Extra:

I’m not good, but I only have one.

Cherish it or not, it’s up to you.

If one day you lose me, I won’t let you find me again.

Be it friendship or love,

If I leave, we won’t meet again.

There are three things in this world that you can’t get back once you lose them: time, life, and me.

Elijah Smith vs. Ella Adams: "Suddenly I Miss You"

... ...

Christopher Bell organized a party tonight at Magnificent, inviting almost all his old classmates from Starhaven University who once had a good relationship with him.

Christopher had organized many such gatherings; Elijah Smith had been invited after his release from prison, but this was his first time coming.

Elijah didn’t arrive punctually. When he appeared, the people inside Magnificent had already had a few drinks. The waiter knocked on the door before opening it and making space for him: "Sir, please come in."

The room was noisy; Elijah was just standing at the doorway when Christopher, eagle-eyed, spotted him and called out, "Elijah."

At that moment, the entire private booth became silent.

Everyone turned to look at Elijah Smith, and in each person’s eyes, there was a look of surprise.

Elijah knew what that surprise meant.

His three years in prison were indeed a stain on him in the eyes of his classmates who had graduated from Starhaven University with a bright future.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment; then Christopher stood up, walked over to Elijah, and said, "Elijah, long time no see."

With a calm demeanor and an even gaze, as if he hadn’t noticed the shift of emotions in his old friends’ eyes, Elijah smiled faintly, nodded, and spoke in a serene tone, "Christopher, it’s been a while."

Elijah Smith was once the brilliant son of the Smith Corporation. Although Smith Corporation was going through a rough period, Elijah was considered a solid second-generation rich kid among Starhaven University classmates who came from different regions and ordinary families.

Back then, Elijah was generous with his classmates, always picking up the entire tab without batting an eyelid, which made him popular.

Now, five years later, he has started his own company and counts hundreds of employees politely calling him "CEO Smith." However, due to his criminal past and time in prison, he is no longer as popular among classmates who had an easier time finding jobs after graduating from prestigious universities.

As such, Elijah deeply understood the fickleness of human nature.

However, Christopher, who had grown up with Elijah, didn’t hold as much contempt for him. After Elijah spoke, Christopher sized him up for a while, then reached out, hugged Elijah, and uttered a single word with the tone of their youth, "Bro."

Elijah felt a tremor in his heart but remained unflappable on the surface. He raised his hand and gently patted Christopher’s back.

Men, when expressing feelings with each other, are profound without being overly sentimental. Thus, within a few seconds, the two separated, and Christopher led Elijah to sit down on the soft sand, even pouring him a glass of wine.

Compared to Christopher’s enthusiasm, the others seemed somewhat distant. However, having experienced the world, they had lost their youthful passion and gained a layer of smoothness. So even if they looked down on him in their hearts, everyone remained amicable and cheerful on the surface.
