In the darkness, Su Xiaoli held Su Mu's arm and blinked. Has it been so long?
Thinking about it, when she first came to her brother's house, she was only five years old and had just entered kindergarten at that time, but now, she has graduated from high school.
In the room, after a moment of silence, Su Mu suddenly spoke in a low voice: "This is the first time I have experienced separation between life and death."
"Yeah." Su Xiaoli listened to his words and leaned her head against his arm again.
Su Mu closed his eyes, and Su Xiaoli's even breathing was beside him. In this dark night, it sounded inexplicably reassuring.
"Xiao Li."
"Um??"
"Do you want to know who your parents are?" Su Mu was silent for a while and then asked her in a low voice.
Su Xiaoli thought for a while, nodded and said: "I think...but I always feel that I may never see them again in this life. After all, China is so big and there are so many people. It's not easy to find them."
Su Mu did not speak, but stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms, and said in a low voice: "As long as you want, I will help you find them. Keep looking, keep looking, and one day you will find them."
"Okay." Su Xiaoli responded obediently.
"Go to sleep. There are still many things waiting for us when we wake up tomorrow." Su Mu hugged Su Xiaoli and lay down on his pillow.
Su Xiaoli closed her eyes, listening to the breathing of Su Mu in her ears and the chirping of crickets outside the window, thinking about some random things in her mind, and fell asleep soon after.
Su Mu hugged her, still feeling a little depressed in his heart. Even though he had played so many life and death scenes in TV dramas, he had never experienced it in person.
In the TV series, the moment the director shouts "Ka", the actor who was originally dead will open his eyes and stand in front of you with a smile again, chatting and laughing with you.
But in real life, no one comes to shout that "click", and the dead relatives just disappear from life.
In Su Mu's head, this thought appeared for a while, and that thought appeared for a while. He was drowsy and slowly fell into sleep.
That night, he didn't sleep peacefully. The scene when he first came to the Su family's old house kept recurring in his dreams. Mr. Su was leaning on a cane, sitting behind the dining table with a smile, and watching him walk into the restaurant.
, with a surprised look on his face, "This kid looks so much like Hong Xi when he was a child..."
——
It was not until Mrs. Su's first seven days were over that the funeral affairs were settled.
Su Hongxi drove Su Daonian and his family to the gate of the Su family's old house. Seeing them getting into the car, he couldn't help but said to Su Daonian: "You are not young anymore. Find a time to organize the wedding."
Come on, it can be regarded as an explanation to the old man."
Su Daonian turned to look at Chen Sha who looked nervous, smiled, and said to Su Hongxi: "Forget it, you are so old, why are you holding a wedding? Besides, the two children are so old.
It’s better to keep a low profile.”
Chen Sha breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his answer.
Su Hongxi frowned, glanced at Su Mu and Su Xiaoli sitting in the back seat of the car, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, forget it then. If you don't think it's necessary, don't use it."
