What Xie Qiao hugged was nothing but air. He stared blankly at his empty hands, his mind blank.
He found that when he was really sad, he couldn't cry, the blood gushing from his heart dripped down to the ground.
I can't tell whose blood it is.
His throat was sore, he resisted the soreness in his chest, bent down very slowly, and numbly picked up the ring.
The ring is still there.
The person who gave the ring was gone.
In December, the first snow of winter fell in the border town.
On cold snowy nights, many people said that they dreamed that their deceased relatives were saying goodbye to them, and they all died of fog.
Only Xie Qiao knew that this was a silent gift from the planet.
The declining planet gradually regained its vitality, and it collected scattered souls little by little, causing the dead to fall into the nether world.
In the darkness, he saw familiar faces one by one, Wu Yue, Chen Ruoshuang, Gu Chengduo, Xiao Ziqi...
But I didn't see Mr. Yu.
Xie Qiao slowly clenched his hands.
In the spring of the following year, there was a small restaurant beside the Yu's Building.
Not long after Bai Li applied for a job in this restaurant, he heard that the boss is a retired actor, and he is very good-looking.
He didn't believe it at first, but he saw the young man wearing an apron, his skin was as white as soft cream, and there were shallow pear dimples.
His face immediately turned red, and he stammered, "Hi, boss."
The young man just nodded slightly.
After staying in the store for a long time, he gradually understood the temperament of his boss. He is good-looking, but he doesn't like to laugh or talk, but he likes gems very much.
It is said that all the money was used to buy gems. There is a room full of gems, and there will be no money at the end of the month.
But what puzzles him is that every time the boss cooks an extra meal, he has never seen his partner even though he is wearing a wedding ring.
He later heard from the boss's friend Li Ze that he found out that the boss' partner was dead.
"Sitting in the attic for fourteen days, the wound was still bleeding, the blood flowed all over the floor, and no one was allowed to come near me. I almost thought he was going to die too. Fortunately, No. 15 came down by himself."
Bai Li knew that this was euphemistically telling himself that he had no chance, and advised him to keep his distance.
He let out a long breath and walked outside the door. A kitten appeared outside the door with a letter in its mouth.
He took the letter and looked at the recipient.
—— Xie Qiao.
He took the letter and walked into the restaurant: "Boss, I have your letter."
Xie Qiao took off his apron and took the envelope from Bai Li. The moment he saw the letter, his whole hand was shaking.
"Closed for one day."
He gave Bai Li some instructions, turned around and left the restaurant.
He returned to Dongshan Manor.
He hasn't been back for a long time. Although there is a black cat to take care of him, he has lost a little energy and looks particularly depressed.
He went upstairs and stopped in front of Mr. Yu's room.
He actually couldn't remember how he spent those fourteen days. Akers described him as if he had lost half of his life, sitting on the floor blankly, his whole body was empty, his chest pain was unbearable, and his heart was still there. Jumping, but feeling like I'm dead.
In fact, he didn't even want the remaining half of his life at that time, but when he thought that his life was bought by Mr. Yu, he told himself to be calm and survive, and to live extremely carefully.
It was a long time before he opened the door.
Dust had already accumulated on the chair, he sat on the sofa indifferently, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the letter.
The first sentence at the beginning is——
to my partner.
The moment he saw the words, he squeezed the letter paper tightly, revealing the forbearance in his heart.
After a while, his eyes slowly moved down, and there were two lines of thin and sharp words written in the center of the letter:
I can't quite understand the meaning of writing a letter, but I am willing to do meaningless things with you.Before I came to the ground, I had never seen the sun, never felt the temperature of the sun, but I didn't feel it was a pity, because——
You are my sun.
Seeing the last sentence, Xie Qiao was stunned, and when she regained her senses, a tear slipped down her lips unknowingly.
is bitter.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear Mr. Yu calling his name.
And when he turned around abruptly, there was nothing but an empty room.
After a long time, he lowered his head and carefully folded the letter.
——Incredibly precious.
It was already the second day when Bai Li saw the boss came back, and the boss hadn't smiled for two days in a row, so he mustered up the courage to ask.
"Boss, tomorrow is your birthday, do you want to go out and play?" He nervously clenched his sleeves tightly.
"Sorry, it's not my birthday." The young man said calmly.
But Bai Li could clearly see that the light in the boss's eyes had dimmed, and his thin back was trembling faintly, exuding an aura of fragile porcelain from the inside out.
He let out a helpless "Oh" and didn't mention it again.
Xie Qiao didn't notice Bai Li's thoughts. After closing the shop, he changed into his uniform and walked home with his lunch box.
Small stones sit in the living room carved stone statues.
Because he is in charge of the Netherworld, ghosts dare not get close, and even his stone statue sells very well, and is regarded as a fetish to drive away ghosts in the town house.
After he put the dinner for Xiaoshitou on the table, he entered his room, maybe he was too tired after a busy day, and fell asleep on the bed.
In his sleep, he felt a small snake crawling along his clothes to his chest, and the cold scales made the small piece of his skin shiver.
He thought he was dreaming again.
The next day, when he woke up from the bed, he said to the air, "Mr. Yu, good morning."
"Is there anything you want to eat today?"
There was no response in the air, and he continued as if he was used to it, "I'm going to make a small egg tart. If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent."
He put on his clothes and got out of bed, ready to put on the ring, but he glanced at the bedside cabinet and found that the ring on it last night was gone.
It was a gift that Mr. Yu didn't have time to give him.
His heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and he searched the room inside and out, but he couldn't find the ring. He didn't bother to eat breakfast, and when he put on his coat and was about to go to the restaurant to look for it, Akers stopped him.
"Don't look for it."
He pursed his lips, did not respond, and was still ready to go out until he heard Akers' next words.
"That Xiangliu came back to life."
Xie Qiao froze, her thin body was crumbling, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you talking about?"
"Who else?" Ax raised his eyebrows. "He should not be completely dead. He is recuperating in your consciousness. The power of faith collected by the stone statue is continuously collected in your body, which just nourishes him."
"Stone statue?"
Xie Qiao asked suspiciously.
Akes pointed to the small stone: "Don't look at him as a little dumb, he was the top sculptor ten thousand years ago. Your stone statue will be enshrined day after day, and it will generate the power of faith."
Little Stone heard Akes say that he was a little mute, but after thinking about it, he couldn't beat him, so he continued to knock on the stone dully.
Xie Qiao tried his best to make his voice sound stable, and asked word by word: "Where is Mr. Yu?"
"Just downstairs—"
As soon as Akes finished speaking, Xie Qiao pushed the door and walked out, not hearing Akes talking to himself: "Then if you say that, you should have recovered from your injury half a month ago."
Standing aside, Li Ze thought to himself, that haughty hydra was still a small snake half a month ago, and couldn't even transform into a human form, so how could I let Xie Qiao see it.
If it wasn't for the fear of losing his wife if he didn't come out again, he probably wouldn't come out right now.
And Xie Qiao stumbled and ran downstairs, because he was extremely anxious, and always felt that the road was so long that there was no end in sight.
Finally, when he walked to the end and saw a person, his heart suddenly rose, and he even held his breath.
The dazzling sunlight penetrated through the clouds and shone on the man's chiseled face, his heart was pounding, pounding.
Yu Hansheng walked over step by step, put a ring on his ring finger, planted a cold kiss on his forehead, and said softly, "Happy birthday."
