Nostalgia is always a mysterious thing, arriving silently yet overwhelming like a tidal wave.
On the day Mu Ke returned to S City, early in the morning, Sheng Jiayu took him to the airport. The two of them shared a simple hug before security, and Mu Ke whispered in her ear, "I won’t be gone for long, wait for to co back."
Sheng Jiayu smiled and nodded, "Spend so good ti with your parents."
It’s not that she wanted to showcase how thoughtful and understanding she was, but because of her past experiences, Sheng Jiayu felt it was truly necessary for children to spend more ti with their parents.
Moreover, Mu Ke was almost always in B City and rarely went back. It wasn’t easy to spend Chinese New Year, so of course, he should spend more ti with his parents.
When she left the airport, Sheng Jiayu didn’t feel anything, and when she drove back to the Xu Family’s Old Mansion, she didn’t feel anything either.
But when she walked to the second floor and her gaze instinctively drifted to the room where Mu Ke stayed last night, she suddenly felt as if sothing was missing.
She pushed the door open and went inside; the room was neat and tidy, the bed perfectly made. She knew it wasn’t done by the servants, but by Mu Ke himself. He was always like this, never like her, who would casually leave the bed unmade after getting up.
He always demonstrated his ticulousness and obsessive-compulsive nature as a doctor in every aspect.
Sheng Jiayu sat on the edge of the bed, which had long lost its warmth, yet she felt she could still sense Mu Ke’s presence.
Lost in thought, a servant ca in and paused slightly upon seeing her, "Miss?"
Sheng Jiayu was jolted back to reality, looked at the fresh sheets the servant was holding, and said, "There’s no need to tidy up here, it’s fine."
"Oh, okay."
This was originally a guest room where few people stayed, typically, the sheets would be changed the next day after soone slept here, but since Sheng Jiayu said there’s no need, they naturally wouldn’t argue.
The snow from last night had stopped after only a few flakes, and today the sun had unexpectedly co out. After Xu Qingru got up, Sheng Jiayu accompanied her for a walk nearby.
Xu Qingru’s foot was almost healed; although her injury wasn’t severe, being older ant her recovery was a bit slow.
It was now the ti for activity. After walking for a bit, Xu Qingru suddenly said, "Jiayu, during the minor New Year, go to S City for a visit."
When Xu Qingru ntioned the minor New Year, she ant the Lantern Festival. Sheng Jiayu didn’t know why she suddenly brought it up and paused slightly.
Xu Qingru continued calmly, "Little Mu’s parents are intellectuals. Even if he’s not from a wealthy family, he is still a son of prominence, and it’s important to observe social etiquette. Since you’re heading towards marriage, and Little Mu has co to et , it’s ti for you to visit."
Honestly, Sheng Jiayu didn’t really know what Mu Ke’s family did. She only knew his family was well off, certainly incomparable to hers, but definitely among the top compared to ordinary people.
What surprised Sheng Jiayu the most was that Xu Qingru actually knew about Mu Ke’s family.
"Mom, did he tell you?"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Xu Qingru, of course, understood what Sheng Jiayu was wondering and smiled, "Little Mu was introduced by your Aunt Chen, so of course, I asked a few more questions."
Sheng Jiayu felt slightly embarrassed. Yes, they indeed had that arranged matchmaking, but she had long forgotten about it.
Before she could say anything, Xu Qingru continued, "So things should not be repeated."
These words bore so deeper aning, causing Sheng Jiayu to lower her gaze and remain silent.
