Ning Youguang was silent, "Things that don’t happen to you, that’s why you can laugh so happily."
"I wish it happened to , alas, I have no fate with trending topics!" The senior sister, having finished her bun, was drinking soy milk again.
"We are trending topic insulators!"
The other senior brothers and sisters also said.
"Sorry Little Ning, we really can’t empathize with you."
"...As long as you’re happy."
...
In the VIP lounge of the Beijing airport.
Ning Youguang gently leaned on Shi Wangyue’s shoulder, looking at the silk-like curtain of rain outside, listening to the pattering sound of the rain, she couldn’t help but sigh, "So fast, it’s Qingming Festival again."
"Ti doesn’t care about human chaos; it only follows its own pace." Shi Wangyue intertwined his fingers with hers.
"Ti flows like water, everything fades away in illusions." On this rainy day, Ning Youguang’s voice was so light it seed ethereal, "We are all part of it."
"Even if life is an illusion, a delusion, we must enjoy finishing it." Shi Wangyue said, "Unless we can escape from upside-down dreams."
"Then we have a long way to go." Ning Youguang chuckled.
"No matter how long the road, we must walk it." Shi Wangyue’s voice was light yet his attitude firm, "Otherwise, there is no freedom."
"Yes, for everlasting freedom." Ning Youguang turned her head to look at him.
The two of them were sitting by the window in the VIP lounge, with hardly anyone around, they could hear the rain outside even more clearly.
"After we get off the plane, we can go ho and have a good rest for a while." To be able to return to Jingcheng for Qingming, she and Shi Wangyue had worked extra shifts for a while, "Auntie has prepared everything we need for tomorrow ahead of ti."
Shi Wangyue raised her hand he was holding, gently planting a kiss on the back, "Whatever you say."
"After resting well today, tomorrow morning we’ll go see uncle early." Ning Youguang said softly, "We’ll sit there for a while longer, accompany him, and tidy up the weeds."
"Alright." Shi Wangyue nodded.
"I just don’t know if it will rain tomorrow."
"If it rains, we’ll go a bit later."
"No." Ning Youguang shook her head, "We agreed to go early, so let’s not delay."
"Then I’ll hold the umbrella for you." Shi Wangyue said.
Ning Youguang looked up, "Then I’ll carry the flowers."
"Okay." Shi Wangyue’s face didn’t show a smile, but his eyebrows and eyes were filled with starlight, his gaze filled with Ning Youguang’s smiling face.
...
After the plane broke through the clouds and flew steadily in the air.
The flight attendant ca to provide service to the first-class passengers.
Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue were sitting in a row, looking at the nu and drink list handed over by the flight attendant.
anwhile, another flight attendant’s gentle voice was heard speaking to the passenger in the back seat.
"Why did you buy a first-class ticket?"
The passenger in the back seat, whom Ning Youguang glanced at when she boarded the plane, was wearing brand-na casual clothes and a baseball cap, obscuring their face, but seed to be a young boy based on his deanor and physique.
Now hearing the flight attendant’s question, she thought the boy might be even younger than she imagined.
Sure enough, as the other person spoke, his voice revealed a faint youthful tone—
"My family flew private, only I took the comrcial flight this ti."
The flight attendant didn’t speak for a long ti, presumably shocked by the young boy’s words.
Ning Youguang smirked and glanced at Shi Wangyue, noticing a few strands of laughter in his eyes as well.
Just when the flight attendant asked the question,
she thought she would hear answers like "My parents run companies," "My family is wealthy."
Never expected it to be a story about frugality.
Soon, Ning Youguang and the young boy in the back seat both ordered the als they wanted.
When the flight attendant left, the young boy suddenly leaned over to talk to them. "Are you celebrities?"
"No." Shi Wangyue answered.
Ning Youguang and he both looked at the questioning boy and found he had a rather pretty face, wheat-colored skin, a bright smile that was very infectious.
"You’re both so good-looking I thought you were stars." The boy looked surprised, "You’re not?"
Shi Wangyue nodded slightly, his dignified air instantly made the boy yield.
"True, you have such a great presence." After a brief silence, the boy smiled and said, "I thought you were stars, wanted you to endorse our family products."
His frank and sincere gaze landed on Ning Youguang, "What a pity."
...
Jingcheng, suburban cetery.
The sky was clear blue, and white clouds drifted slowly.
A gentle breeze blew across Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang’s cheeks, carrying a fragrance of young grass and unknown flowers.
"I’ll handle the rest of the weeds, you take out the things from the basket and set them up." Ning Youguang said to Shi Wangyue beside her.
Under the thin morning sunlight, sweat was beading on her full, fair forehead.
Shi Wangyue poured so water from the mineral bottle to wash his fingers, then took a tissue from his pocket to wipe her sweat, "We’ll arrange everything once we finish pulling the weeds."
"Then let’s hurry." Ning Youguang quickened her pace at pulling weeds, "Wipe your own sweat too."
Shi Wangyue casually wiped his face with his hand and continued bending down to clear the weeds around his father’s grave.
Shi Tingsong’s grave, which was refurbished last year, looked larger than the surrounding graves, especially with the angel sculpture with wings at the front, warm compared to just a simple stele before.
However, after a year’s absence, the newly renovated grave was overgrown with weeds.
Luckily they ca early, by the ti they cleared all the weeds around Shi Tingsong’s grave, the sun had just risen in the sky.
"Let’s arrange the flowers." Ning Youguang cut open the bouquets they brought.
The flowers were of various colors, blooming spectacularly.
After placing each flower on the grave, Shi Tingsong’s grave was covered with blooming flowers, looking vibrant and enthusiastic in the spring breeze.
"Uncle would like it, wouldn’t he?" Ning Youguang’s clear gaze fell on Shi Wangyue, like a cut of autumn water reflecting the white clouds in the empty valley, brilliant and dazzling.
"Yes, he likes colorful things." Shi Wangyue deeply looked at the blooming flowers on his father’s grave, "He likes colorful things."
Then he squatted down to take the sacrificial items from the basket they brought, placing them in front of his father’s grave, "Dad, we ca to see you."
As he arranged them, he said, "And your favorite shining classmate, she also ca to see you."
"Now we are together, if you were still here..." Shi Wangyue’s voice choked, "You could call her Baby and play with her every day."
