Meet You
December 30, 2101, Tuesday, cloudy.
My name is Yun Xiaowan, I’m thirteen years old, and I’m currently in the first grade of junior high school at Beicheng No. 1 Middle School.
Speaking of Chuyi...the ragdoll cat in my brother's house is called Chuyi. It's a furry ball and so cute!
Maybe it’s because pets resemble their owners, my brother likes me very much, and Chuyi and Maotai also like to play with me very much.
But Brother Qi is an exception. The kittens and puppies who are usually well-behaved and obedient will get angry without any warning when they see Brother Qi.
This situation happened on the first day I arrived at Brother Ling's house. Now three years have passed, and Chuyi and Maotai are still very unfriendly to Brother Qi.
Brother Qi said that Moutai is a cotton dog, well-behaved, quiet and very cute. Even people like Brother Ling who are afraid of dogs like it very much.
Aunt Cheng said that these two little guys are just like me, good and well-behaved children.
Of course, they would be a little rebellious in front of Brother Qi.
In my memory, the only time they would act like spoiled brats and roll around in front of Brother Qi to show how much they missed him was on the first day Brother Qi and Brother Ling came back from school.
Aunt Cheng said that we are each other's family now, and it is normal to think about each other every day.
I do miss them every day, but luckily they will be back tomorrow.
The last time I saw them was during the National Day holiday. It’s been a few months since we last met. I wonder if they could notice that I’ve grown a little taller.
Aunt Yunren said that fortunately Brother Qi and Brother Ling were in the same university, otherwise they would probably both become sick with lovesickness.
That's right, when the two people looked at each other, their eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and anyone who saw them would comment that they were dazzling.
Even Uncle Qi laughed and said that the two of them were like a couple who did not have a happy ending in their previous life, and it seemed that no matter how much they loved each other in this life, it was not enough.
So everyone was saying that Brother Ling and Brother Qi would definitely get married after graduation.
The other day I asked Brother Qi, who would marry whom between you two in the future? Brother Qi said without hesitation, "He will marry."
I turned to look at Brother Ling, but before I could even open my mouth to confirm, Brother Qi said, "Because the one who's getting married doesn't need to be picked up."
This caused a look of surprise on his brother's face, as if he was surprised by his certainty: "How did you know that's what I was thinking?"
…
See, it’s no wonder that these two people can’t live without each other. They already understand each other to this extent. I would be the same.
But in the future I would like to find a boyfriend like Brother Yun.
My brother Ling once asked me, "What's that Brother Yun's name? Do you still remember it?"
I said of course I remember, Brother Yun had told me a long time ago that his name was Yun Shui, the "Yun" of white cloud, the "Yun" of muddy waters...
“…”
I fell silent at this point, the smile on my face quickly disappeared, and when I turned around, I found that the expressions of the other two people were more interesting than the other.
The silence between the three of them was deafening. Brother Qi, who was standing by, said after a long while, "Everyone has hearing problems or their words slip. Ask again next time we meet."
...I didn't respond, thinking that Brother Yun and I hadn't seen each other for seven years, and even if we met again now, we would just pass by each other.
But I didn't have to see him. I just wanted to know if the scar on his hand had healed, or if he had any new wounds on his wrist later.
Because I now understand what an injury there could mean.
Sister Yi once said that he was busy overcoming the tribulation for a while, and I also want to know whether he succeeded in overcoming the tribulation.
Speaking of Sister Yi... now I know why I won’t be able to see Sister Yi again in the future.
Because just as Brother Ling said back then—Zhou Yuyi is no longer here.
She and Brother Yinglian are no longer in this world, so of course we can't see them.
Fortunately, we are still here, willing to accompany Aunt Cheng on behalf of Sister Yi and the others.
Aunt Cheng once told me that she wanted to go on a long trip, the kind that wouldn't come back for seven or eight years.
I asked her why, and she said she was too mean and didn't want to see your brother grow older year by year, and eventually become a year older than her daughter who died young.
"Sister Yi won't like your idea." I told her firmly.
She didn't answer at that time, just wiped her eyes and turned away.
I don't know if Aunt Cheng still has this idea now, but I heard her humming a little tune while busy in the kitchen. She must be preparing a sumptuous meal for the people who will come back tomorrow.
Aunt Cheng's phone on the table lit up. I stopped writing and looked at it, and saw a WeChat Moments reminder displayed at the top of the screen.
I clicked on the reminder out of curiosity, and what caught my eye was a photo of two people holding hands.
The two hands in the photo are slender and white, and the two rings deliberately exposed on the fingers are so bright that people can't take their eyes off them.
Brother Ling also captioned this photo with just a few words, but every word was deeply engraved in the mind of others.
【I am lucky to meet you again in this life. 】
I stared at the line of words for a while, finally turned off my phone and continued to write in my diary.
You said that you were lucky to meet me again in this life, but you are not the only one who is lucky...
Because we are lucky too.
How lucky I am to meet you here.

The main text is over.
The four seasons have passed in a flash, and who knows how many regrets will be hurriedly taken away by the dead into the desolate grave; our fate has not yet ended, and who can be sure that we will not meet again in another world.
It is the uninterrupted fate that gives this reincarnation its unique meaning.
