In 1988, I rode my bicycle through the bustling streets of the chief. It was a sunny day, the sky was blue, and the sun was shining on the earth, giving people a warm feeling. The chief sat in the back seat and said a few words to me from time to time.
Suddenly, a beautiful girl broke into my sight. She was dressed in a white dress and her long hair was flowing like an angel. I couldn't help but look at her a few more times, but at the moment I turned my head, the bike lost control and almost hit an old man.
"Xiao Li, be careful when riding!" The chief reminded me with a frown.
"I'm sorry, chief!" I smiled awkwardly, but I couldn't calm down. The girl's figure was engraved on my heart like a brand.
As the days passed, I found myself missing that beautiful girl more and more. Finally, I made up my mind and started looking for her. I rode my bicycle through the streets of the city, but it was as if she had disappeared without a trace.
On this day, I was cycling past a park and suddenly noticed a familiar figure. It's her! I excitedly jumped out of the car and ran towards her.
"Hello, I think we've met." I said with some nervousness.
She looked at me and smiled slightly: "Yes, you almost hit me that day on the street." ”
We sat on a park bench and started talking. Her name is Xiaofang and she is a teacher. We talked a lot and found out that we had a lot in common with each other. When we parted, we left each other's contact details.
Since then, I've been looking for opportunities to meet with Xiaofang every day. We had many happy times together. However, fate inadvertently gave me a heavy blow.
That day, I received an assignment that required me to travel urgently. I hesitated for a long time, but finally made up my mind to tell Xiaofang.
"Xiaofang, I have something to tell you." I looked at her nervously.
She smiled and asked me, "What's the matter?" ”
"I ...... I'm going to be on a business trip for a while, probably ...... It may be a long time before it comes back. I said with difficulty.
Xiao Fang's smile froze on her face, she was silent for a long time, and finally said softly, "Then can we meet again?" ”
I squeezed her hand tightly: "Definitely!" When I come back, we'll get married. ”
And just like that, I embarked on a business trip. However, the trip turned out to be much longer than I had imagined. During this time, I experienced many twists and turns, and even nearly lost my life several times. But I always have a firm faith, because I promised Xiaofang that I would go back and marry her.
Finally, after a year, I completed my mission and returned to the city. I couldn't wait to find Xiaofang, only to find that she had already moved away. I went crazy and asked around about her whereabouts, but to no avail.
Time flies, and thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye. I have become a gray-haired old man. And Xiaofang has always been an unforgettable pain in my heart.
On this day, I was walking alone on the street when I suddenly saw a familiar figure. It's her! I ran over excitedly, only to find that there was another one by her side.
"Xiaofang......" I choked in my throat and couldn't speak.
She looked at me with tears in her eyes: "You're finally back." ”
We looked at each other and smiled, knowing in our hearts that there was no going back to those good times. But I am still grateful to fate that at some point in my life, I met such a beautiful love.

On the street where we met, Xiaofang and I stood quietly, each other's smiles carrying the vicissitudes of time. Her husband, a mild, middle-aged man, stood aside, his eyes revealing concern for his wife.
"Who is this?" He asked politely.
"An old friend." Xiao Fang replied softly, and then introduced to me, "This is my husband, Teacher Chen. ”
After a few brief pleasantries, Mr. Chen walked away and left us with some personal space. I looked at Xiaofang, with a thousand words in my heart, but I didn't know where to start.
"How are you doing?" I finally spoke.
Xiao Fang nodded slightly: "It's good, what about you?" ”
"I'm fine." I tried my best to make my voice sound steady, "It's just that I often think of the old days." ”
Xiao Fang smiled, and a trace of remembrance flashed in her eyes: "At that time, we were really happy. ”
We found a nearby café and sat down and continued to chat. It turned out that not long after I went on a business trip, Xiaofang moved to the other side of the city for work reasons, and then met Mr. Chen and started a new life.
"You know what, I went to look for you once." Xiao Fang whispered, "But I heard that you went to a far away place, so I didn't bother again." ”
A warm current welled up in my heart, it turned out that she had also worked hard for me.
"Xiaofang, actually, I ......" my throat tightened a little, "I always wanted to say sorry to you, but I couldn't keep my promise back then." ”
Xiao Fang shook her head: "It's all over, we have all found our own lives." You should be happy for me. ”
We chatted for a long time until the café closed. When parting, Xiaofang took out a small box from her bag and handed it to me: "This is the necklace you gave me back then, and I have always kept it." ”
I opened the box, and inside was a silver necklace that was already a little old. I held it in my hand as if I had returned to that sunny afternoon.
In the days that followed, I often remembered the reunion with Xiaofang. I realized that even though we missed each other, that wonderful memory was still worth cherishing.
One day, I received a letter. The envelope bears Xiaofang's name. I couldn't wait to open it, and inside was an invitation. Xiao Fang and Ms. Chen invited me to their golden wedding celebration.
When I came to the ceremony, Xiao Fang greeted me with a smile on her face wearing an elegant dress. Mr. Chen also greeted me warmly.
At the celebration, the three of us sat together and talked about the past. I looked at Xiaofang and Teacher Chen's loving appearance, and my heart was full of emotion. Although we couldn't get together, at this moment, I only have blessings in my heart.
After the golden wedding celebration, I walked home alone. The stars twinkled in the night sky, and I took out the silver necklace and said softly, "Xiaofang, I wish you happiness." ”
At that moment, I understood that some love does not necessarily need to be had, as long as it has been had, it is enough. And I will continue to move forward with this beautiful memory.

Time is like flowing water, fleeting. Since Xiaofang's golden wedding celebration, my life seems to have returned to peace. However, the memory of Xiaofang in the depths of my heart can never be erased.
One day, I received a strange letter. There was no signature on the envelope, only my address. Puzzled, I opened the envelope, revealing a photograph inside. In the photo, it is a young woman with a bright smile, it is Xiaofang. On the back of the photo, there is a line of words: "To former friends, to commemorate our lost youth." ”
Looking at this photo, an inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart. I decided to go to Xiaofang to ask about the meaning of this letter.
When I came to Xiaofang's house again, I found that she had already moved. Neighbors told me that Teacher Chen had unfortunately passed away, and Xiaofang was heartbroken and left the city.
I was stunned. It turned out that in my peaceful life, Xiaofang has experienced such a big change. I can't imagine how she could have endured this grief alone.
I started asking around about Fang's whereabouts. After a lot of twists and turns, I finally learned that she had returned to her hometown, a small town far away.
I immediately packed my bags and set out on a journey to find Xiaofang. The town is picturesque, quiet and peaceful. I stayed at a small hotel in the town and started looking.
In the evening, I met an old man with gray hair on the streets of the town. He told me that Xiaofang lived in an old house on the other side of town.
I followed the old man's instructions and found the old house. In the courtyard, an old figure was busy. It's Xiao Fang. Her back was a little bent, but she still had that grace.
"Xiao Fang." I whispered.
She looked up and saw me, a flash of surprise in her eyes. I stepped forward and held her hand tightly: "I'm coming." ”
We sat down in the courtyard and talked about the changes over the years. Xiaofang told me that after Ms. Chen died, she returned to her hometown and wanted to spend the rest of her life here.
"Did you send me this picture?" I pulled out that picture.
Xiao Fang nodded: "Yes, I want you to know that I always remember our past." ”
I looked at her with emotion. The years have left marks on her face, but her eyes are still bright.
"Xiaofang, are you doing well here?" I asked with concern.
She smiled and replied, "It's good, here are my childhood memories and the shadow of Teacher Chen." I'm already satisfied. ”
We had a wonderful afternoon in the town. When parting, I held Xiaofang's hand: "If you need me, feel free to tell me." ”
Xiao Fang smiled and nodded: "Thank you, my friend." ”
Back to life in the city, I started to be busy again. But in the dead of night, I always think of Xiaofang and our lost youth.
Soon after, I received a letter. The envelope bears Xiaofang's name. I opened the envelope and inside was an invitation. Xiaofang invited me to participate in her exhibition.
When I came to the exhibition, I was fascinated by the paintings. The woman in the painting is Xiao Fang. Her paintings show the story of her life, those joys, sorrows, good times.
In the corner of the exhibition, I saw Xiao Fang. She was dressed in a plain cheongsam and beckoned to me with a smile. I walked over and held her hand tightly: "Congratulations, Xiaofang. ”
She smiled and replied, "Thank you, my friend." These paintings are my memories of the past and my hopes for the future. ”
We stood in the center of the exhibition, looking at the paintings, and our hearts were filled with emotion. Although we can't turn back the clock, we can choose to cherish the present and face the future bravely.

After the exhibition, Xiaofang invited me to live in her small town for a while and experience the peaceful life there. I readily agreed, full of anticipation.
Life in the town is quiet and simple, and in the morning, I am awakened by the chirping of birds; At night, the breeze under the stars makes me feel refreshed. Xiaofang and I walked around the town together, chatting about the past and reminiscing about our youth.
One day, we were walking by the lake in the town, and Xiaofang suddenly stopped and looked at the lake thoughtfully.
"Xiao Li, do you remember the first time we met?" She asked softly.
I smiled and replied, "Of course I remember, you were wearing a white dress and your long hair was flowing like an angel. ”
Xiao Fang smiled, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes: "How young we were at that time." ”
We continued walking along the lake and suddenly found a small café by the lake. We walked in and sat down by the window.
We were warmly welcomed by the proprietress of the café, who told us that the café has been open for decades and is the most characteristic part of the town.
We ordered two cups of coffee, Xiao Fang looked out the window, and said thoughtfully, "Xiao Li, do you know? I've always wanted to open a bookstore here. ”
I looked at her in amazement: "Really? That's great! I can help you. ”
Xiao Fang looked at me, a flash of gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, my friend." ”
From that day on, Xiaofang and I began to prepare the bookstore. We found an abandoned warehouse and transformed it into a small world full of books.
On the day the bookstore opened, the townspeople came. Xiao Fang stood at the door of the bookstore, greeting every guest with a smile on her face. I looked at her with pride in my heart.
The bookstore business is gradually improving, and people from the town like to come here to read and chat. Xiaofang and I had a wonderful time in the bookstore.
However, the good times were short-lived. One day, Xiaofang suddenly fell ill. Doctors diagnosed her with a rare disease that required long-term treatment.
I stayed by Xiaofang's side and took care of her daily life. We encourage each other to face the pain of illness together.
After a period of treatment, Xiaofang's condition gradually stabilized. She told me that she wanted to hold an art exhibition in the bookstore to showcase her work over the years.
I looked at her with emotion. Xiaofang, this strong woman, has always maintained her love for life.
On the day of the exhibition, people from the town came. Xiao Fang stood in the center of the exhibition, smiling and greeting every audience. I looked at her with admiration.
After the exhibition, Xiaofang's physical condition was getting better and better. We decided to spend the rest of our lives together in the small town and spend the days ahead together.
The years are like a song, and we are getting old. But in the small town, we still maintain that love of life. Whenever the night comes, we will always sit together in front of the window, looking at the starry sky, reminiscing about the lost youth.
Xiaofang, the woman who has accompanied me through the wind and rain, made me understand the preciousness of life. In this peaceful town, we found our own happiness.
