Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C86
Lin Jingsheng was also there. Although he didn’t acknowledge Chi Hongtian as his father, he was on good terms with the old man and called him grandpa. From their blood relation, it was not surprising that he was here.
“Warm, send him a copy.” Lin Jingsheng pointed at the man kneeling in front of the mourning hall with a plate in his hand. It was simple food.
She took it. “Yes, thank you.”
Chi Yinan was very stubborn. She didn’t have the confidence to let him eat, so she just put the plate beside him and stood beside him for a while. The old man in the photo was still very young, wearing a military cap and a handsome smile.
“Chi Yinan, it’s not painful for the old man. It’s good fortune.”
Chi Yinan didn’t say anything and just raised his head to look at her, then pulled her hand and made her kneel together with him. In fact, she hadn’t understood her status in the funeral, but kneeling here with him was undoubtedly her identity as the Chi family’s granddaughter-in-law.
Lin Jingsheng had his hands by his side as he looked in their direction. He turned around and met Chi XianTian’s eyes.
“Jing Sheng, let’s go out and talk.”
After turning a corner, there was another exit. With his hands behind his back, he stopped under a withered and yellow parasol tree, while Lin Jingsheng stood not far behind him, looking at the man with his back straight under the tree. He was no longer young, and time had left an indelible mark on his face, and more things appeared in his eyes.
“Jing Sheng, you and Yi Nan are brothers. I don’t think I owe anyone in this life, but I found out that I owe you and your mother too much. It’s only right that you didn’t acknowledge me.” He had too many things to say in his heart, but he didn’t know where to start from. The child that had already grown into a man was his son, a son with the same blood flowing from his body.
Chi Xiongtian had talked to him about this before. He turned sideways: “My mother and I are living a good life, don’t you blame yourself. If my mother hadn’t left, would you have gotten together?”
Chi Hongtian’s eyes looked far away, as if he was lost in the memories of his youth. He reached out his hand to touch the dead tree trunk and sighed: “Maybe I won’t be able to get far.”
In his previous life, there were many things that his generation couldn’t say, just like why her mother left at that time, and why she would rather be a single mother to give birth to him, than to reunite with him.
“Jing Sheng, you’ve seen Yi Nan and Wen Jin, they still care about each other.”
“Yeah, I can’t fool myself even if you say so.” In the end, their eyes could still see each other, even though she had never admitted it.
“Put it down. One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon.”
Lin Jingsheng didn’t answer, but walked back along the small path. It was clearly the same scenery, but he felt that it was different from before. When he returned to the mourning hall, they were no longer there.
