After the Stand-in Shou Faked His Death

It's snowing outside.

Qiqi waited by the car for a long time, and because he couldn't wait, he picked up the Frisbee toy next to him and ran into the garden to play.

The world of animals is very simple, and Qiqi does not understand the separation of life and death of human beings.

Even though Xu Chengyan had been away for almost a year, Qiqi would still come to the car to look for Xu Chengyan every time.

Although the maid and the housekeeper had explained it to Kiki many times, Kiki still couldn't understand it.

It only knew that Xu Chengyan didn't come this time, so he would definitely come back next time.

One day it will come.

Qiqi was still heartless, rolling around in the yard, even if he didn't wait for Xu Chengyan, he wouldn't feel sad.

In the villa, He Yang stood by the window and looked at the big dog in the yard.

He Yang habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

The cigarette **** fell at his feet, and He Yang didn't care, he just looked in the direction of the car.

Maybe he was influenced a little by Qiqi, and like Qiqi, he always looked at the car unconsciously.

It always feels like the next second, the door will be pushed open from the inside.

He Yang stared in the direction of the car door, in a trance, as if he really saw the car door being opened—

The young man got out of the car with a smile, looked up, and smiled at him.

But when He Yang took a closer look, the car was still the same as before, it was empty inside.

It's all just his fantasy.

He Yang lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

It's just that there are more and more cigarette butts and cigarette butts on the ground, all over the place.

The house was deserted and quiet.

He Yang smoked by the window alone until the arrival of the housekeeper broke the peace.

The housekeeper knocked on the door outside the house and said, "Young Master He, V brand has brought this month's new model."

The V brand is a menswear brand owned by the Ruan family. Mrs. He used to take care of it. After Mrs. He died, the V brand was also taken over by the Ruan family.

The Ruan family and the He family do not interfere with each other's business, but the Ruan family will still send a copy of the limited new V brand to the He family every time.

The housekeeper asked: "Do you still put it in the room?"

He Yang looked back and replied, "Well."

So the housekeeper arranged for the maid to bring this month's new men's clothes and put them in the cloakroom of the bedroom.

From shirts to coats and scarves... Ruan's family all sent a copy over.

And these new products are still the same as the original ones, all of Xu Chengyan's size.

The housekeeper packed up the new products, and saw the man still standing by the window, so he walked over.

Butler: "Young Master He."

He Yang looked over and asked, "Is today April Fool's Day?"

The butler replied skillfully, "There are still three months until April Fool's Day."

He Yang's face was calm, and he continued to look at the snowy scenery outside.

Outside the window, the thick layer of snow in the yard melted day by day, the temperature gradually warmed up, and the bare branches in the garden slowly grew green.

Every day, He Yang would stand by the window, holding a wooden sign in his hand, and stay alone for a long time.

The writing on the wooden sign has faded to gray, and the rope pendant on the wooden sign is also a little old, and the color is not as bright as before.

But He Yang still kept this wooden sign, never leaving his body, watching the scenery outside the window change day by day.

Until one morning in the spring, the butler came.

"Young Master He." The housekeeper reminded aloud, "April Fool's Day is here."

Mr. Xu's death day is coming.

The housekeeper looked at the man's back and asked, "Is Young Master He going to see him?"

The housekeeper didn't mention Xu Chengyan's name, he just called him "he".

After a while, He Yang responded, "En."

"Okay." The housekeeper went to make arrangements immediately.

When He Yang came outside the cemetery, it happened to be half past ten in the morning.

However, when the car stopped, He Yang did not move and continued to sit in the car.

It was still raining outside, when He Yang heard the sound of the rain, he suddenly became a little anxious and frowned slightly.

It seems that it rains every year in early April.

The cemetery was still deserted, and there were only two or three people left.

He Yang was still in the car, sitting from morning to afternoon, habitually touching the wooden sign in his hand, over and over again.

[May Mr. be safe every year]

He Yang looked at the handwriting on the wooden sign and was a little lost.

It may be that this prayer really played a role. In this year, he has not been sick.

It is only occasionally that I have insomnia, and it seems to have some auditory hallucinations.

I could always hear the phone vibrating, and Xu Chengyan's voice calling "Sir".

He Yang put the wooden sign back in his pocket, and when he raised his head, he suddenly saw Jiang Lin outside the cemetery.

Jiang Lin held an umbrella and a bunch of flowers in his arms as he walked by.

Jiang Lin looked over and recognized at a glance that the car beside him was He Yang's car.

However, Jiang Lin didn't intend to come over to reminisce, so he just looked away indifferently and entered the cemetery alone.

Jiang Lin came to the tombstone, leaned over slowly, and put the bouquet aside.

Jiang Lin looked at the black-and-white photo above and had a lot to say, but in the end he didn't say anything, just turned around and left with an umbrella.

After leaving the cemetery, Jiang Lin came to the psychological clinic.

The doctor sat opposite Jiang Lin and asked with a smile, "How are you doing recently?"

"Very good." Jiang Lin's tone was very relaxed.

The doctor chatted and said, "I saw your post last month. Did you go on a trip again?"

Jiang Lin responded and replied, "I went to Finland last month and saw the aurora."

He went to Kakslautern in Finland, lay in an igloo and saw a feast in the stars.

He also went to Sweden, to Norway…

Since graduating last summer, he has traveled a lot.

"I also collected a lot of stamps." Jiang Lin said slowly, "I bought a lot, and the suitcase couldn't fit."

"Did you go alone?" the doctor asked.

"Well, I met a lot of friends on the road." Thinking of the interesting things that happened on the road, Jiang Lin couldn't help laughing, "I met a fellow who, like me, is not used to foreign food, so he has to go to the kitchen to cook it himself every time. You will leave one for me."

"I also met a piano teacher who said that in order to find inspiration for creation, I had to run outside to blow the cold wind at night."

Jiang Lin was smiling at first, but as he spoke, Jiang Lin suddenly fell silent.

The doctor noticed Jiang Lin's mood and whispered, "Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Lin suddenly said, "I just went to the cemetery to see him."

"I miss him so much." Jiang Lin lowered his head.

Doctor: "He'll be fine in another world."

"I know." Jiang Lin nodded, "He'll be fine..."

Sister-in-law just went to another world.

He also believed that his sister-in-law would do well in a place he couldn't see.

Although he will still be sad now, he will still be sad.

But he's used to these negative emotions, and that's okay.

It's been a year since my sister-in-law left, he's used to it, and now he can talk about it with others calmly—

At least not like before, when I recalled that incident, I would break down and cry.

Jiang Lin raised his head and said slowly, "I went to Anshi a few months ago."

He went to town and met the driver's family.

The driver's wife runs a small fruit shop, and the driver's daughter is in high school.

He didn't know how to deal with the family, so he found a reason to order a large amount of goods from the fruit shop and almost emptied the fruit shop.

He still remembered that when the order was placed, the driver's wife kept smiling, and the driver's daughter also sneaked over and gave him a souvenir from an ancient town.

He also saw a group photo of the driver's family on the cashier counter in the store, and the family of three laughed happily.

"The family is really nice..."

But this family has lost a person forever.

And all of this was caused by him.

If he had spoken to hold back that morning, none of the latter would have happened.

Jiang Lin closed his eyes, relaxed for a while, and took a deep breath before continuing: "Sometimes, I still dream of the car accident."

He dreamed that his sister-in-law died in front of him, and blood splattered all over the place.

And he could only take his sister-in-law's body out of the van, holding the cold body, and there was nothing he could do.

"I really want to hug again..." Jiang Lin whispered.

He still remembers the staff telling him that when the accident happened, the people in the car hadn't died on the spot.

The deceased died because he was trapped in the car and dragged abruptly until the fuel tanker exploded.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but think, when my sister-in-law left, it would hurt a lot, right?

It must be painful to die slowly like this...

Jiang Lin's eyes were red, but he still controlled his emotions and didn't lose his temper.

If his sister-in-law was still alive, he wanted to hug again.

Just want a warm hug.

When Jiang Lin left the psychological clinic, it was already evening.

The doctor tidied up the table, took off his white coat, and was ready to go home from get off work.

Just when the doctor closed the door and turned around, he saw He Yang coming.

The doctor said helplessly: "Mr. He, I have to get off work."

He Yang: "Work overtime."

The doctor had no choice but to say, "Then my consultation fee will be doubled."

The doctor reopened the door and let He Yang in.

He Yang came to the psychological consultation room and sat on a chair.

The doctor put on a white coat and came over.

He Yang looked at the person across from him, and rarely took the initiative to say, "Today is April Fool's Day."

The doctor nodded and asked earnestly, "Does Mr. He have anything to say?"

"No." He Yang said lightly.

The doctor was a little helpless, so he had to say, "Mr. He, you always ask me if it's April Fool's Day when you come here."

Doctor: "It's finally April Fool's Day, are you still refusing to say it?"

But He Yang still didn't respond.

"Mr. He, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." The doctor sighed, "The consultation fee is settled by the hour. Don't forget, Mr. He."

After speaking, the doctor lowered his head and started sorting out the psychological consultation records.

And He Yang was opposite the table, holding the wooden sign in his hand and rubbing it.

The room fell silent, very quiet.

The doctor has also become accustomed to the way the two of them get along. After all, He Yang is like this every time he comes over, he rarely opens his mouth, he just sits here and doesn't move.

The doctor continued to organize the records, and suddenly heard a slight click.

The doctor couldn't help but look up, and saw that He Yang had a small black jewelry box in his hand, and the lid had been opened.

The box is very delicate, and the doctor can't see what is inside. It is estimated that the contents inside should not be very large. It may be accessories such as earrings or brooches and cufflinks.

And He Yang also stretched out his hand and took out the contents of the box—

A pair of diamond rings.

He Yang looked at the pair of diamond rings and held them in his palm.

"Mr. He." The doctor couldn't help asking, "Is this for someone?"

He Yang responded.

Doctor: "Who is it for?"

He Yang said slowly, "A friend."

The doctor asked, "Is it for him?"

The doctor didn't make it clear who "he" was, but He Yang could understand.

"Yeah." He Yang leaned on the back of the chair and held one of the smaller diamond rings.

"Mr. He, are you just friends?" The doctor smiled half-smilingly, "Friends don't give diamond rings."

He Yang still didn't respond, he still looked down at the diamond ring.

The doctor said slowly, "Jiang Lin is also friends with him, so Jiang Lin didn't give him a diamond ring."

He Yang: "Not a friend."

The doctor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that your boyfriend?"

He Yang fell silent, and after a while, he returned: "No."

They are neither friends nor lovers.

From the beginning to the end, they never confirmed the relationship.

The doctor asked tentatively, "Then who is he?"

The room fell silent and no one responded.

The doctor looked at the man in front of him with a headache and sighed, "Mr. He, I said it before, please don't suppress your emotions."

It has been a year since that person died.

The situation on Jiang Lin's side is much better, and Jiang Lin has slowly come out of the pain and started a new life.

But the situation of the man in front of him is very bad, everything is still the same as the beginning—

He always talks less, his face is still so indifferent, and he can't see his emotions at all.

No matter how he guided, He Yang always refused to let go, and only responded occasionally.

Seeing that He Yang had not spoken, the doctor deliberately provoked, "Mr. He, he is already dead."

"It's too late to give the ring now. Dead people can't wear rings." The doctor tore open the wound cruelly.

He Yang held the diamond ring and said slowly, "He is not dead."

Xu Chengyan is not dead.

Every night, he could hear Xu Chengyan's voice.

Whether it's an apartment, an old house, or a company...

Even in his car, there are all traces left by Xu Chengyan, and he bought a bunch of things and left them in his car.

It was as if Xu Chengyan had not left.

"He's not dead." He Yang repeated it again.

"Mr. He, it's been a year since he passed away." The doctor's tone was a bit cold, "A person can't be resurrected from the dead."

"This ring is already a year late, even if you buy it now, it's useless." The doctor looked at the diamond ring and frowned, "If you want to give it away, you should give it away earlier."

As if He Yang didn't hear it, he lowered his head and stared at the diamond ring in his hand, rubbing his fingertips against the inner ring of the ring.

After a long time, He Yang raised his head and finally said, "It's a very important person."

is a very important person.

Yes, people who like it.

But it was too late.
