Lu Nan wiped Lin Yuhe's tears, left an unpacked pack of wet wipes, and walked out of the room for the time being.

He did not disturb Lin Yuhe again, allowing Lin Yuhe to listen to the rest of the audio alone.

Some things have been lost for too long, and it takes time to slowly digest and make up for them.

It wasn't until nearly two hours later that Lu Nan didn't hear any movement in the room, so he walked over and knocked lightly on the door.

He was worried about Lin Yuhe's condition.

However, just after Lu Nan knocked, the door was opened. Lin and He were standing at the door, looking as if they were just getting ready to come out.

The young man's condition looked a little embarrassing, but not too serious. His eyes were red, but the tears had been wiped away, as if he had just calmed down.

Lu Nan lowered his eyes and looked at him, then raised his hand to gently brush the hair in front of his forehead, revealing the other person's smooth forehead and wet eyelashes.

In fact, Lin Yuhe's forehead hair was not too messy. He should have tidied it up before walking out, but Lu Nan still stretched out his hand.

For Lin Yuhe, he would always make a lot of little moves uncharacteristically. It didn't make much sense, but he just wanted to touch them.

Lu Nan asked in a low voice: "Have you finished listening?"

Lin Yuhe nodded slightly: "Yes."

He was still holding the tablet in his arms: "Mom said..."

After saying just two words, Lin Yuhe couldn't hold back and shed tears.

He raised his hand and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, trying to wipe away the tears, calm down and continue talking. But he just wiped a little, and Lu Nan held his wrist.

The man looked at him disapprovingly, gently pulled his arm away, took Lin Yuhe to the sofa, and took out a wet wipe to wipe his face.

The tablet in his arms was also temporarily pulled out and put aside. Lu Nan looked at him and asked.

"Did you hear what mom wanted to say to you?"

Lin Yuhe sniffed and nodded.

"So, it's not your fault."

Lu Nan stretched out his hand to comb his hair and disperse the thin sweat from crying.

He asked like he was coaxing a child.

"right?"

Lin Yuhe tightened his thin lips, his eyelashes trembled, and tears fell again.

"good."

Lu Nan reached out and gently pulled the person into his arms.

"If you want to cry, just cry."

The boy in his arms shrugged his shoulders a few times and took a long, low breath.

The clothes on Lu Nan's chest were not wet, but there was a slight touch on his waist.

Lin Yuhe did not shed any more tears, but stretched out his hand and hugged him gently.

Lu Nan paused for a while, then lowered his head and kissed Lin Yuhe's hair.

After Lin Yuhe's emotions gradually calmed down, Lu Nan let him go, found an ice pack, wrapped it in a towel, and applied it to his eyes.

Lin Yuhe calmed down and finally remembered to ask.

"Brother, why do you have these audios?"

Lu Nan moved his fingertips, and his index and middle fingers were slightly itchy.

This is a sign that he wants to smoke.

But in the end, Lu Nan didn't do anything more. He just said calmly: "At that time, I found someone who happened to live near your home."

When Lin Yuhe was twelve years old, 22-year-old Lu Nan had already inherited the shares left by his parents. The situation was better than before, and he gradually had enough energy to pay attention to Lin Yuhe.

From that day when Lin Yuhe went out looking for the discarded tape with a pale face, the people in Lu Nan noticed this and began to secretly help him search for it.

But after Wu Xin threw away the tape, he trained Lin Yuhe for more than an hour. When Lin Yuhe could go out to look for it, the trash can had been cleared away by a passing garbage truck.

Nearly ten years have passed since these events, and Lin Yuhe still remembers them clearly. He was stunned for a while, rubbed his face, and said: "Ah... I rummaged through all the nearby trash cans at that time.

Couldn't find those tapes."

Later, it was too late, so Lin's father came out to find Lin Yuhe. He took him back first and said that he would go to the garbage station to ask about it tomorrow. The garbage station was already closed now.

Xiao Lin and He could only place their hopes until tomorrow. That night, he lay in bed and waited until early morning with his eyes open. Teenagers couldn't stay up late at first, and they would fall asleep soon without realizing it.

.

But that night, Lin Yuhe would have nightmares whenever he closed his eyes, and in the end he stayed up until dawn.

At six o'clock, as the morning light faded, Lin Yuhe wanted to get up and go to his father to ask him if the garbage station was working. But Lin's father and stepmother slept together, and Lin Yuhe could not enter their room, so he could only stay in their room.

Waiting outside, watching the clock go by second by second, each second is despairingly long.

Every second means that the tape may be destroyed at that moment.

Lin and He waited until half past eight before finally seeing Lin's father walking out of the bedroom.

He walked over anxiously to ask if he could go, but saw his stepmother also walking out.

Wu Xin turned a blind eye to him as usual, as if he disliked something dirty, and walked away from Lin Yuhe while staying far away.

But as soon as she came out, it meant that Lin Yuhe could no longer mention the tape to Lin's father. Lin's father also gently reminded Lin Yuhe to wait until his stepmother left before talking.

When the two of them were finally able to go out, it was almost ten o'clock.

That day was Sunday, so Lin Yuhe didn't have to go to school, so he had time to go out and look for them. However, this bit of luck didn't play much role. Lin Yuhe failed to find the tapes in the end, and was coaxed by Lin's father to take them home.

Father Lin wants to get home before his stepmother comes back.

Those old things have been in the past for so long that Lin Yuhe no longer has much emotion and only thinks about the tape.

"I couldn't find it at the time," he asked, "so, where was it found?"

Lu Nan said: "At the main garbage disposal station."

In the pile of garbage that is about to be thrown into the incinerator that has been started.

He didn't say much about the search process, he only said: "When I found those tapes, I had someone prepare to return them to you."

"But you never came home."

"Well." Lin Yuhe said, "I'm going to boarding school."

Because of the tape incident, Lin Yuhe was eventually ordered to transfer to a boarding school and could only go home once a month.

Lu Nan said: "Those things were finally given to Lin Feng."

But Lin and He never saw those tapes again.

He had some vague premonitions. Sure enough, Lu Jiancheng said: "But within a few days, Wu Xin discovered it."

Wu Xin was very angry when she found out that the tape had come back. She felt that Lin Feng was still thinking about his ex-wife, so she got into a big fight with Lin Feng. She threw the tape to the ground and crushed it with her feet.

In the end, Wu Xin forced Lin Feng to throw all the tapes out of the window.

Lin Yuhe didn't know about these things, he was always in the new school.

"Those tapes had been pulled out before they were thrown down. The tapes were all mixed together, and many of them were cut into pieces," Lu Nan said, "so I couldn't return them to you at that time."

The people who were injured on land could only take back the tapes and the black strips scattered on the ground, put them away for Lin Yuhe, and slowly repair the damaged tapes.

The progress of the restoration is not ideal. The tapes inside each box of tapes are not specially marked, making it difficult to re-splice them. Even if they are put together, they still need to be repaired before the sound can be released again.

It was not until the development of new audio and video transfer technology in recent years that these restoration work gradually made new progress, and until now, those tapes have not been completely sorted out.

"Now a total of fifteen audios have been transcribed, and the remaining five are still being transcribed." Lu Nan said.

At that time, my mother recorded a total of twenty birthday wishes for Lin and He, so that Lin and He could hear them when they were thirty-one years old and started a family.

Lin Yuhe looked at the tablet and then at Lu Nan.

The amount of information he received was so overwhelming that he felt incredible.

Repairing a tape that was cut to pieces - how is that possible?

But then I thought again, if it was a land disaster, Lin and He would really believe that the other party could do it.

Because Lu Nan had done too much for Lin Yuhe - he had done a full 100, so the "1" that could be seen seemed ordinary and effortless.

Lin Yuhe was stunned for a long time before finally coming back to his senses and speaking.

"Brother, have you been looking at me?"

The man stared at him with his dark eyes and responded in a low voice.

"Um."

Lin Yuhe couldn't calm down. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Then he heard Lu Nan say.

"It's my fault for following you privately."
