Ronan's Moonlit Journey Chapter 27

I should keep in mind the honor of being invited, and I secretly made up my mind at that time: If I have money in the future, I will definitely invite you back. Gu Jieming will definitely give me this face. The dignity and pride of being a host is definitely no less than being invited. It's a pity that there is no chance again, whether I invite Gujieming or Gujieming invites me.

Over the years, the idea of   returning the invitation has turned into a terrifying wish: I want to cut a piece of papyrus, bring some food and wine, and a pack of high-end cigarettes, and go to the countryside to pay homage to the soul of my old friend!

After that dinner, Gujieming and I never said goodbye. I went to Shandong to study, and Gu Jieming continued to stay in Gaoliang. A year later, he moved our family and I was not present. This matter was mentioned at the beginning of the novel. Later, Gu Jieming also joined the army and left, and I had no contact with Gao Liang anymore. And because I neglected to write letters, Gujieming broke off diplomatic relations with me. At that time, he was living well, young and strong, and had a bright future, so I didn't take it seriously. I always felt that the future was long and there would be a chance for reconciliation. Besides, we have no differences of principle, and we were once as close as brothers.

I went to college for four years and was assigned a job after graduation. I went to a new place and made new friends. As time goes by, the new becomes the old. After the initial excitement and joy passed, I began to miss the old place and old friends again. I dreamed about Gaoliang, Dongfanghong Middle School, and the phlegm-stained path leading to it. Gu Jieming and I walked to school arm in arm. The golden light flashed on the road, which was the sun shining on our mouths.

I began to listen to the news from Gao Liang and partially restored contact with my old classmates. These were all for Gujieming and paved the way for future reconciliation. It’s not that I only care about Gujieming. No one else has ever severed ties with me except him. For example, Song Dawei and Liu Quan, we had the opportunity to get together from time to time, and the main content of our conversations was about Gu Jieming. How could I go to Gaoliang without first reconciling with Gujieming?
