Chapter 204 Photo Album
Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou looked at each other, and Shen Jiazhou raised his chin: "Take it out and let me see it?"
Wen Shuqiao then reached out and picked up the photo album on top. Cancan immediately squeezed into her arms, leaning against her legs and looking at the album curiously. Even Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but move closer.
Wen Shuqiao didn't waste any time and directly opened the album cover. The first photo was a photo of Wen Zhixia and Shen Jiachen.
Both of them were wearing the same short-sleeved shirt and took a selfie sitting on a bench.
Cancan was surprised and said, "It's mom! And dad!"
Wen Shuqiao nodded softly. There was only one photo on a page. She turned the page again and again, only to find that there were words on the back of the photo.
[Baby, this is the night that mom promised dad to be together. It is a super beautiful summer night. I want to share it with you~]
Cancan didn't recognize the words and was about to ask, but the system in his brain slowly read them to him. Not only that, Wen Shuqiao also read them softly.
Cancan blinked and said, "Aunt, when the summer night comes, let's go play too, okay?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay."
Shen Jiazhou looked at the familiar handwriting and felt a little melancholy. He didn't expect that he could still see Shen Jiachen's handwriting three years after his death.
Wen Shuqiao noticed Shen Jiazhou's silence, turned his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Shen Jiazhou said softly, "I just saw his handwriting suddenly and I was a little slow to react. Just keep reading."
Wen Shuqiao flipped through the photo album silently again. There was a short text behind each photo, recording what happened at that time.
The first book consists almost entirely of photos of the two of them, and in the second half of the second book, Cancan’s figure gradually appears.
Cancan whispered, "Aunt, this was when I was a baby."
Wen Shuqiao praised: "The baby has been cute since childhood."
Cancan smiled shyly, but did not forget to say to the system: [Brother, this is me when I was a baby. Wasn’t it cute? ]
The system looked at the photos through Cancan's eyes and murmured: [Cute, really cute. ]
Cancan asked again: [Brother, do you have photos of you when you were a baby? Let’s share them together!]
The system did not answer him, and Cancan did not care about the system's silence, because as soon as he finished speaking, he heard his aunt reading the text behind the photo, and his attention was all on the photo.
He has to listen carefully!
The third photo album contains mostly photos of Cancan, and occasionally there are photos of Wen Zhixia and him. There are still text records behind each photo, but the handwriting has changed. Wen Zhixia took over Shen Jiachen's records.
[Baby, today I brought you to the aquarium. Dad and I have been here before. You like turtles very much. Mom thinks that you are also like a little turtle, slow and slow.]
[……]
[Baby, today is your second birthday. I wish you a happy birthday. I bought you a cartoon cake. You like it very much. Your round eyes are smiling like little moons. When you go to bed at night, you secretly ask me, where is Daddy? Baby, Daddy went to a very beautiful place to wait for Mommy.]
[Baby, you started using baby chopsticks today. You are so amazing and smart! I’ll take a picture of it so you can enjoy it later!]
[……]
There are five photo albums in total, and they look really fast.
The last photo is a photo of Wen Zhixia and Cancan. Judging from the background, they should be in an old house. Both of them are smiling happily, and their eyes are curved to the same degree.
This was also the first and last time Wen Zhixia appeared after Cancan was two years old. She seemed to have completely changed. She was very thin, as if only a piece of skin covered her bones. Although she had makeup on her face, her illness could still be seen.
Cancan blinked, touched Wen Zhixia's face with her fingers, and didn't say anything.
Although Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou were mentally prepared, they still couldn't bear to see Wen Zhixia suffering from illness.
Shen Jiazhou said: "Let's see what's written."
This is the last one.
Wen Shuqiao also nodded. She turned it over and found that there were more words behind this photo.
"Aunt, why doesn't mom write anymore?" Cancan was a little surprised.
Shen Jiazhou also took a look, then looked away: "Maybe she thinks this photo is beautiful enough."
The mother and son stood in the sun, radiating warmth from their whole bodies.
In fact, what might be even more cruel is that Wen Zhixia could no longer hold a pen at that time. After all, judging from the handwriting on the first ten or so pages, it had gradually become "deformed".
Cancan said "oh", obviously accepting what her uncle said.
He also thought this photo was beautiful, even though his mother left him after taking this photo.
Wen Shuqiao's fingers were tightly pinching a corner of the photo. Wen Zhixia had actually written something. Although her handwriting was not as beautiful as before, one could still tell what she had written.
[Baby, I have done everything I can, but the chances are high that I will fail. You should be with your uncle now. Mommy hopes that while you feel love, you can also have the ability to love and keen perception. If possible, Mommy hopes that you and your uncle can support each other, go see the beautiful world, take good care of yourself, and take good care of your uncle. I hope you can both jump out of the destined trajectory and find a new life.]
"Shu Qiao? Shu Qiao?"
Shen Jiazhou frowned, keenly aware that something seemed to be wrong with her.
Wen Shuqiao came back to her senses. She looked at Shen Jiazhou and suddenly said quickly, "She wrote, she said, baby, I did everything I could..."
But the more she talked, the more dizzy she felt.
Shen Jiazhou watched her mouth open and close, but heard nothing, and immediately became nervous: "Shu Qiao? Shu Qiao? What did you say?"
But the next second, Wen Shuqiao fainted, and Shen Jiazhou caught her steadily to prevent her from falling forward.
Shen Jiazhou tilted his head slightly and rested his chin on her hot forehead.
Why did the fever suddenly reoccur?
Cancan was also startled, and quickly reached out to touch his aunt's face: "Aunt, aunt?"
Shen Jiazhou did not dare to delay and was about to pick her up and take her to the hospital when Wen Shuqiao slowly woke up.
"I... I'm fine, I'm fine..." She opened her eyes and found herself in Shen Jiazhou's arms.
She sat up immediately and felt dizzy again, but she didn't faint like before.
Shen Jiazhou frowned and said, "Don't hold on. I'll take you to the hospital now."
Wen Shuqiao said, "I'm really fine. I might have been bored in there. Let's go home today."
Shen Jiazhou looked at her pale face. She seemed fine just now, but suddenly changed when she was about to say something.
This is so strange. Wen Shuqiao has been in a bad state since returning from the small town. What happened?
Wen Shuqiao raised his hand to touch Cancan who was still worried, but when he raised his hand, he found that his wrist was restrained by something.
When she lowered her head, she saw Shen Jiazhou's warm palm tightly holding her wrist.
Shen Jiazhou's attention was always on Wen Shuqiao. Seeing her gaze moving downwards, he naturally looked down as well and saw that his own useless hand was holding someone else's.
Shen Jiazhou released his hand and stood up: "Then let's go home first."
Then he looked around, as if trying to find something.
Cancan looked at his uncle in confusion and couldn't help asking the system: [Uncle, what are you doing? ]
The system code fluctuated twice: [I don't know, maybe he's busy. ]
Then the system asked again: [What is written behind the last photo? ]
Cancan had already put the photo back into the drawer according to his aunt's instructions, planning to come back to get it next time. He replied: [Mom didn't write it! ]
[She wrote it.] The system confirmed: [She wrote it.]
Cancan was very confused, but after seeing his aunt stand up, he hurriedly held her hand, held her waist with his other hand, and walked slowly.
He said: [I didn’t see it!]
The system looked at Wen Shuqiao, who had suddenly turned pale, and the code fluctuated again: [Aunt saw it.]
She must have seen it, too.
