Xiaoya was worried before that when she went to Lu Xiaobei's house, what Lu Xiaobei's father would say to her. But when Xiaoya really went to Lu Xiaobei's house, she realized that her worries were superfluous. She didn't see Lu Xiaobei's father at all.
When Xiaoya found Lu Xiaobei according to the address Lu Xiaobei gave her, a young woman opened the door. The woman was young, she looked like she was twenty-eight or nine years old, but Xiaoya knew that she was Lu Xiaobei's stepmother, and she was 33 this year. Now, Xiaoya really doesn't know whether to call her aunt or sister.
However, Lu Xiaobei's little stepmother was quite kind. Seeing Xiaoya, she immediately laughed, "You are Xiaobei's classmate, right? She told me that I'll go get you the key."
Xiaoya was standing at the entrance. In the living room was a boy of about ten years old who was looking at her curiously.
Xiaoya smiled at the little boy.
Soon, Xiaoya's little stepmother took the key and said, "Excuse me, I have to send it to Xiaobei." Lu Xiaobei told her family that she had forgotten something at home and needed her classmates to bring it to her. So let Xiaoya come to get the key.
Xiaoya: "Thank you. No trouble, the captain usually takes care of us a lot."
Xiaoya took the key from Lu Xiaobei's house and went back to the house where they lived together. She counted the dumplings in the refrigerator. If she only had one meal a day at home, Lu Xiaobei would come back when the dumplings were finished.
What Xiaoya didn't expect was that, when the dumplings in the refrigerator were finished, she didn't wait for Lu Xiaobei's call, she only waited for her call, "Sorry, Xiaoya, there are many things in the new company, I have to work overtime this weekend. Would you stay at your parents' house for two days?"
Xiaoya: "Captain, I'm about to become a wife stone!"
Lu Xiaobei: "I try to come back next week."
Xiaoya hummed, "If you don't come back next week, I'll go to the magic capital to find you!"
Lu Xiaobei: "Okay."
Today, Xiaoya was counting the time when Lu Xiaobei came back, when she suddenly received a call from Mo Yichen, "Hey, Yichen, why did you remember to call me today?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, only the sound of light breathing could be heard.
Xiaoya waited for a while, and then said, "Yi Chen, Yi Chen, can you hear me?" She suddenly had a bad premonition, "Did something happen?"
Mo Yichen: "Xiaoya, come here soon, something happened to Xiangyi." Yichen didn't cry, but her voice was deadly, like a barren city.
Achieving went without warning at all.
It was an ordinary day, the wind was sunny, and the air was cold as usual in winter. Xiangyi had to cross an intersection from the studio to the dormitory. When she was in the middle of the road, she encountered a big truck.
The driver did not notice her due to fatigue driving.
There is no monitoring at the intersection, and it is difficult to determine the responsibility of the accident. But no matter who is responsible and how much compensation can be made, Xiangyi will never come back.
Her life bloomed into a blood-red flower that withered forever in the university town.
Outside the operating room, Shiyi's mother was crying so hard that the nurse on duty looked at her nervously, for fear that she would faint from crying suddenly, and it would be bad if she bumped into something else.
Mo Yichen didn't cry. For the first time, she knew that there is a kind of pain that tear open the heart, put it back together, tear it again, put it back together again and again.
When Xiaoya arrived at the hospital, Xiangyi had already been sent to the morgue. The little nurse on duty told her: "The traffic police said, I advise family members not to watch it. It's too tragic to die in a car accident. The little girl's mother cried and fainted, but it's the little girl's friend, she must watch it, saying she will do it last. Say goodbye. The traffic police can't beat her, so they let her go. It's too miserable, she's still so young, I heard it's a single-parent family, what can her mother do?"
Xiaoya walked out of the operating room. Xiangyi's family hadn't left yet. Xiangyi's mother fell into the arms of a female relative and cried out of breath, "Daughter, you are only 21 years old, how can you be so cruel. You make money, you don’t need to be excellent, you need to live well…”
There is a family over there, many people have red eyes and cry, a child who has grown up since childhood, is about to graduate from college, and looks so good-looking, so well-behaved, and suddenly disappeared, who cares bear it.
On the other side, Mo Yichen stood quietly, she was half leaning against the wall, her eyes were empty, Xiaoya walked in front of her, and she didn't move.
Xiaoya called softly, "Yi Chen." Thinking of Xiangyi's death, such a flower-like girl, thinking of Mo Yichen, who regarded Xiangyi as the most important person, Xiaoya's voice couldn't help crying, "Yichen said. morning."
Mo Yichen's eyes were still dead, but she held Xiaoya's hand tightly, pulling her to the point of pain.
Xiaoya didn't say a word, she wasn't afraid of pain, she was afraid that Yi Chen's state just now would be so lonely and lifeless.
In those three days, not to mention Mo Yichen, even Xiaoya lived in a muddled way. Apart from calling Lu Xiaobei and saying something appropriate, she stayed with Mo Yichen all the time.
Sometimes, Shiyi's mother would come to Yichen, and she would not say anything, just hug her and cry, as if she wanted to drain all the tears of her life. Mo Yichen was dumb, she didn't have the strength to comfort Shiyi's mother, she just let her see her as a puppet, and when she needed it, pull it twice to accompany her to reminisce about Shishiyi.
That bloody wound keeps getting torn and never gets better.
On the day of the memorial service, there were many people who Xiaoya knew or didn't know. In addition to relatives from Xiangyijia, there were also young people about her age. Xiangyi High School also changed schools once. During the summer vacation of the first year of high school and the second year of high school, Xiangyi was very popular, and people from both high schools came to attend the memorial service.
Xiaoya sided with her suitable high school and college classmates, who were suitable friends.
Originally, Mo Yichen also stood with them, and Shiyi's mother pulled her to the front, "You are my goddaughter, and a relative of Shiyi." These days, her voice has become hoarse, but now she talks about it. The words came with a cry, "Come on, let's stand a little closer to the appropriate."
At the memorial service, Xiaoya heard people talk about how talented Xiangyiren was, how good her grades were, and how sweet she looked, and she only felt uncomfortable. If Xiangyi is here, they must be dismissive of all this, because this is not about her, they will only say that she is a little devil in the shell of an angel, and they are always holding her to skip classes.
But fit is fit, she's uninhibited, she'll never be bound by it all.
Now there are only good words left at the memorial service. Because she's gone, it's impossible for her to jump out of the coffin and say, "What are you making up, how good am I?"
After the memorial service, Xiangyi's mother took Mo Yichen to send Xiangyi to cremation.
Lu Xiaobei came from the magic capital in the early morning to give Xiangyi the last ride. It was noon now, and she had to rush back to the company. Xiaoya wanted to send her off, but she was stopped by relatives from Xiangyi's family, "Xianyi's mother has reserved a table at the hotel. Let's go together, it's bad luck. It's been hard for you these days, and you've been busy. "
Lu Xiaobei also persuaded Xiaoya: "I'm fine."
Xiaoya thought about it for a while, and was worried about Mo Yichen, but she stayed. She sat at a table with Xiangyi's former high school classmates.
After Mo Yichen came, Xiaoya took Mo Yichen to sit beside her. These days, if she didn't watch, Mo Yichen didn't even know how to drink a sip of water.
During the banquet, the overall atmosphere was not very warm, except for the classmates reminiscing about the past. What's more, Xiaoya's table is a table for two high school classmates. Everyone basically doesn't know each other, and they just eat in silence.
Suddenly, Xiaoya heard two boys whispering, "Is this Li Xiangyi's god sister, she looks a lot like Cheng Cheng, the girl she likes in the first year of high school."
Xiaoya turned her head to look, and the boy next to the man patted him, not letting him say anything.
After a while, Xiaoya vaguely heard, "Do you know if this is a real sister or what kind of sister?"
Xiaoya turned her head to look at Mo Yichen. She was picking up the rice in the bowl as usual, and she didn't know if she heard it or not. At this time, Xiaoya didn't even know, she hoped that Mo Yichen would respond, but she still didn't.
After that, except for the final exam, Xiaoya accompanied Mo Yichen.
Mo Yichen didn't go to the exam either. It took more than half a month to get better. She hurried Xiaoya back, "It's rare for the captain to come back from the magic capital, so don't stick with me."
Xiaoya: "the captain has to go back to school to do some errands, no hurry."
Mo Yichen: "I also have something to do. It's inconvenient to bring you, so I let you go."
Xiaoya: "Really?"
Mo Yichen: "Really."
Xiaoya saw that Mo Yichen didn't look like a fake, and Mo Yichen never had a criminal record of cheating, so she went back to Nancheng University to find Lu Xiaobei.
Later, Xiaoya and Mo Yichen kept in touch intermittently, but they never met. When they met again, the second semester of the sophomore year had already started. Lu Xiaobei was in the magic capital at the time, and Xiaoya went to Nancheng Airport to see Mo Yichen off.
Xiaoya really didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it, "you go to the United States, will you come back?"
Mo Yichen: "Probably not. I have too little to worry about here. After graduating from college there, I will try my best to make money for my family. When my younger brother grows up, I can also support my parents."
Xiaoya: "It's a pity, you have already read the sophomore year here."
Mo Yichen: "Actually, when I was a freshman, we wanted to apply for an exchange student to go to the United States, and the notarization documents were ready. She likes the City of Angels very much, and there is a bit of tolerance for us there. But I only applied for the quota at my own expense. ."
Xiaoya: "then now?"
"Godmother supported me. She gave me a firm foothold in the City of Angels. When she grows old, she is likely to go to old age." Mo Yichen said, "She said, 'You are like another daughter of mine. Go America, look at the city you like with your eyes. I think she'll be happy too.'"
Xiaoya's tears fell on Mo Yichen's shoulders and gave her the last hug, "Take care."
Mo Yichen said a word in Xiaoya's ear, then pushed the box and left without looking back.
Only Xiaoya was left standing on the spot in astonishment.
Mo Yichen said, "Unfortunately, I didn't know until the end whether Xiangyi had ever loved me."
The author has something to say: In the text, Mo Yichen and the others should not appear.
After the end, there may be an episode.
