The moment when the two looked at each other seemed to have spanned more than ten years, and countless fragments related to Xue Ning flashed in Xi Lang's mind.
Like a vivid picture, like it happened just yesterday.
They used to be two lines that were entangled with each other, but in the end they drifted apart and became parallel.
How did it get to this point? Xi Lang knew better than anyone else that his fate with Xue Ning was cut off by himself. It was only because he was young and frivolous that he was unwilling to succumb to the kindness of the previous generation for the so-called self and freedom, so he ignored his own heart and strangled all the palpitations at the time of their initial formation.
Pretending that nothing has changed.
However, it has finally changed.
His feelings for Xue Ning, his love for Xue Ning.
It's just that it was too late now.
They can never go back to the past.
"Xi Lang, I don't know what you think, but in my heart, you definitely shouldn't look so depressed." Xue Xue suddenly bent down and reached out to caress Xi Lang's face. "Although I don't love you anymore, I still hope you can be well and happy."
These words made Xi Lang stiff.
This sentence was also what Xue Ning wanted to say to Xi Lang the most.
Even if she didn't love him anymore, she hoped he can live a good life.
After all, she have loved and cared so deeply.
For Xue Ning, whether she loved him or not, Xi Lang was a huge part of her life, and no one could erase it.
"Life is not just about love. At that time, I lost myself in order to love you. Xi Lang, I don't want you to become like this."
The woman's cool palm was against his skin, and with the frequency of her breathing, there seemed to be a touch of heat seeping into the blood vessels through the cells, warming his cold body.
"You…" Xi Lang's voice trembled. "You know?"
Xue Xue shook her head.
"I have no idea."
"Xi Lang, you know, I don't need to know."
Xi Lang understood these two enigmatic sentences.
"You're right." He pulled a smile at Xue Xue that was worse than crying. "There's no need to know anymore."
Sometimes a person's sobriety is just a matter of blinking an eye.
"I don't have a chance, do I?"
"Of course you do, Xi Lang. Opportunities always exist." Xue Xue's voice was as gentle as a pool of green water wrinkled by the gentle breeze in the Jiangnan waterway in early spring. "It's just that your opportunity is not with me, nor is it given by me."
Sure enough.
Even if he knew the answer, he still couldn't help but hold a shred of luck. He closed his eyes.
"Don't let love stop you."
"You never know where the next surprise will be waiting for you."
Xi Lang wanted to tell Xue Xue that there would be no more surprises.
The biggest surprise of his life has already been ruined by himself.
However…
"Yes."
Xi Lang opened his eyes.
They were like peach blossoms in spring, glowing in radiance.

"Don't worry." Xi Lang said while using all his strength to restrain himself, so that he could take Xue Xue's hand off his cheek with a calm attitude. "I won't be depressed any more."
Xue Xue tilted her head.
Looking at the charming appearance of the woman that she hadn't shown in front of him for a long time, Xi Lang felt sour in his heart, but it was the opposite on his face, he has returned to his previous attitude of being frivolous and casual.
"Don't believe it? I will make some achievements soon."
"You just wait."
"Well… okay." Xue Xue saw through but didn't say it. In their current state, this was probably the best response. "Then I will wait and see."

Later, Xie Conglu, who did not go to university because of his life, said that he wanted to study design-related courses abroad.
Gao Changze was naturally happy. In his opinion, education was not so important. What was important was whether he can keep an open-minded learning and enterprising spirit. His son is willing to ponder his interests and strengths. As a father, he will only be proud of him.
In the end, Xue Xue also went abroad with him.
In the coming year, on Valentine's Day, Xie Conglu found a hundred children to hold bouquets of roses to propose to Xue Xue.
"You are my salvation." The handsome man in a neat suit knelt down slowly in front of the holy cathedral. "Please give me a chance and let me use my life to prove how much I love you."
"Marry him!" "Promise him!"
All the people around were making noises.
At the moment when snowflakes began to fall from the sky, Xue Xue nodded.
After the two notarized, they returned to China to hold the wedding after four years. At this time, Xie Conglu was not only Gao Changze's successor, but also a top designer who has repeatedly won international design awards.
In the past few years, Xue Xue was raised white and plump by Xie Congliu, who had washed his hands abroad and was determined to raise a fat wife as a side business. Fortunately, she had a slim bone structure and still looked slender.
Especially after putting on the wedding dress, the plump breasts, perky buttocks, straight long legs, Xue Xue's strengths were perfectly highlighted, which made Gao Qiqi, one of the bridesmaids, sighed in admiration.
"Sister Xue, you're a fairy!" Gao Qiqi said with envy after taking a careful look around the woman. "Our little boss is really lucky, Sister Xue, your figure…"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Xue tapped her on the head. "Is there too much shit in your brain?"
Hearing this, Gao Qiqi stuck out her tongue and was quickly called outside to help.
Xue Xue was left alone in the huge space.
She closed her eyes, intending to rest for a while.
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Xue Xue didn't think much until she heard the heavy footsteps that belonged to a man.
She lifted her eyes.
"Xi Lang?" Xue Xue's voice was tinged with a pleasant surprise. "You actually came?"
Naturally, the wedding invitation was sent to Xi Lang, but at that time he was attending an important business seminar abroad, and yesterday he called Xue Xue specially to say that he might not be able to attend.
She didn't expect… Just by looking at the man's rugged appearance, she knew that the other party rushed back specially.
Over the years, everyone's appearance has changed more or less, but Xi Lang was undoubtedly the one who has changed the most. He fell in love with rock climbing and surfing, and spent all his spare time after work on fitness. His originally tall body has been trained and his skin has been tanned to a healthy bronze color. At the same time, his facial features have become more and more strong.
The only thing that remained the same was the peach blossom eyes with light fine lines.
"How could I not come to your wedding?" Xi Lang smiled and handed the bag to Xue Xue. "Congratulations, happy wedding."
"Hey, why are you so polite for?" Xue Xue muttered as she took it. "Besides, I've been married for several years, I'm just having a wedding now."
"Well…" Hearing Xue Xue say this, Xi Lang was a little stunned. "How time flies! So many years have passed."
