Chapter 294. Brief Partings (2)
The weather was not as gloomy as it had been two days ago. It looked like it was starting to clear up as the cold breeze blew lightly, filling the air with freshness.
At Qingshan Cemetery.
Mu Lingshi put the lillies in her hand on Mu Lingtian’s tombstone. The huge sunglasses hid the melancholy in her eyes while Ah Mo stood right behind her.
“It’s been almost five years… Time flies so quickly. All of this keeps feeling like it just happened yesterday,” Mu Lingshi sighed, her clear voice coming through.
“Lingtian’s soul might have already been reborn. Ah Shi, don’t be too sad about it.” Ah Mo turned to look at her, catching all the grief in her eyes. He could not help but advise, “It’s been quite a few years now. I’m sure he wouldn’t want you to be like this too.”
Mu Lingshi fixed her gaze onto the black and white picture on the tombstone as a bitter smile graced her lips. “I still don’t understand why he would have done that… Was brother not good to him? Why did he do that?”
As Ah Mo listened, he could not help but sigh. He thought about it for a long time, then answered, “Master has always wanted to know too… Back then, if it were not because he secretly helped him, it might not have all turned out like this…”
Mu Lingshi lowered her gaze, watching the lilies sway in the wind. Her eyes underneath the sunglasses suddenly started to blur. She could only vaguely feel the moisture that graced the corner of her eyes. A while after that, she softly said, “If it didn’t? Sadly, all of this can only be guesswork. It’s already happened, so all we can do is just accept it.”
“Actually, I’ve always wanted to know… He and my brother seemed to have quite a huge gap. From what I remember, Big Brother has always been very protective of the three of us, so to me, I only have Big Brother. All of us are just Brother’s sidekicks. When we were younger and got hurt, he would always stand up for us.
