Chapter 347 - Sis, Dont Cry (2/2)

Because he was called Qin Changan. He was the man of the Qin family, the pillar of the Qin family.

Qin Ran knew that Father had women outside, and not just one, but she never said a word. Father was a normal man, she could understand. But more so because not one single woman had ever stepped foot into the family. This was the line that Father had drawn for her, and it more so symbolized his love for her.

Sometimes when she was in a good mood or did not come for a long time because she was busy, she would also come and take a look. She would sit silently on the sofa and listen to Li Ronghao’s ‘Old Street’ as she recalled the memories of when she was young. She would fall asleep unknowingly with a faint smile on her face.

That was all that was going on in her mind as she entered the house. She seemed to have completely forgotten Qin Sheng who was behind. However, upon stepping into the house, Qin Sheng seemed to have turned into a completely different person. He observed the things before his eyes with a blank expression and all of the memories started to resurface. The memories in his mind were accumulating and there were more familiar scenes, as if he was playing an old movie from decades ago. When he saw the family picture on the wall, his body shivered as he was electric-shocked. He stared deadly at the woman in the picture that had turned yellow.

The background of the picture was an old siheyuan. There were a few trees planted in the yard, as well as a number of other plants. Judging by the clothes they were, it seemed to be taken in summer. The time was probably in the afternoon, as the sun was not as glaring. In front of the woman, a little girl was holding the hand of a little boy. The two children smiled very brightly. A handsome man stood beside the woman.

The woman was extremely beautiful. Even contesting against those in this cosmetic and plastic surgery world, she was still a breathtakingly beautiful lady. She wore a white one-piece and tied up her silky black hair casually. The corners of her lips were slightly curled. Some strands of her hair were a little messy yet giving her a mature look. Her cheeks were narrow, not fat, not thin, just nice. Her nose was so tall it could reach the heaven. The tip of her nose was full and round and both sides were symmetrical. Her eyes were the most beautiful. They were neither big nor small yet they were extremely lively and feminine. The white and black parts of her eyes were separated clearly like black ink on a white paper. Those who studied faces would say that such women were kind and pure. Besides, her eyes were so clear you could see the end of it. It gave people peace. Her brows were curled like a willow leaf, a perfect match with her alert eyes. As for her height, she did not look short, as she had already reached the man’s ear while wearing heels.

Any man would be fascinated by a woman like her. Her temperament was like none-other as if it did not belong to this world. But at the same time, it fitted so perfectly into this world.

Qin Sheng just stood there and stared. At an unknown point in time, his eyes started to become blurry and then moist. Immediately after, his tears fell out of his eyes and flowed straight down to the corners of his lips and chin. However, he could not stop them at all. It was like an open water tap.

Qin Sheng just teared silently without saying a word nor making a sound. He let his tears fall uncontrollably. It was as if time had come to a standstill.

Why?

Because he had already recognized who that woman in the photo was. It was the woman whom he had seen countless times in his dreams yet each time her image was blurry and she could not see how she really looked like no matter how hard he tried. Even more so, for countless times, he had tried chasing after her back view as she left and then crying out the word with a broken heart: Mother.

Yes, she was that woman in his dream. She was the one who would always comfort and encourage him in his dreams. She was his mother.

“Mother,” Qin Sheng finally blurted out.

Since an unknown point in time, Qin Ran had already snapped back from her thoughts. She noticed Qin Sheng standing in a daze in front of the family picture and crying silently. He looked really sad.

Qin Ran was slightly shocked before a happy smile formed on her face. She knew that Qin Sheng had already recognized the family of four in the photo; She knew that Qin Sheng had finally remembered his childhood.

When she heard him call out ‘Mother’, she could not hold it back anymore. Instantly, her face was full of tears. At this moment, it seemed like all these years’ of waiting was worth it, everything was worth it.

Qin Sheng stared at the photo and cried, Qin Ran looked at Qin Sheng and cried. Her cry caused him to become alert. Qin Sheng looked at the woman before him and the corners of his mouth turned into a warm smile. He found those memories and he had pieced them all together. He finally believed completely that this woman before him was his older sister. He had finally found his family members whom he had been separated from for many years. He had finally returned to a home that truly belonged to him.

Qin Sheng did not wipe away his tears, because they were tears of happiness. He was no longer an orphan. From now on, his soul would have a safe harbor and he no longer needed to roam around with no home to return to.

Qin Sheng gradually walked towards Qin Ran, his older sister. He then stretched out his slightly-shaking arms. Qin Ran looked at him, full of expectation and shock. He hugged her tightly and then said gently in her ears, “Sis, don’t cry.”
