With You For the Rest of My Life

It was dark when Rose was released from prison.
Two hours' visiting time was actually very short for the father and the daughter.
The big iron door behind him slammed shut, separating the two worlds.
The taxi, which she had promised to wait here, had disappeared. As the night was getting colder, Rose could not help holding
her arms and sighed.
It seemed to be difficult to call a taxi in the wilderness. She took out her mobile phone and found that there was no signal.
She seemed to have encountered such embarrassing situation a lot recently. Rose raised her hand to her forehead and sighed.
She was still hesitating when a beam of car light came over and shook her head.
With her hands covering the light, Rose squinted through the gap.
A silver gray Bentley stopped not far from Rose. A well-dressed man got off the car and stood in front of her step by step.
"Long time no see, Rose." He said in a low voice.
"Austin Yuan?" Rose asked with hesitation. The face in front of her gradually fit the face of the handsome young man in her
memory.
"So you still remember me."
"I can't forget you! I thought you were going to study in a capitalist country and were too overwhelmed by their kindness and
were not willing to come back." Rose joked.
The moment the old friends saw each other, the atmosphere became relaxed.
"I went to the capital country to suffer a lot, but secretly learned about something to come back to serve my homeland." Austin
Yuan said with a smile.
"I remember your lesson abroad still has one month to go."
"I finished my study and came back home ahead of schedule." "Oh, what are you doing here then?" asked Austin Yuan, "I come
to see my father,"

Since Austin Yuan came back from abroad, he had heard about the story of Rose's father. He didn't know what to say. After a
while, he opened his mouth, "What a coincidence. I come here to visit my mother."
Since his mother died when he was a little kid, Austin Yuan had buried her in a cemetery not far from the prison.
"So we're like two old friends meeting again?" Covering her coat more tightly, Rose turned to look at the man who was driving
attentively next to her.
Now, Austin Yuan was even more outstanding than she had imagined. Well dressed, polite and well mannered, he just like an
elite returning to his country.
"I think so." "Anyway, I'm pretty lucky to run into you here. " added Austin Yuan, "I'm the lucky one. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't
have been able to go back today." Rose tried to catch some signal by shaking her phone.
Amused by Rose's action, Austin Yuan said, "Rosy, you haven't changed a bit. Still a cutie pie." Then he scraped her nose lightly.
Such a movement was not inappropriate for the two of them when they were at school, but now it seemed a little abrupt.
When Austin Yuan reached out his hand, he noticed the unnatural look on Rose's face. He realized that he had crossed a line.
His little schoolmate had become a married woman. She was no longer the Rosy who need to depend on him as a brother
anymore.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became stiff.
Rose touched her nose and hid her embarrassment. She tried to adjust the atmosphere deliberately, "It's rare that you still
remember what I look like."
"How can I forget? I remember all your things." Austin Yuan continued, "I remember that you had baby fat on your face. You
pouted like a child. You were cute and loved laughing,"
"Really?" Thinking of the past, Rose felt so unreal. She used to laugh a lot. Her parents took care of her so they didn't know what
hardships were. At that time, what she had to worry most was what to eat in the morning, what she had to eat in the noon and
what she ate in the evening.
"Well, I still remember that time when you cannot pass the 800-meter race test. You went to the teacher with tearful tears. The
P.E. teacher was so annoyed with you that she called your parents to come over. And your mother pleaded to the teacher

together with you." Austin Yuan shook his head, laughing, "At that time, we finally knew why Rose was so cute. It was because
her mother who always protected her so well -"
Speaking of this, Austin Yuan suddenly paused. Realizing that he had said something wrong, he turned his head and glanced at
Rose.
"I'm sorry, Rosy..." he regretted mentioning her dead mother.
"It's okay, Austin," Rose turned her head and smiled, "My mother passed away more than a year ago, and I have become strong
enough to accept that now."
The silver gray Bentley stopped in front of the courtyard of Gu Family.
"Rosy." Looking at outside for a while, Austin Yuan continued, "I wish you weren't that strong."
I don't want to see you like this either. You have to bear all the pain yourself and there's nothing I can do about it.
"Austin, " said Rose, taking a deep breath. Not knowing what to say, she finally opened the seat belt and said, "Thank you for
driving me back today."
"Is Burke nice to you?" He asked suddenly, holding her hands that were unbuckling the seat belt, and turned to look at her.
"He is good to me." Rose dropped her gaze and got rid of Austin Yuan's hands, wringing her clothes. Whether Burke was good
or not, only Rose knew it. Saying it out would make people who cared about her worry.
"Rosy, you still don't know how to lie. Every time you lie, you are habitually twisting your clothes."
Rose was speechless.
"Rosy," Austin said with a wry smile. "I think I was too late."
When you were trapped, I was too late to come to you.
