    Chapter Index

    “From now on, we will open a store in Wanghai Town. You will repair the car and I will sell desserts at the door.”

    “On the weekends, we can come here to have picnics and sketch.”

    “If I can save more money and buy a small fishing boat with power, I can take grandma and grandpa out to sea when the weather is good. Although they didn’t mention it again, I know…”

    That day, Xue Xia and Wei Chinian stayed until the sun set, turning the blue sea surface into a large piece of orange-red cloth. Then, bid farewell to the sudden sea breeze, they rode slowly on their way home.

    The future described by Xue Xia is also Wei Chinian’s dream.

    However, dreams will only be dreams after all.

    It can only be a dream.

    After the Waking of Insects, everything should be revived and prosperous.

    But Wei Chinian’s mother’s condition took a turn for the worse in that month.

    Later, the hospital sent out several critical illness notifications, and the woman who raised Wei Chinian alone could not survive it.

    Before his son reached adulthood, he died suddenly.

    The funeral was very simple.

    Not many people came to express condolences, most of them were residents of Wanghai Town.

    Xue Xia also went to worship with her grandma and grandpa.

    The beauty that cannot be concealed even in black and white photos is Xue Xia’s deepest impression of Wei Chinian’s mother.

    Untimely, yet extraordinarily profound.

    That day, she saw Wei Chinian, dressed in black, standing in front of the mourning hall. There were only a few people separated between them, but they seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

    At the same time, Xue Xia also noticed that there was a man standing next to Wei Chinian.

    A man who is incompatible with Wanghai Town.

    The suit is straight and the face is resolute. His description is sad, but his eyes are calm, making people feel a sense of indifference.

    And next to him, Wei Chinian…

    “Xia Bao?”

    Grandma is calling herself.

    Xue Xia thought for a while, then ran to Wei Chinian and whispered to him: “My condolences.”

    At the same time, she seemed to touch him casually, but in the process, she quietly stuffed a candy into the boy’s hand.

    This seemingly obscure action was noticed by the man beside him, who frowned slightly and said nothing.

    From the beginning to the end, Wei Chinian did not raise his eyes. Xue Xia was worried, but knew that now was not the time for him to stay.

    The next day, my grandfather’s brother and his entire family came to Wanghai Town to visit relatives.

    Grandma and grandfather asked Xue Xia to be their guide and take them around. Xue Xia couldn’t find any reason to refuse, and naturally couldn’t spare the time to see Wei Chinian.

    Until the day of the funeral, the funeral procession passed by, and the music played was sad and solemn. Through the window of the room, Xue Xia could see an old man walking in front and throwing paper money. Behind him was a long procession, all dressed in black suits. At first glance, it looked quite spectacular.

    Xue Xia felt something was wrong.

    So, that night, after everyone fell asleep, Xue Xia sneaked out.

    The door of Wei Chinian’s house is open.

    Xue Xia cautiously walked up to the second floor and stopped in front of Wei Chinian’s room.

    The door was closed, so she knocked twice.

    No one answered.

    Xue Xia still doesn’t give up.

    She had a strong hunch that Wei Chinian was inside.

    It’s unclear how long it took, but Xue Xia’s knuckles turned red. The pain began to affect her nerves and occupy her senses. The grievance made her eyes water. It was only then that the door was finally opened.

    Wei Chinian stood in front of him.

    Wearing short sleeves and shorts, he is skinny, and the boy’s hair is like dry weeds, messily hanging on his head. At the same time, there are obvious black spots on his lower eyelids, and the newly grown stubble on his chin has not been taken care of. The whole person has a gloomy atmosphere, like a nocturnal creature that does not like light, cannot see light, and has no light.

    “In old age…”

    The next second, Xue Xia fell into his arms.

    It’s not warm, but it’s still a source of fire for her.

    Like a moth, she embraced him without hesitation.

    “Xia Xia…” Wei Chinian buried his head on her shoulder and spoke softly, but his voice fluctuated like chaff in the wind, trembling.”I have no mother and no home…”

    At that moment, Xue Xia felt that her heart was grasped by a pair of huge hands, and she could hardly breathe.

    Only later did she realize that it turned out to be the power from Wei Chinian.

    As if grasping a life-saving straw, he clamped Xue Xia between his chest and arms, in a posture that seemed to strangle the person into flesh and blood.

    Xue Xia closed her eyes.

    “No.” Her tone was extremely gentle, but to Wei Chinian, it seemed as if it was coming from a distant time and space, coming from the mouth of a woman who was once beautiful but quickly withered and decayed.”You still have a home, and I will give you a home.”

    She had a relationship with Wei Chinian.

    However, the next day, Wei Chinian disappeared, leaving only a note with two words: “Wait for me.”

    Xue Xia was stunned.

    She never thought that things would develop like this.

    It was like she never thought that she would become pregnant during the summer after graduating from high school.

    The child was not saved.

    She also lost her child on the day she learned of its existence.

    Grandpa’s hateful gaze and grandma’s red eyes, the suppressed cries and sighs of the two elders when they fell asleep, all of this made Xue Xia’s heart feel like it was being tortured. The pain of cutting her flesh, the pain of cutting her heart, and more, she felt confused and at a loss, as if there was a place in her body that had been eaten away and could never be filled.
