"When are you leaving?" Song Shichen walked out of the elevator with a hint of resentment in his tone. He was stood up on his first date and was in a bad mood.

He spoke slowly, his words were clearly pronounced, his tone was a bit drawn out, and there was a hint of imperceptible grievance in his voice.

The game had just started, and it might not be appropriate to leave suddenly. Shen Wanyi had to soften his tone and said, "I'll leave soon..."

She was about to say something when she heard the sound of a car starting up from the other end of the phone. "You're coming over?" The tone couldn't conceal her surprise.

Xiu's bony hands were resting on the steering wheel, with shallow veins on the back of his hands. Song Shichen heard the disbelief in the woman's tone, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"

Shen Wanyi realized that his tone was too abrupt, "No, I'll come out as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, she told Du Qiuqiu, who was watching the game intently beside her, about running away. Du Qiuqiu only had eyes for the game, so she reminded her to be careful on the road and continued to watch the basketball game.

Shen Wanyi bent down slightly and walked from the middle seat to the back row, then quietly slipped away. She was relieved when she reached the hospital gate. This was the first time she left early, and she felt inexplicably guilty.

Vehicles were passing by on the road, the green light came on, and she was about to cross the road when she saw a familiar figure walking towards her through the bustling crowd on both sides.

There were so many people crossing the road, and unfamiliar faces came into view. He was submerged in the crowd, but she could find his figure accurately among them.

When there were only ten seconds left on the green light, she gave up the idea of ​​crossing the road and stood still. Just at this moment, Song Shichen came towards her and the red light behind him slowly lit up.

The man's cold expression was tinged with tenderness when he saw the person in front of him. He naturally took the woman's cold hand and asked, "Just came out?"

"Yeah." Shen Wanyi let him hold her hand. Their palms were pressed together. She felt the warmth from the touch, and ripples appeared in her heart.

The two walked hand in hand on the road. The ground was covered with leaves blown down by the wind. Most of them were dark green, with a few golden leaves occasionally. They overlapped layer by layer, and the wind blew them down and scattered them everywhere.

Shen Wanyi looked at the leaves on the tree that were quietly turning golden. Time passed so quickly. Before she knew it, it had been almost half a year since she returned to Yuncheng. So many things had happened in the past six months, and everything was gone.

During this time, she has grown a lot and her temperament has gradually become calmer. She no longer thinks about the future. At least now is good. Autumn is a good season.

...

Walking through the long corridor, Song Shichen pushed open the door of the private room and the furnishings of the room came into view. When he saw the people drinking tea at the mahogany table, he couldn't help but smile, "Senior Brother, you came really early."

"Just arrived a while ago." Yang Junzhi picked up the elegant white porcelain cup on the table, smelled the hot steam from the cup, took a deep breath, tasted it carefully, and showed a satisfied look. "Top-quality West Lake Longjing, the taste is just right."

Song Shichen took Shen Wanyi to a seat, and she nodded politely to Yang Junzhi, "Lawyer Yang, thank you for the last case."

The slender hands held up the white porcelain cups and drank tea instead of wine to express their gratitude. The two cups clinked together, making a crisp sound.

Yang Junzhi smiled meaningfully and said, "I don't deserve it. I just did my best. It's not worth mentioning."

"How long do you plan to stay abroad?" Song Shichen took a sip of tea from the white porcelain cup. The fragrance of the tea lingered in his mouth. He opened his mouth slowly and raised his eyes to look at the person opposite him who was turning the Buddhist beads on his wrist.

"It's hard to say, maybe a few months, maybe a year or two. I'm used to being free and easy. I've been in Yuncheng for a few years. It's time to change the environment. While I'm still young, I should go out more often to avoid regrets in the future."

Yang Junzhi stopped turning the Buddhist beads in his hands and looked at the night view outside the window. The lights were on, neon lights dotted the skyline, and the stars outlined the contours of the buildings, like a dream.

He was only in his early thirties, but when he said this, there was a sense of vicissitudes in his voice, as if he had experienced half a century of ups and downs and was sighing as he recalled the past.

"Be safe. Call me if you have anything." Song Shichen respected his decision. The two of them smiled at each other and clinked their glasses.

Having known each other for many years, he knew Yang Junzhi's personality and knew that it was difficult to change his decision, so he did not try to persuade him. Everyone has different choices, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong.
