The little incident early in the morning was quickly over, and the four of them packed up and prepared to go down the mountain. Su He felt a little depressed all the way down the mountain, and he no longer had the energy and spirit he had when he came.
Seeing her like this, Yancuo approached her and asked, "What's wrong with you? You don't seem very happy today."
Su He smiled bitterly, looked at the road ahead, and said with a little pain: "I dreamed of my mother again last night."
Yan Cuo was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. He remembered that Su He had told him about her family affairs before, so he patted her shoulder without saying much.
The two walked side by side, and in front of them were two boys walking one in front and one behind, chatting from time to time, their expressions were indifferent. Su He remained silent, and it was rare to be without her chattering around him, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
The four of them walked down the mountain, each with their own thoughts. It was not until they reached the foot of the mountain that the two boys turned around and looked at them. Gu Xuran looked at Su He's dejected look and finally couldn't bear it. He went over and took her hand. Su He obediently let him lead her away without saying anything. However, Yan Cuo looked at their departing backs anxiously. He wanted to call out but didn't know how to say it. In the end, he just watched them walk away.
Yu Muyang stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Gu Xuran will comfort her. It's useless to worry too much. Everyone has deep-seated melancholy in their hearts. All you can do is stay with her."
Yan Cuo looked at the direction they left with some melancholy, "I just didn't expect that Su He, who is usually heartless, would have such an emotional breakdown. But I can only watch and can't do anything."
Yu Muyang held her hand and pressed her palm soothingly. His voice was calm but seemed to carry some power. Every word he said touched her heart. "Yanyan, you have to know that every family has its own problems. Even the most heartless person will have bad days. This is normal. No matter who you are, you need an outlet for your emotions. You don't have to blame yourself. When she recovers, she will still be the happy Su He. Nothing will change."
"Really? Nothing will change, right? But I really don't want her to become like this. I want to see her always happy."
He held her hand tightly, interlocking their fingers, and said firmly: "Nothing will change. Both me and Su He will be the same as before. You don't have to worry about anything."
"Okay." She responded softly.
Su He and the others came back soon, and a smile appeared on her face again. She happily took Yan Cuo's hand. Yu Muyang looked at his palm which suddenly became empty, feeling a little helpless, but also happy for Yan Cuo.
This kind girl always thinks about others, worries about others, lives a real life, but is also a little cautious.
He always wanted her to live more freely, without so much uncertainty and caution. He wanted her to know that she was the most unique one.
But there is no time to rush. Fortunately, there is still a lot of time in the future. I have plenty of time to change her, treat her well, make up for her emotional loss, and find back her lost dream.
Looking at the two little girls walking hand in hand in front, they looked satisfied. There was still a long way to go, and fortunately they had them by their side, which gave them enough courage to face those unbearable hardships.
The four of them went back to the snack bar they had been to before and had breakfast. When leaving, Su He was a little reluctant and asked the proprietress for a long time how to make wheat cakes before he had to leave.
Yan Cuo watched her memorize the recipe the boss lady told her with great interest, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to try making it yourself?"
Su He rolled her eyes at her, looking at her like an idiot, "How is that possible? I'll ask my dad to teach me how to cook it for me after I'm done."
Yancuo couldn't help laughing, "So you asked this for your uncle, but in the end it was all to satisfy your stomach."
Su He raised his head proudly, "Of course, my dad dotes on me. He will learn to make whatever I want to eat."
Yan Cuo's inner thoughts at this moment: I feel that my uncle is a little pitiful for some reason.
Driving back to the familiar village, Yan Cuo no longer had the feeling of loss she had before. Her heart was clear. She looked at them and said, "Today I will go to my grandparents' grave to say goodbye, and then say goodbye to Grandma Xu. Then we will go back to Ancheng."
Su He climbed up from the back seat, a little shocked, "You're going back so soon? Why don't you stay for a few more days?"
Yan Cuo shook his head. "There's nothing fun here anymore. If I continue to stay, I'm afraid I'll just reminisce about the past. Now that it's all in the past, I should learn to let it go. Isn't that the right thing to do?"
Su He listened to what she said and thought about himself, nodding heavily, "Yeah, I need to let it go. I am the same. Let go of the past and cherish the present."
Yan Cuo smiled encouragingly at her, and the four of them returned to the graves of the two old people, ready to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, there was still a bunch of white chrysanthemums in front of the tomb. The flowers were lying alone, and it was estimated that they had been placed here for a long time and were slightly wilted by the sun.
Yan Cuo smiled helplessly, put down the flowers they had just bought, and placed them in front of the grave. Looking at the kind old man in the photo, his heart was filled with reluctance.
"Grandma, I'm leaving. I'm sorry. I promised to stay with you for a few more days, but I broke my promise. This place has too many bad memories for me. I promised to face it bravely, but words are useless and I still can't really do it. So I have to go back. I will come to see you often in the future, talk to you, and won't let you be lonely.
Grandma, when Yanyan grows up, she will definitely become as good and outstanding as you wish, making you proud and letting others praise her no matter where you are, saying, "This is my granddaughter. Isn't she amazing?"
Even though I'm not that great right now, if you wait for a few more years, I will definitely become what you want me to be."
After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something again. She squatted down, looked at her grandmother's photo, and whispered softly, "Grandma, if the boy who gave you white chrysanthemums comes again in the future, you must tell him that I am not his ideal partner. He will find a better girl and he should stop thinking about me. Don't like me anymore. I can't bear his love for me. All I can give him is hurt."
But grandma, you know Yanyan doesn't want to hurt others. Just this once, I've made it very clear to him that I will keep my distance from him in the future. Grandma, please bless him and let him find the girl who truly belongs to him."
After talking for a while, Yan Cuo stood up and prepared to leave, but Yu Muyang squatted down beside him and said something to the old man in front of him.
Just one sentence, but it is worth a thousand words.
"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry. I will love and protect Yancuo from now on. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
