However, Shi Guang had no choice but to accept that this was no nightmare—it was the reality.
A cold and cruel reality!
People tended to say that time would often steal away our most beautiful moments before we even knew it.
And, the things that time did not tell one were often the cruelest and most merciless as well.
“Daddy, mummy...! I’m sorry...!” Shi Guang covered her face and cried for a long time like a child that had lost her way. It was only till the sun was setting that she stood up.
Because her legs were numb, she rubbed to try and soothe the discomfort as she sat before the tombstone for quite some time before eventually beginning her descent down the mountain. Walking for a distance, she eventually got a taxi.
However, she was still not headed home, but for the bus stop instead.
When she finally hopped for the bus headed to the county, a man that was trailing her from a distance took out his phone and made a call. “Yanchen, your wife just came down from the mountains and took a taxi to a bus stop, boarding a bus headed for the county.”
“Has she eaten?”
“No.”
“Does she have money?”
“She brought her phone. When I saw her pay for the taxi and purchase the bus ticket, it was all paid using her phone,” Fufufu, how could someone take a taxi without money ? Finally, this person understood that even the smartest of men would turn silly in the face of love.
“How does she seem to be doing?”
“Not too good. She cried for a long time before the tombstone. Do you want me to continue following her?”
“Yes. Just watch over her from a distance.”
“Alright!”
The man bought a bus ticket and boarded the same bus. Before long, the bus started moving.
...
Standing before her little auntie’s place, Shi Guang rubbed her cheeks before biting down on her lips so that she would seem more flushed and not that fatigued. When her little auntie opened the door, she was stunned. “Shi Guang! Why are you suddenly here?”
Shi Guang perked herself up and smiled. “I missed grandma, so I’m here to see her.”
Grandma was overjoyed when she heard that Shi Guang was here, and immediately pulled her to ask about how the wedding gown fitting today was. She dodged the topic and grandma did not probe further as they moved onto talking about her cousin.
Little auntie sat down as well as the three of them chatted happily. Shi Guang felt her spirits lifted slightly.
She did not know if it was because of her lightened mood or the fact that she had not eaten for quite some time, but she ate exceptionally much for dinner.
Seemed like she was really someone not suited for the sorrows.
After dinner, Shi Guang sat in the room she once shared with Mo Jin and started flipping through some photo albums of her parents and her sister. She did not know how many times she had gone through them in the past. However, her feelings back then were always blissful and warm.
But this was the first time she felt like crying while doing so.
Blinking her reddened eyes, she raised her head and looked at the ceiling.
Knock, knock.
Grandma entered the room.
Shi Guang smiled out immediately. “Grandma!”
Looking at the old photo album in her hands, grandma smiled and sat down beside her. “Missing your parents again?”
“Yupps,” Shi Guang replied softly before closing the album and putting it by her side. She then looked at grandma deeply.
“What’s wrong? Why did you head back all of a sudden? Did you quarrel with Little Chen?”
“Nopes!”
“Do you think that grandma doesn’t know what you youngsters are thinking? Visit me? That’s just a cover.” Grandma pinched at her cheeks. “You, really! Little Chen is quite a nice kid. You must cherish him and not always bully him.”
Shi Guang hugged her grandma and acted as though she was a jealous spoilt child. “Grandma! I’m your birth granddaughter! Why are you always on his side!”
