还是那座墓园.

The continuous drizzle had stopped, and the sun shone with golden light, which just enveloped the tombstone, illuminating the photo.

Ning Zhou and Jiang Hangting were standing in front of the tombstone in black suits, surrounded by a quiet silence that could be heard.

Ning Zhou was already mentally prepared on the way here, but when he saw Wei Qibai's tomb, Ning Zhou still felt sorrowful.

Logically speaking, he had never seen the owner of the tombstone, and her name was only heard a few days ago, but now standing here, an unspeakable sadness enveloped him.

Ning Zhou leaned over and placed a bouquet of chrysanthemums on the tombstone.

"I'm sorry, I'm just here to see you now." Ning Zhou and the person on the tombstone said, his voice softly, with a slight silence.

A breeze blows, and the petals of the chrysanthemums sway in the wind.

The person in the photo has a bright smile, but it is always frozen in that moment.

Ning Zhou took a deep look.

He stood up and bowed.

He did not get up immediately, and the bow stayed for a long time.

Jiang Hangting stood beside Ning Zhou, bent down and bowed like Ning Zhou, and thanked the woman who gave birth to Ning Zhou in his heart.

She should be in love with Ning Zhou, otherwise she would not have chosen to give birth to Ning Zhou before leaving.

Perhaps it was because it was too painful back then and could not find a way to liberation, so I chose to seek liberation in that extreme way.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

After a long time, Ning Zhou got up and stared at Wei Qibai's photo again.

There was a wave surging in his chest, and his arms hanging beside him trembled slightly.

Finally, he said in a hoarse voice: "Mom, I will come to see you often in the future."

While this sentence broke through his throat, his eyes were soaked with tears.

Jiang Hangting reached out and held Ning Zhou's hand, and wrapped his palm tightly in his hand, "Let's go back."

Ning Zhou nodded.

Then he turned back and looked at Wei Qibai's tombstone until he could no longer see it.

When they left the cemetery, it was around 3 noon and they made an appointment with Shen Yufei to have dinner together in the evening.

When Shen Yufei looked for Jiang Hangting before, she did not tell the whole story of that year. She just said it roughly, but there were still many doubts and many things could not be explained.

So today Ning Zhou returned to City A to worship Wei Qibai, and also made an appointment with Shen Yufei.

He wanted to learn more from Shen Yufei.

They met in a private restaurant in City A. This restaurant was run by an actor who had retired from the entertainment industry. He did not make any name in the entertainment industry, but the private restaurant he opened became a famous restaurant in the circle because it focused on the best and good taste. Some artists liked this private restaurant when they were having dinner outside.

The location of the private restaurant is a bit remote. In an alley, the entrance door is about the same size as the door of an ordinary bedroom. It has no signs and looks like an ordinary family.

But after entering, there is another world.

Pastoral style decoration makes people feel like they return to nature.

Shen Yufei and Lin Zhengping were obviously regular customers of the restaurant. Not long after they walked in, the owner of the restaurant came out to greet him.

Ning Zhou only felt that the boss looked familiar, and he must have seen it in a TV series.

The boss was stunned when he saw Ning Zhou, turned around and asked Shen Yufei in surprise: "Is this Wei Qibai's son?"

"Yes." Shen Yufei nodded and introduced to Ning Zhou that the boss had worked with Wei Qibai.

No wonder Ning Zhou felt familiar. The boss has become round now. If he loses weight, Ning Zhou should be able to tell who the other party is at a glance.

The boss looked behind them, "Didn't Wei Qibai come?"

Shen Yufei was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "She has something to do."

This is the answer she has repeatedly given over the years.

The boss is used to it. After all, there is no Wei Qibai among the people brought by Shen Yufei over the years. He thought that Wei Qibai's son would come here this time, and Wei Qibai should also come.

Unexpectedly, I still didn't come.

As before, the boss did not mess with this issue anymore and greeted them enthusiastically: "The private room is ready. I bought the freshest spring bamboo shoots this morning, and I will give you a pickled and fresh dish."

There is no menu in a private restaurant, and what you eat today depends on the ingredients you receive today.

The boss led them into the private room.

It is said that the private room is actually a courtyard, and the dining table is placed on the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

After he asked the guests to sit down, the boss went to prepare the ingredients himself.

There were finally no outsiders around.

Ning Zhou looked at Shen Yufei, his eyes full of doubts.

One of Sun Peirong and the boss just now didn't seem to know that Wei Qibai had passed away twenty years ago.

"I know what you want to ask," Shen Yufei picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, trying to cover up her expression with the water cup. "In fact, not many people know that your mother has passed away."

The news of Wei Qibai's death was not made public to the public. Except for a few friends, others did not know that Wei Qibai had passed away.

She walked quietly.

"Why?" Ning Zhou asked, but his voice was a little dry.

Shen Yufei's voice suddenly became cold, and the water cup in her hand fell heavily on the table, "Because someone made her 'disgraceful'."

She immediately realized her loss of composure, said "sorry", and her eyes fell on the rippling water below the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and began to tell the past.

Although twenty years have passed, the past is still vivid in my mind. Whenever I think about it, I will leave unparalleled pain in Shen Yufei's heart.

Wei Qibai and Ning Changxiong are college classmates. They got to know each other in college and fell in love for three years.

Everyone around them thought they would enter the palace of marriage, but just when they were talking about marriage, Ning Changxiong's mother appeared.

She was not satisfied with Wei Qibai's background and strongly opposed the two's marriage. When Ning Changxiong didn't know about it, she used all means to insult Wei Qibai.

Wei Qibai is a person with high spirits. Although she loves Ning Changxiong, she is not the kind of person who can compromise.

She and Ning Changxiong broke up. A man who could let his mother insult her and pretend to be unaware of it was not worthy of her nostalgia.

But Ning Changxiong thought Wei Qibai wanted to use breakup to threaten him to marry her, and felt that his authority was challenged. In order to let Wei Qibai know that he was also fighting and working hard for their love. So he forced her against Wei Qibai's will and let Wei Qibai get pregnant with their children.

At that time, Wei Qibai had become popular with his first movie, and the second movie was almost finished.

She had a bright future, but was tripped by Ning Changxiong.

Ning Changxiong threatened his mother with the child, and Ning's mother finally agreed to the marriage between Ning Changxiong and Wei Qibai.

Wei Qibai was unwilling to marry Ning Changxiong, but Ning Changxiong repeatedly promised that he would give her and her children a happy future.

The child is Wei Qibai's weakness. She is an orphan herself, so she naturally knows how important a complete family is to children.

In addition, she was affected by filming and was emotionally fragile and instinctively needed to seek a support.

So she finally agreed to Ning Changxiong's willingness to marry him.

She thought that her concessions would bring her and her children a new and happy life, but she didn't know that this was the beginning of the tragedy.

When he talked about this, Shen Yufei was already crying.

Instead of continuing, she leaned over and picked up a cardboard box, which she had just kept with her.

"Xiaozhou, you can open it and take a look." Shen Yufei sobbed.

She looked at Ning Zhou with a full of worry. She actually hesitated whether to tell Ning Zhou the truth about that year. She was afraid that Ning Zhou would get stuck in the slightest way after he knew the truth, and thought that the tragedy that followed was caused by him.

In fact, he is innocent.

For this reason, she also asked Jiang Hangting about his opinions.

Jiang Hangting replied to her, "Zhouzhou is not as fragile as you think. Wei Qibai is Zhouzhou's mother, and Zhouzhou deserves to know what happened that year."

Shen Yufei asked again: "Aren't you worried that Xiaozhou can't think of it?"

"Aren't I still there?" Jiang Hangting's answer was natural, but it made people feel safe for no reason.

So Shen Yufei decided to tell what she knew, but she still did not forget to bring the cardboard box.

Shen Yufei came back to her senses and said to Ning Zhou: "Although your arrival was an accident for Qibai, she really loved you. She had fantasized about your birth more than once..."

While Shen Yufei was speaking, Ning Zhou had already opened the cardboard box.

The things stored in the carton were exposed in front of Ning Zhou.

There are small clothes sewn by yourself, toys of various colors, and paintings that have faded...

"The clothes were sewn by Qi Bai for you. Because she didn't know if they were boys or girls, she sewed two sets of toys. She bought them when she saw them when she saw them. She always cared about them. And these paintings were specially learned at home later, and they were all the way she imagined you..."

Shen Yufei finished these words with a sob.

Perhaps Wei Qibai had the idea of ​​leaving when she was learning to draw. She knew that she could not watch the child grow up, so she drew all the imaginations of the child from childhood to adulthood.

She is using this special way to accompany her children through her life.
To be continued...
