She stood quietly in the distance and stared at Tong'er for several seconds, until Bo Min called Tong'er's name. Tong'er turned to look at her mother and realized that her mother had walked far away holding Miaomiao in her arms.

Tong'er immediately pulled her uncle and hurriedly caught up with her, and ran to her mother. When she turned back to look in the direction of Anjing, she only saw Anjing's back... She followed Young Master Luan, who held her hand.

Holding hands, the two people slowly walked towards the garden. The two people were like a painting, and all the people around them became the scenery, an ethereal and blurry scenery, as if only the two of them were clearly visible...

…

"Tong'er, what are you looking at?" Mom was a little curious about Tong'er who was acting abnormally tonight. She followed Tong'er's gaze, but saw nothing because the two figures in Tong'er's eyes had completely disappeared into the night.

among the colors.

"Mom, do you know Anjing?" Tong'er looked up at Mint and asked.

"Quiet? Is it a song?" Mint obviously doesn't know the names of these children.[

"No," Tong'er shook her head and replied seriously, "Just like Youyou and the others, they are from Second Young Master Luan."

Mint shook his head honestly: "Mom doesn't know, what happened to her?"

Tong'er touched her head. She originally wanted to ask her mother if she had seen Anjing. If she had seen Anjing somewhere but had forgotten it now, but it seemed that her mother had no idea who Anjing was, so she asked

The question must have been in vain. Tong'er shook her head and smiled slightly: "It's okay, mom, let's go back. Miao Miao is already asleep, so she can't catch a cold."

Mint glanced a few more times in the direction Tong'er was looking at. It was not something she had heard about for a day or two that the second son of the Luan family grew up with seven children. She also knew that Tong'er and two of them were related.

The classmates were having a good time, but was there anything worth Tong'er's repeated visits? Mint was a little more concerned. It was called quiet, right?

Tong'er followed Mint and got into her car. The car drove away slowly, and a young man not far away slowly turned his attention away.

Someone behind me called softly: "Master Shangguan, Master Shangguan wants you to go to the lobby."

The young man turned around and saw that the person who called him was the steward of the Luan family. The fact that the steward of the Luan family came to call him in person already explained the outcome of tonight's banquet. As one of the four major figures in Yunhai City,

The marriage between one of the families, the Shangguan family and the Luan family, will surely be another big news that will shock the whole country...

"Dad, Uncle Luan, Second Brother, and Miss Ninth." Shangguan Jinyu stood upright in front of her father and the eldest man of the Luan family, formally meeting her elders, brother and future second sister-in-law one by one.

"Ayu, why are you here so late?" The ordinary-looking second brother patted Shangguan Jinyu on the shoulder and asked with concern as if he were a kindly elder brother.

Shangguan Jinyu raised his eyes slightly, looked at his father and smiled slightly: "Because my mother is not feeling well, I hope Uncle Luan and my father can understand me. But fortunately, I did not miss my second brother and Miss Luan Jiu.

Congratulations on your marriage." After saying that, Shangguan Jinyu turned around and held his hands towards the two of them.

Miss Luan Jiu kept a straight face unhappily, and Mr. Shangguan also paused in embarrassment, but Mr. Luan laughed and said, "Shangguan, I don't think your third son is simple."

"He has been abroad since he was a child, and has been exposed to these foreign customs, and he is not afraid of offending people when he speaks. He has just come back, so don't take it off... Ayu, Uncle Luan, I still haven't apologized to you? You're so late.

reason!"

Shangguan Jinyu's father is not the eldest son of the Shangguan family. Although he is only the third master, the eldest son Luan is very considerate to him and directly pointed out the second daughter to the second son. It is a pity that the third son with outstanding talent and appearance is still young.

He is only fifteen years old and is in the third grade of junior high school. Otherwise, he would really not want to let this kid go. Although he is only the son of a mistress... But from the perspective of his elder, Luan, this kid will be great when he grows up.

Xia Youyou from a distance looked at this scene and said silently, turned to look at Siya and sighed loudly, she didn't expect that the bully boy in the school that day would be the third young master of the Shangguan family!

*

It was Christmas in a blink of an eye. Tong'er prepared some small gifts and brought them to school to give to Youyou and the others, including his deskmate Mu Mu. However, compared with Xia Youyou and the others' gifts, Mu Mu's gifts could only be regarded as

Just an ordinary small gift.

During the lunch break, Tong'er carried her schoolbag and went to the cafeteria with Xia Youyou to eat first. After eating, she and Xia Youyou went to the lounge. Tong'er was already familiar with them, so entering the lounge was more like

She felt as comfortable as entering the foyer of her own home, but the strange thing was that even then she never met An Jing again.

Tong'er took out the gifts one by one and handed them to Xia Youyou, Qixi, Siya and the other three boys. Everyone didn't expect that Tong'er would be so attentive and even give them Christmas gifts, even though there were still two more days of Christmas.

God, she actually thought of it.

"This scarf is so beautiful. Thank you Tong'er, you are so cute, you even gave us gifts. We don't have this custom every year, but you thought of it, how can you be so warm!" The most touching thing

None other than Xia Youyou, she is not usually such an emotional person, but she has the best relationship with Tong'er, so she is the most touched in her heart.[

Tong'er also smiled slightly after hearing Xia Youyou's heartfelt words: "Oh, you're welcome. In fact, I didn't have any friends before... so I don't know what to give. This is all my mother's advice."

It would be nice and appropriate to give girls scarves, gloves, etc.

Gifts are also a way to maintain relationships between friends, so I prepared some. Also, there are tickets to our resort and Happy City in it. If you don’t mind it... I’ll give it to you too. This is from my mother.

, she said thank you for taking care of me all the time."

Tong'er didn't know if she was doing the right thing or not, but if she didn't do it, she would never know the result. Her meaning was obvious, she wanted this friendship and to be friends with them.

Xia Youyou was moved and hugged Tong'er tightly. Surprisingly, Tong'er was a delicate and sensitive person, but her frankness and sincerity moved her deeply. She had made this friend her whole life!

"Eh? Why is there another one?" Siya saw that there was another one lying in Tong'er's schoolbag and asked in confusion, could it be...

"It's for Anjing." Tong'er immediately explained, took out the gift and handed it to Xia Youyou and asked her to hand it over, "Give it to her for me. Although I have never seen it face to face... but I took a look last time.

, I also think I should give her one."

"You are so considerate." Siya couldn't help but admire her. It was so thoughtful that they all felt ashamed.

Tong'er just smiled slightly, and the scene of the surprised glimpse of Anjing kept echoing in her mind. Time always stopped at that moment, reminding her several times that Anjing... maybe she had really seen it before,

Otherwise, why do you always feel such a strong sense of familiarity?

Although Tong'er gave Christmas gifts to a few of them, she didn't forget to give them to her sister and uncle. Even her parents had been preparing them. Xia Youyou's scarves and gloves were bought by Tong'er and belonged to her parents.

The scarf was knitted by her herself. Although they may not wear it, Tong'er wanted to wear it for the first time in her life.

The scarf was given to parents, while the one given to Xiao Miaomiao was a model manor designed by herself. It was the largest expenditure in Tong'er's pocket money. Who made Miaomiao not only face Christmas but also celebrate her birthday?

Although her birthday has passed, Tong'er has never given up on building the model manor...she wants to give her sister a surprise.

However, the manor has not yet been set up, Christmas has passed, and the gifts have not been sent out, but bad news suddenly comes to the family...

On the night of December 27th, when everyone was already asleep, the original silence was only the sound of crickets chirping in the garden, but suddenly there was a piercing ringing scream from the Zhan family house, and then...

It was her mother's cry and her father's comfort. Tong'er got up in confusion and walked to the stairs. She vaguely saw her mother sitting on the ground and collapsed in her father's arms, while her mother was still crying hoarsely.

: "Uncle...uncle..."

This is not the first time Tong'er has faced death.

When she was a child, she killed the only chicken in the family with her own hands in order to provide nutrition for her biological mother. She plucked the feathers of the chicken with tears in her eyes, but she hated herself. The chicken was given to her by her mother, and she took great care of it.

She raised the chicken like a friend, but her mother was seriously ill and her health was deteriorating day by day. Her mother's body needed to be replenished, but she had no way to go out and buy nutritional supplements for her mother. In the end, she reluctantly gave up the chicken.

He killed the chicken with his own hands... That was the first time Tong'er faced death.

Later, she sold herself to a human trafficker. She saw many cruel things in the human traffickers' den. Those friends were physically mutilated. Some of them became like that after arriving in the human traffickers' den, and some became like that before they were abandoned by their families.

, some of her friends even died in front of her because of serious illness... That was the second time Tong'er faced death.

The third time was also the cruelest one. She watched her mother die day by day. Although there was support from He's mother and Yifan's father, it was already too late. Her mother had terminal cancer and she would never recover.

She knew it. Later she held her mother's hand. Even though her mother's body had become cold, she still couldn't believe that her mother had left her forever, and she had become a person... That was Tong'er's third

Faced with death for the first time.

This time, it was my uncle and grandfather who passed away.

My uncle is a very good person. He is kind, kind, and warm. He is even more kind to juniors like them. Moreover, he often does charity and uses the money he earns to support many poor families and children. Tong

Er knows that the relationship between father, mother and uncle is very close. Mom treats uncle and uncle as her father, and uncle also treats mother as daughter. When my mother was able to regain family ties, besides sister Chun'er, uncle and uncle were the first ones.

Already...

However, as long as people are alive, they will also die.

My uncle is over eighty years old. No matter how strong his body was in the past, it could not withstand the passage of time. Two years ago, his body began to show signs of deterioration. He even coughed up blood...

He couldn't see it well, Uncle Luo went there many times himself, but every time his mother came back, she would secretly cry.

Sister Chun'er cried and fainted several times on the way back. It was her grandfather who loved her the most. How could she hold back the sadness? Because the twins were still young, they stayed at home and asked Aunt Wei to take care of them personally. Brother-in-law Li

On the way back from abroad, sister Chun'er was sad and had no one to comfort her. Mom and dad were also grieving, and dad could only comfort mom. Mom's eyes were swollen from crying.

Miaomiao also learned that her uncle who loved her had passed away. Faced with death for the first time, she also lost her usual happiness and lay in her uncle's arms at a loss.

Tong'er gently crawled to Sister Chun'er and reached out to hold her hand gently. She was also sad, but she didn't know what words of comfort she could say. It was just something that she should be numb to, so why would she still follow it?

How about shedding tears or even being sad together?

Chun'er hugged Tong'er and cried bitterly. On the way to the airport, Chun'er could only hold Tong'er to comfort herself, otherwise she really didn't know how she would be able to support herself back to Baiyang Town.[

The helicopter took them back and landed in the garden of the hotel. Chun'er and Mint got off the plane and stumbled towards the Bai family mansion. Along the way, they seemed to be able to hear the cries, howls, and...

It's a joke but it's the truth and the sadness of the facts.

"Grandpa" Chun'er was already kneeling on the ground and crying loudly before he entered the door. Mint looked blankly at the few feet of white silk at the door, and finally gradually woke up and realized...all this is true.

.

Tong'er held Miao Miao, who was crying because her mother cried, and her uncle, who frowned tightly and fell into inexplicable sadness even though he might not understand. They stood in the middle of the door. Tong'er looked at the white hanging on the door.

Ling suddenly felt so cold, so cold... This must be the coldest day in this winter. The person closest to her suddenly disappeared from this world.

Grandma said that grandpa passed away very peacefully, with a smile on his face when he died. But in fact, he should be in pain, but in order to make his children feel relaxed and relieved, he forced himself to

He smiled... His illness was already terminal. Even if the treatment didn't work, how could he not be in pain? My uncle cried hard, and her words also made my mother and everyone below whimper.

He cried bitterly.

When it got dark, grandma came back.

Staggeringly running from the door to the main hall, grandma knelt in front of her uncle and grandfather who was lying among the flowers and called her brother, saying I was sorry, and then she just shed tears and could not speak. Tong'er felt so inexplicable sadness that she couldn't even express it.

It hurts... The fear of death that she felt when her mother passed away once again invaded her. Together with Miaomiao and everyone else, she knelt in front of her uncle and grandfather, her heart was suppressed, and she could only shed tears silently on her face.

Uncle, you must be well in heaven!

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

This plot is unavoidable. Everyone will die one day. The difference is, when you die, who will truly shed tears for you and remember you forever in their hearts. My uncle will be fine in heaven...
