Trafford’s Trading Club

It rains in this city, especially in the second half of the year, which seems to have become something people are used to. ? ?

While the sun was still shining in the afternoon, strong winds blew in the evening, and before seven o'clock in the evening, it started to rain heavily.

But the heavy rain came and went quickly. Around eight o'clock in the evening, it turned into a drizzle.

The steady rain could not find a break.

…

A chill made Xue Xi wake up from his desk. Before that, he had to rush back to the company in the afternoon because he took half a day off during the day to accompany Wan Zishan, and had to work overtime to complete the task at hand. Work.

He was busy until about six o'clock. Because he was too tired from work, he originally planned to take a rest, but fell asleep unknowingly.

But Xue Nao had a dream, a dream from a long, long time ago.

It was his birthday, and the girl in his memory didn't show up all day long. Just when he was disappointed that she didn't know, the girl gently stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him on the face at the moment of parting on the way home.

The girl said, this is not even a birthday gift, this is. Then the girl took out a necklace and put it around his neck with her own hands. She said her mother had left it for her and told him to keep it with her.

The dream stopped, because I woke up.

Xue Si sat alone in an office with only a dimly lit laptop screen, turning his chair and looking at the thin rain outside. He subconsciously touched his chest.

There is always a necklace here that he never leaves. The necklace is not something expensive, just a pendant worn by a simple rope... As for the pendant, it is a brown crescent shape.

Xue Xi looked at the rain... It seemed that rainy days could always stir up a little bit of sadness.

He couldn't help but ask himself whether every man would always be in the same state as he was before marriage... always thinking of some past relationships uncontrollably.

Especially... the first love that ends in vain.

Maybe it's not just men, but women too... They always feel some things uncontrollably. Even if they don't want to, they can't resist the sudden bits and pieces full of sweetness and bitterness.

In fact, times have changed, and Xue Xi originally thought that he had forgotten it long ago, or had buried it deep in his memory. Later...when he was truly mature, truly qualified, and truly able to smile knowingly, he would go back. Turn it over.

He planned this because he could not deny that he was so sincere to his current fiancée.

"Perhaps it's really because before getting married... I'm about to enter another state." Xue Ma breathed a sigh of relief, "But..."

Xue Nao firmly grasped the small crescent moon on his body through his clothes.

But...just because he was about to enter another stage, he didn't want to still carry these thoughts with him. "Stop escaping and understand."

Xue Si suddenly picked up the phone and waited for a while, "Hey, monitor, it's me, Xue Si."

"Xue Xi, what's wrong? Are you looking for me at this time?"

"Nothing...am I about to get married soon?" , I couldn’t find her.”

"Xu Jiayi...ah, I haven't heard this name for a long time." The squad leader suddenly smiled and said: "I remember you kid, when you were in school, you always had a crush on someone else, right? What? You still can't forget it, and you want to see your old lover before marriage, come here A friendship cannon?"

"Squad leader, don't be ridiculous." Xue Xi said quickly: "I really want to write an invitation... Well, even if I don't write it, I should tell you."

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Everyone knows who you are, a man who is almost extinct. That time my brothers went to the Kasang Room to play, and we had one girl for each one. But you kid, go out by yourself. After singing all night, you can even make me fly together! How can you bear it? I even doubt whether you are impotent!"

"Monitor!"

"Okay, okay, don't tell me."

The squad leader paused for a moment, "But I don't have Xu Jiayi's contact information. During the Chinese New Year, I held a class reunion, and I don't know who I heard from someone who said that she flew all over the world and could hardly be found. I guess I can't help you. .”

"That's it... then forget it, there's nothing we can do about it." Xue Si said: "Squad leader, remember to collect the post and come on time! If you don't come, we will never contact you again in this life."

"Holy shit... I can crawl over, okay?"

"Stop talking, I'm going home from get off work."

Xue Na turned off the phone and showed a wry smile.

…

When leaving the company, Xue Si gave Wan Zishan a call to report that she was safe...but he didn't know there was a restlessness coming from there, so he didn't go home immediately while driving.

Instead, he came to the downstairs of the woman's home in his memory.

Looking up, I saw the location on the sixth floor...the room near the road. At that time, his family lived nearby.

As the old monitor said, he had been secretly in love with that girl before he even started.

I can't forget the face I saw in front of the school gate when the new student entered school, I can't forget the smile on that face... I can't forget the scene when the wind lifts the girl's silk threads.

When he passed by here, he always looked at the window silently, hoping that the girl might poke her head out.

But now the lights are no longer on in this old house, the iron railings on the balcony are rusty, and there are no curtains on the windows...it's just an empty house.

Sure enough, you can't open that box casually.

Standing in this place where I have waited silently for countless dusk... As expected, I still cannot casually open this box buried in my heart.

"Xu Jiayi, you're leaving now. You're going abroad as soon as you say you want to go abroad... You didn't even give me a way to contact you." Xue Nao stretched out his hand from the umbrella, let the drizzle fall on his palm, and murmured to himself Said: "Even...don't you say a word to me?"

He took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Turn around and go to where he parked his car... The road is not long, only about a hundred meters away.

Xue Nao gave a bitter smile... Maybe I shouldn't ask too much about the wishing tree today. Is it because I heard that it was going to be cut down that I became a little... abnormal?

He walked silently holding an umbrella.

There are two simple foreign lanterns dotting the dark space of the street lamp.

"Is there... such a shop here?" Xue Ma frowned slightly, subconsciously looking at the rather dim looking shop in front of the shop.

He didn't notice...the streets around him were different from before. He even ignored the quietness here...the quietness was unusual.

He subconsciously walked to the front of the store, and something seemed to attract him.

Xue Nao put away the umbrella, shook off the rainwater from the umbrella, and tried to push open the pine door in front of the store.

There is a sound of bells.

There are warm lights.

The moment he came in, Xue Si didn't seem to feel the coldness of the rainy street outside. It was very warm here.

"Welcome, how can I help you, guest?"

…

"So...guest, you want to see your first love again, right?" the boss asked softly.

"I...I'm not sure." Xue Xi shook his head, and was still nervous, looking at everything in front of him nervously.

He already knew some things about this store...and had to believe these things after the mysterious boss revealed his tricks.

But he still had lingering fears in his heart. How could he encounter such a strange place?

The only thing that could calm Xue Xiang down and prevent him from being too frightened was that... this place was actually not scary, and it didn't look like the movies or those demonic places in it, with fangs and horns, hellfire, and blood stains. Although the boss wore a scary mask, he looked extremely polite.

He has always respected and maintained the strictest etiquette to treat this so-called 'respected guest'.

This boss and his maid Wan Zishan said that she saw a perfect woman, but he felt that the woman in front of him could be considered perfect, right?

It's just... a little colder.

"Not sure?"

Boss Luo thought for a while and said: "Guest, if you are not sure, the sale will not be completed. So, please think carefully. Because once the sale is decided, it cannot be reversed."

"Can I know the price first?" I will not and am not willing to affect my fiancée after marriage because of my selfishness."

"The guest seems to still love your fiancée very much." Boss Luo nodded, "In this case, why are you still entangled in the past?"

Xue Nao smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know if you understand how difficult and painful it is to forget someone. Especially when you can't do it all and know that you have to love the next one wholeheartedly. When people.”

"So you want a result?"

Xue Na nodded: "I want a result, but if I ruin the next wedding and life after marriage for this result, I will choose not to... So, I need to know what the price is first."

"Yes." Boss Luo thought for a while and then said softly: "According to your request, as a guest, there is probably only one thing that is suitable for you...the necklace you are wearing."

"Necklace?" Xue Nao was stunned.

You should always carry it with you, just like you always carry me with you.

Boss Luo nodded and said, "Yes, the value of this necklace is enough to fulfill your request."

"Don't take what's important to me...but you also have to take what's important to me." Xue Nao smiled bitterly, and suddenly sighed: "There is no free lunch in the world, I only want one result. No, I I just want to end things with the past, and since I want to end it, then... just get naked."

He untied the necklace and gently placed it in front of the mysterious boss.

"No, you take it first." Boss Luo said calmly: "Sign the contract first, and we will not take away your necklace until the product is delivered to you."

"You..." Xue Nao nodded, "It's fair." 8
