"What is it?" Jiang Yansheng hesitated for a moment. She reached out to pick up the thing on the ground, but Yu Zhouzhou pushed her away.
The thing that fell out of the cardboard box was a photo frame.
There were two pink bears hugging each other tightly in the lower left corner. They looked very sweet.
Now, the photo frame fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"It's nothing important." Yu Zhouzhou's expression was calm. She stared at the thing lying quietly among the glass shards on the ground. She was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she smiled self-deprecatingly. "There are glass shards on the ground. Don't pick them up."
Jiang Yansheng frowned slightly. She looked at Yu Zhouzhou and said that the shards were very dangerous. She even reached out to pick up the photo as if she was not afraid of being pricked.
The glass shards fell to the ground, and finally, the person in the photo was revealed.
It was a photo of Yu Zhouzhou and Fu Minglang.
She did not know when the photo was taken, but judging from their appearance and hairstyle, it should have been taken a long time ago.
Yu Zhouzhou still had her bangs and natural black hair color. There was no makeup on her clean face, and there was a shy smile on her face. Fu Minglang, who was standing next to her, was not facing the camera. The blurred pixels could not hide the boy's handsome face.
There was a yellow and white band-aid on the bridge of his nose. He did not look happy at all. Instead, he looked a little impatient.
Although impatient, Fu Minglang still carefully placed his hand on Yu Zhouzhou's shoulder, looking very protective.
"This is the first time we took a photo." Yu Zhouzhou held the photo and looked at it quietly for a while. She sniffled, and her nose became redder in the cold wind. "Six years ago, it was very expensive to take photos, and he didn't have the money. I paid for it … It seemed to hurt his self-esteem a little."
Because Yu Zhouzhou did not cry, Jiang Yansheng thought that she was not crying.
"So that's what I was like back then, an ugly and stupid bumpkin who didn't know how to dress up in school. That's why I was targeted by those students. Why do you think he fell for me?"
Yu Zhouzhou's lips curled into a smile. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Yansheng gently. "Yansheng, why was I so silly back then? If I have the money, I might as well take a photo with you. At least you're still by my side now. "
Jiang Yansheng was slightly stunned. She looked at Yu Zhouzhou and did not know what to say. She wanted to comfort him, but Yu Zhouzhou did not seem to be sad.
She patted Yu Zhouzhou's shoulder. "I've always been by your side. There's no need to take pictures."
Only those who felt that they couldn't be kept would want to leave some traces behind at all times. Only then would they be able to remind themselves that they once had something.
"Anyway, it's all in the past." Yu Zhouzhou buried her head in the cardboard box that was half the height of a person and rummaged for a long time before she found a lighter.
She stood by the side of the road with one hand protecting the head of the lighter. She rubbed it several times, but the flame did not light up.
On the fourth try, there was only a weak flickering flame.
Yu Zhouzhou held the corner of the photo in one hand and raised it in the air. She slowly lit it with a small flame. She was very patient. The quality of the photo was very good, and it was not easy for it to burn completely.
After about ten minutes, when the photo was about to burn her hand, Yu Zhouzhou finally let go.
The moment she let go, she let out a sigh of relief.
There was only a pile of black powder left on the ground, and it scattered when the wind blew.
"Did you put it down?" Jiang Yansheng stood by the side while rubbing her hands. She put her hand, which had already warmed up, on Yu Zhouzhou's ear. "Are you cold? Look at your eyes. They're red from the cold. "
Yu Zhouzhou raised her head and looked at her with a very bright smile. "I'm really not cold. I even feel my body warming up now. Yesterday, I covered myself with two blankets in the hotel, but I still felt cold."
"It's okay. I have a lot of blankets at home. When you sleep with me, I guarantee you won't feel cold." Jiang Yansheng said with a smile. She took advantage of the moment when Yu Zhouzhou was distracted to snatch the cardboard box from her hand and stuffed it into the trunk in one go.
Looking at Yu Zhouzhou, who had been hugging her for a long time, she was tired.
When Jiang Yansheng drove, she deliberately slowed down. From the rearview mirror, she saw that Yu Zhouzhou's face was pale as he leaned against the glass with his eyes closed. She did not know if he had fallen asleep or not.
She pursed her lips and looked again, and happened to meet Yu Zhouzhou's eyes.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zhouzhou opened her eyes and seemed to have become energetic again. She leaned against the window and asked softly, "Do you want to ask me about Fu Minglang?"
Jiang Yansheng had been depressed in her heart. She was afraid that if she said it out loud, Yu Zhouzhou would feel bad. Last night on the phone, she cried so hard for the first time in more than 20 years.
Jiang Yansheng looked at the constantly flashing red light, and her eyes were dim. "It's okay. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. "
Yu Zhouzhou cleared her throat, and her voice was much clearer than before. She touched the tip of her nose. "It's not a big deal."
"I quarreled with Fu Minglang over big and small things. It wasn't one or two things that caused us to break up. It was just the straw that broke the camel's back."
"I called you when I was at the park last time, right?" Yu Zhouzhou no longer leaned against the soft cushion. She straightened her back and leaned closer to Jiang Yansheng. "I met someone who seemed to be trying to rob me in the park last time …"
Jiang Yansheng frowned and quickly interrupted her. "I know that time."
It was not just a robbery. After that, in the hospital, Yu Zhouzhou's clothes were almost torn apart. She knew that those people did not just want to rob her.
"What happened that time?" Jiang Yansheng frowned and asked in a low voice, "Didn't Fu Minglang save you that time?"
Fu Minglang was seriously injured. The two of them originally quarreled over the incident at the bar, but they reconciled because of Fu Minglang's heroic act of saving the damsel in distress.
Why did Yu Zhouzhou mention this?
Yu Zhouzhou had a complicated look in her eyes as she said, "Yes, he did save me, but he was the one who hired those robbers."
"He was the one who directed and acted out the heroic act of saving the damsel in distress."
Jiang Yansheng turned around in shock. She could not believe what she had just heard.
The red light turned green. When the cars behind saw that Jiang Yansheng's car was not moving, they started to honk impatiently. Jiang Yansheng's foot was a little heavy as he stepped on the clutch.
"How did you know …?" She licked her dry lips. She still could not believe that Fu Minglang, who had been with Yu Zhouzhou for so long, would do such a stupid thing.
Yu Zhouzhou smiled disapprovingly. "I was just suspicious at first. At that time, I thought that the group of people repeatedly confirmed my name when they saw me, so they must have come deliberately. At that time, I thought that it was my parents' enemies from the company who wanted to kidnap me, but their methods were really … despicable. "
When he said the last three words, Yu Zhouzhou gritted his teeth. He wanted to bite these people to pieces.
"These two days, we moved to the rented house. Fu Minglang is not at home. A few days ago, his' brother 'came to borrow money from him." Yu Zhouzhou smiled faintly. "His' brother 'didn't expect that the person who opened the door was me. When I saw that person's face, it was unforgettable. It was one of the people I saw in the park."
"I used a little trick. This kind of gangster almost knelt down and told me the truth at that time. He said that Fu Minglang wanted to put on a show for me in order to reconcile with me, and then he would appear at the right time."
Yu Zhouzhou's eyes were cold. "How could I forget that when you and I redeemed him from Muse, he was targeted because of something he did. He always thought of some clever things to cheat …"
After learning the truth, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.
In fact, she was not just sad.
She was even a little aggrieved.
She had been dating her boyfriend for so many years. She had always looked at him with the best filters, but he always used big and small things to erase all her confidence in him.
In the end, all the filters were smoothed out.
Only then did she realize that he was a rotten person.
Hearing that Yu Zhouzhou's voice was a little tearful again, Jiang Yansheng slammed on the brakes, took out a few pieces of paper, and handed them to him.
"Give me your phone."
Yu Zhouzhou took the paper, wiped his nose, and asked in a muffled voice, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yansheng coughed lightly. "I thought you broke up with him because you were angry again, but now it seems that it's better to break up with this kind of person as soon as possible."
"If you can't bear to delete his contact information, give it to me and I'll delete it for you."
"I know you remember his phone number. Even if he calls in the future, don't answer it."
The cold phone was put in her hand. Jiang Yansheng lowered his head and quickly found Fu Minglang's contact information. With a gentle swipe of his finger, the contact information disappeared from Yu Zhouzhou's phone.
"Yansheng, I feel that my mood seems to be much better now."
After all the things that had been piling up were said, it was like a ray of light slowly penetrating a room full of junk, and the accumulated frustration was all swept away.
"After moving, I want to get a haircut." Yu Zhouzhou's tone was relaxed and bright.
Jiang Yansheng turned the rearview mirror over and looked at Yu Zhouzhou's expression. He found that her good mood was not fake. While sighing that women's sadness came and went as fast as the tide, he softly said, "Mm."
…
When she parked the car, Yu Zhouzhou was waiting by the side, stomping his feet.
"Yansheng, it's a little cold." Yu Zhouzhou tilted his head. Along the way, even if there was a heater in the car, he could still clearly feel the cold wind.
"I didn't bring too many clothes in the car. I'll be fine after I get in." Jiang Yansheng deftly moved Yu Zhouzhou's large and small cardboard boxes out one by one. Then he carried them with both hands and walked forward with his long legs.
"I even called my mom yesterday." Yu Zhouzhou followed closely behind her with his things in his arms. He couldn't stop talking.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door of the underground parking lot opened.
