Weird mail from my house

Everyone had a great time that day. After watching the fireworks, the group moved to [Ye'an] again. I watched the bartender brother's face change from slight to rigid.We didn't disperse until the sky was slightly white, and the children didn't expect to stay with us until dawn.

When I got home early in the morning, on the first day of the new year, I actually received a letter from Shuyi, which was a surprise. Looking back carefully, his mail for every program was delivered on time.

He said, "Happy New Year, Xueqiu was not found, and you are not around. The memories that belonged to you seem to be losing a little bit, and I feel a little lonely for no reason."This year I went home to spend the New Year with my mother, watching her hair grow, I feel a little sour for no reason, people will still get old, in the new year, I hope that the people I love and the people who love me will be by my side, don’t be separated again, okay?Xiao Yuan? ]

I stared at his sentence "The memories belonging to you seem to be disappearing little by little" for a long time, and I couldn't imagine what kind of despair that feeling was.

I rubbed the word Shuyi lightly, and it was not easy for him.

This kind of emotion spread throughout the holiday, and it had nothing to do with me, but I couldn't be happy.Fortunately, I have a little milk cat by my side.

I lifted up the little milk cat, "Snow cake, will you leave me?"

The little milk cat stared at me cutely with a pair of bright cat eyes, and called softly, "Meow~"

I stared at it for a long time before I put it down. I'm so stupid, how could I ask a cat this question?

I sat back at the easel, lifted my pen, and started my first day of work.

Even on vacation, I can't put down my paintbrush. If I don't paint for a day, I will become rusty.

Generally, I don't think about what to draw before drawing. I don't know what I want to draw until I sit in front of the drawing board and write.

I was a little surprised when I finished the sketch today.

My canvas is a cat, a white, adult cat.

Looking down at the white figure curled up and sleeping at my feet, I clearly drew this little milk cat, how could it be an adult cat?

It's kind of... like—I think of that picture of Snowball that I saw once.

I chuckled, what's the matter?

I put down the brush and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside the window.

Here you can clearly see the courtyard below and the gate where the mailbox hangs.

There was still snow in the yard, and the street outside the small building was empty, with almost no one coming and going. I stared at this shadow for a long time, only to see a person walking from a distance, wearing dark clothes. The black coat is not too thick. Looking at him from a distance, he has a well-proportioned figure, just like a model.

Looking at him, I feel as if I haven't drawn people for a long time. After I came here, I either painted landscapes, animals and plants, or lively scenes like Christmas Day.Looking at his posture, I couldn't help but want to draw characters.

I went back to find a sketchbook, but saw that the ice cream that had been sticking to me was sitting on the ground and raised her head to stare at the picture of the white cat that I just finished, with an indescribably serious look.

It's really...cute.

While holding the sketchbook, I directly took down the drawing, and it was a bit difficult for Ice Cream to look up like that.

The ice cream seemed to be happily yelling "meow meow" at me.

It seems that it really likes this picture.

When I went back to the window, the man was getting closer and closer. I quickly picked up the pen and quickly sketched his appearance.

I saw him walking all the way, walking steadily to the mailbox in front of my house, raised his hand, and sent a white mail...

I froze for a moment, and rushed forward without thinking about anything, my heart beating fast.

My mailbox at home hardly receives anything other than those letters!

That person, that person!

I pushed open the gate and didn't even bother to change my shoes. I ran out to give birth in big strides. The road in the yard was a bit muddy due to the snow, which made me almost slip, but I couldn't care about these either.

Panting, I ran to the door and opened it.

That person, could that be Shuyi?

I'm kind of looking forward to and a little bit afraid that I'm going to tell him that he's been sending it to the wrong place?Shall I tell him that I opened his letter?If he asked, how should I answer?if--

The door opened—

The door was empty.

I was a little startled, I rushed to the road and looked at the roads extending to the left and right, it was empty and there was no one there.

I was at a loss, how could it be - there was no one, I clearly saw it, how could there be no one when I came down from upstairs for less than 1 minute!

"Shu Yi..." I murmured softly.

Is it my phantom?

I lowered my head somewhat disappointed, but looked at the shoe prints that did not belong to me and were still clearly printed in the mud, all the way to the mailbox.

My heart was pounding, I went to the mailbox, opened it, and saw the white mail lying inside.

With trembling fingers, he reached out and took out the letter.

Recipient: Zhou Yuan

Sender: Shuyi

You know, did you send it to the wrong address?tree one.

There was a sudden blur in front of his eyes, and he felt a coolness on his face, as soon as he touched the envelope, drops of water fell on it.

I was startled, blinked, touched my face, felt wet, am I crying?

I walked home in a daze, wearing cotton mop when I came out, and my shoes on my feet were soaked when I came back, so I took off my shoes at the entrance, and walked barefoot on the wooden floor, even if I was indoors, But the cold touch still made my heart tremble.

[Don't go barefoot all the time, it's easy to get sick, put on your socks! ]

Shuyi's words appeared in my mind without warning.

I seemed to be frozen.

It took me a while to come back to my senses, I shook my head, what happened to me?

I went out with the ice cream in my arms. Today I went to [Only Soup], and I was still the only one in the store during the day.

I remember what the female shopkeeper said before, I only drank two bowls and stopped.

The hostess sat in front of me, seeming to have a conversation.

After eating a few meals with a group of them, they became familiar with each other naturally.

These days, when I walk by, I still meet the subordinates of the mayor, but they all seem to be in a hurry, and they will say hello to me when they see me.

Strange, why did I have no impression of seeing them on the road before?On the contrary, the chances of encountering them on the road increased after eating a few times. Maybe... it's just that I didn't know them before, so I ignored them, right?

And that pair of twin siblings, I have also met several times, but only one person each time.

"What seems to be on your mind recently?" The female shopkeeper's voice was pleasant, gentle like water, but not too sweet.

"I..." Before the words came out, the door was slammed open with force.

"Mother-in-law! I'm here to drink soup again!" The young man's energetic voice rang out.

Hearing this voice, he felt inexplicably lighthearted, it was the Huya boy.

"Go, go, I don't want to do your business!" The female shopkeeper waved at him with one hand propped on her forehead and the other.

It seems that except for the owner of many chickens, the owners of other shops are very troubled by this Huya boy.

"Excuse me," the black suit appeared behind the boy.

The female shopkeeper seemed to be in a better mood after seeing her, "So you're here too."

"Mother-in-law is really eccentric," the Huya boy walked into the store muttering, and when he saw me, he rushed over with bright eyes, "Mr. Drawing Board, you are here, I will invite you today."

The black suit walked behind and said, "Didn't you just spend all your money?"

"Please." The Huya boy said confidently.

I:……

For the sake of familiarity, the two sat at the same table with me. The Huya boy ordered the Sanshen soup, and the black suit ordered the Sansha soup that the boy ordered last time.

"Your friend's cat got lost?" Huya boy repeated my words while teasing the ice cream in his arms, and the ice cream let out a "meow~" in his arms.

Somehow I chatted with them about it.

"Well, it seems that I have never found it."

"Then isn't it too playful?" Huya boy continued to tease the cat, and the ice cream gave him a paw, but fortunately, the paw was not good, just like playing with him.

"It seems that I usually like to stay at home." I recalled what Shuyi once said in a letter.

"He is already old." The black suit said lightly.

I think about it and nod my head. "I have raised it for ten years...more than."

"That's pretty old, too," said the black suit.

"I want to be an old man who is 70 or [-] years old." The tiger-toothed boy laughed and raised the ice cream above his head, "Old man, old man!"

Ice Cream struggled in the air and screamed "meow meow".

Some want to snatch it back, what's going on?

"Don't mess with it," the black suit directly hugged the ice cream, stroking its white fur in his arms, and the ice cream was still being stroked by him obediently, "the cat is spiritual, when it knows that its life is approaching , will find a place to hide and wait to die.”

Ice Cream raised her head there, said "meow~" and buried her little head in his arms.

"So, your friend's cat may have died." The black suit said calmly.

"Do all cats behave like this?"

"Most of them will." The female shopkeeper sat down on the chair next to her at some point.

Saying goodbye to them, I walked slowly on the way back, with the ice cream rolled in my arms, and the gentle warmth from my small body.It has only been with me for a short period of time, but I feel that I can't live without it.

The first thing I see when I wake up every day is to see its cute appearance lying next to my pillow. A pair of amber cat eyes are clear and bright. Every time I wake up, it will "meow~" at me With a sound, as if saying good morning, it began to follow for a day, just like my tail.

If one day, it leaves suddenly like a snowball, I think I will be very sad.

I stared at the ice cream and scratched its little head, "Will you?" Will you disappear suddenly?

Ice Cream raised her head and softly said "meow~" to me.

Smile, are you responding to me?

[The familiar memories of Xiaoyuan and me are slowly disappearing...]

I lower my eyelids slightly.

The author has something to say: I suddenly thought of a sentence: Love does not know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live.
