The rain was pouring down. It was clearly midsummer weather, but Su Wan felt her body getting colder and colder.
After the worship, most of the relatives and friends left, leaving only a few who wanted to stay a little longer.
Su Wan tilted her head and saw that Xie Changfeng's face was covered with raindrops. He was holding onto the tombstone, and most of his shoulders were wet from the rain.
Su Wan had always thought that her grandfather was a man of integrity, but looking at him now, his old body looked like a crumbling piece of dead wood in the wind.
The pain of losing my wife is hard to express in words.
After burying Lin Xuan with his own hands today, he will return to City A. In the future, even the chance to meet her will become rare.
Xie Changfeng felt as if someone poured a basin of ice water over his heart. His heart ached and he felt numb from the cold.
Jiang Xuecheng quietly held the big black umbrella. He looked at Xie Changfeng's pale face, opened his lips, and made a proposal to Xie Changfeng.
"Grandpa, the rain won't stop for a while, and you've been standing here for hours, so why don't you go back first?"
Hearing this, Xie Changfeng's eyelashes, wet by the rain, trembled slightly. He stretched out his hand and lovingly touched Lin Xuan's cold tombstone, his hoarse voice almost a whisper.
"I can still hold on. I want to stay with her for a while longer."
Xie Changfeng's voice was not loud, but it was filled with an almost stubborn persistence.
Hearing this, Su Wan sighed silently in her heart. It was okay for her and Jiang Xuecheng as they were young, but her grandfather was old after all, and it was easy for him to get rheumatism if he was exposed to the rain for too long.
Unfortunately, Xie Changfeng was stubborn and they had no way to force him to go back.
Su Wan's red eyes stared at Xie Changfeng. Seeing Xie Changfeng leaning against the tombstone in a daze, her heart ached.
Forget it, forget it. After today, I’m afraid that grandpa and grandma will have even fewer chances to get together.
Let grandpa be willful for once...
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the dark clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, but it gave people the illusion of being at seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
After standing for too long and being caught in too much rain, Xie Changfeng suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and the old figure was about to fall backwards.
“Grandpa!”
“Grandpa!”
Two anxious voices sounded one after another, and Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng stretched out their hands at the same time to support Xie Changfeng's shaky body.
"Awan, I..."
Xie Changfeng blinked his eyes with difficulty, and Su Wan's thin face vaguely flashed into his eyes.
Just as Xie Changfeng wanted to say something else to Su Wan, he felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and his whole body became very dizzy.
Finally, he could no longer resist the exhaustion of his body and completely lost consciousness.
Su Wan knew that Xie Changfeng must have been too exhausted to faint.
He has only been in S City for two days. Why have such earth-shaking changes taken place in these two days
Su Wan supported Xie Changfeng nervously and worriedly. Seeing the old man's eyes closed and his face pale and weak, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of bitterness in her heart.
God is so unfair. Why does he have to take my grandma’s life
My grandpa and grandma are so loving to each other. To my grandpa, grandma’s life is his life!
Xie Changfeng and Lin Xuan are childhood sweethearts. They have known each other since they were young and their feelings are unique. In addition, they have taken care of each other for decades and have long been inseparable from each other.
Su Wan was really worried about what kind of mentality Xie Changfeng would have when facing the empty house after returning to City A alone.
Jiang Xuecheng felt a pain in his heart when he saw Su Wan's distressed look. He restrained his expression, turned around and called Ah Si who was not far away.
"Ah Si, take Grandpa back to Fontainebleau first. He has caught a cold. Ask Aunt Fang to make him some ginger soup."
"Yes, Master."
Ah Si, who was also dressed in plain clothes, walked forward and put his arm around Xie Changfeng's shoulders. He nodded to Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng again.
"Master, Madam, you two should go back soon. It's good to show your kindness. Please take care of your health."
Standing in such heavy rain for an entire afternoon would make even a young person lose weight. It would be bad if Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng got sick again.
Su Wan knew that Ah Si meant well, so she curled the corners of her lips slightly and forced a smile.
"Okay, please, Ah Si, take Grandpa back home. Be careful on the road."
Ah Si smiled naively, then quickly carried the unconscious Xie Changfeng in his arms and walked towards the car outside Beiling Cemetery.
After Ah Si drove away in the Phaeton, the parking space outside the Beiling Cemetery seemed even emptier. Only a black Koenigsegg was left parked there, standing alone and very eye-catching.
The rain gradually became lighter, from a downpour to a drizzle, but there was still no sign of stopping.
Not long after the four-wheel drive left, a silver-white Porsche drove in quickly and stopped steadily next to the Koenigsegg.
The car door opened quickly, revealing an elegant and noble figure. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and holding a large bouquet of beautiful lilies in his arms.
Star-like raindrops fell on the lilies and gradually condensed into clear water droplets, as if someone had shed a tear.
…
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng stood in front of the tombstone, from the heavy rain to the drizzle.
Jiang Xuecheng knew that Su Wan didn't want to leave, so he stayed with her.
But seeing that the night was about to begin, Jiang Xuecheng couldn't help but remind her: "Wanwan, shall we go back?"
Su Wan was stunned when he heard this, but finally nodded.
She slowly squatted down, took off the small white flower pinned on her body, and carefully placed it in front of Lin Xuan's portrait.
Seeing Lin Xuan's loving smile in the photo, Su Wan felt a dull pain in his heart.
The rain slowly flowed down the black and white photo.
Su Wan couldn't help but reach out her hand and wipe the mist off the photo with her fingers.
Su Wan stared at the photo without blinking, her expression sad and lonely. She murmured softly, her voice sounding a little dazed.
“Grandma, Xuecheng and I are leaving. You must be happy up there.”
Jiang Xuecheng saw tears welling up in Su Wan's eyes again and couldn't help but say something.
"Wanwan, you always said you wanted to make grandma happy. If you're not happy, how can she be happy?"
Su Wan has cried so many times recently that Jiang Xuecheng almost believes that creatures like "Tearful Man" really exist.
Su Wan understood what Jiang Xuecheng meant. She stood up, smiled at Jiang Xuecheng, and reached out her hand to wipe away her tears.
"Okay, I promise you and grandma that we will live happily."
Grandma in heaven would definitely not want to see her crying every day, right
Jiang Xuecheng reached out and stroked the hair on Su Wan's forehead and smiled gently.
"That's more like it."
The two of them turned around and were about to go back along the stairs, but suddenly they saw a tall figure walking towards them from a distance.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and in the vast mist and rain, the figure seemed a little unreal...
