deceased into ashes

On the day I was discharged from the hospital, it was not long before the Chinese New Year.The sky was drizzling, and the inpatient department of the hospital had a little red joyful atmosphere, which was really rare.

It was afternoon when Yan Min came to pick her up, and the rain in the afternoon turned into a drizzle, as mild as the occasional light snow in the north.

The streets were decorated with lights and festoons, as if an ink jar had been overturned in the evening, the lights underneath added a lot of warmth to the night in the southern country.

Yan Min was driving the car, seeing Zhou Qianyi looking out like a child, she smiled knowingly, and asked, "Does Qianyi want to go to the city center?"

"It's very lively over there." Zhou Qianyi also smiled, and the street lights shone into the car, drawing warm lines on Zhou Qianyi's face.

"Let's go together during the New Year's Eve." Yan Min turned the car and turned a corner: "Nuomi has been looking for you at home these days, but I can't find you. Recently, I've been rubbing against your clothes."

There are fireworks in the distance, and the gorgeous fireworks in a small area bloom at the same time. The moment the sparks burst, the fireworks are extinguished.

One after another, the fireworks leaped up, and there were children laughing in the distance. The cold wind was mild, and the adults on the side of the road held their partners' hands and went home laughing with New Year's goods.

"That's great..." Zhou Qianyi leaned against the car window and gently closed her eyes.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Zhou Qianyi only carried a small bag of things, and Yan Min was afraid that she would be tired, so he carried more things and walked behind.

There is a couplet hanging at the door, and there is a cat pattern on the couplet, which is prosperous and cute.

Zhou Qianyi burst out laughing, Yan Min walked over from behind, and asked softly, "Do you like it?"

"It's so cute." Zhou Qianyi felt the warmth of home during the Chinese New Year at this moment.

In the past, she and Yu Qingyue were together during Chinese New Years. In the past two years, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Yu Qingyue said that she was going to have a party and was not at home, Zhou Qianyi would just sit on the sofa and watch series.

At that time, all houses were brightly lit.

She turned off the lights in the house, and watched the heroine in the series cry pear blossoms with rain, and the hero embraced her in his arms.

Zhou Qianyi waited with folded arms, and saw that the house far away was celebrating the New Year, and the whole building was almost full of lights.

People laughed and laughed.

At that time, she even felt that this small room was the only one in the world that was dark and lonely.

Yu Qingyue also had someone waiting for her to go home, but Zhou Qianyi didn't.

No one seemed to look forward to her arrival or regret her departure.

It's different now.

Zhou Qianyi entered the door and saw Nuomi in the hall licking fur on the sofa, and started meowing when she saw her rushing over.

"It misses you too." Yan Min put the things away, then took the bag from Zhou Qianyi's hand: "Look at it sticking to you now."

"Really?" Zhou Qianyi picked up Nuomi, stroked Nuomi's hair, and said, "Is little Nuomi being mischievous again?"

"You discovered all of this," Yan Min shook his head helplessly and said, "During your hospitalization, it always liked to run outside, and sometimes came back from fighting outside. The last time I took it out, I met Alaska from the same community. , the hairs stand up."

"Haha, isn't it, our little Nuomi is so naughty." Nuomi leaned on Zhou Qianyi's shoulder, as if obediently letting others slaughter her.

"Sister Yan...Actually, I've always wanted to tell you something." Zhou Qianyi put down Nuomi, who was just on the ground staring blankly at her.

"Maybe it's like I'm deceiving you. After thinking about it for a long time, I still want to tell you the truth."

"Well," Yan Min seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and was still as gentle as usual, "It's okay, you can continue talking."

"I don't seem to have the throbbing with Qingyue before, but I really regard you as a bosom friend. Besides, I don't have much time now..."

"It's ok."

Zhou Qianyi was slightly taken aback: "What?"

Yan Min came over, pulled Zhou Qianyi to sit on the sofa, and brought her a glass of warm water before continuing:

"First of all, I don't like that the relationship between us will be messy and unclear. Instead, it's best to sort it out now. You treat me as a confidant, and I'm very satisfied."

"Secondly, you don't have to feel indebted. If you say indebted, you really don't owe me much. Yu Qingyue owes you so much, and you don't care about it. Normal people don't care about the person they like."

"Finally, Qianyi, you have to believe that you will be happy in the rest of the time, and I will be with you, always by your side... Even if you have to leave and choose the way of death, I will do the same Support your decision, but don't hurt your true heart any more."

There were tears in Zhou Qianyi's eyes, she put down the glass, hugged Yan Min who was close at hand, and cried so frankly for the first time.

"Yan...Yan Min, I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Yan Min panicked as Zhou Qianyi cried.

"Qianyi, it's okay, it's fine like this." Yan Min patted her on the back: "Don't worry, I will protect you, and you can spend the rest of the time with peace of mind. With me or with Yu Qingyue , it's all your choice."

Zhou Qianyi was still crying while holding Yan Min, she didn't want to let go, as if she wanted to cry all the grievances of these years.

When I was young, my mother said that good children can only eat sweets if they don’t cry. Later, I realized that people who cry are often loved and cared, so they dare to cry unscrupulously.

Zhou Qianyi never dared.

In her eyes, crying is an expensive luxury.

Yan Min stroked her short hair, and said like coaxing a child, "Okay, if you think you can be happy, you can cry for a while, and if you are tired, you can rest. If you don't want to rest, I will accompany you. Didn't we agree... If in the next life We are together by fate."

"In this life, I have been preempted by others. I have been sincere for too long and it has become a habit. I understand it. There is no need to feel guilty. Feelings cannot be forced, and I don't like twisted melons." Yan Min hugged Zhou Qianyi like this, and Zhou Qianyi cried After a while, she unconsciously fell asleep in Yan Min's arms.

Yan Min really felt that sometimes Zhou Qianyi was like a little kitten, who was obviously scared but still stubborn.

She carried her to lie on her side, took off her coat, turned on the heater, covered her with the quilt, turned off the light, and gently closed the door.

There was an incoming call on Zhou Qianyi's cell phone.

Yan Min walked over, it was Yu Qingyue's call.

Yan Min hesitated for a while, but still took it.

"Hey?"

"Sister Zhou?" There was an unfamiliar voice on the opposite side, obviously not Yu Qingyue.

"you are?"

"Aren't you sister Zhou? Is sister Zhou resting?"

"Yes." Yan Min felt inexplicably ironic when he heard this man talking about Sister Zhou.

"Then please tell Sister Zhou that I have something I want to give to Sister Zhou." The other party smiled slightly and said, "Sister Zhou will definitely want to see it."

"Who are you?" Yan Min was very puzzled now why someone else would use Qingyue's number.

"I'm Chen Xi, Yu Qingyue's...assistant. Sister Zhou knows me. Please tell me, thank you. I'll meet you at the east intersection of Yuqiong Road at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." A different taste.

"Okay, thank you." Yan Min hung up the phone.

The situation was not quite right... Yan Min looked at the glutinous rice staring at her on the ground, she squatted down and picked it up and said, "Let's go, let's eat some snacks."

Tomorrow is a must.
