Time passed like flowing water, and seven days had passed in the blink of an eye. In three days, Chu Zeming and others would have to set off, otherwise they would miss the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the 21st century, Meixiang is still watching the movie between a woman and a man. She cannot stay too far away from the woman. She can only follow her silently, watching her various entanglements and struggles. Meixiang's heart is also in turmoil, and she is at a loss.

During this period, the boy and the girl asked the woman what she thought more than once. As far as they were concerned, they would support the woman no matter what choice she made.

"Mom, you don't have to think too much about other things, and don't worry about me and my sister. No matter what choice you make, we will support you unconditionally. Our only hope is that you can be happy." The boy looked at his undecided mother and persuaded her.

The girl also nodded, "Yes, Mom, my brother and I just want you to be happy. After all, we can't be with you every day now, and we are afraid that you will be lonely."

The woman looked at her two children in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but become wet. She had a strong character since she was a child, so she couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes. So after that incident, she was determined to divorce the man regardless of anything. Then she turned her grief into motivation and devoted all her time and energy to her career.

This inexplicable and sudden illness not only frightened the siblings, but also made her think deeply about what she wanted in her life. Money? Fame? Profit? Or something else?

She saw herself now through her daughter's eyes. All these things only made her heart more closed and the expression on her face more cold. There was nothing else.

As she got older, she found that this was not the life she wanted. So what kind of life did she want? Looking out the window at the car parked downstairs, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and the past scenes kept flashing before her eyes.

The brother and sister looked at their mother in deep thought and said nothing more. They knew that some things could not be rushed, and they understood that haste makes waste. The reason why they brought their father and mother together was because they saw that they still had feelings for each other, their father had not made any substantial mistakes, and their mother still missed him.

As a child, we simply hope that our mother can be happy in her later years without any regrets.

Things soon took a turn for the better. It rained heavily outside that day, with gusts of wind from time to time. The window of the car downstairs that refused to leave had to be rolled up.

This made the woman who was standing behind the curtain and watching secretly feel anxious. It was easy for people to suffocate due to lack of itchiness in the enclosed space and have accidents. The woman turned around and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table. Without thinking, she dialed the number that she knew by heart, and stopped at the moment her finger pressed the dial button.

He turned off his phone and threw it on the bed. He went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of warm water. Only then did he calm down his anxious heart. He lifted the quilt and lay on the bed to prepare for sleep.

But I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned, my mind was filled with images of the man meeting with misfortune.

"What if he couldn't stand the wind and rain today and left?" the woman thought silently in her heart. She stood up and walked to the window and looked down. She was expecting that he had left, but also hoped that he was still there.

Sure enough, the car was still there, and the windows were closed tightly as before.

The woman suddenly felt inexplicably angry. She grabbed the mobile phone thrown on the bed and pressed the 11-digit phone number plus the dial button in one go without any pause.

The phone was connected immediately, as if it had been waiting for her to call.

"Hey, has something happened to Xiang'er?" The man's anxious tone with deep worry reached the woman's ears.

"What can happen to me? Are you stupid? Don't you see the strong wind and rain? And you closed the car window so tightly. Don't you want to live?" The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard the man's caring voice, and then yelled even more angrily.

The man heard the woman's efforts to conceal her concern and chuckled. His soft voice came over: "Xiang'er, I'm worried about you. You have been timid since you were a child, especially on rainy and windy days. What if something happens to you and you can't come in time? I must wait for you where you can see me at a glance."

There was no more talking in the phone's microphone, only the breathing sounds of two people continued to come through, indicating that the phone was not disconnected and the call was still going on.

"Xiang'er, are you still listening?" Finally the man couldn't bear it anymore, and the voice came again.

Just when the man thought the call was about to be hung up, the woman's voice came over: "Yeah, still on." The woman paused and hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply as if she had made up her mind, and then said: "Don't get in the car tonight, either go back to where you live or come upstairs."

As if he had heard it wrong, the man repeated, "Ah? Go upstairs?"

"Ah, what? You don't want to come up and take it! You can do whatever you want! Humph!" The woman said in a low voice with some annoyance, then hung up the phone resolutely.

In less than three minutes, there was a knock on the door.

The woman hesitated for a moment, but still got up and opened the door. She looked at the man dripping wet, but the smile on his face was blindingly cruel.

"You're so old, but you don't even know how to hold an umbrella? Do you want to get sick or something? Huh?" She complained while handing a pair of slippers to the man.

The man listened to the woman's complaints and laughed. He changed his slippers and quietly looked around the woman's house. It was a one-bedroom house, not big but clean and tidy. Suddenly, he felt a sense of fear in his heart, and he couldn't help but stop.

The woman came out of the bedroom with a set of clothes in her hand. Seeing the man still standing at the door stupidly, she couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you come in? We don't have pajamas for you. Wear your son's for one night."

"Suddenly I can't believe this is true. Do you know that I have been waiting for you to say this for five years? For five years, I have been fantasizing about today's scene every moment, but when it is really in front of me, why can't I believe it is true?" As he spoke, the man's eyes became red and his voice choked.

"Xiang'er, you, you tell me this is real, it's real. I'm not dreaming, am I?"

The woman's eyes couldn't help but turn red. She walked up to the man, raised her right hand and stroked the man's cheek where two teeth were missing.
