Ji Yuqi felt like a rootless duckweed.
In the snow-white light, it keeps going up and down, floating and sinking.
She felt like she had a very long dream.
I dreamed of myself entering the entertainment industry in Country M.
That was the second year after Lu Yanjing passed away.
When Lu Yize brought Lu Yanjing's ashes back to Country Z, he also took away the house with flowers in the yard.
She did not argue with Lu Yize.
He just knelt silently in the golden sunset that slanted into the room at dusk, slowly packing his suitcase.
For a long time afterwards, she took Pei Nianzhi to various major cities in Country M to seek medical treatment.
Unable to pay the rent, she was repeatedly evicted.
In the coldest year in Country M, after winter came, the boiling city was covered with huge white snow every day.
It was snowing when Ji Yuqi was kicked out of the dilapidated wooden attic by the landlord.
The falling snowflakes seemed to be about to drown the entire city.
Ji Yuqi walked in the thick snow, like a lonely ghost, on the deserted streets.
She carefully hid the thin and small Pei Nianzhi in her large down jacket, holding him like her own precious baby, fearing that he would get cold and then get sick.
She goes to the hospital at six o'clock every morning to queue up for a number.
A full month.
I finally managed to get an appointment with the top cardiac surgeon at the Children's Hospital.
She had collected enough money for the hospital admission.
Just three days later, I took Pei Nianzhi to the hospital for treatment.
This way, even if she had to stay in the hospital corridor, she would have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
However, she was caught by the landlord.
She was clearly in the house, but she didn't turn on the lights or the heating.
He didn't even dare to let Pei Nianzhi cry.
She didn't know where to take Pei Nianzhi to survive this snowstorm.
She thought she and Pei Nianzhi would freeze to death in such a cold night.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the bridge across the wide moat in the distance, with its many archways. When she paused and hesitated whether to get under one of the archways, a black car suddenly stopped in front of her.
Then, she saw Ji Fengran and Su Ya sitting in the car.
Ji Fengran's brows were furrowed tightly.
Su Ya scolded beside her: "It's snowing so heavily, why don't you stay at your husband's house and run around with the child?!"
Ji Yuqi was a little confused.
Seeing Ji Fengran get out of the car with an umbrella and walk towards her, Su Ya felt distressed and quickly asked her to get in the car.
Ji Yuqi didn't know why he was crying so miserably.
Especially when she heard Ji Fengran asking her in a gloomy voice if her husband bullied her.
Ji Yuqi's uncontrollable tears were like beads that had broken off the string.
It is said that a woman has many identities in her life, such as daughter, wife, and mother. Daughter is the easiest to be, but she is the least qualified one.
Ji Yuqi had thought that if time could go back, she would never marry, never raise children, and just be a good daughter to her parents, accompanying them for the rest of their lives.
She thought she would never have another chance.
But unexpectedly, Ji Fengran and Su Ya were still alive and well.
Ji Fengran and Su Ya took her back to Beidai Mountain.
The scene changed.
It happened to be New Year’s Eve.
She accompanied Su Ya in the kitchen, busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
Su Ya kept urging her to go out, saying that the kitchen was full of smoke and she could cook by herself.
Ji Yuqi lowered his brows and kept making dumplings.
While wrapping, he whispered "Mom Suya" over and over again.
Su Ya was so happy to hear her mother calling her over and over again: "Mom, just call me once, aren't you tired of calling me all the time?!"
In the dream, Ji Yuqi didn't know why. Su Ya was clearly standing in front of her, but she felt that Su Ya was very far away from her. The words "But I haven't called you mom for a long time" were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
Preparations for the New Year’s Eve dinner are nearing completion.
Su Ya asked Ji Yuqi to call Ji Fengran and ask him when he would come back for dinner.
But Ji Fengran’s phone call was unreachable.
It's raining outside.
Ji Yuqi took an umbrella and went to wait at the gate of Beidaishan.
There have been many servants in the past.
Everyone asked her politely: "Miss, what are you doing standing here?!"
Ji Yuqi replied happily, "Waiting for my dad to have dinner."
Ji Yuqi almost forgot that when she was very young, every time Ji Fengran came back from a business trip, she would stand at the gate to greet him.
Whenever she saw Ji Fengran's car from afar, she would immediately rush over happily.
And ever since she met Pei Yucheng, she seemed to have never waited for Ji Fengran again.
As she waited patiently with her umbrella, someone suddenly said, "Didn't you watch the news? Your father and mother have jumped to their deaths."
Ji Yuqi was stunned where he stood.
When she ran back to Beidaishan, the house that was exactly the same as the one in her memory had turned into a ruin overgrown with weeds in an instant.
Ji Yuqi cried and looked everywhere for Ji Fengran and Su Ya.
While looking for them, she sobbed, "Mom and Dad, can you accompany me to have a New Year's Eve dinner? It has been a long time since you have eaten a New Year's Eve dinner with me. Can you come back? Xiao Qi will never make you angry again..."
When Ji Yuqi was searching for them almost frantically, Su Ya's voice seemed to come faintly from the air.
She said, "Xiao Qi, you can't stay with mom and dad anymore. You should go back."
