Even though his eldest brother He Yuguang has been gone for three years, He Jichen still feels a deep and unspeakable sadness in his heart every time he comes to his tombstone.
After a while, he calmed down the emotions in his heart. He repeatedly rubbed the word "light" with his fingertips and said in a low voice: "Brother, I'm here to see you."
He Jichen knew that no one would respond to him, but he still waited silently for a while before continuing: "Brother, how are you doing recently? Let's not lie..."
He Jichen knew that he would never see He Yuguang answering his questions on the writing board again in his life. He lowered his eyes, swallowed hard, then withdrew his fingers from the tombstone, turned over, and sat on the floor. He sat down, leaned his head on the tombstone, stared at the sunset on the horizon, lit a cigarette, smelled the smell of tobacco, and said slowly: "...I've been doing well recently, I'm not lying, really. It's good, she woke up and her life is ideal... What about you, brother?"
He was answered with silence.
It wasn't until a gust of wind blew and the surrounding trees rustled that He Jichen said to himself, "Brother, can I ask you a question? Is there anyone you really want to get to know again?"
He Jichen paused for three seconds and blinked gently. Countless sadness poured out of him, and even his voice became sad and low: "Brother, I have..."
After just saying three words, He Jichen lost his voice, but he clearly heard what he was saying in his heart: I really want to get to know her again, starting with her name; I really want to get to know her again. We met once, from the first time she showed up at our house.
It wasn't until four years ago that he realized that no matter how confident he was when he was young, he thought that one day he would be as familiar as He Yuguang in Ji Yi's heart, but reality was reality after all, and his self-confidence could not play any role. role.
He Jichen lit another cigarette and slowly closed his eyes. In the faint smell of tobacco, he brought his thoughts back to the past, which perfectly connected with the memories when he was interrupted by Ji Yi at the bar last night.
…
Not long after He Jichen and Ji Yi met, the high school entrance examination came.
Ji Yi had good grades and easily entered the high school experimental class of Su City No. 1 Middle School. He scored 20 points in the high school entrance examination with five papers, four blank and one blank. He barely managed to get into the test after the He family donated 100 computers to the school. The strong one also entered Sucheng No. 1 Middle School, but it was not an experimental class, but an ordinary class.
When he entered high school, in addition to remaining uneducated and showing off his power as in junior high school, he also had a new project: protecting his shortcomings.
This new project originated in the second month of high school.
It was a Wednesday. Ji Yi didn't go home after school at noon. After having lunch with a few girls, he went to the Happy Internet Cafe next to the school.
Coincidentally, that day, he and Fatty's group had an appointment to play a team game, and they were also at the Happy Internet Cafe.
But she was on the first floor and they were on the second floor.
Halfway through the team match, he went to the restroom. The restroom on the second floor was occupied, so he went to the restroom on the first floor, thinking he could buy a pack of cigarettes along the way.
He took a cigarette from the front desk and slowly swung it upstairs. Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently spotted her sitting against the window of the Internet cafe.
He subconsciously stopped and turned around to look.
