Hanwen City is a rainy city. When the plum rain season comes, the rain always drizzles.

This is a two-story single-door courtyard, an old house with a very contemporary feel.

Although the house was big, it was empty inside and the windows were not closed properly.

The rain hit the bay window, and the rain spilled in, splashing the curtains beside it.

It feels like a haunted house.

However, there is a master in the room.

He sat quietly on the sofa watching TV news without turning on the lights, and today's news brought about flood prevention news.

His beard seemed to have been unshaven for a long time, his eyes were empty and unconscious, and I don’t know if he was watching the contents of the broadcast.

After two years of desperate struggle with the God of Death, Su Mo's wife Xia Yili finally left him a few days ago.

A serious illness caused all the property that Su Mo had finally accumulated to be dispersed.

You can earn money again when you lose it, but if Yili is not with you--

He has no way to stand up anymore.

Before meeting each other, he and she had an ordinary family background and lived a simple life.

If you have to say anything, Su Mo's grades in school were pretty good, and Xia Yili was just cute.

After they met in college, they became each other's first love and got married early within two years of graduation.

The first few years after the marriage were very embarrassing days for the two.

But it is also the happiest time.

He and Xia Yili squeezed into a small rental house. Su Mo lived a nine-to-ten social life. Xia Yili got off work a lot, so she would prepare delicious meals and wait for Su Mo's return;

If there is a chance to have a holiday, they will go to watch movies and go shopping together... and occasionally they will have a luxury and travel together.

However, because both of them are introverted, even if they go out for a trip, they will not post a commemorative photo on their circle of friends.

They will only survive and treat them as their own screensaver.

With Xia Yili's cooperation in managing the family plan, the couple worked hard to save every amount of money, first helping Su Mo's father pay off the debt accumulated before.

In the end, they finally saved enough money and saved the down payment for the new house in Hanwen City.

I thought this was the beginning of a better life, but fate played a sad joke with Su Mo and drew a talisman on a verge of rest.

Su Mo's cell phone rang continuously. When Su Mo realized that he had taken the phone, the phone had already hung up.

The phone showed more than a dozen missed calls.

It's already this point.

Su Mo walked to the junction of the living room and the stairs with a slipper hanging down.

He didn't know whether to cook or sleep, but no matter what he did... he lost his original meaning.

The sound of rain still echoed in my ears.

"It would be great if we didn't meet at the beginning..."

"In this way, you don't have to suffer this kind of suffering for me."

What Iri said to him a few days before his death suddenly echoed in his ears.

At that time, Su Mo took care of Xia Yili's emotions and just comforted her not to think about it, so that she could relax her mind and recuperate.

Perhaps, this statement should be denied well at that time.

If I had denied it at that time...

Su Mo recalled many things he felt he had not done well in the past two years, and his heart was filled with regret.

A strong desire to talk filled my throat, but there was no longer a person to talk to.

He has tried his best to maintain an optimistic and strong husband image in front of his wife.

But now looking back, for the wife who was very considerate of her own thoughts, what he had done all the time was probably just futile efforts.

At this moment, Su Mo's gaze was attracted by a doll lying on the corner of the stairs.

This is a pear-shaped doll pillow, and the doll's expression is cute and cute. It lies quietly on the stairs, staring blankly at the ceiling.

How did it land in that position?

Su Mo walked up the stairs, picked up the doll pillow, and gently dusted the dust remaining on the pillow.

This was her favorite pillow during her lifetime.

If you are found thrown to the ground, you will definitely be scolded.

Su Mo's mouth suddenly raised a smile - and at this moment, he suddenly smelled a nostalgic smell.

That smell is-

Su Mo hugged the pillow tightly in his arms, then squatted in the corner of the stairs, greedily sucking the nostalgic fragrance that emanated from the pillow...

The past is in my heart.

The sound of rain is still drizzling.

This plum rainy season in Hanwen City may last for a long time, but there will always be an ending day.

But for Su Mo, this rainy season...

I'm afraid there will never be an ending day again.

Su Mo sat quietly in the corner of the room, listening to the drizzle of rain, smelling the already faint smell, and slowly closing his eyes.

...

After a while, Su Mo finally regained consciousness.

But when he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, the drizzle of rain in his ears had disappeared, replaced by the noise of cicadas. The dazzling sun shone on his face, and he realized that he was standing at the intersection of the shopping street.

He stood at the intersection for a long time and came to his senses for a long time.

The street scene feels familiar, but not exactly what he knows—

This is...Baimei County?

Where Su Mo's hometown is located.

The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrates.

Su Mo immediately subconsciously reached out to get his phone - Nozia's button press?

Not only that, the date displayed on his phone made him feel a little speechless.

June 9, 2010?

Isn’t that the day after... Isn’t it the second day after I finished the college entrance examination?

He noticed his thin white arms, and reached out and touched his cheeks.

It seems... different?

So Su Mo quickly ran to the window of the clothing store, and saw the boy reflected in the glass window with a face completely different from the original eighteen-year-old self.

This is a very popular face and can no longer be described as ordinary.

However, at this moment, the audio of the clothing store broadcasts popular songs of this era—

【I had a dream last night】

【In the dream we go back and hold hands】

【…】

【Your gray avatar won't jump anymore】

【Warm dreams turn into cold shackles】

【What can we catch if time goes backwards】

After listening to the songs full of time, tears couldn't stop overflowing from Su Mo's eyes.

He could no longer suppress his depression during this period...or, the years of his repressed emotions-

He tried hard to play a strong and positive husband in front of Yili, and had long forgotten how to cry, but this young body made him cry easily.

He cried and suddenly burst into laughter, scaring the passersby beside him to hide from a distance.

This is the 2010 Chinese city.

In 2010, the three Penguin Music giants made their "non-mainstream" songs for the first time, with their "non-mainstream" songs everywhere;

In 2010, Nozia's mobile phone empire was at its peak, and the apple that was bitten by God released their fourth generation product, marking the arrival of an era;

In 2010, the moba game that ruled the university dormitory had not yet been logged into the national server, and most netizens' understanding of e-sports players was still in the era when the human emperor ruled several years ago;

In 2010, housing prices did not swallow all the capital of a young man as they are now. Despite occasional frustration, everyone is still full of hope for the future and believes that relying on their own efforts can change their destiny;

In 2010, Su Mo and Xia Yili had not had time to meet at the intersection of their lives—

It is understandable to have the opportunity to start over and use the experience of the previous ten years and the comprehensive improvement of appearance to experience a brand new life and seek a more beautiful encounter.

It's better to say that this is the choice that normal people will make.

However, for Su Mo, he only wanted to make up for the regret that he could not protect her well.

He also hopes to dedicate his whole world to the girl named Xia Yili.
