Zhou Yan looked at Luo Jin solemnly, and said every word.

"What's there to wait for? We've only just entered school, and we still have four years left in college!"

Luo Jin persuaded.

"No, there is no time. Because my growth rate is slower, the time to reunite with my parents will be delayed. You can't understand how much I miss my parents these years. And my sister, although she is very Not to mention parents, but I clearly know how many nights, my sister secretly wiped her tears because she wanted to have a complete family. Can't wait!"

Zhou Yan's words obviously surprised Luo Jin.

As good brothers in the same dormitory, Luo Jin and Zhou Yan talk about almost everything.

Luo Jin also heard Zhou Yan mention his parents.

"What did you say? Didn't your parents die long ago?"

Luo Jin looked at Zhou Yan in disbelief.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan took a deep breath.

He said to Luo Jin: "I thought so before. Until that phone call just now, my sister told me one of her conjectures..."

There was nothing to hide from Luo Jin about this matter, so Zhou Yan told Luo Jin all of Zhou Qingqing's conjectures.

It turned out that many years ago Zhou Qingqing also thought that her parents had passed away, leaving only her and her younger brother Zhou Yan to depend on each other.

Until one day, when Zhou Qingqing was cleaning the Zhou family's old house, he accidentally discovered a strange little box.

This small box is made of leather, boxy and angular. At first glance, it is not the current thing, but more like the thing used by the parents when they were young.

This old object immediately aroused Zhou Qingqing's interest.

Zhou Qingqing, 13, misses her parents very much.

She wanted to see what was in the box that belonged to her parents.

There was a rolling combination lock on the box, Zhou Qingqing couldn't open it immediately.

In fact, a leather box is not too difficult to break with brute force.

But Zhou Qingqing was reluctant to forcibly open the box from the outside, because it would destroy the parents' relics.

So, Zhou Qingqing did a surprising thing.

She fiddled with the box for a while every day, tried dozens of password schemes, and recorded all the passwords she tried that day.

In this way, the days gradually passed.

Even Zhou Yan, who lived with Zhou Qingqing for a long time, didn't notice what her sister insisted on doing every day.

Over time, the tried passwords quickly filled two thick notebooks.

Although she still failed to open the box, she did not give up and continued her habit.

Finally, three years later, Zhou Qingqing was 16 years old.

On the night of her 16th birthday, she missed her parents terribly.

In the dead of night, when Zhou Yan was already asleep, Zhou Qingqing took out the small leather box again and tried to crack it.

She was very lucky that day, and she heard a click just twice.

Zhou Qingqing almost jumped up excitedly.

Opening the combination lock means that she will open a secret that has surrounded her heart for three years.

What exactly is in the box?
Is it the watch left by Dad, or the jewelry that Mom loves?

For a moment, countless thoughts flooded Zhou Qingqing's mind.

She took a deep breath, let go of her mood, and gently lifted the lid of the box.

After opening it, Zhou Qingqing was shocked by what he saw.

In the small leather case, there were neither watches nor jewelry, only a few photos and a thick stack of letter papers inside.

The photos are old and slightly faded due to age.

But the moment he saw the photo, Zhou Qingqing cried.

The people in the photo are his father and mother.

There are four photos in the box, the oldest one is probably taken before my father and mother got married.

The mother in the photo looks very slender, with the most popular pear flower perm hairstyle, wearing tight short-sleeved upper body, slip-on fitness pants on her legs, and white sandals on her feet.

Looking at the background of the photo, it should be taken in a park. There are lawns and blooming roses in the background where the mother is standing.

Beside her was a young man, about half a head taller than her mother.

He hugged his mother gently, and the two were neither too close nor distant.

father!

Seeing this man, such a word suddenly flashed in Zhou Qingqing's mind.

Although she hadn't seen her for many years, the impression this man left on her was really too deep.

She can still vaguely remember many scenes when she was accompanied by her father when she was a child.

Dad was wearing a leather jacket, with an airplane cut, and Martin boots on his feet. He looked so young and energetic.

In addition to this photo, there are two other photos that reflect the life of the family.

One is a photo of Zhou Qingqing's father feeding her with a bottle after she was born, and the other is a photo of Zhou Yan after she was born.

This is also the only family portrait of four that Zhou Qingqing has seen.

The first three photos brought Zhou Qingqing too many family memories, but the fourth photo made her feel strange.

Because there is no one person in the fourth photo, only a dark and gloomy room.

The room has furnishings that do not belong to this era, no, it should not belong to this civilization.

Zhou Qingqing was amazed by the overly gorgeous glazed glass, the exaggerated dolls, and the candlelight on the silver base.

She likes history, so she can clearly draw a conclusion: the decoration in this room does not belong to any style known by Blue Star.

"Either it's an eerie room created by an avant-garde artist, or..."

After carefully examining the photos, Zhou Qingqing made a bold guess.

But guesses are just guesses, she continued to look at the letter paper in the small leather box.

These letter papers are thick and collapsed, and each one is a diary entry.

Zhou Qingqing counted, and there were 82 articles.

Looking at the logic and tone of the diary, Zhou Qingqing could easily conclude that these letters were all written by her mother.

Most of the letters contained the mother's records of daily chores and the growth of a pair of children, which made Zhou Qingqing feel warm and delicate after reading it.

Through this handsome handwriting, Zhou Qingqing automatically outlined an image of a gentle and delicate but stubborn and brave mother in Zhou Qingqing's mind.

In addition to the daily records, the remaining content is mainly the mother's psychological activities.

Most of them are concerns about Blue Star's safety situation, and missing Dad.

Zhou Qingqing noticed an important piece of information that she never knew by reading her mother's diary.

That is, during the period when Mom wrote the letter, Dad was away for a long time.

My mother has a good habit of keeping a diary. In most of the diaries, the date will be written on the header.

This greatly facilitated Zhou Qingqing to estimate the time span.

Through comprehensive analysis, Zhou Qingqing discovered a fact that she could hardly imagine.

That is, these 82 diaries were completed in about three years.

In the past three years, my father has not returned home.

This discovery completely shocked Zhou Qingqing.
