You are my unforgettable sorrow

Chapter 750 Extra Finale: Loved Someone at the Wrong Time
Loved someone at the wrong time.
-
Country Y, Water City.

Behind the theater.

After today's performance was over and the violin was put away, Wan Jiaer couldn't help but sit down and rub her leg joints.

Probably because of the high humidity in the water city, and the fact that there have been a lot of performances recently, and she has regular high-intensity training every day, which made her feel a little sore there.

But I will be able to return to China in one day. Thinking of this, I heard a colleague say: "The performance is finally over, and there is still one day left. Do you think we should go out for a while, or come again. I don’t know when it will be? "

The voice of the proposer fell, and someone immediately echoed: "I heard that there are many beautiful bridges in Shuicheng, and each one is different. Anyway, it's fine in the afternoon. Shall we go out and have a look in a while?"

"Well, I can't wait to go out. I'm almost bored to death in the hotel every day."

After discussing with colleagues, someone gave Wan Jia'er an expectant look: "Jia'er, are you coming too?"

Wan Jia'er looked up at her, and answered her with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I'm a little tired, so I won't go with you, you guys have fun."

The colleague felt a little regretful: "Ah... Jia'er, you've been a little lazy lately, it's rare to come out to perform together, why don't you hang out with us?"

Wan Jia'er sighed, she didn't want to be pitied by her colleagues, but she really couldn't bring herself to go out: "No, I have played here before, and it just so happens that my feet are sore today and I don't really want to leave."

"Have you committed a sore foot again?" The colleague showed a worried expression.

"Well, it's nothing serious, you guys go play your games, I'll go back to the hotel to rest first."

After bidding farewell to her colleagues, Wan Jiaer walked back to the hotel alone.

I heard that Shuicheng is the only city in the world without cars. The air here is not polluted by car exhaust. It just so happens that today is a sunny day. Walking on the road, breathing in the fresh air, and looking at the unique scenery of Shuicheng along the way feels special.

The theater is only ten minutes away from the hotel, and it's a short walk away.

Every time the band goes out to perform, they will arrange for everyone to stay in the top hotels, and this time is no exception.

The lobby of this kind of hotel is generally very luxurious.

When Wan Jiaer walked towards the lobby and was about to take the elevator upstairs, a voice behind her suddenly stopped her: "Jiaer?"

Wan Jiaer was startled, followed the prestige, and then saw a tall and tall figure of a man.

For a second, she thought it was her own illusion, but when she saw the man's face clearly, her heart skipped a beat.

"Xu, Xu Yan." Why is he here?
Xu Yan also had a surprised expression on his face. He stepped in front of her and squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth stiffly: "I saw you passing by just now, and I thought I was wrong. It turned out that it was really you."

Wan Jiaer hadn't seen him for almost a year since the divorce. Even though they lived in the same city, she never imagined what it would be like if she saw him again one day?
Never thought it would be like this today.

In a foreign land, an unexpected time and place.

"Our orchestra is on tour here recently." Wan Jiaer smiled, after a long time no see, she tried to keep smiling: "What about you?"

"I'm here on a business trip." Xu Yan took a deep breath, then smiled slightly: "Come here and take some pictures."

He didn't elaborate on what he was photographing, and Wan Jiaer didn't intend to ask in detail.

Probably because of being in a foreign country, the two avoided talking about the things that broke up before. Instead, there was a complicated and long-lost emotion on their faces.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Yan slowly asked, "You... When will the performance end and when will you return to China?"

"The performance will end in the morning, and I will return to China early tomorrow morning." Wan Jiaer said with a smile, "What about you?"

"Oh, I just came here." Something similar to loss appeared on Xu Yan's face, but it was fleeting, "It may take a month before I go back."

"Oh." The corner of Wan Jia'er's mouth twitched, and suddenly she didn't know what to say next.

Originally, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land is a very gratifying thing. According to normal people's thinking, they might even hug each other. calm.

For her, time is really the best medicine to forget everything.

She thought of all the past more than once, and also regretted her impulsiveness and selfishness back then.

But when she wanted to recall some at this moment, she suddenly felt that those memories began to become blurred.

The two faced each other, and after each of them were stunned for a moment, Wan Jiaer took the lead and said, "You should also stay in this hotel, hurry up, they seem to be waiting for you."

When he said this, Wan Jiaer glanced behind him unconsciously, behind him were several colleagues who he had worked with before, standing there waiting for him.

"Yeah." Xu Yan pursed his lips and nodded, "Then you..."

"I'm going upstairs too, go back to the room early to pack my luggage." Wan Jiaer interrupted him.

The words in Xu Yan's mouth were swallowed back in his stomach immediately: "Okay, then... goodbye."

"Goodbye." Wan Jiaer smiled.

Then turn around.

Goodbye, maybe never see you again?

……

In the hotel room, Wan Jiaer made an internal call to order a lunch, then changed into a set of casual clothes, and then went into the bathroom to remove her makeup.

Women love beauty, and she is no exception.

A woman looks like a person who pleases herself, but she doesn't know when, she found that she has returned to liking the appearance of wearing a bare face.

Seems like it started when she was pregnant?
Although the child was not born in the end, since then, she has developed the habit of not wearing makeup on weekdays.

Band performances usually require heavy makeup, but every time the performance is over, she can't wait to wash it off.

Looking at the clean and unobstructed look on her face, she seemed to have found her truest self again.

After removing the makeup, the doorbell for the waiter in the room to deliver the food just rang.

After the waiter put the lunch on the table, Wan Jiaer took out her mobile phone and enjoyed her lunch while scrolling through Moments.

A few colleagues who said they were going out to play were also having lunch outside at the moment, and many of them posted about eating delicious food in Moments.

Wan Jiaer liked them one by one, and then a WeChat message from a colleague and friend suddenly came from the mobile phone: [Jiaer, do you regret not coming out with us to play, the food here is really good. 】

Wan Jiaer glanced down at her cold plate, took a photo and sent it to her colleagues: [The one here is also very good. 】

……

After enjoying lunch, Wan Jiaer continued to check her mobile phone on the sofa in the room for a while, and then fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up again, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. I slowly got up, and after turning on the music, I packed my luggage.

At this time, the voice of a message came from the mobile phone.

Wan Jiaer originally thought it was a photo sent back to her by her colleagues playing outside, but unexpectedly discovered that it was a message sent to her by Xu Yan: [Are you free now, do you want to go out for a stroll together? 】

On weekdays, she regularly cleans up WeChat messages, and usually deletes the chat records that she will not use for a long time, but she has never deleted the dialog box for chatting with Xu Yan before.

It was a year ago that he sent this message today, when they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through divorce procedures together.

That day, she sent him a message, agreeing on a time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he replied to her: [OK]

After nearly a year of no contact, she even thought that she would never have anything to do with him again in this life, but she didn't expect not only to meet him in a hotel in a foreign country today, but he even asked her to go out for a stroll together.

Holding the phone, Wan Jiaer couldn't help but fell into deep thought. When she recalled her thoughts after a while, her fingertips hesitated in the dialog box, writing, deleting and deleting several times, and finally made up a word to reply: [OK]

……

The most visible thing behind the front door of this city is water.

Water has also become the most developed channel for transportation here.

The two met at the entrance of the hotel at an agreed time, took a boat directly after going out, and started wandering aimlessly in various waterways in the city.

After a long time no see, Wan Jiaer noticed that Xu Yan was a little thinner than before.

Probably because of the frequent outdoor shooting recently, it is also darker than the impression.

However, the overall mental state seems to give people a very full and hearty feeling.

This reminded her of four years ago.

At that time, she, Xu Yan, and Ye Qianning had just graduated from university.

The three agreed to go on a graduation trip together.

At that time, the location chosen for the trip was the water city in Country Y.

Four years later, when she set foot on this land again, she never thought that she would meet Xu Yan, and she would go on a boat with him just like four years ago.

It's just that people are different.

While thinking, Xu Yan murmured to himself: "The weather is fine today."

"Well, it's pretty good." When she said this, Wan Jiaer subconsciously raised her head and looked at the sky.

The sky in Shuicheng in the afternoon is rarely so bright. The light shines on the water and reflects on people's faces, making people feel a little dazed when looking at the things in front of them.

"Remember that we also came here to play once four years ago?" Xu Yan smiled, and then his eyes fell on the surrounding scenery: "Nothing has changed here."

Wan Jiaer was taken aback, she thought she was the only one who missed four years ago.

Four years ago, he was Ye Qianning's boyfriend, and it was supposed to be their graduation trip, but Ye Qianning didn't know that she also liked Xu Yan at that time, so he insisted on dragging her along.

Thinking about it now, from that time on, she had a lot of careful thoughts about Xu Yan in her heart.

"Do you still remember what happened four years ago?" Wan Jiaer sighed with emotion.

"Yeah." Xu Yan's eyes stayed elsewhere, and then moved to her face after a while.

The two looked at each other at this moment, and something like regret flashed across his face.

Then he laughed and said, "That was our graduation trip, how could I forget?"

Wan Jiaer couldn't help sighing, that trip was quite unforgettable.

At least for her, it will never be forgotten in her life.

During the few days of traveling, she had to be fed a lot of dog food by the two of them every day, but she was very content.

Although I couldn't express my heart to him at that time, following him every day and watching his back was a kind of happiness.

It's just that the kind of happiness that was to her at that time, in retrospect now, I always feel that it was not fair enough, and it even made her feel guilty...

The boat approached slowly on the water, and after passing a building, another small bridge appeared in front of it.

Xu Yan suddenly pointed to the bridge, and asked with some resentment in his eyes: "This bridge has a name, do you know what it is called?"

Wan Jia'er froze for a moment, then glanced in the direction his finger was going: "I don't know, what's it called?"

"It's called the Bridge of Sighs." A self-deprecating look flashed across Xu Yan's plain face, and he explained after a while: "I heard that this is the only way to go to the prison. Prisoners often repent and sigh when crossing the bridge, hence the name. For the Bridge of Sighs."

Confession and sigh...

Wan Jiaer couldn't help but look back to his face.

At this time, he was sitting opposite her, and the sun was shining directly on his face.

Under the light, the facial features on his face are particularly three-dimensional, and the texture on the skin is clearly visible.

During the time of marriage, she woke up more than once in the middle of the night and secretly looked at him closely, and it was also because only at that time he could lie quietly beside her and in front of her like a well-behaved and quiet child.

But in the past, even when he was sleeping, his brows were always frowning. She knew that it was because even when he was asleep, he was still worried about why she was the person lying next to him.

But now that she divorced him and he has regained his freedom, why can't she see relaxation and stretching on his face?
When he introduced the name of the bridge, she could even feel the obvious regret and regret floating on his face.

Could it be that there is still something that makes him feel uncomfortable?
When her gaze stayed on Xu Yan's face, he suddenly turned to look at her.

When the two looked at each other again, Xu Yan didn't move away immediately this time, but impatiently curled the corner of his lower lip and smiled at her.

Wan Jiaer gave him a smiling expression, and looked away naturally.

In the afternoon, the two of them swam in various rivers in the city by boat for nearly two hours. When they landed in front of the hotel, Xu Yan suggested: "After wandering around for so long, do you want to have something to eat together?"

"No, I made an appointment with my colleagues to have dinner together in the evening." Wan Jiaer said, although there was no dinner in the evening.

But after spending two hours with him, she felt that it was long enough.

With their current relationship, she didn't feel the need to have another dinner together.

"Well, that's fine." Xu Yan didn't force it, and smiled with the corner of his mouth raised, "Then... goodbye."

"En." Wan Jiaer smiled, and started to leave.

At this time Xu Yan suddenly stopped her again: "Jia'er."

"Ok?"

"I'm going back to China in a month. When I go back to China, give me a chance to treat you to a meal, okay?" Xu Yan said.

Wan Jiaer was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he offered to invite her to dinner.

Without much time to think, she replied with one word: "OK."

PS:

When creating the role of Wan Jiaer, I never thought of writing her as a bad woman. On the contrary, I think she should be a very tragic character.

Probably because she had endured it for too many years, so when an opportunity came up that might let her go to Xu Yan's side, she seized it without hesitation.

Her "one bravery" also caused her to make a mistake that was not forgiven by her friends, but she later paid the due price for it.

There are not many descriptions of her in the text, but the obsession with this character in my heart makes me feel that I owe her an extra episode, so I will add it here.
