The afternoon was sunny, but the evening was windy, and rain poured down before 7 o'clock .
Later, it became drizzle after 8 .
Drizzling everywhere .
…
Chills woke Xue Shao up from the table--- before sleeping, he accompanied Wan Zishan and took half a day off . Therefore, he had to go back to the company and even work overtime to finish his tasks .
He worked till 6 and wanted to have a nap, but was too exhausted and fell asleep unconsciously .
Xue Shao had a dream, a dream about long long ago .
The girl in his memory didn't do anything at all during his birthday . Just as he was feeling disappointed at her unawareness, the girl kissed his cheek lightly before she went back home .
The girl said, 'It's not your birthday present, but this one is . ' Then, the girl took out a necklace, and put it on his neck . She said it was from her mother, and hoped that he would wear it all the time .
The dream suddenly stopped because he woke up .
No lights were turned on in the room Xue Shao stayed except for his laptop screen . Xue Shao turned the chair and watched the drizzle outside; he subconsciously touched his neck .
There was always a brown crescent-moon-shape pendant hanging on his neck, held by a simple string .
Xue Shao looked at the rain… it seemed that rainy days always cause a ripple of anxiousness in his heart .
He couldn't help wondering if every man had the same feelings he did before marriage… being unable to control themselves and thought about their past love .
Especially first love, which had died in his sleep .
Maybe it also affected women… who couldn't control themselves but to think and sigh about something . They could not resist the sudden memories of sweetness and bitterness, even if they were unwilling to recall it .
As time went, Xue Shao thought he had forgotten about it, or hid it deeply in memories . And when… when he grew up and could face it with a smile, he might open it again .
That was his plan, because he didn't deny his true love and loyalty to his fiancée .
"Maybe it is because I'm about to get married… and changing into another state?" Xue Shao heaved a sigh, "But…"
Xue Shao held tightly the tiny crescent moon across his clothes .
However… he didn't want to think about these as he was transitioning into the next stage . "Don't flee, just end it . "
Xue Shao picked up his cellphone and waited for a second, "Hi, class president, it's me, Xue Shao . "
"Xue Shao, what's the matter?"
"Nothing much… but I'm about to get married . " Xue Shao said, "And I'm writing the invitation cards… but I cannot contact some people . Do you know the contact information of Xu Jiayi? I cannot find her . "
"Xu Jiayi… Ah, I haven't heard this name for long . " The leader suddenly grinned, "I remember that you had a major crush on her at school eh? Why, you cannot forget her, and want to see her sneakily for a final screw?"
"Man, don't joke . " Xue Shao hurriedly said, "I really need to send her the invitation card… or at least inform her . "
"Fine, we all know that you're the rare sort . Last time each of us shared a girl in Karaoke, But you sang all night, so that I had to do it with two girls! May I know what did you think? I wonder if you are impotent!"
"President!"
"Ok, fine, I'll stop . "
The class president said after a second of pause, "But I don't have the contact information of Xu Jiayi . Somebody said she flies all the world and cannot be found . I don't think I can help you . "
"Well… fine, that is a pity . " Xue Shao said, "President, don't forget to accept the invitation card and come on time! If not, we are done . "
"F*ck… I will definitely go even if I have to crawl over, alright?"
"Yeah, well, I have to go back home, bye . "
Xue Shao hung up the phone with a slight hint of a bitter smile .
…
Xue Shao called Wan Zishan to say everything was alright before he left the company… but he didn't drive his car home straightaway due to some unknown agitation .
He came beneath the building of that woman in his heart .
Looking up to the room on sixth floor next to the road . . . he used to live around here .
As the class president said, he had a major crush on that girl---before they started .
He couldn't forget the first day for new students . He saw that face and the faint smile… as well as the scene where the wind blew up the girl's hair .
He always gazed at that window when he passed by and hoped that the girl would look out .
But there was light in this old house any more . The balcony was full of rust and the curtains had been taken away… It was just an empty house now .
As expected, he should not have opened that box randomly .
Standing in this place filled where he had waited through countless evenings… It was true that one should not open the box hiding deeply in one's heart .
"Xu Jiayi, you left, went abroad without delay… and didn't even leave me any contact information . " Xue Shao stretched out his hand and felt the drizzle; he said to himself, "You even… didn't tell me . "
He took a deep breath, turning to leave . He walked to his car… 100 meters away from that place .
Xue Shao bitterly smiled… maybe he shouldn't have asked about the wishing tree . Did he lose his mind due to the news that the tree was about to be cut down?
He strolled with his umbrella .
Under the street light, two old-fashioned lamps decorated the dark corner .
"Was there a shop here?" Xue Shao frowned, and looked at the dim sign of the shop .
He didn't notice that the surroundings had changed and he even ignored the quietness… the abnormal quietness here .
He subconsciously came to the doorway, it seemed that something kept attracting him .
Xue Shao collected his umbrella and shook off the rain water; then he pushed open the wooden door .
The bell rang .
The lamp was warm .
At the moment he entered, Xue Shao couldn't feel the cool and quiet rainy street . This place was very warm .
"Welcome, may I help you, dear customer . "
…
"Well… customer, you want to meet your first love right?" The boss asked in a soft voice .
"I… I'm not sure . " Xue Shao shook his head and looked at the guy nervously .
He knew something about this shop… and had to believe what he witnessed after the mysterious boss showed him some fantastic abilities .
But he was still curious, why did he come to such a weird place?
The only reason that made him calm him down was… it was not a horrible space, or a place with evil demons that had long horns and fangs shown in movies . Instead, this boss wore a scary mask, but looked very polite .
He treated his customers well, following the strictest rule and manner .
The boss and the servant girl--- Wan Zishan said she met a perfect woman, but he thought this woman should be called 'perfect' .
But just… a little bit cold .
"Not sure?"
Boss Luo thought for a while, "Customer, if you're not sure, we cannot start the trade . So, please think carefully, because it won't be changed once the deal starts . "
"May I know the price now?" Xue Shao asked calmly, "I won't sell my health, life, even my emotions or other things… I want to end the love with her, but I don't to cause any bad influence to my fiancée because of my selfishness . "
"You seem to love your fiancée very much . " Boss Luo nodded, "If so, why are you still bewildered with the past?"
Xue Shao bitterly smiled, "It's a hard and painful thing to forget one person… especially when you know you cannot achieve it and should love the next woman . "
"So you want a result?"
Xue Shao nodded, "Yeah, but if it will break my wedding or the life after marriage, I won't do it… so I need to know what the price is . "
"Well . " Boss Luo thought for a while, and said, "According to your request, there was only one thing that can be the transaction fee… that is your necklace . "
"Necklace?" Xue Shao gaped .
---'Keep the necklace and constantly bring me with you . "
Boss Luo nodded, "Right, the necklace is enough to meet your request . "
"You want an object that is important to me . " Xue Shao smiled bitterly, and suddenly sighed, "There's no such thing as a free lunch . I just want a result . No, I just want to break up with my past . So… let me give up everything belonging to the past . "
He took off the necklace and put it in front of the boss .
"No, you hold it for now . " Boss Luo said indifferently, "Let's sign the contract first . When the goods have been sent to you, we'll get away your necklace . "
"You…" Xue Shao nodded, "are fair at least . "
