Would you like to visit the coffee shop downstairs? "

Ji Yifan didn't speak.

Zhou Li laughed straight away, although it was awkward but not annoying.

"Mr. Ji, can I just delay your time for 10 minutes?"

Ji Yifan bypassed him and walked to where his car was.

Zhou Li shouted behind him: "Mr. Ji, just to waste your time, I know you don't like Xu Jin, but really, please, Xu Jin is dying."

10

'Xu Jin is dying' is actually an exaggerated statement.

There were people coming and going in the coffee shop, Zhou Li's chubby figure was huddled in the seat, his head was lowered, and there was a cup of steaming strong tea in front of him.

Ji Yifan looked outside the glass wall. It was the rush hour for get off work, there were many pedestrians outside, and there were thin snowflakes in the sky.

It turns out that winter has come for so long.

When Zhou Li spoke, Ji Yifan was distracted.

"What did you say?"

"Mr. Ji, do you know that there was a serious traffic accident in City Y 11 years ago?"

Zhou Li repeated what he said again.

This time Ji Yifan heard it clearly, and his face changed slightly.

that night.Ji Yifan returned to the suburban residence where he hadn't been back for a long time.Since he had frequent nightmares, he moved out from here, and now when he came back, he opened the door and it was as stuffy as a stone.

Touching the scene and living in love.Only sadness and depression.

He turned on the light in the living room, and saw the furniture covered in white cloth. The house had not been lived in for a long time, and some dust had accumulated.

On the second floor, Ji Yifan didn't go back to his room, but pushed away another master bedroom.

The second floor is specially designed by the parents for their siblings, and the layout of the two master bedrooms is the same.

Pushing open the door, you can see pink, cute puppet toys, and a round bed hung with light gauze.

Ji Yifan sat on Ji Zhixue's desk and turned on the desk lamp.

Ji Zhixue has the habit of keeping a diary, which was developed at a very young age.

Ji Yifan gently stroked the edge of the table, and then opened the drawer.

Fortunately, when Ji Zhixue left, he didn't clean up all her belongings because he didn't have the courage to face it.

Sunny on November 3, X11

Mom and Dad said they will be back soon, I did not do well in the exam, I hope Mom and Dad will not be unhappy.

Heavy rain on November 3, X11

I was waiting for my parents at the door. An uncle braved the rain to find my brother and told him to go to City Y.

Snow on January 4, X1

This year only my brother and I celebrate New Year's Eve.

Heavy Snow on January 4, X1

I'll be fine, my brother is so busy, he has to work and take care of me, I'm so naive.

X4 April 2

I dare not sleep alone, I always think about a lot of things, I think if I didn't urge my parents to go home quickly, nothing would happen to them.

X4 April 5

I was wrong, my brother obviously worked very hard, I was not sensible yet, I cried all night, he saw my red and swollen eyes, and said he would stay at home with me.

X4 April 6

Can I still celebrate Children's Day?Without my parents, I would not be a child.

X4 April 7

If I am happy every day, my brother will be much more relaxed, and I want to be happy.

X4 April 8

I can't sleep, I think I did something wrong, I'm so useless, if it weren't for me, nothing would happen to my parents.I was so sad, I said I was going to be happy, but I still cried.

Looking at the vast starry sky outside the window, Ji Yifan couldn't calm down for a long time.

How did he survive the pain of losing a loved one?At that time, he was too busy, his father left too much property, and he had a young sister to take care of. There were too many things he could do, and most of them didn't have time to think about this kind of pain.

Ji Yifan felt that he was too selfish. There were countless reasons for him to be strong, to take care of his sister and take care of his father's company. He could confidently say that he could not fall down. How grandiose it was.

What about my sister who is also suffering from this pain?Even Xu Jin, what reason can they use to make themselves happy and strong?

Zhou Li looked melancholy.

"His wife is pregnant, and he is busy with work. He is afraid that he will not be able to take good care of him, so he asks his wife to return to her mother's house for two months."

"His parents divorced when he was very young, and they both have new families. He and his wife fell in love when they were in college. On the day of their wedding, a few good friends left. He didn't even notify his parents."

"The road was slippery on a rainy day, and I collided with a tourist bus, killing two people."

Ji Yifan recalled what Zhou Li said, and his heart was a little touched.

It is often reported in the news that the child is lost, and the parents have been searching for it for more than [-] years, and they have not given up so far.There are countless people who have become crazy and idiotic because of the accidental death of their loved ones.

At a certain moment, Ji Yifan felt the loneliness and pain of being alone.

"Mr. Ji may have misunderstood something about Lingmei."

"Xu Jin saved her, but he only drove away a few hooligans for her. Lingmei seems to like Xu Jin very much, and keeps coming to the store to look for him. He has a good temper but is indifferent, which may have caused Lingmei a lot of grievances." , but he will never do anything out of line."

"Mr. Ji, for the sake of Xu Jin's pitifulness, you should show your hand so that he can find even a job. If he stays alone, he might do something stupid again."

Ji Yifan stood in front of a dilapidated apartment, with large pieces of walls missing, revealing the dark red bricks and cement inside. When he pushed open the unlocked door, he saw the stairs going up, and the steps were full of holes. A depression.

It was meal time, and there was a choking smell of oily smoke in the corridor. He sniffed uncomfortably, and suddenly felt that even the air was greasy.

301, 302, 303.

Ji Yifan stopped in his tracks.

In front of him was a dilapidated wooden door, on which the three Arabic numerals 303 were written crookedly in white paint.

12

Ji Yifan knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded.

Just when he was about to give up and leave, there was a door opening behind him.

Xu Jin opened half of the door, revealing half of her pale face.

He lost a whole circle of weight, his lips were pale, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know how long he hadn't eaten.

Ji Yifan straightened his face: "You said, if you give me back my life, does it still count?"

Xu Jin raised her head and looked at Ji Yifan calmly.

Ji Yifan looked directly into his eyes.

These eyes are bright and clear, but they are forcibly covered with a lingering haze.

……

The life of co-rental is plain to say, but there are many barriers between the two.Not close, not even acquaintances.

Ji Yifan stood at the door of the kitchen, recalling what he had said while standing in that dilapidated corridor.

"Move in and live with me."

"Live until I get tired of it."

"I won't let you die, you have to live forever."

"Take care of your body, eat when you are hungry, see a doctor when you are sick, don't stay up late, don't drink too much, and don't give up on yourself."

Xu Jin passed Ji Yifan with a simple fried egg white porridge.

Ji Yifan pretended to be nonchalant and opened the refrigerator.

Xu Jin stopped at the dining table and stopped Ji Yifan who was drinking ice water and was about to go upstairs to change.

"If you don't mind, let's go together."

Ji Yifan smiled and sat down on the chair.

Xu Jin brought the bowls and chopsticks, and gave Ji Yifan a big bowl of porridge.

It can be seen that it was specially cooked for two people.

"I will come back later tonight." Xu Jin said.

Ji Yifan gulped down the porridge, then nodded.

They are used to reporting to the police, first started by Ji Yifan, he sometimes has to go on a business trip, and he always goes out for several days in a row.

Slowly, Xu Jin would also tell Ji Yifan when she came back late or didn't come back because of something.

Similar to how family members get along.

When Ji Yifan got home at night, the house was really dark.

He turned on the light and went into the kitchen to get himself something to eat for dinner.

After eating, I sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for Xu Jin.

Xu Jin came back around eleven o'clock in the evening.Two young colleagues carried him back with his shoulders. Seeing that he lived in such a magnificent house, they kept checking whether he had gone the wrong way.

As soon as Ji Yifan took Xu Jin, half of Xu Jin's body limply leaned into his arms.

He had no choice but to half hug and half drag Xu Jin to the sofa, let him lie flat, and then wrung out a hot towel to wipe his face.

Xu Jin was very obedient at first, but slowly he began to cry and mutter something.

Ji Yifan couldn't hear clearly, so he leaned closer to identify carefully, and found that he kept saying sorry.

Ji Yifan put down the towel and pulled Xu Jin into his arms.

Xu Jin has been crying intermittently, soaking a large area of ​​Ji Yifan's shirt.

"It's not your fault." Ji Yifan stroked the back of Xu Jin's head, and finally said this sentence.

Whether it's Xu Jin's wife or Zhixue, it's not Xu Jin's fault.

When unfortunate things happen, those who survive will live in self-blame for the rest of their lives, but this should not be the case.

Life is moving forward, some haze makes people painful, but people cannot live in pain forever.

come out.

Get out into the sun.

Ji Yifan failed to tell Zhixue this sentence, but now, he said this sentence to Xu Jin.

The days are long, long, and they still have time.
