After dinner, Uncle Xiang told Qin Jun that tomorrow was Yan Qiao's mother's death day.
Only then did Qin Jun understand why Yan Qiao looked listless at night.
Yan Li and Su Xinran were not at home, looking at Yan Qiao swinging alone, looking lost and lonely, Qin Jun's heart was inexplicably sour.
A thin little boy appeared in his mind, this little boy was lying quietly on the beach alone, on the dark shore, only to hear the sea water layer by layer alluvial shore, one after another, as if to tell him something, he was so lonely, quiet, his eyes looked at the stars in the night sky without blinking, swallowing the loneliness sourly! The little boy's eyes were confused but full of longing, and he stretched out his hand into the air, trying to catch the distant stars, but when he opened his hand, he found that there was nothing in his hand!
Gradually, the shadow in his mind overlapped with Yan Qiao's appearance!
Qin Jun sighed, took a few steps forward, walked to Yan Qiao's side, and gently patted her shoulder.
Yan Qiao turned his head and glanced at Qin Jun, his originally beautiful little face was haggard and distressing at the moment.
Qin Jun quietly walked in front of Yan Qiao, sat cross-legged on the ground quietly, and also raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky!
Neither of them spoke, and a depressing atmosphere slowly dispersed.
"My mom left me when I was very young. Someone told me that everyone becomes a star when they die. Do you see the flickering star? That one is my mother, she looks at me silently from the sky, cares about me, sometimes she is very bright, that is because she sees her daughter, very happy. Sometimes she flashes and flashes, and that's when she's talking to me, and she says to me that she misses me so much! Yan Qiao said, and the crystal tears had already slipped down her delicate face.
"Well, yes! In fact, she is in another world, paying attention to you and growing up with you! Stay with you in a different way! Qin Jun said, feeling upset and taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
"I'm going to smoke a cigarette!" Qin Jun grabbed a cigarette and stood up.
"Right here! I want you to sit with me like this! Yan Qiao's voice was very weak.
"That's good!" Qin Jun unceremoniously lit the cigarette butt and took a deep breath with his eyes closed.
"When I was younger, I heard such a thing too! So whenever there is a sparse moon in the sky, I am very happy because I can clearly see my stars. And when the sky is full of stars, I get very panicked and crazy! When I was young, I didn't learn astronomy and geography well, and when there were many stars, I couldn't find the stars that belonged to me, and sometimes I would cry because of this! Qin Jun spit out a puff of smoke rings, a pair of bright eyes, looking for the star who grew up with him in the deep starry sky.
Yan Qiao was amused, smiled, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"You were such a fool when you were a kid, not as smart as I was! I can always find my mother's one! Yan Qiao's voice was still a little choked!
"Although you look a little ugly, your mother must be very gentle and beautiful, a beauty!" Yan Qiao looked at Qin Jun with some envy.
"I've never seen her! I've been an orphan since I was a kid! Qin Jun said gloomily.
"Huh!?" When Yan Qiao heard this, he was on the spot.
"I'm sorry!" Yan Qiao hurriedly apologized to Qin Jun, she could empathize with that pain. Looking at Qin Jun's eyes, he was full of apology and sympathy.
"It's okay! After so many years, I'm used to it! Qin Jun was indifferent.
Then I am much happier than him, I still have my father and Uncle Xiang, and Sister Xinran! Yan Qiao looked at Qin Jun, and at that moment, he suddenly felt that he was actually not so annoying, maybe it was because of the sympathy, but he had an inexplicable sense of closeness.
"How did you get here after all these years?" Yan Qiao asked curiously.
Qin Jun took a puff of cigarette, the fragrance of tobacco entered his nose, and said slowly: "I still have my brother, and it!" Qin Jun shook the cigarette in his hand. And it! Then he pointed to the red wine on the table.
Of course, in Qin Jun's life, there is another indispensable person, if it weren't for him, presumably Qin Jun wouldn't be alive now! The man who was as burly as a mountain and raised him for quite a few years had already grown a lot of gray hair on his temples when he last saw him!
"I don't have brothers! But I have a few sisters who love me very much, and Sister Xinran is one of them! I don't smoke either! However, if you want to drink, you can drink a little bit of it once in a while! Yan Qiao looked at the red wine on the table, and said that wine can relieve sorrow, but I don't know if it's true or not.
"I haven't drunk much, I'm not drunk yet! What does it feel like to be drunk? Yan Qiao said to herself.
Alcohol? Wine isn't a good thing either! When you are drunk, it is clearer than when you wake up, and the pain in your heart will be magnified even more! Qin Jun sighed in his heart.
The two of them sat on the swing and the other on the ground, and after a long time, they went back to the house.
The next day, it had been sunny before, but for some reason it started to rain lightly.
Qin Jun drove, Yan Qiao and Su Xinran sat in the back row, both of them in black plain clothes. The car drove for a long time before arriving at the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
Yan Qiao and Su Xinran each held a bouquet of flowers in their hands and came to the tombstone of Yan Qiao's mother.
"Mom, I'm coming to see you!" Yan Qiao obediently put down the flower in her hand, walked to the tombstone, and gently stroked the photo on it, and after a while, crystal tears flowed out.
"Mom, has Qiao'er grown up again, and she is beautiful again, almost as beautiful as her mother. Mom, rest assured, although there is no you by your side, Qiao'er is also very well-behaved, Qiao'er studies very hard, and the teacher said that there is no problem in being admitted to a key university this year. Qiao'er is also very happy, with Dad Bi and Sister Xinran by her side, they take care of me very much! It's just that Qiao'er misses you very much," Yan Qiao said, and began to sobbed in a low voice.
With a plop, he knelt on his knees, not caring that the ground was already wet with rain, Yan Qiao hugged the tombstone tightly and stuck his whole body on it, like a child sticking to his mother.
Seeing this, Qin Jun wanted to reach out to help, but as soon as he stretched halfway, he shrank back! I don't know why, he was a little envious of Yan Qiaolai, at least she still had a place to put her thoughts. And he himself doesn't even know who his biological parents are!
"Mom, how nice it would be if you were still here! Are you doing over there, do you also think that Qiao'er Qiao'er misses you very much, I really want to" Yan Qiao couldn't help crying anymore.
The voice of grief drifted far away, which was heartbreaking!
