Today is her twenty-second birthday.

She never imagined that her parents, whom she hadn't seen for four years, would surprise her so much today.

Bai Yi looked at his father, who was a little strange in front of him, and didn't react for a while, until his mother slammed out from behind his father and gave her a big hug, she jumped up excitedly.

"Ahh I'm not dreaming, am I? Are you back? You're really back! ”

"Stinky girl, be quiet." Father Bai patted Bai Yi's head and looked left and right, "Let's talk about it when we go home." ”

Bai Yi reluctantly arched in his mother's arms, smelling the long-lost breath on his mother's body, and his eyes were still red.

Her parents went out to hide debts, her younger brother was sent to study abroad, and she was the only one who stayed here to guard the place that carried her memories from childhood to adulthood.

Since they left, Bai Yi rarely returned to the old area of City A. Half of the community has been demolished, leaving only a few old bald buildings standing empty.

There was an old barrier at the entrance of the community, and my father had just approached the gatehouse before he could speak, when he saw the old man in the room glancing at them, and waved his hand impatiently to let them in.

I followed my memory to the square where the old man and the old lady were always basking in the sun, and at this time there was only desolation.

For some reason, looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Yi felt for the first time that this was no longer a refuge. She gently pulled down her mother's sleeve, and before she could speak, she heard her father's sigh in front of her, which drifted gently into her ears along the gust of wind.

She pursed her lips and stopped talking.

As soon as he went up to the seventh floor, Bai Yi was once again frightened by the scene in front of him. The entire corridor and door were splashed with red paint, and even the word "death" was written on the anti-theft door.

The atmosphere became oppressive again.

was silent for a long time, and finally Bai Mu touched Bai Yi's head to break the family that shouldn't be dull, "Today is Yiyi's birthday, or let's go out to eat." ”

Father Bai frowned and seemed a little embarrassed, they had already sneaked back, if they went out again, there would be many people, I was afraid...

"It's okay, it doesn't matter where we are as a family."

Bai Yi saw her father's embarrassment, she took out the key from her bag, swept the garbage in front of the door and walked in first.

The things in the room were the same as before, just dusty, and the photo wall facing the door was still covered with their pictures.

The mother was stunned for a long time before she slowly walked over and gently stroked the white and delicate face in the photo, again and again.

Since the accident, Bai Weiwei has cut off contact with them, she knows that her mother misses him, "Mom, I'll help you call the only one." ”

As soon as Bai Yi took out his mobile phone, he heard Bai Mu's crying voice, "Don't call him!" ”

Sensing that she was a little excited, Bai Mu wiped the tears on her face and said softly, "He's still sleeping, let's not disturb him." ”

At this time, my father came over and put my mother's shoulder, "I've already cleaned up over there, let's go over and eat the cake first." Daddy bought you your favorite dark chocolate cake. ”

After speaking, he waved to Bai Yi and walked towards the dining table.

The dust on the table has been cleaned up by Father Bai, and looking at the sweat on his father's sideburns, Bai Yi seems to have returned to the past in an instant.

"Dad, when will such days come to an end?" Bai Yi took a bite of the cake, and the already bitter taste was even more difficult to swallow at this time.

"Come on, girl, as long as the matter is over, our family will never be separated again."

"I'll graduate next year, I'm not going to go to the hospital for an internship, I want to find a job to help you."

She has been thinking about this for a long time, and she will graduate and enter the hospital for internship next year, and she will be eligible for the examination for at least one year to get her salary. She would rather give up her profession as a doctor and go out and find another job than live like this again.

"No way!"

Bai Yi rarely saw his father's serious appearance, which was one of them.

"You've given the only chance to go abroad, and Dad can't see you even abandon your favorite profession!"

"Dad, I just want to..."

"You don't have to think about anything, just study for me obediently, and we'll take care of the rest."

Bai Yi knew her father's temper, she didn't speak again, silently enjoying this rare reunion.

Time passed slowly, and the originally gray weather was completely overcast at this time.

The house grew dark, and my mother found some old candles in the bedroom and lit them.

The dim candlelight once again pulled Shiraichi into the past. The mother who is lying on her side shaking the fan, the younger brother who always likes to hold her hand when she sleeps, and the father who is crouching in front of the desk to draw... Although it was crowded, it was so warm.

Suddenly, a dazzling lightning bolt pulled Bai Yi back, she took her mother's hand and turned her head to look out the window, "It's going to rain." You guys, today... Still leaving? ”

"Husband, why don't we clean up and live at home today."

The father hesitated, but before he could say no, a loud noise sounded outside the window, and after a while, a heavy raindrop fell.

"Okay, but we'll have to leave tomorrow at dawn."

"Great, I'm going to sleep with my mom."

When she was really nestled in her mother's arms, she felt that this day was real.

When her mother gently patted her on the back, Bai Yi's tears could no longer hold back and burst out of her eyes.

"One by one, you are more sensible than the only one, but Mom knows that you are also blaming us in your heart. Mom and Dad are sorry for you, especially you..."

"Mom, can you tell me what happened back then, why did you borrow loan sharks, and why did you provoke those people?"

Bai Mu was stunned for a moment, and her voice became serious, "I told you not to ask about this anymore." ”

"Mom! We are a family, why can't we speak up and solve it together? ”

"With Dad and I, I don't need you. I have only one request now, I just want you and the only good one. ”

"Mom..."

"Alright, go to sleep. It's going to be over soon, it's over soon, and when it's over, we'll go and find the only one, and we'll never be separated again. ”

"Hmm!" Bai Yi sniffed, and slowly fell asleep with his mother's whispered nagging.

A loud thunderclap swept through again, followed by a sharp knock on the door. Bai Yi was woken up, sat up in a daze, and just wanted to ask when his mother pulled her up violently, and his mother pulled her around a few times aimlessly, which was a panic that Bai Yi had never seen.

"Mom, you hurt me, what's going on?!"

The mother suddenly stopped, looked at the wardrobe in the corner, walked over quickly and opened the door, and shouted to Bai Yi, who was stunned in place, "Come in!" ”

"What the hell is going on!"

"Get in! Listen, no matter what happens or what the sound is, don't hear it! ”

Bai Yi never knew that his mother's small size would have such great power.

She pushed Shiraichi in hard.

"What the hell is going on Mom, I... Where's my mobile phone, find Uncle Zhou! Bai Yi struggled to get out of the closet, but in exchange for Bai Mu's louder reprimand.
