"Hmm … This tastes very good." Yu Chen took a sip of the Longjing tea and his mood seemed to have calmed down a lot.
Zhou Manchun smiled faintly, "I remember that Senior liked to drink tea in high school. Teacher … Teacher Liu was the same."
Yu Chen was stunned. He knew why Zhou Manchun wanted to say something but stopped. She was afraid that he would feel heartache if she talked about his mother!
"I like to drink tea because I inherited it from her. My mother makes good tea." Yu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and shrank the pain in his heart.
Zhou Manchun was silent. She just smiled faintly. Her gaze fell directly on his face. Looking at his spotless face, it was as if it was plated with a layer of gold by the sun.
"Teacher will be very happy in heaven. Senior, you have to be happy every day. Don't frown." Zhou Manchun tilted her head and blinked. She smiled and said some comforting words.
Yu Chen still couldn't understand why his mother jumped from the top floor of the World Trade Center. Perhaps, she had been living too oppressive and painful all these years, so she wanted to leave first.
Life was a blur for decades. With such a jump, everything was gone. The past was like a passing cloud. It was more like a thick fog that lingered in his heart. The thick smoke surrounded him.
Yu Chen lived like a trapped beast. He was more like a walking corpse. His pride and his stubbornness disappeared the moment Anya Liu jumped off the building. Yu Chen hated his stepmother, but he didn't reject his younger brother. It was probably because Ashin was too kind.
"If a person lives a tiring life and lives in despair, he might as well die." The smile on Yu Chen's handsome face faded and he looked a little serious.
"Senior, don't be like this. You … you still have me, your father, your brother, and your grandparents." Zhou Manchun said with a face full of guilt. If she knew that mentioning Anya Liu would make Yu Chen so sad, she shouldn't have said it. It was all her fault for talking too much.
"I'm fine." Yu Chen's smile stretched and revealed a warm smile. It was more like a form of self-comfort.
Zhou Manchun didn't understand the feeling of losing a loved one, but she had also lost her best sister. This trip to C City, Zhou Manchun wanted a result. She always felt that Lin Xingyan was still alive.
"Senior, let me tell you a joke." Zhou Manchun picked up the cup of water in front of her and took a small sip.
"Okay, I'm listening." Yu Chen was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Zhou Manchun could tell a joke.
"Soft-hearted people usually have harder shoulders. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because he bears everything himself." Zhou Manchun laughed. Her smile was as pure as a child's, and it infected Yu Chen.
Yu Chen also laughed. "Xiaochun, when did you learn to tell jokes?"
"I'm unemployed now. I stay at home all day. When I'm bored, I watch jokes. I have many more. Let me tell you one more."
…
The setting sun dissipated the last bit of warmth. The twilight was like a big gray net, quietly sprinkling down and covering the whole earth.
Zhou Manchun and Yu Chen sat in the tea house until five o 'clock. After a simple dinner, they went to the Lin family.
The two walked into a small alley. Every family was cooking. The aroma of the food greeted them. Zhou Manchun, who had just eaten dinner, was a little hungry.
She rang the doorbell and Lin Xingyan opened the door.
Zhou Manchun's eyes widened when she saw the figure standing at the door. She was stunned for a long time and was speechless.
Lin Xingyan smiled slightly. Her smile was as pure as it was when she was in high school. "Who are you looking for?"
"Xingyan, I'm Xiaochun. Don't you remember me?" Zhou Manchun snapped back to reality and grabbed Lin Xingyan's arm. She was afraid that she was seeing an illusion. She was afraid that the Lin Xingyan standing in front of her would disappear at any moment.
"I'm sorry, I … I don't know you." Lin Xingyan pursed her lips in disgust and removed Zhou Manchun's hand from her arm.
Zhou Manchun furrowed her brows, but her tone couldn't hide the joy in her heart. She took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Xingyan, we're good friends. Do you remember me? Did you lose your memory? "
After speaking, Zhou Manchun flipped through her phone and opened up a photo of the two of them in high school. In the photo, the two of them were leaning against each other and smiling happily.
Lin Xingyan looked at Zhou Manchun's phone quietly and asked confusedly, "Why do you have a photo of me?"
"Xingyan, where did you go after the car accident?" Zhou Manchun asked emotionally. She always thought Lin Xingyan was dead. Zhou Tinghao, Zhao Lizi and even the news all said she was dead!
She never imagined that she would be able to see Lin Xingyan again in her lifetime. Zhou Manchun was so excited that her eyes started to tear up.
"Xiao Yan, who's outside?" Tang Sisi's gentle voice drifted over from the courtyard.
Soon, Tang Sisi arrived at the door. She saw Zhou Manchun's pregnant belly and a tall, handsome man standing beside her. Tang Sisi furrowed her brows.
"Auntie, I'm Xiao Chun," Zhou Manchun greeted politely when she saw Tang Sisi.
"Xiao Yan, come in. I don't know you. You've got the wrong person." Tang Sisi's eyes were filled with anger. She hated the Zhou family to the core when she thought of what Zhao Lizi had done all those years ago.
"Auntie, I'm Xiao Chun. Don't close the door." Zhou Manchun quickly placed her hand on the crack of the door. Just as Tang Sisi was about to close the door, a strong force came from behind the door. It was Yu Chen who had pushed the door open.
Yu Chen anxiously grabbed Zhou Manchun's slender fingers and carefully examined them. After making sure she wasn't injured, he said sternly, "Xiao Chun, how could you be so stupid? How could you put your hand on the crack of the door? Do you still want your hand to play the piano? "
Zhou Manchun withdrew her hand from Yu Chen's palm. There was a cold sweat on her forehead. Just now, she thought her hand was going to suffer. Fortunately, Yu Chen had saved her.
"Auntie, is there some misunderstanding between us?" Zhou Manchun frowned. She was so emotional that she couldn't stand still. In addition, she hadn't had a lunch break today. Her delicate little face was a little pale.
"Mom, I've known her before, right? She's pregnant now, so let her come in first. It's cold outside." Lin Xingyan held Tang Sisi's arm and spoke to her in a gentle voice with a faint smile.
