Chapter 487. Yellowing Picture (1)
As Xi Xiaye listened, she frowned and stared in that direction for a long while. When she turned back to Mu Yuchen, she realized that he had already averted his gaze and was now quietly staring at Mu Lingtian’s picture on the tombstone. Loneliness and sorrow were evident in his expression.
Xi Xiaye walked over and gently pulled him up.
“Five years passed by just like that, but the incident didn’t fade with the passing of time. Instead, it became even clearer. Those who live don’t necessarily feel better than those who have passed,” he suddenly said, his tone sounding like a sigh.
“Mmm, you need a lot of courage to keep on living, but this is something that can’t be helped. Just as you said, life goes on. Otherwise, what else can we do?” Xi Xiaye softly responded.
Mu Yuchen allowed himself a tiny smile as he slowly took a cigarette box out from his pocket. He lit three cigarettes and laid them on Mu Lingtian’s tombstone. Then, he lit one up for himself too and leisurely took a drag. Squinting at Mu Lingtian’s picture, he said in a low voice, “Happy birthday, Lingtian.”
Xi Xiaye did a slight bow to the tombstone too.
She stared at the words on the tombstone for quite a while and suddenly lamented, “When he left, he was still very young.”
Mu Yuchen took a glance at the words carved on the tombstone too and he smiled sadly. “Mmm, he was only 23, so that’s why I feel…”
He did not continue, but Xi Xiaye knew what he meant too.
