Chapter 289: Going to the Cemetery
Upon arriving at the cemetery.
Just as Lu Ye had predicted.
Mu Qin, Gu Xiaoyue, and the others have already arrived.
To Lu Ye's surprise, a tall, thin man in a black coat was standing next to Shen Qian.
He recognized him at a glance, even from behind.
Chen Lin.
Their research luminary has also returned.
During our previous phone call, we mentioned the tenth anniversary of Xiaowei's death.
Chen Laosan, who works in a classified unit, did not explicitly state that he would return to Nancheng.
Of course, Lu Ye didn't hold out any hope.
After all, he hadn't seen Chen Laosan for more than two years.
They are all people who have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the country.
Chen Lin turned around and saw Lu Ye and Bai Zhi. He nodded slightly to them in greeting, and then continued to maintain a solemn expression.
In front of the tomb are pastries, various fruits, and fresh flowers made by Muqin herself.
Everyone remained silent as Mu Qin was supported by Gu Xiaoyue and Xie Zheng.
Even after ten years, she still couldn't control her emotions when she stood at her daughter's grave.
His body looked like it was about to collapse.
With heavy steps, Lu Ye placed the flowers he had prepared in front of the grave.
“Xiaowei, we’ve come to see you.” Lu Ye looked at the smiling face of the sixteen-year-old girl in the photo on the tombstone, forced a relaxed smile, and introduced her, “This is my girlfriend, Bai Zhi. We got our marriage certificate today, and I brought you to see you.”
Bai Zhi also bowed solemnly and introduced herself.
"Don't worry, we will take good care of Aunt Mu from now on. As long as she doesn't mind, we are all her children."
Lu Ye cautiously said a couple of words, then fell silent.
I stood there with everyone.
Xie Yun was worried that Mu Qin would faint from excessive grief if she stayed here too long, so she suggested that Mu Qin go down the mountain as soon as possible.
Gu Xiaoyue also said, "Yes, Mom, you've stayed long enough. Let's go down the mountain."
Mu Qin was reluctant to leave, but with everyone's persuasion, she cooperated, holding back her tears as she looked back at her daughter one last time, before being helped down the mountain by Xie Yun and Gu Xiaoyue.
"You guys go first, I'll stay a little longer," Xie Zheng said in a hoarse voice.
Bai Zhi noticed a guitar not far away.
He probably wanted to play and sing his new song for Xiaowei.
He fulfilled Xiaowei's dream.
Chen Lin walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."
Chen Lin and Shen Qian went down the mountain with Lu Ye and the others.
However, after walking for a short distance, the melodious sound of a guitar reached their ears.
Lu Ye and Chen Lin, who were walking at the very back, stopped in their tracks without realizing it.
They seemed to find it hard to believe that such a beautiful and moving song came from Xie Zheng's voice.
The lyrics, which struck a chord with the audience, brought tears to the eyes of the two grown men.
Shen Qian said, "Don't doubt it, this song was written and composed by A Zheng. Xiao Bai and I both went to see their band perform live, and it was amazing."
When Shen Qian mentioned Xie Zheng, her eyes sparkled.
However, realizing the complex emotions he was experiencing as he played and sang at Xiao Wei's grave, the light in her eyes dimmed again.
Realizing that she was actually jealous of someone she had lost ten years ago, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips.
They stood there, listening to Xie Zheng finish playing and singing that moving song.
Chen Lin wiped his face and looked at Lu Ye, "He fulfilled Xiao Wei's dream."
"Yes, he came out."
When Lu Ye said this, he had a sense of relief.
Xie Zheng's emergence means that they can finally break free of their inner shackles and begin a new life.
Because of Xie Zheng's resentment towards him, he has lived in deep self-blame for many years, constantly examining and negating himself.
He thought over and over again about what he should do if he were to relive the scene from ten years ago to save all his brothers and sisters in that situation.
He has the answer.
Fortunately, Xie Zheng emerged from ten years of torment.
They carried Xiaowei's unfinished dream and continued on their journey.
After descending the mountain, Lu Ye looked at Chen Lin, whose figure was still as thin as it had been a few years ago, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
"I got off the train this morning, I have a surprise for you all,"
Chen Lin's gaze fell on Bai Zhi's face, and he greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Dr. Bai Zhi, I'm Chen Lin."
Lu Ye protested at his address to Bai Zhi, saying, "You should call her sister-in-law."
Chen Lin smiled firmly and said, "Ms. Bai isn't nameless or jobless. I want to get to know her first."
He glanced at Lu Ye, who was looking displeased, and soothed him, "Don't worry, I'll call her sister-in-law."
But now he'd rather get to know Dr. Bai Zhi.
Dr. Bai Zhi, who was able to lead experts from a military hospital in research and development at the age of 22.
Xie Yun specially hired a van to bring them here today.
Knowing that Lu Ye had also driven, they didn't wait for the young people after they came down the mountain and asked the driver to take them back as soon as possible.
The longer Muqin stayed here, the more she would be reminded of the past, and the more her grief would overwhelm her body.
Before leaving, Xie Yun specifically instructed Lu Ye, "Wait for Xiao Zheng, don't let him stay here too long."
"Mom, I understand. You go back with Aunt Mu first, we'll wait for him."
As the van drove away, the four men looked somber and heavy-hearted.
To be honest, even now, although they really want to help and take care of Aunt Mu, they don't have the courage to face her from the bottom of their hearts.
While waiting for Xie Zheng, Chen Lin looked at Bai Zhi again and struck up a conversation with her.
"Dr. Xiaobai, I heard you work at a military hospital?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi looked at Shen Qian.
"right."
Shen Qian quickly waved her hand, "I didn't tell him. I only just met him."
This big shot's work is quite mysterious; they basically have no contact with each other.
Chen Lin smiled. "My second uncle said so."
"Deputy Director Chen is my second uncle," Chen Lin simply introduced himself. He didn't tell Bai Zhi that his second uncle had once consulted him about a work-related problem.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
Shen Qian had previously mentioned the relationship between Deputy Director Chen and Comrade Chen Lin.
