Chapter 83: Five years old
I vaguely remember that Xu Yijin also had a similar mole at the joint of his thumb.
Flipping back further, it's a photo of me since I was in elementary school.
When I was five years old, there was only one such one.
"Zhou Zhou, when I was cleaning today, I saw that there was also a photo of my husband." The nanny leaned against the door frame and said when she saw me flipping through the photos.
I froze in my hand, put the album back in place, patted the ash on my hand, got up and asked, "Xu Yijin's photo?" Where is it? ”
She took out a thick photo album under the cabinet belonging to Xu Yijin, and the cover was gray, which was particularly simple.
The album was not placed in the cabinet, but under the cabinet, obviously not wanting to be discovered.
I took it and opened it.
"Without Mr. Xu's consent, if he looks at his things like this, wouldn't he be very happy if he knew?" The babysitter was a little embarrassed.
I glanced at the watch that was set aside and said, "It's not time for him to go home yet, I'll put things back in place before he comes back." As long as you and I don't say it, he won't know. ”
After the nanny left the bedroom, I collapsed on the soft bed and flipped through the pages of the photo album.
The first few photos are nothing worth paying attention to, they are all landscape photos, and there are no highlights.
When I got to the middle, I saw a picture of a portrait.
He stood there alone, and in front of him stood a little girl with a sweet smile, and I recognized it at a glance, and that little girl was me.
The background of the photo was taken at my grandparents' house, I lived with my grandmother for more than ten years until my grandparents died, and I started living at the school.
So I'm still very familiar with my grandmother's house.
Xu Yijin in the photo is wearing a bright red robe, a bit like a Chinese wedding dress worn for marriage.
Wearing it on him, it is not rustic at all, but it makes people feel bright, and they can't help but marvel.
And in front of him, the little me, who was as tall as his thighs, was also wearing a red children's wedding robe, and a red plastic flower on his head. The corners of his mouth were raised high, and a few teeth that had not grown together were exposed.
Maybe it's been too long, it's been too long, and I don't remember when I was five years old.
Xu Yi and I met more than ten years ago, and it was even more unexpected for me.
I looked at the picture and was fascinated.
A few months ago, when I dreamed of Xu Yijin, he seemed to have said that I was his person when I was five years old.
At that time, my mind was not on him, so I didn't take this sentence to heart, and now I remember it faintly, as if I had found the tip of the iceberg.
I was in a mixed mood.
I fiddled with the album backwards.
He kept all the pictures of me from the age of five to the age of eighteen, and I can't even remember when.
These photos were not taken secretly, judging by my facial expressions, I took them voluntarily.
I thought it should have been taken by my grandparents.
It's just that I don't know why these photos ended up in his hands.
Xu Yi arrived home at twelve o'clock in the evening.
At that time, I was in a daze in bed, and when I heard the sound of the door closing, I was a little awake, but I still couldn't open my eyes.
He silently walked up to me, bent down, and pulled the quilt up for me.
"Coming back?" I sat up from the bed in a daze.
I reached out to turn on the bedroom light, but he stopped me and said, "The light hurts my eyes." ”
I had no choice but to give up, rubbed my sore eyes, took a pillow and leaned against my back, and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
Xu Yijin didn't answer, and sat down next to me, "Are you waiting for me?" ”
I nodded, thinking that he might not be able to see in the dark, so I let out an "um".
"Tell me something?"
"I asked Uncle Li to take me to the house I rented before." I had just woken up, my mind was a little confused, and I cleared my thoughts before continuing: "Someone put a posthumous photo in my closet, and the eye part was buckled off. ”
Xu Yijin was silent for a long time.
After a long time, I heard him say, "Don't be afraid, I will find the source." ”
I nodded.
He went to take a shower, put on his pajamas, came over and pulled the quilt and lay down beside me, he looked sideways at me, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"You knew me when I was five years old, didn't you?" That's what I asked, but the tone was yes.
Xu Yijin was obviously stunned for a moment, and it didn't take long for him to nod, wrap his hand around my shoulder, put his head into my neck, and asked, "You know everything?" ”
The hot breath from the tip of his nose sprayed on my neck again and again, and I itched a little and shrunk my shoulders.
"When I was flipping through the photo album today, I saw that you had a hand in the mirror." I picked up his hand, and although I didn't turn on the light, I could still see the mole on my thumb.
I draw circles on it with my hands.
Xu Yijin laughed: "Hey, your observation is quite detailed." ”
"How did we meet?" I asked him, "My mother came to see me today, and she said that my grandmother told me a before, does it also have something to do with you?" ”
"Hmm."
"Why would my grandmother want to tell me to you?" I'm a little anxious to know the answer.
After all, my grandparents are the people who love me the most in the world, and they know that Xu Yijin is a ghost, and they can still let me contact him, there must be some reason.
Xu Yijin's chin was smooth, pressed against my collarbone, and said, "You provoked something at that time, and your grandmother found me in order to save you, crying and crying to marry you to me." ”
I was stunned.
"Don't bully me, I don't remember anything, just talk nonsense." I say.
Even if I really provoked something, Xu Yijin is not a good stubble, my grandmother looked for him, didn't that just push me from one fire pit to another?
Besides, my grandmother is an ordinary person, how can she find Xu Yijin?
He seemed to be able to see what was going on in my mind, and smiled, "You still don't know enough about your grandmother." At that time, you were already tossed and dying, and she was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, so she came to me. But you should also thank me, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to live until now, it's uncertain. ”
"How did she find you?" I'm curious.
"Have you forgotten what she used to do?"
I froze and thought about it.
I heard my grandmother say that before she retired, she had learned from others and was a well-known local goddess, but at that time in the city, her mind was already open, and not many people believed in this, so later, her skills gradually disappeared.
I can't really remember these things if I don't think about them carefully.
