    Zhang Xingzhi lowered his head and sniffed the smell on the pages of the book. The beautiful handwriting of the pen had already dried out over the years.  He patted it lightly with his hands, and the almost invisible dust on it slowly rose up, his nose could not help but wrinkled slightly, and a sneeze followed.

    When he was young, Zhang Xingzhi liked Hemingway's tenderness and tenderness when he wrote about the old things, and the touch of simple outlines.  Because he liked the novel so much, he even went to the cinema with his friends to watch the movie version of "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" starring Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward.

    At that time, walking out of the cinema, the friend asked him why Harry's life was such a tragedy?  At that time, the young and energetic Zhang Xingzhi only said that it was because Kilimanjaro and Cynthia themselves were irreconcilable.  Some people spend their whole lives on the road looking for answers, while others are just passing by for a short time.

    In fact, Zhang Xingzhi is not satisfied with the movie, because its ending undoubtedly belongs to the happy ending in American dramas.  After struggling, suffering, and hesitation, the hero Harry has come back to life.

    For some reason, the moment Zhang Xingzhi closed his eyes, two intersecting scenes kept appearing in Zhang Xingzhi's mind.

    In one scene, Harry is at the train station in Karagachi, with a backpack on his back, looking at the speeding train in the dark pierced by the light.  That's where Harry would leave in the retreat.

    Another scene is Zhang Xingzhi himself, lonely with his suitcase and backpack, watching the planes taking off and landing outside the terminal hall of Los Angeles International Airport through the floor-to-ceiling glass.  California is where his life has had its ups and downs, and where he will leave for good.

    "Xingzhi, will you come back?" That friend once asked with sobs on the phone.

    Behind the long silent microphone, Zhang Xingzhi's eyes gradually turned red.  He couldn't give the other party a specific reply, perhaps because to some extent, he cherished the other party very much.  If some words are spoken, there will only be too much harm left.

    She should have continued to live in this land freely, and she also has the right to pursue her true happiness.  He couldn't give her any hope, couldn't promise anything.  But even at the last moment when he hung up the phone, he still had some kind of blessing for her.

    "Chloe, please take care"

    He boarded the plane and left the city completely.  In fact, he never complained in his heart, why Chloe didn't stand up to defend him when he needed it most.

    The older he gets, the more he feels that the choices that people have to make in order to protect themselves at certain times are just for survival, and everything is justifiable

    When I first returned to China, Chloe's letters were very close.  Almost every month there is always one or two letters from California.  Zhang Xingzhi acted calm and alienated. He suppressed all thoughts and pressed the letter into a drawer in the office.  He had never opened the letter and read it, nor did he dare to read it.

    Slowly, Chloe's letters took up an entire drawer in his office.  It wasn't until a certain year that Zhang Xingzhi received a wedding invitation from across the ocean that everything came to an end.

    In an unoccupied corner, he opened and read the letters one by one.  Then he put all the letters, including the invitation, into the iron basin.  The sound of the match pierced through the silence and turned all the handwriting into soft ashes.

    In the end, there was only that Hemingway book, which he kept tightly in his hand and never let it go (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
