001 The Age of the Fog Revelation
Hanwen is a rainy city, and when the rainy season comes, the rain is always pouring down.
This is a two-story single-door courtyard, which is an old house with a sense of age.
Although the house was large, it was empty inside, and the windows were not properly closed.
The rain hit the bay window, and the rain spilled in, splashing the curtains on the side.
It feels like a haunted house.
However, there is an owner in the house.
He sat quietly on the couch and watched the TV news without turning on the lights, and today's news brought about the flood disaster flood prevention news.
His beard seemed to have been unshaven for a long time, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know if he was watching the broadcast.
After two years of desperate struggles with death, Su Mo's wife, Xia Yili, finally left him a few days ago.
A serious illness caused Su Mo to scatter all the family property that he had accumulated with great difficulty.
You can earn it again when the money is gone, but if you don't have Yili by your side-
There was no way for him to get back on his feet.
Before they met each other, he and she had an ordinary family background and lived an ordinary life.
If you have to say it, Su Mo's grades in school were not bad, and Xia Yili was just cute.
The two became each other's first love after they met in college, and they got married early within two years of graduation.
The first few years after marriage were very embarrassing days for the two.
But it was also the happiest time.
He and Xia Yili are crammed into a small rental house, Su Mo lives a 9-to-10 social animal life, Xia Yili gets off work much earlier, so she will prepare delicious meals and wait for Su Mo's return;
And if there is a chance to take a holiday, they will go to the movies together and go shopping together...... Occasionally, I will have the luxury of traveling together.
However, because both of them are introverts, even if they go out to travel, they will not post commemorative photos in the circle of friends.
It will only be saved and used as their own screensaver.
With the cooperation of Xia Yili in managing the family, the couple worked hard to save every money, first helping Su Mo's father pay off the debts accumulated before.
In the end, they finally saved enough money to save a down payment for a new house in Hanwen City.
thought that this was the beginning of a better life, but fate played a sad joke with Su Mo, and hastily drew a rest.
Su Mo's mobile phone rang non-stop, and by the time Su Mo reacted and took the phone, the phone had already hung up.
The phone showed more than a dozen missed calls.
It's already at this point.
Su Mo pulled on a slipper and hesitated to the junction of the living room and the stairs.
He didn't know whether to cook or sleep, but no matter what he did...... have lost their original meaning.
The sound of the rain still echoed in my ears.
"If only we hadn't met......"
"Then you won't have to suffer this for me."
His ears suddenly echoed what Yili had said to him a few days before he died.
At that time, Su Mo took care of Xia Yili's emotions, just to comfort her not to think blindly, and let her relax and recuperate.
Perhaps, at that time, this claim should be well denied.
If you had denied it then......
Su Mo recalled many things he felt he hadn't done well in the past two years, and his feelings of frustration overflowed his heart.
A strong desire to confide in my throat overflowed, but there was no one to talk to.
He has done his best to maintain an optimistic and strong husband image in front of his wife.
But in retrospect, for the wife who was very considerate of his own heart, what he had done all this time was probably just some futile efforts.
At this moment, Su Mo's eyes were attracted by a doll that had fallen on the corner of the stairs.
It's a pear-shaped pillow, and the doll's expression is that of a cute one, lying quietly on the stairs, staring blankly at the ceiling.
How did it end up in that position?
Su Mo walked up the stairs, stepped forward to pick up the doll pillow, and gently dusted off the remaining dust on the pillow.
It was her favorite pillow during her lifetime.
If you are found to be thrown on the ground, you will definitely be scolded.
The corners of Su Mo's mouth unconsciously raised a smile—and at this moment, he suddenly smelled a nostalgic smell.
The smell is—
Su Mo hugged the pillow tightly in his arms, and then squatted in the corner of the stairs, greedily sucking the nostalgic aroma emanating from the pillow......
The past is reminded of each other.
The sound of the rain was still dripping.
This rainy season in Hanwen City may last for a long time, but there will always be a day when it will end.
But for Su Mo, this rainy season ......
I'm afraid there will never be an end to it.
Su Mo, who was in a daze, sat quietly in the corner of the room, listening to the sound of the rain, smelling the already faint smell, and slowly closed his eyes.
……
I don't know how long it took, Su Mo finally regained consciousness.
But when he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, the sound of rain in his ears was gone, replaced by the noise of cicadas, the harsh sun shining on his face, and he realized that he was standing at the intersection of a shopping street.
He stood at the intersection for a long time, and only came to his senses after a long time.
The street scene has a sense of déjà vu, but it's not exactly what he knows—
Here it is...... Baimei County?
The place where Su Mo's hometown is located.
The mobile phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated non-stop,
Su Mo immediately subconsciously reached out to get the mobile phone - Nozia's key machine?
Not only that, but the date displayed on his phone made him speechless in shock.
June 9, 2010?
Isn't that ...... Is it the second day after you finish the college entrance examination?
Noticing his somewhat thin white arms, he reached out and touched his cheek.
It seems like...... Not quite the same?
So Su Mo hurriedly ran to the window of the clothing store, only to see the young man reflected in the glass window, with a face completely different from the original eighteen-year-old self.
This is a very popular face that can no longer be described as ordinary.
However, at this moment, the stereo of the clothing store played a popular song of this era-
[I had a dream last night]
[In the dream, we return to holding hands]
【……】
[Your gray avatar won't jump anymore]
[Warm dreams become cold shackles]
[If we go back in time, what can we catch]
After quietly listening to the song full of age, tears couldn't stop overflowing from Su Mo's eyes.
He couldn't hold back his time any longer...... Or, the emotions that have been suppressed over the years -
He tried his best to play the role of a positive and optimistic strong husband in front of Yiri, and he had long forgotten how to cry, but this young body made him cry easily.
He cried and cried, and suddenly laughed loudly, frightening the passers-by far away.
This is Hanwen City in 2010.
In 2010, the Penguin Music triumvirate debuted on the stage of the domestic music scene, singing their "non-mainstream" songs everywhere in the streets and alleys and KTVs;
In 2010, Nozia's mobile phone empire was in full swing, and the Apple that had been bitten by God released their fourth-generation product, marking the dawn of an era;
In 2010, the MOBA game that dominated the university dormitory had not yet entered the national server, and most netizens' perception of e-sports players was still stuck in the era of the rule of the emperor a few years ago;
In 2010, housing prices were not as devouring a young man's capital as they are now. Despite occasional disappointments, everyone is still full of hope for the future and believes that they can change their fate by relying on their own efforts;
In 2010, Su Mo and Xia Yili had not yet had time to meet at the crossroads of their lives-
It is also understandable to have the opportunity to do it all over again, to use the experience of the previous ten years and the overall improvement of the appearance, to experience a new life, and to seek a more beautiful encounter-
Rather, this is the choice that normal people would make.
However, for Su Mo, he only wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to protect her well.
He also hopes to dedicate his whole world to the girl named Xia Yili.
But this time...... It would be a better place for the whole world.
