Ye Shengxiao put the things in her hands aside first, her eyes were gentle and her tone was firm.

"Of course, Xiao Li, although grandpa has left our side, he has always lived in our hearts, hasn't he?"

Xiao Li sighed long and was silent for a long time, then slightly raised the corners of his lips to Ye Shengxiao.

"Shengxiao, you are right, grandpa is always in my heart."

The suffocation pressing on Xiao Li's heart dissipated a lot at this moment. He ate some food and let Ye Shengxiao go back to rest.

"You're still talking about me. You haven't had much rest in the past few days to accompany me. Go and get some sleep. I can just stay here alone."

Of course Ye Shengxiao refused.

In addition to wanting to accompany Xiao Li, she also wanted to cherish the last few hours with the old man.

Xiao Li knew he couldn't resist her, so he let her go. He just asked the servant to bring another coat and put it on Ye Shengxiao.

"Thank you, you also need to add some clothes." Ye Shengxiao said softly.

"Ok, I know."

Xiao Li's tone was also very soft, and the two of them lowered their voices in a tacit understanding, as if they were afraid of waking up the sleeping old man in the crystal coffin.

Midsummer has passed, and after several autumn rains, the temperature has gradually dropped. When she was more exposed, scenes about this old man who truly cared about her flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, and finally settled on the last scene she saw of the old man.

.

That time she took Yuanyuan with her.

The little girl got close to the old man and recited all the Tang poems she had learned during that period to him. After finishing, she even praised herself for being so good. Amid the old man's appreciation, her interest became even higher, and she eagerly combined the idioms she had learned with other idioms.

I showed off all my knowledge to the old man.

The little round mouth kept chattering, but the old man listened attentively the whole time, and occasionally gave Yuanyuan a thumbs up. Although he was old, his face was covered with wrinkles, but there was a loving smile in his eyes.

The meaning overflowed all over his face.

The old man was full of praise for Yuanyuan. He smiled and rubbed his beard against the little breast dumpling's face to tease him, making Yuanyuan giggle non-stop.

Thinking of this scene as if it were yesterday, Ye Shengxiao's eyes gradually became misty.

It was a scene that could be called family happiness. If possible, Ye Shengxiao would like to travel back in time, record that precious moment, and engrave it in her heart forever.

Grandpa was still in good spirits at that time, and Ye Shengxiao even thought that the old man might be able to be discharged from the hospital soon.

However, only half a month had passed, no, not even half a month had passed, and the old man was separated from them forever.

Ye Shengxiao's eyes were burning, mixed with a faint stinging pain, all because she had shed too many tears in the past few days. She blinked her eyes and tried hard to restrain the hot tears in her eyes.

After this incident, she deeply realized the meaning of the word "impermanence".

It was also the death of a close relative. As Ye Shengxiao thought about it, she inevitably thought of her mother, Du Qingya.

And at this moment, in the flash of lightning, a thought flashed through her mind.

Like a muffled thunder exploding in his mind, Ye Shengxiao even forgot to breathe for a moment.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at the crystal coffin behind the black and white photo.

Just a dozen days ago, Grandpa's body did not show any major problems. She also consulted the doctor, who only said that it was a common disease of the elderly. She told him that as long as he took a good rest in the hospital, it would not be a problem.

There will be big problems.

After hearing what the doctor said, Ye Shengxiao breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her worries about her grandfather.

This was originally a good sign. Ye Shengxiao had always had good hopes in her heart. When her grandfather was discharged from the hospital, she would take him to her home and make Yuanyuan Chenghuan his wife. She and Xiao Li should also fulfill their filial piety and let the old man spend his old age peacefully.

.

So is everything really impermanent? Why did grandpa's situation take a turn for the worse without warning?

Ye Shengxiao's mind felt as if a hurricane had suddenly blown up, causing confusion for a moment.

Her mother Du Qingya’s gentle and beautiful face, her pale and weak complexion after being ill, her body that quickly lost weight and her sudden passing away, all these images began to replay in Ye Shengxiao’s mind, mixed with the scenes when her grandfather was still alive.

picture.

She calmed herself down and compared the two things together carefully.

The more I think about it, the more strange it becomes.

The cause of my mother's death was a mystery, and the truth has still not been revealed, and the people hiding behind it have still not been brought to justice. But today, many years later, is the same thing happening around us again?

Ye Shengxiao's whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

The night was condensing, and the moonlight was pale, shining in the quiet mourning hall. An autumn wind suddenly picked up, rolling up the fallen leaves in the courtyard and making a rustling sound. It was particularly clear in the silent night, like the whimpering and unwilling accusation of the wronged person.

Xiao Li noticed something strange about the people around him and quickly turned his head to ask with concern.

"Shengxiao? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Shengxiao had already broken out in a cold sweat without realizing it. The night wind blew and she shivered involuntarily.

"Xiao Li, I...I have a terrible suspicion."

When Xiao Li saw something wrong with her expression, his expression became serious.

"What guess? Just say, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Do you think my grandfather's death was not an accident, but man-made?"

These words were like a huge stone, causing ripples in Xiao Li's heart. He frowned and lowered his eyes.

"Why do you say that?"

Ye Shengxiao was also shocked and confused. She carefully recalled the details and events in her mind.

"I don't know, it's just an intuition. When I think about it carefully, my mother's sudden death has many inexplicable similarities. It's the same haste, the same lack of warning, and my grandfather clearly knew it before.

He was in good spirits. When I took Yuanyuan to visit his old man, grandpa held Yuanyuan in his arms and told him stories. At that time, I even thought that grandpa's illness would be cured soon..."

"I also asked the doctor, and the doctor also said that everything was stable and there were no other special lesions. Grandpa's physical condition was normal at that time. So why did we not get the news that Grandpa's health was getting better, but the notice that he had passed away? Xiao

Li, the more I think about it, the weirder it gets!"

Ye Shengxiao replayed the scenes that happened after the old man's death in her mind. Suddenly her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly raised her eyes.
