Unique memory

Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang grew up together, and their good relationship is something that all the elders can see. Everyone just regards it as brotherhood, and never thinks about other aspects, and neither does He Minyu.

Now seeing such a photo album, such a letter, and thinking about the past between the two, if it is said that it is impossible for ordinary feelings, two boys, no matter how good their relationship is, it is impossible for them to stay so close. of photos.

He Minyu was absent-minded for a long time before squatting down to pick up the photo album, wiped off the dust on it with her hands, and then opened it again, her eyes fell on the photo of the two people in front of her. When looking at Xu Jia, there was an unconcealable love in his eyes.

She didn't know when the relationship between the two of them started, but the photo album was placed at the bottom of the drawer, and the drawer was usually locked, which proved that Wei Lingyang didn't want others to find out about it. It is still hanging on the drawer, probably because Wei Lingyang forgot to lock it when he went to the hospital, otherwise she would not have found it.

If she hadn't come back today, if she hadn't cleaned up, if she hadn't cleared the drawers, she wouldn't have found the photo album, and nothing would have happened.

If you haven't found it...

Thinking of this, He Minyu suddenly closed the photo album, stuffed it back into the drawer, pressed it with the book next to it, and then closed the drawer, trying to lock it as if she had never seen anything before. Time stopped.

...But she has clearly seen it.

He Minyu slowly withdrew her hand, as if her whole body had been drained of strength, she squatted down and covered her face, crying out loudly: "What evil did I do..."

At this moment, she thought of her husband who was unconscious in the hospital, her son who stayed up late to accompany her in bed in the hospital, and Xu Jia who came to deliver dumplings to her in the cold wind last night on New Year's Eve.

Whether it's her own son or Xu Jia, she watched them grow up, they are obviously such good children, how could they become like this?

He Minyu didn't know how long she sat in Wei Lingyang's room until the light outside the window dimmed, and the room also darkened. It was only when the landline outside the living room rang that she regained her thoughts and stood up. Get up and go out to answer the phone.

It was Wei Lingyang who called. Seeing that she hadn't heard from her for a day, he called back to inquire. Because the mobile phone didn't answer, he called the landline at home.

As soon as He Minyu came back, she was cleaning up the hygiene at home. She put her mobile phone in her bag and didn't take it out, so she didn't hear the sound. Hearing Wei Lingyang's concerned words from the phone, she couldn't help but think of the book in the drawer. Album, there was an urge to question clearly, but in the end I tried my best to endure it, and said as calmly as possible: "Mom is fine, but I am too tired. I came back to take a rest, and I didn't hear the phone ringing."

"You really need to take a break, don't come to the hospital tonight, just let me take care of Dad." Wei Lingyang said over there.

"Can you do it alone? Or..." He Minyu asked hesitantly, "Is Jiajia also in the hospital?"

"Jiajia is also here, he is next to me, do you want to talk to him?"

"No, no." He Minyu quickly refused, realizing that her tone was too anxious, and said, "No, I'm just asking, just asking."

"You don't have to worry, take a good rest at home and come back tomorrow, or you don't need to come here, I'll call you if there's anything you need."

"Okay, you guys also pay attention to rest, I'll go there tomorrow."

He Minyu gave a few instructions before hanging up the phone.

The phone showed that it was past seven o'clock in the evening, and the room was dark without turning on the lights, and she had no intention of turning on the lights, so she sat down on the armrest of the sofa and did not move for a long time.

……

In the ward, Wei Lingyang hung up the phone and put the phone aside. Seeing that the call was over, Xu Jia asked aloud, "Is Aunt Min okay?"

"It's okay, I said I was tired and fell asleep and didn't hear the phone ring." Wei Lingyang said, these days, it's mother who is taking care of father. People are not made of iron, and they really can't bear it. "I said you are still here By the way, tell her not to come over tonight and rest at home."

"Alright." Xu Jia nodded, "Then I'll call my grandma and tell her that I won't be going back tonight."

"Okay." Wei Lingyang touched his face, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Xu Jia said with a smile, "I'm going to make a phone call first."

"it is good."

He Minyu didn't come to the hospital that night, and he didn't come the next day. He just called in the morning to inquire about Wei Zhongqi's situation. At that time, the hospital just arranged a new examination for Wei Zhongqi. Wei Lingyang was busy running back and forth, So she didn't pay much attention to it, only when she was really tired and needed to rest.

It wasn't until the third day that He Minyu just called to inquire about the situation before he realized that something was wrong. With the relationship between her parents, no matter how tired she was, it was impossible for her not to visit the hospital for three days, even though her father's condition was no longer stable. There were few, but the person was still in a coma, which was unreasonable at all, so he called He Minyu again.

When He Minyu answered the phone, there was no obvious abnormality in her voice. Wei Lingyang pestered her for a long chat in doubt before hanging up the phone, and then told Xu Jia about the situation, worried that something might happen to her at home.

Xu Jia thought it made sense. At this time, grandpa and grandma went to see relatives but did not come back, and no one else in the family could go to have a look. Dang even said: "I'll go back and have a look. You stay in the hospital. If there is anything wrong, I will notify you right away." you."

"Okay." Wei Lingyang picked up the scarf and wrapped it around him, and helped him put on the gloves, "Be careful on the road."

"Well, I'll go first." Xu Jia left the ward after speaking.

There is a direct bus from the entrance of the hospital to the community, but Xu Jia was worried about what would happen to He Minyu, so he went out and took a taxi directly back.The taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, he got out of the car after paying and ran all the way back, running up to the fourth floor in one breath.

The door of Wei's house was not closed, it was only ajar.Xu Jia knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he opened the door and walked in. He was relieved to see He Minyu sitting on the sofa, and called softly, "Aunt Min."

The other party didn't respond, so he simply closed the door and walked over. After entering, he found that the heating was not turned on in the room, and He Minyu was only wearing a thin or thick sweater, not even a coat.

She seemed to be thinking about something, her expression was a little empty, and she didn't even pay attention to Xu Jia walking in.

When Xu Jia approached, she found that she had only seen her for two days, and she seemed to be haggard again, as if she had been overdrawn with too much vitality, and her whole body was extremely dim. Last year, she was still very radiant.

Xu Jia walked to her side, picked up the jacket at the side and put it on her shoulders, and called again, "Aunt Min?"

"Huh?" He Minyu came back to her senses, looked at the clothes on her shoulders, looked up and saw Xu Jia, and was stunned, "Jiajia? Why are you here?"

"Yangyang is worried that you are alone at home, let me..."

Xu Jia's words stopped when she saw the photo album on her lap. The top photo was taken at Xian'e Lake in City Z, and the photo of Wei Lingyang kissing herself.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why He Minyu's abnormality these two days.

After noticing his gaze, He Minyu also looked at the photo that had made her dizzy for the past two days, was silent for a while, then closed the album and handed it to him: "I found this in the Yangyang drawer, take a look Let’s say it’s a birthday present for you this year.”

When she said this, her voice was very calm, but Xu Jia could hear the powerless desolation inside. He reached out to take the photo album. When the other party let go, a simple photo album was held in his hand, but it felt like a thousand catties.

Most of the photos in it were taken by Wei Lingyang, many of which Xu Jia knew when he took them, but many of them were taken without Xu Jia's knowledge, such as some of his single photos.

At the back of the album, besides his love letter to Wei Lingyang, there is also a card written by Wei Lingyang.

——Jiajia baby, happy birthday, love you forever.

In the lower right corner of the card is Wei Lingyang's name, and there are two villains kissing on the desk, with a heart drawn between them.

Xu Jia would be very pleasantly surprised if he saw such a photo album under other circumstances, because Wei Lingyang had secretly prepared birthday gifts for him so early on, but now He Minyu discovered this secret earlier than him. , he was more at a loss and overwhelming guilt.

Since dating Wei Lingyang, he has always been afraid of being discovered by Wei Lingyang's parents about their relationship, afraid of seeing their blame and disappointment, but even if he is afraid, he can't help but be greedy for those happiness, hoping that it will be better. Long term.

However, the paper couldn't contain the fire after all. He couldn't imagine how He Minyu would feel when he faced this photo album alone these two days. If it was at other times, he might still have the courage to seek her forgiveness, but When Wei Zhongqi became a vegetative state, if he said one more thing, it would be another kind of harm to her.

"I haven't been to the hospital for the past two days, because I don't know how to face such a thing." He Minyu's eyes were also fixed on the photo album in his hand, "You are all good children, and you are all children I have seen growing up since childhood." , I'm afraid that I won't be able to control my words, and I'm afraid that I will do something to hurt you..."

When she said this, she choked up, tilted her head and took a deep breath, and controlled the mixed emotions in her heart before turning to look at Xu Jia: "Jiajia, tell me the truth, you and Yangyang...really ..."

"Aunt Min..." Xu Jia moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but met her moist eyes, he couldn't say anything. He had no way to explain it, because all these were facts, so he could only speak with difficulty. Nodding, squeezed out a word from his throat, "... yes."

Even though it was 100% confirmed, He Minyu still couldn't accept it when he admitted it personally, or she refused to accept it from the very beginning of her discovery.

She closed her eyes, unable to tell whether she was more sad or angry, but felt that her whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness. After her husband became a vegetable, her two most beloved children, in this way Give her a whack.

"Aunt Min, don't cry..." Seeing her crying silently, Xu Jia stretched out his hand to help her wipe it distressedly, but wiped more and more, and noticed her slightly swollen eyes, her hands were frozen in mid-air and she was at a loss, knowing in her heart She must have cried for a long time at home in the past two days. She was so disappointed and angry, but she was still worried that she would hurt herself. Since she was a child, she has always been so gentle to herself.

"I tried to persuade myself to accept the two of you, but I couldn't..." He Minyu put her hand on her forehead, her voice could not hide her regret, "I have been thinking about how you two became like this? Didn't you What did our parents do wrong? We didn't educate you well, or..."

"No, no, don't blame yourself." Xu Jia quickly explained, afraid that she would attribute the reason to herself, afraid that she would be overwhelmed, "It's none of your business."

"What's the reason?" He Minyu looked up at him, and continued without waiting for him to answer, "Jiajia, Aunt Suanmin, please don't do this, please? What will people think of you if you are like this? Ah?"

"I……"

"It's not right for you to do this. How could you be like this? This is not normal!" He Minyu grabbed his hand with an agitated expression, repeating messy words, "I have lost your uncle, I can't If you lose Yangyang again, I beg you, don't take him away..."

Her force was very strong, her fingernails pierced into the back of Xu Jia's hand, digging out a sharp finger mark on the skin, causing obvious stinging pain, Xu Jia did not dare to struggle, fearing that it would irritate her even more.

He wanted to say that I didn't take him away, and I couldn't take him away.But looking at the woman in front of him who was almost ten years older in a short period of time, he couldn't say anything.He knew that any word could overwhelm her and break her down. What she wanted was not an explanation or an apology, but a promise, a promise to leave her son.

And this promise, only Xu Jia can make it.

He didn't want to give it, just thinking about that sentence made him feel breathless, let alone actually doing it, but he had no choice.

The woman in front of him cared more about him than his biological mother, but he selfishly led her son on this path that was not recognized by others, and put her love outside of his personal relationship, even though he knew she couldn't He would accept it, but he was lucky enough to do such an unreasonable thing while enjoying her love.

In the final analysis, it was not she who asked to break up with her son who was selfish, but himself.

"...I'm sorry." Xu Jia moved his lips, and the words he said were almost so dumb that he couldn't hear them clearly.

Whether she needs it or not, he owes her an apology.

"Don't cry."

"I promise you."

Hearing his promise, He Minyu not only didn't feel relieved, but felt even more uncomfortable. In fact, she knew from the very beginning that as long as she spoke, Xu Jia would definitely agree. He is so sensible and never puts himself first. It's been like that since childhood, isn't it?

"Aunt Min is sorry for you, but there is nothing I can do..."

"I know, but you have to give me some time." Xu Jia interrupted her calmly, and took her hand out of her hand, "It's good that you are fine, I still have something to do, so I won't stay any longer, you have a good rest, Take care of yourself."

After speaking, he stood up from the sofa, bowed to her, turned and left.

Coming out of Wei's house, Xu Jia called Wei Lingyang, and then stood on the stairs on the first floor of his house for a long time, so long that even a thin layer of ice mist accumulated on the tip of his hair.

Last night, Wei Lingyang's words "Will you wait for me" rang in his ears. He didn't have time to answer at that time, and he won't have the chance to answer in the future.

The happiness he stole will eventually be returned, and he can't keep it.

His heart seemed to be gouged open by a sharp weapon, and the pain quickly spread to his limbs, like a raging tide, or like an ice knife blowing in the face in winter, it was too late to resist, and the pain made him bend over at the corner of the wall waist.
