Chapter 769 - Please Be Happy in Your Next Life (2/2)

He knew that she wouldn’t be able to see it. The dead could not be revived and there would be nothing left after one was dead.

It didn’t matter whether one burnt paper money or paper houses, these were just ways that the living used to remember the dead by. He knew that whatever he did would be useless but he still did it anyway.

Yuan Yuan looked up at his father in confusion.

“Would mom truly be able to see this?” he asked doubtfully.

Mo Yixuan nodded with a wry smile.

“She will. She has become a star in the sky that would look after Yuan Yuan and watch you grow up,” Mo Yixuan said. He didn’t know why he said such a thing but he didn’t know what else to do. He knew that he was spouting nonsense and also knew that Yuan Yuan would not believe his words after he grew a little older.

Yuan Yuan nodded as though he understood his father’s words.

“Alright, Yuan Yuan…” Mo Yixuan said after he took a few steps back. Then, he took Yuan Yuan’s hand and said, “It’s time to head back. We can’t impose on your mom for such a long time.”

Yuan Yuan agreed softly and his voice caught in his throat which made Mo Yixuan feel even worse.

Yuan Yuan lifted a hand and waved as he said to the tombstone, “Mom, I’ll be back.”

Mo Yixuan closed his eyes in pain and tried to conceal the guilt and pain that wouldn’t go away.

‘Yan Yan, rest in peace. Please be happy in your next life.’

The shadows of both father and son seemed very long under the sunlight. They slowly walked away from the tombstone and the cemetery and from that day on, Yuan Yuan never asked when his mother would be back or where his mother was.
