Ji Yi received a mass email in the second week after arriving in Hong Kong.
The title is: Farewell to our eternal monitor.
She had never opened this email, and the unread emails were sealed in the deepest part of the QQ mailbox with nostalgia for the optimistic and cheerful boy. Will not delete, nor dare to open.
Summer of 2005.
Ji Yi ended her one-year study life as an exchange student at the University of Hong Kong. Before leaving, she and her classmates went to Tsim Sha Tsui to wander around. More than a dozen of them were wearing white T-shirts, blue trousers and carrying backpacks. Because their classmates came from various countries, they all communicated in English. When Ji Yi walked to the dock, he saw an ice cream truck and bought a box. .
The sun was scorching, and she sat in the shade of the corridor on the shore.
Orange ice, dug up and eaten in her mouth, one year away, and one year away she will graduate from university.
Her cell phone is ringing, too lazy to listen.
Until the caller had walked behind her, watched her lower her head, slowly digging in one bite, it seemed that she was eating very slowly, and by the way it was held on the tip of her tongue to cool off.
"Sisi."
She was taken aback and looked back.
Wang Haoran was playing with the phone in his hand, looking at her helplessly: "I said, I want to call you at this time, why don't you answer it?" Ji Yi has obviously forgotten this "say", very I am embarrassed to smile: "It's too hot, I'm a little confused."
Wang Haoran happened to be in Hong Kong. Knowing that she was going back to Beijing, she made an appointment and wanted to take her to Hong Kong.
In fact, there is no special place to play. Ji Yi thought for a while and said, let’s go to see dolphins and giant pandas. I think this little girl is very painful, and I have been thinking about it for so many years without realizing it. During this period, I didn't dare to get too close. I was afraid that the age gap would scare this little girl. At most, I mentioned the temptation of Lolita with Ji Chengyang.
Ji Yi and her classmates gave a brief explanation, and Wang Haoran called for a rental to Ocean Park. After coming here for a year, she never revisited this journey, the journey with Ji Chengyang that year. When they made the cable car to the top of the mountain, it was just close to twelve o'clock, which was the time for the dolphin show.
Based on the memory of the last time, Ji Yi took Wang Haoran to run to catch the dolphins. He forgot the people behind him when he ran all the way. When he was panting and standing at the top of the stands, the dolphins happened to be in the music. Jumping out of the water during the climax, the audience burst into a huge cheer of joy.
She stared at the dolphin without blinking, and tried to find the place where she and Ji Chengyang had sat. After so long, she could recognize it immediately based on the impression.
There, under the scorching sun, it was empty.
nobody.
She can even remember being held by Ji Chengyang back then, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes behind her, she walked into the sun, unable to open her eyes, just sitting on a seat that was hot by the sun...
My eyes are sore, I want to cry.
Or... already crying
She touched her face and quietly wiped away tears.
No one knows the deep feelings in my heart, and only she remembers everything.
The top of her head was suddenly covered by a hat, and an ice cream was peeled off the paper and handed it to her. Wang Haoran specially bought her a bright pink sun hat with Ocean Park letters, plus an ice cream to cool down the heat. He smiled: "It's too sun-dried here, don't wear a hat, I'm really afraid you will get sunstroke."
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared before her eyes.
She took the ice cream and ate it with her head down.
"I remember one thing," Wang Haoran looked at the dolphin and said slowly, as if he was in a very good mood. "Ji Chengyang is married. It is said to be a battlefield wedding. It is really romantic."
She looked up blankly.
The tears fell suddenly.
The pain in her chest, body, temples, and eyes spread all over her body instantly. This kind of pain made her afraid of breathing.
"What's the matter?" Wang Haoran was originally watching the performance, feeling that she had no sound, but when she turned around, she saw tears on her face and scary red eyes. She was so frightened that she held her shoulder and asked, "Sixi? What's the matter? ?"

Philadelphia, United States
In the house where Ji Chengyang lived on the other side of the ocean, there was an email sent from Ji Chengyang's mailbox to a series of designated mailboxes. The content was simple and clear: married, don't hang it. Ji Chengyang
As of today, the owner of this mailbox has been missing in the battlefield for two full years.
Since his disappearance, the one who sent the mail,
He has been his classmate and friend for many years.
Three people have lived in this room. Except for the financial reporter who has stayed here so far, the remaining two anti-war activists have disappeared during the Iraq War. Both of them went to Iraq as special reporters for a media, but they repeatedly After being prevented from interviewing, he decided to resign from his official status and went to the hinterland of Iraq and around Baghdad as a freelance journalist.
Since then, there has been no news.
This entrusted person continued to deal with follow-up matters based on the confession made by the two before they left.
The Iraq War was a war that bypassed the UN Security Council, and it was an illegal war in a true sense.
Since the outbreak of the 2003 war, as of May 2005, two journalists of Iraqi nationality were hijacked and killed by unidentified militants. The number of journalists killed in the country has reached one hundred. As of August 2005, the number of deaths of journalists in this war has exceeded the total number of deaths of journalists in the two decades of the Vietnam War.
My dear friend,
Although no one will remember your name,
But you guys,
Is the true uncrowned king.
