, No See. How Are You?
White Stone Cemetery.
Yun An stood in the cemetery, staring fixed at a tombstone. The portrait on the tombstone was extremely young, with strong eyebrows and a starry gaze. The handsome face was likable and had a hint of a smile on it.
Yuan An!
Yun An remembered that they had met on a plane. He had accidentally b.u.mped into Yuan An, causing his ident.i.ty card to drop to the ground. Yun An held up his ident.i.ty card foolishly and said, “We are so fated. Your name and my name are p.r.o.nounced in the same way.”
Afterward, during advanced training sessions at the jewelry appraisal center, the teacher, who had a heavy accent, called out their names. Both of them stood up at the same time, causing a huge blunder, but this also opened up an unspeakable fate between the two of them.
Yun An had never known where he was buried. After the hurried farewell, it was as if an eternity had pa.s.sed. As he was afraid of being hurt, he had locked Yuan An’s photographs and information up.
Upon seeing this face again, it really felt like an eternity had pa.s.sed. As if a lifetime had pa.s.sed.
“Have you been well?” asked Yun An in a soft voice. “I don’t know if there’s really another universe after one dies. If there is, please send a dream to me.”
If there was really a universe where they could meet again, how good would that be?
They could see each other again.
“Brother Gu, I have been well.” Yun An’s nose was extremely sour. “Really, I’ve been very well. I’m not lying to you.”
“So, don’t worry about me. Take care of yourself. Send dreams regularly to me, okay? You have never entered my dreams. Is it because I’m not good enough? Is it because I… like someone else?”
“I’m sorry. I did not do it on purpose!” Yun An exclaimed.
Yun An caressed the photograph on the tombstone as he broke down crying uncontrollably. “I did not do it on purpose. Forgive me.”
He once felt that he would like Gu Yuanan for eternity and that his heart would never change. However, after a mere few years, everything had changed. He was fickle and liked someone else. He no longer deserved Gu Yuanan’s love.
When Yun An realized that he liked Li Chen, there would be chills all over his body. He would keep pondering if he was someone who was insecure and needed someone to take care of him. Otherwise, why would he like someone else so easily?
He had let Gu Yuanan down.
He did not even have the face to see him.
However, he still wished to see him and to know where he lay, where he was buried, and if there were people who regularly paid their respects to him. He heard that after one died, the family had to burn paper money every year so that the ghosts in the underworld would have sufficient money to buy things and feed themselves. Otherwise, they would become a hungry ghost or a malicious ghost. A ghost without incense would lead a pathetic life in the underworld.
He thought, Brother Gu probably lived well.
Everyone liked him.
He was not a playboy and did not treat everyone exceptionally well. However, his appearance was extremely likable, and he would not argue with others agitatedly. Just like… Li Chen.
“Sorry.” Yun An was particularly upset. He did not dare to mention Li Chen and felt guilty and despaired.
Yun An stood in front of the tomb from daybreak to sunset. He only left unwillingly after the management came over. The moment he went down the hill, he saw Li Chen leaning against the car, smoking. He looked very annoyed, with his eyebrows knitted tightly together. The dim light shone on his body, casting a messy yet picturesque shadow on the ground. Yun An’s heart moved slightly.
Why did he come?
It was chilly in the forests, yet Yun An’s clothes were extremely thin. Li Chen lifted his head slightly and saw Yun An standing a few meters away. He threw his cigarette away onto the ground and stepped on it. “Come here!”
