CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 403: FINALLY, I CAN BE OPENLY TOGETHER WITH HER

It seems she broke her word again.

They had agreed to meet below, but he didn’t even see her.

Such a big liar.

Shi Lingyan found a place to sit, in this place, he could see the happy times they had spent together in the past.

Every day she nestled in his embrace, either playing the piano and singing softly, or frolicking and playing, carefree and spoiled like a child.

Every day he could see her, and he could also see his parents, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

They would bring his favorite toys from when he was very small and say with a smile, ’Ling Yan, come to Mommy.’

’Ling Yan, come to Daddy.’

’Ling Yan, what do you want to be when you grow up?’

’Our Ling Yan is the best, when he grows up, he’ll certainly become a wonderful person, kind and intelligent.’

In the raging inferno, Mommy was engulfed by the flames, Daddy watched her and wept uncontrollably.

A man in his thirties, crying like a child who has not grown up.

The young Shi Lingyan didn’t understand what that felt like, he just knew that something had happened to Mommy, Mommy was burned by the fire.

And Daddy, after resolutely carrying him out, knelt down with tears in his eyes, touched his face and said, ’Ling Yan, go find some adults to help, remember to grow up well, eat properly, and obey Grandpa and Grandma, do you hear?’

At that time, Shi Lingyan didn’t know that his obedience would cause him to lose them forever; he only nodded tearfully and asked, ’And you?’

’Daddy is going to rescue Mommy. It’s too dark inside, and Mommy would be scared.’

Shi Lingyan looked at the towering flames behind him, utterly unable to understand why it would be dark inside.

Later, he found people who could help, but he never saw Mommy and Daddy again.

They said, Daddy must have really loved Mommy.

Much later, he learned that when the rescuers found them, they were holding each other tightly, charred so badly they were almost reduced to skeletons.

Daddy didn’t stop loving him, he just couldn’t bear to part with Mommy, the woman he had loved for so long.

They had loved each other for over a decade, and in the end, they even died together.

He didn’t understand it before, but after Tang Wu left, he finally could understand the feeling.

He, too, had thought about going down to be with her, but Grandpa and Grandma, as if they had anticipated it, stayed by his side every day, even going so far as to threaten with their own lives, fearing he would follow in his father’s footsteps.

This time, he could finally be with her openly, but she was late in arriving.

Shi Lingyan felt somewhat frustrated, sitting at the entrance of his memories, his thoughts gradually sinking into them.

-

Shi Mei woke up again, there were two police officers standing in the hospital room.

Seeing that she had awakened, they immediately produced their badges, stating their purpose, "We are criminal police from Yan City branch of the Public Security Bureau of Xia Country. We have found two bodies under the Xiajiang Bridge. According to our investigation, we believe you are a prime suspect, and we hope you will cooperate with our investigation."

Aunt Chen was standing next to Grandma Shi and Grandpa, and it was clear they had known about their presence all along.

Hearing the police officers’ words, Grandpa comforted, "Shi Mei, don’t be afraid, the police officers are just here to investigate, you just need to tell the truth."

Grandma Shi nodded, but Aunt Chen was somewhat afraid, she cautiously said, "Officers, our young lady’s mind isn’t very clear, she suffered a brain injury in the past, and now her intelligence is only that of a five-year-old, please don’t frighten her."
