Jingzhi suddenly withdrew her hand, much to Jason's embarrassment.

Fortunately, she immediately picked up the dessert spoon on the table, stuffed a large mouthful of cake into her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Jason saw that Jingzhi was eating vigorously, so he also picked up the dessert spoon and ate most of the cake on his plate.

"Go on, your story ......" Jingzhi sat quietly, "I think it's just a beginning......

Jason looked at Jingzhi's expectant eyes, picked himself up again, and patiently continued to tell his story.

"At first, my mother just wanted to stay in Beijing for one night, and planned to fly back to London the next day after the banquet.

Mom's Chinese is very average. She was alone in Beijing, and her grandparents were not at ease, so she asked her to return to London as soon as she finished playing.

As for my father, he studied in the United States and is very good at English, so he can communicate with his mother normally in English.

After Mom's performance was over, Dad took the initiative to walk over and talk to Mom in English.

Mom was overjoyed!

The appearance of her father made her discourage the idea of flying back to London immediately. Because, at the dinner, Dad offered to be Mom's tour guide and take her to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall that she wanted to go to the most.

Honestly, Dad is not a romantic person. Dad is Grandpa's only son. Since he was a child, his grandfather has always been very strict with him, so that before he met his mother, his father was like a wooden man and did not know romance at all.

Love can work miracles, do you believe it?

It was Mom who made Dad completely change a person, a person of flesh and blood and feelings; And my father also let my mother see the splendid civilization of our ancient country.

The next day, my father took my mother to the Forbidden City.

Because my grandparents were both archaeologists, they collected many books and photographs about Chinese historical monuments.

When my mother was very young, she saw many photos of the Forbidden City, most of them taken by British people who came to China in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, all black and white photos, without color and not very clear.

It is precisely because the architecture of the Forbidden City in the photo is not very clear that my mother made up her mind that she must go to the Forbidden City in person to see what the buildings inside are like.

Her wish came true after all, because she met her father. He took his mother to visit many buildings in the Forbidden City, which made his mother unforgettable for life.

You can easily imagine how shocked my mother, a native of the United Kingdom, was when she saw so many traditional Chinese buildings for the first time!

For my mother, for the first time, the Forbidden City has changed from rows of bricks and tiles in black-and-white photos to colorful palace buildings, which are both solemn and magnificent, making my mother linger.

At that time, there were no digital cameras, and my mother bought a lot of camera negatives, and eventually used them all up. She took a lot of photos, many landscape photos, and many photos of her father took her.

My mother told me that she had been to the Forbidden City many times since then. Sometimes she goes alone, sometimes her British friends come to Beijing, and she goes with them.

She feels that every time she goes to the Forbidden City, she will have a different experience. She said that the feeling is amazing, as if reading a classic book, no matter how many times you read it, every time you read it, you will have a new experience.

Of course, the most memorable thing for my mother was the first time she went to the Forbidden City, because her father accompanied her.

Later, my father took my mother to the Great Wall.

Mom's physical strength is not good, but she still walked a long way along the city wall, trying to see as much as possible the miracle in the history of world architecture built by our ancestors to protect the frontier land.

A few days later, her mother's vacation ended and she had to return to London. When she left, her father gave her a necklace, which was counted as a token of love. ”

After speaking, Jason took the Guanyin pendant that Jingzhi had noticed from the beginning of his neck from his neck, held it in his hand, and handed it to Jingzhi.

Jingzhi took the pendant and held it in her hand. Jason's body temperature was still on the pendant, as well as his father's endless love for her mother.

This gold necklace is exquisitely crafted and looks a little older. It's not that the surface is dusty, or rusty and aging, but the heavy gold exudes a faint taste of history, and the thick emerald green jade reflects the figure of the deceased.

Although the strong green Guanyin pendant is not large, it has a smooth surface, pure texture, and exquisite carving, which can be called a masterpiece.

"What a beautiful pendant!" Jingzhi sighed.

Jason took a few sips of tea and continued his story.

"This is a token that Grandpa gave to Grandma when he was engaged. Later, Grandma gave it to Dad and asked Dad to give it to his fiancée when he was engaged. Dad took it upon himself to give it to his mother as a token of love.

In those days, there weren't many people who were in free love. Dad and Mom are in a transnational relationship, so it is naturally difficult.

After my mother left Beijing, my father confessed to my grandfather about him and my mother. Grandpa was adamantly opposed.

When her mother came home, she confessed her relationship with her father to her parents. My grandparents were also adamantly opposed. ”

When Jason said this, Jingzhi put the necklace in the middle of Jason's palm and motioned for Jason to quickly put on such an important thing and not lose it.

Jason was very cooperative and immediately put the necklace around his neck.

The golden chain gently pressed against Jason's fair skin, coupled with the emerald Guanyin pendant like green bamboo, it was a perfect match!

Jingzhi couldn't help but be curious, and still asked, "How happened to your parents later?" With so many people opposing, how did they end up coming together? ”

"They were lucky enough to agree in the end." Jason explains.

Jingzhi was even more curious, and continued to ask, "Agreed?" It's as simple as that? ”

"Well, my father has been in a cold war with my grandfather because of the forced blind date. Later, my grandfather was hospitalized, and my grandmother and aunt, who were my father's only sisters, took care of my grandfather in the hospital.

They advised Grandpa not to restrict his father's freedom to marry, and in the end Grandpa had no choice but to agree.

As for my grandparents, they happened to have a joint project with an archaeological institute in Beijing and moved to Beijing to work for a while.

They met their father, were very satisfied with him, and in the end, they agreed to the marriage of their father and mother with peace of mind. With that, Jason paused, took a sip of his tea, and fell into deep thought.

Jingzhi stared at him blankly, quietly waiting for the end of the story.

Many tragic stories often have a dreamlike beginning. But at the end of the story, that dreamlike beginning, like a shooting star, no matter how dazzling, will eventually disappear into the endless night sky......
