fall in love by chance

Living together with Zhou Yan for four months, Liang Ruixi almost forgot to find out where the fragrance of jasmine came from, until he discovered this secret unexpectedly...

It turns out that the fragrance seeps from the soap to the surface of the carton, through the bed board, to the pillows, bedding, and even to the entire room.

The cartons were not sealed, and the lids were loosely concealed. Liang Ruixi flipped through two of them, feeling both shocked and puzzled.Because the packaging of these soaps is very familiar to him, it is not the kind of floral paper with a trademark printed on it sold in supermarkets, but hand-torn kraft paper without words and colors, and sealed with masking paper at the overlap-this is completely His aunt Bai Yun's handwriting!

But in Liang Ruixi's impression, my aunt used to make this kind of soap and didn't sell it, and at most gave one or two yuan to friends around her.

He didn't know if my aunt sold this kind of soap after she opened a shop in the town, but even if it was a commodity sale, the volume should not be large.After all, it is just a purely handmade product. First, it has not registered a trademark, and second, it cannot be mass-produced by a manufacturer.

Zhou Yan wants to collect a full six boxes, unless he asks his aunt for the formula and asks a special person to order it, or orders it from his aunt in small quantities on a regular basis.

But no matter which one, it means that Zhou Yan has met Bai Yun before this, and may even know Bai Yun...

Liang Ruixi compared several boxes of soaps and found that there are really old and new ones.The ones in two of the boxes are relatively new and have a strong smell, while the others look like they have been stored for a long time, and the wrappers are yellow.

After a glance, he found that a certain box was not full of soap, but also some old things of Zhou Yan.

Among them was a loose-leaf notebook. Liang Ruixi looked familiar at the shell. He remembered that this was Zhou Yan’s most commonly used notebook when he was in college. After the page was written, I bought a new pack and replaced it. It has been used for four full years.

Liang Ruixi couldn't hold back her curiosity, and wanted to take a look, but before she even opened it, a photo fell out of the notebook.

He took a closer look and was stunned. Isn't this a singer he liked in the early years?

Why does Zhou Yan still have the habit of collecting photos of his favorite singers?

But when he rolled over to his back, his strange expression froze immediately, and he saw a sentence written on it—"Liang Ruixi, I have fulfilled your dream in the entertainment industry, please work hard on your legal path! "

Liang Ruixi read it several times and couldn't believe it. Could it be that the celebrity wrote it to him?

And the signature and date under the photo are so real that it is impossible to fake it!

X day, X day, 201X is the summer vacation of their freshman year...

Why has Zhou Yan never mentioned the autographed photo to him?

Liang Ruixi held the photo between his fingers full of confusion, sat cross-legged on the floor, and casually opened the other party's notepad——

I only turned to the middle page, and Zhou Yan's pen writing came into my eyes, with neat and unrestrained strokes in the correct font.

"He said that I was the least literary youth he had ever seen.

That's because he has never seen these poems. "

——"Impression" 201X X Day X Day

……what is this?

Liang Ruixi turned two more pages.

"I miss the spicy pot with you,

At that time, although I was scorched to tears,

Not bitter, but a little sweet. "

——"Farewell" 201X 2nd X Day

Is this Zhou Yan's poetry anthology?

Liang Ruixi turned back to the beginning with a blank expression, and saw two sentences written on the title page——

"The law is legal without express prohibition, and I love you legally;

The law does not expressly stipulate that there is no crime, and I love you without guilt. "

—— "Definition" 201X 2nd X Day

Liang Ruixi's chest shrank suddenly, as if an arrow shot through his heart with these two words.

He turned to the next page again, and it was still a poem composed of a few short sentences——

"The hoarfrost that condenses on leftover leaves, the mist on rainy windows,

The story has no end, the poem ends abruptly,

The pencil words erased by the eraser are unspoken confessions,

Wait for a spring, and the beans buried by the heavy snow will break the ground. "

——"Extravagant Hope" 201X 2nd Day X Day

He quickly flipped through a few pages...

"When I was a freshman, I carried you on my back, and you hugged me,

For the first time I smell the jasmine on your body,

You say it smells like laundry soap,

Years later, I brought laundry soap home,

Put it under the bed, as if you were still beside me. "

——"Jasmine" 201X X Day X Day

"Yeats said that there are only two things to do in life, love you and write poetry.

It's enviable, I can't stop, I have to write a complaint,

Perhaps imagine every indictment as an indictment against you,

Only then can I feel that these things are not so tormenting. "

—— "Complaint" 201X X Day X Day

"Pedestrians stop on the zebra crossing, vehicles go against the flow,

The city darkened and brightened, and the sun set in the east.

The academic hats in the sky fall back into the hands, and the carnival students take off their robes,

Countless shadows retreat and shuttle in the cafeteria, playground, and teaching buildings,

I dragged the suitcase and pushed open the door of the dormitory, checked the names repeatedly,

Then walk up to you, tap your shoulder and say,

Classmate, did you get the wrong bed? "

—— "Hui" 201X Year X Day X Day

"The Buddha said Liang Ruixi,

Neither Liang Ruixi,

Hence the name Liang Ruixi. "

——"Three Sentences" 201X Year X Day X Day

"In "The Little Prince" there is a king who always wants to punish the mouse but has to forgive it,

Because once the death penalty is imposed on the mouse, the king will lose his only subject.

I am that king,

I will always forgive him.

Even if he makes a hundred more girlfriends. "

—— "Forgiveness" 201X X Day X Day

"What evil can a boy from the law department have?

In addition to quietly intercepting the chat records with you,

As evidence in future court proceedings. "

—— "Certificate" 201X 9th 20th

"Still be a lawyer.

Because you can't be a prosecutor anymore. "

——"Regret" 201X 4th 28th

"Don't cry, I will accompany you instead of her,

You want me to smile more, so I smile at you more. "

——"Don't Cry" 201X 4th 21st

……

Liang Ruixi didn't read every page carefully, but only picked a part of it. At first, she was a little confused, but gradually, it seemed that Zhou Yan quietly wrote down these pieces of Yu Lingsi after busy work and study. After one scene, I took out the study notes used as a cover, and compiled the verses into a book.

This is not a simple essay record, but a whole love letter written to him alone.

And what was hidden under the bed along with this collection of poems was not just six boxes of soap, but the feelings that Zhou Yan planned to bury for a lifetime.

Looking at it, a post-it note sandwiched between two pages attracted Liang Ruixi's attention again.

The sticky note is only two fingers wide, and if it wasn't for the font and color on it to be different from Zhou Yan's, it would be easy to miss.

There were only a dozen or so words on the note, and they were written with a ballpoint pen, but just a dozen or so words made Liang Ruixi's soul tremble——

"Bai Qian, XX Prison, Guangcheng, 18 years."

Bessie...

The absence of more than ten years almost made this name disappear from Liang Ruixi's memory, but the moment he saw these two words, Liang Ruixi suddenly realized that this was his mother.

His mother...is in jail?

Liang Ruixi subconsciously covered her mouth, not daring to let herself exclaim.

He vaguely remembered that during the six months after his mother left home, he would call his aunt one after another to inquire about his study status, but after half a year, there was no news.My aunt and grandmother were worried about their mother's accident. At first, they even went to the police station to report the case. After a long investigation, there was still a strong atmosphere of anxiety in the family.

But I don't know when, none of them mentioned the mother's situation anymore, as if they had confirmed the other party's safety, but they just didn't want him to know.

Once he couldn't help asking his aunt why his mother didn't come back.

My aunt was a little surprised when he heard this question, but she didn't deny it. She just sighed and said to him: "Your mother may be pursuing her own happiness."

Young and sensitive, Liang Ruixi understood just this one sentence.It may also be that such an answer is better than "mother is gone" in his opinion, so he has always believed that his mother is fine, and her mother is still alive and well in another place.

She doesn't want to come back, and he won't bother her.

In the blink of an eye for 12 years, he never thought about whether there was any other possibility for his relatives to hide from him.

He also never expected that the truth would be presented to him at the most unpredictable time, place, and method...

He was astonished, heartbroken, remorseful, and thankful... All of a sudden, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He wanted to take out his mobile phone to call his aunt, but when he looked at the soaps everywhere, he suddenly realized that maybe his aunt already knew about it.

But when did Zhou Yan...

and many more.

Liang Ruixi flipped back to the song "Regret" with trembling fingers, and glanced at the time marked on it, April 201, 4X.

...So, after returning from Yanlu Mountain, Zhou Yan went to check his mother's whereabouts?

It's just obvious that Zhou Yan didn't tell him after finding out.

On the following Labor Day, they went to Nanshi together. He remembered that when they were in Nanshi, they talked about their dreams again.

At that time, he already knew the difference between lawyers and prosecutors very well, and began to wonder if he was going in the wrong direction, and discussed with them frankly with Lu Jing during the meal: "If I want to uphold justice and fight crime, should I go to Exam for civil servants, become a prosecutor?"

If he had said this before, Zhou Yan would never have commented on it, but would have encouraged him to try it.But at that time, Liang Ruixi clearly remembered that Zhou Yan directly denied it, but his words were not as straightforward as what was written in "Regret", but said: "Your character is not suitable for being a prosecutor."

He asked "why", Zhou Yan said, "It's not as fair as you imagined there, and there are still many constraints." Then he put forward the set of fallacies he used to refute himself before, and asked him why he no longer insisted on his own opinion .

It may be that Zhou Yan's tone was too sincere at the time, and he did not doubt the other party's intentions at all, or it may be that he quickly dispelled that idea after being provoked by the other party.

How could he have imagined that Zhou Yan's persuasion to him was only to learn a cruel truth.

——Because of Bai Qian, he will never be able to be a prosecutor in his life.

Liang Ruixi turned back to the title page of the notepad, scratched the "Definition" that pierced the back of the paper with his fingertips, and suddenly felt very sad, and he didn't know where the sadness came from.

He has been separated from his mother for more than ten years. Although he misses her very much, the love between mother and child has been banned by his aunt for many years.When he learned of her whereabouts, it was more just to untie the knot in his heart when he was young.

Seeing this line of words, knowing that his mother had not abandoned him, most of his worries were settled, and it was only a matter of time before he learned the whole picture.

He also has no obsession with the prosecutor, because Zhou Yan snuffed out the slightest sign, so there is no regret of "giving up".

He doesn't need to feel sorry for Zhou Yan, because he is with Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan has already got his wish.

He also remembered the phrase "I won't tell you" that Zhou Yan said when he asked Zhou Yan where the fragrance came from. At that time, he thought Zhou Yan was being awkward and arrogant.

At this moment, he felt like a fool. After a little memory, he found that Zhou Yan liked him, so he thought that he knew everything, and he was complacent about it. He didn't expect that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg...

Now seeing this iceberg, Liang Ruixi only felt that he was going to be breathless, like the Five Fingers Mountain of the Tathagata Buddha, and like the golden bell cover of the Eighteen Arhats, enclosing him overwhelmingly.

Tears welled up in his eyes and ran down his cheeks. He suddenly realized that he was already wrapped in a world called "Zhou Yan", and he could no longer escape or get out.
