The quiet clouds in April are full of flowers.

The warm afternoon sun shines through the dense sycamore leaves, sprinkling a mottled patch of broken shadows.

In that light and shadow, Liu Xiu lowered his head and smiled.

It's weird.

When Shangguan Chen encountered such a thing, she should have gloated and laughed happily, why did she suddenly feel a little sympathy for that person.

Maybe it's because that person, like the old brother, is a person who is not treated by Ouyang Fuqian.

Yes, that's it, Liu Xiu thought like that and persuaded himself to feel a trace of sympathy that rose slightly, and looked towards the round of bright sun in the sky.

"Did you miss me?"

A hearty laugh suddenly came from not far away.

Well? Liu Xiu was slightly stunned, followed the sound and looked over, his eyes fell on the two people who were gradually approaching, and in an instant, he turned his gaze away again.

Damn!

These two are enough, and they show their affection in front of her so openly!

"Acacia is no longer idle."

In the next second, the unique Qingyue smiling voice belonging to the girl came.

She didn't have to look back to know that voice, Ouyang Fuqian's voice!

That unique and pleasant voice is like the string of wind chimes in childhood memories, moving with the wind, leaving a crisp sound.

She remembered the voice too clearly.

She remembered the silver bell-like laughter of the man, the voice of the most beautiful and likable "cousin" in childhood memory.

Just because, in her childhood, she and her brother, as well as the Hulai brothers and sisters, were all local dialects that were scum, and the cousin from a hundred kilometers away spoke a good standard Mandarin.

Most of the time, the "cousin" talked and chatted with them very gently, but when teaching them boxing, he would become very strict, and he would kick his beard from time to time, and occasionally hit his brother twice.

It's just that he never hit her!

The cousin in my memory! That cousin who taught them a lot of Tang poems and Song poems! That cousin who taught her a lot of ways to tie her pigtails! The cousin who had said he would come to see them again in the future! The cousin who encouraged them to study hard and go to Jingyun to study!

Why is it gone? Where has she gone?

Liu Xiu blinked her eyes that were a little sour.

She used to naively think that cousin, as said in her childhood memories, when they grow up, they will play together again, and when they go to Jingyun to study, they will still be as intimate as when they were children.

However, since that summer vacation many years ago, after meeting, acquaintance, frolicking, and farewell, that cousin has disappeared.

In the next two years, that cousin never came to Liujia Village again, and slowly, the memory of that person gradually faded. Just when they were almost forgetting the existence of that person, the "cousin" suddenly wrote again.

She wrote a letter to her brother and sent a pale blue glass ball with a lot of fine grit inside.

The old brother said that it was an hourglass, and when he said that, there was an infinite smile on his face.

My brother was very precious about the so-called hourglass, and he only let her play it once, so he put it away and put it in the corner of the desk in his classroom, and no one was allowed to touch it.

The "cousin" said to the elder brother in the letter that he hoped that in the future, they could study together in Jingyun No. 1 Middle School.

She believes that the letter gave her brother a shock and firm belief: the elder brother spent all his time studying, and finally became the first place in the 12th school in the eastern district of Yunling County in the first semester of the fifth grade.

She is also convinced that her brother's grades are enough to be admitted to Jingyun No. 1 Middle School, but everything is not as beautiful as she imagined.

In the year when my brother went to junior high school, Jingyun No. 1 Middle School canceled the plan to enroll students in the county.

Liu Xiu raised his hand and lightly nodded his somewhat sour nose.

The past is unbearable.

She once naively thought that in the summer vacation after the end of her brother's junior high school, that cousin might come to see her brother, comfort the injured brother, and tell him that it doesn't matter, you can see you again in high school and college.

Or maybe the cousin would send them a letter telling them that she couldn't come for one reason or another, but she still remembered them and hoped to see them again in the future.

From the end of June to the beginning of September, the man did not come, and the letter did not arrive.

She looked at her brother's silent expression, and her heart was very distressed.

She suddenly wanted to write a letter to ask, but the elder brother said that he had found the address given by his cousin.

At that moment, she hesitated for a long time, she didn't believe it!

It must be that the old brother didn't dare to write a letter, so he deliberately lied to her.

Later, she quietly asked her mother, who was stunned at first, and then told her that in the future, don't mention that cousin again.

Under her repeated questioning, my mother said with red circles in her eyes that the cousin was gone, and she would never come again, and specially told her not to face that person in front of your brother in the future.

She didn't believe it.

Such a good cousin, how could she suddenly be gone?

She found Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu's eyes dodged and said about it, and finally, her voice was a little choked, and she hugged her in her arms: Xiuxiu, Qianqian is very sick, hospitalized, and now she has lost contact, and she doesn't know what is happening to Qianqian.

How so? She asked uncertainly, aren't you your cousin's aunt? You can go to Jingyun and find her. You can......

Found it, moved! Aunt Wu's tears fell to her shoulders one by one, wetting her newly purchased pink dress.

At that moment, she seemed to suddenly understand what it means to create and make people!

Some things, perhaps, really fit to be stored in memory.

She didn't know how she walked home that day, she only knew that when she got home, she found that it was dark.

After that, she never mentioned Ouyang Fuqian!

It's just that I didn't expect that I unexpectedly saw her again at Jingyun Normal University!

And that person is not the cousin they remember.

That person didn't even recognize her!

That person didn't recognize his brother.

Liu Xiu raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Hahaha."

There was a voice coming, that bright laughter.

Liu Xiu blinked his eyes and looked at the ancient clock tower two hundred meters in front of him.

The ancient clock tower, it is said that it has a history of nearly 100 years here, time is eternal, people's hearts will change, people's hearts are like a piece of dust, falling into the eyes, it will shed tears.

"I knew you wanted to, that's why I rushed back."

The laughter of the sunny boy on the left came again.

Liu Xiu slowly moved forward, turned his face slightly, and caught a glimpse of Ouyang's superficial smile out of the corner of his eye.

"yes, so you know best."

Ouyang Fuqian's clear voice drilled into her ears more and more clearly.

Liu Xiu's feet were stunned, and tears poured out.

It turned out that in Ouyang Fuqian's heart, the old brother was not even a spare tire!
