"Mo Mo, don't think too much. If there's a problem, why don't you go back and ask Aunt Yan Sha?" Of course, Lin Chubai knew what she was thinking.
"But my mom never mentioned it. I'm afraid she didn't want to say it … "If this is the pain in her heart, then if I bring it up, it will only make her even more sad …"
Lin Moge was naturally apprehensive. From what her mother had told her in the past, she could infer that her mother seemed to be resenting her father.
That's why my mother didn't mention my father, right?
But if he did, how could he have kept the photo for so many years?
As the saying goes, the depth of one's love, the depth of one's hate. Without love, where would hatred come from?
Her parents' past wasn't something she could participate in. Therefore, all she could do was wait quietly until the day her mother was willing to tell her the truth.
"It should be enough after I finish packing up. I'll find if there's anything else …" Lin Chubai put everything back into the iron box and turned around to check.
Lin Moge also stopped thinking. She placed the two photos and the ring in the box, but her eyes were glued to the other even more yellowish photo.
The photo must have been taken at a party or during a performance, because the makeup was rather thick.
However, with a single glance, she was able to see her mother and godmother standing together.
That's right, it was his foster mother, Su Yi Rou.
She had heard her mother say before that she was very good sisters with Su Yi Rou. I didn't expect them to be so beautiful when they were young …
and so on...
The person beside Su Yi Rou …
Her eyebrows wrinkled as a trace of astonishment flashed past her eyes. "Chu Bai, do you know who this is?"
Seeing something wrong with her face, Lin Chubai quickly put down what he was holding and leaned over to take a look. He was shocked. "This …" "Isn't this Wu Yujie?"
The two of them looked at each other, both seeing a hint of confusion in the other's eyes.
It was because the person beside Su Yirou in the photo was Wu Yujie.
Although he was very young at the time, his appearance hadn't changed much. Furthermore, she was even hugging Su Yi Rou's neck, as if the two of them were very close.
Due to the emotional entanglement between Old Man Quan and Su Yi Rou being too shocking, Lin Mo Ge never thought that Su Yi Rou and Wu Yu Jie were acquainted!
"Ink..." Doesn't this look like a melodrama? A good friend married his ex-husband? " Lin Chubai said in a creepy tone.
"What nonsense is this …"
Halfway through Lin Moge's words, she was stunned. Because the first time around, Chu Bai was right.
"Then would my mom know Wu Yujie?" She didn't expect to come here and make such a discovery. "Looks like the conflicts between the previous generation are even more complicated than I thought …"
Lin Chubai lightly patted her shoulder. "Well, let's put that aside first. It's the past anyway, why should we care?"
"Yes, you're right."
Lin Moge nodded as she sped up her actions.
By the time the two of them had tidied up most of the room, they could see that it had already become empty.
She suddenly thought of what her mother had said. She had said that she would only realize how empty that small room was when she came back from her dreams at midnight.
If it was empty, it had nothing to do with space, but her heart was empty, right?
Forget it, I hope that the memories my mother left behind here can be returned to my mother's side with these luggage …
The two of them locked the door and went downstairs with their luggage.
The light in the courtyard had already dimmed, and the sky was gradually turning gray.
It was as if a magnificent drama was about to end, causing one's heart to turn cold.
"Chu Bai, looks like we'll have to stay here for the night …" Lin Mu Ge suddenly said, shocking Lin Chu Bai so much that his eyes widened.
"Mo Mo, you're saying …" You want to stay the night in A City? "
Without waiting for Lin Moge's reply, he snickered, "Are you sure this little white rabbit wants to spend the night with the big bad wolf?"
Dong!
Lin Moge hit him hard with his chestnut. "Little White, it should be you, right?"
"Ugh …" "Seems like it really is …" Lin Chubai curled his lips, feeling wronged. "But I'd rather be a little rabbit that was ravaged by a big bad wolf …"
"Alright, let's see how the big bad wolf will ravage you …" Lin Moge bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she prepared to pounce.
Just as the two of them were laughing and joking, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and a creaking sound could be heard.
Then an old man came in, neatly dressed.
When the old man saw the two of them, he was clearly also very surprised. "Excuse me, are you looking for someone?"
"Uncle, are you the landlord here?" Lin Moge asked politely.
"Mn, it's me …" The old man looked at Lin Moge Ge with a meaningful gaze as he probed, "Do you know Sha Sha?"
The two of them looked at each other, and Lin Moge was even more surprised, "Yes, Uncle, Yan Sha is my mother. "We came here today to help her carry her luggage …"
The old man nodded slightly. "No wonder you have your mother's shadow on you …" Sasha, is she okay? "She hasn't been back for a long time. I'm worried something might have happened to her and called the police, but they haven't been able to find her …"
"Don't worry, my mother is very well. "Something happened and we coincidentally met, so I brought her back to S City. She stayed in the hospital for the past few days, and now that she has recovered a bit, I came to move her …"
Lin Moge Ge was afraid that the old man would be worried, so she said it all out in one breath.
"So that's how it is. I'm relieved that she's fine …" He looked at the two suitcases on the floor and said reluctantly, "Then you …" "Is he leaving?"
"That's right, Uncle. I've already packed my things. Thank you for taking care of my mother all these years." More... "My mother asked me to pass on a message to you …"
Saying that, she once again carefully sized up the old man in front of her.
But unfortunately, in the end, he still wrongly paid with his heart.
"Go ahead, Sha Sha, she …" What do you want to tell me? " The old man's brows slightly sunk. He suddenly laughed bitterly, "Did she ask you to tell me that we would never meet again?"
Lin Moge was shocked, but she did not show it on her face, and only said lightly, "She said, she has always known and is very grateful for your kind intentions. However, in the end, I have to disappoint you. Moreover, in this lifetime, I'm afraid … I won't have a chance to see you again. "
Looking at the old man in front of her who had suddenly aged, she seemed to be able to empathize with him.
How could she not understand the feeling of falling in love with someone who did not love her?
Lin Chubai was also sad, he didn't expect that he was not the only one.
Looking at this old man, it was as if he could see his future.
The old man took a deep breath, concealing the emotions in his heart, and his smile became more bitter.
"Why is she so silly? I just want to look at her from afar. Why do I need to use the Life and Death Art to bid farewell?"
As he spoke, he raised his head to look at the familiar window upstairs. His turbid eyes were filled with mist.
"Your mother loved to stand at that window and look up at the sky. You don't know how beautiful she was the first time she stood there... She was as beautiful as a painting... It was as though the stars in the sky were so bright that mortals couldn't even touch them … "I can only look up from afar and admire her …"
It was as if he was lost in his memories. It was as if he had returned to that sunny afternoon from decades ago.
He sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun as he read. When he inadvertently raised his head, he was deeply attracted by that unfathomably beautiful person.
From then on, he used up his entire life …
He knew that she was arrogant and that there was another man in her heart.
Thus, he hid his tiny thoughts, afraid that she would see them.
However, when she found out, she did not blame him. She only regretfully said that she did not deserve his infatuation …
As time flowed, things had changed.
"Originally, I wanted to quietly stay here and accompany her until she's old. Even if it's just as a friend, I'm satisfied …" "But who would've thought that in the end, she would still have to return to her own place …"
The old man's body trembled slightly, it was unbearable to look at.
Lin Muge thought about it and said softly, "But uncle, after all, there are still so many years of memories …"
"Yeah, there are still memories …" We spent so much time here, from young to full hair. "It's enough …"
The old man brewed for a long time before he smiled at her. "Take good care of your mother. She has suffered a lot all these years …"
"I will. Uncle, you have to take care of yourself too." Lin Moge also replied politely.
"Seeing the two of you recognize each other, I am happy as well …" "Looks like waiting here has been a little useful. I've finally found you …"
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Chubai couldn't help interrupting, "Uncle, are you leaving?"
The old man reluctantly looked at everything here and slowly nodded, "That's right …" This place is going to be torn down next year, and all the previous guests have moved away. Only Sasha was left. I even thought that we could stay here forever, but who would have thought that there would never be a perfect end to it. "
The two of them did not feel good. No wonder it was so quiet here, it was meant to be demolished.
"Then uncle, where are you going from now on?" Lin Moge asked again.
"I'm going out for a walk as well. I've been guarding this place for so many years, so I must go out and take a look while I'm still alive …" The old man smiled and waved at them. "It's getting late. Hurry and get busy with your work …"
"Alright, then uncle, we will be leaving first. "Take care!" In the end, Lin Moge bowed towards the old man to show her some guilt on behalf of her mother before leaving with Chu Bai.
After walking for a long distance, she couldn't help but turn back to take a look. The old man was still standing in the courtyard, looking up at the window on the third floor.
His lonely yet somewhat sorrowful figure blended into one with the old villa and gradually became blurry …
It was as if an ancient time had passed by, following the vicissitudes of time ….
The two of them were in a heavy mood as they slowly walked forward. Only the sound of their luggage rubbing against the ground could be heard.
