"Our Tuantuan is so good!" Lin Nuan planted a kiss on Tuantuan's forehead, and promised to bring delicious cakes to Tuantuan when he came back. Then the little girl waved to Lin Nuan with teary eyes, holding back her tears.
When Lin Nuan opened the co-pilot's door, Cen Mo opened the door of the rear seat for Lin Nuan instead, and said, "Sit in the back, behind the driver's seat, it's safer!"
Lin Nuan looked at Cen Mo and nodded with a smile, without stroking Cen Mo's kindness: "Okay!"
Turning around and waving to Xiaoleibao, Lin Nuan got into the car.
Cen Mo closed the car door for Lin Nuan, and looked back at the white and tender little girl, who was full of tears and pretending to be strong, with the corners of her lips curled up, feeling so cute that it melted my heart.
It took more than 40 minutes to drive from Fu's house to the cemetery, and Cen Mo drove for an hour. The road was very slow and steady.
Lin Nuan looked at the slowly receding street scene outside the car window. The Spring Festival was coming soon, and the streets were already filled with a strong Spring Festival atmosphere.
The phone vibrated, Lin Nuan nodded and glanced, it was Lin Ran's WeChat.
[Lin Ran: Are you pregnant? !]
The corners of Lin Nuan's lips curled up, the editor replied...
[Lin Nuan: How do you know? !]
[Lin Ran: I know an actor from your crew, she secretly told me! You're not going to make it public? !]
[Lin Nuan: Keep it secret for the time being, I plan to talk to my family first before making it public.]
[Lin Ran: Then I'll keep it a secret for you, and tell your parents later.]
Lin Nuan caressed the phone screen with her slender and white fingertips, and looked up at Cen Mo in the front row: "Do you want to know about Mom and Dad?!"
Cen Mo gripped the steering wheel with both hands...
"It's just that I don't know much about my parents, but Lin Ran knows better. You want to know... I'll make an appointment with her to see if she has time."
Lin Ran, Lin Chen's biological sister, back then their biological father replaced Lin Nuan and Lin Ran, so Lin Ran was always by their parents' side all those years!
As Lin Nuan said, if you want to know what happened to your parents before they were alive, no one knows better than Lin Ran.
Cen Mo wanted to know, really wanted to know...
Back then, after losing him, what kind of life did his parents live.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then!" Cen Mo said.
Lin Nuan was slightly startled, and then smiled at Cen Mo: "We are a family, and it feels strange for you to be so polite."
The corners of Cen Mo's lips curled up when he heard Lin Nuan's words, and he responded, "Well, the family shouldn't be so polite."
Listening to Cen Mo's mellow voice with a smile, Lin Nuan thought of Cen Mo's past experiences...
I don't know if it's because the emotions of pregnancy are easy to fluctuate, or because she and Cen Mo are connected by blood and can empathize with her. Lin Nuan inexplicably felt that her heart was sour after hearing Cen Mo's words.
Cen Mo is indeed, as Song Yao said, very eager for family affection, so eager to be cautious.
Lin Nuan lowered her head and sent Lin Ran a message...
[Lin Nuan: I'm taking my brother on the way to pay homage to my parents. I want to know about my parents. I don't know much about these things. If you have time, can you take the time to make an appointment? !]
Lin Ran didn't know if she was busy, so she never replied to the message.
It wasn't until Cen Mo drove to the gate of the cemetery that Lin Nuan received Lin Ran's reply.
[Lin Ran: Are you going now? ! I've just finished my work and now I'm rushing past the cemetery.]
[Lin Nuan: It takes more than an hour to drive here from the urban area. Make an appointment at a place close to you. We will go there after paying respects to our parents.]
Soon, Lin Ran sent an address.
Because of Lin Nuan's pregnancy, Cen Mo didn't let Lin Nuan and him go up to the cemetery on foot, but called a battery car, and the two of them went up by car.
Standing in front of his parents' tombstone, Cen Mo's eyes turned red for some reason.
In the tomb in front of him are his biological parents, the parents who almost gave everything to find him after he lost it!
Seeing Lin Nuan knelt down to separate the burnt paper one by one and put them in the burnt paper barrel, Cen Mo, whose body was stiff, reacted, and quickly knelt down to help Lin Nuan separate the paper.
Cen Mo used to go to the cemetery to visit the Lu family's grandparents and parents, Lu Xiangsi. He always brought a bouquet of flowers and never burned the paper. Now he just watched Lin Nuan imitate his actions.
"Is it on fire?!" Lin Nuan asked Cen Mo.
Cen Mo took the ignition paper from Lin Nuan's hand, and said, "I'll do it!"
Soon the flames in the burning paper bucket rose high, Cen Mo protected Lin Nuan and took a step back, fearing that the flames would pick up Lin Nuan's clothes.
Looking at the tombstone through the flickering flames, Lin Nuan grabbed Cen Mo's big hand with her small hand, and said softly and roundly, "Dad, Mom... I found my brother, you can rest in peace."
Cen Mo felt Lin Nuan grab his hand, and when he heard Lin Nuan calling his brother, his body froze...
The sourness hit Cen Mo's eyes in an instant, and his vision of staring at his parents' tombstone was blurred!
His parents have been waiting for him all their lives!
He also tightly grasped Lin Nuan's little hand. The siblings... were standing in front of their biological parents, but they couldn't see them.
Their family was separated during their parents' lifetime and reunited after their parents died.
Their family has never lived together.
Cen Mo couldn't hold back his tears, even with all his might.
"Brother is living a good life now. He is married. His wife is a friend who took good care of me in college. She is a kind and righteous girl. My sister-in-law is pregnant with my brother's flesh and blood, and I am also pregnant. When they are born, you must remember to come back. Look at them!" Lin Nuan had a smile that was warmer than the sun.
Cen Mo clenched his teeth tightly, his masseter muscles were well defined, he held Lin Nuan's little hand but he didn't dare to use any force, his cautious palm was covered with fine sweat.
"Brother, call your parents! I think...they've been waiting." Lin Nuan looked sideways at Cen Mo, who was tall and leggy and tall and straight.
Cen Mo pursed his thin lips tightly, his body trembling slightly.
Lin Nuan didn't rush, just waited quietly...
After a long time, Cen Mo let go of Lin Nuan's little hand, knelt down in front of his parents' tombstone, choked up, looked at his parents' tombstone, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, I'm back."
For the last four words, Cen Mo's voice was so choked that it was ridiculous...
Sorry for only coming back now!
Sorry to keep you looking for so long!
Sorry, I couldn't make it to see you one last time!
Sorry, a good home is falling apart because of his loss!
Cen Mo propped his hands on his legs, tugged on his pants tightly, lowered his head...
Cen Mo, who had never shed tears for so many years except when he learned of Lu Xiangsi's death, knelt in front of his parents' tombstone, sobbing uncontrollably.
Lin Nuan stood beside Cen Mo, listening quietly, her eyes were red, and the corners of her lips curled into a smile, as if she saw her parents standing in front of them hand in hand!
Lin Nuan felt that there was probably nothing in this world that could make them happier than their siblings standing neatly in front of their parents!
The third change... ask for a monthly ticket!
