"Is it beautiful when it snows?" Zhang Ruochu asked on the phone.

"Ah, have you never seen snow?" Xiang Yang was surprised.

"I've seen it! But in my memory, it's very cold when it snows, and that feeling makes people desperate!"

"You won't feel it anymore."

"Why?"

"Because I will accompany you in the future, we will not feel cold when we hold hands together," Xiang Yang replied, "When you come in a few days, we will build snowmen together, and then make an appointment with Zhao Gaoming and Liu Yitong to have a snowball fight together."

After a while of silence, Zhang Ruochu agreed, "Okay, but you have to give in to me then."

"By the way," she continued to talk, "How are your family all right?"

Xiang Yang frowned immediately, and his tone became much deeper, "My mother's condition is getting worse and worse. Now she must be locked in the room."

"Sorry, you can spend more time with her during the holidays." Zhang Ruochu comforted.

"Well, I will, then when will you come to see me? If my mother sees you, maybe her condition will get better."

"Ah!" Zhang Ruochu's surprised voice came from the phone, "I want to see my parents! Then I don't want to find you."

Xiangyang's face darkened, "I'm just saying it, it depends on you. You can see it if you want to see it, and you can't see it if you don't want to see it."

"Let's talk about it then."

"Hey, Zhang Ruochu, you promised me, you can't change your mind." Xiang Yang said anxiously.

What made him even more anxious was that Zhang Ruochu immediately hung up the phone.

Then, she lay on the bed she knew, and Xiangyang gradually fell asleep.

When Wu Jiao woke up, he took out his cell phone and found that Zhang Ruochu sent him another message an hour ago - "Silly, don't worry, I will definitely go find you, you are my boyfriend."

When I saw this last sentence, Xiang Yang was full of joy.

After savoring the kiss he had with Zhang Ruochu last night, he got out of bed and walked out of the room. When he came to the living room, he immediately rushed to his parents' room after hearing his mother's crying.

Since his father had locked the door, he had to force the door to break open.

After rushing into his parents' room, he followed the crying and found Xiang's mother hiding in the cabinet.

"Mom!" He looked at his mother sadly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Xiang Yang!" Mom looked up at Xiang Yang, then grabbed his hand excitedly, "My mother saw your sister just now and saw her running into the cabinet!"

Xiang Yang showed helplessness and said with a sad face: "Mom, sister."

"Mom didn't lie to you, really, Xiang Yang, Mom didn't lie to you, do you believe Mom is okay?"

Facing his mother's begging eyes, Xiang Yang couldn't bear to refute, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then mom, you come out first and let me go in and find you for you."

"Okay, come and look for me, and you must help me find my sister."

After Xiang's mother walked out of the closet, in order to calm her emotions, Xiang Yang had to get into the closet.

"How is it? Have you seen your sister?"

"Your sister is the best at playing hide-and-seek, you must find her."

Three minutes later, Xiang Yang came out of the cabinet, shook his head and said, "Mom, I can't find it!"

"Impossible!" Xiang's mother's emotions became depressed in an instant. "I saw her hiding in the cabinet with my own eyes, how could she not find it?"

"I guess she escaped while we were not paying attention and hid in another place. Mom, don't you tell me all of it yourself, sister can play hide-and-seek."

"Yes," nodded to my mother, "Then you can continue looking for it quickly, and you must help me find my sister."

"Don't worry, mom, I will definitely find my sister!" Xiang Yang promised her that this sentence was sincere.

In the evening, Xiang's father came back from get off work and not long after entering the door, he found that the door lock in his room was broken.

"Why is this door lock broken?" Xiang Dad asked.

After thinking about it, Xiang Yang had to tell the truth about what happened in the afternoon.

"Nothing!" Xiang Dad was very angry, "Xiang Yang, your mom is crazy, why are you crazy with her?"

"Dad, my mother was very unstable at that time, and I also wanted to stabilize her emotions."

"What she needs to do most now is to accept the facts, not stabilize her emotions. I asked the doctor, and now she can still bear it when she accepts the facts. If she continues to drag on it like this, she will know the facts again, and then her heart will be completely destroyed." Xiang Dad's face turned red and his ears were equatorial.

"Dad, give mom some time. Don't worry, I won't go anywhere during the winter vacation, just stay with her at home. After her mood improves, we will try to let her accept this fact." Xiang Yang suggested.

After hesitating for a long time, he lamented to his father, and sighed: "Just follow you. Thank you for your hard work during this period. Your mother is in a state of unstable condition. You must always look forward to her."

"Okay, Dad, don't worry!"

In the next half month, as promised to his father, Xiang Yang stayed at home with his mother every day. Even if his classmate who had a good time in high school had asked him, he refused.

With his company and care, Xiang's mother was in a good and stable mental state. She no longer cried and said she wanted to find your sister, and the topic was not limited to her. Especially after hearing Xiang Yang that she had a girlfriend in college, Xiang's mother rarely smiled and wanted Xiang Yang to show her the photo of Zhang Ruochu.

After seeing Zhang Ruochu's photo, Xiang's mother praised her for her good-looking appearance, and told Xiang Yang not to bully girls, nor to waste her studies because of falling in love.

In addition, my mother also did housework again. Gradually, Xiangyang saw the shadow of her mother's gentle and hardworking past, and also saw the hope that her mother could recover completely.

In the afternoon, after a heavy snowfall, the outside world was as clean as ever.

Suddenly, I heard my mother say she hadn't gone out for a long time, and thought that her mother was in a stable mood recently, Xiang Yang decided to take her mother out for a walk without her father's consent.

As soon as she walked downstairs of her house, Xiang Yang held her mother's hand tightly.

"Xiang Yang, why are you holding your mother's hand?"

"Mom, the road is slippery in the snow!" Xiang Yang explained.

Mom smiled, "What a child who never grows up!"

Xiangyang felt warm in his heart. Unexpectedly, his mother thought he was afraid that he would fall and held her hand. This made him feel like he had changed back to the little boy back then.

Then, Xiangyang accompanied his mother to a big circle on the street near his home, passed the elementary school where Xiangyang had attended, the intersection of the farmers' market, and the park where his parents often took him and his sister to play when he was a child.

Thinking of his carefree childhood, Xiang Yangduo hopes that time can go back to the past, at least before his sister disappeared.

As we walked, the two of us ushered in the sunset.

Watching the setting sunlight fall on my mother's haggard face, Xiang Yang said, "Mom, Dad is coming back, it's time for us to go home to cook."

"Okay!" Mom agreed.

However, when the two returned to the street below the building, a No. 7 bus drove past them, the mother exclaimed: "Xiaoxin, Xiangyang, I saw Xiaoxin!"
