"Xiao Heng, come and see, is this yours?" Song's mother asked excitedly, holding up the pendant.
Song Heng, who had originally been in the mood to joke with his mother, instantly lost his smile, his expression turned serious, and he strode forward to take the pendant back into his hand.
Song's mother was startled by Song Heng's actions and, not knowing what was wrong with him, quickly explained, "Aunt Li saw it on the sink when she went to do the laundry. I don't know if you left it there..."
Seeing that his mother seemed a little nervous, Song Heng realized that he might have been too agitated and frightened her, so he softened his expression and sat down next to her.
Thinking that in their eyes, I am indeed quite old and still unmarried, it is understandable that they are anxious.
But I really have no plans to get married in the future, and I haven't found anyone else I want to spend the rest of my life with.
"That's fine..." Song Heng thought to himself.
Song Heng plans to confess to his mother that he did indeed meet someone and was very determined to spend his life with her, but unfortunately...
There will be no more...
After making up his mind, Song Heng told his mother in detail about his situation with that girl.
Just like what Song Yan told Wen Ruan before, it also mentioned that in the end, the girl hid the injured Song Heng, went alone to lure away the enemy, and never came back.
Song's mother felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this, her heart clenching with pain... She never imagined that there would be such a story between the two of them.
That girl was forever frozen at the age of twenty...
Just as Song Heng was telling his story with that girl, something seemed to suddenly flash through Wen Ruan's mind, but she couldn't quite grasp it. She could only try to recall it carefully and listen attentively to Song Heng's story with that girl.
Over there, Song's mother asked Song Yan about the details of his relationship with that girl, and as she listened, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Just then, she suddenly understood why Song Heng was unwilling to go on blind dates or get married.
I've thought about this a lot before. Maybe it's because Song Heng is too busy with work to pay attention to his family; maybe it's because he hasn't met someone he likes or is attracted to; I've even thought of the reason that Song Heng was injured during a mission and didn't want to let down or hurt the girl.
But I never imagined it would be for such a heartbreaking reason.
After hearing this, Song's mother also felt a pang of self-reproach...
Unbeknownst to her, during the time she frequently wrote letters or called Song Heng, and during the period when he returned from his family visit leave and pressured him to go on blind dates, Song Heng endured so much alone...
Song Heng's eyes were filled with pain. He had never mentioned these things to anyone. If his mother and the others hadn't discovered some details, he wouldn't have told them. These experiences and pain would accompany him for the rest of his life until he left this world.
He can't move on, and he can't forget. Song Heng admitted.
Wen Ruan listened very attentively and was moved by the sincere feelings between the two. Tears welled up in her eyes, and Song Heng, who was standing nearby, quickly reached out and hugged her to comfort her.
Wen Ruan suddenly remembered a sentence from her past life: "What truly killed me was never the news of their departure the moment I learned it, but rather a moment when I calmed down and suddenly thought of fragmented memories related to them. That was death by a thousand cuts..." Song Heng found this sentence very applicable.
Song's mother repeatedly said that she would no longer urge Song Heng to find a partner and get married, and only hoped that he could get over this pain as soon as possible.
“If that girl knew how sad you are right now, she would be sad too…” Song’s mother kept comforting her.
To avoid worrying his mother and family, Song Heng put on a relieved expression and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past..."
But Wen Ruan could tell that Song Heng seemed to be saying these things, but the melancholy in his eyes showed no sign of relief.
"Brother, can I see this photo again?" Wen Ruan suddenly asked.
The photo had been in Song's mother's hands the whole time, so Wen Ruan only glanced at it a few times. She only knew that the girl was quite good-looking and had a somewhat dashing temperament.
Wen Ruan felt that the people in the photos were very familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before, at some time or in some place.
I thought I'd take the photo back and look at it more closely to confirm if my feelings were true and to see if I could recall anything else.
When Song Heng heard Wen Ruan's question, he didn't suspect anything, assuming she was just curious. He carefully wiped the framed glass with his right thumb and then handed it to Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan also noticed how much Song Heng valued the photo, and she accepted it very carefully.
After receiving the photograph, Wen Ruan examined it carefully.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into my mind, and I became quite excited.
He stood up abruptly, looking somewhat surprised and even incredulous: "Brother, what's this girl's name?"
"Does she have any other siblings?" Wen Ruan looked at Song Heng with serious eyes.
Those around them were somewhat surprised, wondering what had suddenly happened and why Wen Ruan's emotions were so volatile.
Song Yan was also a little worried and asked, "Ruan Ruan, what's wrong?"
But Wen Ruan ignored Song Yan completely, staring intently at Song Heng with a very serious expression: "Big brother, answer my question. Trust me, this is very important."
Song Heng was startled by Wen Ruan's reaction. He was quite certain that Yan Yan could not possibly know Wen Ruan.
