"Isn't our Mannie very popular with her classmates?" Yang Li stepped on high-heeled boots and affectionately held Luo Yiyi's arm. She was half a head taller than Luo Yiyi, so she had to lean over slightly to talk to Luo Yiyi smoothly.

"Well, Senior Sister Mannie is recognized as the school flower of the whole school, and she is also a literary talent, and it is said that she has been the focus of everyone's attention since she entered the school. Most of us in the lower grades grew up looking at the glorious back of our senior sisters. A flush appeared on Luo Yiyi's face, in those youthful times, others were chasing stars, but she only had this almost perfect senior sister Mannie in her eyes.

Yang Li smiled with satisfaction: "Mannie has been a sensible child since she was a child, obedient, well-behaved, and understanding. There was not a single person in the entire family who did not praise her. ”

Luo Yiyi could see that in the eyes of her mother, Senior Sister Mannie was a good daughter worth showing off and her pride. Because this joy overflowing from the eyes is so familiar. Every time Luo Yiyi brought back the certificate, her mother's eyes would overflow with such a light.

For a moment, Luo Yiyi felt that she had returned to her childhood, when she was a child, she liked to hold her mother's arm the most, even if she didn't go anywhere, she had to hold her arm like this and feel the temperature of each other.

"How did you meet?" Yang Li tilted his head and asked.

"At first, I often saw the name of Senior Sister Mannie on the honor roll of the school," Luo Yiyi was asked, and unconsciously recalled the warm middle school days, "I was thinking, such a beautiful name must be an elegant and beautiful big sister." Later, I saw Mannie herself at a graduation party, and she was the host. It was also the first time I discovered that a person's voice can be so sweet. ”

Yang Li smiled proudly and listened to Luo Yiyi continue:

"Later, we passed by on the road several times, but I was too shy to talk."

Moreover, at that time, Romani was always accompanied by two bodyguard-like boys, one with black-rimmed glasses, always smiling gently; The other has dark skin, and he will laugh deafeningly at every turn, as if announcing that the eldest lady of the Luo family and the two sons of the Tan family are going on patrol. At this time, Mannie would always pull Tan Tianjin out of a few steps away from Tan Yu, with a look of horror like "Is this someone I know", and then laughed mischievously.

Thinking of this, Luo Yiyi herself smiled. Mannie always looks elegant in front of outsiders, but only in front of the Tan brothers will she show a little bit of the innocence and naughtiness unique to little girls.

This made Luo Yiyi very envious, and she was envious until the autumn day when she learned that Mannie had left forever.

"Later," Luo Yiyi's face suddenly showed a hesitant look, but she finally continued, "There was an accident in my family, and when I was most helpless, I met Senior Sister Mannie. ”

Yang Li nodded and didn't ask.

"Senior sister said that I could write to her," Luo Yiyi's eyes lit up with a warm light, "She also told me a lot of truths——"

"Mannie rarely mentions things in school to me," Yang Li was very happy to learn so much about her daughter, but after all, she still felt a little lost because she couldn't get involved, "It was also that I was too busy at that time to care about her." I didn't even know that she was the host of the graduation party. Mannie, what else did she do in school? ”

"Senior Sister Mannie is the deputy director of the school's literature department," Luo Yiyi said here, with a look of pride and admiration, "Senior Sister has published many articles in the school newspaper and has a large number of fans. ”

"Really?" Yang Li is very happy, it turns out that her daughter's high school life is so full and beautiful.

"That's not all," Luo Yiyi continued, "Senior sister is also a special reporter for the school newspaper, and often attends some large and small interview activities. In the school newspaper, in the school's promotional video, and on various posters, you can find photos of senior sisters! ”

"Really?!" Yang Li smiled again, "It turns out that my daughter is so powerful!" ”

Yang Li held Luo Yiyi like this, and the two of them whispered, walked across the stone path, and stepped up the solemn stone steps.

"Has anyone been here?" Yang Li looked at the lily in front of Mannie's tomb and stopped and asked.

"Ahh Luo Yiyi also saw it.

"Who could it be?" Yang Li asked.

Luo Yiyi had already guessed, but even if she was as dull as her, she knew that it was better not to mention that name now.

There are still a few dewdrops on the petals of the tender white lily. This is not the kind of commercial flower bought in the flower shop, and the commercial flower is not so elegant. There are a few buds that are still waiting to be released, and the cyan calyxes tightly protect the white petals with a slight yellowish tinge.

Underneath is a bulging glass vase.

Glass vase, pure water.

Luo Yiyi felt a little relieved in her heart, and she suddenly wanted to laugh at her own roundabout. Then there was an inexplicable loneliness, but she quickly cheered up and said to Yang Li: "Look, many people still love Senior Sister Mannie." Senior sister is in heaven, she will not be lonely. ”

Yang Li was also holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his hand, which he bought when he passed by the flower shop. She let go of Luo Yiyi's arm, bent forward, gently placed Bai Ju, and unconsciously reached out and gently stroked the photo of her daughter on the tombstone.

Romani has a pair of smiling eyes, pure and transparent, and does not stir up dust.

"Mannie, are you okay? Mom came to see you-" Yang Li still couldn't hold back after all, and tears flowed down his eyes.

Luo Yiyi stood behind Yang Li, waiting quietly, and a line of tears had already slipped down from the corners of her eyes.

There was only a mother left in the world who had lost her beloved daughter sobbing in a low voice, Yang Li covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and her body kept trembling.

"Auntie—" After a long time, Luo Yiyi spoke softly.

Yang Li hurriedly wiped her tears, turned around and said, "It's rude-" She barely stopped her grief and forced out a smile, and then said to Mannie: "Look, Mom can't control herself anymore." But don't worry, Mannie, Mommy is much better now, Mommy is fine—"

The breeze blew a few hairs in front of Luo Yiyi's forehead, and tears slipped down again.

The bottle of lilies in front of Mannie's smiling face also swayed slightly in the wind, and there was a faint fragrance overflowing from the side.

Senior sister, such a charming aroma, you must be able to smell it in heaven.

……

When leaving the cemetery, Yang Li took Luo Yiyi's arm again. She suddenly asked, "Yiyi, is it okay to be my goddaughter?" As soon as I saw you, I thought you were very kind, maybe because you were like Mannie's, you were a good and understanding child, and I liked you so much—"
