The Sweet Love - C208

When the silent plants swayed with the wind, for a moment I really thought there was a spirit in the world.

At that moment, it was as if they could really see Wang Fangyuan’s soul standing together with her mother’s soul. They held hands, smiling as they walked towards their homeland, and even lightly waved their hands towards us as they turned their heads, with a slight smile on their lips, as if they were grateful. Then, they said: “Don’t send us off.”

Red Cloud and I stood there for a while, quietly watching, then we turned around and went down the mountain.

I turned my head to look at the red cloud. I gently placed my hand on her shoulder and whispered, “Are you at ease now?”

Red Cloud nodded slightly. When I saw that her complexion seemed to be better, I calmed down.

We slowly walked back to the hotel. Just as we arrived at the hotel, my phone rang. I took out my phone, looked at the caller ID, and saw that it was Jin Zicheng.

I signaled Red Cloud to go up first with my gaze while I stood in front of the door and picked up the phone. “Hello, is there something you need?”

“Where are you now?” he asked me, his voice clearly unhappy, as if he had heard it many times before.

I suddenly remembered that he had told me a long time ago that if I had anywhere I wanted to go, I would have to tell him in advance. This time, I had left in a hurry, and then I had forgotten about it.

I think that his obvious displeasure must have been due to anger after he discovered that I wasn’t at home.

So I opened my mouth and said with a little bit of guilt, “Uhm… Right now, I’m in Tong City. I came here with Hong Yun because I had something to do. I left in such a hurry that I forgot to tell you.

Yes, that’s right. When dealing with Jin Zicheng, I realized that as long as I apologize in advance when he’s angry, no matter what it is, I will blame it on myself first. He would easily calm down and after that, if you were to properly reason with him, he would normally be able to continue listening.

As expected, Jin Zicheng’s tone of voice had a tinge of gentleness in it. He asked: “What the hell are you doing there?”

I hesitated for a moment, but I also knew that if I didn’t say it now, she would definitely be angered. Thus, after thinking about it for a while, I decided to avoid it and replied, “We had a friend in a car accident and said before she died that she wanted to be buried in her hometown. Hong Yun and I came to Tong County and wanted to bury her here.”

I didn’t say anything about Red Cloud or my guilt. There are too many things that need to be involved in this wonderful relationship. Unless it’s a special situation, I don’t want to say it.

But when Jin Zicheng finished listening, he only said in a short but powerful voice, “Nonsense.”

I didn’t argue with him. I just went along with his meaning and said, “Fine, fine, fine. I’m messing around. What business do you have with me? If there’s anything urgent, then you can tell me now. If you’re not in a hurry, then I’ll go back tomorrow.

But then, I fell into a long silence, so silent that I almost thought that he had already hung up. Just when I took off my phone to see if he had hung up, he suddenly said from the other side, “You wait over there tomorrow. I’ll go find you.”

I was a little surprised and hurriedly rejected, “If you have something to say, you can say it now. There’s no need to come and pick me up. This will be too much of a burden.”
