"Dongzi, let's break up!"

"Xiaoyi, I love you!"

"Dongzi, let's be realistic, okay?"

"Reality?"

"Love is too ethereal, we have been talking about love for seven whole years, meeting, knowing, falling in love, I gave you my most precious seven years of youth, but you only gave me an indefinite blank check!"

"Xiaoyi, I know I'm not good enough, but I'll work hard, can I wait!"

"Dongzi, I've been waiting for seven years, I'm tired of waiting, the Lu family is going bankrupt, I can't watch my parents' hard work run out...... I'm getting married tomorrow! ”

"Married? And with whom? ”

"Wang Jie!"

"No, he's a dude at all, and if you marry him, you won't be happy."

"Leaving you, I don't care about the so-called happiness anymore, my happiness is only you, it was you who let me down!"

"I ......"

Pearl City, this magic capital reflected under neon lights, between the red and green lights, He Dong walked on the noisy streets with some numbness, interspersed with dense crowds, he was confused, and his mind thought about the scene from an hour ago.

Lu Xiaoyi, that ethereal lily.

She is beautiful, she is fresh and refined, she is the lover he has always held in the palm of his hand, they all say that love has a seven-year itch, three years in college, four years of work, a whole seven years, they are all in love, they once swore that they used to treat each other as the only one.

However, their love still lost to the helpless reality.

On both sides of the Huangpu River, under the refraction of neon lights, the Bund at the epicenter of the famous epicenter bloomed its most brilliant night scene, and He Dong walked aimlessly by the railing of the Bund.

"Junior brother, what's your name?"

"He Dong!"

He can't forget that year, when she was a sophomore, she received him as a freshman at the station, with a long white dress, black hair, and a touch of pure beauty in the breeze, like a clear spring, moisturizing him who was broken and haggard at that time.

In his sophomore year, he took a lily and offered it to her, he confessed, she agreed, and then, they fell in love.

She once let go of her arrogance for him.

She once quarreled with her parents and broke up with the family for him.

She once gave up her dream for him.

……

She has done enough for him, it is he who is useless, love is beautiful, but it can't be eaten, in this somewhat exaggerated magic capital with high prices, he is just a small worker, no house or car, and guards a salary of thousands of yuan every month.

What qualifications do you have to say love.

He Dong stopped his aimless steps, guarded the railing with both hands, looked at the surging water of the Huangpu River, and muttered: "Xiaoyi, if you leave me, I can make you happy, I bless you!" ”

He didn't blame her.

Even if she is getting married tomorrow.

He just blamed himself for his incompetence.

He Dong understood a truth very early, love must pass the test of reality, but he was addicted to his dreams, and he was unwilling to accept it, and now, when he woke up from the dream, he had to accept it, if a girl was willing to waste seven years on a useless man, it was enough to prove her love for him, and also proved that this man was useless.

Her heart is still his, it's just that he can't love it.

Poof!

Suddenly, a loud sound of falling water sounded, waking up He Dong, who was silent in his memory, he trembled, turned his head, and saw a little girl falling into the water about ten meters away from the guardrail on his left hand.

"Help! Help me! My daughter fell into the water, I can't swim, who will save my daughter! "A young mother, holding her face, knelt at the railing, crying out loud.

Poof!

He Dong was the closest person to the water, he didn't hesitate at all, an instinct made him jump directly into the river, and then dived under the water in one breath, and with one hand, he caught the little girl who had fallen into a coma and sunk to the bottom.

His water nature is actually not very good, and he is a little afraid of water, and he can barely reach the level of water, after he fished the little girl with one hand, he wanted to go ashore quickly, but after pulling a few times, he couldn't pull it.

Stuck.

I don't know that there is a hook extending there, hooking the little girl's little skirt, He Dong is helpless, he is a little out of breath, but he can only continue to sink, with both hands, and finally get the hook that hooks the skirt away.

When the little girl was pushed onto the water, He Dong's whole body was exhausted, and he had no strength in his body, and choked on several mouthfuls of river water.

At this moment, there was only Lu Xiaoyi's delicate smile in his mind.

The home is broken, the relatives are gone, the love is lost, the lover is also lost, he has achieved nothing, there is nothing!

Is there any point in being alive?

"Come up, young man!"

"Hand on, pull this guy up!"

“……”

When he gave up on himself, he could no longer see the hands of the people on the shore stretched out, nor could he hear the cries of the people on the shore, and his body sank bit by bit, as if sinking into the dark abyss.

He Dong closed his eyes, lost consciousness, and his last thought was: "Lu Xiaoyi, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to exchange wealth for your flowers!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ding Ding Ding!

The sound of the alarm clock made He Dong a little annoyed, obviously feeling cold, he was a little cold, he pulled the quilt and wrapped himself, but the sound of the alarm clock still didn't stop, he had to stretch out a hand, follow his usual instinctive habits, and touched the head of the bed, but he didn't touch the alarm clock.

Where is the alarm clock?

He Dong had no choice but to open his eyes, but what caught his eyes was not the chandelier ceiling that he had always been familiar with in the rental house in Pearl City, but the kind of old house, the pale yellow and somewhat mottled ceiling, the color of this ceiling was actually very familiar to him.

His hometown, the building of Bashan City in the 90s, the old house of the municipal government compound, his son is the district mayor of Taishan District, Bashan City, and he was assigned a house here.

But that's a long way off.

"Dreaming, must be dreaming!"

He Dong opened his eyes wide, looked at this familiar and unfamiliar scene, and naturally made up his mind, and then closed his eyes again, and continued to fall asleep, but in less than a minute, he couldn't sleep.

It feels so real that you can't fall asleep even if you force yourself to sleep.

So, He Dong opened his eyes again, and what entered the depths of his eyes was still the pale yellow ceiling.

"It's ......"

He Dong didn't move, but glanced at it with some apprehensive eyes, this small house of fifteen or sixteen square meters, with a pot of blue flowers on the windowsill, was very familiar.

It was his room, the room before he was eighteen, unusually familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

Oops!

He Dong was a little panicked, where was the dream so real, he wanted to sit up and take a closer look, but because of moving his body, he suddenly touched the pain on his body, which was a hot pain, as if he had been beaten hard all over his body.

I was really beaten up!

He Dong endured the pain, stood up strongly, and looked at himself in the mirror, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, naïve, vibrant, with an old-fashioned T-shirt on his body, and a pair of gorgeous white jeans on his lower body, a rebellious teenager.

There were still some bruises on Jun's face that hadn't faded.

"Is this me?" He Dong was frightened.

This is him, if he remembers correctly, this is him in his third year of high school, at the age of eighteen.

He came back to his senses, the whole person's emotions couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, anyway, he was a little panicked, he pinched his left hand with his right hand, and pinched himself hard, this strong pain told him that he was not dreaming.

"What's going on?"

He Dong, who has always been atheist, swallowed his saliva, he wanted to ask for proof of his current situation, he glanced around his small room, and saw the alarm clock on the desk, he directly grabbed the alarm clock on the desk.

The date of the little boxy alarm clock is very clear - January 2, and if you look at a desk calendar on my desk, the desk calendar has turned to the last page - December 2005!

The calendar should not have time to change, then it should be now, January 2, 2006.

What is this possible?

"Dongzi, you're awake!"

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a young and pretty young woman with a bowl of hot Chinese medicine in both hands walked in, and said in a gentle tone: "Just wake up, drink the medicine first, now there are so many things happening at home, my mother has fallen ill, you should stay at home and recuperate, don't go out to make trouble!" ”

"Sister-in-law!"

He Dong looked at the young woman with a hint of moisture in his eyes.

After his parents and eldest brother died, it was Xu Yan, the sister-in-law, who never gave up, with a two-year-old baby, got up early in the dark and worked for her to go to college, he once wanted to repay him well, but in his junior year, his sister-in-law and little niece had a car accident together and died on the spot.

"Dongzi, does it still hurt?" Xu Yan raised his head, his beautiful eyes flashed, he looked at the little uncle a little strangely, and said with concern: "Why don't I go to the doctor again to take a look!" ”

"No, I'm fine!"

He Dong quickly cleaned up his emotions, lowered his head, took the bowl of Chinese medicine, drank it, he hung his head vigorously, and did not let his sister-in-law Xu Yan see the tears that overflowed with excitement in the corners of his eyes.

It turned out to be true, he actually returned to January 2006.

January 2006 was a black month that drove He Dong from the paradise of happiness to the infernal hell.

He remembers very well that on January 5, 2006, his father, He Lixin, the head of Taishan District, Bashan City, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for accepting bribes, embezzling public property, and many crimes.

On January 10, 2006, my father committed suicide in prison, on January 15, my eldest brother had a conflict with the prisoner in prison, had an accident and died on the spot, and on January 18, my mother Yu Xiu couldn't stand the blow, swallowed sleeping pills, and died forever.

In just one month, only he was left in the entire He family, his sister-in-law Xu Yan, a two-year-old niece.

……

"Dongzi, what's wrong with you?" Xu Yan asked with concern.

"Sister-in-law, what year is it today?"

He Dong raised his head, forcibly suppressing his excitement, wanting to verify it again.

If God gave him a chance to do it all over again, he would never let his relatives fall into such a fate again.

"Just entered the sixth year of zero, January 2nd!" Xu Yan picked up the empty bowl, looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said suspiciously: "Dongzi, what's wrong with you, are you making a big fuss and being beaten, or I'd better go find a doctor, don't scare your sister-in-law!" ”

"I'm fine!"

He Dong had a shy smile on his childish face.

With a strong nerve line, at this moment, he didn't think too much, only one thought: It's good to be back!

The tragedy of the He family, he wants to rewrite.

"It's okay, just take the medicine obediently, I've already made dinner, put it in the kitchen, you take a break, come out and eat it yourself, Mom can't sleep well these days, I'll buy some soothing medicine for Mom, don't run around at home!"

Now that her father-in-law and husband are locked up, her mother-in-law is sick again, and the pressure of the whole family is on her, Xu Yan doesn't care too much about He Dong's abnormality.
