Shu Xiaoman's house.

Zhao Yuan went on a business trip.

When Chen Yuanxi arrived, Shu Xiaoman had calmed down, but her eyes were almost deep in horror, her dull and rough skin was loose and loose, like a layer of wrinkled bark on her face, and the white hair on her temples was visible, which made Chen Yuanxi secretly frightened.

"Xiao Man, are you sick?" Chen Yuanxi asked.

"Probably, it's almost there." Shu Xiaoman said in a hoarse voice.

"What are you looking for me?" Chen Yuanxi asked.

"It's okay... Just want to see you ... Shu Xiaoman said.

Chen Yuanxi shook his head: "And then?" ”

Shu Xiaoman frowned, she didn't seem to have thought about what to do with Chen Yuanxi coming over, probably, she just wanted to meet. Chen Yuanxi was speechless for a while, more than a year ago, Shu Xiaoman's arrogant appearance and loud words made him remember it deeply. Since Zhang Dong left, Mo Qian was ambushed, he had already taken care of everything, even Zheng Kai, he didn't plan to meet, he was ready to start from nowhere, looking for nowhere to live, and he didn't plan to come over again at all.

"Daddy Lin!" There is a child's immature children's voice like a hammer, shattering Chen Yuanxi's thoughts. A little boy about two years old ran out, excitedly holding a photograph in his hand.

"It's not..." Another little girl staggered out together.

A middle-aged and elderly woman hurriedly ran out, one in one hand, looking very anxious.

Chen Yuanxi couldn't help it, pulled the twins over and looked at them carefully.

The pair of wonderful eyes of the little boy and the little girl look very similar to Shu Xiaoman, although the eyebrows are not completely grown, judging from the lines, there is no doubt that they are Zhao Yuan's sword eyebrows. Two pairs of clear eyes, half-moon-like eyes, stared at him in unison, looking curiously.

Zhao Yuan's child, Zhao Yuan and Xiaoman's child.

Endless tenderness rose in Chen Yuanxi's heart, and a pair of originally sharp eyes gradually melted from the ice and snow of the cold river, whispering in the deep and silent undercurrent of the stream.

The little girl was holding the photo at the moment, comparing it and babbling, "Huh... Yes ... ”

Chen Yuanxi suddenly had the urge to cry, such a young child also knows who it is.

The little girl must have thought that the boy had guessed correctly, so she reached out and touched the boy's face, and the boy suddenly opened her hand with an unhappy face, and the girl burst into tears.

"Mengyuan, don't bully your sister!" Shu Xiaoman scolded softly.

"Daddy and you..." Zhao Mengyuan said suddenly, and then the two little fingers pinched each other, as if they didn't know how to express it.

"That's playing a game with your mother, haven't you seen that your mother has been happy?" Shu Xiaoman's eyes suddenly turned red and said.

"That... Play the game. Zhao Mengyuan smiled and pointed at the little girl.

Chen Yuanxi's heart tightened slightly, and he grabbed Zhao Mengyuan's little finger: "Mengyuan is still a little baby, so it's bullying the little sister." ”

"What is bullying?" Zhao Mengyuan asked.

"If you make your little sister cry, it's called bullying." Chen Yuanxi said.

Zhao Mengyuan pouted as if he didn't understand, and muttered: "Dad, Qingying (bullying) mother... ”

"What's your name, baby?" Chen Yuanxi pretended not to hear it, and looked at the little girl with a gentle smile, at that moment, Shu Xiaoman saw the afterglow outside the window shining on Chen Yuanxi's face, so warm, friendly, and so familiar that her heart was warm for a while, half bitter cold.

"Zhao Mengxi, stinky fart Mengyuan, is a younger brother." Zhao Mengxi smiled sweetly.

"I'm my brother, I'm the third army (Zhong)!" Zhao Mengyuan was unconvinced.

"I'm taller than you!" Zhao Mengxi said and gently pinched Zhao Mengyuan's face, and the brother and sister rolled to the ground and got into a ball. The nanny hurriedly packed up the paintbrushes and paints of the battle between the two siblings, and carried them inside.

"How did you get her to take that name... Chen Yuanxi was a little puzzled.

"I'll show you, and you'll know." Shu Xiaoman said, getting up a little slowly.

When Chen Yuanxi saw Zhao Yuan's bedroom, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Completely different from the extreme luxury of the living room, Zhao Yuan's bedroom is simple and clean, the color of the bed, and the flower case of the bed sheets are exactly the same as the small room he used to have.

A pot of cactus balls raised in the window, crystal clear and emerald green all year round, makes this cold winter inexplicably full of vitality. After Zhao Yuan's father died, Chen Yuanxi silently placed it in the window, and Zhao Yuan immediately knew who sent it and who it was for. The cute husky alarm clock at the head of the bed was also given to him when he was in college, one for each person. Press it gently, and even the bell is exactly the same.

"Dad Lin is not as handsome as Daddy." Zhao Mengyuan ran out of the small room again at some point, and Zhao Mengxi had already had two small paw prints on his face.

"No, Dad said that Dad Lin is the most handsome." Zhao Mengxi took out a single photo of Chen Yuanxi during military training, and she had already drawn two red circles on it.

"Mother Liu! What do you think of children! The photo... Shu Xiaoman's face couldn't help but change. Mother Liu immediately panicked: "Ouch, Manniuer! Oh yes! ”

"What's handsome?" Chen Yuanxi felt quite funny.

"Good-looking, just like me." Zhao Mengyuan's hands gestured randomly, and a small mouth was stained with red.

"Mom is good-looking, too." Chen Yuanxi said to Zhao Mengyuan.

Zhao Mengyuan suddenly stood at a loss, and said for a long time: "Mom will cry." ”

Chen Yuanxi understood almost everything, and walked to the activity room of the two children, inside, it was either the paint of the painting, or the keys of the analog electronic piano in one place, and the one hanging above was the side face of Zhao Yuan painted by Chen Yuanxi on the edge of the fire when he went to the countryside to teach.

He forgot nothing.

But it's time to forget everything.

When he returned to the living room, Chen Yuanxi took the two photos in his hand: "Xiaoman, you don't have to hide it from Ayuan now, when he comes back, tell him that I took the photos away." ”

"No, don't..." Shu Xiaoman suddenly panicked.

The nanny watched the words, went into the house and locked the door, then turned back and said, "Wow! The old world will be obsessed. ”

Chen Yuanxi didn't understand for a while, the nanny took the photo from his hand with a nervous face, pointed to his head and said, "The old world will be stupid, bumpy." Then he slowly turned back into the house.

"Xiaoman, like Wanxin, I don't believe in God or Buddhism, but I believe in fate. I used to blame you and hate you, but I saw Mengyuan and Mengxi, if I were you, I would make the same choice. For the sake of these two children, I hope ... You can do it well," Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

Shu Xiaoman slumped into his seat.

She thought that Chen Yuanxi would come over and slap her a few times, she even imagined that he might also kidnap a child, she thought that Chen Yuanxi would wait here for Zhao Yuan to come back and embarrass her on the spot. Unexpectedly, what he said was enough to make her regret and want to die.

"Wenxi, you said I would regret it, you... I have said that I will not be happy ... If only time could be turned back ... Shu Xiaoman's tears overflowed straight into his eyes, and Chen Yuanxi turned his face slightly.

"Wenxi, how did Zhao Yuan come over after so many years, do you know? He kept the little mouse all the time, and after accidentally losing it, I actually saw this man crying! I've never seen Brother Yuan cry, just for that puppet, he really cried, crying like a child! He went to the company to dig the garbage can, he chased the garbage truck to the garbage station, and finally found a statue... He keeps that Nokia phone for you forever, keeps the number of his hometown, and only hopes that you can contact him again... He... More than six years... Never played basketball again... He has no audience anymore ... Big tears fell down Shu Xiaoman's cheeks.

"I've been with him for more than six years, I never thought that a man could treat another person like this, I've never been so close to a man like this, such an excellent man, Wenxi, I'm confused for a while!" Shu Xiaoman took Chen Yuanxi's hand and sobbed and said.

"That day, he was supposed to ask me to talk, I knew what he was going to do, he wanted to make it up to me, he didn't want to get married... I know he's walking around outside and smoking there all the time... I don't know what happened to you, I just want to tell you all my thoughts at that time, I'm afraid of two children, no father, Wenxi... ”

"Xiaoman, I hope you cherish your body for the sake of the two children, they are still so young, they look so much like Zhao Yuan, they look so much like you, everything will pass." Chen Yuanxi turned around, held back her tears, gently patted Shu Xiaoman's shoulder, and saw that she was as haggard as a dry lotus leaf in the autumn rain, gently flicking her forehead.

The action of this forehead is the same as before, when the two were playing in college, Shu Xiaoman suddenly felt that the simple young man who stood in the wind in the past returned to him across layers of time and space, and he was still the person he loved as always, the figure that never changed, and the person he was willing to give everything for.

"Wenxi... Can you play it again? Shu Xiaoman asked with tears in his eyes.

Chen Yuanxi smiled lightly, raised his hand slightly, tapped Shu Xiaoman's forehead, and then tapped it hard, just like he used to play cards and win Shu Xiaoman, and he would always play Lai Pi and play more.

If life is only as it first seems!

The two looked at each other and laughed, then cried and hugged each other deeply, and there was an extra statue on Shu Xiaoman's body.

I hope that after many years, we will meet each other, not resentful of each other, nor silent after many years, but can talk to you well, long time no see, Zhao Yuan.

Shu Xiaoman silently opened the music player.

"That person, does it only exist in dreams, why did I use all my strength to exchange for half a lifetime of memories...

Shu Xiaoman already understood that this must be the last time the two met.
