Chapter 116: Choice

Bai Mu didn't delay for too long, sighed slightly, and rushed towards the place where his parents' mausoleum was located according to the map drawn by the old dean for himself.

After walking around for a long time, Shiraki found his parents' tombstones in a wasteland of weedy beings.

"Best friend Menglan, the tomb of Zishi, Nian Yaoli."

Nian Yao, the name of the old dean. Obviously, this tombstone was erected by the old dean for his parents. Since no one has been here for a long time, the tombstone is already covered with moss.

"Dad, Mom, I finally see you...", seeing this scene, Bai Mu couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt down, and put down the flower in his hand, which he bought before getting into the car.

"Dad, Mom, I'm looking for you so hard! You know, like you, I've found my love, she's a nice girl, but..."

"What should I do?"

Bai Mu hugged the tombstone and cried bitterly for a long time, as if he was going to cry out about his thoughts for so many years, until he finished all the words in his heart, and Bai Mu slowly calmed down.

Carefully wiping the moss and dust off the tombstone, Bai Mu saw a few lines of small words engraved in front of the tombstone.

"Menglan, Zishi, don't worry, I will treat Bai Mu as my own child and take good care of him. Hopefully, this child's fate won't be as bumpy as yours! - August 23, 1991. ”

Bai Mu was stunned, this line of words should have been left by the old dean! August 23, 91 was the day when my father operated on my mother. That day, my mother never got off the operating table again. Because of this, the father fell into deep self-reproach and followed his mother.

That day was the day when Shiraki and his parents were separated by yin and yang...

"Menglan, Zishi, Bai Mu has begun to babble now, he is very healthy, you can rest assured. I hope you have a spirit in heaven and can bless this child a lot. - August 23, 1992. ”

"Menglan, Zishi, Bai Mu, this little guy has learned to walk, he is very cute and sensible, I want to see you when I see him. How nice it would have been if that hadn't happened! - August 23, 1993. ”

……

"Menglan, Zishi, Bai Mu, this child is already in elementary school, his academic performance is very good, and his little brain is also very smart, which is completely inherited from your genes. It's just that he keeps pestering me and asking me where you have been, but I don't know how to tell him, I hope that it won't happen to this kid! - 23 August 1997. ”

……

"Menglan, Zishi, Bai Mu, this kid has won a music competition, he is very powerful, I believe you must have seen it in the sky! However, Bai Mu did not choose to become famous in one fell swoop, he chose to use his achievements to fight for better living conditions for the children in the entire welfare home, he is our pride! Also our little heroes! Menglan, Zishi, we are going to move away, for the sake of Bai Mu and for these children to have a better life, I may not be able to come to see you often in the future. But don't worry, I'll take good care of Shiraki. - 23 August 2002. ”

The message came to an abrupt end here.

Shiraki's mind was pulled back a long time.

After the music competition ended, someone came to Bai Mu and wanted to sign Bai Mu to develop in the entertainment industry, but Bai Mu refused. Later, they decided to hit their own song, which Shiraki wrote for his parents! In the song, Shiraki misses his parents. So when the old dean learned the news, he refused without hesitation. The child had no parents anymore, and she couldn't let Shiraki do that.

But Bai Mu agreed, in order to make the children in the welfare home have better living conditions, he did not regret it. And he believes that his parents must be able to understand him.

Later, the record company made a lot of money with the song, but it didn't quite live up to their promise. It is precisely because of this that the old dean and the children of the welfare home have always been haunted. But Shiraki is already satisfied, after all, the living conditions there are much better than here.

Since they moved away, the old dean has not had a chance to return here. After all, the distance between the two places is too far, and so many children in the welfare home still need her to take care of them.

Shiraki stood up, cleared all the weeds around him, and then solemnly kowtowed to his parents' tombstone three times. After doing this, Shiraki took a deep look at his parents' tombstone before turning to leave.

Walking on the country road, Shiraki's mind gradually calmed down.

With the passage of time, the few remaining families here have long since moved away, leaving only the traces of the old. However, these made Bai Mu linger. Although the scenery here is not very good, it is not as prosperous as in the city. But here, there are full of childhood memories! Seeing this, Shiraki forgot about the pain for a while.

Before he knew it, Shiraki walked to the former site of the welfare home. Looking at the scene in the depths of his memory, Bai Mu couldn't help but stop. The pictures of the past appeared in front of Bai Mu's eyes one by one, and the corners of his mouth finally appeared with a touch of arc again.

After staying in this place for a long time, Bai Mu reluctantly left and stepped on the bus back.

Sitting on the bus, Bai Mu hesitated for a moment and dialed the old dean's phone, "Dean..."

"Shiraki?" Hearing that familiar voice, the old dean breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that the child would not be able to think about it, "Have you seen your parents?" ”

"See," Shiraki nodded, "Dean, thank you for telling me this, the knot in my heart has finally opened..."

The old dean smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I'd rather you never know this. ”

Oh, yes! If it weren't for Bai Mu's body, the old dean would rather bury this secret in his heart forever. Because of this, at least Shiraki won't be as really painful as he is now.

Bai Mu was silent for a moment, "Dean, I want to ask you for a favor..."

Hearing this, the old dean immediately hesitated. After a long time, he asked, "Have you really decided?"

"Hmm..."Bai Mu nodded, looking out the window, his gaze deep and complicated, "I don't want Xinwan to try this pain..."

The old dean sighed deeply and said, "Okay... Now that you've decided, what else can I say? Are you still coming back? ”

"No," Shiraki shook his head, "I'll go straight back to school, and I still need to prepare carefully for this matter..."

Oh, yes! That's a lot of things!

What a painful choice!
