I go north, you go south

Chapter 25 Old Photo
The slightly bleak room in front of me is still exactly the same as Ling Bei remembered ten years ago.

That's why he doesn't want to come back: he's desperately trying to shake off that dark memory, and his mother is willing to wallow in it.

Of course, Ling Bei knew in his heart that his mother didn't know what happened to him, she was just immersed in her personal feelings.

But they never seem to be able to agree.

Ling Bei pushed the wooden door smoothly and walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor.He went straight to the door at the innermost side of the corridor, and then opened the rotary lock on the door with ease, only to hear a click, and the door was pushed open.

"I didn't expect it to work." Ling Bei murmured with a smile in surprise.

This used to be his room.There was a period of time when I was in junior high school, Ling Bei was more fascinated by things like organs.Just at that time, the child just had a sense of self-territorialism, so he fiddled with a turntable lock and installed it on the door lock. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, it can still be used.

Pushing open the door, there was no expected dust, only a room as clean and tidy as downstairs.

Ling Bei lowered his head to look at the door lock he had just opened, and then at the spotless room, and understood: "No wonder, the password for the lock is my birthday, she should be able to guess it easily."

Children's minds are simple, and the password they set is often a few strings of numbers that the family members are familiar with. How can parents not guess it.

Ling Bei didn't linger any longer, walked directly into the room, and opened the cabinet under the bookcase.A safe came into view.

But no second person will know the password of this cabinet.

After he entered the password and opened the cabinet, he found what he wanted: an old SLR camera and a file bag.

"Finally, I left it when I was moving." Ling Bei murmured softly, and carefully took out the file bag from the cabinet.

The kraft paper bag is a little old, and the pencil writing on it is so faint that it can't be read clearly. It can be seen that it has been a few years old.However, due to the careful and proper preservation, there is almost no damage.

Ling Bei opened the file bag and took out a few old photos from it.

Most of the backgrounds in the photos are on campus, which are some commemorative group photos.But unexpectedly there was a girl - Nan Zishu.

One of them is a photo taken by Liu Ying and some classmates when she went to school to see Nan Zishu.

Ling Bei looked carefully at the photos in his hand, only one of which had his own figure.But his sight can always pinpoint Nan Zishu's position in one click.There was always a gentle smile on the corner of his lips that he didn't realize.

In the end, Ling Bei carefully put the photos into a paper bag, and took them out together with the old SLR camera in the safe.Then tidy up the cabinets, get up and leave the room.

Just as Ling Bei walked out of the room and closed the door, there was a sound of pushing the door downstairs.He paused, and then heard a long-lost female voice: "Xiaobei, it's you who came back."

Ling Bei approached the railing and looked downstairs. Fang Jiaming stood at the door and looked at him against the light, with an obvious smile.Looking at his mother's haggard face all year round, Ling Bei finally walked away with a smile, but his voice was a little dry: "Mom."

"Why did you come back suddenly? It's..." Fang Jiaming smiled and nodded when he saw his son holding something in his hand: "I sometimes clean your room, but I never touch the things in it. Are you looking for Everything should be in place."

"I know. It's okay, there's nothing in it that you can't see." Ling Bei said calmly, but still with a sense of alienation: "I heard from my aunt this morning that you made an appointment to play golf together, why are you back now? "
