In a two-bedroom apartment in Fu'an County, Gao Jingwen was sitting on the sofa, looking at her mother who was wiping tears because of Lu Yan's performance on TV, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Where has the time gone?

In the blink of an eye, it has been a year and a half since she went to the capital.

Under Lu Yan's care, I no longer have to worry about renting a house, my salary and position have been improved, and I have saved a lot of money.

Materially, I am rich, but emotionally, I have never achieved what I wanted.

As time goes by, I am getting older year by year, and I don’t know if I can hold on.

Holding the phone in hand, she returned to her room, clicked on a text message sent to Lu Yan, edited a few sentences, and wanted to send it. However, she deleted and rewritten it, and thought about it again and again...

Over at Lu Yan, the performance is over.

I walked down the stage, picked up the coat that was placed backstage, and went outside.

He took his cell phone and sent a message to Lu Tao, asking when he would come out.

But a text message came in first, from Mu Yunrong, congratulating him on the success of the show.

In the afternoon we called each other to say New Year greetings, so we just replied casually.

Immediately, I received another text message from Ruan Xiaoxiao, saying that I saw his performance and it was very good.

Then, Yang Mi, Tong Liya, Hu Ge, Bao Bufan, Chen Yishan, and even Li Chong all sent congratulatory messages.

After answering the messages one by one, I got on the car in the underground parking lot and soon saw two siblings, Lu Tao and Lu Xiuer, running and falling.

"Oh, brother, you're so handsome. When did you learn the piano? Your clothes don't match well. Everyone else wears suits when they play. You're wearing sportswear and you don't even need to change!" Lu Tao started to mutter as he got in the car.

.

The same goes for this girl Lu Xiuer, "Brother, do you have more time than us? You still have time to practice piano, that's awesome!"

Lu Yan started the car and said with a smile: "To put it another way, time is like water in a sponge, there will always be squeeze. You guys, you waste all kinds of things when you are young, you should regret it in the future!"

As he spoke, he quickly drove home.

When we got home, we exchanged greetings and didn't mention eating dumplings, but we talked about going back to our room.

I was lying on the bed scrolling through my phone, and there were several text messages.

One of them was posted by Gao Jingwen: "Where has the time gone? This is a good question. A person is immersed in his own world and cannot extricate himself. Walking alone in a metropolis, when he suddenly looks back, he realizes that many years have passed!"

No beginning, no end, no reason.

But Lu Yan knew what she was talking about, and he thought for a while before replying: "Yes, time is the most precious. What is lost cannot be undone. The most important thing is to live well in the present."

Otherwise, the time easily wasted now will be the past that will be regretted in the future."

Not long after, Gao Jingwen texted back again, "Haha, you are indeed a top student, what you said is so philosophical. When will you leave after the new year? Let's have dinner together when I get back!"

Lu Yan smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "The time has not yet been determined, just wait and let me know when you come back."

The other party responded well and ended the chat.

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year. After lunch, I feel like this year has passed.

On the third day of the third year of junior high school, Gao Jingwen sent a text message saying, "Is it convenient to pick her up on the train tonight?"

Lu Yan held the phone, hesitated for a while, and finally replied with a good word.

Early that morning, Lu Yan had breakfast and was about to go out. He said, "I'm going to stay at Star River Bay tonight and I won't be back!"

Zhang Xiulan said: "Are you busy with company matters so early?"

Lu Yan smiled: "Well, during the Chinese New Year, there are also group buying activities, go to the company and have a look!"

Lu Zhenshan said: "The child is old, why do you care so much!"

Zhang Xiulan said: "Aren't I worried about him eating?"

Lu Zhenshan snorted, "If you can't have a bite, you can go to a restaurant every day, right, son!"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "It's not as delicious as at home!" He immediately took the key and went out!

Zhang Xiulan said: "Look!"

Lu Zhenshan: "This kid!"

…

In fact, during the Spring Festival, the volume of group buying transactions is not large, because it is the peak season, and there is no time to increase prices. How can there be any discounts!

So after visiting Meituan’s Beijing branch, he returned to his house in Xinghe Bay.

In fact, compared to the villa in Jingxi, he still likes it here more and feels more cozy.

In the room, Lu Yan opened his notebook and wrote his graduate thesis on the research of lithography machines.

Some countries are really afraid that China will become stronger and will create obstacles for China in every aspect.

For example, the export of the most important photolithography equipment in chip manufacturing to China is strictly restricted.

Naturally, domestic companies also do research and development on their own, but the gap is relatively large.

Moreover, whenever there are some domestic research results, some are exported overseas to China, which severely dampens our enthusiasm for scientific research.

When it comes to the most advanced lithography equipment technology, Lu Yan's current system points cannot be redeemed. But some simpler theoretical papers are still much cheaper.

It is not easy to make various modifications, not only to ensure academic practicality, but also to match the scientific research environment and academic strength of Yangtze University.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening, so I put away my computer, put on my down jacket, and drove to the Beijing Railway Station.

Even though it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, the train station was still crowded.

Lu Yan put his car in the parking lot, put on a hat and mask, and entered the station to wait.

Not ten minutes later, Gao Jingwen sent a text message saying that she was leaving the station.

Lu Yan looked at the exit and saw groups of passengers walking out. He soon saw Gao Jingwen carrying a small schoolbag, wearing a light-colored scarf and a velvet hat to cover her ears.

I waved to him, who ran a few steps and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, come pick me up late at night!"

Lu Yan smiled: "It's okay, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat!"

"Okay, let's just eat instant noodles in the car!"

The two got in the car at the parking lot. Gao Jingwen took off her hat and scarf, revealing her red face, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, you missed me!"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Yes!"

He immediately started the car and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Gao Jingwen said: "If you want to have a bowl of pimple soup, let's go have barbecue!"

Lu Yan smiled: "Get in the car and get the dumplings out of the noodles. I'm looking for you to drink some noodle soup!"

Gao Jingwen smiled: "If you want to eat, just go home and I'll cook it for you!"

Lu Yan said: "I just said casually, I'm afraid eating barbecue will be bad for your stomach, so let's go, I'd better take you to satisfy your craving!"

As we were talking, we went to a barbecue restaurant a little far away from home. We didn't go directly to the neighborhood. This restaurant had a small private room with a partition. Although it was just plywood and cloth curtains, it was still somewhat shielded so as not to cause trouble.

After sitting down and ordering beef and mutton skewers, kidneys, oysters and squid, Gao Jingwen asked again, how was your Chinese New Year?

Lu Yan smiled: "That's it. You also know that family reunion during the New Year is a yearning for a better life. In my case, the New Year spirit has long since passed away!"

It is not difficult for Lu Yan to eat whatever he wants, wear what he wants, meet whom he wants, and get everyone together.
