lu yinxi’s heart tightened. she couldn’t help but shout at lu ziai, ” aunt! ” she panicked.
what was she standing there for?
lu ziai seemed to be saying something. lu yinxi could see her lips moving, but she couldn’t hear it. after she calmed down, lu yinxi quickly put her phone back to her ear.
lu yinxi heard lu ziai say, ” i feel bad. yinxi, come up and talk to me. ”
lu yinxi knew that her aunt had been lonely all these years. she was afraid that her aunt would jump off the building and commit suicide when she was disheartened. she ran up the stairs, but after one step, her knees hurt, and she fell to the ground.
at this time, lu yinxi couldn’t care less about the pain. she got up and limped toward the electric ladder under the surprised gazes of the others.
aunt, don’t do anything stupid.
lu ziai stood on the edge of the rooftop and witnessed the scene of lu yinxi falling. she was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said softly, ” silly girl. ”
she seemed to have thought of something else, and her tone became sad again. ” silly guy. ” the tone of this ‘silly fellow’ was different from before. it was 30% doting, 30% sadness, 30% nostalgia, and the remaining 10% was filled with hatred.
for the first time, lu yinxi hated the fact that the elevator was so slow.
when the elevator reached the top floor, lu yinxi rushed out.
the top floor of the elevator was the floor below the rooftop, mainly used for meetings. there were usually no large meetings to attend, so this floor was quiet. lu yinxi walked down the corridor. the entire floor echoed with her footsteps.
he was a little anxious and flustered.
she ran up the stairs to the rooftop and saw a lock scattered on the marble platform in the corner behind the door.
lu yinxi stared at the lock and felt that something was wrong.
did my aunt pick a lock to go to the rooftop?
my aunt actually knows how to pick locks!
lu yinxi went to the rooftop and saw that her aunt was still standing behind the women and children building’s sign. she was wearing a camel-colored coat that reached her knees. she wore a pair of gray fur boots and stood in the dark, her figure slender.
she had a kind of beauty that left the world behind, and this beauty was heartbreaking.
“aunt.” lu yinxi called out to lu ziai.
she didn’t even dare to raise her voice for fear of disturbing lu ziai.
lu ziai hummed in acknowledgment but did not turn around.
lu yinxi tugged at her pants with her right hand. she took a few deep breaths before walking over to lu ziai’s side. they looked down at the city together. lu ziai didn’t speak, and lu yinxi naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to speak either.
by the time lu ziai’s silence was over, lu yinxi was already numb from standing.
“i haven’t been to this hospital for many years.” lu ziai said.
lu yinxi didn’t know if her aunt wanted to chat with her. when she heard this, she didn’t say anything. instead, she turned slightly and looked up at her. lu ziai looked ahead. it was the shadow of the city, the bustling streets, and the skyscrapers.
lu ziai called her name, ” yinxi. ”
“aunt.”
“do you know where we are?”
lu yinxi thought about it and asked with uncertainty, ” women and children? ”
lu ziai shook her head. what she said next almost scared lu yinxi out of her wits.
lu ziai said, ” this is the place where she jumped off the building. ”
was she referring to her aunt’s lover?
lu yinxi’s heart beat faster. why did her aunt come to the place where her lover died?
she pointed below and said, ” i held the chicken soup and stood there, watching her turn over and fall. she was like a puppet with a broken string. she fell to the ground, fell in front of me, and made a “pa” sound.” lu ziai’s voice was trembling.
more than ten years had passed. when he recalled that scene, lu ziai felt like he was in that moment.
she was panicking, desperate, and afraid.
after a moment of silence, lu ziai spoke again, his voice still calm. ” she opened her eyes and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. she died with her eyes open. ”
lu yinxi’s face paled.
“aunt.” lu yinxi tugged at lu ziai’s sleeve gently. ” it’s all in the past, aunt, ” she said.
“it’s over?” lu ziai sneered and shook his head. ” i can’t. i lived on the day she left. i can’t get over it. ”
lu ziai was speechless.
at the same time, in the fang family.
fang zicheng returned home and had dinner with his family.
qiao jiusheng and the others were preparing to go shopping, and spring was just around the corner. the mall had just released new designs, and qiao jiusheng wanted to decorate her family with new clothes. with a fashionable mother, fang zicheng and fang zikai had so many clothes that they couldn’t even count.
fang yusheng had already changed his clothes, and he was so handsome that even the gods would be angry at him. fang zikai laughed at his father, ” dad, why are you dressed so flirtatiously? ”
fang yusheng walked over and punched him in the stomach.
fang zikai pretended to be injured, holding his stomach as he stepped back, saying, ” oh, oh, oh, i’m going to die, quick, someone save me! ”
the crowd looked at fang zikai, the drama queen, and ignored him.
fang zicheng’s heart was filled with thoughts and he did not say a word throughout the whole process. he just watched them make a scene. fang taoran had also changed into a knitted dress. she was carrying a small shell bag and standing beside qiao jiusheng, dressed fashionably.
“alright, it’s getting late. you guys should go.” chi boguang despised them for being noisy and chased them away.
fang yusheng glanced at his father, probably a little dissatisfied.
seeing his son looking over, chi boguang put away the look of disdain on his face and put on a straight face. he added, ” the mall will be closed if we’re late. ” this was an explanation.
it was fine if he didn’t explain, but the moment he did, it seemed like he was trying to cover up something.
fang yusheng snorted and left with his wife and children.
after they left, chi boguang said to lisa, ” shall we go square dance? ” chi boguang had recently fallen in love with square dancing. when the music started, he would hug lisa’s waist and dance in the square. with his elegant temperament, he was the most handsome man in the crowd when he danced.
lisa did not know whether to laugh or cry. ” i don’t really want to go … ” she felt that being watched as she danced was like a monkey performing tricks.
chi boguang would not listen to her. ” let’s go. change your clothes and dance. ”
10 minutes later, two 70-year-old elders in punk-style had driven to the park beside dragonbay. as soon as lisa and chi boguang appeared, the aunties and men automatically made room for them.
chi boguang was old, but his body wasn’t old. he followed the music and danced to the disco and the ghostly dance steps. but lisa loved to dance tango, but today’s clothes were not suitable for it.
under everyone’s gaze, the two of them jumped up and started to do disco …
some young people even took videos of them dancing and posted them on weibo, calling them the most loving old couple.
…
tonight, qiao jiusheng and the others were going to the most famous shopping mall in binjiang city,’ten miles fragrance’.
from the north city to the shi li xiang commercial street, they needed to go through a highway. the car drove on the highway and onto an overpass. fang zicheng’s phone rang. fang zicheng was looking out of the window in a daze. fang zikai noticed that his brother was in a daze, so he nudged him.
“brother, answer the phone!”
