Lin Wan Bai confirmed that she was not seeing things.
Although they were still separated by a distance, she could still recognize that the one who was arguing with the staff member was Lu Xue Lin.
He was dressed differently from the casual attire he had seen before. He was dressed formally, which was rare, and his entire body was black. Even the shirt and socks that were exposed were black, giving people a solemn feeling.
Lin Wan Bai felt that it was unexpected and couldn't help but go forward to greet them.
However, just as he walked a few steps forward, he suddenly saw something and abruptly stopped.
Lin Wan Bai slowly swallowed his saliva. His gaze was fixated on Lu Xue Lin, or more accurately, the bunch of flowers in his arms.
The green leaves set off the white petals, with a pale yellow stamen in the middle. There were even dewdrops on the petals, as if they were all carefully chosen.
Herba Equinox...
Mom's favorite flower.
Every time Lin Wan Bai came to visit, he would buy a bunch from the flower shop.
But were there really so many coincidences in this world?
"How could it be gone?!" Lu Xue Lin's expression was very excited as he questioned, "Last month, when I went back home, I came over to sweep the tomb once. She was there, but when I went over, I could not find her! "You are a staff member here, you should be responsible for this matter!"
He had already searched up and down the mountain road, but there was no sign of the tombstone to his left or right.
He had stayed abroad for many years, and on days like these, he had not been able to make it back in time. He had also found a place to pay his respects, and after deciding not to leave, the first thing he did was come to see her, but today, he could not find the tombstone that held his thoughts.
The staff expressed his helplessness. "Sir, I really do not know about this!"
"I didn't intentionally cause trouble for you. I came here to see her last month, but now the tombstone there has been replaced by someone else. Could it be that none of the staff here know about it?" "You have to give me an explanation, or at least tell me where you moved her!" Lu Xue Lin's tone was very anxious, adding on to the fact that his body was slightly weak, he couldn't help but start coughing uncontrollably at the end.
"Sir, let me reiterate to you, I really do not know!" The staff member hurriedly said, "Why don't you wait a bit? I'll go back and ask my colleagues to transfer the files to you!"
After saying that, the staff ran towards the office building.
Lu Xue Lin lowered her head to look at the Horseshoe Lotus in her arms, her heart throbbing with pain, she turned around only to see someone standing behind him. He calmed his expression and asked in shock: "Miss Lin, why are you here?"
But soon, he realized that those who were able to appear in this place were naturally here to offer their respects.
Lin Wan Bai did not answer, but continued to stare at his embrace.
"These flowers …"
Lu Xue Lin thought that she was just curious and explained with a smile, "It's a Horseshoe Lotus."
Lin Wan Bai seemed to be unable to shift his gaze away from the light yellow flower stamens, and spoke in a low voice while pretending to be confused: "I usually buy chrysanthemums or carnations when I come to sweep the grave, but it's rare to see Horseshoe Lotus …"
Normally, when he chose to mourn, he would buy some white flowers, symbolizing regret and nostalgia. Although the Horseshoe Lotus had this layer of meaning, most people would choose chrysanthemum or carnations out of habit, so the flowers in his arms were very special.
"Mmm, I, as an old friend, liked it a lot when I was alive." Lu Xue Lin nodded, and then frowned: "It's just that there seems to be a problem, I didn't find anyone when I came over."
Lin Wan Bai clenched the fingers on both sides of his fingers, which were stuck to the center of his palm.
"Mr. Lu."
She took a deep breath. After struggling internally for two seconds, she made her decision. "I want to …" I should know where the person you're looking for is! "
"What did you say?" Lu Xue Lin looked at her in shock.
"Please come with me!" Lin Wan Bai only said that.
Lu Xue Lin's face revealed a confused expression, he could not believe it, but he still chose to follow behind her.
Lin Wan Bai didn't speak anymore, and only silently retraced her steps. From the corner of her eye, she could see Lu Xue Lin following her closely, and felt her heart beating a little intensely.
This feeling was very tense and also very perturbed, as if there was something that was about to be unsealed.
Finally returning to the front of the tombstone, Lin Wan Bai stopped, "We're here …"
Hearing that, Lu Xue Lin followed her gaze, and immediately saw the person he was looking for. The tombstone had been altered, but the photo on it was still stuck on the youngest, it was extremely beautiful.
"It's really here!" Lu Xue Lin said excitedly.
Lin Wan Bai stood at the side and did not miss the small change in expression on his face.
Many scenes from the past suddenly appeared in his mind, all of them piled up together.
"I once had a first love affair with someone, but unfortunately, fate messed with me. In the end, we weren't able to get what we wanted … All these years, I stayed abroad. After returning to my country, I always felt that she didn't have any presence in the city. I had heard her mention my hometown before, so I really wanted to come and take a look! "
"I'm sorry, I was a little too agitated just now and did not manage to control my emotions well. I hope Miss Lin does not mind!"
"The main reason is that I have an old friend who especially likes to sing the plum blossoms, and used to often sing the selections of 'Prince Consort Horse'. I've heard it many times, and this poem is completely forgotten by me." When I first heard someone sing it, I thought it was her, so … But how could that be possible? Old friends have already died many years ago! "
"When one doesn't love in all one's life, only when one does, will one think, and when so, it will harm one's love."
Lin Wan Bai knew that this was no longer as simple as a coincidence.
She took a small step forward and held his breath as she probed, "Mr. Lu, I remember the second time we met in the countryside, you once told me that you wanted to see your first lover's home. That first lover of yours … Is he the person now? "
"Yes!" Lu Xue Lin was slightly taken aback, but he still admitted it calmly.
After receiving the confirmation, Lin Wan Bai's breathing became sluggish.
"To tell you the truth, including that translation of Bender's novel, the reason why I spent so much effort to read it again was because of her!" "She's my first lover, and also the only woman I've ever loved in my entire life. We've been in love for so many years, and we've already reached the point where we could stay together for life, but I never thought that by making a fool out of people, we still couldn't be together in the end. She married another person, and I married a wife …"
In the end, all it could do was sigh.
Lu Xue Lin squatted in front of the tombstone and put down the bouquet of flowers he was carrying. "Chuchu, I'm here.
