"You... Say... Miscellaneous... "Because the news was so shocking, my voice was already a little shaky, "But...... Why have I never heard her say that?"

Lin Yiyi's expression was a little bitter, there was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes, and she paused and said: "Xinyan and I grew up together, we are best friends, and we are also young." I believe that no third person in this school knows about this matter except me. Now, of course, you're the third person. "

After listening to Lin Yiyi's words, I was in a trance, recalling all kinds of encounters with Nie Xinyan before, and finally understood why every time she talked about her parents, she always looked in a melancholy daze. She never took the initiative to mention her mother, and I thought she had a bad relationship with her mother.

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I thought of some possibility, and hurriedly asked, "That day...... Is it her mother's festival?"

"......"

Lin Yiyi didn't answer my question, she held her chin with one hand, and just stared blankly ahead, her eyes were empty and dull, and I knew that she might have fallen into the memories of Xinyan. I didn't bother her, I sat quietly and waited, waiting for her thoughts to return.

......

There were very few people in the café anymore, and I looked around for a week and only saw a person busy in front of his laptop, and every now and then there was a faint keyboard sound.

Lin Yiyi finally came back to her senses, but there was still a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, and there was a little crystal in her eyes, she smiled at me slightly apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted for a while, let me tell you about Xinyan's childhood." "

This Lin Yiyi is too unfamiliar, I never thought that a Lin Yiyi, who is eclectic and fiery in Nie Xinyan's mouth and in my eyes, would show such a sentimental expression. Looking at her like this, I was a little stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to hear it?"

"Ah, listen, listen... I was a little distracted just now. "

Lin Yiyi picked up the cup that was no longer hot, took a sip gently, and said, "Actually, Xinyan and I can't be regarded as simple hair and small, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are half-sisters." My dad and her dad are very good friends, and in the words of you boys, they wear the same pair of pants. "

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when she described the relationship between her dad and Shin Yeon's dad. Lin Yiyi frowned and said, "I'm just trying to describe it appropriately, isn't it funny?"

"I didn't ...... No, you go on, I promise to keep quiet. I hurriedly waved my hands and said with a serious expression.

Lin Yiyi glared at me before she began to speak again: "At that time, Xinyan and I had just entered elementary school, and Xinyan's parents were very busy with work, so she often stayed at our house. Do you know? At that time, Xinyan was really cute, made of pink and jade, like a porcelain doll, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, so big that you could see that she would be a beauty embryo in the future. And I'm more honest, and I even suspect that my parents raised me as a boy. She glanced at me again, and when she saw that I didn't react, she spoke to herself again.

From the moment I heard Lin Yiyi talk about Nie Xinyan, I began to draw a picture scroll in my mind, and a pink little girl appeared in the picture, and I slowly moved Nie Xinyan's appearance closer to her, imagining what Nie Xinyan looked like when she was a child.

"At that time, we went to school together, went home together, ate together, played together, and were happy every day, and my parents were very good to her, and even surpassed me. You know what? For a while, I suspected that Xinyan was born to my parents. Speaking of this, Lin Yiyi showed a distressed expression on her face.

I listened quietly, occasionally taking a sip of my coffee that was almost bottoming out. In fact, my heart was already very anxious, but looking at Lin Yiyi's devotional appearance, I couldn't bear to disturb her, I just hoped to hear something useful from it.

"Then one day, Xinyan's parents picked her up, and I was very happy the day she left, but within a few days, I felt as if something was missing from my side and became lost. I suddenly wanted to see her again, go to school with her, and play with her. Finally one day, Xinyan was sent over by her parents again, she was still like that, I took her hand and gave her the doll I liked, and I was really happy during that time. "

But it didn't take long for the good days to come. Shin-yeon's mother was involved in an accident and is said to have died on the spot. Speaking of this, Lin Yiyi's voice was a little choked.

I handed her the tissue, she picked it up and gently wiped the sparkle from the corner of her eye, and said, "Thank you." Xinyan was stunned on the spot when she knew the news, I knew for the first time that the word tears were really not an exaggeration, and I couldn't make her stop crying when I gave her my favorite doll, for two whole days, I was tired of crying and fell asleep, and I woke up and cried again. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't stop crying until Shin Yeon's father said a word later. "

My thoughts kept surging with Lin Yiyi's description, and when I heard Nie Xinyan crying because of her mother's death, it seemed that scene appeared in front of my eyes, a little girl with pink makeup learned of her mother's death, and she couldn't stop crying, crying tired and sleeping, and woke up crying, what a painful torment it must be.

I wondered what kind of words Nie Xinyan's father would say to make a heartbroken little girl stop crying. Then he asked, "What did her father say?" "

"Her father said, 'Cry as much as you want, shed all the tears of your life, because your mother will never be able to wipe your tears for you anymore'. When Lin Yiyi finished saying this, her eyes were already moist, and she kept sobbing.

I felt as if something had entered my eyes, and tears kept flowing down, perhaps because I was blinded by the wind, or maybe I was hit by the deep fatherly love that hit my heart. I can't imagine how strong a man's heart must be to say such things to his daughter who has just lost his mother, and he has to cut his heart to the point of blood to make his daughter strong.

......

After a long time, Lin Yiyi calmed down and then got up, but her voice was still a little trembling.

"At that time, my parents were on the spot when they heard this, and I was still young and didn't understand it very well. But Xinyan immediately stopped her tears when she heard this, and since then I haven't seen Xinyan shed a single tear, maybe just like her father said, she shed tears for a lifetime. But along with it, she won't smile anymore. After Lin Yiyi finished saying this, she looked at me with a hint of bitterness on her face, "Until I met you at the airport the day before school started." "

"The airport?" my eyes widened, "how is that possible? I must have met her for the first time on the court?"

"It's the airport, yes, I'm sure of that. As for the details, she didn't tell me, so you can ask her personally when you have a chance in the future. Lin Yiyi said very resolutely.

"Xinyan, who has not been smiling for nearly ten years, actually told me happily on the day she first came to school that she met a funny boy at the airport, and the most surprising thing to me was that she was smiling and talking to me at the time, and I can't even remember the last time I saw her dimples. But then it seemed that there was no follow-up, she was lost for a long time, and returned to the previous state. I felt sorry for her, so I wanted to help her find the boy she was talking about. But the city is so big, it's not easy to find a person, and I don't even have a general idea of what the boy looks like, and even more so, what if the boy isn't from the city at all?"

"Is that really me?" I couldn't help but ask, four years had passed since she said it, and all I remember was getting out of the airport in a black car, and I couldn't think of anything else.

"I'm sure that person is definitely you, and you may not remember what you did, but Xinyan definitely remembers. Fate is sometimes really wonderful, a year later in the school basketball game, in order not to let Xinyan be too bored alone, I took her with me to cheer for the class, and when she passed by the court that day, she watched a person for a long time. I didn't respond to my shouting, and it was a long time before she told me excitedly that she had seen the boy. I was still wondering at the time, but I didn't know what she said until I thought about it. At that time, she pointed to you and told me that it was him. "

"But I still can't remember. "

"If you can't think of it, don't think about it, I'll tell you about the next thing. I was still thinking about how to make Xinyan and you intersect, and then the draw for the competition came, fortunately, our department happened to draw your department, so I gave Xinyan an idea to let her go and send water to her classmates, and by the way, I also gave you a bottle. Saying that, Lin Yiyi looked at me again, "You should always have an impression of these things, right?"

I nodded, remembering the first time we met. No, it should be the scene of the first meeting in my opinion, after a ball game, the body is exhausted, and there is an extreme lack of water, and we are only concerned about seeing beautiful girls...... Ignore us tired players. When my mouth was dry, a bottle of water appeared in front of me, no, the first thing I noticed was the slender hand holding the water. When I looked up, I saw a shallow smiling face, and a pair of dimples were so chic.

Lin Yiyi looked at me and continued: "Since then, Xinyan has become smiling, and dimples that have not been seen for a long time will often appear on her face. But what I never expected was that you brought her a smile and a tear back at the same time. It didn't take long for Xinyan to tell me that she confessed to you. "

"No, it's obvious that I confessed to her. "

"You to her?"

"That's right...... Hey, no, we both confessed to each other at the same time. I thought back to the details of the time and replied.

Lin Yiyi didn't dwell on this question anymore, and said: "But what I never expected was that while you brought her laughter, you also returned her tears." Do you know what she said to me the day you two decided to date?"

"What did she say?"

......
