Walking aimlessly along the wet alleys, past the dim lights under the eaves, and then stepping on the neon glow of the lights, Roy's feet consciously led his master home.

Putting the umbrella down, she stood in front of the house, raising her hand to press the code, but the door was opened at the same time.

"Xiaoyi? You're back? ”

Standing opposite her was her gentle and elegant mother, Ran Ruotian.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"It's so late and you haven't come back yet, Mom wants to go to Grandma Yun to find you, now that you're back, come in, it's windy outside."

Reaching out to pull her daughter into the house, Ran Ruotian closed the door.

"Have you had enough for dinner? There's food in the kitchen, and I'll keep it hot for you. ”

Seeing her daughter holding her head down and spreading the umbrella to hang on the steps, Ran Ruo looked at the slap-like little face distressedly.

Alas, this child is always so thin, no matter how you raise it, you can't get fat.

"No, Mom, I just ate yam porridge with Grandma Yun."

The two of them were talking as they walked towards the entrance.

"Alright then, you'll eat again when you're hungry."

Changing into plush indoor slippers, Ran Ruotian took her daughter's hand and sat on the sofa.

"Xiaoyi, is Grandma Yun okay today?"

Thinking of the time when she went to see the old man yesterday, the old man kept coughing as if he couldn't breathe, which made her empathize as if she couldn't breathe the ubiquitous air.

"It's okay, although I cough from time to time, but after a good night's sleep in the afternoon, it's noticeably better."

Casually stuffed the pillow on the sofa into his arms, Luo Yi hugged it a little hard into his arms and released it.

When she lowered her head, she inadvertently saw the Anfu silver bracelet on her hand.

"Mom, Grandma Yun gave me her silver bracelet."

Letting go of the pillow in her arms, she rested her left hand on the pillow and slowly turned the spiraling silver bracelet with the fingers of her right hand.

Sensing her daughter's slightly complicated look, Ran Ruotian held her daughter's hand wearing a bracelet, looked at the elegant and simple silver bracelet, and gently patted her daughter's hand.

"You can accept what Grandma Yun gave you, don't let down the old man's wishes."

Of course, she understood the old man's intention of giving the Anfu silver bracelet to his daughter.

"Aunt Liang told me the same thing, but I still think..."

Before she finished speaking, Luo Yi's eyes turned red, and she felt that her eyes were so sour that she wanted to cry all the time.

This is the gift that the old man gave her before the world, and this gift represents the old man's concern for her, and also represents the old man's wishes for her.

However, if she had a choice, she really didn't need such a gift, and only wished that Grandma Yun could live in good health.

"Okay kid, don't think too much, you're tired, wash up and go to bed early."

Lifting her daughter's small pointed chin distressedly, Ran Ruotian took a tissue to help her wipe away her tears.

"Mom, you too."

Taking the tissue from Ran Ruotian's hand, Luo Yi wiped away the little wetness on her eyelashes.

"By the way, Mom, where's Kiki?"

It's been so long since she's been back, and she hasn't seen the slightest shadow of that crazy girl.

"Oh, Qi Qi went to your aunt's shop to help, you didn't have time to come back Qi Qi happened to be on vacation, so she asked Qi Qi to help."

That's right, now is the critical moment of large-scale shopping close to the end of the year, and my aunt's store must have been busy for a long time.

Nodding, Roy stood up:

"Mom, then I'll go up first."

"Well, let's go."

Ran Ruotian also stood up, and she walked in the direction of the kitchen, preparing to clean up the kitchen that she hadn't had time to clean up.

Climbing up to the second floor, Roy returned to her room, took off her coat and hung it on the shelf, then relaxed, and she fell straight into the soft bed.

Pulling the corner of the quilt to cover her stomach, she stared at the ceiling, and in her mind, the happy moments when she got together with Grandma Yun flashed like a marquee.

From the first time her father took her to Grandma Yun's house, to the time she often ran to Grandma Yun's house when she was free, and then to her telling Grandma Yun that she had been admitted to the xxx university in H City that she wanted to go to, and then to when she took Qiao Linxi to see Grandma Yun...

The scenes that automatically unfolded in her mind like a movie made her suddenly feel a little sad.

Through the mist, she raised her left hand wearing the Anfu silver bracelet to her eyes, and carefully stroked the spiral pattern that seemed to have no end, and her heart was sad.

Grandma Yun... Grandma Yun...

Letting the tears trickle down silently from the corners of her eyes, she wanted her to be able to cry happily again at this moment.

Not wanting her sadness to flow through the door, she bit her lower lip and pulled out two tissues from the bedside and half-covered them over her face, allowing them to absorb the well-flowing tears like a sponge.

The bleak night quietly shrouded the gloom outside the house and the sadness inside the house, and they left behind the withering and sighing of sadness and sorrow.

After some time, the tears subsided, she removed the almost soaked tissue from her face, slowly sat up from the bed, and turned her head to look at the third drawer of the dresser with red eyes.

Motionless, she sat on the bed like a wooden statue without any emotion or consciousness.

Another quiet time passed, and she finally blinked her tired eyes and began to move her body closer to the drawer that had not been opened for a long time.

Her fingers hesitantly touched the sleek edge of the drawer, and she lingered on it for a few moments, then slowly pulled it away from her lips.

In the drawer that had been opened, a box covered with a thin layer of dust lay quietly, as if it was silently telling its loneliness and loneliness.

Her fingertips touched the surface of the box with the gold thread in the dark purple very slowly, and she held it out with a sad look in her eyes.

Opening the dusty lid, she immediately held her breath and closed her eyes.

After mustering up all the courage, she slowly opened her eyes with fluttering eyelashes, looking at the box she once treasured.

There, there are memories that will make her indelible for the rest of her life.

With trembling hands, she took out a brocade box with an auspicious cloud pattern from inside, opened it gently, and a round lilac pearl connected to a delicate white gold necklace, with a certain memory of the picture appeared in front of her eyes.

Her fingertips touched the purple pearl that exuded a faint elegance, and her eyes instantly became a piece of swaying again.

Closing the beautiful brocade box through the water, she put it on the table and reached into the box again.

This time, she took out a red peach heart music box. Gently lifting the delicate glass lid in the shape of a peach heart, she took out a few red beans that were spread out in the box to symbolize lovesickness.

Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring.

May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely.

Her tearful eyes finally broke again, and she put the red beans in her palm back into the music box, twisted the manual chain, and played a beautiful music.

A beautiful melody - the dream wedding, solemnly and holy, flowed out, circling and singing in this world where she was alone.

Listening to this familiar and longing music, she nostalgically rubbed each gift in the box and took them out one by one and placed them on the table. After a while, it was filled with gifts of love, large and small.
