Xia Wennan stayed in front of his grandfather's tombstone for nearly half an hour, and only raised his head when his tears were almost dry. He found that Ming Luchuan was no longer by his side at some point. He stood up and looked around, and saw Ming Luchuan standing at the end of a row of tombstones, looking into the distance.
By this time, Xia Wennan didn't feel that Ming Luchuan was such a difficult person to get along with.
Ming Luchuan was wearing suit trousers, a white shirt on his upper body, the collar of the shirt was open, and the hem of the shirt was all tucked in the waistband of the trousers. His waist was thin and his legs were long, which was eye-catching.
Xia Wennan walked towards him, he should have noticed it, but he didn't turn his head. Until Xia Wennan stopped beside him and said to him, "Can you wait for me a little longer?"
Ming Luchuan turned to look at him.
Xia Wennan said, "I want to visit my parents again."
Ming Luchuan seemed to have a momentary hesitation, and then said: "Okay."
Xia Wennan seemed to have woken up from the shock of his grandfather's death, and his thoughts gradually became clearer. He went to buy a bouquet of flowers for his parents, sent them to their graves, knelt down and talked with them for a while.
His parents passed away very early, and all his memories of them come from a photo album at home, and then he saw the black and white photos on the tombstone when he followed his grandfather to the grave every year.
For parents who have no memory, more emotional connection comes from the nature of attachment to parents. Xia Wennan looked at the young men and women on the tombstones, and suddenly realized that he would really have no relatives in the future, so more intense sadness surged up for a long time. None of them could say a word.
It was past five o'clock in the afternoon when we left the cemetery.
Ming Luchuan went to the small supermarket to buy water, while Xia Wennan stood beside the car, looking at the empty parking lot in a daze.
A bottle of mineral water with cold water mist was handed to him, Xia Wennan subconsciously took it, saw Ming Luchuan holding another bottle of water in his hand, walked around the front of the car, opened the driver's door and sat in.
Xia Wennan looked at Ming Luchuan in a daze.
Ming Luchuan lowered the car window, looked at him and asked, "Why don't you get in the car?"
Xia Wennan asked in confusion, "Where should I go?"
Ming Luchuan glanced around. Although the sky did not darken, there were almost no one else in the cemetery except the staff. He said, "Are you planning to spend the night here?"
Xia Wennan followed his gaze and looked around, saying, "That's not the case."
Ming Luchuan said: "Don't be afraid, your grandfather will protect you."
Xia Wennan reached out and pressed the edge of the car window, "I don't want to trouble the old man."
Ming Luchuan said: "That's not in the car yet."
The car drove slowly out of the cemetery.
Sitting in the co-pilot, Xia Wennan felt a sense of unease in his heart. This kind of unease was not obvious in the hospital before, but after he met his grandfather in the cemetery and confirmed that his grandfather had passed away, it became more and more aroused.
He asked Ming Luchuan: "Where are you going now?"
Ming Luchuan asked him, "Where do you want to go?"
Xia Wennan said, "I want to go home." Having said that, he asked a little worriedly, "Is my home still there?"
Ming Luchuan remained silent for a while, and told him, "It's still there."
Xia Wennan breathed a sigh of relief.
Ming Luchuan drove away from the cemetery and headed towards the county seat. On the road, a large truck overturned and blocked half of the road. It was delayed for more than half an hour, and it was almost dark in the county seat.
Xia Wennan and his grandfather live in the dormitory of the old factory where his grandfather worked. The factory closed down many years ago, but the old house still remains.
There used to be a vegetable market nearby, which was always very lively and crowded with people. When Xia Wennan was in college, they all moved to the new market in the county seat. A shopping mall was built in the old vegetable market, and Ming Luchuan parked his car on the ground outside the shopping mall. field.
Ming Luchuan was obviously familiar with the neighborhood, which made Xia Wennan even more uneasy, as if the more familiar Ming Luchuan was, the more likely their marriage was real.
They haven't had dinner yet.
After Ming Luchuan got off the car, he went straight to a fast food restaurant on the first floor of the shopping mall. Xia Wennan stood there and looked at his back. After walking five or six meters away, Ming Luchuan stopped and looked back at Xia Wennan: "Don't you want to eat?"
Only then did Xia Wennan follow.
The fast food restaurant was brightly lit, but there weren't many customers. There were only four young girls sitting at a table in the corner, who looked like high school students from a county middle school.
Xia Wennan ordered a meal and sat face to face with Ming Luchuan. From his perspective, he happened to see those girls turning their heads to look at them from time to time.
Xia Wennan somewhat understood what they were looking at.
Alphas like Ming Luchuan are uncommon in small counties, most of them are Betas like him. The powerful and excellent Alpha has always been the first choice for Omega and Beta women to choose a mate, and they are always eye-catching no matter where they are.
The four girls sitting in the corner are all Betas. They don't look very outstanding, but they have the cuteness and cuteness of young girls.
One of the girls stood up, passed by them, looked at Ming Luchuan pretending not to care, and then went to the order counter to buy an ice cream. While waiting, I kept looking this way until I bought ice cream and then passed by them to go back to my seat.
Ming Luchuan didn't seem to notice those gazes at all, but Xia Wennan's eyes couldn't help chasing after the girl, watching her sit down in the seat, lower her head and cover her mouth, and chat with the other three.
The slender fingers stretched out in front of his eyes, and tapped twice on the table to get his attention.
Xia Wennan looked towards Ming Luchuan, who asked coldly, "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing," Xia Wennan denied. He heard the counter calling their meal number, so he simply got up to get their order. At the same time, he couldn't help but look back at the girl who passed by them just now.
Xia Wennan did not see anything, he just felt strange. When the girl passed by them just now, he smelled a scent of Omega pheromone. If he read correctly, that girl should be a Beta.
After returning with the plate, Xia Wennan sat down to have dinner with Ming Luchuan. By this time, the intense emotions had faded, and Xia Wennan began to feel tired and hungry. The life of these few days has been like a dream, and it seems that it has not come true until now. He lowered his head and ate a portion of fried rice with a spoon, then picked up the water glass and drank half a glass of lemonade. After putting down the glass, he Looking at Ming Luchuan, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Ming Luchuan had just finished eating, and reached out for a tissue to gently wipe his lips. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at him: "Where do you think I should go?"
Xia Wennan didn't know what to say, so he took another sip from the water glass and said, "My family's conditions are not very good."
Ming Luchuan said, "I've been to your house."
Xia Wennan didn't speak any more.
They came out of the fast food restaurant and walked towards the old factory building where Xia Wennan used to live. The building was indeed very old, but it was still full of residents. Although the lights in the corridor were dim, the floor was swept clean.
Xia Wennan walked in the dark and narrow corridor, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar. He climbed up the stairs slowly, thinking in his heart whether he could find an excuse to let Ming Luchuan leave, and also thought that if Ming Luchuan did not leave, How to live at night.
When he was standing at the door of his house, he suddenly came to his senses and realized a serious problem. He stared blankly at Ming Luchuan and said, "I didn't bring the key."
