If I hadn't taken that path...
If we had never met before...
There are not so many ifs in life...
In the autumn when I was 17 years old, Chen Yu, who was 1.9 Meters tall, threw a basketball into my arms and gave me the sweaty keys: "Lin Wei, you will take care of my future from now on."
At that time, I was just a student in a high school in the county town. I was born in an ordinary family. My parents passed away early and I was living with my grandma. He was born in a cadre family and transferred to our school. He immediately occupied the position of the eldest son of the school.
He and I were two parallel lines. We were not in the same world. Our meeting was an accident...
I thought that by holding on to this key, I could hold on to the dream of "taking grandma to Beijing" and hold on to the sweetness of a lifetime.
But later——
Grandma passed away from a stroke. I burned the note "I will be good to you forever" written by her in high school before her death. He was moving to a new home with Su Qing;
My son's fever reached 40 degrees. I held him in the hospital and cried until he was dehydrated. He said, "Su Qing is afraid of the dark, I have to accompany her";
The child lost all his hair during chemotherapy, and the little blue hat I knitted was still warm, and he said, "We are just a pure friendship" in Su Qing's lipstick mark;
Until my son died in my arms, he finally came, followed by Su Qing with her pregnant belly.
He said, "I'm sorry, I can't leave this child without a father."
Only then did I understand how hot basketball was at the age of 17, but how cold my heart became later on; my name was on the real estate certificate he gave me, but he never gave me a stable home for a day.
Finally, I returned to the old home in the county town. When the wind blew through my clothes, I finally understood:
There is no if in life?
