Chapter 180 "Be safe, child"

As far as she knew, Chu Shuang never knew about her relationship with Chu Wei.

She didn't dare to tell Chu Shuang. Firstly, she was afraid that she would be sad thinking of her brother. Secondly, there was no need to tell her. What would happen if she knew?

"I know everything about you and your brother." Chu Shuang said.

Chao Yu looked at her through tears and murmured, "...You called me sister-in-law?"

As if talking to herself, she covered her mouth and cried, "You call me sister-in-law...sister-in-law..."

"In my heart, you have long been my sister-in-law, but I dare not call you that." Chu Shuang choked up, "Thank you for loving my brother, thank you for spending such a happy time with him before."

Chao Yu let out a long sigh, "You know, his image in my mind has become increasingly blurred over the years..."

"For ten years, no one knows how I got through it. The only thing that kept me going was to remember his kindness and live well." Her voice was very soft, and a little distant. "But I haven't seen him for too long. It turns out that someone who was once so familiar would also become a blur with the passage of time."

It seemed that only by frowning could she ease the pain a little. For the first time, Chao Yu broke down in front of others and couldn't hold back her tears. "I can accept the fact that he is gone. But I can't accept that his appearance in my memory is gradually becoming blurred. I can't grasp anything, as if that was his second death..."

Chu Shuang listened and felt a pain in her heart.

"If I didn't have his photo, I don't know if I would be able to remember his smile in the future." Chao Yu walked forward and wiped away the tears that kept flowing down Chu Shuang's face with her thumb, "Don't cry, Ah Shuang."

"But one day, I found that you looked a lot like him when you smiled, with bright eyes, curly eyelashes, and that kind of gentle smile that made people want to cry. I have never seen it on anyone else."

Chao Yu curled her lips, "I was so happy at that time. You were his favorite little sister and his closest relative. I saw him in you, and sometimes it felt like he was smiling at me."

"That's great. I think I won't have to worry about not remembering what he looks like in the future. Sister, you must be happy. You deserve the best of everything in the world. You should be happy forever, and that will make him happy too."

She looked at Sheng Ting, "Sheng Ting, you are a very good person. I feel relieved to have you by her side. You two should be well and live together till old age. There is nothing to worry about. When you are in my situation, you will understand that except life and death, everything else is nothing."

After listening to her words, Sheng Ting asked, "Are you going to Africa?"

"Tomorrow, come and see him today, and leave tomorrow."

Sheng Ting was silent for a moment, "Have a safe journey, take care."

Before Chaoyu left, Chushuang hugged her, and all her words turned into one sentence: "Be safe and sound, sister."

Chao Yu was a little dazed.

Ten years ago, someone told her the same thing.

When she received the news of Chu Wei's death, her mind went blank. She rushed thousands of miles to the funeral home and still couldn't believe it was true.

The world collapsed in an instant.

I can’t remember how long I cried. When I fainted and woke up, there was a kind white-haired old lady standing by my bed.

She said she was Chu Wei's grandmother. The old lady was very kind and her eyes were full of love when she looked at her.

Her grandmother talked to her a lot, and to this day she still remembers how much she broke down crying in front of the old lady.

On the day of separation, the old lady gave her a string of red Bodhi Buddhist beads.

"All is well, little one."

Those were the Buddhist beads she had prayed for her grandson's safety, but she would never have the chance to give them to Chu Wei again.
