Chapter 348 - Completely Gone (2/2)

One second before, it was heaven. One second later, it was hell. This was not just disappointment, it was almost a destructive blow. It beat down the Qin Sheng who was always strong when facing any kind of situation, enemies or setbacks.

At this moment, Qin Sheng’s soul was at a loss, like a lonely ghost. His gaze and facial expression turned so scary that he no longer looked recognizable. Qin Ran felt that he was very foreign. She stared at him with opened eyes and mouth.

After an unknown period of time of just standing there, Qin Sheng finally moved. He slowly made his first step and slowly walked towards the ??? table. Each step was so heavy and difficult. Each step was as if he was trampling on the hopes that he had in the past 20 over years. The few steps’ distances felt like it was tens of thousands of miles away. A few steps’ time felt as long as a few centuries. It was just a few steps, but it felt like the difference between life and death.

When Qin Sheng finally walked towards the offering table, this man who was as strong as an unbeatable cockroach, who had narrowly escaped death so many times, suddenly plopped down on the knees. He buried his head between his legs, held his hands over his head and pulled his hair. He then started sobbing in a nearly suppressed and despair manner.

Time stopped passing at this moment. No one would bear to look at this scene. Qin Ran turned her back against him. She already could not handle her emotions. She was worried that she would break down. Eventually, she left the master bedroom directly and came to the living room, leaving Qin Sheng to spend time alone with Mother. She knew that he definitely had a lot to say to her.

Qin Ran also did not go and help him up, nor did she comfort him. Sometimes a man got to face some things alone, and they would only feel comfortable by letting everything out of their system. It would be scarier if they suppressed their feelings.

Time passed second by second. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Sheng finished pouring out the tears that he had held back all these years. He felt that there would be nothing else that could make him cry again.

Still kneeling on the floor, he lifted his head. He stared at his mother’s picture and laughed at himself. “Mother, I’m not a loyal son, I’ve let you wait for so many years before coming back to visit you. Mother, how have you been all these years? Did you come into my dreams because you missed me? Mother, did you know? You’re much more beautiful than my girlfriend. If you were by my side when I was still a student, I would definitely show off to my friends every day how beautiful my mother is. Mother…”

At this moment, Qin Sheng was no longer the man who had a strong inner wall. In front of his mother, he was just a child who had yet to grow up. For more than 20 years, he could only meet his mother in his dreams. Each time, he would wake up in shock before he could say much. Today, he was finally reunited with his mother. He had many things to tell her. He wanted to tell her everything that he had waited to say in the last 20 over years and tell her all that happened. He wanted to tell her all at one go.

The first time he was praised by his teacher, the first time he scored full marks, the first fight, the first time he held a girl’s hand, the first kiss, the first love, the first break up, etc.

Qin Sheng wanted to tell his mother everything, as if by doing so it would feel like she had always been there with him. However, Qin Sheng would definitely only tell her happy things and not about his sadness and setback as he did not want her to be worried.

One hour passed, two hours passed. Qin Sheng was still talking to his mother, as if she was just standing in front of him. Sometimes he would suddenly burst into laughter, sometimes he would suddenly become very sad. Those who did not know might think that he had gone crazy.

During this period of time, Qin Ran came to check on him several times as she was really worried about him. However, she did not disturb him and let him talk to himself.

Downstairs, Gongsun and the rest kept waiting. Qin Changan made his staff call them once to ask when they were coming back. Hearing that Qin Sheng and Qin Ran were at the old house, he never called again.

Three hours later, Qin Sheng finally saying all that he wanted to say. His legs were already numb and he stood up with some difficulty. He then said to his mother, “Mother, it’s getting late. You should sleep now, I’ll tell you more next time.”

After which, he burned an incense for his mother and bowed on his head three times. He then turned and left the master bedroom.

Qin Ran was in the living room. Seeing Qin Sheng finally come out of the master bedroom, she felt assured instantly. But before she could say anything, Qin Sheng took the initiative to speak first. “Sis, I want to sleep here tonight, can I?”

Qin Ran paused for a while before nodding assuredly, “Okay.”
