What is life?
From the time you are born and cry loudly, your mother will hold you in her arms and protect you tenderly, fearing that you will be hurt in the slightest.
When you open your eyes curiously and look at the world, the first thing you see is your parents. They always laugh and tease you, and tell you words you still don’t understand.
When you go to school, your father and mother will wait for you at the school gate.
They may occasionally scold you for not living up to expectations, criticize you for being bad here or there, and compare you with so-and-so’s children, but they will always love you.
By middle school, you started to have girls you secretly liked.
Facing the girl you like, it is inevitable to feel inferior and timid.
Have you ever tried to muster up the courage to talk to a girl you have a crush on? Even if you say a word to that girl, you will start to fantasize about whether she will like you for a long time?
After graduation, you are separated, all over the world.
With better luck, you will be with the girl you like, and the lover will eventually get married.
But the world is more about parting.
You each went to college, entered the society, worked nine to five jobs, and received a salary of several thousand yuan a month.
You may meet a girl you like, or you both think the other person is good, so you have a relationship that feels like a love affair.
You get married and have children, and you start to worry about your children and start running around for their children's illness, study and growth.
When your children grow up, you will also grow old.
Under the setting sun, you hold each other's hands and walk on the green grass. Occasionally, you will notice the envious eyes of young people looking at you.
When you look back at the past, your life was ordinary, maybe with a few ups and downs, but mostly ordinary happiness.
Lu Mingfei thought about such a life countless times.
He thought, if he had not chosen to leave with Nono in the cinema, and had not opened another door to the world, would the world have been different and not so painful?
He may be a little regretful that he couldn't be with the girl he had a crush on, but will he meet another ordinary girl in the future and live an ordinary and happy life?
But, there are not many ifs in life.
He fled into Siberia desperately, and then was sent away by Lu Mingze like a lost dog.
After stumbling and stopping, he returned to the same place, back here.
Lu Mingfei had forgotten how long it had been since he had a good sleep.
Don't be prepared, even if the world is about to end.
Lu Mingfei closed his eyes and fell into the snow by himself, buried by the wind and snow.
Being buried in the snow, the body's warmth would slowly drain away, and eventually it would become numb and lose consciousness.
But Lu Mingfei didn't feel this way.
He only felt warm all over, as if he was lying in the soft Simmons.
Will there be Simmons in the snowstorm?
Lu Mingfei didn't know, he only knew that there seemed to be a hand touching his face and speaking softly in his ear.
Lu Mingfei couldn't hear clearly what the other party said, but he felt that the other party was so gentle, which made his tense heartstrings relax.
His body began to gain strength, his eyelids moved, and Lu Mingfei opened his eyes gently.
This is a ward.
The light in the room was dim, and he was lying on the bed, covered with a white quilt, and a hanging bottle hanging next to him.
There was a woman sitting on the stool next to the bed.
Lu Mingfei was stunned when he saw that woman.
"Son, son, you're awake!"
"Doctor, doctor!" The woman looked at Lu Mingfei who was staring at her and was stunned for a moment. She quickly reacted and shouted loudly.
Looking at the anxious woman, Lu Mingfei's eyes were sore and he hugged the woman tightly.
"Mom." His voice was choked, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Lu Mingfei felt that he was strong enough.
He thought all his tears had been drained.
He went back to the past and tried his best to do what he could.
Until he came back here again and saw this woman again, his heart began to throb violently.
It seems like just yesterday, he watched this woman die in his arms, and there was nothing he could do.
That kind of regret, that kind of pain, that kind of despair made him feel like he was facing an abyss.
He hated himself for being incompetent, hated himself for being cowardly, and even more hated himself for not having enough strength to protect those who loved him and the people he loved.
Jovini was stunned for a moment.
"It's okay, it's okay, mom is here, everything is over." Qiao Weini hugged Lu Mingfei and patted Lu Mingfei's back gently.
"Mom knows that you have suffered a lot. Mom knows that you have a lot of grievances. It's because you didn't take good care of you that we won't be separated from now on." Qiao Weini said softly.
Lu Mingfei didn't say anything, but hugged her tighter.
His sadness and grievance were not because of himself, but because of Qiao Weini.
When Lu Mingfei knew a little bit about what Qiao Weni had done and weaved lies to him, Lu Mingfei thought that he would be alienated from Qiao Weini and be wary of her.
He even thought that when he saw Qiao Weini again, he would loudly ask Qiao Weini why she did this and why she lied to him?
But when he really saw Qiao Weini and his mother again, all the barriers and all the wariness were so fragile.
He will never forget that it was his mother who helped him escape from here and died by gunfire.
His mother died to protect him.
"Mom, I will protect you." Lu Mingfei's voice was hoarse.
"Silly boy, Mom is not old yet, so who will it be for you to protect her?" Qiao Weini let go of Lu Mingfei and said domineeringly, "Do you think Mom's cannonballs are vegetarian?"
"Who dares to mess with my son, I will feed him missiles!"
When Qiao Weini spoke, she had a dash of heroic demeanor, and she must have been a man of great influence back then.
While the two were talking, doctors and nurses in white uniforms hurried into the ward.
They measured Lu Mingfei's temperature and heartbeat, and also checked various conditions such as the body's muscle tissue.
"How's it going?" Qiao Weini asked, looking at the doctor who was recording the data.
The doctor glanced at Qiao Weini, and his iron-gray eyes under the mask were calm with a hint of surprise, "The physical fitness is good, it can even be said to be excellent. After being buried in the snow for so long, there is no frostbite. It can be called It’s a miracle.”
"Basically, it's nothing serious. If you're worried, you can rest for two days." The doctor added, then closed the record and left the ward with the nurse.
Their pace is hurried, as if they are fighting for every minute and every second, or maybe the people who work here are like this.
It wasn't until the doctor left the ward that Lu Mingfei realized what he was doing and looked up at Qiao Weini, "Mom, besides me, did you find anyone else?"
He, Eri Yi, Nono, and Zero were all separated in the snowstorm.
He couldn't be the only one who entered the Nibelungen, right?
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open by a man.
The man walked in. His hair was somewhat gray, he wore thick plastic-rimmed glasses, and there were many wrinkles visible at the corners of his eyes.
He is such a clear and elegant man, with a hint of dignity in his calm eyes.
"Those people, are they a girl named Eli Yi and a girl named Nuonuo?" Lu Lincheng came to the bedside and sat down, took out an apple from his pocket and handed it to Lu Mingfei,
"Here, apples are more valuable than gold."
