C16 (2/2)

Cheng Shi, once you've entered this path, don't even think about doing whatever you're talking about. Here, everything that wasn't there will be; everything that was there before will be gone as well. Li Zhongxin had told Cheng Shi this since the day they met.

Capital Beijing

In the morning, Cheng Hanlong came to school feeling refreshed. Wu Zhen was also in the same spirit as him. Wu Zhen smiled and asked Cheng Hanlong: ”Why are you so happy?” Cheng Hanlong didn't say anything.

Cheng Hanlong turned to Wu Zhen and asked, ”Why are you so happy?” Wu Zhen pursed his lips and smiled. Cheng Hanlong immediately felt goosebumps all over his body.

”Come on, come on, don't talk about it!”

Wu Zhen continued to sit in his seat with a foolish smile on his face. He was intoxicated with himself during the class teacher's lesson, Cheng Hanlong Zhi suspected that he was too sad and appeared to be in a silly state.

Aunt Cheng went to pick up Cheng Cheng at night and waited for him at the school gate. When Cheng Cheng said goodbye to the teacher in line with a bunch of kids, he saw Aunt Cheng and kept his eyes on her. Aunt Cheng caught Cheng Cheng who pounced over and held his hand as they walked home.

”How did you get the dirt on your face?” Aunt Cheng asked Cheng Cheng.

”Oh, hee hee... We played it together, but it was fun. I couldn't hit them. ”But it doesn't hurt.” Cheng Cheng said excitedly.

Aunt Cheng took out a tissue from her bag and wiped Cheng Cheng's face. She squatted down and said to Cheng Cheng: ”Mom and you can't tell me when you're home, but you have to remember that okay?”

Cheng Cheng nodded seriously, ”Yes, I definitely won't say it!”

”Mom will go to Hangzhou in July to marry another uncle, leaving only you and your brother here. Although you are much younger than your brother, your mom still wants you to take care of him. He is a child who has never suffered before. Although he always bullies you, he is not as strong as you. I know you won't argue with your brother. It's just that you're still young and don't understand some things. When you grow up, you'll understand. You have to treat your brother well. You have to thank him and repay him. Maybe it's a little selfish of Mommy to say that, but you have to remember to understand Mommy's words. ”

”Mom, why did you leave?” Cheng Cheng asked in confusion.

”Because Mom wants to be with someone she loves.” Aunt Cheng answered, and Cheng Cheng asked again:

”Then don't you love me and my brother?”

”Love, but it's not the same. Only by being with your lover can you live together forever.”

Cheng Cheng nodded, as if he understood something. He finally agreed to Aunt Cheng's request.

On the way, Cheng Cheng kept thinking about what a lover should be. Whether Cheng Hanlong and him counted, or not, then no one would live with him forever. If that happened, then perhaps there would be no place for him to live.

When they got home, Cheng Hanlong still hadn't come back. Aunt Cheng went back to her bedroom to pack her things. Although there was still a month's time before Cheng Hanlong's entrance exam, there were many things that needed to be prepared in advance. After all, getting married was a big matter, and he had to live together with someone else. He didn't want to take anything that he could not take with him, but there were some things he wanted to take with him.

Aunt Cheng opened the drawer and found two certificates lying neatly inside: one for marriage and one for divorce. There was also a wedding photo that had turned yellow. Cheng Shi looked so impressive. Although he was not much older than the one in the photo, he could no longer be restored to his former self.

Aunt Cheng used her hand to gently smooth the edges of the photo, gently saying to the person in the photo: ”At that time, you should have loved me, right? ”Otherwise, why would you laugh so happily?”
