Chapter 12: The Answer Is ......

"We didn't find this person named Xu Xin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”

"Please find out, 03, and then borrow from you to go to the market to test the three highs. Xu Xin, can you check it again?"

"I'm sorry, this gentleman, we have checked the student registration information, and there is really no such person named Xu Xin. Are you mistaken?"

"Impossible, I did find Xu Xin's information somewhere in our school, and the label is also from you. ”

Early in the morning, Xue Wei drove to the high school where Xu Xin originally studied, which he found from the head teacher.

"Not really. I'm sorry, sir, we can't help you...... If there's nothing going on, I still have a job here, don't you see if it'......?"

Xue Wei reluctantly left the faculty office of this high school and walked out of its door in despair.

He still couldn't understand what it was all about. Why do all the students, even the class teacher, know that Xu Jiayi and Xu Xin are two people...... He is the only one.

Only when they came to him, but they overlapped and became the same person?

Xue Wei sat in the driver's seat of his car, didn't start for a long time, and his mind was as chaotic as mush—he thought that after returning from that business trip, everything would be over.

He enjoyed the journey for the present of a dream he had in eleven years...... He felt that everything was complete - even if this young love could not come to the end, the kiss in the mall, in order to recover some time, was enough.

Xue Wei gritted his teeth and took out his mobile phone, he asked the old squad leader for Xu Jiayi's contact information...... Perhaps, if you contact her again, you will know something.

But he hesitated for a moment, hesitating whether to call or not.

Still is...... LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HER FACEBOOK FIRST—THINKING SO, XUE WEI FINALLY OPENED THE PERSONAL PAGE THAT RECORDED XU JIAYI'S BITS AND PIECES.

On the first page, in the first photo, a selfie of a woman wearing a protective yellow helmet standing on a shoreline - the outline of this woman's face is six or seven points similar to the Xu Jiayi he remembers...... I don't want to know that she has short hair, and besides, she has gained a lot of weight.

Completely, at all, it was not Xu Jiayi that he met in the hotel when he was on a business trip...... And the time of this photo is precisely the first day of his business trip.

Xue Wei flipped down one photo at a time...... From her holding her child, to her wedding photos, to her photos with her boyfriend...... A photo of her life when she was in college abroad.

Little by little, this mother-in-law gradually turned back to the appearance of Xu Jiayi in Xue Wei's memory - what she looked like when she was in high school.

"I ...... Who the hell am I bumping into?" Xue Wei lay on the steering wheel for a long, long time.

In the end, he still mustered up the courage to make a direct phone call, international call.

“Hi!who-are-you?”

"Yes...... Xu Jiayi?"

"Ah, I am, are you ......" came the woman's confused voice over there.

"It's me, I'm Xue Wei. ”

"Ahh

The woman on the other side of the phone smiled and said, "Well, congratulations, I heard that you are about to get married, right? Well...... I'm sorry I can't leave my job here and can't attend your wedding. ”

Very polite, polite, very formulaic answers.

That feeling of alienation almost made Xue Wei feel cold in his hands and feet.

"It's nothing, you are also married and have children, and I have not blessed you. Xue Wei replied stiffly.

"Xue Wei, I'm sorry, I'm going to be busy here. The woman hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, keep in touch, OK? If you have a chance to go back to China, get together again, okay?"

Toot ——!!

......

Xue Wei went home and stayed at home alone for the whole afternoon, until it was completely dark.

He didn't turn on the lights, just turned on the TV, didn't turn the table, just watched the picture flash by frame by frame, but the memory never retained.

He didn't even know what he was seeing, and all he was thinking about was the second half of the third semester of high school.

Wan Zishan came back from work, turned on the light when she entered the door, and saw Xue Wei sitting on the sofa stupidly watching TV, but it seemed that he had no focus.

She opened her mouth, but gently put down her things, detoured to the back of the sofa, pressed her hands on Xue Wei's shoulders, and kneaded them gently for a while before lowering her head and saying, "Well, is this strength okay?"

Xue Wei reached out and patted her hand, turned around and knelt on the sofa, hugged Wan Zishan, and didn't say a word.

"Tired today?"

"I didn't go to work today. ”

"Hmm...... Got something on your mind?"

"Don't ask, just let me hold it like this...... That's how I feel real. Xue Wei said softly.

Wan Zishan smiled softly, reached out and slowly hugged his head.

They hugged each other like this for a long time, and then Xue Wei fell asleep like this and slept on the sofa.

......

During the day, Xue Wei woke up with a headache and found that he was covered with a blanket. Wan Zishan had already gone to work, but she left a rich breakfast on the table and left a note.

- Remember to eat breakfast, you didn't eat last night. I asked for leave for you at the company, saying that if you are not feeling well and tired, you should have a good rest for a day.

Xue Wei sat down, asked himself what he was worried about, and silently ate the food in front of him one bite at a time.

He found that he had been eating this woman's breakfast for four or five years. But he felt like he was staying here, and he felt guilty like never before, very embarrassed and uncomfortable...... Very uncomfortable.

He decided to take a walk in the streets.

......

Unconsciously, he still walked downstairs to Xu Jiayi's former place, and stood here staring at the empty suite for a long, long time.

Then he silently turned away, not knowing where he was going, and just walked like that...... Walking the same path he and the girl had walked for a whole semester.

Then.

"Wow, arcade, I'm going to play Street Fighter!!!" she said, waving her little fist.

Are you a girl......

"Hmm...... This rock sugar gourd is not delicious, so I won't buy it in the future!" she was angry.

I've eaten the third one......

"Xue Wei, do you think we should adopt a kitten? Build a hut here, and then come over every day after school to feed it?" she was curious.

Who's going to shovel......

"Xue Wei, do you want to treat me to a piece of cake?"

For the first time, you took the initiative to talk to me.

Xue Wei stopped, and unconsciously, walked in front of the bridal shop, and he subconsciously looked across the road...... The fences that surrounded the big banyan tree had not been torn off.

It was still overcast, and it seemed to want to rain, and it was almost six o'clock in the evening...... I walked like this for most of the day.

"It turns out that I haven't cut it yet......" Xue Wei looked at the wishing tree across the road in a daze, and could hardly see a trace of the past, only a few lonely yellow leaves and dead leaves, sparsely hanging on the blackened branches.

Xue Wei suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort.

He scurried across the road, and despite the astonishment of the passers-by, he began to dig up the earth from a few tiles under the tree, and once again dug up a treasure buried there.

He slapped the dirt off the box, opened it again, looked at the treasure, and ran down the long street.

- Xu Jiayi, I want to be with you forever!

——Xu Jiayi, what university are you going to go to...... That's a great university, but I'll give it a try! I'm going to get in!

I just want to know...... Who are you who have been with me before?

I don't want ...... I don't even know who the person I have loved so much is...... I don't want it, and when I'm old, I won't be able to remember you.

......

Jingle ——!

When the doorbell rang, Xue Wei pushed open the old door and stood in the lobby panting...... This time, it seems that the place was found sooner again.

The owner of the club seemed to be a little surprised, slowly put down the book he was looking at, and looked up: "Guest, is there something wrong?"

Xue Wei shook his head, adjusted his breathing, and walked towards Boss Luo...... If everyone doesn't know the answer, then the shopkeeper in front of you must know.

If no one can give him an answer, then the mysterious shopkeeper in front of him must be able to.

"What you arranged for me to see is not the real Xu Jiayi, right?"

Boss Luo said indifferently: "Guest, this doesn't seem to be very important. Because your request is to see that girl of your first love again, isn't it?"

"I just want to know the answer. Xue Wei said in a deep voice: "The real answer!"

Luo Qiu thought for a while, stood up, and walked in front of Xue Wei...... This made Xue Wei take a step back slightly.

Luo Qiu stopped, did not continue to approach, but said softly, "So, are you planning to buy this answer this time?"

Looking at Xue Wei's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Luo Qiu said indifferently: "I remember that the guest said that he was unwilling to remove anything that would destroy you and your wife in the future for the sake of this matter. So whether it's your longevity, your health, your emotions of any kind, you don't think it's something to sell us, right?"

Seeing that Xue Wei still didn't speak, Boss Luo then said softly: "So, are you willing to break your previous decision in order to know this answer? For the sake of an answer to the past and your own future...... How will you choose?"

It's a difficult and painful choice.

It is equivalent to putting that girl and Wan Zishan in front of him, so that he can only choose one of them.

It's so hard.

He tightened the box containing the treasure in his hand, took a deep breath and said, "I still have things to sell without affecting the future...... So happy memories of my childhood, I don't believe it's enough just to change an answer!"

"Don't you feel too much loss if you lose all the happiness of your childhood, and you will never be able to remember it in the future?" asked Boss Luo curiously.

Xue Wei said faintly: "Happy memories can be recreated...... I'm sure I can. It's just that I don't want to know that answer for the rest of my life. If you can't know...... I will never be able to face Zishan again. ”

"He is worthy of being a social person, and he is very calculating. Boss Luo smiled slightly, "So...... The contract is concluded. Guest, please come to me. ”

"...... with you"

Before Xue Wei finished speaking, he suddenly stopped what he wanted to say...... Because, he was no longer in the shop, but on the road.

"This is ......" Xue Wei looked at everything on the road in amazement, "Why did you bring me here?"

Bridal Shop ...... Wishing Tree ...... Under the tree.

"Here's what guests are looking for. Boss Luo pointed to the wishing tree, "Please press your hand on it, and I will let you know the answer." ”

Xue Wei couldn't believe the boss's words anymore, and he slowly, slowly, put his hand on the trunk of the big tree that had been scattered.

Please give me the answer.
