Trafford’s Trading Club

The good thing about passing through clouds and rain is that it is really just passing through clouds. Soon, there were water stains on the road, reflecting the bright sunshine. The sunshine at four o'clock in the afternoon was not so hot.

After coming out of the mall, Xue Si took Xu Jiayi's hand. This time it was him who took the initiative.

They didn't speak.

It's like many years ago, they would always hold hands on the way home after each evening self-study, whether it was cloudy, sunny, breeze, or raining.

Xu Jiayi suddenly said: "This is not a kiss between lovers."

Xue Nao smiled and said, "I understand."

Xu Jiayi always seemed to be much more mature than him, then and now. He and she each had their own stories in the past eleven years. Xue Nao thought: Maybe Xu Jiayi's story is much more exciting than his.

She can always find many wonderful stories, such a proactive girl. Maybe... in some summer or some cold winter in the eleven years, she will also take the initiative to invite someone and treat her to something to eat.

Just like many years ago, on that winter vacation evening, she asked him to give her a piece of cake to eat.

She was just talking about whether time could be regained... not that time could go back to the past.

On this road they walked hand in hand, he was chasing a young dream. Childish, immature, persistent and once accompanied by painful dreams.

Instead of going back to the hotel, they sat at the bus stop on the road for quite some time.

Xue Nao said that they had never been so stupid before.

But Xu Jiayi leaned on his shoulder and said, "You are the one who is really stupid. You can't be more stupid."

What is undeniable is that Xue Nao enjoys this feeling very much.

A feeling of a continuation of a dream.

But he knew that it only lasted a small amount of time, and maybe she knew it too.

So this time, he took the initiative and said, "Next time, I'll introduce you to my fiancée."

Xu Jiayi thought for a while before saying, "Fortunately, you didn't invite me to your wedding. I would have cried."

Xue Na suddenly said: "Then do you want to come to my wedding?"

This time Xu Jiayi stretched out her hand and pinched Xue Si's ears, very hard, and puffed out her mouth and said: "No, no at all!"

Xue Nao smiled, this time he was grabbing her.

Xu Jiayi finally rubbed Xue Xi's pinched ears and said softly: "However, if it is my wedding, I will really invite you, and you must come and give me the best wishes. .”

Xue Nao said that this is equally cruel to men.

Xu Jiayi suddenly said, "Why don't you go back? This is the place that belongs to you."

Xue Na looked at the now clear night sky, nodded silently, and said he was going back.

He still didn't ask why she disappeared without any news.

Because it feels like it’s no longer necessary.

Xu Jiayi asked, do you want to treat her to another piece of cake?

Xue Si said yes.

Beginning and ending.

…

…

Xue Si had a very peaceful sleep that night and had a very happy dream. In the dream, he seemed to be seventeen years old again, holding the girl's hand and sitting on the beach watching the sunset.

Then, Xue Nao stopped seeing Xu Jiayi, and she left quietly. But unlike the last time, this time she didn't even say where she was going.

I just asked at the front desk of the hotel and was told that the lady had already checked out of the room early in the morning.

Xue Nao thought it would be good to draw an end here.

According to the itinerary, he was leaving tomorrow, but his original work had been postponed for two days because of his delay, so he had to devote himself to meeting guests with almost no rest time today.

He met local businesses, held a small meeting with people from the branch, and then received a lecture from the head of the company. Who delayed him for two days?

"I'll be back tomorrow, around noon, right? Are you tired these days?" In the evening, he had a long phone call with Wan Zishan, a phone call that could accompany him to sleep.

Just as he subconsciously brings the coffee and then mixes it, the woman on the other side of the phone has already become a part of his life without even realizing it.

Which is an essential part, the most important part of his future life.

He got on the plane back.

…

…

Wan Zishan came to the airport to pick him up. He was exhausted, but it felt good to be back.

"What's the matter? I came back from a business trip for a few days, and my face seems to be full of spring breeze."

Xue Na thought for a while and said, "Because I feel like I love you even more."

Wan Zishan was taken aback, and rolled her eyes at Xue Xuan angrily, but she was always happy, but she didn't say anything verbally, "Don't talk nonsense here, the dress has been changed, can you pick it up on the way and go home? You still Can you hold on?"

"Well, I can just relax in the car for a while." Xue Ma shrugged and said, "But why is it still raining here? Has it not stopped?"

"It stopped for a day, right? Then it went underground intermittently." Wan Zishan said: "But the weather forecast said it will be sunny the day after tomorrow."

Xue Na carried his luggage and got into the car while Wan Zishan drove. He fell asleep soon after. It takes more than an hour from the airport to the bridal shop.

Xue Xi was sleeping very deeply. After arriving, Wan Zishan woke him up. Xue Na yawned, opened the door and got out of the car, but was stunned and looked straight at the other side of the road, "This tree... hasn't been cut down yet?"

Wan Zishan glanced at it casually and thought: "Maybe it's raining and it's hard to do homework, so I just put it aside for now? But a lot of leaves fell and I didn't clean it up."

Xue Ma looked at it thoughtfully for a while. Many of the treasure certificates originally hung on the wishing tree had been scraped off... I wonder if any of these fallen treasure certificates were the ones he had hung on them originally. that one?

"Are you still reluctant to let go?" Wan Zishan watched with him for a while.

Xue Xi shook her head, then took Wan Zishan's hand and walked into the bridal shop.

Another treasure slip was blown down by the wind, and a lot of dead leaves fell.

…

…

When they were at home in the evening, Xue Si and Wan Zishan said that they had lived together for a long time and went downstairs to buy some things.

Xue Nao couldn't remember the specific location of that mysterious shop, but he still remembered the general location. But this time, he seemed to find it without much difficulty.

I shook off the rainwater from my umbrella in front of the store.

I was in such a rush last time that I was so frightened that I didn't even have time to really look at this place carefully. It seemed like there was nothing different this time.

The club owner who was sitting on the chair still gave him that quiet feeling.

Xue Xi nodded towards Boss Luo, then breathed a sigh of relief, took off the crescent moon necklace from his body, and placed it on the table in front of Boss Luo.

Luo Qiu said: "Guest, didn't I say you don't have to worry?"

Xue Mao took a deep breath and said, "I don't want someone to suddenly show up at my house. I don't care... If it scares Zishan, it won't be good after all."

"Sorry, I suddenly showed up last time." Luo Qiu said apologetically.

Xue Nao shook his head... He always felt that this mysterious boss would do things in a measured way.

Luo Qiu took the crescent moon necklace over, handled it carefully, and suddenly said: "Mr. Xue, it seems that you have experienced a very good journey. Have you found the answer?"

"secret."

Xue Si smiled in front of his boss... and smiled with relief.

"That's good."

Boss Luo nodded gently, stood up, and said, "If necessary, we welcome our guests to visit us next time."

Xue Nao was full of awe of this mysterious power and said nothing. He nodded hurriedly and immediately picked up his umbrella and left the place.

…

After coming out this time, the rain stopped and the night air was very fresh. Xue Na took a deep breath and felt a lot more energetic.

But he didn't go back home immediately. Instead, he drove around and came to the wishing tree.

Xue Na stretched out his hand and touched its trunk for a while, then took a deep breath and climbed up with all his strength.

Using his memory, he found the place he had climbed to before.

This is where he hung the treasure certificate for the girl. At first, because he was afraid that it would be blown away by the wind, he tied it up unlike others who threw it up.

Therefore, the treasure certificate is still there today.

Xue Na untied it and climbed down again.

He did not intend to take the treasure certificate away. Instead, he pried open a few floor tiles on the sidewalk under the tree, dug deeper, put the treasure certificate in a box, and buried it.

The youthful memories that recorded his past were simply buried in this place.

However, Xue Nao felt a little regretful. He stood up and patted the dirt on his hands... He said goodbye to his past self, but he did not have time to say goodbye to Xu Jiayi.

Maybe...she left quietly because she didn't want to hear it?

"I don't know who hasn't grown up yet." Xue Na sighed and drove away.

…

So, goodbye, this dream that has been broken for eleven years.

Goodbye, the old me.
