When Chen Xu woke up, it was almost dark and his headache was relieved, but his mouth was so dry. He got up and wanted to drink water. As soon as he sat up, he saw a cup on the cabinet at the head of the bed, and a note was pressed under it.

He took out the note and looked at it with a little light coming in from the window, "This is the sour plum water prepared by grandma for you. It is said that it can relieve alcohol. Remember to drink it when you wake up."

He smiled on his face, put the note in his pocket, picked up the cup, it was still warm, and he drank it all in one sip, and he felt much better immediately.

Putting the cup, he got up, pulled the door and walked out.

There was no light on outside, and no one was there. After going down the stairs, there was no one in the living room on the first floor, only a small night light was on.

This house was built by two uncles a few years ago. It was decorated very freshly and was not worse than the houses in the city. My grandmother was used to being frugal and often couldn't bear to turn on the lights.

There was a sound of conversation coming from the kitchen. He walked over and saw that everyone was in the kitchen. Yang Jinxia and grandmother were sitting at a low table, selecting vegetables. There was also a third aunt standing in front of the stove to cook.

"You're awake." Yang Jinxia saw him and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

"It's much better. Thank you for your sour plum water." Chen Xu said, shouting "Third Aunt."

The third aunt smiled and said, "You kid is so terrible that you don't say anything. You have such a beautiful girlfriend. Even your mother hides it, so you secretly bring it back for your grandma to see."

Chen Xu knew it was over as soon as he heard it. She must have called her mother. At night, her mother would definitely call her to ask, but he didn't know how to explain.

Drinking is really a mistake. If he hadn't been drunk, how could he have been so rash and brought Yang Jinxia to his grandmother.

Yang Jinxia, ​​who was standing beside her, explained, "San Auntie, you misunderstood. In fact, we are not in that kind of relationship."

"Is that true?" Aunt San looked at them with an ambiguous look, and Xiaoxiao said nothing.

Chen Xu could only think in a good direction. With her explanation, there was at least one reason to shirk her from her mother.

After a while, the food was ready and brought to the dining table in the living room.

Chen Xu turned on the light, turned off the night light, and began to arrange the dishes and chopsticks.

After everyone sat down, the third aunt raised a glass bottle from under the TV cabinet and asked Yang Jinxia, ​​"Do you want to drink some rice wine? This is made by Grandma Chen Xu, and it is specially made for women who are in confinement. I secretly kept two bottles."

Yang Jinxia said, "I can't drink too much."

"The degree is very low. I'll pour a little, you can try it." Aunt San took out a small cup and poured her half a cup.

Yang Jinxia picked it up and tasted it. She felt it was soft and she fell in love with it all at once and said, "Sweet and delicious."

Chen Xu reminded her, "Don't drink too much. Although the alcohol content is not high, it has a lot of potential."

Aunt San asked him, "Do you want to come some?"

"No need." Chen Xu shook his head. He had drunk too much wine today, and now he wanted to vomit when he smelled the wine.

The four of them were having a meal and chatting, and the atmosphere was very warm. Grandma seemed very happy and frequently picked up food for Chen Xu to ask him to eat more.

Before the meal was finished, Chen Xu's mother called. He put down his chopsticks and walked outside with his cell phone before he answered.

On the phone, his mother kept asking about Yang Jinxia. He took a lot of verbal talk and finally managed to deal with it. By the way, he also called and asked his mother to cancel the blind date after the New Year.

After hanging up the phone, he felt that he was so smart.

When we go home next year, we will find an excuse to say that they have broken up and the matter will be over.

He returned to the house, they had finished their meals, and the dishes were left for him. He sat down and continued to eat, and finished all the remaining dishes. Then, he took all the dishes to the kitchen.

When he finished washing the dishes, he heard Yang Jinxia's giggle and asked, "What are you talking about, so happy?"

Grandma smiled and said, "I'm looking at photos of you when you were a child."

Chen Xu saw Yang Jinxia holding an old-fashioned photo album in his hand, and couldn't help but have a toothache. The album contained photos of him before he was seven years old, and there was a lot of dark history in it.

He said helplessly, "What's so good about this?"

"It looks good." Yang Jinxia's voice was a little sweeter than usual.

Chen Xu felt something was wrong. After looking carefully, she saw a layer of blush on her fair face, and there seemed to be a shiny light in her eyes, and the smile on her face was obviously filled with a hint of drunkenness.

He asked, “How much have you drunk?”

“Not much.”

Well, it seems that he is really drunk.

"Okay, I'll take you up to rest." Chen Xu took the album in her hand and saw that the page he opened was the one he wore in open crotch pants when he was three years old.

He closed the album, put it on the table, and pulled her to stand up.

She stood up a little unsteadily, and looked a little dizzy, saying, "Grandma, third aunt, good night."

"Well, you guys should also take a break early." Grandma smiled very relieved.

The third aunt reminded, "Chen Xu, take good care of others, do you know?"

Chen Xu just pretended that he didn't hear it, and helped her up the stairs. After walking a few steps, her strength became weaker and weaker, and the entire weight was pressing on him. It was not easy to use force, so he simply picked her up horizontally.

Upstairs, he carried her to the room where he slept in the afternoon, put her on the bed, and said, "The conditions here are relatively simple, you will have a rest for one night."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Don't leave." Yang Jinxia grabbed him, her voice soft and soft, with a little coquettish sense of being like a child, "It's dark here."

He said, "Then I'll turn on the light."

This is a rural area, and there are no street lights on the roads outside. At night, if the lights are not turned on, it will be dark everywhere. It is very quiet, and you can only hear the faint sound of chirping.

"No, I want you to talk to me." She grabbed his hand and put it on her face.

Chen Xu felt that the tentacles were soft and soft, and said softly, "You are drunk." He stretched out his other hand and turned on the night light inserted on the head of the bed. The faint white light added a hazy atmosphere to the room.

Her soft hair naturally scattered on the pillow, revealing her smooth forehead. Her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of water, and under the hazy light, there was a light he had never seen before.

His heart suddenly tightened.

"Go to sleep."

After a while, he whispered softly, rubbing his thumb gently on her face.

"I'm afraid." She closed her eyes and whispered.

Chen Xu's voice was very soft and he coaxed her, "It's okay, I'm here."

She murmured, "Promise me, you must be with me all the time."

Chen Xu really wanted to say "good", but this word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't say it.

In silence, she said as if she was muttering in a dream, "I was once trapped in a cave, which was very dark, cold and quiet. I originally thought that I was dead, but later, my grandmother woke me up. I realized that I was still alive."

"After that time, I couldn't stay in a place that was too dark. If it was too quiet and there was no one around me, I would think I was dead. My grandmother was very worried, afraid that after I fell asleep one day, she would never wake up again, and would ask me to get up every day. After she fell ill, she hired someone to wake me up."

Her tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something else. Chen Xu listened, his heart seemed to be pressed on a stone, which was very heavy. He finally knew what happened to her illness in the dream.

In the room, her murmuring continued, "Until three months ago, I had a dream and dreamed of a man. When I woke up, I no longer needed someone to wake me up. I knew that it must be because of the person in the dream, and I had a reason to survive."

"When I first met you, I felt that you were him."

When Chen Xu heard this, his heart tightened, he bent down and hugged her tightly.

At some point, she had opened her eyes again, pressed her right hand on the position of his chest, feeling the powerful heartbeat, and said quietly, "I know, we are not people from the same world. We will be separated on one day. I just hope that my place will always be left here..."
