Five years ago, in order to escape from Li Chong, Wang Nan left the north in autumn and never came back. Now, in autumn, he is back. When the car is getting closer and closer to the north, those memories that have disappeared come back to me. Along the way, the leaves outside the window changed from dark green to light yellow, and the air changed from wet to dry. Everything seems to be yesterday, and nothing has changed. In fact, everything has changed. Wang Nan has passed Qianshan and can't go back.
In the north of October, the poplar leaves on both sides of the road have turned yellow, and the sun shines on the windows through the mottled shadows. Wang Nan rolled down his window and let the wind blow in his face. He really likes the autumn in the north, the birch forest in autumn, the withered poplar leaves on both sides of the road, the transparent sunshine, the blue sky, the cool autumn wind, and walking in the sun wrapped in a wide sweater in the crisp autumn weather. Those days in memory are so clear, but so far away, and the days in memory are gone forever.
Another important reason why Wang Nan likes autumn is that he knows that Li Chong is also autumn. Ten years, there are too many stories. Sometimes Wang Nan wondered what would have happened to him if he hadn't met Jong Li? The trajectory of life would not have taken such a sharp turn. Maybe I'm married to Liu now, maybe I have children. Life should be calm, like most ordinary people, there won't be so much pain and so much harm. But sometimes Wang Nan asks himself, even if he doesn't meet Li Chong, will he meet Chong Wang, Liu Chong and Zhao Chong? Maybe what should happen will happen sooner or later, but different versions and different characters. And what happened to Li Chong, there is no doubt that he didn't clean up his inner accumulation of chaos. What about Li Chong? What would his life be like if he didn't know himself? He and Xu Danlei will certainly be very happy together, and there won't be so much harm in the future, and he won't feel guilty about it. He has been torturing himself all these years. Unfortunately, life cannot be assumed, nor can it be assumed, let alone reshaped. What should happen will happen eventually, and it has already happened, and the damage will eventually hurt and cannot be redeemed.
Wang Nan's jeep travels in autumn in the north, and Eason Chan's Ten Years is playing on the radio. Eason Chan is singing: Ten years ago/I didn't know you/you didn't belong to me/we were still with a stranger/we walked through the street we gradually became familiar with/we were friends after ten years/we could still greet each other/it was just that tenderness/we couldn't find any reason to hug/lovers finally became friends/until we had sex with you. I realized that my tears are not for you, but also for others. ...
Mottled shadows flashed across Wang Nan's face through the window, and Wang Nan's eyes felt no heat. Outside the window, the sun is shining.

The year when Wang Nan met Jong Li was 1994.
That year, Wang Nan was 22 years old, and he was crazy about Zheng Jun's return to Lhasa. Of course, he also likes Lao Lang's You at the Same Table and My Brother Sleeping in My Upper Bed. Wang Nan, 22, is tall and thin, strong but not thin. With a neck-length long hair, sometimes tied into a ponytail, sometimes flying freely in the wind, with a youthful face, it often attracts the attention of girls from other departments. The girls in the art college are all very beautiful. It's not easy for these beautiful girls to put down their pride and pursue a boy, but Wang Nan did it.
Wang Nan studied decoration design and played the piano well. Wang Nan's mother took him to learn piano since he was a child, so he was beaten a lot. When he grew up, he didn't become a pianist, but his advantages in artistic design were revealed. Later, when he entered the university, Wang Nan originally applied for the Central Academy of Fine Arts and got a professional certificate. But just before the college entrance examination, my father suddenly suffered a car accident, which hit him hard. Finally, he entered the college with a score of 2 points difference in culture class. Maybe it's the pain of losing your father. Coupled with the failure of the college entrance examination, Wang Nan was silent as soon as he entered the school, but he was cool to others. What made Wang Nan famous was the first year's college Spring Festival party, and I don't know who knew he had studied piano. Everyone booed and insisted that he play the piano. In desperation, Wang Nan played a song I can't forget by Paula Tsui. Although it is a popular song, but Wang Nan's melancholy temperament, some girls in the dance department began to write to Wang Nan when they were free. Wang Nan never replied, not because he was arrogant, but because he was bored.
1in the spring of 994, Wang Nan entered the design company named les deux maggots as an intern. In July, it is logical to stay. At that time, many students were looking for jobs with careers. Wang Nan doesn't care. This company is good, although it is not big, but its professional level is well-known in the industry. The angel boss treats him well, like a big sister. Angel returned from studying in Europe and started his own design company. The name of the company is the name of a cafe in Paris. When she was in France, she often went to cafes for an afternoon, where many design inspirations were generated. After returning to China, she set up a company and used this name conveniently. Because she brought back the latest European design concepts, she made great progress in just two years and gained a good reputation in the design field. After hearing a lot about you, Wang Nan sent her professional design works and resume to apply for internship opportunities. When Angel saw Wang Nan's works, he felt that the young man had a very keen artistic sense. Immediately, he happily wrote back to Wang Nan.
During the three-month internship, Wang Nan and his colleagues completed the exterior wall design of a shopping mall. Among them, the simple design elements adopted by Wang Nan won the appreciation of Angel and the recognition of customers. Wang Nan's first attack ended in perfection. Of course, he also got the favor of angels. After graduation, he also obtained the position of design director of les deux maggot design company. Wang Nan of 1994 is in its prime.
That autumn, the exterior wall project of the shopping mall has come to an end, and Wang Nan has been busy as the design supervisor for some time. Seeing that his work is about to become a reality, Wang Nan is very excited: Damn, what luck! Just after graduation, there are works standing in the street. Wang Nan's pride speaks for itself.
On this day, the angel told him to go to the office and put down the phone. Liu next to him said with a smile, "You have to invite people to dinner for promotion and wealth!" " Wang Nan said, "What if nothing happens? Then invite me to dinner. " Liu said, "Yes, yes, it's not impossible to treat you to a box lunch. By the way, I'll treat you to the northwest wind. " Wang Nan smiled and said, I knew you weren't so generous, so I knocked on the door of the angel's office and said, "Come in." Wang Nan pushed open the glass door and walked into Angel's office. Angel's office is beautiful, with red as the main color, bookshelves nailed to the walls, sofas for guests, and yellow walls and glass. There is no decoration on the roof, the exhaust pipe is wrapped in tin foil and exposed, there are several large lampshades hanging inside, and a Hawaiian bamboo with green eyes is attached to the corner of the house, which is feminine and slightly rigid.
"This is Wang Nan, our newly graduated college student, and this is my friend Jong Li," Angel introduced.
Wang Nan didn't know that this simple introduction would change his life trajectory and disrupt his whole life. Ten years later, Wang Nan once again remembered the scene of that day's acquaintance. He really has no special memory. He only remembers that the sunshine outside the window was particularly thorough that day. The poplars downstairs only show some branches in the window on the sixth floor. In the north of October, the leaves have begun to fade. The yellow leaves that have not fallen are shivering in the sun, and the sun penetrates into the room, which is particularly warm. Li Chong was dressed in black, sitting in a red chair, and the sun was shining directly on him.
Hello, Wang Nan said hello politely.
Hello, Li Chong smiled.
Of course, Jong Li won't know. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he fell into a ten-year emotional entanglement. If he knows, will there be another painful choice? It's a pity that life is unpredictable and you can't choose, so everything will start naturally. (2)
"Sit down, Wang Nan." Angel told Wang Nan to sit in the chair next to Li Chong.
"Mr. Li is going to decorate the furniture mall recently. I'll leave it to you. Let's talk about it. "
Angel turned to Li Chong and said, "Wang Nan's design concept is really good. If it weren't for your project, I wouldn't send this general easily. "
Li Chong said with a smile, Mr. Dong, it's hard for you to have a big fight. Get busy making out with your Zhang Zhiwei.
"You talk nonsense. If you are not satisfied with Wang Nan's design, I will be responsible. " Angel interrupted him with a smile.
Wang Nan beside can only smile, the in the mind is one hundred don't want to get up, just take part in the work of Wang Nan mind is extremely high, it is relying on the proud age, which can stand this suspicious snub. But on the surface, I try to pretend to listen carefully.
Li Chong may realize that there is something wrong with his speech, so he patted Wang Nan on the shoulder and said, Brother, please do this. Wang Nan politely tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled. Wang Nan's reaction made Li Chong feel that this boy was still arrogant and young, and he could not conceal his frivolity.
"Then when do you make an appointment to visit the venue, hurry up and make a plan, and I will give you a 50% discount," Angel said firmly.
Jong Li smiled and said, "I thought it was free, so I won't ask you for money." ,
"You made so much money, don't get stuck in our small design company. I didn't double it, so it's cheaper for you. " They stood up and said with a smile. I can see that Angel and Jong Li know each other well. Wang Nan also stood up. Jong Li said to Wang Nan, "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning 10." He shook Wang Nan's hand, turned to Angel and said, "The mall just gave me two months to decorate. I really need to hurry. I have to find a decoration company in the future. " The angel said, "We also have a corresponding decoration company. I can help you contact. Well, I just finished decorating the exterior wall of the mall, and I have to be busy for another two months. Wang Nan, not to mention how upset he is.
Liu returned to his seat, leaned over and said, "What's the situation? Or two thousand gold? " Liu is one year older than Wang Nan and joined the company one year earlier than Wang Nan. She is engaged in computer drawing and usually loves to laugh and make fun. Wang Nan likes being with her very much. Simple girls are easy to associate with, although she looks average and is much more comfortable than those beautiful and pretentious girls.
"I was promoted to an official. Please treat me to dinner quickly. I'm just trying. " Wang Nan said, and picked up his hair and went crazy. At this moment, Wang Nan showed childlike innocence.

The next day, Jong Li arrived at Wang Nan's company on time. As it was a one-way street, he had to park his car across the street and wait for Wang Nan. Wang Nan was wearing a pair of indigo jeans and a black sweater with a zipper. The wide bottom of the sweater is just at the waist of the jeans, which makes his legs straight and slender. Walking, there is a black belt looming around the waist, and there is a white T-shirt with a little white edge, which sets off the freshness and cleanliness of Wang Nan. Jong Li watched Wang Nan walk out of the office building in the car and honked his horn. Wang Nan saw Jong Li smiling at himself in his Toyota 4500 jeep, gestured a brief nod, and hurried to the side of the road. On that day, Wang Nan's hair was not tied into a ponytail, and the half-length hair naturally bent. Its hair is not thick, so it is particularly refreshing. When crossing the road, Wang Nan looked around, her hair fluttering gently in the wind. Wang Nan in the sunshine is really a hero.
Looking at Wang Nan coming towards him, Li Chong had a good impression on this handsome guy inexplicably and sighed from the bottom of his heart. It's really nice that he is young. Then I feel a little old. In fact, Li Chong is not old at all. He was only 27 years old that year, only five years older than Wang Nan. Li Chong also entered the society at the age of 22. Unlike Wang Nan, he retired from the army. After retirement, Li Chong became a boss's bodyguard. In just five years, many unknown changes have taken place in Li Chong's life, and great changes have taken place in Li Chong's personality. So when he saw the simplicity and simplicity that had not faded in Wang Nan,
Wang Nan got on Jong Li's car and couldn't help exclaiming, "This car is great!" ! Jong Li tapped on the steering wheel, looked ahead and said with a smile, "If you work hard, you will have it soon." . Wang Nan wry smile, with his current salary, want to buy a mobile phone can't afford it, use a BP machine will feel good, let alone buy a car, is to save ten years also can't buy this kind of two-wheeled car. I thought so, but I didn't say so. Wang Nan asked Jong Li, "Miss Li, do you like jeeps?"?
"Yes, I like Jeep's vision and motivation. This is a car driven by a man. " Lee glanced at Wang Nan.
"It's good to have money," Wang Nan sighed heartily.
"What's good"?
If you have money, you can live freely. If you like jeeps, you can buy a jeep and do whatever you want.
"Ha ha, when you have money, you will know that it is totally different."
Wang Nan couldn't answer the phone at the moment, so he listened to music in the car.
... because of my love/nakedness/my love/nakedness ... this is Zheng Jun's nakedness.
1994, Zheng Jun fire. That year, there were Lao Lang and He Yong, Dou Wei and Zhang Chu with the magic stone. The pop songs of that year left too many unforgettable memories for Wang Nan. To tell the truth, Wang Nan didn't expect Li Chong's car to have Zheng Jun's songs, and Zheng Jun was his favorite. With this, he suddenly felt close to Jong Li. A feeling of brief encounter, of course, Wang Nan didn't show it, because he thought Jong Li was so young and rich. Even listening to music is different from those rich people! This is somewhat dwarfed and even makes Wang Nan feel inferior. In the face of inferiority complex, Wang Nan unconsciously pretended to be more arrogant. Wang Nan sometimes hates himself, and his feelings are always hidden. Obviously, he likes others and insists on being cold. But today, Wang Nan didn't feel more than usual.
"Li always likes listening to Zheng Jun's songs?"
"Well, it is blind. Are you familiar with his songs? "
"Yes, I like it at school."
Lee looked at Wang Nan in the rearview mirror and said
"Hey, I find you are a bit like Zheng Jun, but you are much more handsome than him."
Wang Nan smiled shyly and turned red. He is a little unaccustomed to such direct praise from others.
"Don't scold me." Wang Nan can handle it.
Jong Li saw Wang Nan's ears were red, and she did Sarah laugh. This young man is really interesting. The shy and handsome boy looks cute.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Jong Li changed the subject.
"no"
"Forget it, so handsome still has no girlfriend?"
"Really not" Wang Nan was in a hurry to confess.
"No, I'll introduce it to you another day."
Wang Nan didn't answer Jong Li's words and asked, "Does Mr. Li have a girlfriend?"
"Well, it's been six years."
"Then don't get married?" Wang Nan asked.
"Soon, marriage can't be so free, or single, women are sometimes very troublesome, but it's good to have a girlfriend. Just fall in love and don't get married. " Smiled at Wang. Wang Nan felt that Li Chong smiled warmly, especially his green chin and gently pulled up corners of his mouth. In front of Li Chong, Wang Nan's youthful frivolity was not restrained at all.
On the way to the mall, Wang Nan felt that time passed quickly. What's more strange is that they talked about many topics in their respective lives without saying a word at work, and suddenly they felt like friends. Wang Nan's feeling is exactly what Li Chong thought. How long has it been? I haven't talked so much with a person-a person I just met. After so long in business, Wang Nan's simplicity left Li Chong unprepared. Their story begins.
