Seven Strings in Dreams

Meimei: "You just broke up and you're going out to eat, drink and have fun, is that okay?"

Meng Xianyu: "I have something important to do and I must go"

Meimei: "Is that so? How about I go with you? I'm not going to work anyway."

Meng Xianyu: "You haven't been going to work recently?"

Meimei: "Preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination at home"

Meng Xianyu: "Are you serious?"

Meimei: “Seriously!”

Meng Xianyu: "Then you should study hard at home!"

Meimei: "Okay! Then when are you leaving? I'll take you there."

Meng Xianyu picked up her phone and said, "I haven't chosen my flight yet."

Meimei: "Then tell me when you've decided."

Meng Xianyu: "What about the bracelet?"

Meimei: "I remember Ningning should have one, let me ask."

Meng Xianyu: "Don't worry too much, maybe I saw it wrong"

Meimei: "That's why I want you to accompany me. I also hope that I am wrong."

Meng Xianyu: "Don't think too much. I'll play any game you want to play. Or we can watch a movie."

Meimei: “Okay, I love you.”

Three days later, Meng Xianyu set off. She took a flight to the Fog City at noon, and just then, a netizen found out about Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu, Aunt Liu and Meng Xianyu's mother. The three of them are of similar age and were considered good sisters at the time.

Meng Xianyu had met Aunt Xu a few times after she grew up, but she hadn't seen Aunt Liu for more than 20 years. So Meng Xianyu went to find Aunt Xu first, and then went to the island to find Aunt Liu.

Meimei came to help Meng Xianyu pack her things early in the morning. Meng Xianyu didn't want to take a suitcase, and she didn't have anything to bring. Her own big suitcase had to be checked in, which was too much trouble. So she only took a backpack.

I didn’t expect that when Meimei came, she brought a small suitcase with a Hello Kitty cat design, which was pink and tender, and super sweet.

Meng Xianyu couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.

Meimei stuffed a lot of things into the small suitcase.

Meng Xianyu had already said hello to Mu Ningning last night. She gave the dormitory key to Meimei and asked Meimei to pass it on to Mu Ningning.

The two of them walked around the airport for a long time and took photos together. When they were tired of walking around, they sat down and chatted.

Meng Xianyu: "Meimei, I have always had a question."

Meimei: “Just ask.”

Meng Xianyu: "What's your uncle's name?"

Meimei: "You mean my dad?"

Meng Xianyu: "I'm just curious, hehe, if it's inconvenient, forget it!"

Meimei: "It's not inconvenient, his name is Mei Xiaohui"

Meng Xianyu: "Who gave you your name?"

Meimei: "You also think it's too simple, don't you? My parents were upset after looking through the dictionary. They both agreed that girls should be beautiful. So, a name that is so important to me was decided in such a hasty manner. Meimei, I am Meimei, please call me Meimei, woooo"

Meng Xianyu: "Be good, it's all my fault! Plum blossoms are really beautiful! You are also very beautiful."

Meimei, no, it's Meimei. Her name has always been questioned since she was a child, and she is often called "sister". Sister is sister, anyway, her parents are determined not to agree to her changing her name.

Meimei: "It's time for you to board the plane. Take your things and tell me when you get off the plane."

Meng Xianyu: "Xiaomei, don't worry, I'll tell you when we get there. Thank you for the cartoon suitcase!"

Mei Mei: "Well, little fairy, bye"

Meng Xianyu: "Jiujiu, please. Bye."

Meimei: "Well, go early and come back early, waiting for you"

Meng Xianyu took a nap on the plane, and when she woke up, she was almost in the foggy city. After getting off the plane, she first reported to Meimei that she was safe, and then went to eat something.

Meng Xianyu hasn't figured out how to talk to Aunt Xu yet.

Meng Xianyu decided to go to the neighborhood where Aunt Xu lived first. Meng Xianyu dragged her suitcase around twice and actually saw Aunt Xu with her little grandson. Aunt Xu was pushing her little grandson who was a few months old to buy groceries. It can be seen that Aunt Xu is very familiar with these neighbors and can chat with everyone. Meng Xianyu followed Aunt Xu for a while and stopped. Since Aunt Xu was with her little grandson, she would not go far and might come back soon.

Meng Xianyu stopped at a nearby small park and sat on a bench there waiting. This was the only way Aunt Xu would come back.

Meng Xianyu was bored after waiting for a while, so she played a few games. An internet addict girl is an internet addict girl, and she almost missed Aunt Xu because of the games.

Maybe it was God’s help, Aunt Xu happened to sit on the other side of the bench after coming back from buying groceries.

The crying of the child made Meng Xianyu stop. Meng Xianyu looked up and saw Aunt Xu and her little grandson sitting next to her. Meng Xianyu almost dropped her phone on the ground, so she quickly grabbed the phone and quit the game.

Aunt Xu looked up at Meng Xianyu and asked, "Miss, are you here to visit relatives with all these bags?"

Meng Xianyu: "I guess so!"

Aunt Xu: "Are you waiting for someone here? I see you speak with a northern accent."

Meng Xianyu secretly encouraged herself: "Are you Aunt Xu?"

Aunt Xu: "Do you know me?"

Meng Xianyu took off her mask: "Aunt Xu, I'm Meng Xianyu, do you still remember me?"

Aunt Xu looked carefully and recognized Meng Xianyu: "Oh, you've grown up so much, and you still know Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu is so happy! Come on, come on, come to my house and have a seat!"

Meng Xianyu came here originally for Aunt Xu, so naturally she would not refuse.

Meng Xianyu went to Aunt Xu's house. The place was not big, but it was quite warm.

Everyone else in Aunt Xu's family went to work. Aunt Xu was busy cooking, so she asked Meng Xianyu to help take care of her little grandson, Beibei, who was only five months old and quite obedient.

Aunt Xu: "Your Uncle Wen is out working. He only comes back for two days a month. We'll take some photos for your Uncle Wen later."

Meng Xianyu: “Okay”

Aunt Xu was washing vegetables while chatting with Meng Xianyu about family matters.

Aunt Xu: "Xianyu, all of us old sisters and neighbors know about your mother's situation, but now we are all scattered all over the world, so it's hard to get together again. I'm so sad..."

Meng Xianyu: "It's okay, I'm fine now"

Aunt Xu: "Where's your dad? Is he still working?"

Meng Xianyu: "Yeah, I can't stay idle"

Aunt Xu: "Your Uncle Wen has always missed him a lot. Leave your father's cell phone number here. Your Uncle Wen doesn't know how to use WeChat."

Meng Xianyu: “Okay”

Aunt Xu told Meng Xianyu a lot, such as her son is a doctor, and her daughter-in-law is a nurse, and both are very busy. Aunt Xu usually takes care of her grandson and does housework. Aunt Xu also asked Meng Xianyu when she would get married. Meng Xianyu said that they had just broken up a few days ago and there was no rush.

Aunt Xu: "What are you doing here?"

Meng Xianyu put down the rattle she was using to coax Beibei. She looked at Aunt Xu and asked, "I came here to relax and meet some friends. Seeing Aunt Xu today reminded me of some things from my childhood."

Aunt Xu: "The chicken soup is already cooked, and the fish is already steamed, let's go inside and chat."

Aunt Xu washed her hands and changed her clothes. Meng Xianyu and Beibei sat on the sofa and waited.

Aunt Xu came over with some fruit and sat opposite Meng Xianyu. Meng Xianyu chatted with her for a few words and then got down to business.

Meng Xianyu: "Aunt Xu, what was my parents' relationship like before I was born?"

Aunt Xu: "It's pretty good, I guess. We work everywhere and spend less time together than together. Your dad is a quiet guy and your mom is willing to endure hardships. At least from our perspective, they have a pretty good relationship."

Meng Xianyu: "Nothing special?"

Aunt Xu: "When you say that, it reminds me of one night when your parents had a huge argument. Your mom was pregnant at the time. Your dad slammed the door and left."

Meng Xianyu: "Do you remember how long ago I was born?"

Aunt Xu: "My son is exactly two years older than you, and we are both Aries, so I remember it very clearly. Those days should have been the New Year's Day holiday, which was the three days of New Year's Day in 93, but I can't remember which day it was."

Meng Xianyu: "New Year's Day, Aries, which is when you are six or seven months pregnant"

Aunt Xu: "Child, why are you asking these questions?"

Meng Xianyu: "No, I just want to know more about their stories! My dad never told me."

Aunt Xu: "I see. Your mother really had a hard time. She was still working at that time, and then she fainted at the factory. Then she took two or three months off."

Meng Xianyu: "Fainted?"

Aunt Xu: "Your father said it was malnutrition, and the hospital asked you to stay in the hospital for observation. Your mother was hospitalized until you were born. When she was discharged, you were already one month old."

Meng Xianyu: "You mean, the first time the neighbors saw me was when she was discharged from the hospital, which was when I was one month old?"

Aunt Xu: "Yes. At that time, we were all a group of people who rented a house and worked there. We were all busy making money and could only rest for two or three days a month. If we asked for leave, our wages would be deducted. We also worked overtime until midnight, so we had no time at all. On the day you went home, your Aunt Liu happened to be resting. It seemed that she went with your father to pick you and your daughter up."

Meng Xianyu: "I haven't seen Aunt Liu for a long time. Is she okay?"

Aunt Xu: "She's doing fine. Her daughter gave birth to twins last month, which made her very happy. I'll recommend her video account to you later."

Meng Xianyu: "Thank you Aunt Xu!"

Aunt Xu: "Child, I know the things you ask are not as simple as you say. Aunt Xu will not interfere in the affairs of young people. But you must have a good meal at Aunt Xu's place today! Just treat it as if you were at home."

Meng Xianyu said goodbye to the enthusiastic Aunt Xu and her family. After buying a plane ticket to the island, Aunt Liu was a little surprised to see Meng Xianyu's appearance. After Meng Xianyu's relentless questioning, Aunt Liu told her that she had seen a woman who looked very similar to him in the hospital that year. As for why she still remembered it after so many years, it was because that day in the hospital, the woman was told by the doctor that the child was dead, and the woman cried heartbreakingly. Aunt Liu is also a mother, so she has always remembered the scene of that day. Meng Xianyu's appearance did surprise her a little, and she didn't know the details. She told Meng Xianyu the address of the hospital and the name of the doctor, and Meng Xianyu flew over immediately. After that, Meng Xianyu found the information of the mother that Aunt Liu mentioned that year. She was ready to take off again to find the truth, but this time it was not as smooth as she imagined. The typhoon came and all flights to that city were cancelled. She took the high-speed rail first, and rented a car after arriving at the local area.

When Meng Xianyu arrived at the place, she realized that she couldn't get there by car. She had to take a boat to get to the island where the woman was. The boat had stopped sailing. Meng Xianyu originally wanted to rent a speedboat, but no one dared to trade with her.

When people thought the typhoon had passed, some bold fishermen began to take the opportunity to raise the price. Some tourists who couldn't wait boarded the fishing boats. The small fishing boats could only carry six passengers, but only three people got on board, including Meng Xianyu...

When Meng Xianyu thought she was close to the truth, a huge wave overturned the small fishing boat. Meng Xianyu had no time to struggle and slowly sank to the bottom of the water... She completely disappeared from this world...

The letter Meng Xianyu left behind disappeared, the photo disappeared, and everyone who knew her lost their memory of Meng Xianyu... There is no trace of her in this world anymore...
