as yesterday

He Yu was actually quite tired all day long. In the evening, He Yu ate a mouthful of food and drank a lot of wine. He felt dizzy, so he said to Liu Ci, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Liu Ci: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

He Yu: "It's okay, you can take a break too."

The wind at night was quite comfortable, and the open-air banquet looked extraordinarily romantic under the lights, He Yu went to the bathroom slowly.

It's so big here, it takes several minutes to walk.

Thinking about getting married is annoying, sleepy, and weak.

On the way, I also met a few children holding rabbit balloons playing around. The balloons are quite beautiful, and there are star lights inside.

When He Yu passed by, he said, "Don't run too far, it's dark ahead."

Among these children was Liu Yuansheng's son, who hummed and asked He Yu, "Auntie, where are you going?"

He Yu: "Go to the toilet."

There are quite a lot of children, and He Yu didn't recognize them all.

It was too early in the morning, she didn't eat anything all day, and she drank a lot of wine in the evening. She felt that her feet were weak when she walked, and she yawned several times when she came back.

Before walking halfway, she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Aunt He Yu!"

The child's voice was still a little anxious, He Yu glanced at it, and the little boy with the crew cut grabbed her by the clothes, "My sister fell into the water."

He Yu let out a cry, and glanced at it. The lighted balloon was floating on the lake in the distance. The location was quite out of the way, the light was not very bright, and a few children were still holding the balloon and standing aside.

He Yu suddenly woke up and ran away.

The high heels were kicked by her, and the cry of the child came, and she didn't care about anything else, she jumped into the water and swam to the floating balloon.

……

Liu Ci was sitting in the banquet chatting with people, the temperature was a little cold at night, but it wasn't too cold outside, and she was a little dizzy after drinking half of the champagne in the goblet.

Jin Jia, who was sitting on the side, asked her, "Are you all right?"

Liu Ci waved his hand, "I just feel a little headache."

There was a faint cry coming from a distance, and the voice of chatting here was not small, and it was suppressed in one fell swoop.

Liu Ci always felt that something was wrong, He Yu had been going to the bathroom for too long, and he didn't bring his mobile phone, which was left on the table.

After a while, she still couldn't sit still, her temples were throbbing violently, and just as she stood up, a child bumped into her.

He bumped into Liu Yuansheng's back. As soon as Liu Yuansheng turned around, he heard Liu sobbing, "Father... He, Aunt He Yu are still in the water..."

Liu Yuansheng didn't understand what it meant: "What did you say? Why are you so disgraced?"

The lights here are bright, and it is clear that there are grass clippings on the children's faces, and a few children are running behind. The balloons can't care about it, and a wet little girl is being pulled, still crying.

The atmosphere was disturbed, Liu Ci asked: "Where do you think He Yu is?"

She stood up, flustered, and even her eyelids started to twitch.There is water in this manor, one is a small pond, just beside the long table, and there is an artificial lake, which is a little far away.

It's close to the hall, but He Yu doesn't have to pass there to go to the bathroom.

She glanced over there, too far away, a spot of light was floating on the calm lake.

Liu Ci lifted her legs and ran, the high heels were too obstructive, she almost fell down, Jin Jia helped her, they ran together, and the people present also followed.

The child's crying became louder and louder, and when the parents asked what was going on, the balloon swaying in the night wind floated on the lake, and there was no sign of He Yu at all.

Liu Ci called her: "He Yu, He Yu, He Yu!—"

She was frightened to death, trembling all over, the fence by the lake was uneven, but it was also tied with flickering lights, which looked very beautiful.

Jin Jia stopped Liu Ci: "Maybe it's a mistake."

Liu Ci shook off her hand, and Liu Shengsheng was pulled by Liu Yuansheng. The little boy's face was full of tears, and he cried, "Xiaoxiao was playing with us with balloons. Her balloon fell off and was blown by the wind, and she floated to the lake. inside……"

Children like balloons very much, and the doll session was full of joy. The little girl was the niece of one of He Yu's friends. At this time, she was soaking wet and crying tremblingly.

A group of people gathered around the calm lake.

Liu Ci rushed into the lake, but Jin Jia couldn't hold her back, because she followed up and found that the lake was very deep, and within a few steps of Liu Ci, the lake was below her knees.

When security came over, someone jumped into the water to find someone, but Liu Ci couldn't cry, his eyes were swollen and hurt, and he called He Yu over and over again.

But no one agreed to her, the wind was frozen by this atmosphere, and the wind stopped.

……

When He Yu was brought up, he was drenched, his eyes were closed, and there was another burst of rescue. The ambulance came with a piercing sound, and took He Yu, Liu Ci, and Hong Lanwen away.

No one expected this to happen.

Liu Ci never thought that this would happen.

When picking this day, He Yu said this: "October is pretty good. It's golden autumn, but it's actually quite hot. Winter is too cold. It's just right."

"And the day we meet again will be October."

She narrowed her eyes with a smile, and asked Liu Ci: "Is this not good?"

Liu Ci didn't care about the day at all, he just thought it would be good to be together.

He Yu leaned over, "That's the day."

Liu Ci hummed.

In the morning, Liu Ci thought, this day is very good, the heavy rain clears up, and the weather is beautiful, which also means that you and I are a match made in heaven.

Now she was cold all over, and she just felt that this day was not good at all. First, the heavy rain hit the city, then the cold wind never stopped, and the people who appeared again were like ghosts, just waiting to devour He Yu's already crumbling soul.

He Yu's hands were so cold that Liu Ci's mind went blank. Hong Lanwen's cry was not like her usual loud voice, but a low whine.

They are He Yu's closest relatives, and logically speaking, they should have a happy life, at least when they are interviewed on the street, "Are you happy?"

Why didn't you even have this chance?

Liu Ci still held on to He Yu's hand, the instrument was taken away, He Yu's hair was wet, and there were water spots on the pillow.

The emergency room was very noisy, and a curtain couldn't hold back all the grief in the world. Hong Lanwen lay on He Yu's body, cursing at her, crying and cursing at the same time, just like when she scolded He Yu for spending the tuition money to buy comic books .

But no one would walk away with a smiley face and say, Mom, don't be angry.

Liu Ci held that hand, the cold touch almost pierced her heart.

A kind of desperation came up from the limbs, and almost dragged her into the bottom of the lake. The water and plants were entangled, and someone was floating in the middle. The fire still came, many years late, and burned people in the form of water.

The fire made Liu Ci's eyes darken, and he also fell down.

……

This winter has been particularly cold. The snow disaster ten years ago has returned. It is the first time that the south has had such a menacing snow.

The deep winter in the nursing home was even more deserted. Shen Youqian drove over. Jin Jiaxie undid the seat belt in the co-pilot for a long time, and Shen Yougan stretched out his hand before letting go.

"what happened."

Jin Jia sighed, she got out of the car, stepped on the snow, it was too cold outside, she gathered her coat.

The first time I came to this place, the mountain roads were full of snow, even if someone shoveled the snow, it would still be slippery.

Shen Youqian came over with a cake, and the girl registered at the medical guidance desk hurriedly locked the phone screen when she saw someone coming, and asked if you came to visit your family.

Shen You lost a lot of weight, and his face was not so round, he nodded, "I'm here to find Lian Xiaoli, I remember she was in the intensive care unit before."

"Lian... Lian Xiaoli?"

Shen Youqian looked at her suddenly widening eyes, "What's wrong?"

"This patient has already been discharged from the hospital."

Shen You made a fuss, and after a few more questions, she found out that Lian Xiaoli had been transferred by her father, and he and Jin Jia went to another nursing home according to the transfer record.

Changed to one in the urban area, the conditions are very good, it can be seen that Lian Xiaoli's father's conditions are even better.

Lian Xiaoli's father was also there when Shen Youqian found the ward. The man had gray hair on his sideburns and looked a bit old, but his clothes were quite different from before, and he looked like a successful man.

The wife standing next to her is very young, she is full of jewels, and she is holding a little boy.

Shen Youqian called Uncle, and the other party was also very polite, and they chatted for a while.

"Winter solstice, let me come and see Xiaoli."

"You have a heart too, are you okay? You children."

The other party also remembered the few children in Yanxinglong Lane back then, and of course they still cared about Lian Xiaoli's daughter, but a new family has been formed, and the old one has passed away, so there is nothing worth remembering.

It's easy to buy something that you can rest assured by spending a little money. In this world, money can still do things.

"...It's, it's okay."

Shen Youqian showed a smile uglier than crying, "He Yu is gone."

These five words were spoken so smoothly that the man in front of him was startled. After a while, he said, "How could that child...I said why I can't get in touch."

Shen You smiled wryly, "God is cruel, I drowned."

No one expected this to happen. He Yu walked too fast and in a hurry, and even the occasion was disappointing. A happy event ended in a funeral, and everyone trembled.

But that was indeed something He Yu would do. She was a kind person in the first place, so she didn't even think of it.

All the mages invited to the funeral said so.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, such a person who never tried every means to die died earlier than anyone else.

Liu Ci couldn't bear such a blow, he was in a daze after coma, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Everyone looked at her, fearing that she would be overwhelmed and followed.

"He Yu has always cared about Xiaoli very much. She is not here anymore. Seeing Xiaoli, I will come too."

Shen Yougan sighed, "Xiao, Xiaoli, are you alright?"

The two men stood and talked, and Jin Jia said a few words to Lian Xiaoli's stepmother.

The woman didn't look much older than Jin Jia, and she spoke very politely.

"Recently, my husband found two nurses for her, who took care of her in shifts and were considerate."

Jin Jia snorted, and she saw the people inside through the glass window.

A woman with long black hair was sitting on the hospital bed, and a young man with short hair was sitting beside him, peeling an apple. Lian Xiaoli stared at her intently.

With just a quick glance, Jin Jia felt that the short-haired young man looked familiar.

Somewhat like...

But the age is wrong, it looks like he is only in his 20s, and looking at it again, it is not the feeling at all.

The parents left first, Shen Yougan knocked on the door, Lian Xiaoli bit an apple, and watched the door open.

"Hello."

Xiaonian smiled brightly, "Are you sister Xiaoli's friend?"

Shen Yougan was dazzled by the brilliant white teeth, and felt as if he saw his good friend for a moment, but when he was looking, it didn't feel that way.

"Are you a nurse? Are you still in school at such a young age?"

The other party shook his head, "I've only been working part-time, and I haven't even finished high school."

With a little northern accent.

"Xiaoli, do you remember me?"

Shen Youqian walked over, and the woman on the bed shook her head holding the apple.

Her eyes were hazy, as if she was living in a dream where nothing happened.

After eating a few bites of an apple, I didn't want it anymore, and threw it to the nurse named Qian Mei, who was angry like a child, "It's not good."

Qian Mei hummed, "Then shall we have a drink first?"

She must have been here for a while, and the caregiver is extremely skilled, young and terribly mature.

Shen Yougan stayed for a while, then left with Jin Jia.

On the night of the winter solstice, there is heavy snowfall, and Christmas will be in a few days.Obviously last Christmas, He Yu was still joking with them on WeChat, saying that we should spend Christmas together next year.

But there is no future.

So far, so far.

Shen Yougan held his wife's shoulders, held up the umbrella, and said let's go.

"Going to Liu's house for the winter solstice, the child should be waiting impatiently."
