Han Mingji was thinking about the agreement he had made with Rogge tonight, and it was getting late indeed. He wanted to go back.
Today Han Ming was also in a playful mood, so he went crazy with this woman.
I'm used to living a stressful and dangerous life, so it's good to switch things up once in a while.
Seeing that it was getting later and later, Han Ming wiped his mouth and looked at the plate of the woman opposite him. The food was almost untouched.
Basically, I only tasted one bite of each plate and went through it half-heartedly.
Han Ming didn't care either. Han Ming had personally experienced how good the food this kind of woman usually ate was.
I'm afraid she may not be able to accept a roadside stall like this for a while. And today, it was just out of curiosity that she messed around with her.
"Walk."
Han Ming paid the bill and walked slowly along the road.
The woman followed Han Ming quietly, tilting her head from time to time to look at Han Ming's profile, looking very curious.
Han Ming felt a little unnatural when the woman looked at him, so he smiled and said, "Is there something dirty on my face?" In fact, he had nothing to say, and he was still wearing a mask.
The woman shook her head slightly: "It's very noisy here. Why do you like the slums?"
Han Ming smiled slightly and did not explain.
The two of them walked slowly side by side on the road, and the woman couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
Han Ming's mind was already a little wandering at this time, as if he was on the earth, walking along the bustling street with his buddies and friends, laughing and joking all the way.
But at that time, Han Ming never stopped to enjoy such a rare night view.
I have never noticed how beautiful and nostalgic the night in my hometown is.
Even with the flashing neon lights and the laughter of family and friends, Han Ming never felt that there was anything special about it.
I just feel that these are all things that should be done and taken for granted.
They don’t know how to cherish, and they don’t know how to enjoy.
Maybe people are like this. They spend too long in happiness, and they often forget how hard-won everything they have is.
I have never thought that if one day all of these are lost, whether I will be in a strange corner, silently recalling every bit of the past.
But now Han Ming understands it very well, better than anyone else.
Those memories of the past, bits and pieces of the past, are his most precious wealth, and he must often take them out to savor and appreciate them carefully.
But there is a bit more sourness and helplessness in it.
If possible, Han Ming would rather not have the so-called strength, the so-called high rank, and the life span of hundreds or even thousands of years.
I just hope that I can get a chance to live another reincarnation in my hometown.
Han Ming pointed at the passers-by and the various storefronts, and asked softly: "What do you think of all this?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "It's nothing. These things and people are always here, and they have always been like this."
"Um."
Han Ming nodded slightly and said: "Perhaps everything here is too normal for you.
Sometimes you are even too lazy to observe and see this place that is not in line with your world.
In your world, you have endless money and wealth, as well as countless people who support you and chase you.
You can look down at it all from a high place, but if one day, these people and things are all gone.
You are only standing on your high building, sitting on all your wealth, while the bottom is empty, like a dead city.
How will you feel at that time?
Even then or now, you will not come down easily, everything here has nothing to do with you."
When the woman heard this, she lowered her head and thought quietly for a while, then replied: "That's not good.
If these are gone, even if I own the whole world, what's the use?"
Han Ming chuckled.
The woman was about to ask Han Ming why he was laughing, but suddenly his body trembled slightly and he lowered his head thoughtfully.
The two of them walked slowly side by side on the street, neither one urging the other to walk faster, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Han Ming didn't know this woman, or even who she was, but just like this, facing a complete stranger, it was impossible for the two people's worlds to intersect at all.
But just like these two people who could never know each other, now they are walking together, and both of them seem to feel relaxed.
Frankly speaking, this woman's temperament is really good. She is one of the most normal and serious women Han Ming has ever seen. But Han Ming has no idea about her. Even in Han Ming's eyes,
There is no gender distinction at all with this woman.
"I'm having a bad time."
The woman seemed to be talking to Han Ming, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
"I am busy with my career and various social activities all day long. Among the people I meet, no one is sincere to me.
I only speak a few words when meeting people. Although I don't wear a mask, I never take off the mask in my heart.
I don't know why this happened. I once wanted to strive for my own happiness and pursue what I wanted.
And now, I have all these, but I don't know why, but I feel lonelier than before.
I once boldly tried to turn back and live a life that was entirely my own, but I knew it was impossible.
Nothing can go back. Even if I can walk on this street with you now, I know that this place does not belong to me, and I do not belong here."
Han Ming murmured to himself: "I am lonelier than before...
In a person's life, he will encounter many situations that he cannot choose, forcing him to move forward without being able to stop.
But there is only one thing that we can choose, and that is the path we want to take.
There is no easier choice than this, but there is no choice harder than this.
I can't choose, just because I don't dare. Because I can't let go.
I once had a lot of things, including family and love. But at that time, I only knew that I had responsibilities on my shoulders, which I could not let go of.
So I must move forward.
To be honest, there was a time when I thought these were all my burdens and burdens that were blocking my progress.
But now, everything I own is gone, and the things I take for granted have been forcibly dragged out of my world.
I finally realized that there is nothing that I can’t really let go of.”
The woman seemed to agree with Han Ming's words and asked cautiously in a low voice: "Do you have any regrets?"
Han Ming nodded sadly: "I do!
There was once a woman who loved me very much. But because of the so-called responsibilities that belonged to me, I did not promise anything to her.
I didn't live a good life for even one day just for her.
Later, the two of us had to be separated by life and death. But even at that time, she said she loved me.
But I didn't say "I love you".
Now I am getting farther and farther in my own responsibilities and so-called career, and I am getting closer and closer to my own goals.
But I'm not happy, even though I know I can't let go of these responsibilities.
But if it were really possible, if I could use all the rest of my life to bring her back to life, even if it was just for a second.
I am willing too, even if both of us die in the next second.
I also want to say to her the words I didn't have time to say.
I love you forever."
The woman's eye circles were a little red and she quickly turned her head away.
"Oh, I think that woman must be very happy. If her soul in heaven can hear your words, everything will be worth it."
The woman wiped her cheek gently and sighed: "Are you willing to listen to my story?"
Han Ming shook his head slowly: "Although I know this is rude, I still forget it.
I have endured too many things in my life. With my personality, it is difficult for me to ignore some things that make me sympathize.
I’m really sorry.”
The woman's face was slightly disappointed, but then she laughed again: "It doesn't matter, you and I are strangers.
Listening to your words and your stories has benefited me a lot. Really, at such an old age, I have always been working hard to move forward.
No one has ever said such a thing to me. I think it’s time for me to think about my own life.”
For the next time, both of them were silent.
Through that building, you slowly ascended to the upper world.
Heading towards the club, Rogge had already left the banquet and was standing outside the club waiting for Han Ming.
The woman tilted her head slightly and whispered, "Let's say goodbye here."
"Yes." Han Ming nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and said, "Choose your own life. Don't leave any regrets. I hope you can live a good life."
The woman smiled: "Thank you very much today. I am really happy. I have experienced an experience that I have never experienced before.
Will we meet again in the future? Will you come to this club again?"
Han Ming shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards Rogge: "I'm afraid not." dd
