“Curious where the photo came from?”
It was already night, and perhaps out of consideration for the old man's eyes, the lights in the house were not too bright, but instead showed an unexpected sense of age.
Shi Rui helped Mr. Lin to a chair on the side, and after he sat down, he made a gesture to walk towards the door.
Just as he turned around, he was stopped by the old man, "Come together, there's nothing to hide."
As he spoke, he pointed to the two chairs opposite him, looked at the two people who sat down obediently on them, and revealed his first satisfied smile of the night.
"To be honest, I bought these photos from other people." Old Lin pushed the three photos on the table towards the two of them and said.
"Beijing was in turmoil at the time, and it took a long time for this photo to reach me."
Yu Zhi felt that she had completely lost the ability to think about what the old man said, and could only stare blankly at the photo that was pushed in front of her.
She seemed to be able to vaguely remember what she was doing during each photo shoot.
But at this moment, I didn't dare to pick it up and look at it closely.
Under the table, Shi Rui held the girl's already cold hand tightly, silently giving her strength.
"The past is over, don't dwell on it too much...Ms. Yu Zhi."
Yu Zhi raised her head abruptly, completely unable to control her emotions.
But the old man seemed not to notice, as if he wanted to explain everything at once.
"I recognized you the first time I saw you. Even if it's only been a few decades, or even a hundred years, I wouldn't be wrong."
"Do you still remember the little boy on the street that winter?"
The memories from long ago had been tangled into a ball that could not be untangled, but for some reason, Yu Zhi immediately remembered the scene at that time almost the moment the other party finished speaking.
What followed was a huge shock...
It is said that true death is being completely forgotten by the world.
But for nearly a hundred years, there is actually someone in this vast world who can always remember her. How rare is this?
All the pores on her body stood up, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Ever since she came to this era, she always had a sense of unreality, as if everything was just a dream that would never come true.
And it was precisely because of this feeling that she subconsciously never stopped searching for her connection with this world, or the fact that there really was a person named Yu Zhi in this world.
At this moment, the proof of all this was right before his eyes.
Verbal narration is far less intuitive and shocking than real facts.
At that moment, she couldn't tell what emotion she was feeling.
Is it joy, surprise, or the relief of surviving a disaster?
In the end, the little girl could only stare blankly and slowly uttered to the person in front of her: "Thank you."
Mr. Lin waved his hand with a magnanimous expression, still wearing that familiar smile. He said, "I was also shocked at first, and it took me a while to accept the truth."
Realizing that the girl beside him had lost the ability to answer, Shi Rui took over the conversation: "Yes, everything is unreal."
The old man stopped talking and just looked at him quietly, with a look of understanding and calmness in his eyes.
After a while, Yu Zhi gradually recovered and asked, "What about the Yu family after that..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted, "It's been so long, does it still matter?"
Does it still matter?
Yu Zhi lowered her head and thought carefully for a few seconds, and then for some reason, she seemed to suddenly feel relieved.
Yes, nearly a hundred years have passed, and the Yu family compound may have been buried in dust long ago.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
