Chapter Seventy-Six: Tombstone Tears
When Lin Shu and Yao Ying arrived home, Wen Qin and Yao's mother were waiting at the door. Gu Chen, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, moved the luggage for them, and then everyone entered Lin Shu's house together.
Wen Qin looked at her daughter with a gentle look. She was originally a woman born in Jiangnan and had amorous eyes. "Shu'er, are you okay at school?"
"Well, that's good, what about you?"
"Well, that's good. Wen Qin glanced at Gu Chen and asked, "Who is this?"
"He's Gu Chen," Lin Shu replied.
Wen Qin felt that the name was quite familiar, and she thought for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the senior that Yao Ying has been shouting about surpassing before, right?"
Gu Chen chuckled and nodded, "I'm afraid that her wish will come true." ”
Yao Ying stood up and looked at Gu Chen, disappreroving, "Senior, although it is in front of my mother and Aunt Wen, you don't have to praise me like this." If I want to surpass you Gu Chen, I still have to cultivate for a few hundred more years. ”
Yao's mother smiled, "This kid, how can you talk to your senior?"
"Mom, I've always been so straightforward, Senior Gu has long been used to it when he was in the first high school. ”
"Yes, the first time we met, she announced that she wanted to challenge me. ”
Yao Ying's face was embarrassed, and she simply shouted loudly again, "Senior, how can you still remember this old past." ”
"Who can forget your formation", Lin Shu also added.
"That's not Shu'er, you don't remind me well and make me ugly. ”
"I've hinted at you like that, who knew you were too excited and kept gessing. ”
Gu Chen looked at Lin Shu with a little joy, she still remembered the past.
"Alright, you're all tired, let's go and rest. Wen Qin turned to Gu Chen again, "Gu Chen, our family is small, so we can only grieve you in Shu'er's father's study." ”
"It's okay Aunt Wen, I'm not tired. ”
"That's not good, how can you drive for so long without resting. You all sleep, and you Aunt Yao and I will go buy vegetables and cook for you. Wen Qin said and Yao's mother boasted about the food basket and planned to go out.
"Auntie, I'm sorry for you. Gu Chen said politely.
"This kid is so polite, Shu'er, you take Gu Chen to the study. ”
The two left, Yao Ying said that she was too tired to go upstairs to rest first, and Lin Shu took Gu Chen to her father's study.
Lin Shu's home has a strong Jiangnan atmosphere, and you can still see the quiet flowing river from the window on the second floor. There are only a few cases, a chair, and a guqin in the study. On several cases are the four treasures of the study, and an unfinished ink painting. Everything looks simple, and it seems that nothing is missing.
"Uncle Lin likes to paint ink very much, right?" asked Gu Chen, looking at the many scrolls and the unfinished paintings on the table.
"Well, he's in love with ink. Lin Shu looked at those scrolls, a little distracted.
Gu Chen's eyes were drawn to the guqin that had fallen into the dust, "Do you know how to play the guqin?"
"No, that's Mom's only dowry. She plays well, but I can't. ”
"Why don't you learn?" Gu Chen asked.
Why don't you learn it? Lin Shu can't say it well. I only know that when I touched the strings since I was a child, I was sad and didn't know why. But she loves to listen to her mother play tunes, which can make everything beautiful. Once, they were always in the study as a family, with their father painting ink paintings, their mother playing the guqin, and they were lying on the window, looking at the river flowing from the Yangtze River.
"You rest, and you can eat when you get up later. ”
"Lin Shu", Gu Chen stopped her, "Do you hate me?"
Lin Shu clenched her hands, "I don't know." ”
"I'm still the same Gu Chen you saw for the first time, waiting for you in this form, waiting for that Lin Shu four years ago to come back. ”
"Sleep. Lin Shu left, directly ignoring Gu Chen's words.
By the time Wen Qin and the others were cooking, all three of them had woken up. Gu Chen also slept well this night, I don't know if it was because he was back here again, and he slept unusually steadily.
"Shu'er, can you go and see your father?" Wen Qin waited for them to finish their meal before speaking.
Lin Shu's hands trembled, she had never been there since her father died, and she numbed herself in such a way that she felt that her father was just temporarily away. Only this time, are you really going?
"Okay," Lin Shu replied.
In the afternoon the group went to the cemetery, which was located on the banks of the river. Lin Shu put the blue cornflower in front of the tombstone, and his father didn't like it, but because he liked cornflower blue, he also liked to plant it. "Dad, Shu'er has come to see you. How are you? Will it be strange that Shu'er hasn't come to see you for more than three years?" Lin Shu's tears had fallen, Gu Chen's brows were deeply furrowed, and she fell into sadness like the time Gu Xi left, and she was still powerless.
"Dad, Shu'er was admitted to A University, Shu'er's writing is much better, and the editor in charge of the recent submission also likes it. ”
Wen Qin couldn't help crying, but she didn't dare to make a sound, and finally she couldn't hold back and quickly left there, and Yao's mother and Yao Ying followed. And Gu Chen stood there, watching Lin Shu sitting in front of the tombstone and crying. She spoke of her thoughts, her sorrows, and everything she had encountered. She must have loved her father very much, so what kind of ruthless way did she hurt her that year? Xu Xinrui's words rang in her ears again, "On the day you left, she stood in the rain and waited at your door for two hours. She chases your car and watches your farewell letter in the rain. Gu Chen, don't you really owe her anything?"
Gu Chen squatted beside Lin Shu, and he reached out to take Lin Shu into his arms. Xu Xinrui is right, he owes her after all, and owes a promise that may be difficult to get back in this life.
"Shu'er, I'm here. ”
Gu Chen's voice came from above his head, and Lin Shu cried even more, as if he had returned to that year, venting his suppressed feelings. She held Gu Chen's arm with both hands and buried her head in his chest. "Gu Chen, Dad is gone, and he will never come back. ”
Lin Shu cried, and the voice seemed to make heaven and earth grief. Gu Chen hugged him tightly, and tears welled up in his eyes. Lin Shu, if I hugged you like this that year, would I not have lost you.
The two of them stayed like this until it was dark. Lin Shu was tired of crying, so she fell asleep. When Wen Qin came back, he saw Lin Shu lying in Gu Chen's arms asleep, the tears in the corners of his eyes had not dried, but he was not like that year, he frowned slightly even when he fell asleep.
Wen Qin glanced at Gu Chen, his gaze never left Lin Shu, his eyes were full of tenderness. "Gu Chen, take Shu'er back. ”
"Okay", Gu Chen gently picked up Lin Shu and walked on the path where the night was getting darker. Lin Shu's breathing sounded even, and the North Star was already hanging in the sky. Lin Shu, how I wish this moment was as eternal as the North Star, I grabbed you, and I will never let go.
