When Chi Shuwen woke up, there was no one around him.
She looked at the time. It was half past six. She turned on the clock.
But at this time, if He Chengyun lay in bed with her, he would usually fall asleep in bed in the morning.
He doesn't get up early and exercises at other times.
Even though it’s Chinese New Year, there’s no need to get up so early.
She quickly got up, washed, and went downstairs to see if there was anything she could help with.
All the elders had gotten up, and she was the only one left among the younger generation.
I didn’t see He Chengyun downstairs either.
He's mother looked at her and asked with a smile, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? The ancestor worship will have to wait a while."
On the first day of the new year, the He family will worship their ancestors and visit He Yi's parents at the Martyrs' Cemetery.
She lived with him once that year.
When I woke up, He Chengyun was in bed.
"I want to help."
He's mother: "Everything was prepared in advance. Your grandparents understand these things better. I can't help."
"I'll teach you when I need you in the future."
Chi Shuwen couldn't sleep in either, but she didn't know what to do and wasn't very good at chatting.
"Sleep a little longer. The dumplings are ready. I'll call you to eat them."
He's mother saw that she was embarrassed and said.
Chi Shuwen still asked: "Have you seen He Chengyun? I didn't see him when I woke up."
He's mother shook her head, "I thought he was sleeping."
"You can call and ask. Mobile phones are convenient nowadays. It's not as troublesome as before to find someone."
Chi Shuwen was upset. It seemed like there was no affection between her and He Chengyun.
In fact, no, but I can't show it so obviously in front of the He family.
"I just asked casually, thinking he was downstairs. I'll call him right away."
She finished looking for the patch and hurried back to her room.
He's father said, "You knew it clearly, yet you still teased her. Look how scared she is."
He's mother: "I can't do anything, but I'll help as much as I can."
"It's not enough to confess this. I'm afraid your son will really lose her again."
At that time, He Chengyun didn't find anyone when he returned home, and he did those things in a daze over the years.
He seems to be doing well on the surface and nothing seems to be wrong.
But mother and son are connected by heart, and she can feel that he is unhappy inside.
So, she didn't want to go through it again.
He's father patted He's mother's shoulder and said, "It won't happen this time, don't worry."
"It's so hard to find a wife. Even if your son is lost, you can't lose her."
He's mother glared at him, "He's not your son?"
"Yes, yes, yes." He's father hugged her, "I said the wrong thing."
…
Chi Shuwen returned to his room, unlocked his phone, and called He Chengyun directly.
The call was picked up quickly.
"Missed me?"
“…”
Chi Shuwen paused, "What were you doing so early in the morning?"
He Chengyun smiled, "You've learned how to check on me now."
"no……"
Chi Shuwen denied being interrupted, "So, you really don't like me at all?"
“…”
At this moment, Chi Shuwen just wanted to hang up the phone.
Why did she feel that he suddenly became flirtatious?
Although others have said that he is flirtatious before, she didn't feel anything when she was with him.
He Chengyun didn't wait for her to speak, nor did he want to push her too hard.
"A friend of mine has an accident in the imperial capital. I'll pick him up during the ancestral worship ceremony."
Chi Shuwen hummed, "Then you are busy."
"OK."
She thought He Chengyun would hang up the phone, but after waiting, she found that he didn't.
She could hear his shallow breathing and some noise, as if someone was talking.
"I, I'm dead..."
"good."
Chi Shuwen hung up the phone, put down the phone and put his face in his hands.
It's so hot.
…
In winter, the sun rises late, and with the snow, the sky is gloomy and dark, with only a little light at eight o'clock.
The lights in the house must be on.
Chi Shuwen didn't know what to do. He took a book and read it without paying attention to the time.
He Miaomiao called her.
"Sister-in-law, are you awake? It's time to eat the dumplings."
She quickly opened the door and went out.
"woke up."
Sitting at the dinner table, Chi Shuwen discovered that besides He Chengyun, He Yuqi was also absent.
She didn't ask, thinking that he might be missing his parents and in a bad mood.
But when offering sacrifices to their ancestors, he and He Chengyun appeared together.
The corners of his mouth were bruised.
But she didn't ask any more questions.
Just because He Chengyun was around, her back relaxed a little.
He Chengyun stroked her back with his big hand, "Do you need me so much?"
“…”
At this solemn moment, she said nothing to him.
"Don't make a fuss."
"Okay, you decide."
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, they would go to visit their parents.
Obviously, the mood is different.
The sky is dark without the sun.
He Yuqi kowtowed, and Chi Shuwen followed the others in bowing.
Mr. and Mrs. He were in front, wiping the tombstone.
There wasn't even a photo, only a cold, black tombstone.
"There's no trace of the body left." He Chengyun whispered in Chi Shuwen's ear, "There's only the police badge and clothes here."
Chi Shuwen was shocked.
I bowed solemnly and thanked them in my heart for their efforts.
This allowed her to have many friends and live a stable life.
Compared to this, all the suffering she had experienced seemed insignificant.
He Chengyun looked at her serious face and the way she bowed earnestly. Later, her brows relaxed, as if she was relieved of something.
His eyes moved, and then he held her hand tightly.
"Let's go." Mr. He said, and they left.
When Chi Shuwen walked behind, he felt that his grandparents' backs were more bent.
Losing a loved one is one of the three greatest pains in the world.
…
It was relatively quiet during lunch, as my grandparents took a nap and Chi Shuwen helped clean up.
There is nothing else to do today.
Chi Shuwen and He Chengyun returned to their room.
He Chengyun hugged her.
Chi Shuwen didn't struggle either.
Thinking about him, he must be sad every day.
After all, they are his relatives.
The He family is happy and has a good relationship.
Thinking of this, she said, "Shouldn't you stay with your brother? He is the saddest today."
He was very quiet when he came, and he hardly said a word all day.
When he saw his parents crying, he just kept bowing to them.
"He has a wound on his forehead. Please help apply some medicine."
He Chengyun said: "He wants to find Jiang Ying more now."
But Jiang Ying doesn't like him.
"We should have a drink together now."
“…”
Chi Shuwen didn't see He Yuqi go out, but it is possible that she went out after she returned to her room.
"Aren't you going to ask me how I got back with him?"
He Chengyun was just making small talk.
It seems that she has no intention of continuing to talk.
Chi Shuwen was not interested, but perhaps out of respect for He Yuqi's parents, he wanted to show some concern.
"What did you do? I saw the corners of his mouth were bruised, but no one asked him."
"Catching an adulterer."
"What?"
He Chengyun held her and sat down beside the bed, saying, "No one asked He Yuqi. If I were to tell everyone, he wouldn't say anything even if I asked him."
Chi Shuwen nodded.
He Chengyun: "Jiang Ying left after setting off the fireworks yesterday and flew to the capital. Later, He Chengyun received news that she was meeting a man, and their relationship seemed very close."
