The first day of the first month.

The howling cold wind stopped, the snow flying in the sky also stopped, and the blue sky even shone with a little warm halo like the sun, as if the snow was about to clear......

Today is the first day of the new year, and it is the day when Liu Yanbo left a message saying that he would come back.

Yin Hanruo walked out of the house again, although it had been more than a day and a night without closing her eyes, her face did not look very bad, and even looked a little ruddy, because when the sky was about to dawn, she had carefully cleaned up her makeup.

She thought—

When Liu Yanbo came back, give him a smile that was warm enough, not a worried haggard face.

The snow on the ground is very thick, and the community is lit up everywhere, but few residents go out, only a few children play in the snow, adding to the joy of this quiet and peaceful New Year.

Yin Hanruo didn't stop until he walked outside the gate of the community, and then looked at the end of the road as far as his eyes could see, but-

but still no return.

It's already afternoon, and Yin Hanruo can't even remember the first time he stood here and waited stupidly, only remembering that every time he came with anticipation, and then went back with disappointment and hope.

This time, is it still the same result?

After standing outside the gate for about half an hour, Yin Hanruo let out a sigh of relief, unspeakable resentment and helplessness, but just as she was about to retract her gaze and walk back again, a figure appeared in her line of sight-

The figure was coming out of the far corner, and although it was not yet visible, it was striking enough, and the whole body was wrapped in black in a clear contrast to the snow-covered world now......

Yin Hanruo was stunned for a moment, her eyes stayed on this figure and never left, she hadn't seen clearly enough, and her brain hadn't reacted yet, but her footsteps had already involuntarily walked over, and she walked faster and faster, and finally walked and turned into running.

That's Liu Yanbo!

The line of sight has been blurred by the tears overflowing her eyes, and the closer she gets, the more she can't see clearly, but Yin Hanruo is very sure that this figure that is also walking towards her is Liu Yanbo, her husband, because this figure has been firmly occupied in her mind from yesterday to today, staying in her heart, and never forgetting it for a moment.

Liu Yanbo is finally back!

His steps were not fast, but they were firm, and he seemed to be doing his best with every step, but the more he did, the more embarrassed he seemed to be now.

In this New Year, the returning Liu Yanbo is more like a scarred lone wolf, decadent to the point of dazzling, and so lonely that it seems to be out of place with the whole world.

The two finally met in the middle of the road, Liu Yanbo stopped, raised his head and tried to squeeze out a gentle smile, in order to try to make his voice sound less tired, he began to say out of nothing: "I said eldest sister, it's so cold outside, you should wear more clothes when you come out." ”

Yin Hanruo was unmoved, because the clothes she was wearing were warmer than all the clothes on Liu Yanbo's body, she just looked at him in a daze, and let the tears that had already overflowed her eyes burst out wantonly, no longer blurring her vision.

Liu Yanbo obviously deliberately cleaned up his appearance before he came back, and his body could be said to be spotless, but no matter how clean he cleaned up, the bruises on his bitten lips and forehead could not be concealed.

Yes.

He was really scarred now, and he never dared to take out the hands in his pockets.

No one knows what he has done in the past Chinese New Year's Eve, but Yin Hanruo knows a little——

Last night, Liu Yanbo was traumatized physically and mentally.

Facing Yin Hanruo, who was already in the rain, Liu Yanbo was panicked, he didn't even dare to look at her eyes anymore, he wanted to gently wipe away the tears on his face for her, but he didn't dare to pull his hand out of his pocket, so he had to try his best to stabilize his voice and said: "Don't cry, it won't be beautiful if you cry again." ”

"Let's go, let's go back and talk about what we have to say. ”

At this time, Liu Yanbo no longer had the courage to face the current Yin Hanruo, because he had realized that she should know and knew some things that he didn't want her to know.

It was his past, a nightmare that he would linger for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to mention it, and he was afraid that she would ask about it.

"Liu Yanbo..."Yin Hanruo reached out and grabbed Liu Yanbo, who wanted to go home, her eyes washed by tears were mixed with endless grievances and distress. "I'm your wife, can you not pretend to be strong in front of me all the time?

"Even if it's only for a moment, at least it will allow me to fulfill my responsibilities as your wife in this moment, okay?"

Yin Hanruo is begging, it is the first time in her life so far that she is so humble and begging people, but she will not feel ashamed, because the person she begged is Liu Yanbo, her husband, she just wants to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife as much as possible-

When he is sad and sad, he can comfort him;

When he is lonely and helpless, you can give him a hug.

The so-called husband and wife -

Isn't it just about supporting each other and relying on each other?

Liu Yanbo was struck by lightning, Yin Hanruo's words made him tremble physically and mentally, all the disguises he had created for himself before were about to fall apart at this moment, he suddenly felt so tired and tired, so tired that he wanted to fall to the ground, and then cry loudly.

Is Liu Yanbo a strong person?

He should be counted.

Even from some points of view, he Liu Yanbo is already a strong and hard-hearted person, because he has also experienced vicissitudes of life alone, and he has also endured the ups and downs of life alone in talking and laughing......

But such strength was never what he wanted.

In fact, there is no one in this world who is born strong, and everyone will cry at the moment of birth, venting the difficulty of being born.

The so-called strong -

It's just that people are compelled to get in the process of continuous growth, because no one really likes the helplessness of "the sun sets, and the broken intestines are at the end of the world", and those who say "I can live well alone" are just in-

Pretend to be strong!

This is everyone's natural instinct to be born, even Liu Yanbo, who regards human life as morning dew, will not be an exception, he can only hide this vulnerability better at most.

But now, Yin Hanruo has pierced it fiercely, making all his psychological defenses collapse.

Of course –

Liu Yanbo didn't really cry because of this, he just froze in place, and he dared to look at Yin Hanruo again.

He finally took off his disguise, and all the exhaustion gushed out from the depths of his heart at this moment, making his originally clear eyes seem to be clouded with gray and hollow.

At this moment, he finally pulled out the hands that had been in his pockets, and then slowly opened them, tired and weak: "Wife, can you hug me?"
