The album flipped to the end, and a photo fell out of the mezzanine of the album.

Mother Li just wanted to bend over, but April bent down in front of her and picked up the photo on the ground.

When she handed the photo to Li's mother, she glanced at it inadvertently, the background of the photo was a white snow, and a girl in a red woolen dress was turning her head and smiling at the camera.

The person who took the picture was obviously very good at capturing, and took pictures of the agility in the girl's eyes, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and smiled innocently and sweetly.

April blinked a little stinging eye and silently withdrew her gaze.

After Li Mu re-clipped the photo, she glanced at her slightly, and then she took out an old-fashioned red jewelry box from her arms, opened the box, and took out a gold bracelet.

"The first time we met today, I don't have anything to give you, this bracelet was passed down by my grandmother, and now, I give it to you." Mother Li bent her eyebrows, took one of April's hands, and carefully put the bracelet on April's wrist.

She took a closer look and said with a smile in her eyes, "Look, how suitable you are." ”

April was a little embarrassed and shirked: "This is too valuable, I can't take it." As she spoke, she wanted to take off the bracelet, but Mother Li stretched out her hand to stop her movements.

"This is also counted as the jewelry I passed on to my prospective daughter-in-law, you don't accept it, but you look down on me as a wife."

As soon as Mother Li's words came out, April withdrew her hand with a sigh, "I didn't mean that." ”

"I know you're a good boy." Mother Li laughed again and patted the back of her hand gently.

April silently looked at the bracelet in her hand, a little heavy, this weight went straight to the bottom of her heart, heavy, and she was a little breathless.

The eleventh holiday passed quickly, and they stayed in this small bungalow for a total of 5 days, and on the sixth day, Li Yu's company temporarily called him to work overtime, and left with Li Yu in April.

Li Yu sent her directly to the train station, and before he could send her to the train, he hurried back to the company.

April was alone at the train station, slowly waiting for the train to come in, and his heart was very calm.

Li Yu's family is very friendly to her, if nothing else, the next time, when she returns to S City again, she will settle down here. In the past few days at Li Yu's house, Li's mother knocked on the side several times and asked her when she planned to marry Li Yu, but April didn't say anything about it, only said to listen to Li Yu.

She always felt that Li Yu's parents were very anxious about Li Yu's marriage, and they didn't ask too much about her.

Looking at the time, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, and she bought a ticket for twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still two hours. April thought about it, so he found a ramen restaurant and ordered a bowl of knife-cut noodles. The amount of knife-cut noodles is very large, I ate it for a while in April, there is still a lot left, and her stomach is a little supportive, she is not in a hurry, she just sits here and eats slowly.

After eating the noodles, April's stomach was already very distended, so she walked around the train station to digest the accumulated food in her stomach.

And the phone rang at this time.

It's Gu Qingyan.

After more than half a year, this name appeared in front of her again. I still remember the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, he called her and wished her a happy Spring Festival, and after that, there was no news for a long time. She has long been accustomed to living without him, and he, how could it be so coincidental, called when she was about to leave S City.

This is the second time, and the last time, when she was about to go to Z City, it was also his call. Is it really predestined?

April picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

“…… Lin April. A rustling voice

"Hmm."

"You...... Going? ”

“…… Well. "April was a little confused. She waited quietly for a while, and when she saw that there was no sound on the phone, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Gu Qingyan replied quickly.

"Oh." April answered, and there was no more to say.

"Then I'll hang up." Gu Qingyan's tone was light.

"Okay."

"Goodbye."

"Again—" The phone snapped and hung up, April was stunned and muttered softly, goodbye.

Her tone was very soft, and as soon as the wind blew, it dispersed.

And on this side, Gu Qingyan lowered her head and stared at the photo in her hand with clear eyes.

The camera moves closer, and the photo is a woman with very dark pupils, the corners of her mouth are slightly lower, and she is looking forward with a depressed gaze, as if she wants to pierce people's hearts like sharp arrows through the photo.

He let out a light breath and tossed the picture on the table, his eyes half-closed lazily with a pensive expression.

The moment the phone was answered and the woman spoke, he suddenly changed his mind.

The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile, and his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were as cold as moonlight.

Nothing is irreplaceable.

On the other hand, April returned to Z City and continued his old life. In Li Yu's phone calls to her, more and more of her plans after marriage were mentioned, and every time at this time, April would listen very carefully and occasionally discuss her opinions with him. Sometimes, Li's mother would also call her to greet her, and every time April answered it, she would be a little nervous, and later, Li's mother also comforted her on the phone and told her not to be so nervous.

Life seems to be developing in a better and better direction, and I am getting more and more motivated to work in April.

Maybe it's because I have a hope in my heart, and the days will pass faster than usual, and in a blink of an eye, it's the end of December. This year's winter was colder than in previous years, and the house rented in April was not heated, so she could only wrap herself in a thick quilt and shrink inside to talk to Li Yu on the phone.

Because it was a year ago, when all companies were working overtime, it was very difficult for Li Yu to ask for leave. He knew that April's living conditions were not good, and he was a little distressed, so he directly persuaded her to come back to him, and April smiled and said that it didn't matter, and he would go to him when the spring of the next year came.

Due to the cold, the chilblains she hadn't given birth to for a long time flared up again, her hands were red and swollen, and there was a crack on the back of her right hand, revealing the flesh inside, which looked quite terrible. She was in the pancake business, and she couldn't wear gloves, so her hands were only exposed in the air, and she shivered with cold.

Originally, she thought that when the students had winter vacation, she would take a break for half a month, purchase some New Year's goods, and have a good New Year. But one morning when she woke up, she opened the window and found that it was covered in snow, and her entire vision was covered with snow, and the world was white.

When she turned on the TV, she learned that Z City and several neighboring cities had suffered a once-in-a-century blizzard. Z City is a small prefecture-level city in the south, and it rarely snows, and this heavy snow is so fierce that people are a little caught off guard. For safety reasons, the students have taken the summer vacation early, and the ground is difficult to walk, and they can only stay at home honestly in April.

When Li Yu saw the news, he called April as soon as possible, and it was difficult to hide his worry between the words. April reported his safety and explained to him that he would stay in the house these days, and Li Yu was relieved. A few days later, Xiao Li also called her to offer condolences, and on the phone, his tone was still a little ridiculous, but April knew that he was caring about her, and his heart was warm.

After the two chatted casually, Xiao Li suddenly asked her, "In April, are you with Li Yu?" ”

April was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect him to ask this question, and after a few seconds of silence, she replied lightly: "Well, we've been together for half a year." ”

Xiao Li stopped talking on the phone and asked her, "Did it start after that station farewell?" ”

"Well, it was after that time, and we were together after a while."

"April, you ......" Xiao Li paused for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that Li Yu is my senior brother, I shouldn't say anything, but I still have to advise you, you still have to think about it carefully." ”

April clenched her phone, was silent for a moment, and quietly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"In April, you have been with him for half a year, haven't you noticed anything abnormal?" Xiao Li said softly.

Abnormal?

April's eyes widened blankly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, she hastily lowered her head and focused her gaze on a printed pattern on the quilt.

"April, are you listening to me?" Xiao Li waited for a moment, but did not receive an echo from April, and couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows, and threw the pen in his hand on the table.

"Nope." April spoke a little hurriedly: "Li Yu, he is very good to me, and his family is also very good. ”

Through the radio waves, the breathing sound that came to the phone was a little heavy, Xiao Li listened carefully, and his keen insight let him know that April was lying, but he didn't expose it, but just said meaningfully: "April, you listen to me, there is a woman living in Li Yu's heart, and you will never be able to compete with her." ”

Xiao Li just stopped at the point. Because, after all, Li Yu is his senior brother, and April is also his friend, he can only mention her a little and give her the choice.

April opened her mouth, and her mind flashed the profile photo of the woman in Li Yu's bedroom, the portrait that Li Yu sketched with a few strokes on the sofa, and finally stayed on the photo that Li's mother dropped when she flipped through the photo album.

The face of a woman with a vivid and bright smile.

She closed her eyes, and her voice was so soft that it seemed to be blown away by the wind, "Xiao Li, thank you." ”

Thank you for being a friend to remind me, but I still want to give it a try, one last time.

Before hanging up the phone, Xiao Li sighed leisurely: "You, ......" The second half of the sentence was retracted by his leisurely mouth, and April had no way of knowing what he wanted to say after he had not finished speaking.
