Chapter Twenty-Six: It's All Sincere

Feng Yan never looked up, her two hands covered her eyes tightly, but tears still fell to the ground one after another.

Feng Yan didn't know where she got so many tears, she didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would cry even more as soon as she spoke.

These tears were like rain, soaking the ruins related to Yin Shiyun in her heart little by little.

In the past, she had left everything related to him there, rarely remembering it and not daring to think about it.

- Retreating is like betrayal, she can't understand Yin Shiyun's breach of contract.

But the warmth of the past, the stars and the mountain breeze of the summer night, the sincere promises that the young people made to each other in the mountains...... They had brought her unprecedented joy, so when everything was broken, Feng Yan clearly felt that she had been shattered for a long time.

All the blades that had been used to defend against the world were turned against her, and the only purpose of life lifting her up was to throw her down again, so that she could see her childish dependence.

She had no strength or ability to sew any more, so she could only sever all ties to the past, let everything be extinguished, and let it all die, and everything was a lie from now on, and everything from now on was only forward—she left everything behind, and therefore neither resented nor forgiven.

But tonight, the twelve- or thirteen-year-old self that had been buried by her seemed to wake up again.

Not only did she come back to life, but she shouted at her as if she had never been hurt—

It's all true.

Those former sincerity were not wrongly paid;

Those nervous and shy waits are no joke;

Even if everything is irretrievable today, the hands she once held tightly in the past are not wishful thinking......

Wei Xingzhen hugged Feng Yan and didn't say anything, just gently patted his wife's shoulders that shrugged because of sobbing.

When Feng Yan's breathing gradually calmed down, Wei Xingzhen felt her holding her hand.

"I'm fine." Feng Yan replied in a low voice.

Wei Xingzhen lowered her head and looked at it—it didn't look like it was okay.

Feng Yan leaned on Wei Xingzhen's shoulder and didn't let him see his face.

After a while, she suddenly turned her face and whispered into Wei Xingzhen's ear, "Thank you for coming to me...... I'm favored by some god. ”

"What are you talking about......"

"It's not stupid, it's sincere."

Wei Xingzhen laughed, "Then what is Ah Yan's plan now?" ”

Feng Yan was silent for a while, "I want to walk around here first."

"Every time I came here before, my aunt took me, and I didn't look at many places carefully, so I think this mausoleum should be more than just these dungeons...... Today is just the opportunity to take a look at this from time to time. ”

"Okay, then we-"

Before Wei Xingzhen finished speaking, Feng Yan suddenly remembered something.

She took a step back, wiping her tears as she pulled Wei Xingzhen forward.

"You come with me."

The two finally stopped in front of Feng Dai's tomb.

Feng Yan clasped her hands together and closed her eyes without saying a word.

Wei Xingzhen looked at her, and his gaze swept to the tombstone in front of him, he didn't know Feng Dai - in fact, the closer he was to the year of Ah Yan's birth, the farther away he was from the people in Chang'an, so as not to be recognized by someone when he really needed to show his head in the future.

But he did have some impressions of Feng Dai, because when he went to Tianji Palace to find Bai Wuji and Du Weifeng, he had a relationship with Feng Dai.

Feng Dai, who was wearing a woman's bun, led seven or eight-year-old Feng Yuandao and slowly walked down the stone steps, and Wei Xingzhen, who was sitting on a tree waiting for someone, soon found a pair of eyes that looked like Ah Yan in the crowd - but, after a closer look, he found that they were not like them at all.

Feng Dai's eyes were completely devoid, like a dead walking corpse, only slightly changed when Feng Yuandao called her.

Her eyes were like dry wells, neither smiling nor annoyed, always looking at the road ahead calmly, without stirring up the slightest wave.

When Feng Yan opened her eyes again, Wei Xingzhen looked at her, "Ah Yan was making a wish just now?" ”

"Hmm." Feng Yan turned around, "I ask Grandmother Dai to remember what we look like, and I hope that her spirit in the sky can protect us." ”

Wei Xingzhen looked at Feng Dai's tombstone again, and grabbed Feng Yan's hand tighter.

Feng Yanwan also firmly clasped Wei Xingzhen's fingers.

Facing the elders she had never seen before, Feng Yan felt inexplicably kind, she tilted her head slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"She couldn't get past the hurdle back then, and now it's our turn."

……

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Qi still got up early like the day before.

She went for a morning jog like a parent, and she also went into the house to greet her parents when she passed by Siyongzhai - Feng Liulang was already sitting in the house, smiling and greeting her when she entered the house.

Li was still worried.

Xiao Qi smiled and approached his mother to make her happy, but was pushed aside by Li's shaved nose and sat aside.

She soon found that there was a letter on the table that had been opened, Xiao Qi picked it up and looked at the payment first, and found that there were two people's names signed there, one Feng Yikang and one Feng Yiping.

- It should be the names of the second and third brothers.

She glanced at the contents of the letter, and after reading a few lines, Li took the letter away.

"Don't move." Lee folded the letter,

Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, "I also saw it when you took it away - what happened on the mountain, why did they say in the letter that they might not be able to come back for a while?" Is it that they can't come back, or can't the fifth brother and sister come back? ”

This series of questions made Li even more entangled.

Although Erlang and San Lang's letters were two pages, what was written behind them were all some reminders for her and Feng Yuandao to pay attention to rest and work carefully, as for why they didn't come back, they didn't say a word at all.

But fortunately, a message from His Majesty was attached to the letter, and the Taohuawei surrounding the Feng Mansion has now dispersed - this probably means that His Majesty's previous anger has disappeared.

But Li is still not at ease, since she woke up today, her right eyelid has been jumping, and she always feels that something big is about to happen.

"Mother, you speak." Xiao Qi asked.

Li sighed, "Alas, you don't care about the affairs of adults. ”

Xiao Qi's expression was calm, and he took a few deep breaths on the spot.

After a while, she stood up, "Then I'll go back to the house and take care of the children, excuse me!" ”

The Li family hadn't come back to his senses yet, and Xiao Qi had already run out without looking back.

"Little Seven!" Li shouted, but Xiao Qi had already run out of the courtyard gate.

"Mother, don't worry," Rokuro stood up, "I'll chase after me." ”

"Eh," Li nodded repeatedly, "you go and see where she goes, if only she went back to the house—it's all about it, she shouldn't run around." ”
