Ten years later, the Qingming Festival holiday.

Almost every year during Qingming, there will be a light rain in Los Angeles.

For so many years, Wei Chi has always maintained the habit of getting up early, and he got up before six o'clock.

Over the years, he has been busy with work, but he basically goes home every day, except for business trips, he basically does not leave Cheng Rao and his children.

Wei Chi didn't wake up Cheng Rao when she woke up, she tutored the Long March homework until half past eleven last night, and slept a little late.

Yu Chi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and tucked the corners of the quilt for her.

After coming out of the bedroom, he went downstairs to get breakfast.

He has been learning to cook for many years, and at first he was looking for an aunt at home, and he followed her to learn basic home cooking, and then he simply made it himself.

Cheng Rao can't cook, and she hasn't been able to cook for so many years.

Of course, he didn't think about letting her learn.

While cooking in the kitchen, Wei Chi glanced at the weather outside.

The rain was not very heavy, but the weather was gloomy, and the atmosphere was really lethargic.

By the time Wei Chi finished breakfast, it was nearly seven o'clock.

After making breakfast, Wei Chi went upstairs to call Cheng Rao to come down for dinner, and when he entered the bedroom, he found that the Long March had already gotten into bed, and Cheng Rao had also woken up.

When Wei Chi came in, the Long March was reciting the ancient poems that Cheng Rao had learned a few days ago.

Long March is their son, who is seven years old this year.

The process of having a child was very difficult, and it took two or three years before I succeeded in having a child.

Cheng Rao had a miscarriage before, and her health has not been very good, and when she went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor said that the possibility of her pregnancy was very, very small.

At that time, the plan given by the hospital was for them to try IVF.

Wei Chi does not believe in evil and refuses to try.

Later, the two of them worked hard for almost three years, and Cheng Rao's stomach finally moved.

The name of the Long March was taken by Wei Chi.

There are several meanings in this, the first meaning is naturally the process of chasing Cheng Rao at the beginning, and later after being together, Wei Chi will always ridicule that chasing her back then was comparable to a long march of thousands of miles;

The second meaning is that the process of having children is very difficult, and it takes almost three years, which is comparable to the Long March.

Long March was born prematurely, but fortunately there were no obvious health problems, and he was still very smart, but his temperament was a little too direct.

Cheng Rao often said that this point was with Wei Chi.

Cheng Rao had lost a child before, and after the Long March, her feelings for the Long March were completely different.

Cheng Rao is now working as a doctor in the military hospital, and she is usually very busy with work, but as long as she returns home, no matter what problems the Long March has, she will patiently solve them for him.

Yu Chi had never imagined that Cheng Rao would have such a side before.

………

Wei Chi didn't bother their mother and son, and waited until the Long March finished reciting a poem before he spoke.

"I've got breakfast, let's eat."

Cheng Rao let out a "hmm" and got up from the bed.

Long March: "Dad, what did you do?" Isn't it tomato noodles again~"

Recently, Wei Chi often makes tomato noodles, and the Long March children said that they are about to vomit.

"It's not." Wei Chi said, "Today is egg noodles. ”

Long March breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally not tomato noodles." ”

"Long March, go brush your teeth first." Cheng Rao patted her son on the shoulder.

Long March nodded obediently, and then ran outside to brush his teeth.

Long March has been relatively independent since he was a child, and when he was four years old, he basically didn't need help, and could wash his face and brush his teeth by himself.

After Long March went out of the bedroom, Wei Chi looked at Cheng Rao and said, "Get up, let's go to the cemetery after eating." ”

"It's raining out there again?" Cheng Rao asked.

Wei Chi: "The rain is not heavy, it's okay." ”

Cheng Rao didn't answer, got off the bed and went to wash.

………

Ten minutes later, the family of three sat down at the table.

Cheng Rao didn't talk much, and she basically didn't squeak when she ate.

Today was a special day for her, and Wei Chi tried not to disturb her.

During the meal, Wei Chi said to Long March: "I will send you to Uncle Shen's house later, and you can play at his house for a day." ”

Long March: "Where are you and your mother going?" ”

Wei Chi: "Something." ”

Long March: "Oh, okay......"

After eating, it was almost eight o'clock.

Fortunately, Shen Yang's house is not far away, and it takes less than ten minutes to drive.

**

After sending the Long March to Shen Yang's house, Wei Chi took Cheng Rao to the flower room to fetch flowers.

On the way to the cemetery, Cheng Rao did not speak.

She hung her head and stared at her hands, her eyes full of sadness.

Seeing her like this, Yu Chi slapped her arm with a free hand.

He didn't speak, only hoping to reassure her with this action.

Cheng Rao still didn't react.

The wipers were moving back and forth, the drizzle was still falling outside, and the sky was dark.

When I went to the cemetery in the north of the city, it was already two hours later.

It coincides with a holiday, and the highway is jammed and slow.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the cemetery in the north of the city, the weather was clear.

Wei Chi parked the car in the parking lot at the door, and was a little surprised: "It's sunny." ”

This was said to Cheng Rao.

Cheng Rao said "um", which was a response, and then opened the car door and got out of the car.

She walked around the car to the trunk and pulled flowers out of it.

Yu Chi came up and got it with her. After seeing the bouquet of pink carnations, Cheng Rao's eyes were a little moist and hot.

She raised her hand and wiped away a handful of tears.

After seeing her movements, Wei Chi raised his hand and hugged her into his arms.

"Don't cry, Mom definitely doesn't want you to cry."

Cheng Rao pursed her lips and let Wei Chi hug her and go inside.

Walking to Huang Ping's tombstone, Qiao Ruzhang was already there.

Judging by the way he looks, he must have been here for a long time.

"Uncle Qiao." Cheng Rao shouted at him.

Ten years have passed, Qiao Ruzhang has aged a lot, but the whole person is still spiritual.

Seeing Cheng Rao and Wei Chi coming, he smiled at the two of them, "It's here." ”

Wei Chi: "There is a bit of a traffic jam on the road, and it's late." ”

Qiao Ruzhang: "It's okay, how is the Long March lately?" ”

Yu Chi: "Well, that's good. ”

Cheng Rao bent down and put the carnation in front of the tombstone, and then knelt down.

After seeing her move like this, Wei Chi knelt down with her.

The weather was clear, the sun was shining on the two of them, Qiao Ruzhang stood by and watched the unified movements of the two of them, and then looked at the photo of Huang Ping on the tombstone, and sighed.

If she had a spirit in the sky, she should be very pleased to see this scene, right?

After Cheng Rao went to Jingshan Temple, Huang Ping's physical condition has not been very good.

She died in the summer of the following year when Cheng Rao went to Jingshan Temple, with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and died after rescue efforts failed.

Huang Ping's death hit them all hard, especially Cheng Rao.

This is the fourth time in her life that she has experienced something like this.

During that time, Yu Chi was by her side almost every day, helping her deal with Huang Ping's funeral.

Wei Chi didn't know much about the company's affairs, Qiao Ruzhang helped find a professional manager to manage it, all of whom he trusted, and the company has developed well under the management of managers over the years.

Cheng Rao and Wei Chi were not interested in business, so Qiao Ruzhang did not force them.

To say that the most gratifying thing over the years should be that Cheng Rao and Wei Chi have finally come together.

Wei Chi's feelings for Cheng Rao, they are all obvious to all.

Qiao Ruzhang also knew that Huang Ping had always liked Wei Chi very much.

Now that Cheng Rao and Wei Chi are married and have children, if she is still here, she will definitely be very happy.

………

Cheng Rao knelt down and kowtowed a few times, but never got up after that.

Wei Chi knelt like this with her.

Cheng Rao didn't speak, and he didn't speak.

However, every year, he would kneel in front of the tombstone and make a promise to Huang Ping in his heart-

I'll treat her well for a while, and I'll never let her get hurt again.

Cheng Rao and Yu Chi knelt in front of Huang Ping's tombstone for about twenty minutes, and when they got up, Wei Chi was slightly numb in his legs, but it was fine.

It's Cheng Rao, she is anemic all the year round, and when she gets up, her eyes are black.

Fortunately, Wei Chi has been supporting her, and he knows better than herself what her body is.

So sometimes feelings are really a very amazing thing, and a person like him who is so rough and leafy can become so careful for her.

"Dizzy?" Wei Chi pressed the back of Cheng Rao's head and let her lean against her chest, "Lean for a while, slow down." ”

Cheng Rao didn't move, just leaned on him.

He smelled of laundry detergent, which was refreshing, similar to when they first met.

Smelling this familiar smell, Cheng Rao remembered a lot of things from the past.

Qiao Ruzhang saw Cheng Rao leaning on Wei Chi's shoulder like this, and smiled with satisfaction.

He said, "Let's take the Long March home for dinner tomorrow." ”

Wei Chi agreed: "Okay." ”

Qiao Ruzhang should still have something to do, so he stayed in the cemetery for a long time and left.

After he left, Wei Chi and Cheng Rao were still standing in place.

Yu Chi knew that Cheng Rao was going to see Xiao Ye next.

After the two of them got married, Cheng Rao has always maintained such a habit.

Every year, Wei Chi will accompany her.

In fact, by now, he doesn't mind Xiao Ye at all, maybe because he and Cheng Rao have come together, and he doesn't care much about those things in the past.

Moreover, the deceased is gone, even if Cheng Rao misses Xiao Ye again, Xiao Ye will never come back-

When people are young, they always torture themselves because of all kinds of facts that cannot be changed, and now that I look back, in fact, many things are unnecessary.

Wei Chi held Cheng Rao and stood in front of Huang Ping's tombstone for a while.

After about five minutes, he took the initiative to ask Cheng Rao: "Do you want to see him?" ”

Cheng Rao nodded and withdrew from his arms.

Wei Chi didn't mind too much, he glanced ahead and said, "Let's go." ”

Cheng Rao didn't respond, turned around first, and walked towards Xiao Ye's tombstone.

Xiao Ye's tombstone was far away, and it took ten minutes to walk in the cemetery.

Wei Chi was holding flowers in his hand, and after stopping in front of the tombstone, he was about to bend down to put the flowers, but was interrupted by Cheng Rao.

Cheng Rao said, "I'll come." ”

“…… Good. Wei Chi handed her the bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Cheng Rao took it, put the flower in front of the tombstone, and knelt down again.

Xiao Ye, I'm coming to see you again.

You okay.

She stared at the photo opposite, her eyes finally dry, and they were wet with tears again.

It seems like every year when I come over, it's like that.

She tries to avoid thinking about Xiao Ye on weekdays, she is busy with work when she is in the hospital, and she has to tutor her Long March homework when she is at home, and when she is busy, she rarely thinks about the past.

However, every year on the Qingming Festival, as well as his death day, she still can't control her tears.

Even, she was still thinking about how good it would be if he was alive, if he didn't have a face exactly the same as Jing Yao.

In that case, the outcome between them will definitely be different.

………

This time, Wei Chi did not kneel with Cheng Rao.

He bent down and cleaned up the weeds that had grown near the tombstone and threw them into the trash can on the side.

Cheng Rao cried again just now, he saw it.

Ten years later, he is no longer as impulsive as he was when he was younger.

If it had been before, seeing her crying for Xiao Ye, she would probably have been swallowed up by jealousy.

But now, he can deal with it calmly.

Cheng Rao gave Xiao Ye a vigorous love, but gave him a long life.

He initially longed for her 100% love, but after going through so many things, all he wanted was her "life".

When Cheng Rao was with him, 80% of them were because they were moved.

In that heavy snowfall, after he hugged her and said "I love you", she did not follow him without hesitation.

For more than five months, she remained at Jingshan Temple.

Wei Chi would come to her almost every week, but she would hide every time.

For more than five months, the number of times two people have met can be counted on one hand.

Later, Huang Ping died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, which was another great blow to her.

Yu Chi clearly remembered how hard Cheng Rao cried when she came back, he had never seen her cry like that, and he was angry.

Wei Chi was also sad. At that time, there was only one thought left in his head: for the rest of his life, he must protect her well and give her a home.

She lost her father when she was young, then Xiao Ye and a child, and then her mother......

She knelt in the hospital room that day, crying hysterically, crying and saying "there is really nothing now".

She was trembling and her whole face was pale.

At that time, Wei Chi rushed up and hugged her tightly.

At that time, he only said four words-

"You still have me". He has never been a sweet talker, and he will definitely do what he says.

A large part of the reason why Cheng Rao was shaken to be with him was because she was moved.

Recalling what happened before, Wei Chi had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He thought about it carefully, probably relieved.

In fact, his request is already very simple -

No matter what the reason, as long as Cheng Rao is willing to be with him.

Over the years, her attitude has been much better than before.

Especially after the Long March, the two of them hardly quarreled. He obeyed her, and she didn't make any excessive demands.

The days are as calm as water.

Yu Chi was thinking so, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Cheng Rao.

She pressed her face to the tombstone and put her arms around it.

Yu Chi didn't move, just looked at her.

The afternoon sun shone on her, illuminating her hair golden, and when she looked at it from a distance, the picture was a little beautiful.

Wei Chi raised his head to look at the sky, and his mood was very calm.

This is probably the power of time.

In the past, if he saw such a picture, he would probably be jealous to death.

But now, he is peaceful.

He and she are married and have children, and the future will be hand in hand for a lifetime.

And Xiao Ye ...... No matter how much you love, you will be a passerby after all.

They are all prostrate at the feet of fate, no matter how tenacious they are, they can't fight the tricks of fate.

Cheng Rao hugged the tombstone and slowly closed her eyes.

[I'm doing well, you should rest assured.

You're going to have a good day, too.

If there is an afterlife...... We're going to have a daughter.

I know you're going to hurt her a lot.

I'd love to go to you, but I can't.

Because I have children. He needs me.

You'll understand me, right.

I still have the ring, and so do your clothes.

I'm sorry, but I ended up losing to reality and fate. 】

She knew that Xiao Ye would not hear these words at all, but it would be much more comfortable to say it like this.

When Cheng Rao opened her eyes, the scene in front of her was already a little blurry, and she saw a photo of Xiao Ye on the tombstone, and he seemed to be smiling with his lips hooked in the photo.

Cheng Rao's expression froze, and she raised her hand to wipe her tears.

When I looked closely, the photo was still the same one.

She knew that it was mostly her own hallucination.

It's not too early, it's time to go.

Wei Chi kept looking at her, and when he saw that she was about to stand up, he immediately walked up and helped her.

Cheng Rao's legs were numb, and she couldn't stand steadily when she got up.

Wei Chi glanced down at her calf, then squatted down directly in front of her, raised his hand to rub her calf for her.

“…… All right. Cheng Rao saw Yu Chi like this, and her chest was a little sore.

She raised her hand and tugged at Wei Chi's arm, "You get up." ”

"Then I'll carry you out." Wei Chi got up and started to hug her.

"No, you don't." Cheng Rao said, "It's much better now, let's go." ”

She said a little crisply today, and Wei Chi was a little surprised.

After she came a few years ago, she was always reluctant to leave.

"Don't stay and talk to him again?" Yu Chi asked her.

Cheng Rao was stunned for a moment when she heard Wei Chi ask, and then raised her head to look at him.

There were too many mixed emotions in her eyes.

Yu Chi was a little uncomfortable when she looked at her like this.

He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose and smiled: "What's the matter, what are you looking at?" ”

"Nothing." Cheng Rao grabbed his arm, "Let's go, I'm hungry, I want to eat hot pot." ”

As soon as Cheng Rao said this, Wei Chi reacted, it was already two o'clock at this time, and they hadn't eaten lunch yet.

"Okay, go now." After saying that, he hugged Cheng Rao and walked out.

When leaving, Cheng Rao glanced back at the tombstone.

She seemed to see him laughing again.

When he was about to take a closer look, he was interrupted by Wei Chi's words: "Let's go to Jinghai to eat, and after eating, buy cakes for the Long March and go back." ”

After hearing Yu Chi's voice, Cheng Rao retracted her gaze.

Thinking of the Long March, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"Okay." Cheng Rao grabbed Yu Chi's arm and followed her out of the cemetery.

**

On the way back to the city, the highway was smooth and sunny.

Today's temperature is 26 degrees, which is the most comfortable temperature.

The lieutenant opened the skylight bare, and the sun shone in, shining warmly on the person.

After the Long March, Wei Chi and Cheng Rao went out to eat less and less.

The two of them are also busy with work, and after the Long March went to elementary school, they were busy with schoolwork, and the spare time of the two of them was basically spent accompanying the Long March.

It's rare to have space for two.

After eating, it was already five o'clock.

After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Cheng Rao and Wei Chi went to a famous dessert shop in the mall and bought cakes for the Long March.

Cheng Rao usually manages the eating of the Long March more strictly, such as cakes, and she can't eat them a few times a year.

However, children love sweet food, and it doesn't hurt to eat it once in a while.

After buying the cake, the two of them went to Shen Yang's house to pick up the Long March.

By the time it passed, it was already six o'clock.

Shen Yang and Hua Ling are both at home on vacation.

In the first six or seven years, Shen Yang also changed jobs.

He now works in the Inland Revenue Bureau as a leader, while Hua Ling and Cheng Rao are colleagues, both working in hospitals.

The two of them gave birth to a daughter, and they lived a good life.

**

Cheng Rao and Wei Chi went back after dinner.

The Long March tossed around in Shen Yang's house for a day, and he was too tired to do it, and after returning home and washing up, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

Cheng Rao covered the Long March with a quilt and stared at him as he fell asleep for a while.

The Long March and Wei Chi look very similar.

People say that boys are like mothers, but Long March is not like Cheng Rao at all, he and Wei Chi are basically carved out of the same mold.

Cheng Rao has seen the photos of Wei Chi when he was a child, which is exactly the same as the Long March now.

The Long March is tall, which should also be inherited from Wei Chi.

And also...... Integrity.

Cheng Rao remembered that once before, Long March had a fight with someone at school, and she was called over by a kindergarten teacher.

The Long March has always been very obedient, and Cheng Rao was a little angry at the time and asked him why he was fighting.

Later, Long March told her that it was because he saw the child bullying the weak.

As soon as she heard him say this, Cheng Rao lost her temper.

At that time, she had an idea - it was his father's son.

His indignant appearance really resembled Wei Chi.

………

When Cheng Rao stared at the Long March and was distracted, Wei Chi came in.

He took a glass of water in his hand, and when he entered the door, he found that Long March was asleep.

Wei Chi immediately lightened his steps, and his voice was lowered.

He asked Cheng Rao: "Asleep?" ”

Cheng Rao said "um".

Wei Chi put the water on the bedside table, walked to the bedside, and stared at the Long March for a while.

Cheng Rao asked Wei Chi: "Is it very similar to you?" ”

Wei Chi smiled, "Nonsense, of course my son is like me." ”

Cheng Rao stared at him and didn't speak.

Wei Chi asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Cheng Rao shook her head, "It's okay." ”

With that, she stood up.

Wei Chi immediately followed her, and the two of them walked out of the bedroom of the Long March.

After coming out, Cheng Rao yawned.

When Wei Chi saw her yawning, he asked, "Sleepy, hurry up and wash and sleep." ”

Cheng Rao nodded, took a change of clothes and went to take a shower.

She and Wei Chi washed in two separate bathrooms, and basically washed them at the same time.

………

After lying down on the bed, Wei Chi opened his arms and hugged Cheng Rao and turned off the light at the head of the bed.

Cheng Rao didn't push him away, so she leaned on his arms.

His embrace is reassuring.

In addition, she was sleepy, but in a few minutes, she fell into a deep sleep.

Hearty and sweet.

In the dream, she and Xiao Ye sat face to face.

Xiao Ye asked her, "Are you in love with Captain Chi?" ”

She hesitated, first shaking her head, then nodding her head.

How do you define "love"?

She once thought that vigorous and vigorous was love, unswerving loyalty was love, and unrepentant until death was love;

Later, she lost all the way and searched all the way;

Now that she is close to the age of confusion, she understands:

The long stream of water is love, moisturizing things silently is love, and a lifetime is also love.

(The first version of the ending?) Postscript? ENDS)
