Flowers bloom in the spring breeze

Zhu Mudan appeared in the rose garden wearing a trench coat and a scarf, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.It's still early, but it seems that someone came earlier than Zhu Mudan. There was already a bouquet of flowers in front of Zhu Linglong's tombstone, a bouquet of tacky red carnations. Zhu Mudan knew who it was without even thinking about it. Hurry up Go up and pick up the carnations and throw them into the trash can next to them, and put the flowers I bought next to the tombstone.

"Mom, it's Chinese New Year today." While talking, Zhu Mudan sat down leaning against the tombstone, picked up the thermos that she carried with her, poured a cup of hot tea and put it aside, "It feels like nothing has changed, and yet everything has changed."

Song Chengyu knew that Zhu Mudan would come, so he came early. Looking at the photo of his dead wife on the tombstone, Song Chengyu shed tears for the first time.The phone in his hand vibrated, and it was a text message from his driver, "I have seen the lady's car coming."Song Chengyu wiped away his tears, and hid in an inconspicuous corner.

Seeing the flowers he sent being thrown into the trash can, Song Chengyu didn't feel much anger. Looking at the bouquet Zhu Mudan put down, Song Chengyu realized that he didn't know what flowers his wife liked after being married for so long.But the current wife knows what she likes, eats, drinks, and Lazard Song Chengyu.

Zhu Mudan talked for a long time, so long that Song Chengyu felt that his two legs were numb.It's just that Song Chengyu didn't leave, and stood there quietly, looking at his daughter and his dead wife, the picture was unreasonably harmonious, even on such a day and in such an environment.

"Mom, today I wrapped your favorite wonton and cooked a big pot of chicken soup. But I was the only one who ate it alone. Nuan Chen got married, and we won't come here together in the future. Obviously this is me. The expected result, why am I so sad? I keep reminding myself not to get too involved, feelings are not a game after all, and I get caught in it unconsciously but I don’t know it yet.”

Cheng Nuanchen didn't expect to say such words from Zhu Mudan's mouth. It turned out that she didn't love her, but she didn't dare to express her feelings.What would happen if Zhu Mudan was brave enough?No one can predict the future.

"peony……"

The familiar voice was the same as before, Zhu Mudan couldn't believe it.

The black knee-covering down jacket is so clean that one would doubt that today is New Year's Eve.

"Why did you come here?"

Cheng Nuanchen didn't reply to Zhu Mudan's words, put down the lunch box in his hand, and spread it in front of the tombstone.In the past when they were happy, Cheng Nuanchen would accompany Zhu Mudan here every New Year's Eve to pay respects to her dead mother, but this year he broke up with Zhu Mudan, and he never saw her except on the wedding day.

"How are you?" Cheng Nuanchen knelt down, looked at Zhu Mudan who had lost a lot of weight again, felt sorry for her but couldn't express it.

Zhu Mudan reached out and rubbed Cheng Nuanchen's hair, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "I'm fine, how about you, is he treating you well?"

Cheng Nuanchen nodded, but tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? Those who celebrate Chinese New Year can't cry..."

As the cold fingertips brushed Nuan Chen's cheek, Zhu Mudan seemed to have a hallucination of another life.This scene overlapped with many years ago, making Zhu Mudan unable to distinguish the present from the past.

It's almost time, Cheng Nuanchen thought about her husband waiting outside the cemetery, if she hadn't insisted on today, no one would want to come to such a place to seek bad luck.

"I'm leaving..." Cheng Nuanchen said with difficulty, seeing Zhu Mudan's appearance, she wanted to stay with her, just like every year today.

"Go!" Zhu Mudan is an exquisite person, with just one look, she can understand that Cheng Nuanchen is not alone, "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, don't come again in the future. Just because you are not taboo doesn't mean others don't. My mother Izumi will be very happy if you know. Let's live a good life!"

Cheng Nuanchen's back became farther and farther away, Zhu Mudan stood up from the ground, bowed three times towards the tombstone, "Mom, I'm leaving, I'll see you again in a few days."

Song Chengyu watched Zhu Mudan leave, raised his hand to look at his watch, and realized that he had been standing here for five hours.Although he used to come from a bitter background, he is no longer the boy who can walk dozens of miles of mountain roads just to study in the city.On weekdays, cars are used to get in and out, and even the elevators are dedicated.Going out for a meal is either booked by the secretary long ago, or there is a fixed seat in the hotel.Let alone standing for five hours, he would get angry even for five minutes.A businessman's time is money.

It gets dark early in winter, and today is New Year's Eve, so there are only sparse cars running on the streets that should be congested at this point.Today is one of the few rest days of Qing Bar throughout the year, Zhu Mudan's car drove to the door of Qing Bar, and she remembered this when she saw the locked gate.

On such a day of family reunion, Zhu Mudan sadly found that she had nowhere to go, but luckily she still had the key to clear the bar.

The empty bar was so quiet that people could hear the sound of her own blood flowing. Zhu Mudan turned on the main power switch, and the sudden lighting of the lights made her unable to keep her eyes open.

The unpopular bar is so strange, as if it has never been here before.On the bar counter, there were cans of Coca-Cola placed there, Zhu Mudan curled up her mouth, she was always so thoughtful, did she guess that she would come here tonight.

The phone kept vibrating in the pocket of the windbreaker, "Hello" voices came from the other end of the phone, Zhu Mudan knew that today was the Song family's party night, and she had attended it before.

"You're at the bar." Song Yanxi heard the quiet voice on the other end, thinking about where Zhu Mudan can go, it's clear.

"at home."

"nonsense……"

"I sometimes wonder if you installed a GPS on me." Zhu Mudan opened a can of Coke, and the bang made Song Yanxi more sure of her guess.

"Actually, you can..."

"Bye"

Song Yanxi's words were abruptly interrupted by a "beep", looking at the hung up call, Song Yanxi knew that he had hit Zhu Mudan's death spot.

"Who are you calling?" Song Yanxi's elder brother came over and saw his younger sister staring at the phone in a daze for a long time, not knowing what happened.

Song Yanxi forced a smile, "For business, let's go, toast them..." Let's go and leave his brother and walk towards the crowd alone.

Song Yanwen helplessly shook his head in the back, he would not know who to call, but he just didn't want his sister to be so deeply involved.

Song Yanxi has been very kind to Zhu Mudan since she was a child. Zhu Mudan didn't like to talk when she was a child. In the family gatherings, her peers would gather together to chat and laugh. Only Zhu Mudan always stayed elsewhere every time.

Song Yanxi always tried his best to make Zhu Mudan blend in with them, but always got Zhu Mudan's cynicism.Everyone thought that Miss Qianjin's Song Yanxi would no longer associate with Zhu Mudan.But I don't know if it's a rebellious psychology, but Song Yanxi always surrounds Zhu Mudan.

Until Song Chengyu remarried later, Zhu Mudan stopped attending their parties, but Song Yanxi would always call Zhu Mudan.Song Yanwen didn't know the content of their conversation, but he knew that his sister must have been wronged.

But Song Yanxi doesn't seem to care about these grievances, for graduating from a famous foreign university to work as a manager in Zhu Mudan's dilapidated bar is more than an overqualification.
