This album contains photos of Xiao Yao of all ages, from birth to kindergarten, to elementary school and junior high school. The characters in the photos are sometimes Xiao Yao alone, sometimes he is with his family, and sometimes he is playing with some friends.

"This is kindergarten...... Yu Luying didn't know if she was asking Xiao Yao or talking to herself.

Xiao Yao glanced at it: "Yes." ”

That photo is a group photo, Xiao Yao is standing in a row in front, with a round face, fleshy face, big eyes, a small nose, and a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, looking a little cute and a little bad. Black hair, a little curly, like a small westerly.

In the photo, Xiao Yao is wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt with a small cartoon pattern on the dress and a pair of dark blue pants. His clothes look very neat and without a trace of wrinkles.

"Little dad didn't look at how upright you were when you were a child—and it was upright when I was at that time," Shen Tianyun said, "Why are you sloppy all day long!" ”

"Huh-" Shen Jie answered, "I think this one is the most beautiful." ”

"No," Yu Luying pursed her lips and smiled, "I think the most beautiful is still this ......."

She flipped to a photo of her elementary school days, still a group photo, Xiao Yao had grown a lot taller, standing in the back row of the line, his thick hair hanging on his forehead, and his eyes became brighter.

"Why are you pouting?" Yu Luying pointed to the photo and asked Xiao Yao.

"If you fail the exam, you still need to ask." Shen Jie is confident.

"Who failed the exam, I was a good student at that time!"

"Is it delicious, fun and trick-or-treating?" Shen Jie teased.

"I have a certificate!" Xiao Yao took the album and flipped it to one place.

"Really?" Shen Jie's surprise was very deliberate.

"There are also members of the Zhang Excellent Shaoxian team." Yu Luying said.

"I didn't expect our family Xiao Yao to have such a brilliant time, let's see if there is still a captain in the future to make a report to the whole school?" Shen Jie then flipped back.

"The first and second grade three good students, the class president, the third and fourth grade outstanding team members, the deputy class leader, there is nothing in the back." Xiao Yao admitted.

A history of human degradation.

"Ai-" Shen Jie let out this long voice again: "Your peak is a little early and a little short." ”

Xiao Yao wanted to say, "Knowing you is the beginning of my new peak", but thinking of Yu Luying's presence, he didn't say anything.

"Poof!" Shen Tianyun next to him sneered for some reason, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

Shen Jie glanced at her inexplicably, frowned, and didn't speak.

……

"Look at you, how nice you were when you were a child." Shen Jie sighed, and turned the album to the last few pages: "When I was in junior high school, I had a bitter face, just like you now." ”

Xiao Yao chuckled, and was about to complain, but Shen Jie had already turned to Shen Tianyun: "Nan, you hurry up and think of a way to study how to open the passage to 1994." ”

"Huh?" Shen Tianyun said: "I'm not developing a time machine. ”

"I'm going to 1994 and stroke this guy's hair fiercely," Shen Jie said with a smile: "Silly girls can also come together." ”

"I don't want it," Yu Luying pursed her lips and smiled: "And Xiao Yao will be jealous, right?" ”

"Just kidding," Xiao Yao said nonchalantly: "As long as you can go, you can hold me at the age of 6 and gnaw on the grass casually, what kind of jealousy I eat, isn't it all me?" ”

"Beware of being accused of copper smelting and being caught," Shen Tianyun rolled his eyes: "Strange aunt." ”

Shen Jie raised her hand and gave Shen Tianyun a sugar-fried chestnut.

"Wow-" Shen Tianyun hugged her head and shouted half-truthfully: "Your habitual domestic violence, if I go to the Women's Federation or the Youth Office, do you know what will happen?" ”

What does it have to do with me, what do you mean by "we"? Xiao Yao thought.

"Who isn't a woman and teenager anymore?" Shen Jie said with a smile.

In the midst of the noise, Xiao Yao pulled out the photo of Shen Jie's so-called "bitter face" from his junior high school days.

He recognized that this was supposed to be the second year of junior high school, he was already quite tall, and there was already fluff above his lips.

The boy's clothes were very plain and looked a little dull, and his hair was a short-shaved brush head, not much longer than he had just been released from prison.

His eyes were a little melancholy, the corners of his mouth drooped significantly, and he looked listless, as if he was immersed in his own world.

Xiao Yao read the inner contradictions and confusion in his eyes, and the whole photo revealed a depressing atmosphere.

Xiao Yao flipped the photo to the back and saw the handwritten date, looking at the handwriting, it should be his mother's.

Silently, he reinserted the photo in his hand back into the plastic cover.

The boy sat in the middle of the three girls and looked at his past with them.

He remembered the photos, each one of which had deep memories.

He saw his own smiles and sorrows, as well as the bits and pieces of his mother, and his father, his childhood playmates, and his cousins and cousins in those years.

Looking at these photos, Xiao Yao thought of his parents and the past years, but his heart was surprisingly calm, and he didn't feel sad at all.

In fact, the reason why I put the album at the bottom of the iron box and never opened it for a year is because I am afraid of arousing sentimental feelings.

And at this moment, all he felt was a detailed peace and happiness.

The three girls were also afraid that he would be sad, so they didn't mention Xiao Yao's parents, and took the initiative to skip the photos of Xiao Yao's parents.

"There's no need," Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and pressed a family photo: "Let me introduce to you, this is my father, my mother, they don't want me anymore." ”

The three girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

"You don't have to worry about my feelings," Xiao Yao continued, "For a year, I have been depressed about this unchangeable fact, but I don't feel the slightest bit now.

"Do you know why? Because of the three of you, the three of you are by my side, and the three of you, look at this album with me. ”

"I understand," Shen Jie stroked Xiao Yao's dog head, "You are not alone."

"Family, wife, friends," Xiao Yao continued, "As long as I have you, I have nothing to be sad about, and I have nothing more to ask for, all I feel now is ...... Only ......"

Xiao Yao racked his brains to find the right words.

"Peace and joy?" Yu Luying said.

"Peace and joy." Xiao Yao told them: "I love you. ”

"Hiss—alright, alright," Shen Tianyun said, "The flesh is numb." ”

"I don't speak anymore," Xiao Yao smiled, "Look." ”

At this moment, Yu Luying's mobile phone rang.

"Silly girl, it was your mother who urged you to go home for dinner, right?"

"Probably, right?" Yu Luying found her mobile phone from the sofa, glanced at the number, and picked it up directly: "Hey? Uncle? ”

“……”

"What? Now? Yu Luying said with some surprise.

“……”

"Then I'll ask them." Yu Luying took the microphone a little farther away: "Uncle asked you if you have any arrangements tonight?" ”

"Me?" Shen Tianyun said: "I'm going to square dance. ”

"What's the matter with you again?" Shen Jie glanced at Shen Tianyun: "We don't have any arrangements, what's wrong?" ”

"What about the arrangement......," Xiao Yao muttered, "I originally wanted to say goodbye to Shen Jie?" ”

"Hey, uncle?" Yu Luying put her phone to her ear again: "They said they were all free." ”

There were three black lines on Xiao Yao's forehead. ￣□￣｜｜

Are you listening to me, don't make decisions on your own!

Forget it, I'm used to it.

"Got it." Yu Luying hung up the phone and stood up: "Let's hurry up and eat, and end the battle in half an hour." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Yao and Shen Jie asked in unison while cleaning up the photo album on the ground.

Twenty minutes later, the three of them solved the fast food on the table, and only Shen Tianyun was still eating slowly.

"Little Daddy, there's not enough rice!" Shen Tianyun complained: "Didn't I tell you? I want four portions of rice. ”

"Uh, I'm sorry," Xiao Yao embarrassed: "I forgot again, why don't you go out and buy it yourself?" ”

"Can you die?" Shen Tianyun blurted out, complaining in the Internet language of their time, and then realized that he was going to eat "fried chestnuts with sugar" again, and quickly covered his mouth.

It didn't work, she still ate one strongly.

"You can't talk to your elders like that!" Shen Jie reprimanded.

Yu Luying lowered her head and smiled secretly.

"You too," Shen Jie scolded the little one, and then scolded the old one: "Don't you count the amount of food in your heart?" I don't care enough about my daughter. ”

"Deeply reflect and resolutely correct." Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie went in to change clothes, and after more than ten minutes, she came out wearing a gray T-shirt, gray cropped slacks, and gray N-shaped shoes on her feet, revealing a section of gray sports socks.

"Beautiful, Cinderella." Xiao Yao praised from the bottom of his heart.

"My sister really knows how to put on clothes." Yu Luying also said the same.

"What, just give me ten minutes to change my clothes," Shen Jie complained, "Take it casually." ”

"Sister won't be the kind of girl who doesn't wear makeup and doesn't go out, right?" Yu Luying pursed her lips and smiled.

"That's not going to be it......"

After telling Shen Tianyun not to demolish the house, the three of them walked through the long alley and walked towards the main road.

The sky had gradually darkened, and the evening breeze was blowing slowly, with a little coolness.

It was the rush hour after work, there were not a few pedestrians on the road, a few people were walking in a hurry, Xiao Yao turned sideways sensitively, so that he was not hit.

"Who's ......," the boy complained.

The clouds on the horizon gradually change color, from red to orange and then from orange to yellow, like a magnificent oil painting. The sun faded and the light of the street lamps grew brighter, illuminating their faces.

Xiao Yao walked on the outermost side of the sidewalk, Yu Luying walked on the inside, and Shen Jie was sandwiched in the middle, holding one with her left hand and the other with her right hand.

She didn't plan to hold Xiao Yao in front of Yu Luying, but she habitually made a move, and when she wanted to pull back, Xiao Yao squeezed her hand tightly and didn't let go.

The three of them were silent, walking, glancing at each other from time to time, and then immediately looking away.

In such a delicate atmosphere, Shen Jie was thinking crankily as she walked.

In the original timeline, when he met Xiao Yao, Yu Luying was already "absent".

In other words, the silly girl will not live to be 30 years old.

Although Shen Jie called herself a fatalist, after really knowing this kind of thing, she still felt a burst of indescribable sadness.

Fate is so unfair.

Fanghua only had a moment, and the red face withered in the snap of his fingers.

She vows to do everything in her power to change the fate of the silly girl.

What if, the future can be changed? How do you know if you don't try?

Do your best, and then you will be at the mercy of heaven, won't you?

First of all, the first step is to investigate the cause of the silly girl's death.

Shen Jie let out a deep breath in her chest.

If the future really can't be changed...... At least, return her original lover to her, so that the silly girl's youth can be full and happy, without regrets.

If you can't bear it...... At least half of her lover can give it to her.

After all, he is the one who is airborne.

……

A sprinkler truck slowly drove along the asphalt road, and Shen Jie subconsciously pulled Xiao Yao in a little to prevent him from staining his clothes with the spray of water mist.

Then, suddenly, she stopped.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying looked at the petite girl in confusion.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she was gathering courage, and then, she tightly held Yu Luying's left hand and Xiao Yao's right hand and pressed them together.

"Sister!" Yu Luying was taken aback, and Xiao Yao also subconsciously wanted to shake off Yu Luying's hand.

"Pull it up." The queen ordered in an unquestioning tone, and then let Xiao Yao walk in the middle, squeezing Yu Luying to the far right.

She herself grabbed Xiao Yao's left hand tightly.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying both felt embarrassed, but Shen Jie had a posture of "as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed".

The young man's psychological feelings were a little subtle, but he still held their hands and walked on the street.

Shen Jie's hands were small and soft, and Yu Luying's hands were slightly rough, but both of them had warm hands, which made Xiao Yao feel a warm current flowing in his heart.

Gradually, there were more people on the road.

Feeling the strange gazes cast by others, Xiao Yao was a little overwhelmed, on the relatively narrow sidewalk, it was easy for three people to walk side by side and hand in hand to block the way of others.

Although Xiao Yao has always boasted of being cheeky, he had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender to Shen Jie in this field at this moment.

He couldn't bear the stares and whispers of others, and wanted to let go of their hands, but both hands refused to carry out the instructions of his brain no matter what.

I can't be dreaming, am I? Xiao Yao thought.

Even if it's a dream, let me keep going.

Xiao Yao turned his head to look to the left, and then to the right.

Shen Jie's smile was a little reluctant, but still beautiful; Yu Luying's face was a little shy, but the glint in her eyes was pure happiness.

They turned into the old shopping street, where the shops were brightly lit and all sorts of billboards and signboards flashed.

Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief - although there were more people here, at least he wouldn't stand in the way of others.

But he will soon feel that he is relieved.

Because, at this moment, the young man heard a hesitant female voice behind him.

"Yu Luying? Resemble...... Yao? ”

The three of them subconsciously turned their heads and wanted to shake off each other's hands, but it was too late.

The person who called their names was Zhou Yao, Xiao Yao's classmate, and Yu Luying's tablemate.

Beside Zhou Yao, there was still a boy with a flat face, and at this moment, his eyes were burning with jealousy.

It's Wang Ming.
