On August 8, the weather was sunny.
Jiang Li hasn't shown up for more than ten days since that day.
Although she heard from Grandpa Su that Jiang Li was still staying temporarily at his house, she seemed to be able to calculate Mo Ling and the others so that she could avoid meeting them every time.
Things seemed to be heading towards the final step without any reversal.
At a flower exhibition somewhere in Hangzhou, a girl in gray clothes and with black hair draped over her shoulders was standing in the corner of the flower exhibition.
Jiang Li pointed his mobile phone at the daffodils in front of him and took a picture. His fair and straight nose moved slightly, and he turned around to look at the lavender behind him.
"Click." Jiang Li took another picture of the flower.
Jiang Li rubbed his aching waist and looked around with his dark eyes.
After giving up on continuing to contact Mo Jingchun, Jiang Li's life seemed particularly monotonous and boring.
Xingyue Flower Shop, she hasn't worked there part-time for a long time.
In fact, when thinking about it carefully, Mo Jingchun's shadow can be seen in every aspect of Jiang Li's life. She also found out later that her part-time job at Xingyue Flower Shop was because of Mo Jingchun.
Jiang Li sighed and pressed the thumb of his left hand on the ring on his ring finger.
Although she was alone, she wore a ring that symbolized love and marriage.
Jiang Li walked towards the other side of the exhibition hall, where there was a long corridor with very few people, just enough to see the bustling crowd below.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep."
Jiang Li stopped and looked down when his cell phone vibrated.
An unfamiliar number was displayed on the phone. Jiang Li frowned and leaned against the guardrail of the passage next to him.
After hesitating for a moment, she chose to answer the phone.
"Hello."
…………
There was no sound from the other end of the phone, but a long silence. Jiang Li took the phone away with some surprise, looked at the number on it, and then put it to his ear again.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"It's me."
Jiang Li trembled all over and froze in place.
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, but it carried a very familiar flavor, a resonance from blood.
The person who called was Jiang Li's brother, Bai Ye, her most cherished family member.
Long-forgotten memories began to flood her mind. Since leaving that day, Jiang Li had never had any contact with her family, and she never expected that they would take the initiative to contact her today.
Jiang Li's eyes felt sore, and the stinging feeling of being abandoned once again came from her heart, and her voice trembled.
"Brother...Bai Ye, why is it you?"
"How do you know my number?" Jiang Li looked nervous and a little scared.
"I contacted you because of grandma." Bai Ye on the other end of the phone did not answer Jiang Li's question, but spoke to himself.
"Grandma is looking for me, what happened to her?"
Jiang Liqing couldn't help but touch her chest, asking nervously, an ominous premonition surged in her heart.
"Originally, my family didn't agree to look for you, but grandma was very determined. She said that if she didn't see you before she left, she would hate us for the rest of her life."
Bai Ye's voice was hoarse and flat, as if he was just talking about something very ordinary.
"You, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Li's expression turned panicky, and an indescribable fear invaded her whole body. "What do you mean you must see me before you leave? What happened to Grandma?"
Bai Ye sighed softly on the other end of the phone. "Grandma is old and in poor health. I think you know this. It's normal for her to pass away at her age."
"I won't tell you much. The doctor in the county has also told us. It's just a few days away. If you want to come back, then come back. If you don't want to, forget it."
"By the way, although I don't know what agreement you and Grandma made, she said she wants to know whether you have found what you promised. She hopes you can fulfill the agreement."
"Okay, that's it."
The call ended abruptly, leaving Jiang Li alone, standing there in a daze.
Grandma, she... is leaving...
Grandma was about to pass away. Jiang Li raised his head and tried his best to hold back the tears that were welling up in his eyes, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes and fell to the ground.
A wet trace appeared on the porcelain plate, just like rain falling on dry ground, gradually spreading.
Grandma, the only family member who did not abandon me, the person who loved me at first, is leaving now.
Jiang Li hasn't cried for more than ten days. In fact, she hates crying because her grandmother once told her that she hoped she could find someone who loved her and make her happy.
Jiang Li found it, but lost it again.
Grandma is the only one in Jiang Li's heart. She is the one who has never disliked her, never thought of her as an alien, and has always loved her deeply.
A strong smell of rust spread between her lips and teeth. The light pink corners of Jiang Li's mouth had been bitten by her.
A hint of red appeared on his originally pale face. Jiang Li lowered his head again and used his long black hair to cover his face.
Grandma hopes to fulfill her promise and meet that so-called person.
…………
Jiang Li's silence lasted for a very long time. When she looked up again, her face was ashen.
No matter what, she couldn't let her grandmother worry. Even if it meant lying, Jiang Li had to make her grandmother feel at ease.
…………
Mo Jingchun was walking with Sheng Jiang on the road in the nearby park.
He looked at the lush green trees outside and felt the breeze blowing on his face, which made him feel particularly comfortable.
After walking for a long time, Mo Jingchun seemed tired.
He took Ginger's hand and found a place to sit down. He leaned against the tree next to the bench, looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and slowly closed his eyes.
Jiang Li has experienced many things and suffered a lot, but when asked about it, she only said, "I know."
What exactly do I want? Should I just keep on being stuck in this stalemate?
Sometimes Mo Jingchun wanted to punch himself. He clearly couldn't let go, but he just couldn't get over that psychological barrier. His love was just like his promise...
"Woof woof woof."
The rope in his hand was pulled, and the originally quiet Ginger suddenly became excited and was pulling the rope to the side.
Before Mo Jingchun could open his eyes, a faint and elegant floral fragrance rushed into his nose.
Just from the smell, Mo Jingchun knew who was coming. He opened his eyes excitedly, as if he was looking forward to the person coming.
Jiang Li had lost weight. After not seeing her for just over ten days, she had become even thinner. Now she looked like a gentian flower that had been swept by a storm, and was about to collapse.
Without the shelter of the big tree, it could hardly resist the pressure.
Jiang Li sat silently beside Mo Jingchun, and Jiang Li sat between them, twisting her body excitedly.
They each sat on the other side of the bench, and the barrier from before seemed to reappear, separating them.
