Finally, he had fulfilled Ling Xue's wish. She was the first Swordsman to complete her Second Job Advancement. Ling Xue also received the reward of the Hidden Profession Frost Warrior. Moreover, she also liked this profession very much. Because the attribute of the Profound Ice Sword Qi was also of the ice attribute, so in the future, the power of the Profound Ice Sword Qi would greatly increase!
Moreover, an Ice Swordsman's defense against an Ice Mage would also be doubled. In this way, the threat of Ling Xue's Ice Arrows and other spells would be greatly reduced. On the battlefield, her survivability would be greatly enhanced!
After throwing all the equipment in my bag into the shop and letting the NPC staff put them up for sale, I went offline. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I went to sleep because I had to go out in the afternoon. Ling Yue and Ling Xue also went to bed early. It was rare that they didn't have a celebration party in the hall after pulling an all-nighter.
… …
Until two in the afternoon, my hazy dreams were woken up by the sound of the alarm clock. It was about time.
I immediately went out. The hall of the workshop was very quiet. It seemed like everyone was still sleeping. Even Ling Xue and Ling Yue's room doors were tightly shut. I didn't disturb anyone.
I didn't disturb anyone and went out alone. I went downstairs and bought a bouquet of white flowers from the flower shop. Then, I went to the flower and bird market and bought a small pocket-sized coconut tree. This was something I would buy for my sister every year. When she was alive, she used to say that the leaves of the coconut tree looked like they were smiling. Of course, I had never felt that way. Even after my sister died, when I looked at the leaves of the coconut tree, I always felt that the shape of the coconut tree was crying.
I called a taxi and went directly to the cemetery.
The early autumn afternoon was cool. When the wind blew into the car, it was especially cool. The driver glanced at me and said, "Kid, you can't give your girlfriend flowers, right?"
I smiled faintly. "Maybe she likes..."
The driver smiled and said, "Yes, maybe someone will like it..."
Maybe he saw that I was not in a good mood, so the driver didn't say anything. Only when I got out of the car did he tell me the change.
The cemetery was very quiet. There were only a few people here and there. After several years of renovation, the cemetery in Suzhou had become much more solemn. At least, it was much cleaner than when I had brought my sister's ashes to Suzhou.
My sister seemed to have planned this for a long time. She jokingly said to me, "Scholar, if I die one day, you have to take my ashes to Jiangnan and bury them there. Suzhou or Hangzhou!
Hmm, that's not right. A second-generation rich kid in Hangzhou killed someone with his car. Let's choose Suzhou! "
"But why did you die?
Maybe I'll die earlier than you, and I'll be buried on the top of Mount Everest … "I said to her with a smile.
My sister looked at me deeply and said quietly, "Actually, I really want to live with you …"
Even after many years, I still remember the way my sister spoke. Her voice was very gentle, as if she would never blame anyone. However, I never thought that she was such a persistent person.
Under the shade of the trees, my sister's gravestone stood quietly. However, she was not Solitary Grave. There were many uncles and aunties lying here.
After placing the fresh flowers in front of the grave, I carefully pulled the coconut tree out of the pot. Then, I dug up the soil in front of my sister's grave. The coconut tree I had planted there had died a long time ago. I had to replace it with a new one.
After doing all this, I sat there alone and leaned against my sister's gravestone. I absentmindedly looked at the sky and said with a smile, "Sister, it's been five years. How have you been this year?"
Naturally, no one responded to me. I said to myself, "This summer, I met a girl. It was the first time I had this feeling. I think I might have fallen in love with her …"
I shook my head and grimaced. "After you left, I thought I would never touch any games again. I never thought that I would return to that battlefield for a girl … Sister, do you know?
I'm already number one in the game. Not only in China, but also in the world. I … I'm no longer the noob you called me, hehe … "
I took a deep breath and said with a smile, "For more than four years, I haven't had a good conversation with anyone. It's like I've isolated myself in that small space. Sister, can you hear me?
I … really want to hear you say something again, even if it's to scold me … "
A warm and wet feeling slid down from the corner of my eyes. I leaned my head against the gravestone and tried to use gravity to make my tears flow back. However, this hateful gravity couldn't beat the pressure of the water.
"I haven't cried in a long time …" I wiped my tears. "I'm like a stubborn stone, living in the muddy waters of this city. I only stop when I see a narrow bend in the river. But sister, this bend has been washed away with you …"
I had been suppressing my feelings for too long. The loneliness and grievances in my heart could only be turned into tears here.
I gently caressed the cold gravestone. Living in this world was actually a very cruel thing. It was because we had to keep losing people we loved. No matter how deep our love was, it couldn't withstand the passage of time. In the end, we would be separated forever.
"Bright moonlit night, short pine hill, a thousand miles of solitary grave, no place to speak of desolation." "Night comes and a dream suddenly returns, small window, dressing up, face to face without words, only a thousand lines of tears.
How could someone who hadn't experienced the pain of loss understand the deep longing in these words?
In my dreams, sister didn't know how to dress up. She would always touch my chest with her slender fingers and say with a smile, "You have to work hard. The rest of sister's happiness depends on you!"
At that time, I would always nod and promise, but I never thought about how heavy those promises were.
… …
I wiped my tears and tidied up my clothes. It was time to leave.
However, when I turned around, I saw a familiar figure standing behind me in a daze. I didn't know how long it had been.
"Bing Cha, why are you here …"
Behind me was Bing Cha. She was wearing beige casual clothes, and she looked elegant and elegant.
Bing Cha murmured, "Scholar, she's the one … who made you hurt yourself that day, isn't she?"
I sighed. "Probably."
Bing Cha walked up to me and glanced at the gravestone. "Sister … why did she pass away?"
"She died for love."
"Oh …"
Bing Cha looked like he wanted to ask me something, so I immediately took the initiative and asked, "Bing Cha, why are you here? You haven't answered my question yet?"
Bing Cha stilled for a moment before replying, "I came with Ling Yue and Ling Xue. Today is the anniversary of their mother's death …"
I was surprised. "Oh, I see. Where are they now?"
Bing Cha pointed. "They're over there, but they told me to walk around casually. I think they didn't want to be disturbed."
I nodded. "Continue to walk around, then. I'll go take a look."
"That's not a good idea, is it?
But … "Bing Cha thought for a moment before continuing," If it's you, then go. You're different from me … "
I ignored Bing Cha's hidden meaning and turned around to walk toward the place where Ling Xue's mother was laid to rest.
What was surprising was that the famous Ling Tian's wife was actually buried in such an ordinary place. The shadows of the trees were mottled, and in that small piece of land, the ground was paved with white jade bricks. On the tombstone, there was a picture of a lady, and from the looks of it, she really did look like Ling Xue and Ling Yue.
The two sisters were kneeling on the ground, their long cream-colored dresses dangling on the tiles.
Ling Yue laid out the offerings and sobbed. "Mom, dad said he'd celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with us this year …"
Ling Xue wiped away her tears and said, "Mom, I miss you so much … Did you know that?
My sister and I were so envious when we saw someone else's mom send her off to school … "
Ling Yue said, "Xue'er, don't make mom unhappy. We're fine now, aren't we?"
Then, Ling Yue squeezed out a smile. "Mom, my sister and I have grown up. We can take care of ourselves. We're no longer two ignorant girls …"
Ling Yue couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She smiled and said, "We'll be strong. No matter what difficulties we face, we won't be weak. Mom, do you hear me?
Yue'er and Xue'er have grown up … "
Ling Yue, who was usually strong, was crying uncontrollably. Ling Xue listened to her sister and couldn't stop crying.
I sighed inwardly. What did the two princesses of the Blue Star Corporation bring?
Who was happy?
Who was happy?
Actually, it wasn't what it seemed …
"Hey, kid!
You're standing in front of my dad's grave! "a man suddenly said to me.
I hurriedly apologized, but this also caused Ling Xue and Ling Yue to notice my arrival. The two girls looked at me at the same time, their beautiful faces full of surprise.
"Dummy, why are you here?" Ling Xue asked in surprise.
I explained awkwardly, "That … I'm here today to visit a friend who passed away …"
Ling Yue looked at me and didn't say anything.
I walked up and said, "Sorry, I disturbed you …"
Ling Xue wiped her tears and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Come and see my mom?"
Then, Ling Xue reached out and pulled me. I didn't know what to do and knelt down.
Seeing my sorry appearance, Ling Xue couldn't help but laugh. "Are you nervous?"
"Of course …"
Ling Yue said seriously to the gravestone, "Mom, do you see?
Hehe, this person is the most outstanding person in our Xue Yue Studio. He is one of the top experts in China, and he is the one who helped me and my sister build our businesses. Without him, Xue 'er and I wouldn't have been able to do what we did on our own … "
I said, "You're too humble, Ling Yue …"
"Be serious …" Ling Yue glanced at me and said with a smile, "Mom, this guy has a good relationship with our Xue 'er. Do you have anything to ask him?"
I was so nervous that if someone really asked me something, I would go into shock.
Luckily, there was only the cawing of crows.
Ling Xue wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Dummy, you are a core member of Snow Moon, and my sister and I have never treated you as an outsider. Don't you want to say something to mom?"
I immediately realized that my chance to confess had come...
So, I straightened my clothes and said seriously, "Hello, auntie!"
Why is this opening a bit strange …
Ling Yue and Ling Xue looked at me with their beautiful eyes, so I continued, "A few months ago, I met Ling Xue downstairs. Hehe, she was drunk, so I brought her home. But don't worry, nothing happened … Actually, Ling Xue is very beautiful, more beautiful than all the girls I've seen before combined …"
On the side, Ling Xue immediately blushed and said angrily, "Get to the point, what's the use of flattery!"
I couldn't help but smile and said seriously, "I was originally a poor boy, and it was rare for Ling Yue and Ling Xue to think so highly of me and bring me into Xue Yue Studio. From that day on, I decided not to live my life like this. I will do my best to protect the name of Snow Moon, and I will do my best to protect Ling Xue and Ling Yue … Unless one day they don't need me anymore, like they have a boyfriend and find me an eyesore …"
Ling Yue immediately blushed and punched me on the left and right almost at the same time as Ling Xue. Of course, it didn't hurt at all.
I said with a smile, "Auntie, you see?
I will abide by everything I said today, unless they beat me up until I'm crippled one day … "
Ling Xue said, "Be serious, be serious, don't let mom think that you are not a proper person ~ ~"
I immediately put on a righteous expression.
Ling Yue looked at me in a daze and smiled meaningfully, "Shusheng, I will always remember what you said just now!"
I nodded, "En …"
After that, I pulled the two beauties into my arms and said to the tombstone, "Ling Xue, Ling Yue, come, smile for auntie to see. Tell her that from now on, you will live happily and will never cry again, okay?"
My actions were a bit abrupt, but there was no doubt that the two girls felt that I could rely on them. Ling Yue looked a bit nervous, but she quickly calmed down and smiled at the tombstone. She said, "Mom, we'll live happily ever after. Really, we'll make the name of Xue Yue known all over the world. We'll prove to dad that my sister and I can also do amazing feats!"
Ling Xue smiled faintly. "Mom, big sister finally smiled. Haha, as long as big sister is happy, Xue 'er will be very happy …"
I sighed. These two sisters' relationship was really good...
Hugging two girls in my arms was a wonderful thing that even the gods would envy, but I let go after a few seconds. Otherwise, the two girls might go berserk again. It wasn't something to be proud of to be beaten up in front of their mothers.
At this time, Bing Cha walked over from afar. Ling Yue said, "We should go back, mom. We will see you in a few days ~ ~"
Then, they packed their things and left their mother's resting place reluctantly. Both of their eyes were red and swollen.
But sorrow could be remembered, life had to continue.
