After Bai Xue finished writing the review, she picked up Sanmao's book again, and the streets and alleys she wrote kept coming to mind, her love, family, friendship, everything was so fascinating and intoxicating. It also calmed the heart that was originally impetuous because of the heat.

She carefully read the article "Tomorrow and the End of the World":

~

My friend, I said goodbye to you tonight, how many times and how many times, your eyes are silently asking me, echo, how will you live in the future? You're going to be okay if you're gone like this alone? Will you? Will you?

When I saw your pitiful eyes, my stomach immediately began to cramp, and I was softly begging myself - no more pain, no more pain, is there no end to the pain?

Tomorrow is a thing that cannot be escaped, and I have no way back.

I can't answer the question in your eyes, I just know that my stomach hurts, so I cover my stomach and don't say a word, because the pain is real.

How many times, you have said, although I am high-spirited, full of confidence and thoughtful tilt of head, with a smile on my face, but, under the light, my eyes can't hide secrets, my eyes are only full of stubborn tears, and that a sea is also like a deep love story.

You say, echo, will you live alone? I want to ask you, have you heard of anyone in this world who is not a lonely life and not a lonely death? Who? Please tell me.

You also said, don't forget to write to me and tell me in detail how your days are being spent because someone is thinking about you.

My dear friend, without having to write a letter, can tell you now that I am gone, back to my home, where there is the sea, the empty sky, and the sorrowful beach where the wind blows forever.

Behind the house, there is a deserted field, and the neighbors will only appear when they are on vacation, this place, you can walk for two hours without seeing people, and the seagulls are always calling.

How will my life be?

I will do the laundry, mop the floor, take care of my bonsai, and make my bed. Occasionally, I'll go to the town, talk to someone, go to the post office, and hope for a letter from you.

Perhaps, when the weather is fine and my mood is at peace, I will take a plane to the last island, buy a handful of flowers, and sit quietly at dusk in the place where Jose rests.

There's no more Devil May Cry, the worst has come, and there's nothing more. I just sometimes have stomach pains, and when I'm eating alone, I can't swallow a little.

I also told you that when twilight comes, I will lock the doors and windows carefully, and I will no longer dress myself up in the daytime, because I know very well that yesterday's style will only increase my insecurity today, so my long dress will be left in the box.

I also said that if I want to raise a big wolf dog and buy a shotgun, if anyone dares to step into my garden without my permission, then I want him to die under my gun.

When you say this, you are shocked, you are distressed, and you only know that

Echo's tomorrow isn't fun, you say, echo you're still coming back, I've always wanted you to come back.

My friend, I would like to ask you one more sentence that I have already asked, who is not a lonely life or a lonely death in this world?

I have been with youth, I have been grateful, satisfied, and have no regrets.

Besides, when night came, I closed the curtains and locked myself in the house, and it was safe for me to go out no longer to see the stars in the night, for I knew that I could not find the name of my heart in any constellation.

I turned on the warm floor lamp and sat in my big rocking chair against the soft red cushions, which was my home, and always has been my home. I sat down, rubbed my harmonica, tried a few notes, and then, in the silence of the room, I still played my favorite song, Sweet Family.

She seems to have gradually understood what Li Jia meant by "numbing herself with busyness", she can't be idle, that would be cranky, only when she is working, can she not have time to think about Han Yi and the so-called love, and the future.

Qiu Lang held the diary full of time in his hand, stood on the edge of the windowsill, and dialed Han Yi's phone.

"Han Yi, I'm sorry ······"

Han Yi saw that it was Qiu Lang calling, and hurriedly received it in his ear, but heard him apologize inexplicably.

It was so quiet on the other end of the phone, and that cold feeling seemed to have reached Han Yi through the signal.

"What do you mean?" Han Yi didn't remember the punch he was punched by Qiu Lang for a long time, and when he heard this, he felt that Qiu Lang was not quite right, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Do you know all about it? ”

Qiu Lang also locked himself in the room, hesitating whether to step out of this room, hesitating whether to forgive his father, Qiu Minsheng.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive to do it to you!" Qiu Lang did not answer Han Yi's question directly, but the answer was obvious.

"Don't talk about the past! Fu Bo and Lao Feng have to go to New York in a few days to attend a science and technology exchange conference, do you want to go over together? I'll be with you. ”

Qiu Lang knew what Han Yi meant, because he had accompanied him to New York several times, but he didn't have the courage to meet his mother Yang Suqing, and he said this just because he wanted him to take this step bravely.

"Think about it!" Qiu Lang stood behind the curtain and sneaked a few glances into the courtyard, "Where are you now?" Are all the problems solved? ”

"Changsha, my sister is here. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I sold the shares of Yihui 40 to Yi Yang and Deng Baoyuan, and the money should be in place tonight. In the next two days, I will be in Shanghai to solve all personal and company problems as soon as possible······"

Han Yi and Qiu Lang briefly talked about the next arrangements, in fact, Yi Yang was able to reach a consensus with Han Yi in half a day, which was indispensable for Qiu Lang's promotion. He knows better than Han Yi the importance of the circle of friends and the circle of relationships, and he is happy to see Han Yi cooperate with them, which will reduce his burden a lot.

"By the way, Min Min studied abroad

I'm bothering you, I'm also a head two now, and I don't have time to care about her, you tell you a lot of things, you help me keep an eye on it! Han Yi said with a smile: "If you go to New York, give me a letter of approval within three days, and I will help you book tickets and go over together." ”

As he was talking, he heard a knock on the door, "Young Master, let's go down and eat!" It was Uncle Li's voice, and he estimated that Keiko had specially asked him to call it.

"Alright, let's talk about it, bye-bye!"

Qiu Lang hung up the phone with lightning speed, in fact, he was ready to go down, because of Keiko's words, because after reading the diary over there, he knew a lot of stories that he never knew, otherwise he was paralyzing himself with alcohol at this moment, collapsed on the bed, unconscious.

"Brother, come out for dinner!" Han Min knocked on the door twice and shouted that Han Yi had gone out for lunch.

The rectangular table is full, and there must be at least eight or nine dishes if you count them carefully, all of which are cooked by Han Yi's mother herself, and they are basically Han Yi's favorites.

This family is happy to gather at my sister's house, not to mention how happy they are.

Happy is happy, but it's a little regretful, if Bai Xue is here, it will be perfect, Han Yi thought.

Han Yi's mother vigorously picked up dishes for Han Yi, "It's all what you like, eat more!" ”

It's good to eat, drink, and chat, but my mother, who doesn't know what the situation is, suddenly said: "How is the marriage with Bai Xue?" ”

Isn't this a pot that doesn't open and mention? Han Yi pretended not to hear it, continued to eat, and then turned to Han Min, "You go back to Shanghai these days to worry more about snacks, the school materials are ready, let you go over with Qiu Lang at the beginning of the month, and do it early······"

Han Yi's mother wanted to continue asking, but Han Min immediately interrupted her, and then babbled a lot, which can be regarded as a relief for her brother.

Han Yi's father suddenly asked again, "What time is your plane tonight?" "There is also a suspicion of diverting the subject.

"It's past eleven o'clock in the evening, and we have to leave at nine o'clock." In order to avoid the topic, Han Yi patronized "eating and drinking", and took the time to reply to his father.

My sister said, "Let's take a break after eating, go to the mall at four or five o'clock, buy you a few sets of clothes, and then come back for dinner and send you to the airport." ”

"Sister, can you buy me one by the way?" Han Min wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and smiled happily.

She is only so lively when she is at home, after all, she is the eldest and is loved by her parents.

"Okay, no problem!" My sister readily agreed, and was willing to be a little pit by my sister. She smiled and said to her mother: "I took a long time from his mouth last night, and he bit it tightly and didn't tell me half a sentence, so, Mom, I advise you not to ask." He's not too young, don't always care about him, especially emotionally, just let it be with him, let it be! ”

"Am I still in charge of him? Last time, that Hao Yali ran to his house, and it happened that I was with your father and your sister, saying that I was pregnant with his child, and if I really interfered with his feelings, I would have taken her home a long time ago! You also say

Now, he's not too young, your dad and I are both old, we just want to hug a big fat grandson, is it wrong? ”

Han Yi's mother was not very angry, but she was complaining about Han Yi's meaning, thinking, she is tall and handsome, she is a talent, she wants to have a career, she wants to be talented and talented, she is almost thirty years old, seeing that the children of her kind friends are all married and have children, and he is still single, she can only be in a hurry, can she not be angry!

"It's you, not us, I'm not in a hurry, isn't there a child for you to take? What the hell are you talking about? Isn't it, Yuheng? Han Yi's father smiled at his grandson Yuheng, he has always been calm and light-hearted, and he will never interfere with the children's emotional problems. This attitude suddenly isolated Han Yi's mother.

"Can that be the same? There is still a difference between grandchildren and grandchildren······"

Seeing this, my mother was so anxious that she couldn't wait to stomp her feet. Han Yi didn't express his opinion, because he understood his mother, if he said something casually, she would talk more and more, so he kept eating and kept picking up vegetables for his mother.

"It's the same, it's the same, it's the same, don't worry about my brother, with my brother's current conditions, isn't it a matter of minutes if you really want to get married?" Han Min hurriedly interrupted his mother and winked at her, "Yu Heng is slowly growing up and sensible, think about it, if he remembers what you just said in the future, he will be sad!" ”

Sister Han Yi smiled: "That's it! ”

"I'm cute Yuheng baby, don't talk nonsense here!" Han Yi's mother glared at Han Min, hugged Yu Heng to her lap and sat down, feeding him.

"Mom, didn't you say that Hao Yali sent you a message saying that it was a lie to you? She's not pregnant with my brother's child, she just wants to cheat some money from him, so don't mention this matter in the future, otherwise it won't be good for Bai Xue to hear it! ”

My sisters and sisters can still understand Han Yi, but my mother's ideas of the older generation are more old, and they feel that he is not young and has to get married and have children.

Han Yi suddenly wondered in his heart, Hao Yali sent a message to her mother? actually said that they were lying to them, could it be that their conscience found out?

It turned out to be Hao Yali

"I've never mentioned it to Bai Xue! Besides, she never contacted me, so cold! If it weren't for this stinky boy threatening me, I'd ······ I'd be."

Han Yi's mother always felt that Bai Xue was too cold and unenthusiastic about her, giving her a very distant feeling, if it wasn't for Han Yi's always liking and threatening Bai Xue not to marry, she would definitely give Bai Xue some face and treat her.

"Mom, it's almost done! I received a text message from you, put down my work, and came all the way to see you, and wanted to have a meal with you in peace, so let's not talk about this for now? ”

Han Yi smiled helplessly, that expression could obviously achieve the effect of making her mother stop this topic.
