[Uncle and Nephew Shura Field|Pry the corner|Damp and scheming uncle]
Lin Xiao first met Yu Ning when she was twenty years old.
The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was just right, and she was as beautiful as a newly blooming rose.
He was twenty-six at the time, on family leave, and stopped by to pick up his nephew Lin Yu.
Lin Yu ran out of the school gate and hugged her shoulders: "Uncle, this is my girlfriend!"
Yu Youning smiled at him: "Hello, uncle."
Lin Xiao nodded but said nothing.
That night he smoked half a pack of cigarettes, locked the secretly taken photo on his phone into a private album, and returned to the army the next day.
Later, I occasionally saw her photos from Lin Yu's circle of friends.
He clicked on it, zoomed in, read it, and closed it.
Never like, never comment.
It was unexpected to hear them arguing.
That day he went to visit Lin Yu in the company next door. Her voice came from the other end of the phone, and he could hear the grievance through the phone:
"How many days can you come back in a year? If I send ten messages and you reply to one, who am I?"
Lin Yu lowered his voice: "I'm in the army, what can I do?"
The phone was disconnected.
Lin Xiao lit a cigarette and didn't ask any questions.
But he remembered that voice, aggrieved, tired, and almost unable to hold on.
Later, he was injured on a mission and lay in the hospital for more than half a month. The doctor looked at his injured right hand and shook his head with regret.
He lay in bed thinking about many things.
Called home: "Retire from the army after your injury is healed. The company at home also needs someone to take over."
He said yes.
The blind date was arranged by the family.
His mother said: "The woman is in good condition and is six years younger than you. You go and see."
Lin Xiao went.
In the coffee shop, she sat in the corner, looking down at her phone.
The sun shone in from the window and fell on her face, just like that afternoon four years ago.
He walked over and sat down opposite her.
Yu Youning looked up and was stunned.
That face looked a lot like her ex, Lin Yu, whom she had broken up with almost half a year ago.
Lin Xiao looked at her, without explanation or greetings, he just said:
"My name is Lin Xiao."
"Lin Yu's brother-in-law."
"I've heard about your affairs."
He paused, his tone as calm as if he was talking about the weather:
"It's divided, right?"
Later
Yu Youning discovered that she could always "encounter" Lin Xiao by chance.
At the convenience store downstairs of the company, he handed over a box of strawberries: "I bought too much."
In the gym, he held dumbbells: "Are you here too?"
In the supermarket, when she was choosing ribs, Lin Xiao also walked over with a shopping cart.
"I just moved here," he said. "It's close to your work. I'll see you off on the way."
It's not that she didn't know that Lin Xiao was good to her.
But he never crossed the line, never confessed, never brought up the past.
He just delivered meals to her when she was working overtime, medicine when she was sick, and said, "Come to my place to eat, since I'm alone anyway" when she was celebrating the holidays alone.
She thought, he just means well.
Until that day.
Lin Yu finally asked for leave and rushed back overnight.
He went to her house first, but there was no one there.
WeChat has been deleted and phone calls cannot be reached.
He went to his uncle's house to ask something.
The door opened.
Yu Youning stood at the door, wearing an apron.
Lin Yu's mind went blank.
Lin Xiao walked out of the kitchen and took the spatula from Yu Ning's hand: "Go sit down."
Then he looked at Lin Yu and said calmly: "You're back? Why didn't you say anything."
Lin Yu looked at the three dishes and one soup on the dining table, and his voice became tight:
"Uncle, when will you..."
Lin Xiao interrupted him:
"Didn't you break up?"
He tilted his head to look at Yu Youning, his tone as gentle as if he was confirming the facts:
"Ning Ning, did he say he wanted to come back?"
Yu Youning was silent.
Lin Yu opened his mouth.
Lin Xiao looked at him, his eyes calm without a trace of ripples:
"Call Auntie."
"Is there a problem?"
