This Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Shengnan was accompanied by his whole family, Li Ruhan's phone, greeting messages from colleagues and friends, and a text message from an unfamiliar number: I love, happy holidays!

After staring at the mobile phone screen for a long time, she sighed softly, she knew that this message must have been sent by Xiao Rui, but he still couldn't put it down, but what could it be? Everyone said that there was a fate between her and Li Ruhan, but Lu Shengnan actually didn't believe in this thing; if it was fate, she and Xiao Rui should be, going to the same school, seeing each other at a glance in the bustling crowd, however, what could it be, it was not a lonely turn, a vain affection, in the final analysis, it was also fateless.

On the same Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Ruhan watched the Spring Festival Gala with an old man with silver hair but elegant demeanor in an old-fashioned villa in the capital, from time to time handed the old man sliced fruit or a glass of water, and when he encountered a program that the old man did not like, he would talk about his beloved girls with joy, tell some interesting things about their daily life to the old man, and the people who said it were full of joy, and the people who listened couldn't help but nod their heads with satisfaction.

"Grandma, Katsu Nan is really a very good girl, although her family conditions are not very good, but she works very hard, will you like her?" Li Ruhan asked a little nervously, he could ignore his father's opinion, but his grandmother was his most important relative, and he hoped that his beloved girl could be liked by his grandmother.

"As long as Ruhan likes grandma, let the girl come to see grandma, grandma was worried that she wouldn't see you get married and start a family, and when grandma goes to see your grandfather and mother one day, how can you explain to them, and now you are willing to seize the sunshine in life, grandma is very happy." ”

"Great, Katsuo will be here in two days, grandma don't freak her out. ”

The old man nodded his forehead and smiled: "You stinky boy, does this count as having a daughter-in-law and forgetting your grandmother?"

Li Ruhan was a little embarrassed: "Grandma, Shengnan and I will definitely accompany you well and make you happy every day." ”

The old man smiled and nodded, and said nothing more.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve in G City, Xiao Rui walked alone on the campus of No. 1 Middle School, the school had long since changed, the once rows of classrooms were replaced by several teaching buildings and dormitory buildings, and the playground once planted with weeping willows was replaced by a colorful rubber and lawn; at that time, the middle of the playground was still yellow earth, and when they played basketball or football here, many girls and children gathered around and screamed to cheer for their favorite boys. When he and Lu Shengnan were in love, he would also come to play, how lazy Lu Shengnan was at that time, he would never scream around when he was dragged over by himself, and he couldn't help but wait for her cheers triumphantly after getting into a difficult ball, but as long as he turned around, he would see the chubby figure sitting next to his bag holding a book and reading it with relish.

Even now that I think about it, Xiao Rui doesn't know how he likes Lu Shengnan, Lu Shengnan at that time was chubby, always likes to wear black or dark blue clothes, if it weren't for that long hair, he would probably be regarded as a boy; she doesn't like to talk, she doesn't take classes very seriously, and she is always confused, except for Zhang Li, who basically doesn't get along well with classmates, her only hobby is reading, all kinds of extracurricular books are read, and I helped her collect a lot of books at that time; she basically ignores any movement around her when she reads, even when she is dating herself, she often takes a book, and forgets that she is still next to her when she looks at it。

At that time, Xiao Rui had a few awkward fights with her because of this, and even ignored her angrily, she would apologize every time, promising that she would not do it in the future, but she turned her head and buried it in the book; Xiao Rui once thought about breaking up with her, but without her quiet follow, Xiao Rui would not be used to it, and always felt that it was wrong to do anything; I remember that once Xiao Rui wanted her to reflect, and insisted on not going to her for a week, nor did he talk to her and pass a note, as a result, when she couldn't hold on for a week and went to her dormitory to find her, she was lying on the bed reading Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and she didn't even hear herself knock on the door; Xiao Rui was so angry that he turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, he thought about his depressed mood and could only turn back and ask her out, what could he do, who let himself like to stay with her。

Walking from the playground to the only remaining poplar forest in the school, although it has now been planned and renovated, with the fountain pool and the stone path, you can still find the shadow of that time, and sit by the fountain pool, because it is winter, there is no water in it, and some fallen leaves and dust are scattered in the pool. The thick trunk in front of it was the position where Lu Shengnan often sat at that time, Xiao Rui had actually seen her here a few times before he knew Lu Shengnan, and her dark blue men's suit was really eye-catching.

Thinking like this, Xiao Rui seemed to see the chubby figure at that time again, and couldn't help but walk to the poplar tree and reach out to caress her face, but he could only touch the cold trunk, and the rough touch made him come back to his senses, and a wry smile overflowed his thin lips.

At that time, although Lu Shengnan often made himself angry and injured, but the time at that time was really happy and happy; Later, Xiao Rui's family changed suddenly, and he was sent to the capital by his father, the home of the head of the army when his father was in the army; and then the news came that his uncle confessed his guilt and was imprisoned, he thought that he could return to G City soon, and he must first go to Lu Shengnan to explain when he goes back.

Before the suitcase was zipped up, he received a call that his father had died in a car accident, and he hurried back to G City to help his mother deal with his father's funeral, and his mother told him all the things and gave him the passbook left by his father, which was a huge amount of money; after his father was buried, his mother told him that his father died of murder, and asked him to bring the person who murdered his father to justice, so that his father and mother would feel at ease, although the person was in a high position, he knew how difficult it was, and still cried and agreed; his mother happily said that he wanted to rest for a while and went to the bedroom, and he never woke up from this rest。

Xiao Rui's plans were all disrupted, and after burying his mother, he went to the capital again, and this time he went for twelve years; several times when he couldn't hold on, he would think of Lu Shengnan's light smile, and he looked dumbfounded, he believed that Lu Shengnan would wait for him, and who else would be so patient with her besides himself.

Now he has finally fulfilled his promise to his mother, but Lu Shengnan is no longer there.

People are probably like this, when they are young, they will think that everything can be realized, and happiness can be tightly held in their hands, so they will go forward without looking back, and when they reach the destination, they will realize how much scenery they have missed, and the person who should accompany them has already embarked on a fork in the road.

Fireworks suddenly burst into the night sky, dazzling like stars, Xiao Rui looked up in a daze, and tears slipped down unconsciously······
