In the spring when Wen Muli turned eighteen, he received a relic from his mother.
Not long after she was born, Lin Weixi left. The Wen family raised her and rarely mentioned her mother. But Wen Jin never said a bad word about her - every time Mu Li asked, he just remained silent. That kind of silence is not avoidance, but some words cannot be said.
The diary was sent by Lu Jiaying. Wen Jin handed it over to her. The title page reads: My name is Lin Weixi.
She turned to the first page and saw her name. Mu Li. The junction of sunset and dawn, the darkest time. There was a line of lightly crossed out handwriting at the back - she looked at the light to identify it for a long time. Year after year. Peaceful years and years.
It turns out she came back and peeked twice. Once at five years old and once at ten years old. Once through the iron railing, once she picked up the painting she dropped on the ground. The painting says "Mom" and the word is crooked.
It turns out her code name comes from a movie. The little girl in the movie still believes that she is a princess even in the most difficult time.
She turned to the last page. That line of writing is very light:
"Tell Mu Li that mother loves her."
She closed the diary and flipped through it again. Only then did I see a line of lighter words at the end——
"If I could do it all over again, I would still choose this path. I'm just sorry that it took you so long to search."
Wen Muli sat there and didn't move for a long time.
Later she was admitted to the Public Security University. On the day of graduation, I walked into the Wall of Heroes, stood in front of the three characters "Lin Weixi", and gave a standard salute. With the approval of the organization, she applied for the same number in the police section where her mother was located. 18. Year after year.
The journey she has not finished, I will walk for her.
The morning dew is still there. It's almost dawn.
Every year during Qingming Festival, there is always a bunch of lisianthus in the cemetery. The person who sends flowers never leaves his name. On a certain page of the diary, there is a piece of withered flower petals many years ago - it was the flower Wen Jin gave her for the first time when she was young, and the color has long been indistinguishable.
Intention: She died before dawn, but dawn has something to do with her.
