That day, after leaving home, Chen Yibo drove around Suyang City for more than two hours, and in this short period of time, Chen Yibo re-sorted out the bits and pieces after he met Li Yuqi.

Because his father died in the second year of high school, when he filled in the volunteer in the third year of high school, Chen Yibo gave up his original plan to go to another province to study at a university, and changed to Su University in the city as his first choice. He has had excellent grades since he was a child, and he entered this university without any suspense, and it also fulfilled his filial piety that he can go home to visit his mother every week.

At Suzhou University, Chen Yibo majored in international trade, and next to them was the beautiful foreign language department, and Li Yuqi was from the foreign language department. Chen Yibo clearly remembered that the first time he met Li Yuqi was in the library, and she was holding a piece of white paper with a pig's head drawn on it, and quietly pasted it on the back of a boy. Then he patted the boy on the shoulder, said hello to him casually, and then left with his school bag on his back. In this way, the boy carried a pig's head to the library for an afternoon, and then carried the pig's head from the library to the cafeteria, until he returned to the dormitory, where he was taken down by his laughing roommate.

The boy was in the same class as Chen Yibo and was in the same dormitory, his name was Guo Dong, and he was Li Yuqi's classmate in his third year of high school. In fact, Guo Dong's results in the college entrance examination are very good, and he is fully capable of going to a better university, such as Renmin University. But he gave up, and for the sake of Li Yuqi, he chose Su Da. But it's very sad, Li Yuqi has always regarded Guo Dong as a good friend and a good brother, but there is no love between men and women.

Chen Yibo had a strong interest in Li Yuqi when he first met her, but because of Guo Dong's relationship, he always endured it and did not chase her. Later, when I was a sophomore, I couldn't stand it anymore, so on a rainy night, I called Li Yuqi out of the dormitory and poured out my heartfelt words heartily. When he was done, he said, "Give you half a year to think about it, would you like to be my girlfriend?" Then he left without looking back, leaving Li Yuqi standing alone in place. Half a year later, Li Yuqi really became Chen Yibo's girlfriend.

Then, until the two of them got married, everything was so natural and logical.

Chen Yibo remembers that the first time he met Li Lingyue was in 2004, when Li Yuqi held her mother's arm and said to him with a smile, 'Look, is my mother very beautiful?' Indeed, Li Lingyue is very beautiful, and from the perspective of a mature man like Chen Yibo now, her beauty brings a coquettish and temptation. This is fundamentally different from middle-aged women of their age. But Li Lingyue always deliberately dressed herself very old-fashioned, covering her beauty and graceful figure as much as possible. However, it is a pity that everyone does not think that there is anything strange about this behavior, but thinks that a woman of her age should be like this, which reflects a virtue of our Chinese nation, women's morality.

At that time, he met her in an old community where they had lived for 20 years, and now it has long been demolished, and Li Lingyue bought a small apartment next to it, but she didn't live very much, but often went to live in an old house in the suburbs for a while. That old mansion is where Yuqi gave birth after being discharged from the hospital last time.

Chen Yibo drove the car to the gate of the old house, there was a silver iron lock hanging on the door, looking through the crack in the door, the small courtyard was empty, and there were a few fallen leaves lying on a stone table on the left, the breeze was light, and the fallen leaves swayed, showing the loneliness and coldness of the yard.

Chen Yibo looked left and right, and finally found half a piece of turning his head three or four meters away on the right hand. He walked over and took it in his hand, which should be enough to break the lock open.

After a few bangs, bangs, bangs, the lock opened.

Chen Yibo threw away the turn of his head, took off the iron lock, pushed the door and walked in.

Walking through the courtyard, there are four rooms side by side in front, the largest one in the middle is the dining room and the living room, the only room on the left has never been opened, at least in the three times Chen Yibo has been here, next to the living room on the right hand is Li Lingyue's room, and the one on the right is Li Yuqi's residence.

Chen Yibo stared at the room on the left hand side in a daze, the door opened a crack, and from the outside, the dark room was like a tiger's den and a dragon pool, revealing inexplicable weirdness and fear. Intuition told Chen Yibo that this room had the answers he was looking for.

Taking two deep breaths, Chen Yibo resolutely strode over.

Pushing open the door, the smell of dust that had been sealed for a long time came from the pavement. Chen Yibo covered his nose with his hands, closed his eyes at the same time, and when he opened them again, he was already gradually able to adapt to the light in the room. This is a bedroom, the master bedroom of this old mansion to be exact. Because it is very large and the furnishings are also very complete, although it is not gorgeous, if it is placed a few decades ago, this carved wooden bed, pine cabinet, classical vanity mirror, each of which is not worthy of ordinary people.

Everything in the room was neatly arranged, but a corner of a box peeked out from under the wooden bed. Chen Yibo walked over and pulled the box out from under the bed. It's a red vermilion lacquered wooden box, and it's at least a few hundred years old. Staring at the box, Chen Yibo felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere not long ago, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember anything.

If you can't think of it, you don't want to think about it, so open it and look at it first.

There was no lock on the box, Chen Yibo carried it to the bed and laid it flat, I don't know if the contents of the box were heavy, or the box was heavy, in short, it took a lot of effort to pick it up.

When I opened the box, there was not much in sight, three rolled-up paintings, an old wooden comb that had almost lost its teeth, a whitened hairband with a little pink, and a brush that was about to lose its hair. Nothing else.

Chen Yibo picked up one of the three paintings and unfolded it to see that the painting was a man in an old costume, with a package on his back, standing on the bow of a boat by the river, turning sideways as if he was going to travel far. When he saw the man's appearance, Chen Yibo was stunned, the eyebrows, eyes, the bridge of the nose, and the lips were all extremely similar to him, no, they were exactly the same.

What's going on? Someone painted an ancient painting in his likeness? It's not like ah, look at this paper, it's obviously old.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Chen Yibo opened the second painting. He is still painted, but the clothes and background have all changed, this time he is no longer wearing shabby clothes, but instead of a gorgeous official uniform; The completely changed "he" sat in a garden-like pavilion, holding a delicate teacup in his hand, and he didn't know what he was looking at with a smile in his eyes.

After opening the third painting, Chen Yibo was stunned. There are a lot of characters in the painting this time, but the man in the middle, dressed in white and pressed by two guards in front of an open dragon-headed guillotine, is exactly what he looks like. The background of this painting seems to be in a public court, because at the top of the painting there seems to be a plaque with the four big characters "Mirror Hanging", and below it is a desk, behind which sits a black-faced man wearing an official uniform with an angry face, and a crescent-shaped birthmark on the man's forehead. On the right side, two women in Chinese clothes sat and knelt, sitting seemed to be older, and their faces were no longer clear, and the kneeling woman seemed to be more like slumping to the ground, looking sadly at the man who was pressed on the guillotine and Chen Yibo. Looking at the side of the woman, for a moment, Chen Yibo realized that she was Nia.
