"Then Mr. Bai, I'll go first."

After bidding farewell to He Xiaowen, he looked at the white envelope in his hand, and saw that the surface of the envelope was written with the simple words Yaolong personally opened.

The handwriting is neat and tidy, and it is full of strength.

When Bai Yaolong was in junior high school, he occasionally copied Xu Wenmin's homework from the committee member Xi, so he was no stranger to this beautiful handwriting.

The word is like its master, which makes people respect.

But looking at these beautiful words, his hands trembled a little, for fear of falling into the terrible grief of yesterday again.

He came to the balcony, where he could just see the river view, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the entire floor, whether it was himself or Qiu Ju next to him, it was like a layer of gold.

The warm sunlight made the distant riverbank sparkle, and the nearby greenery was layered, and this scenery finally gave him a trace of courage to open the letter.

When I opened the envelope, it was a page torn from a notebook, and the tear marks were very neat.

Slowly unfolding the letterhead, the whole neat and traceless chapter came into view, the words were very beautiful, but Bai Yaolong hoped that this neatly written letter never appeared.

"Yaolong:

When you read this letter, I think you should have left this world, and I am writing this letter just to express your gratitude for bringing the last bit of brilliance to my life, although it is insignificant, but I still hope that you will accept it.

Do you remember what I said to you next to the playground in the third year of junior high school, I said that what I like is people who can protect their families at home and contribute to society when they go out of school, and now you have really achieved the kind of person I said, and I am sincerely happy for you.

I think my words at the time changed you more or less, but I said such unashamed words, but I became a clown, maybe this is fate to make people.

In your company these few days, I know that you are doing your best to calm my heart.

You took me to the night view on a boat, took me to Nanshan Amusement Park, and even planned to accompany me back to Baijing Town this week, all for me to get out of the haze in my heart, and I also felt very happy.

Thank you so much for not treating me like a stranger and for taking me away from that sinful place without hesitation.

But I'm a bit of a person, because I had this intention from the moment my mother died, and I didn't want to continue to live with this swaggered body and broken heart, and I had fulfilled my responsibilities as a child.

I don't feel pain to leave this world, on the contrary, it is a relief for me, so please don't feel sorry for me.

Of course, please don't have any nostalgia for me, although I can feel your affection these days, I can't be with you.

Because, I am no longer a person worthy of you, and although I am very happy in the past few days with you, I am more ashamed and inferior in my heart.

I'm gone, thank you for spending the last pleasant time with me in my life, if there is an afterlife, I will repay you, don't read it!

Xu Wenminzhi! ”

The content of the letter was very short, but Bai Yaolong knew that the intersection between the two was actually the same as the letter, very short.

Bai Yaolong didn't know why Xu Wenmin, who was arrogant and beautiful before, had fallen into the dust, but as Xu Wenmin said in his letter, since he met Xu Wenmin by chance in Donghai City and forcibly brought her back, he has been trying to heal her inner wounds, hoping to bring her back to his own world again.

However, he still didn't do it, in fact, when he saw Xu Wenmin's expression a few times, he knew that what he had done was far from enough.

But Bai Yaolong had never experienced the devastation of poverty in his life, so he never thought that Xu Wenmin would commit suicide.

Or in fact, he is the last straw that crushes Xu Wenmin, maybe Xu Wenmin's true thoughts in his heart are that he doesn't want him to see his frustration and unbearable.

"Wen Min.."

The letter paper was already covered with tears, and Bai Yaolong couldn't hold it anymore and wiped a handful of tears and snot.

He regretted that he was still busy with work these days, regretted that he didn't notice Xu Wenmin's subtle thoughts, and regretted why he didn't respect his heart all these years to find this girl who had always been in his heart.

Bai Yaolong lowered his hand, but the letter in his hand inadvertently fell to the ground.

But he didn't pick it up, just stared at the sky like this, like a statue, and it was really uncomfortable to feel painful.

After sitting like this for half an hour, Bai Yaolong picked up the letter on the ground and locked it into the safe again along with the photo.

He put on his coat and walked towards the door, losing Xu Wenmin made him want to see his dearest person in this world soon.

Half an hour later, he drove to an old neighborhood, which was so old that there was no place to park downstairs, so he usually had to park his car in another block.

After parking the car, he bought his mother's favorite apples at the roadside street fruit shop, and the proprietress of the fruit shop was an old neighbor here, so she was very enthusiastic about his arrival.

After walking through the alley and climbing the four flights of stairs from an old building, he came to a door plastered with many small advertisements.

There was a knock on the door, and soon a kind old man's voice came from inside the door.

"It's coming!"

"Mom, I'm back." Bai Yaolong sorted out his emotions and smiled.

"It's good to come back, what are you doing with things, I can't buy anything here" After speaking, he didn't wait for Bai Yaolong to say anything, took the apple in his hand and walked inside.

Then he said as he walked: "Go wash your hands, I made your favorite boiled fish and garlic white meat, wash it and taste it." ”

Bai Yaolong felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and after washing his hands and looked at the room, everything was clean and tidy, these details told her that her mother's health was still very good.

Although he persuaded his mother many times to live with him in his riverside villa, his mother said that he was used to living here and could not do without the old neighbors who chatted with her.

Bai Yaolong was also very helpless, but in the end, he thought that as long as his mother was happy, it was not the same where he stayed.

After the mother and son sat down, Bai Yaolong first served Bai Yaolong a bowl of taro soup, and then said with a smile: "Try it, I bought fresh taro from the supermarket today, I stewed it with bone broth." ”

Bai Yaolong drank two mouthfuls of soup, which was delicious and delicious, and the taro melted in his mouth. Looking at the dishes on the table again, he thought that if he could bring Xu Wenmin, he didn't know how happy his mother would be.

Thinking of this, his mood was a little lower again, and Bai Mu seemed to see that he was a little unhappy, and asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties at work, and you feel that you are preoccupied." ”

Bai Yaolong shook his head and said, "No, Mom, don't worry about it." ”

Bai Mu nodded, but put down her chopsticks and continued: "Xiaolong, don't blame your mother for nagging, you are 32 years old, since you broke up with Sirong, haven't you thought about finding another one?"

Although Sirong is not sensible, but after so many years, the shadow she caused you should also pass, people must learn to look forward, I am this age, half of my body is in the soil, you don't really plan to make me, an old woman and grandson, invisible, just go to see your father. ”

Bai Yaolong guessed that his mother would definitely say these words, which was something his mother would talk about every time he came home.

But he has been busy with work all these years, not to mention, just the trauma caused to him by Tang Sirong in the past has made him never regain his confidence in love and marriage.

The chance encounter with Xu Wenmin in the past few days had brought him great confidence, and he even planned to bring Xu Wenmin to meet the old man before, but unfortunately...

But after this incident, he didn't want to hurt these important people in his life anymore, so he replied to the old man: "Mom, I came back this time to tell you about this, I figured it out, and I plan to find someone to marry."

Didn't you say earlier that the second aunt introduced a primary school teacher, let the second aunt arrange it, and I will meet her first. ”

"Really? You've finally got your senses, I'm going to call your second aunt and ask for the girl's phone. Bai Mu didn't expect that she would succeed in this blow, and stood up happily.

"Mom, what are you in a hurry, you have eaten!" Bai Yaolong looked at his mother's excited appearance, as if she had won the jackpot, which showed how worried she was about her life's events.

"Eat, eat, eat hard, Mom is happy today." Bai Mu also smiled.

"Has Sirong's mother been here these days?" Bai Yaolong then asked.

"No, it's basically me who goes to see her, hey, she's also a poor person, if those things hadn't happened, there wouldn't be only us on the table today, hey, it's really evil, it's evil." The White Mother sighed.

"But no matter what Sirong is, her Tang family is also kind to our Lao Bai family, and we have to drink water and think about the source of life, and the grievances are clear.

So you should go to see Aunt Yin (Tang Sirong's mother) more often, and even visit Uncle Tang (Tang Sirong's father) in prison if you have the chance, you know? ”

Bai Yaolong nodded, if Xu Wenmin's death yesterday was a new sorrow, then Tang Sirong's relationship with himself was an out-and-out old injury.

He has been single until now, in fact, it is largely related to Tang Sirong, but he doesn't blame Tang Sirong, because he understands that love can't be controlled by himself many times.

After eating, Bai Yaolong made a phone call to He Xiaowen to inquire about Xu Wenmin's funeral, He Xiaowen told him that he had finished his grooming and could prepare for the farewell ceremony at any time, and Secretary Gong also reported that as long as he went back to sign the investment agreement, he would arrange the next things, including the need for land and environmental protection procedures for the factory.

And Bai Mu was chatting with his second aunt about something, needless to say, it was mostly Bai Yaolong's blind date.

Listening to his mother talking about marriage, Bai Yaolong sighed, here Xu Wenmin's bones are not cold, but his family is talking about marriage for himself, is this a prank by God on his feelings.

At night, he was lying in bed here as a child, but he unexpectedly dreamed that Xu Wenmin came back to find her.

The dream was very vague, but he could vaguely see that Xu Wenmin in the dream was what he looked like when he was in junior high school.

They sat together, but Xu Wenmin didn't look at him, just kept muttering something in his mouth, he couldn't hear it clearly, as if reading: "Come... Happiness... Here you go! ”

Bai Yaolong felt very weird, and pulled Xu Wenmin with his hand, but the other party did not react, and was still there with broken thoughts, as if it was a stone sculpture.

"Wen Min, Wen Min, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!"

Bai Yaolong shook Xu Wenmin, but Xu Wenmin still didn't react, looked around, but there was nothing but darkness.

When he looked back at Xu Wenmin again, Xu Wenmin's face turned into Tang Sirong's, but this time she didn't look straight ahead, but looked at him at a right angle of 90 degrees, looking indescribably terrifying.

At this time, Tang Sirong only said one word: "Come!" Bai Yaolong couldn't control his fear anymore and was scared awake.
