And you

  "I'll come see you every year from now on, so don't miss me too much."

  "Dad..."

  "I'm leaving."

  They had just returned to the car from the cemetery when a heavy rain poured down, with large raindrops hitting the window and making a loud noise. In the rearview mirror, Nie Zhiyan's eyebrows were furrowed like a bitter melon.

  She suddenly said: "Lu Yiheng, we won."

  "With such a big rain, can we open?" She looked at Lu Yiheng with anticipation, waiting for him to give an affirmative answer.

  "Nie Zhiyan," he said, turning his head to look at her. Outside the window was a thick fog, and the rainwater on the glass flowed down with a gurgling sound, making it impossible to see the scenery outside. It was as if two worlds were isolated from each other. He lowered his head to look at her, and in his eyes was her complete reflection. Nie Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard him say, "We might have to spend the night here."

  "It's 1 pm now, with such heavy rain, the car can't get down the mountain at all. Even if the rain stops, this muddy road is not dare to drive on it, so we won't be able to go back today."

  Nie's mood had turned sour, the rain was getting heavier and showed no signs of letting up, her heart gradually filled with anxiety. She said dejectedly: "Is it really going to be like this? I remember there used to be one or two households around here, can't we go ask for shelter?"

  If she stays in the car all the time, she will definitely suffocate.

  Lu Yiheng thought for a moment and said: "There used to be three families here, but two of them moved away in the past two years. There's only one left now. Let's go take a look after the rain stops."

  Nie Zhiyan looked at him strangely, the air in the car wasn't very good, and she felt dizzy, her face was red and puffy, her eyes seemed to be filled with mist, she asked: "Why do you know so much?"

  This is abnormal, Lu Yiheng actually understands this situation so well.

  "Because I come every year," he smiled, with a good-looking arc at the corner of his lips. "Every year on this day, I will come, and I thought I could meet you, but unexpectedly, not even once."

  Nie Zhiyan suddenly didn't know how to respond, he sat beside her, only three feet away, with a vast expanse of rain and fog behind him, like smoke and fire, setting off his narrow eyebrows and eyes, just as hazy as the mist.

  He said he came every year in the hope of meeting her, but never once did.

  Nie Zhiyan suddenly had an idea in her mind, which made her feel absurd and even laughable.

  She thought, he came here, maybe just to meet herself.

  She was taken aback by her own thoughts and quickly patted her face to wake herself up from those groundless speculations. She reminded herself that her father had always been a fair and honest civil servant, worthy of everyone's respect. At that time, Lu Yiheng and she were on good terms, so it wasn't strange for him to come pay his respects to her father.

  Just like she had done so many times before, running automatically and instinctively to his home to scrounge for food and drink.

  Normal, normal.

  "Thank you," Nie Zhiyan tidied up his emotions, gazing at the distant mountains outside the window with a blurry outline, and said: "There is someone who comes every year to do what should have been my job, making me, hmm, feel less guilty."

  It turned out that his father was not lonely all these years ago today.

  "Lu Yiheng, fortunately there is still you." She said softly.

  It's been a long time since I heard his voice, with a hint of smile and a sense of satisfaction, "I finally came with you after seven years."
