Everyone's story was different, just like there were no two identical leaves in this world.

This spring came a little later than usual. It was already February, but there were still no birds or grass. The wind was still as sharp as knives.

The night was falling, the night was falling, and the cold wind outside the window was howling like the whimpers of a grieving woman. Warmth slowly walked out of his daughter's room. Looking at the time, he saw that it was already nine o'clock in the evening. She quietly paced around in the living room with the light shining brightly, her lonely shadow in the light. At this moment, she heard the phone in her bedroom ring, and was overjoyed. She guessed that the caller must be her husband, so she ran into the room in a few strides, and the moment she picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, her happy heart immediately sank. It turned out that the call wasn't from her husband, but from her cousin, Li Yunxia, as she warmly pressed the answer button, "Yunxia, why are you calling me so late?" Warm to his cousin on the other end of the phone was very gentle. There was a brief moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Li Yunxia's sharp and clear voice came, "Sis, may I ask if my brother-in-law is home?" Hearing this, Warmth was slightly startled. He said that your brother-in-law has been on a business trip for three days and will only be back tomorrow at noon. Do you have any business with him?

"Sis, are you sure my brother-in-law is still out in the country?" Li Yunxia asked with an incredulous tone.

Warmth smiled and said that of course he was sure. Why would you ask that?

Li Yunxia pondered for a moment before continuing, "Sis, let me tell you something. Don't be in such a hurry."

Warmth hurriedly said, "Hurry up and say it, I'm not in a hurry. You are usually a very nimble person, how come you started swallowing and spitting today?" Her warm face still wore the calm expression of a mirror as she held the phone and quietly listened to what Li Yunxia had to say.

When I was driving out of the residential complex, I saw a man and a woman getting out of a red Fiat car. They then walked towards the third building on the east side of the residential complex, arm in arm. That man is my brother-in-law.

After Li Yunxia finished speaking, she was as shocked as if she was thunderbolt in a clear sky. The phone in her hand almost fell to the ground, "Yunxia, Yunxia, you're not wrong, perhaps this is a person who looks very similar to your brother-in-law." How could Warmth believe what Yunxia said was true? She did not believe it.

"Although the light is a bit dim, I can still see clearly that the man is my brother-in-law. No matter the posture when walking, or the outline and back view, he's the same as my brother-in-law, Ye Ningyuan. Unless he has a twin brother, there's no mistake." Li Yunxia's tone was very firm. It was so firm that it caused warmth to feel like it made one's heart jump.

She didn't believe it was true, but hearing her cousin's words, she couldn't help but doubt her own trust in her husband, "Sis, what's wrong with you?" Li Yunxia, who was on the other end of the phone, hurriedly asked when she saw that there was no response from him for a long time.

Warmth tried his best to compose himself and calmly said, "If you have nothing else to say, I will hang up first."

After a long time, she slowly picked up the phone and pressed a number that she was not familiar with. The phone was connected, but it was still a warm ringtone, "Because of Love", and even though it was already connected, no one answered, the warmth could only be dialed again, and for the second time, for the third time, on the fourth time, she finally heard a voice that was magnetic and gentle like the wind, "Warm you call so late?" From the phone, Warm could hear the rapid breathing in the other person's voice, as if he had just been doing some strenuous exercise. The hand holding Hua Ting was trembling. After a long while, only then did he spit out a single sentence, "It's nothing. I just missed you a little." Since there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up. I'll be going back tomorrow afternoon. Before Warmth could react, she had already hung up. A heart-wrenching busy tone came from her phone. The other party's phone was already turned off. The moment she put down the phone, warm tears silently rolled down her face.

"..."

When Ye Ningyuan called her warmly, he was in bed with Chen Yujiao. After hanging up the warm phone, he tossed the phone to the side. Chen Yu Jiao, who was in his embrace, casually turned off the phone.

"From now on, you're not allowed to eavesdrop on my phone calls." Ye Ningyuan pinched Chen Yu and gently ordered.

Chen Yu laughed tenderly and said that whoever was eavesdropping would not be able to hear her at such a close distance.

There were very few stars tonight, and the bare sky was so lonely.

When she saw that her daughter had gone to bed, she put on her thick coat and walked out of the house. The cold wind was like a knife, and it stung her skin. She went to a broken taxi on the street, and after she got on the car, the driver asked her where she was going. After a moment of silence, she mumbled, "I'm going to the Scenic Spot." She felt the urge to cry again, but the ninja she was trying so hard didn't want to be seen by the driver, afraid of being asked.

About 20 minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Scenic Spot's entrance. Warmth got out of the car, paid the driver, and slowly walked towards the residential complex.

Step by step, she walked into this place called the Scenic Spot and found the third building on the east side that Li Yunxia had mentioned. She quietly stood downstairs and raised her head to look at the bright lights on the upper floor. Her heart ached as she looked at the light from the window upstairs. Perhaps there was someone in that light who was her husband and her lover. She just stood there quietly, looking at the lights upstairs, letting the tears fall like the rain. It was already night time, there was no one by her side anymore, she could just cry in the darkness, no one could see her sorry state, no one could ask her for the reason.

After a long time, she slowly walked out of the scenic area and sat down in a quiet place nearby. The cement steps were bone-chilling cold, but at this moment, she couldn't feel the warmth anymore, as if her entire body's nerves were numb. She took out her phone and called Ye Ningyuan again, but the cold voice still said, "Sorry, the phone you're calling has been turned off, please try again later, it's the same again and again." Warmth felt that she had never been as lonely as she was at this moment. Although she didn't completely believe that Ye Ning Yuan was in this district's room, his impatience and the number of times she switched off the phone made her think randomly.

He had been married to Ye Ningyuan for ten years, while his daughter was only eight years old. They were acquainted on a blind date. Ye Ningyuan was five years older than Warm. At that time, he was just an ordinary civil servant, and Warm was just a newspaper editor with a lyricist.

There were two reasons why Warmth chose Ye Ningyuan. First, his outline was somewhat similar to his first love, Xiao Jue. Warmth and Xiao Jue were childhood friends.

Because of Xiao Jue's outstanding performance in the wrong, in order to not delay Xiao Jue's future prospects and let him stay in peace, he warmly took the initiative to break up. From then on, they once again became friends or siblings.

After that, he went to military school, but he was fated to have no fate with Warm One in the south and one in the north. Warmth At the age of twenty-three, because her family forced her to marry, she went on a blind date, and as a result, met Ye Ningyuan, who was five years older than her.

Although Ye Ningyuan looked somewhat similar to Xiao Jue, their personalities were completely different. Xiao Jue was reserved and serious, while Ye Ningyu's personality was lively and lively, and he loved to be widespread. Although he wasn't doting and warm like Xiao Jue, he still brought warmth, happiness, and gratitude.

In a blink of an eye, 10 years had passed and Ye Ningyuan had already gone from a small civil servant to sit at the Deputy Chief of the SARFT. He was no longer as young, and his face was now as warm as jade, showing traces of being devoid of emotion. Meanwhile, Ye Ningyuan had also allowed her to go from an ordinary woman to an esteemed official's wife step by step.

Ten years of marriage. They were no longer young, and the years had given men maturity and charm, but the women had given them old age and withering.

Ever since he married Ning Yuan, he had left his job at the newspaper office. At home, he worked as a freelance writer while accepting invitations from some record companies to write lyrics for famous singers.

She had thought that her days would be peaceful and warm, but who would have thought that a phone call from her cousin would break all the beauty?

The past was bright and faded, the memories were faintly discernible. Warmth filled his heart as he silently wept.

When she returned home, it was already eleven at night. She opened up her daughter's room, and it was already nighttime. In her dreams, there was a faint smile on her face. It was quiet and beautiful like a blooming water lily.

After coming out of her daughter's room, she closed the living room door and fumbled her way back to her room. Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, she turned on the radio on her cell phone.
