Memories will punish everyone who doesn't sleep or can't sleep at night. Yanluo closed her eyes. In the quiet living room, only Shiyue's snoring could be heard. Shiyue slept peacefully. It was Yanluo who gave her such a comfortable and safe environment to live in, even though there were some minor setbacks.
It wasn't until Su Qing sat down next to Yan Luo and called his name softly that he finally came back to his senses.
"Husband." Su Qing saw that Yan Luo had his eyes closed and there were glistening tears in the corners of his eyes, and she was very worried about him.
Yanlu put her arm around Su Qing's shoulder. "Why are you up?"
Su Qing nestled into her lover's arms and said, "I got up to use the restroom and saw you sitting here. What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Yanluo then noticed that her eyes were a little wet and hurriedly wanted to reach out to wipe them, but Su Qing stopped her. Su Qing reached out and gently wiped away Yanluo's tears with her warm fingers.
Their eyes met, and only silent love spread in the dimly lit living room. October was put aside, and Su Qing closed her eyes and raised her head. Yan Luo understood and kissed her lips.
Su Qing was held tightly in Yan Luo's arms. Feeling the warmth of Yan Luo's chest, the girl said, "Don't be sad. I'm here, everyone is here. A-Yan is not alone."
Yan Luo nodded gently and explained, "I was just thinking about the past. Everyone was carefree back then. It's just a pity that Grandpa and Mom and Dad are gone. I'm useless. I couldn't even protect my sister."
Su Qing felt heartbroken for Yan Luo upon hearing this. She held Yan Luo's hand, unsure of what to say.
Yanluo knew that her emotions would affect Su Qing's mood, so she quickly composed herself, smiled at Su Qing, and said, "Fortunately, God has been kind to me. I still have you, the children, and everyone else. I am not without anything."
Su Qing pursed her lips and kissed Yan Luo's lips again. No words of comfort were needed; a long kiss was enough to express their feelings and let them lean on each other.
Su Qing buried Yan Luo's face in her arms, rested her chin on her lover's head, and whispered, "I love you, Yan Luo."
Yanluo nodded, inhaling the scent that was most familiar to her on Su Qing.
"Me too."
Yan Luo didn't know how he finally fell asleep. When he woke up in the morning, he and Su Qing were lying on the wooden bench, snuggling in the girl's arms and sleeping very comfortably. Tu Keke had covered them with a blanket when she got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Yanluo got up, picked up Su Qing, and placed her next to her cousin Zhang Chuchu. After covering the two girls with blankets, she went downstairs.
Tu Keke and Man Sui were already practicing Tai Chi with Chu Ying in the yard. The two girls didn't expect the old man to get up so early. They thought they were already the earliest to get up at five o'clock, but they didn't expect there to be an expert.
In fact, many elderly people have trouble sleeping and don't sleep well, and Chu Ying was no exception.
Seeing that Tu Keke and Man Sui were fighting quite well, Chu Ying was overjoyed. Yan Luo said helplessly, "Master, please be careful with your movements. You're using crutches, be careful not to hurt your back."
Chu Ying smiled broadly.
"You little brat, you don't know anything. This old man is in great shape. That so-called boxing champion is no match for me."
At this moment, Chu Ying was in excellent spirits, showing no signs of being a candle flickering in the wind.
Yan Luo was also pulled into the group practicing Tai Chi by Tu Keke and Man Sui. He took the opportunity to ask, "Grandpa, do you know my grandma?"
Chu Ying was not yet senile. He gently pushed out a palm and replied, "Your grandmother is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Even Hangzai's grandmother pales in comparison."
“Your grandfather worked in Beijing back then. When he came back, he brought your grandmother back with him, along with a large sum of money. I had some savings from working as a chef, and my brother Nian had his own salary as a teacher. The three of us brothers started a business together, which is how we got our current home.”
However, no matter how roundabout the conversation went, Chu Ying simply wouldn't mention Yan Luo's grandmother, a matter that Tu Keke was very concerned about.
"Grandpa, what's my great-grandmother's name?"
Chu Ying simply smiled.
"Her name? I'm afraid only your great-grandfather would know. We all call her sister-in-law, and we don't even know her surname."
"But I heard from my brother that she was the eldest daughter of a very powerful family in the capital. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law died young at the age of twenty-five."
Tu Keke frowned. If even Chu Ying didn't know, then no one in the world would know.
Chu Ying exhaled a breath of turbid air and pointed towards the back mountain, saying, "When my sister-in-law passed away, my brother handled everything by himself. He only told us that she was buried deep in the back mountain. If you want to know, the back mountain may hold the answers you seek."
A glint flashed in Tu Keke's blue eyes, and she immediately formed a plan. Yan Luo also had an idea; he wanted to visit his grandmother's grave in person and pay his respects to the grandmother he had never met.
So after breakfast, Yanluo led Tu Keke and Mansui toward the back mountain.
The back mountain of Changqing Village is very large, but it is not a big problem for Yanluo. After his perception spreads, he can see everything on the mountain. Soon, Yanluo locked onto a cave deep in the back mountain.
Without saying a word, Yan Luo took Tu Keke and Man Sui's hands and teleported to the cave she had explored.
Tu Keke really likes Yanluo's ability. If she had this ability, she could go wherever she wanted, which would be so convenient.
"Uncle, why did you bring us here? Shouldn't we have started searching from the outer perimeter?"
Yan Luo tapped Tu Keke on the head.
"You'll know how long it will take to find someone who starts from the outside. You'll understand when you reach my level. If you're not good, just practice more, baby."
Tu Keke, who was hit on the head, was also mocked, which made the girl stomp her feet in anger.
Caves are usually dark and damp, but the three people who entered the cave did not feel uncomfortable. The air in the cave was not unpleasant, and they could see light as they went further in.
Yanluo could tell at a glance that this was not a natural stone cave, but one that had been broken open by a powerful force. It must have been made by her grandfather, and the surrounding air was moving.
Sure enough, at the end, Yanluo and the other two saw a dilapidated tombstone with a hole above it. Light shone down from above, giving the tombstone an indescribable sense of sanctity.
It is the hole above that allows air to circulate inside the cave, so there is no unpleasant smell.
Yan Luo walked towards the tombstone and used a cleansing spell to wipe away the thick dust on it, revealing the words on the tombstone.
The words "Yan Wuxie's wife" were on it, but there was no mention of the grandmother's name. Yan Luo searched along the characters, hoping to find some clues, but ultimately found nothing.
The presence of Grandpa's name confirmed that this was indeed Grandma's grave. Yanluo and the somewhat somber Tu Keke knelt down and kowtowed three times to Grandma.
Tu Keke was filled with thoughts at this moment, and it seemed that there was only one last way to confirm the facts.
Man Sui went to the woods outside and picked a lot of flowers, scattering them around the grave mound. Yan Luo stared at her grandmother's tombstone, seemingly lost in thought. Even Tu Keke stood there, head bowed in contemplation.
