and share this life with affection

That day, Zhou Suihuai seemed to be in a good mood.

In the morning, I lit firecrackers with a few children and made candied haws with them.

It gave the entire Zhou family a sweet smell of caramel.

The Zhou family members looked at Zhou Suihuai happily, understanding tacitly.

After lunch, Zhou Suihuai took his children to see a snowman and have a snowball fight.

Several of the children were already five years old. The boys were very strong. They surrounded Zhou Suihuai and beat them all alone. Snow was hanging on Zhou Suihuai's big red sweater. In a daze, he remembered that when Bian Zhi was here, two adults surrounded several children. The little devil's voice was as low as it was today, and it could be heard far away.

After coaxing the child to take a nap, Zhou Suihuai was tired, so he went to the room to take a nap.

When he was half asleep, he seemed to hear someone talking downstairs, and he came out barefoot.

The people downstairs looked at him, from top to bottom, Yuan Yining cursed, "It's winter, why don't you wear slippers and clothes? You're not afraid of the cold, why don't you hurry in!"

Zhou Suihuai saw the people sitting in the living room, and his expectation and excitement were all gone.

He turned back to the room, and at that moment, he felt a huge sense of loss in his heart.

Perhaps it was at that moment that Zhou Suihuai realized clearly——

Oh, it turns out, he is waiting.

It turned out that he had been waiting.

His subconscious made the decision to wait before he even knew it.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, lowered his head, and pulled out a chain from his collar. There was a lady's ring hanging on the chain.

It's been two years.

He could actually clearly remember Bian Zhi's demeanor when she talked to him.

When she spoke, her tone was always calm, very light, very gentle, the kind of gentleness that only belonged to him.

He was acting stupid at the time, but she was very patient.

She looked at him with a smile and said patiently: "This ring is for you. In the future, when will you feel that you are willing from the bottom of your heart and it is no longer awkward, then come to me with it. Now, leave it here with you." Keep it, no matter when you come, I will be waiting for you."

She was very sincere when she spoke.

So much so that Zhou Suihuai couldn't even remember her subsequent decision.

In other words, it's not that he can't remember it, but that he deliberately used time to cover it up. The bad and unhappy things were all precipitated in the two years of separation.

Life is too short to linger on unhappy moments for too long.

not worth it.

Too much time wasted.

He was willing to ask for compensation, and he also wanted to hear what was the reason that made her insist on leaving in the first place.

There were knots in his heart, but he knew what was most important to him.

Zhou Suihuai clutched the ring tightly.

He asked for nothing else.

This New Year, he hopes she comes back.

Time always passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, dinner was all finished.

The whole family was watching the Spring Festival Gala tacitly, but in fact they were all waiting. Old Mrs. Zhou, who was very old, started to doze off in the middle of the show.

Looking up at the time, I realized it was already ten o'clock.

Mrs. Zhou subconsciously looked for Zhou Suihuai. Yuan Yining pointed outside and said, "I'm going outside."

Mrs. Zhou sighed.

There are not many people and not many cars in the villa area.

Zhou Suihuai took a chair and sat at the door in the ice and snow. The original injury was now healed, and even the scar was gone.

He waited stubbornly, not even playing the game.

When the car ran over the thick snow and made a squeaking sound, Zhou Suihuai stood up immediately. The car lights flashed across the yard and then moved away quickly.

Like heaven's popularity, beautiful but short-lived.

"Suihuai, it's cold outside, come in." When Yuan Yining said this, it was already half past eleven.

Zhou Suihuai shook his head. Snow fell on his shoulders. His outfit was very festive, as if it was stained with a pool of blood in the snow. "No, I'll sit down again."

This sitting lasted until the early morning.

When Zhou Suihuai walked in, his eyebrows were disappointed. He looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Go back to bed. The Spring Festival Gala is over."

The Zhou family saw Zhou Suihuai's strong support. Zhou Guotao walked to Yuan Yining and said, "I'll call your good sister. What's going on? Didn't we agree for two years? Why haven't you come back?"

To the Zhou family, Bian Zhi is both a family member and a doctor. She always speaks with authority.

Two years.

She said it for two years, and they believed she would come back.

It's been two years.

What about people?

Yuan Yining called Bian Yaoyao.

The person on the other end of the phone took a long time to answer, "Hello?" His voice was low.

"Where's Zhizhi?"

Bian Yaoyao's voice hesitated, "Ah? What's wrong?"

Yuan Yining was impatient and said immediately: "I promised before that I would come back this year. Why didn't I come back? Did something happen?"

Bian Yaoyao didn't know about this or that the Zhou family was waiting. She paused, glanced at the dark window, and said softly: "She is asleep. How about I ask her to call her back tomorrow?"

When Bian Yaoyao said this, Zhou Suihuai stood on the stairs and gave a short laugh.

Then, Yuan Yining saw Zhou Suihuai take out the thin chain from his collar. Yuan Yining immediately said to Bian Yaoyao: "Go and ask? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Can't come back today? You can come back tomorrow." , should I ask my family’s plane to pick me up?”

There was a rustling voice from Bian Yaoyao's side, and then there was a very slight knock on the door.

Yuan Yining could feel the back of the person standing on the stairs.

Then, Bian Yaoyao seemed to ask the person inside the door, "Girl, someone from China called me to say, are you going back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

There was a long silence after that.

Then a vague voice came.

"not going."

There was another pause for a few seconds.

The voice was very shallow and soft, and Bian Zhi's voice was very unclear, but the Zhou family still heard clearly. Bian Zhi said three words, "Don't wait."

Zhou Suihuai chuckled.

The sound had a strong presence in the quiet Zhou family's living room.

He went upstairs, and his footsteps hit the stairs. He pulled hard and pulled the thing off his neck. Then, with a "pop!", he threw it into the trash can.

Yuan Yining frowned and asked Bian Yaoyao, "What's going on?" When Bian Zhi left, no one in the Zhou family knew the reason. Now that he doesn't come back, he still doesn't know. Yuan Yining is very anxious, " We are all a family and we have something to say, so what does this mean?"

After all, he felt sorry for his son. Yuan Yining said in a bad tone, "Although Sui Huai didn't say anything today, he waited for a whole day and pushed through all the games just for today. If he doesn't come back, tell him in advance, don't do it." Asking the child to wait with such expectancy."

Yuan Yining said this very anxiously.

Two years.

Not two days.

You never give me an explanation, which makes people feel uneasy, but what's the point?

Bian Yaoyao didn't say anything for a long time, and then the door creaked.

Bian Zhi's voice sounded on the other end, very deep, very cold, with a strange alienation from Gu Yuan Yining.

Bian Zhi said: "I'm sorry Aunt Yuan, don't wait anymore, I won't go back."

After speaking.

The phone hangs up.

Yuan Yining called again, but the call could no longer be reached.
