......

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very dull, even if the food tasted good, but everyone's hearts were like a stone pressed, so heavy that people couldn't stand it.

Song Shuren's eyes were slightly dry, and when he saw this scene at the dinner table at this moment, he only felt that the regret in his heart was getting stronger.

If...... He's not so impulsive, and now everyone ...... Isn't it all fun?

He glanced lightly at the white-haired old man on the side, and seemed to be able to feel a slight bitterness from the other party's eating action.

Great-grandfather......

He put the rice grains on the chopsticks into his mouth and looked unconsciously at the wooden door on the right.

Grandmother......

At this moment, he suddenly heard the faint sound of the door opening.

Song Shuren was shocked in his heart and looked towards the door that made a sound, but this look almost made him lose his soul.

Be...... Grandmother?!

In his transparent glass-like eyes, he only saw that the wooden door belonging to his grandmother's room was slowly being opened, and then an old woman with a knitted hat was pushing a wheelchair and slowly walked out of the door.

Her hat was pressed low, as if deliberately not letting them see her cheeks.

She passed by the wooden chair, past her great-grandfather, past the dining table, and finally came to the kitchen alone.

Although Song Shuren paid most of his attention to his grandmother, Yu Guang kept looking at Su Changqing.

He saw his right hand holding the chopsticks pause, as if the chopsticks in his hand would fall in the next second.

Great-grandfather......

He was slightly stunned in his heart, but the next second he saw that the white-haired old man next to him did not eat anymore, but set his eyes on his grandmother, looking at her without blinking.

Song Shuren followed Su Changqing's gaze, and could only see that the elderly she stretched out a pair of wrinkled hands, picked up the cup, and was pouring boiled water into it.

Her hands trembled slightly, as if they were ...... Feeling a little trembling?

......

Su Changqing pursed her lips, but when she saw Su Qingmei's appearance of not being a ghost or a ghost, she sighed secretly, and unconsciously, her legs pushed back the chair and stood up, and slowly came to her.

Sitting in a wheelchair, she raised her head slightly because she was going to pour water, revealing half of her face full of scars, which was terrifying, but after seeing an extra pair of legs in front of her, Su Qingmei was stunned, and her right hand holding the water cup couldn't help shaking a few times, and then, she immediately lowered her head.

She didn't want him to see her embarrassed face now.

......

*

The minutes on the clock keep moving forward, making a stereotypical "pop, pop, pop" sound, which makes people panic.

And Su Qingmei was lying on the bed, silently looking up at the ceiling, listening to the constant sound every day, only to feel that there was a thick black fog everywhere in front of her.

She gently lifted her body with her arms, and when she moved slightly, she felt that her whole body would be in pain.

She's used to it.

Get used to the pain that comes with this daily routine.

Since she was found when she was a child, the dark wounds on her body that were originally painless have threatened her life every moment as she gradually grew older.

She...... Do you want to go on like this?

Su Qingmei thought so, and unconsciously the young man with the beautiful figure of the moon appeared in her mind.

She had forgotten what he looked like when he was younger, and even ...... What does he look like now...... She couldn't remember anymore......

She hated his ...... Is it really him?

Thinking so, the already faint light in her eyes dimmed even more.

She hated ...... It's herself......

She couldn't do anything about this distorted feeling, she couldn't cut it off or forget it, so she ...... She could only escape, but after so many years, she felt more and more confused.

......

To this day, she heard that familiar and unfamiliar voice again.

He seemed to be talking to someone else, and there seemed to be a faint sense of loss in his words.

Then, there was the sound of the bowl and chopsticks striking, they made a gentle and shallow sound, and finally knocked on her heart like a leaf falling into clear water.

She finally couldn't restrain herself a little and finally ...... She pushed the door open.

It's just that after seeing a large piece of light outside, she has a faint regret in her heart, compared to the darkness behind her, they are more and more like people from two worlds.

As she thought about it, her right hand suddenly unconsciously touched her face, and then, she felt the bumpy and uneven scars on her palm.

She squirmed her lips and tried to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

......

*

Su Changqing held the glass in his hand tightly, stretched out his hand, and handed the cup to Su Qingmei, who bowed her head and said nothing in front of her.

He opened his mouth, and two words finally came out of his mouth.

"Daughter......

"Don't call me that!"

Hearing this, Su Qingmei, who was originally calm in a wheelchair, seemed to have been stepped on by someone, and almost jumped up, she lowered her head, and her body reacted greatly, and she shook off his outstretched hand fiercely.

With a "snap", the glass fell to the ground, and a transparent flower bloomed on the white tile.

Su Changqing really didn't know what he had done wrong, he looked at his hands in a daze, and his face was distracted.

And just when he lost his mind, Su Qingmei on the side was stunned, as if she didn't expect such a result, but she still lowered her head, slowly pushed the wheelchair without saying a word, and left the kitchen.

......

*

Su Changqing didn't stay here for long, and after dinner, he said that his time to get on the bus was almost up, and after speaking, he walked out the door.

Thinking back to what had happened while he was here, he looked back at the small building behind him and sighed softly.

As soon as he walked out of the community, he saw a familiar chubby cat, which came out of the grass again and meowed softly at him.

This is...... The cat that came?

He looked at the other party's well-behaved appearance, and couldn't help but think of the things that had just happened in the house.

Or are you the best......

Su Changqing squatted down and touched its furry head, with a bitter smile on his face.

Thinking so, he suddenly remembered the cat and dog that had been waiting for him at home.

But at least...... There's still them waiting for him at home.

He thought so, a bitter smile faded from his face, he smiled slightly, got up again, carried a bag full of books, and once again set out on the way home.
