A new start to the sad old story

A new start to the sad old story

Lin Xiaoyi knelt down beside the bed. She had been quiet and finally collapsed. After living for more than a decade, she finally unloaded all her burdens and wept loudly at this moment. Crying tired, falling asleep, dreaming, my parents holding hands in the dream, in the golden sunlight, all three of us laughed.

The next morning, before dawn, Lin Xiaoyi got up and left without looking back. "She didn't take the photos of her parents with her, so someone so important should be kept in mind, even if in the future she will have occasional heartache due to missing her, even if the pain will rot in her heart like an ulcer..."

In the crowded railway station, on this sad occasion of seeing off and parting, Lin Xiaoyi felt relaxed and relieved. "Other people's travel bags were all dragging on the ground, while she was holding them in her arms, which surprised the people around her and of course aroused the interest of the thief.". No one knows that what Lin Xiaoyi is holding is not a simple and seemingly valuable travel bag, but an empty one. It is a love filled with love.

Lin Xiaoyi got on the train and left the city where she was born and raised. She had two houses and two homes, leaving her with only trauma and deep trauma.

On the train, Lin Xiaoyi leaned against the window, the warm sunshine made her find some comfort. Slowly, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of her mother's past. A long dream, a heartbreaking past.

It turned out that my mother had been very hard these years. First, my grandmother tried to force her to divorce and remarry, but she didn't support their marriage. In addition, after two years of marriage, my father never made any progress. Therefore, I simply waited for my mother to give birth to a child before making this decision. "My mother was pampered and pampered since childhood, and my grandmother couldn't bear to let her follow my father through a life that she almost dared not even go shopping. Although my grandmother knew that my mother deeply loved that man and loved him more than anything or even life, thinking of my mother's future, she finally set her heart hard and forced my mother to leave in tears.".

Over the years, my mother has been thinking about my father. At first, anyone introduced to my grandmother for a blind date looked down on them. Although there were many successful and handsome people among them, my mother still couldn't let go of my father and her daughter, who had just been born.

Later, my grandparents continued to exert pressure, coupled with my relatively wealthy background, and slowly began to feel that I had chosen my father as a bit naive. My mother had been struggling all the time. Later, I got drunk all night. Finally, one day, she took out her mobile phone, pulled out her SIM card, and without hesitation, broke it off, feeling a bit tipsy, Hysterically yelling, "Hello! You won't contact me after I leave... What loves me forever! I won't miss you anymore! Bad thing!" After the roar, there was a void in her heart, as if something very important had disappeared. The suffocating and uncontrollable void made her almost crazy. Under the influence of alcohol, this beautiful woman was already crazy, smashing her phone and slapping her face, The bar guard threw her directly into a dark alley outside.

As the cold wind blew, her tears finally burst the embankment.

Finally, when she stumbled home, a greater sense of emptiness struck, and she rudely took off all her clothes and fell into bed.

The next day, she frantically searched for her mobile phone again, because the wallpaper on the phone was the only photo of her and her father. However, when she finally remembered the madness of last night, she sat down in front of the mirror and looked at herself with red and swollen cheeks in the mirror, sobbing and saying, "Sorry, I didn't take good care of myself, I hurt the skin you kissed..."

Lin Xiaoyi looked at everything in her dream, and her grief came from it.

Mom's new life has begun, but everything is not as she wishes.

"The new husband is a talented person and treats her with great enthusiasm and consideration, but she is not happy, even though their combination seems envious to others.". But she became more and more accustomed to being quiet, to being alone, to talking to herself, and to gazing at the blue sky in silence. No one knew what she was thinking, perhaps because she was missing the past. Even on her wedding night, she didn't have any expression. The strange man in front of her was taking advantage of the strength of the wine to vent, but she turned her face away, with two lines of clear tears in the corners of her eyes.

Before long, some of the actions of the new husband all indicated that she had a lover outside, and finally was discovered by her mother. Although she felt more guilty than resentful towards her husband, it still made her more cautious and silent towards him. She set him free in exchange for a hint of comfort in her heart.

One day, my mother decided to come back and take a look at the previous home with my father. When she went back to her home and stole her hidden rusty keys, she opened the door of the old house. When she stood at the door, everything in front of her immediately filled her eyes with tears. She didn't expect everything at home to be the same, familiar things that always appeared in her dreams, but now it's empty and dusty. On the windowsill, only the trunk of the potted plant that she and Dad cherish so much remains, withering and falling to one side. As she approached and touched the once gorgeous and fragrant orchid, her hands trembled, and her heart withered with it.

When she opened the door and saw the split photo, she immediately felt powerless and knelt down beside the bed.

Tears dried up on her face. She stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, and quietly said, "Since we are not happy on earth, let's go somewhere else..." After that, she reached out and opened the drawer of the bedside table, looking at the still sharp scissors inside, her eyes filled with determination.

She did not hesitate to pick up the scissors, forcefully inserted them into her wrist, and cut them open... Then, she put the scissors away, picked up the photo and held it in her hand, lay down under the quilt, disregarding the dust, and fell asleep quietly.

Lin Xiaoyi speculated that Mom might be able to dream something like herself. Perhaps it was Mom who took Dad away in her dream. I just hope they can be together now and be happy.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyi smiled and leaned against the window, watching the warm golden sunlight shine all over the world, also shining in her unknown direction.

Lin Xiaoyi got off the train and stood on the platform, still holding her suitcase, gazing blankly at the bustling crowd. Holding the ticket in his mouth, he followed Long Long out of the railway station.

Standing on the edge of the square outside the railway station, looking up at the blue sky, "New, everything is new," she said to herself with a smile.

This city is the West where she is about to spend four years of her college career. Before her father left, she played steadily in the college entrance examination and successfully entered this famous university in the province. The vast campus, deep roads, dense forests, and densely spaced dormitory and teaching buildings are breathtaking. She patted the box in her arms, although there was almost nothing in the bag, and smiled and said, "Dad, look, I will start my new life here!"

Taking a taxi, Lin Xiaoyi smiled and looked out the window at the bustling city. She believed she had arrived at a very beautiful place.

"Hello, freshman? What's your major? Why didn't your parents come to see you off?" On the avenue, a boy with a sunny smile asked with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyi's face stiffened for a few seconds, but she still replied stiffly, "Oh, hello, I was admitted to the psychology department. My family was busy so I didn't come."

"Oh, can I help you? Picking up new students is my task, you're welcome, hehe." Still smiling, revealing white teeth. As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the box in Lin Xiaoyi's arms.

Lin Xiaoyi quickly leaned slightly on her side, hugging her tighter. Politely say, "Thank you, no need. Just tell me how to get there, thank you."

The boy who said this blushed a bit and said, "Er... go straight along this road until you reach the end. There is a small lake at the end. Turn left along the lake, and there is an inconspicuous teaching building there, which is the Lingye Building of the Psychological College. Not far behind is the dormitory. This department is relatively independent, with few people, and few people will pass by..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Xiaoyi chimed in and said, "I see. Thank you really. I'm going now, thank you!"

The boy stood by, watching Lin Xiaoyi's thin figure gradually recede. Then he continued, "No one went there, it's because it's said that it's not clean there. Please be careful... Oh, forget it, no one believed what you said." Then he turned and walked towards the way he came from, continuing his work.

Although the bag was light, Lin Xiaoyi's arms were still sore as she hugged her all the way. She still didn't let go and continued walking. Roadside buildings are gradually becoming scarce, and during the originally bustling opening period of school, there are few people on the road.

The road deepened and the surroundings became quieter. It was late summer, but here there were bursts of cool wind that made her tremble. In fact, she heard the boy's words just now, and they really did. At this moment, she had to say to herself, "No..."

Lin Xiaoyi stopped and looked nervously around. A road was still straight at the foot, and everything was so quiet that there was not even the sound of birds and cicadas that should have been heard endlessly. There are two chest-high trash cans on the roadside, one closed and the other open, with groups of flies flying overhead.
