That year, I was ten years old.

That winter night, it was very late, and my parents had not yet returned, so I couldn't bear the sleepiness and went to sleep first, until a sharp knock on the door woke me up.

I thought it was my parents who had returned, so I ran to open the door sleepily, but there were two tall police uncles standing at the door, covered in snowflakes.

I trembled and followed my uncle out of the door, not knowing what was happening, but feeling uneasy in the sometimes solemn, sometimes sympathetic gazes they threw at me.

The scene of the car accident was a mess, and although it was late at night, there were still many onlookers.

The front of the truck was badly deformed, and the snow in front of the front was full of glass slag.

A man lay quietly in the red-stained snow.

At a glance from a distance, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I only saw him in a simple dark blue labor protection suit, and I knew that it was my father.

I walked over to my dad and stared at his bloody face, not believing he was dead.

Everything was so cruel, so cruel that it was like an unreal dream.

I really hope it was just a dream, and when I woke up, I was still lying on the warm bed, and suddenly I heard the sound of the key inserting into the keyhole, and I jumped out of bed and ran out of the bedroom, and I could still see my father pushing the door in.

Before Dad could shake off the snowflakes, he put his hand in his pocket, but he pretended not to take it out mysteriously, and said to me with a smile, "Xiaoyu, guess what Dad bought you?" ”

After 26 years of life, I have seen all kinds of people, and every smiling face is different, but Dad's smile is the warmest.

It was on that winter night that I lost such a warm smile forever.

The police uncle told me that my father was dead and my mother still had a breath of air and had been taken away by ambulance.

I stood frozen and I didn't know what to do but cry.

The onlookers were all sympathetic, and a kind aunt came over and stuffed a handful of paper and a box of matches in my hand, saying that this was the place where Dad took his last breath, and that he had to burn some paper for Dad here.

There was a kapok tree on the side of the road, and I burned the paper under the kapok tree, and I accidentally burned my hands, and the pain was very real, reminding me that it was not a dream.

Dad is gone, really gone, never to come back.

That winter night was a cruel dividing line that put an end to all my happiness.

When the dawn came, I was forced to mature overnight, and the script of my life was completely rewritten.

This kapok tree was the one back then.

Now that things are wrong, recalling the scene of that night, the heartache is still so clear.

I touched the trunk of the tree, which was much thicker, and said sadly, "My dad was in a car accident at this intersection back then, and I burned the first handful of paper for my dad under this tree and sent him away." ”

"Shen Yu."

Xu Yafei called softly behind me, but it seemed to be choked in his throat.

"I've had a hard time over the years, and it must be because I don't have my father's support, so I'm always being bullied. Dad will definitely think I'm useless. ”

I reached out and hugged the trunk of the tree, as if a lot of sadness suddenly poured out, and I could no longer control my collapse and cry.

"I'm not richer than the North and the South, I'm just as nothing, nothing."

"Who says you don't have anything?" Xu Yafei suddenly grabbed my arm, very excited.

I looked at him blankly with tears in my eyes.

He suppressed his excitement, and his eyes were particularly gentle and full of pity.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

We sat back in the car and quickly moved away from this sad place.

The road is clear at night.

In the quiet carriage, Xu Yafei's breathing was slightly heavier, and the speed was much faster than before, I could feel his eagerness, and his fingers rubbing the steering wheel from time to time revealed a little nervousness.

The last place where the car stopped was unfamiliar to me.

Only the gilded letters at the gate reminded me of this place.

Happy Elementary School, where I used to go to school.

Naturally, the Happy Primary School of the year was not what it is now.

Xu Yafei turned on the headlights, opened the window, and cold air suddenly poured in.

He put one hand on the window and the other on the steering wheel, his eyes looked at the school gate, and the corners of his lips tugged slightly, as if he was caught in a memory.

"Once upon a time, there was a little fool who got a zero score on the test, only to suddenly find a pencil during the exam. In fact, the pencil was in the hand of the tablemate, but she didn't dare to say it. She cried all the way home from school. She was really annoyed when she cried, dragging on a long tune like a song, I really didn't want to walk with her, there was always a suspicion that I had bullied her. But I didn't dare to leave her alone, for fear that others would not be able to stand her crying and beat her up. ”

I looked at him like a fool, and the scene he described grew clear in my memory.

He said that he was annoyed, but the corners of his lips were curved, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"That little fool is really stupid, so timid, I don't even dare to ride a bicycle, I have to take her with me, she always wears a skirt in the summer, and I always worry that her skirt will get into the bicycle tires."

"The little fool was so sentimental that he caught a butterfly for her and put it in a bottle, and then she was sad for a long time when the butterfly died, and she had to ask me to bury the butterfly with her, ahem."

Xu Yafei coughed lightly twice, as if he couldn't help laughing.

I laughed too, laughing and shedding tears.

I said, "Once upon a time, there was a bigger fool who lent me an umbrella when it rained, and he came home wet and scolded. ”

"That big fool is white and has a smaller appetite than a girl, and always stuffs me with milk for breakfast."

Because of crying, my nose was also plugged, and my exit was full of thick nasal sounds.

Xu Yafei took out a tissue to wipe it for me, and said in a soft voice, "Why are you crying?" Don't like to see me so much? Heartbroken to see me so much? ”

I took his tissue, wiped my tears and laughed again, and I pretended to be angry and glared at him.

"That's good, why don't you keep saying that you are Xu Fei? How could I have thought that Xu Yafei was Xu Fei? It's too bad. ”

Xu Yafei smiled faintly, "I think it's good to get acquainted again." ”

Xu Fei, a few years older than me, also lived in Kuanzhai Alley, and we went to and from school together every day, until he suddenly changed schools in the second year of junior high school, and after the family moved out of the alley, I never saw him again.

When a man grows up, he changes a lot, and I really don't recognize it at all.

"You wait for me." Xu Yafei suddenly got out of the car after speaking.

A moment later he returned to the car, with an extra ointment in his hand.

"Look up." He said as he gently pinched my chin.

I held my head up, motionless.

He leaned over and his gaze fell on my neck.

"What's wrong?" I asked, a little embarrassed.

"Don't move." He said.

After a while, a cool touch came from my neck.

"What's going on in your neck?" He asked me as he wiped it.

Neck?

I get it.

"Nothing." I say.

I don't like the right and wrong behind the scenes, although it is a fact that the north and the south want to strangle me.

Although I didn't say anything, Xu Yafei seemed to understand, put down the ointment, and still kept a close distance from me, looking at me very seriously.

"Shen Yu, sometimes you can't blindly tolerate and retreat, and besides, it's not that you don't have nothing."

He paused, his Adam's apple sliding slightly, and he held back as if he was about to blurt out something.

At this moment, Xu Yafei is too close to me, and the elegant smell of men's perfume on his body is very different from Xue Duyun's taste.

The tranquil space suddenly became ambiguous, and what broke the ambiguity was the ringing of my phone.

I hurriedly took out my mobile phone, and when I took it out, I just saw the word "husband" on the screen, and my hand was empty, and the mobile phone was already in Xu Yafei's hand.

He struck the answer button, then leaned back in his chair and tilted his head.

"Duyun."

"Well, Shen Yu is with me."

"I won't send her back for the time being, you can deal with the affairs of the north and the south first, that's all."

I didn't react until he hung up the phone.

His tone was calm from beginning to end, without a hint of anger, but it was very crisp, even a little domineering.

He turned off his phone and his own phone.

He said, "I'm sorry I did it for you, but I don't think you want to go back yet, do you?" ”

Indeed, going back now will only add to my blockage.

"Go to my house or open a house? You choose. Xu Yafei suddenly said this.

My face burned suddenly.

"Well, I mean it might not be appropriate to go to a single man's house, or would you stay in a hotel?"

Xu Yafei probably also realized that this was inappropriate, and was busy explaining, and his face quietly turned red.

After a few seconds of embarrassment, I laughed, and he laughed.

In fact, Xu Yafei has a kind of upright and gentlemanly temperament, so it is difficult for people to think of him as impure. Especially after knowing that he was Xu Fei, I suddenly felt that the distance between me and him was much closer.

"But I think you're probably going to have insomnia, so why don't I take you somewhere?"

Listening to Xu Yafei's tone, it should be a good place.

But I didn't expect him to take me to a game arcade.

It's open all night, so there's still a lot of people playing here.

He exchanged the game currency and handed it to me.

I held the coins in my hand and said awkwardly, "I won't play." ”

He sat down in front of the console and said with a smile, "I'm not very good at it, but we can study it, and I believe it won't be difficult." ”

Later, neither of us who knew much about it slowly touched the doorway, and the more we played, the more we played, and we played all the games.

Xu Yafei said, let go of everything, because you won't change if you think about it, so don't think about it, it's fun at this moment.

I also really let go for a while, as if all my bad emotions were vented in the game, and the more I played, the more fun I became, and I didn't feel tired after playing all night.

The people in the game hall slowly emptied, and in the end, only Xu Yafei and I were left.

I turned my head sideways, and Xu Yafei took out his mobile phone and aimed at me at some point.

"Don't shoot me." I blocked my face, showed only two eyes, and refused to be in the mirror.

He looked at the photos on his phone with satisfaction and said with a smile, "It's rare to see you smile so happily and want to keep it." ”

I glanced at the time on the wall, it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and the people in the arcade were slowly getting more and more people again.

I unintentionally turned my head, and my gaze suddenly froze.

The man who walked in had a cigarette in his mouth and his eyes fell on me impartially, with a slight smile.

It turned out to be Jiang Feng.

He shifted his chin to one side, and I understood what he meant.

"I'll go to the bathroom." I said to Xu Yafei.

Xu Yafei nodded, "Well, when you come back, we'll leave." ”

I followed the figure in front of me out of the arcade and onto the walkway outside the restroom.

Jiang Feng spat out a smoke ring and smiled at me.

"I'm still in the mood to play games, and I'm very interested."

"What do you want to do?" I glared at him.

He looked at me with a smirk, "Do you want to know where that girl was on the day she disappeared?" ”
