Han Zhan had just laid down when Song Ci suddenly turned over and hugged his waist, carefully and perfectly avoiding the injured part.

Han Zhan was a little surprised to be hugged suddenly. "What's wrong, Cibao?"

Song Ci came closer and buried her head in the back of Han Zhan's neck. Her voice sounded muffled. "Han Zhan, don't blame yourself too much. I don't blame you."

Who can be blamed? If Edward hadn't asked Orianna to clone Jiang Shiyu, Rain would not have been born.

The root of everything is Edward's fault.

Han Zhan finally let go of the worry in his heart.

"That's good."

He held the hands on his waist and told Song Ci: "I believe you have been to Beijing many times, but you still need to pay attention to safety. Buy whatever you want, eat whatever you want, and you can stay a few more days..."

"But don't stay too long." Han Zhan tapped the back of Song Ci's hand with his fingers and said, "The children and I will miss you very much at home."

"knew."

Have a good night's sleep.

The next day, Song Ci left home alone to try all the delicious food in Wangdong City. While eating, she gently stroked the bottle pendant around her neck. No one knew that the bottle contained the ashes of a little girl.

The next day, Song Ci kissed the children goodbye early in the morning, ate something casually, and went to the airport with Long Yu to fly to Beijing.

It's already getting cold in the north this season.

Today is a rare good day, the sky is blue and the visibility is very far.

Song Ci did not go to the crowded Badaling, but chose the Jiankou Great Wall, a section of the Great Wall with few tourists and steep terrain. This is an undeveloped section of the Great Wall, and because of its danger, it is ordered to prohibit organized tours.

Climbing to the top of a cliff, Song Ci and Long Yu stood at the highest point, gazing at the mountains in the distance. The leaves had long since fallen, making the Great Wall look even more majestic and weathered.

Song Ci pulled the small urn from her bag and, as the wind picked up, released the ashes. The ashes fluttered in the air, forming all sorts of shapes before finally returning to dust as the wind died down.

Long Yu stood beside Song Ci. Seeing her sad expression, he tried to comfort her: "Madam, please accept my condolences."

Song Ci smiled and shook her head. "I fulfilled her last wish, and suddenly I feel empty inside."

Long Yu simply sat down on the rock.

Smoking is prohibited here. For fear of causing a forest fire, Long Yu took out a pack of betel nuts from his pocket and chewed them.

Song Ci also sat down like him.

Long Yu chewed betel nut and said to Song Ci, "When Allen's funeral was over, I felt the same way my wife feels now. I felt like there was a void in my heart, like something was missing."

Long Yu grinned and said, "Later, I returned to Wangdong City and the dormitory. I found that the room where Allen usually slept was completely dark. The light was never on again. That's when I realized that Allen was really gone."

"Every time we brothers have a meal together from now on, there will always be a missing corner on the table."

Long Yu's eyes turned red.

He looked up at the boundless blue sky and said with a smile, "This is parting. Throughout life, we are constantly saying goodbye, parting, and meeting people."

"Ma'am, time will heal everything, don't be too sad."

Song Ci unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip. She said, "You're right. It's just that the thought of never seeing someone like that again makes me feel depressed."

Song Ci rubbed her chest and said, "I feel like I want to cry but I can't."

"I understand."

They got down the mountain safely before dark.

According to the original plan, Song Ci and Long Yu were supposed to return to Dongcheng the next day.

After getting up in the morning, Song Ci stood by the window, looking at the drizzle outside, but she changed her mind. After breakfast, Song Ci told Long Yu: "Brother Long, please accompany me to Liaoning."

Long Yu was surprised. "Going to Liaoning?"

"Yeah." Song Ci put down the milk in her hand and said, "I remembered to pay tribute to Allen."

Long Yu nodded.

After breakfast, on the way to the airport, Song Ci called Han Zhan and explained that he had suddenly changed his mind and planned to go to Liaoning.

Han Zhan had no objection after hearing this.

"Go ahead, go early and come back early."

"good."

Song Ci looked up transportation options and found that the high-speed rail was more convenient than flying, so she decided to take it. Song Ci hadn't ridden the high-speed rail in a long time and found it quite interesting.

In the afternoon, they arrived in Fengcheng.

Long Yu had been to Fengcheng once before and was familiar with the place. He told Song Ci, "Alan's old house was demolished, and there's no longer any of his homes on this land. Shall I take you directly to his grave?"

"good."

Allen was buried at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, which is not part of the tourist development zone. When Allen was young, this mountain was far less famous than it is now, and many areas were not developed.

When he was a child, he often rode his bicycle and brought his younger brother here to play.

Allen was buried next to a large rock at the foot of the mountain, where there are many local people's graves, including the tombstone of Allen's mother.

Song Ci and Long Yu came to Allen's grave and sat for a while, not burning paper or candles for fear of starting a forest fire. They just sat quietly in front of the grave and talked with Allen for a long time.

When leaving, Song Ci suddenly stopped when passing by the tombstone of Allen's mother.

Long Yu asked: "What's wrong?"

Song Ci stared at the ground below and said, "Brother Long, look, what do these traces look like?" Because it had rained, all traces of activity were very obvious.

Long Yu stared at the indentation in front of the tombstone for a moment, and said uncertainly, "It looks like... a mark where a knee had been kneeling."
