Xiao Mian stood up and smiled at the girl: "My name is Xiao Mian, the one who can't sleep day or night."
The girl quickly said, "My name is You Xiaoya, You for special, Xiao for big, and Ya for elegant."
There was a moment of stunned expression on Zhumian's face: "What's your name?"
The girl quickly said, "You Xiaoya."
You Xiaoya noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Mian's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhuomian looked into her eyes and actually saw a sense of familiarity. The director had just said that this volunteer also came from an orphanage.
Zhumian hesitated: "Do you have a sister named You Xiaomeng?"
You Xiaoya was surprised: "How do you know? My sister and I haven't seen each other since we separated when we were eight years old. She was taken away by another orphanage, and I was assigned to this one."
After confirming that the person opposite was You Xiaomeng's sister, Zhu Mian couldn't believe it, and suddenly a feeling of regret rose in his heart. Looking at her face, it was as if he saw You Xiaomeng from another time and space: "If only you had appeared two years earlier, your sister has been looking for you for a long time."
You Xiaoya didn't know how sad she was, and asked in surprise: "You know my sister?"
Meeting her happy gaze, Xiao Mian was speechless for a moment. After a long moment, he trembled and said, "She passed away two years ago."
A bolt from the blue struck You Xiaoya, and her expression changed instantly. She thought she had misheard and repeated, "Dead?"
When Zhu Mian saw You Xiaoya's expression of disbelief, a feeling of regret gripped his heart.
As long as Xiao Meng lives two more years, or even a few more months if she's lucky, she might be able to meet her biological sister.
Because Zhuomian started working as a volunteer at the welfare home shortly after Xiaomeng's death.
If I bring You Xiaomeng with me, maybe...
But nothing can be known in advance, and there is no if.
When You Xiaoya heard the bad news, her eyes instantly turned red.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time and didn't hold out hope of ever finding each other again, she was her biological sister.
Her sister's death meant that she was truly the only one left in the world from then on.
Even the blood relationship that we longed for has completely disappeared from this world.
Became a real orphan.
Xiaomian whispered, "I'm sorry to bring you bad news."
You Xiaoya's eyes were red as she continued to ask unwillingly, "Do you have any photos of my sister, or any relics or something like that? I want to see what my sister looked like in her final moments, and I want to see something related to her."
Zhuomian took out his cell phone and opened the album that he hadn't dared to open for a long time. The name of the album was "Dreaming While Sleeping".
Zhu Mian and You Xiaomeng seemed destined to be good friends.
But now I can only see her in my dreams during the day.
There are thousands of group photos in it, which shows that their relationship is really very good.
You Xiaoya looked down at the pictures one by one, tears falling on her phone, but she couldn't help but smile: "Sister is very beautiful, as beautiful as when she was a child."
Xiao Meng never thought that such an absurd and dramatic coincidence would happen. When the truth was about to be revealed, he also met Xiao Meng's sister, as if to fulfill all her long-cherished wishes.
That feeling of detachment was as if Xiao Meng had really left this world completely and had nothing to do with it anymore, so she came to say her final goodbye.
You Xiaoya choked up and said, "Sister is so beautiful, she must look beautiful when she leaves, right?"
But Xiaomian was a little hesitant to answer: "Yes..."
Seeing Zhou Mian's reaction, You Xiaoya realized something was wrong: "Does she...have an intact body?"
Daytime sleep can't deceive: "Mostly, some of it is missing. The eighteenth floor is too high. My skin and bones are all broken."
You Xiaoya's heart sank: "Did someone push her?"
Xiaomian whispered: "Yes, and no, it's because she was forced to not be able to live."
You Xiaoya's heart ached: "Is there anyone seeking justice for her?"
Xiaomian's eyes were heavy. "That's exactly what I wanted to tell you. I don't know if I can ask you for a favor. I just happened to decide to sue the person who caused her to jump off the building. However, I'm not a direct relative, so it's a bit tricky. If I sue in your name, it might go much more smoothly."
You Xiaoya immediately said, "I will do it. If it's to seek justice for my sister, I will definitely do it."
Looking at her face, Zhu Mian felt it was such a coincidence that when she was finally able to redress Xiao Meng's grievances, there was just a little obstacle. It was as if Xiao Meng was adding fuel to the fire and sending her own sister to her so that she could accomplish all this.
You Xiaoya was in a daze the whole night. Although her memories of her sister were too long ago and she didn't think about meeting her again, she was still distracted when she heard the news.
I was in a bad mood during my daytime sleep. Even though two years had passed, it was still a knot in my heart that was hard to untie when I encountered it again.
After finishing their meal and sending the children back to the welfare home, Gu Qingxu and Zhu Mian stood under the street light at the door of the welfare home, and Gu Qingxu suddenly held her hand.
Her hands were very cold.
Gu Qingxu said softly, "You are very brave. The past is hard to undo. It is a good thing that you have found your good friend's sister. Zixu will see Chang'e redressed tonight. You can still look at her sister and miss her. Her life in this world is not in vain."
Zhumian lowered his head, his voice tinged with the chill of the autumn night: "But every time I think about it, I feel regretful."
Gu Qingxu reached out and embraced her, his warm embrace completely enveloping her. The light, warm fragrance of sandalwood also carried warmth: "I will try my best to make you have fewer regrets in the future."
Closing my eyes during the daytime nap is like finding a moment of peace and tranquility to rely on.
In the welfare home, the children were laughing and playing because of their new clothes, the big meals, and the snacks they were given.
The sound can be heard from far away, but it also has the power to calm people's hearts.
