After the Stand-in Shou Faked His Death

It's snowing outside.

Qiqi waited by the car for a long time, and because he couldn't wait, he picked up the frisbee toy next to him and ran into the garden to play.

The world of animals is very simple, and Kiki doesn't understand human life and death.

Even though Xu Chengyan has been away for almost a year, Qiqi still comes to the car every time to look for Xu Chengyan.

Although the maid and the housekeeper had explained to Qiqi many times, Qiqi still couldn't understand.

It only knew that Xu Chengyan didn't come this time, so he would definitely come back next time.

One day it will come.

Qiqi was still heartless, rolling and playing around in the yard, even if he didn't wait for Xu Chengyan, he wouldn't feel sad.

In the villa, He Yang stood by the window, looking at the big dog in the yard.

He Yang habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

The cigarette butt fell to his feet, and He Yang didn't care, he just looked in the direction of the car.

Maybe he was a little affected by Qiqi, and like Qiqi, he would always look at the car unknowingly.

I always feel that the next second, the door will be pushed open from the inside.

He Yang stared at the direction of the car door, in a trance, as if he really saw the car door being opened——

The young man got out of the car with a smile, looked up and smiled at him.

But when He Yang looked carefully again, the car was still the same, empty inside.

Everything is just his hallucination.

He Yang lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

It's just that there are more and more cigarette butts and cigarette butts on the ground, all over the ground.

The room was deserted and quiet.

He Yang smoked alone by the window until the arrival of the butler broke the calm.

The butler knocked on the door outside the house and said, "Young Master He, V Brand has delivered this month's new model."

V brand is a men's clothing brand under the Ruan family. It was always managed by Mrs. He before, and after Mrs. He passed away, V brand was also taken over by the Ruan family again.

The Ruan family and the He family's business do not interfere with each other, but the Ruan family will still send a copy of the limited new models produced by the V brand to the He family every time.

The housekeeper asked, "Should we still put it in the room?"

He Yang looked back, and replied: "Yes."

So the butler arranged for the maid to bring this month's new men's clothing and put it in the cloakroom of the bedroom.

From shirts to coats, scarves, etc... The Ruan family sent a copy of everything.

And these new products sent over are still the same as the original ones, all in Xu Chengyan's size.

After the butler packed up the new products, he saw the man still standing by the window, so he walked over.

Butler: "Young Master He."

He Yang looked over and asked, "Is today April Fool's Day?"

The housekeeper skillfully replied: "There are still three months until April Fool's Day."

He Yang's face was very calm, and he continued to look at the snow scene outside.

Outside the window, the thick layer of snow in the yard is melting day by day, the temperature is slowly warming up, and greenery is slowly growing on the bare branches in the garden.

Every day, He Yang would stand by the window, holding a wooden sign in his hand, and stay alone for a long time.

The handwriting on the wooden sign has faded to gray, and the rope pendant on the wooden sign is also a little old, and the color is not as bright as before.

But He Yang still kept this wooden sign, never leaving his body, watching the scenery outside the window change day by day.

Until one morning in spring, the butler came over.

"Young Master He." The housekeeper reminded, "It's April Fool's Day."

The anniversary of Mr. Xu's death has arrived.

The butler looked at the man's back and asked, "Is Young Master He going to see him?"

The butler didn't mention Xu Chengyan's name, he just called him "he".

After a while, He Yang replied: "En."

"Okay." The butler went to make arrangements immediately.

When He Yang arrived outside the cemetery, it happened to be 10:30 in the morning.

But when the car stopped, He Yang did not move, and continued to sit in the car.

It was still raining outside, hearing the sound of rain, He Yang suddenly became agitated and frowned slightly.

It seems that every year in early April, it rains.

The cemetery was still deserted, only a few or three people were there.

He Yang still stayed in the car, from morning to afternoon, habitually touching the wooden sign in his hand, over and over again.

【May you be safe and sound all year round】

He Yang looked at the handwriting on the wooden sign and was a little lost in thought.

It may be that this blessing really worked. During this year, he has not been sick.

It's just occasional insomnia, and it seems to have some auditory hallucinations.

I can always hear the vibrating sound of the mobile phone, and the voice of Xu Chengyan calling "Sir".

He Yang put the wooden sign back into his pocket, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw Jiang Lin outside the cemetery.

Jiang Lin walked by alone holding an umbrella and holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms.

Jiang Lin looked over and immediately recognized He Yang's car next to him.

However, Jiang Lin didn't intend to come over to catch up on the old days, so he just looked away indifferently and entered the cemetery alone.

Jiang Lin came to the tombstone, leaned over slowly, and put the bouquet beside him.

Looking at the black and white posthumous photos above, Jiang Lin had a lot to say, but in the end he didn't say anything, just turned and left holding an umbrella.

After leaving the cemetery, Jiang Lin came to the psychological clinic.

Sitting opposite Jiang Lin, the doctor asked with a smile, "How are you doing?"

"Very good." Jiang Lin's tone was very relaxed.

The doctor chatted: "I saw your post last month, did you go on a trip again?"

Jiang Lin responded, and replied, "I went to Finland last month and saw the aurora."

He went to Kakslauttan in Finland, lay in an igloo and saw a feast in the stars.

He also went to Sweden, to Norway...

Since graduating last summer, he has traveled a lot.

"I also collected a lot of stamps." Jiang Lin said slowly, "I bought so many that I couldn't fit my suitcase."

"Did you go alone?" the doctor asked.

"Well, I met a lot of friends on the road." Thinking of the interesting things that happened on the road, Jiang Lin couldn't help laughing, "I met a fellow villager, he was not used to foreign food just like me, and he had to go to the kitchen to make it himself every time." rice, and leave one for me."

"I also met a piano teacher who said that he was looking for inspiration for creation, and he insisted on going outside to blow the cold wind at night."

Jiang Lin was smiling at first, but as he was talking, Jiang Lin suddenly fell silent.

The doctor noticed Jiang Lin's mood and called out in a low voice: "Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Lin said suddenly: "I just went to see him in the cemetery."

"I miss him so much." Jiang Lin lowered his head.

Doctor: "He'd be fine in another world."

"I know." Jiang Lin nodded, "He will have a good life..."

Sister-in-law just went to another world.

He also believes that his sister-in-law will live well in a place he can't see.

Although he will still be sad now, he will still be sad.

But he's used to these negativity, and it's okay.

It's been a year since his sister-in-law left, and he's used to it, and now he can talk about it calmly with others——

At least I won't break down and cry as soon as I recall that incident like before.

Jiang Lin raised his head and said slowly, "A few months ago, I went to Anshi."

He went to town and met the driver's family.

The driver's wife runs a small fruit shop, and the driver's daughter is already in high school.

He didn't know how to face this family, so he found an excuse and ordered a large number of goods from the fruit store, which almost emptied the fruit store.

He still remembered that when he was ordering, the driver's wife kept smiling, and the driver's daughter also sneaked over and gave him a souvenir from the ancient town.

He also saw a group photo of the driver's family on the cash register in the store, and the family of three laughed happily.

"That family is really nice..."

But this family has lost a person forever.

And all of this was caused by him.

If he had asked him to stay that morning, the following things would not have happened.

Jiang Lin closed his eyes, calmed down for a while, took a deep breath, and then continued: "Sometimes, I still dream about that car accident."

Dreamed that his sister-in-law died in front of him, and blood flowed all over the floor.

And he could only take his sister-in-law's body out of the van, holding this cold body, helpless.

"I really want to hug again..." Jiang Lin whispered.

He still remembers when the staff told him that when the accident happened, the people in the car had not died on the spot.

The deceased died because he was trapped in the car and dragged until the fuel tanker exploded.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but think, will it hurt when sister-in-law leaves?

Die slowly in pain like this, it must be very painful...

Jiang Linhong's eyes were narrowed, but he still controlled his emotions and did not lose his composure.

If his sister-in-law was still alive, he wanted to hug her again.

Just want a warm hug.

It was already evening when Jiang Lin left the psychological clinic.

The doctor cleared the table, took off his white coat, and prepared to go home from get off work.

But when the doctor closed the door and turned around, he saw He Yang coming.

The doctor said helplessly, "Mr. He, I'm leaving get off work."

He Yang: "Work overtime."

The doctor had no choice but to say: "Then my consultation fee will be doubled."

The doctor reopened the door and let He Yang in.

He Yang came to the counseling room and sat on a chair.

The doctor put on a white coat and walked over.

He Yang looked at the person opposite, and rarely took the initiative to say: "Today is April Fool's Day."

The doctor nodded and asked seriously, "Is there anything Mr. He wants to say?"

"No." He Yang said lightly.

The doctor was a little helpless, so he had to say: "Mr. He, every time you come here, you always ask me if it's April Fool's Day."

Doctor: "It's finally April Fool's Day, why don't you say anything?"

But He Yang still didn't respond.

"Mr. He, it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk." The doctor sighed, "The consultation fee is billed by the hour. Don't forget, Mr. He."

After speaking, the doctor bowed his head and began to sort out the psychological consultation records.

And He Yang was on the opposite side of the table, holding a wooden sign in his hand and rubbing it.

The room fell silent, very quiet.

The doctor is also used to this way of getting along with the two of them. After all, He Yang is like this every time he comes here, he rarely speaks, and just sits here all the time.

The doctor continued to sort out the records when he suddenly heard a slight click.

The doctor couldn't help but looked up, and saw a small black jewelry box in He Yang's hand, and the lid had been opened.

The box was very delicate, and the doctor couldn't see what was inside. It is estimated that the things inside should not be very big, and it may be accessories such as earrings or brooch cufflinks.

And He Yang also stretched out his hand, and took out the contents of the box——

It's a pair of diamond rings.

He Yang looked at the pair of diamond rings and held them in his hands.

"Mr. He." The doctor couldn't help asking, "Is this for someone to give away?"

He Yang responded.

Doctor: "Who is it for?"

He Yang said slowly: "A friend."

The doctor asked, "Is it for him?"

The doctor didn't clarify who "he" was, but He Yang could understand.

"Yeah." He Yang leaned on the back of the chair, holding one of the smaller diamond rings.

"Mr. He, are you just friends?" The doctor smiled, "Diamond rings are never given between friends."

He Yang still didn't respond, still looking down at the diamond ring.

The doctor said slowly, "Jiang Lin and him are also friends, so Jiang Lin didn't give him a diamond ring."

He Yang: "Not friends."

The doctor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that your boyfriend?"

He Yang fell silent, and after a while, he returned: "No."

They are neither friends nor lovers.

From beginning to end, they never established a relationship.

The doctor tentatively asked, "Then he is?"

There was silence in the room, and no one responded.

The doctor looked at the man in front of him with some headaches, and sighed: "Mr. He, as I said before, please don't suppress your emotions."

It has been a year since that person died.

The situation on Jiang Lin's side is much better, and Jiang Lin has gradually come out of the pain and started a new life.

But the situation of the man in front of him is very bad, everything is still the same as the beginning——

Always talk less, his face is still so indifferent, no emotion can be seen at all.

No matter how he guides, He Yang always refuses to let go, and only occasionally responds.

Seeing that He Yang kept silent, the doctor deliberately prodded: "Mr. He, he is already dead."

"It's too late to send the ring now, the dead can't wear the ring." The doctor opened the wound very cruelly.

Holding the diamond ring, He Yang said slowly, "He's not dead."

Xu Chengyan is not dead.

Every night, he could hear Xu Chengyan's voice.

Whether it's an apartment, an old house, or a company...

Even his car was full of traces left by Xu Chengyan, who bought a bunch of things and left them in his car.

It was as if Xu Chengyan hadn't left.

"He's not dead." He Yang repeated again.

"Mr. He, he has been dead for a year." The doctor's tone was a little cold, "Death cannot be brought back to life."

"This ring is a year late, even if you buy it back now, it's useless." The doctor looked at the diamond ring and frowned, "If you want to give it away, you should give it away as soon as possible."

As if he didn't hear it, He Yang lowered his head and stared at the diamond ring in his hand, rubbing his fingertips against the inner circle of the ring.

After a long time, He Yang raised his head and finally said, "It's a very important person."

is very important person.

Also, people I like.

But it was too late.
