Chapter 458: Life and Death Together (Finale)

After the country's manned lunar mission was successfully completed, Su Ranran and her husband no longer planned to continue traveling.

Instead, they settled on Pingzhou Island.

Although Shen He didn't say anything, Su Ranran knew that he was making up for the fact that he had waited here alone for so long in his previous life.

Su Ranran didn't say anything, but lived every day seriously.

Shen He had someone buy the land a long time ago, and the house was just a simple brick and tile house.

The yard was empty, but Su Ranran not only didn't complain, she was happy about it and pulled her husband to decorate their house every day.

Shen He was not impatient either. No matter what she wanted to do, he accompanied her patiently.

When I first came to Pingzhou Island in the 1970s, it was a desolate place with not even much grass growing.

Several decades have passed, and the sandy land here has been completely transformed. Now anything can grow there.

Su Ranran planted a fruit tree and a grape tree in the yard according to her memory.

Shen He paved the yard with cobblestone paths and nailed fences around the flowers planted by Su Ranran.

The two of them did not ask the security guards for help, and the old couple did everything themselves.

Watching the yard gradually return to the appearance in her memory, Su Ranran's eyes were filled with joy and nostalgia.

It was as if they were young again.

When the two first arrived at Pingzhou Island, she was still pregnant, and they were both careful to maintain this marriage that had almost been torn apart.

From anxiety to passionate love to gray hair, the two are almost at the end of their lives.

Although they have space, the spiritual spring water and various rare treasures in the space can make both of them much healthier than ordinary people.

But aging is irreversible after all.

In her previous life, Su Ranran was not afraid at all despite the pain she felt before death. But in this life, even though they had been in love for a lifetime, she was afraid.

Afraid that time goes by too fast.

Every night, Su Ranran pretended to fall asleep before slowly opening her eyes.

Looking at the person next to her who also had gray hair, her eyes were filled with reluctance.

However, time cannot be reversed.

No matter how reluctant she was, her body functions began to deteriorate day by day.

It was a nice day, with warm sunshine shining on the flower-filled yard.

Su Ranran sat on the rocking chair that Shen He had woven for her ten years ago, staring blankly at the sea in the distance.

The moments from when we first met to when we were together flashed through my mind, and for some reason I felt an indescribable regret in my heart.

Shen He went back to get her a blanket.

In fact, for such matters, you can just call the waiter, or at worst there is a nanny.

But when it comes to her affairs, he always does it himself and never asks others to do it.

Although he didn't say it, Su Ranran knew that he was reluctant to let her go.

Isn't she the only one pretending to be asleep every night?

Not long after, Shen He came back.

He is nearly a hundred years old, but his body is not hunched like other old people.

Even walking is still very steady.

Compared to him, my physical condition is indeed a little worse.

No wonder he insisted on getting himself a blanket even though the weather was so nice.

Covering herself with a thin blanket, Su Ranran felt very comfortable.

It was so comfortable that she wanted to close her eyes.

But she felt in her heart that she couldn't just sleep like this, so she reached out and held his hand.

"Don't...work, let's...go out and bask in the sun."

Su Ranran's voice was a little unclear, and Shen He felt nervous.

"good."

Shen He's voice is no longer as deep and pleasant as it was when he was young. Instead, it has become more hoarse and forceful.

Su Ranran smiled.

Why can't I hear enough?

"Tell me more about the past." Su Ranran's already clumsy hands tightly held his hands.

Shen He's throat tightened and he paused, then he slowly sat down on the rocking chair next to her.

Su Ranran didn't say much, but he slowly began to tell every detail of his meeting her in his first life.

It turned out that he had been gradually remembering things from his first life over the years.

"When I first saw you, I thought to myself that this lesbian was really brave to come here and cut in line alone."

Su Ranran twitched the corners of her lips.

She had no choice at the time.

Fortunately, she met him in her first life, but tragically, she ended up dying in such a tragic way.

Is he frightened?

Listening to his old voice telling me every detail of my first life.

Su Ranran's consciousness also began to become gradually blurred.

Her mind was clearly a mess, but she still instinctively felt distressed and reluctant.

It turns out she is not the only one who grows old alone.

"This time... I can say goodbye to you properly..."

Su Ranran's voice started to become a little erratic, and her words were spoken discontinuously.

Although he was saying goodbye, his voice was full of reluctance.

Shen He's throat choked, and the hand holding her did not dare to move at all, as if he was afraid that if he moved he would never hear her voice again.

But the people next to him didn't speak for a long time.

Shen He looked at her with a clear gaze.

Su Ranran tried hard to raise the corners of her lips, and her already distracted gaze tried hard to depict that familiar face.

As if she had finally gathered enough strength, she spoke again.

"If... there could be someone... coming..."

No... not just the afterlife...

Su Ranran admitted that she was a little greedy and wanted to meet him in every lifetime.

But before she could finish her words, her hand slowly slipped from his!

Shen He's heart seemed to stop beating instantly! His eyes were red!

Su Ranran is gone!

Just when the guard thought the chief would not be able to bear the blow, he calmly wiped her body clean, changed her into her favorite clothes, and even combed her hair neatly.

It rained lightly on the day of the funeral.

But the mourners came in waves, lining up directly on the street. There were men and women in the team, ranging from a few years old to their teens.

They are either Su Ranran's students or people who have received assistance from the Major Illness Fund.

There are many others who have never directly benefited from her kindness.

Among this crowd, a few people with gray hair stand out particularly!

Those were the military wives who once lived in the same family compound.

Upon learning that she had passed away, several surviving military wives ignored the advice of their grandchildren and insisted on coming to see her off.

"Without her, we wouldn't be where we are today. We are grateful to her in our hearts."

At first, it was Su Ranran who took the trouble to teach them various skills bit by bit and told them that women can also rely on themselves!

She is their great benefactor. With such a friendship, how can they get over the hurdle in their hearts if they don't come to see her off?

There were too many people coming to see me off.

Shen Yan and Shen Zhao were afraid that their father could not bear it, so they were about to persuade him to go back and rest, but they saw that he had already changed into a military uniform and was lying quietly beside his mother.

"Dad!" Shen Zhao burst into tears!

The doctor clearly said that he was in good health and could live another ten years. How could...

Shen Yan's eyes were also very red!

But he knew it in his heart.

My mother is gone, and my father doesn't want to be left alone in this world.

When the people who were seeing him off heard that the country's famous marshal had also gone with his lover, they all burst into tears.
