"You're busy with work and don't have time to play games, so I've picked up a lot of materials for you, and you can build a lot of houses with these materials tonight."

"Okay."

Chen Miao rushed over with a smile and hugged Master Meow into his arms: "Build a big house for you tonight!" ”

The giggles of the two of them resounded in the living room.

The puppy lying on the carpet also kept wagging its tail and jumping in place when it saw this, as if it was also very happy, only the fat cat lying on the balcony basking in the sun lazily looked back at the two people playing on the sofa, and retracted his gaze.

And just like that, another few years passed.

Chen Miao looked a little decadent and sat alone in the messy living room, without turning on the light, he curled up on the sofa, as if he could bury himself in the night.

The company went out of business.

Because of one of his overly bold decisions, he lost his net worth.

He has been hiding the news, he doesn't want to tell Xiao Meow, he doesn't want Xiao Meow to feel too much pressure, but every time he goes home and sees Xiao Meow's smiling face, he always feels uncomfortable, and he always feels sorry for Xiao Meow.

Because of his failure, Xiao Meow went back to the past with him.

He chose to separate.

This time he was resolute.

Little Meow left with the dog and the fat cat, and the originally lively and warm home became empty overnight, with nothing missing, and it felt like there was nothing left.

The floor was full of empty beer cans.

The ashtray on the coffee table had also overflowed, and the ashtray was full of burnt cigarette butts and scattered soot, and in a trance, he turned on the survival building game he had played with Meow before.

This is a two-player game.

Players control their character as they pick up materials on a desert island and choose a place to build their own house to defend against monsters.

He used to play this game with Meow all night, and he often played all night, and the laughter of the two kept resounding in the living room.

It's just that this time he played the role of Little Meow.

The character's backpack is filled with all kinds of materials, and even three warehouses have been built to store the materials that are not used up.

Seeing these overflowing materials, he suddenly remembered that since his career failed, he seemed to have not played a game with Xiao Meow for a long time, and he had never seen Xiao Meow play, originally thought that Xiao Meow would not play.

Now it seems that when he went out during the day, Xiao Meow was still playing, but he hadn't told him about it.

In a trance.

He picks up the controller and controls the character to start picking up materials on the isolated island.

One.

Two.

Three.

After only ten minutes of picking up materials, he was almost bored to the point of suffocation, and picking up materials was no fun to do, like mechanical work, constantly chopping down trees to pick up wood and wild fruits.

He reacted suddenly.

It's such a boring thing.

Little Meow often stays at home, picking up is picking up for a day, just to play with him, he can not feel the boredom of picking up materials, and can enjoy the pleasure of building a house with materials to defend against monsters.

It slowly came to his mind that Little Meow was lying on the sofa every day like a hamster picking up one material after another, waiting for him to come back from work and play games together.

He remembered one time.

When Xiao Meow was looking forward to handing over the handle, he smashed the game console and scolded Xiao Meow for not being so naïve every day.

“.”

In the dark.

Chen Miao lit an eye and put it into his mouth, his eyes were closed and he was lying on the sofa, but tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

After a long time.

He sighed softly.

Slowly extinguish the cigarette butt in the palm of your hand.

He's going to find Little Meow, and although his career has failed this time, he believes that he will definitely be able to get up.

However, just as he pushed open the door, he saw Xiao Meow holding the dog and the fat cat sitting on the fire escape, looking at him with red eyes, Xiao Meow had clear tears on his face, and his voice trembled a little and forced out a smile: "You only came out for a long time this time, and I have been waiting for a long time." ”

"I thought you really didn't want us this time."

"I'm hungry."

"Can I go home?"

Chen Miao stood at the door and took a deep breath, then walked to Xiao Meow's side, bent down and buried his head in Xiao Meow's shoulder, and whispered, "I'm sorry, it won't be in the future." ”

It's been a long time.

For a long time, Chen Miao has become a middle-aged man.

He is already married to Meow and has their first baby, a girl who is very cute.

At the strong request of Meow Ye.

They named the child Little Meow.

"Anyway, why do you have to give your child that name?"

Chen Miao, who was lying on the sofa holding the handle and playing games with Xiao Meow, said helplessly: "It always feels strange to give a baby this name." ”

"Hmph, you don't understand."

Little Meow pouted, looking like she wasn't going to explain.

"That's right."

Chen Miao suddenly remembered something, looked at the screen and said, "I also went to pick up materials last time, this process is really boring, how do you accumulate so many materials every day, aren't you boring?" ”

"I don't think so."

Xiao Meow pointed to his character's backpack on the screen and said with a serious expression: "Every time I see the backpack stuffed with materials, I will have a very satisfied feeling, and Brother Miao, don't you like to build a house?" ”

"I feel even happier when I think of your happy expression when you come back at night and see that there are so many materials that you can build a house with."

"You're so tired out there."

"You're only happy when you're playing games, and I want you to be happy a little longer."

Chen Miao was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Xiao Meow and suddenly laughed softly: "You are so good, you are so good-looking, I think I may really fall in love with you." ”

As soon as the words fell.

Xiao Meow jumped up from the sofa in an instant, and before Xiao Meow got angry, Chen Miao hugged Xiao Meow and begged for mercy for the first time: "Wrong, wrong, my brain pumped just now, and I don't know why such a sentence suddenly popped out." ”

"Hmph."

"I'll forgive you this time, Xiao Meow Ye is a child's nickname, and the big name is Chen Ye."

"Master Chen?"

This time, Chen Miao was really confused, and turned her head to look at the girl lying in the stroller: "Do you really want to give our daughter such an arrogant name?" Even if you add a word in the middle, Chen Ye always feels too arrogant, not as good as Chen Beibi? ”

"No, I want Chen Ye!"

Xiao Meow pursed her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "The name Chen Beibi is too ugly, I want Chen Ye!" ”

"Okay, okay, according to you, according to you."

Day after day passed.

On this day-

It was Chen Miao's seventieth birthday, he took Xiao Meow to the beach, and many things have happened to him and Xiao Meow over the years, there are noises, joys, and even countless times when the two are about to separate.

But in the end, they kept the promise they made when they were young.

To remain a devoted couple to the end of their lives.

They had three children.

Except that the first child is a girl, the next two children are boys, the second child's name is Chen Erye, and the third child's name is Chen Sanye.

Although Chen Miao raised a lot of protests, they were all strongly rejected by Xiao Meow.

In terms of naming rights, Xiao Meow doesn't listen to anyone's advice.

"Little meow."

Chen Miao sat in a wheelchair, her face was full of wrinkles, and she looked at the sea in front of her with a little old eyes, and muttered in a trance: "I may be really old, I can't see the sea clearly, I can only smell the fishy smell of the sea breeze." ”

"I've been having a dream lately."

"I dreamed that I used to have some very good brothers, I can't remember their names, but it seems that there was a man named Hungry Monkey."

"Do you think I'm Alzheimer's, how can I keep dreaming over and over again?"

Xiao Meow stood behind Chen Miao, holding the handle of the wheelchair, did not speak, but gently stroked Chen Miao's wrinkled cheeks, and only whispered after a long time: "I'm sorry." ”

"Excuse me?"

Chen Miao coughed a few times with difficulty, and then took out a cigarette from his arms tremblingly, lit it and put it in his mouth: "Why did you suddenly say sorry?" ”

Xiao Meow shook her head and didn't reply, but whispered to herself: "Thank you, Brother Miao, I regret that I didn't meet you earlier, and in the decades with you, I have found the true meaning of human life." ”

"I suddenly realized that what I had been pursuing before didn't make any sense."

"Thank you, Brother Miao, for taking me to experience this gorgeous life in the last stage of my life."

"Just sorry"

"Forgive me for being selfish, for letting you stay here with me for so long, I really don't want to leave, I wasn't very afraid of death before I met you, but after I met you, I was suddenly very afraid of death."

"I can't imagine how I will face my life without you in the future."

"I'm used to you standing in front of me."

"What are you talking about?"

Chen Miao had a hint of panic in her eyes, and looked back at Xiao Meow, who was also white-headed, standing behind her, with difficulty, and her voice couldn't help but tremble because of anxiety: "Did something happen?" Don't fail to think about it! ”

"We can pay as much as we want, we have money, I have money."

"Don't look for short-sightedness!"

Xiao Meow shook his head, looked up at the end of the sea, felt the refreshing sea breeze, and suddenly laughed: "Although I really don't want to say this, saying it means that everything is going to end, but I have to say it." ”

"Because the bus is almost there."

"If you don't say anything, you'll never wake up."

"Nothing you see is real, we are in a dream, in a fourth dream, remember?"

"It was you who brought me in, we were actually in a hellbus to hell, and you were my conductor, and I was just a regular passenger of yours."

"What crazy are you talking about, you."

Chen Miao was a little frightened by this inexplicable remark, and stood up with some emotion, and was about to touch Xiao Meow's forehead, but the movement gradually slowed down, and after a while.

He sat back in his wheelchair, took out the mirror and looked at his old and familiar cheeks in his glasses, slowly lit a cigarette and put it to his mouth again, and was silent for a long time before he whispered hoarsely.

"Thanks, I might have forgotten without you."

"When did you wake up?"
