"I'll take you there."
Yang Shuyu led him to an empty room upstairs.
"Yang Wu lived here when he was alive."
"I have kept this house forever and never moved."
"It's full of his stuff, including the letters he sent me back and your photos. They're all stored here."
Lu Yanzhuo scanned the entire room very slowly.
Suddenly I felt unbearable heartache.
Awu died without even a corpse left.
This is the only place that seems to be left for him.
Seeing his eyes welling up, Yang Shuyu lowered her head and silently wiped away her tears. "I know you didn't want to see us all these days because you were afraid we would blame you."
"But Xiao Lu, you're wrong."
"He sent us a letter before he died, saying that you were his best brother in this life and that you saved him. If he dies one day, no matter why, let us not harbor any resentment towards you."
"So, we didn't blame you."
"Not even a single day."
Lu Yanzhuo was deeply saddened.
It turns out that Wu had already prepared for sacrifice so early...
A silent bitterness filled his chest.
"I'm sorry... Auntie, I'm sorry..."
"If he hadn't saved me, he wouldn't have died..."
He and Yang Wu belong to the Ice Fox Mercenary Group.
At that time, he and Yang Wu took a secret commission to go to the enemy's core base to steal intelligence documents.
While escaping, they were discovered by the Black Wolf Corps, and all their escape routes were blocked.
He blew up half of the base and found the only exit.
Originally, Yang Wu was supposed to leave with the documents.
But he handed him the document.
He lit the incendiary device on his body and used his body as a wall of fire to block the people who were trying to stop him.
He successfully escaped...
Lu Yanzhuo looked at Yang Shuyu.
My heart was tightly clenched, filled with endless guilt and self-blame.
She is Awu's mother.
But for him, she endured the pain of losing her son...
Why wasn't I the one who died?
Yang Shuyu patted his shoulder.
"Silly boy, you all work for the country. Ever since he decided to go to the battlefield and join the mercenary group, I knew this day would come sooner or later..."
She wiped her tears again.
"I know that you have been secretly helping and taking care of us all along."
"Xiaopang's tuition and the money I used to open this B&B were all sent by you."
"Now that we've let it go, you should get out of here soon and start a new life."
"Stop torturing yourself."
"If Yang Wu is still alive, he definitely wouldn't want to see you like this..."
After she finished speaking, she took out the letters Yang Wu had sent before and placed them on the table.
He then considerately closed the door.
Leave Lu Yanzhuo some time alone.
Lu Yanzhuo read the letters one by one, then picked up the photo of them and touched it with tears in his eyes.
He sat there.
Sat for a long, long time.
…
downstairs.
Xiaopang asked Shen Zhiyi while moving his luggage.
"Sister, will you and big brother go to watch the sunset in the evening?"
Shen Zhiyi glanced upstairs.
"Yes."
She believed he could get out.
*
At dusk.
The setting sun, with its fragments of gold, gently covers the entire sea surface.
Shen Zhiyi stood by the seashore, lifted a strand of hair flying on the side of her face, turned around and asked the silent Lu Yanzhuo.
"Want a hug?"
He stared blankly at the sea.
Hearing this, he turned his head.
Seeing her smile gently and open her arms towards him, his heart suddenly moved.
Without any hesitation.
He leaned forward, embraced her, and held her tightly in his arms.
It seems like I can draw some strength from her.
The power to fight against all pain.
The setting sun shone on them.
Their shadows are put together and dragged out long.
It seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world.
