Yun Sheng opened his mouth again, Zhou Nian hesitated for a moment, but still opened the box.

The box was half-new, and the folded piece of paper inside was slightly yellowed, as if it was some years old.

Zhou Nian couldn't help but move slightly, took out the stack of square papers, and slowly opened it.

On the yellowed white paper, a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old is hand-drawn in colored pencils.

It was a foggy morning in the spring in southern Yunnan, and Zhou Nian still remembered that day, Yun Sheng in a white shirt walked slowly from the depths of the fog, and she thought she had seen the fairy in the painting.

But in Yun Sheng's eyes, there was only the silent and lonely girl, she leaned forward slightly, leaned against the fence of the teaching building, supported her cheek with one hand, and looked into the distance with clear eyes but sadness.

That glance is engraved in my heart like this, and I will never forget it for eternity.

This sketch was sketched by him in the middle of the night at home.

Later, the Yun family had an accident, and the house was burned to ruins, and the young Yun Sheng, who was ruined and killed, only brought out of the fire this sketch.

After many years, the handwriting on the sketch has faded, and it has been repaired and traced year by year, so that it is today.

He thought that this small image would never be sent.

I didn't expect to meet her again in the imperial capital.

But she was already married, and he couldn't think about her anymore.

It's just that when he was leaving, he thought that his path was going to go dark, perhaps, he would never have tomorrow, he wanted to be willful this time, just this time, and when he closed his eyes and died, he could leave a thought of no longer regretting and regretting.

Zhou Nian couldn't help but raise her hand lightly and stroked the girl's face on the paper, her heart seemed to be slightly choked by something, so that for a while, she was speechless, and she didn't know what to say.

This is the girl Zhou Nian, how did she come over during the entire lonely and miserable adolescence?

At that time, who gave her a warm hug and let her lean on?

The girl Zhou Nian and the young Yunsheng have never been favored by time and God, and the pool of spring water, but it stirred up a little ripple, and it was blown away by the wind.

Zhou Nian couldn't tell at this time, facing today's Yun Sheng, thinking of Yun Sheng in the past, whether he regretted more or pity more.

"It's just a small statue, just keep it."

Yun Sheng was still smiling faintly, he took one last look at her and stood up: "Niannian, I should go." ”

Zhou Nian got up abruptly: "Yunsheng, no matter what you are going to do or where you go, you must pay attention to safety and take care of your ......."

Yun Sheng nodded lightly: "I will remember, don't worry." ”

Zhou Nian watched him pick up his coat, a thin man like a paper man, and his whole body was still gloomy and lonely when he put on his coat.

Zhou Nian watched him walk out, and through the glass, Yun Sheng stood still, looking at her quietly.

Zhou Nian waved his hand at him, the smile on the corner of Yun Sheng's lips deepened, and he also waved his hand at her.

Zhou Nian saw Yun Sheng's thin wrist, the bones were cocked high, as if they were about to break through the flesh and skin, and his whole body was almost tormented by this injury.

On the back of his hand, there were old scars mottled with them, and on those old wounds, Zhou Nian saw a dark red mark like a flame on his wrist.

Zhou Nian was about to take another closer look, but Yun Sheng had already put down his hand.

The cold wind of the imperial capital swept the snow, and it fell on his head and shoulders.

Zhou Nian watched him turn around and walk to the edge of the road, the signal lights changed, and pedestrians on the zebra crossing hurriedly passed.

His tall and thin figure did not enter it, and gradually, it disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Nian stood there for a long time, until he was no longer visible, until the flying snow dyed the heavens and the earth white.

Yun Sheng disappeared forever as if he had never appeared.

Zhou Nian sat down, she looked at the sketch portrait on the table, the girl Zhou Nian on the paper, and there was always lingering sadness in her eyes.

She gently caressed her face, and after a long time, that little warmth was in vain.

No one can go back to the past, and they can't go back to the past.

Regardless of whether the current Zhou Nian is complete or happy, the Zhou Nian of the past, but the Zhou Nian who may have liked the young Yunsheng will always have a flaw.

After Zhou Nian left the café, at the corner of the street, a man wearing a black jacket, a hat and a mask also quietly turned around and left.

It's just that the direction he left was the direction Yun Sheng took.

……

After Gu Yingnan was hospitalized for a week, he moved to Xu Muzhou's official residence.

When Xu Muzhou had something in the Military Region that day, Zhou Nian and the two adjutants went to pick her up in person.

Song Xiaoshan and Chen Mo were also in the ward.

When Zhou Nian arrived, he felt that the atmosphere in the ward was slightly wrong, Song Xiaoshan stood aside with an ugly face, while Chen Mo and Jiang Huaian were comforting Gu Yingnan.

"Sister-in-law is here......"

Several people saw Zhou Nian and hurriedly greeted him, and Song Xiaoshan also turned around: "Sister-in-law, I have a suggestion that I want to talk to you about......"

"Xiaoshan, it's okay, Brother Mu Zhou has already decided, so let's do it first."

Chen Mo and Jiang Huai'an were both shocked by the events of that night, and they also felt that it was safer for Ying Nan to live in the official residence for the time being, but Song Xiaoshan wanted to say that it was inconvenient for Ying Nan to live in the official residence.

Chen Mo and Jiang Huai'an were a little crying and laughing, Yingnan is not another woman, everyone is the same as their own brothers, do they still need to avoid this suspicion?

"Let him speak." Gu Yingnan opened his mouth lightly: "I know, you are all for my good." ”

Song Xiaoshan glanced at Gu Yingnan with complicated eyes, and said to Zhou Nian: "I think so, it's not safe for Yingnan to live outside, so it's better to go back to Song's house with me for a while......"

"Xiaoshan, your younger brother and sister already knew about chasing Yingnan back then, and now you let Yingnan live in your house, what do your younger brothers and sisters think?"

"I used to like Yingnan, but that's all in the past, I am innocent and upright with Yingnan, and Yingying won't guess!"

"Forget it, you all don't fight." Gu Yingnan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know what you are thinking in your hearts, I won't embarrass you, I'll go back to Country M now......"

"Heroic ......"

"Alright, everyone stop arguing." Zhou Nian slowly opened his mouth: "Since Mu Zhou has already arranged it, let's do what Mu Zhou said, Xiaoshan, I know that you also have good intentions, but it is safer for Ying Nan to live in the official residence, so it's decided." ”

Zhou Nian asked the two adjutants to get Gu Yingnan's luggage, Chen Mo and Jiang Huai'an also went to help, Song Xiaoshan pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, looked at Gu Yingnan for a while, and turned around and left directly.
