The autumn rain continued for more than half a month. The bed sheets in the room were cold and damp. It felt like water could be squeezed out of the palm of one's hand. It suddenly cleared up early in the morning. The long-awaited sunlight penetrated through the window and warmed people's faces. No matter how deep the dream was, it could not continue.

Lin Jia's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes. She did not expect the sunlight to be so strong. She quickly closed her eyes and calmed down for a few seconds before she completely woke up.

October 7th, the last day of the long holiday.

Outside the door, her best friend, Zeng Xiaoru, was carrying a vacuum cleaner to do the cleaning. Behind her were three orange cats, each of them eating big and fat, their fur bright and shiny. They were not afraid of the noise made by the vacuum cleaner, so they squatted in a row and stared at Zeng Xiaoru as she cleaned.

It was yet another ordinary morning. The ordinary and ordinary day was no different from the usual. Lin Jia rubbed her face and sat up. She turned her head to look at the table beside her. Her watch, phone, wallet, and a bunch of half-open roses were scattered on the table. The bright red, budding petals were sprinkled with some golden powder, revealing a gaudy beauty.

Lin Jia thought for a long time and recalled what happened yesterday.

When Senior Brother Liao asked her to meet yesterday, he held this bouquet of flowers tightly in his arms. He was so strong that he even squeezed the packaging paper outside the bouquet and wrinkled it. He was sweating while drinking coffee. He picked up a tissue and wiped it a few times. Suddenly, he knelt down at her feet. He knelt on the ground with a determined look on his face, as if he was ready to throw caution to the wind. He said, "Jiajia, marry me. I will treat you well for the rest of my life. I will hold you in my hands and keep you in my heart. I will always love you! "

Lin Jia was stunned for a moment before she put a ring on her finger. It was a platinum ring. It was a simple and elegant style, but it was a little loose when worn on the ring finger. It was as if the ring would fly away with a gentle flick of a Buddhist hand. However, it still perfectly covered the shallow white ring mark at the end of her finger. It also seemed to cover some of the memories that she had buried deep in her heart.

Lin Jia's heart suddenly tightened. At first, it was a stabbing pain, but it gradually became deeper. She only cared about tasting and actually forgot to give an answer.

Senior Brother Liao only thought that her silence was an affirmative answer. He was happy and happy. He said many times in a row that I love you so much, as if other than this one sentence, he could not find a more suitable word to express his current feelings.

He naturally did not notice the dimness and evasion in Lin Jia's eyes, much less know that. . . At that time, another person's figure appeared in Lin Jia's mind. He would never say sweet words. After being together for almost two years, he did not even say 'I like you'. Not to mention "I love you. " With such a violent emotion, she suspected that she would never be able to wait for his confession in her entire life. The truth was indeed the same. Even after the promise was made to separate him, it was still hard to figure out what he was thinking. She would never know what he was thinking in his heart.

The ringtone of the text message on his phone interrupted Lin Jia's thoughts. Senior Brother Liao was urging her again. He was in high spirits and typed very quickly. He did not care if there was any response and told Lin Jia his plan all at once.

Lin Jia read through it quickly and replied with a "Okay" word. Immediately after, Senior Brother Liao became very excited, and his speed of speaking became faster and faster.

If he was destined to marry and have children at the appropriate time like other girls, then he would have a family. Then, Senior Brother Liao would undoubtedly be the most suitable person for her. He and her had been neighbors for more than ten years, childhood sweethearts, and knew each other well. He was teaching in a nearby university. He taught sports. He was born with a good body that was comparable to an athlete. He had a gentle, friendly, diligent, and sincere personality. He was good to her and to her family. The most rare thing was that they knew everything about each other, between the two families. . . They were all filled with trust.

Although Lin Jia did not explicitly agree to it last night, she still wore the ring. Thus, Senior Brother Liao discussed with her on WeChat about when to get the certificate. When to place the wine and how many gifts to send over. He also planned to find a good day to invite the elders of the two families to have a meal together and sit down to talk about the details of the marriage. Actually, the two families had been neighbors for so many years. They had a very deep relationship, but Senior Brother Liao insisted on being formal. Give her the greatest respect.

Lin Jia felt that after a heart-wrenching pain, there was still such a sincere home as Senior Brother Liao. She should be moved, grateful, or even grateful. However, that calm and silent soul seemed to have aged a long time ago. It refused to respond and passively endured the future in front of it. It did not refuse, did not agree, and did not feel happy.

"Jiajia, later, aren't you going to try on the wedding dress? You are still in a daze. You are going to be late!" Ceng Xiaoru waved her hand in front of her eyes.

Lin Jia screamed in shock. She finally remembered that there was such a thing. She rushed into the bathroom in a panic. After ten minutes of washing up, she casually took out a coat from the cabinet and put it on. Then, she grabbed her bag and rushed out.

The yellow leaves danced in the air. Tiny rays of sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees and fell on the ground. Lin Jia couldn't get a taxi, so she could only jog along the way. Fortunately, the arranged store was only three streets away from her residence. Twenty minutes later, she was already standing in front of the wedding dress store.

In the glass window, the model was wearing a shoulder-exposed fishtail wedding dress. When the sun shone, the diamond inlaid on the wedding dress shone brightly. Lin Jia stood there. Her eyes were in a trance. Every girl would hide a grand wedding in her heart, and the wedding that she dreamed of must be dressed in the traditional dress that she had personally made. It was made with a needle and a thread. The big red guitar dress would always look happier than the western wedding dress. And the one standing beside her. . .

Lin Jia suddenly felt empty in her heart. She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to grab something, but it was empty.

"Jiajia, you are here. " Senior Brother Liao's voice appeared outside the door. He waved at her vigorously.

Lin Jia was about to return his cold but polite smile when she saw a familiar figure appear at the end of the street from the corner of her eye. Because they were too far away, she couldn't even see that person's face clearly. She could only rely on a natural familiarity as if she was certain.

She looked through the air, and time stopped.

"Jiajia, let's go in. " Senior Brother Liao noticed her strange look and followed her line of sight. Then, he quickly turned his head and spoke in a gentle tone.

Lin Jia responded softly. When Senior Brother Liao dragged her hand, she violently trembled and resisted the urge to refuse.

She felt that the gaze that fell from the sky had turned sharp.

Lin Jia took a deep breath and was unwilling to look. She lowered her head and followed behind Senior Brother Liao. Every step she took was like stepping on soft clouds.

Since she had decided to turn each other into memories, she didn't want to climb out of the depths of her memories and bewitch people's hearts.
