"Great!" Li Huangchen held a plate of salty roasted melon seeds, looking at Guandu with admiration in his eyes.

Junlin sat leisurely next to Wenjing, cracking sunflower seeds, and occasionally went over to wipe the sweat off Guandu, who was roasting sunflower seeds.

Qin Zhiluo sat down casually next to Lu Ze, "Have someone kidnap him tonight!"

Lu Ze was slightly taken aback, "He's incredibly stubborn..."

Qin Zhiluo picked up a sunflower, her eyelashes casting dappled shadows under her eyes. "No one blames him, Changsheng and Changle certainly don't. Isn't our mission to protect them?"

Lu Ze nodded, "Okay, if only back then..."

Qin Zhiluo's eyes were deep, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly. "There are no ifs..."

next day

Qin Ji stared in disbelief at the yellow suit Lu Ze had picked out for him. "This..."

Lu Ze smiled and said, "Chang Sheng likes colors, so we dress up very beautifully every year to make Chang Sheng look good."

Long Yanli's lips curled slightly. "So that's why you're wearing a rainbow T-shirt and rainbow shorts!"

Qin Zhiluo, dressed in a light yellow short skirt, looked beautiful and sexy. She patted Lu Ze's shoulder and couldn't help but laugh, "I think... Changsheng will be shocked by how ugly you are."

Hua Dongxia smiled and pushed Lu Ze into the bedroom, saying, "Please excuse my poor manners..."

The group entered a small, secluded garden filled with sunflowers of various kinds, and next to a large tree stood a tombstone.

Our family

Longevity

Long Yanli bowed respectfully to him. He looked at the photo above; the person was very young and handsome, with a bright smile!

After Qin Zhilu greeted them, he casually sat down next to the tombstone. Chang Le placed various flavors of roasted melon seeds in front of him and introduced them to him one by one.

Qin Ji felt a pang of sympathy; the more casual they acted, the more they cared.

There were over thirty people who stayed with Changsheng and chatted until evening.

Long Yanli looked at them, whose faces were now streaked with tears, after they had been all smiles.

...

Finally, only Qin Zhiluo remained. "Aren't you coming out yet?"

The young man slowly sat up in the center of the sunflower, his eyes red, "Luo Luo..."

Qin Zhiluo dragged him out and gave him a severe beating in front of Changsheng.

"Damn, Luo Luo really went all out this time!" Lin Ximen crouched behind the bushes, watching secretly. "I'll go get a first-aid kit."

Guandu pulled Junlin closer to him and hid behind the wall, saying, "Don't get caught!"

Li Huangchen scratched his head. "It would be strange if Luo Luo didn't notice, would it?"

Long Yanli felt sorry for the baby's hand and asked Lin Ximen to get some ointment.

The young man neither dodged nor fought back, but lay on the ground and let Qin Zhi beat him.

"You...you really deserve to die!" Qin Zhiluo lay exhausted on the lawn, looking up at the sky, tears streaming down her face.

The young man turned to look at the tombstone, a lump forming in his throat, wanting to apologize but only able to let out broken sobs. Large tears streamed down his face, blurring his vision as if through a fog. "I... I deserve to die..."

Qin Zhiluo sat up abruptly, lifting his head. "You Sheng, you're a fucking bastard! Chang Sheng treated you like a good brother, but you didn't even come to his funeral! You haven't come to see him on the anniversary of his death all these years, and you've never even roasted melon seeds for him! I really want to rip your heart out and see if it's got gallstones!"

Yusheng's shoulders trembled uncontrollably as he stared at Qin Zhiluo in disbelief. "I... I can't face him... It's all because of my stubbornness... I should have been the one to die back then..."
