Chapter 2640 Everyone Thought It Was an Illusion
Mr. Li put away the memories on his face and calmed down. The photo under his fingertips was very close at hand. The girl in the photo was smiling as brightly as ever.
For sixty years, she has been lying here quietly, her eyes as bright as stars have never faded.
"You should be tired of seeing me. You probably don't want to see me anymore, let alone me who have become like this. During this period, I often dream about you. You should be reminding me of you." Your birthday is coming soon. Fortunately, I did not miss your birthday. I promised you that I would spend every birthday with you. I have broken so many promises to you. Fortunately, I did not break my promise on this one. When I go to your place, how will I see you again..."
There was a rare smile on his cold and strong face, and his lips were slightly raised. Chi Enen seemed to see a handsome man standing in front of the tombstone through time through his old face.
"You like spring so much. It should be like spring all year round there and there will be no more rainy days that you hate. Do you still like white roses so much, or do you have a favorite flower again?"
"If you have a new favorite flower, remember to tell me in your dream. If I can come here again next year, I will definitely bring it to you."
Mr. Li's palm touched the tombstone, and his eyes when looking at the photo on the tombstone were as gentle as looking at his beloved, "Hey, I often wonder if the worst thing I have done in my life is... I didn't reject you at the beginning. I knew clearly that we couldn't be together, but I still indulged my selfishness and allowed you to sneak close to me. It was because of my own selfishness that I finally caused you to leave this world early. Were you also very disappointed with me before you left? Maybe... If you weren't very disappointed, you wouldn't have chosen to leave me in that way. I always wonder if I had rejected you from the beginning. The bouquet of flowers you gave me, will your life become more brilliant without me..."
Chi Enen didn't know why she felt a heavy and uncomfortable feeling in her heart when she heard his old murmur. Especially when she saw the always strong old man showing his extremely fragile expression, she felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't want to disturb the old man's murmuring chat, so she silently moved the umbrella closer to prevent the raindrops from falling from the sky...
Mr. Li stayed in the cemetery for an hour before turning around and leaving.
Before leaving, I didn’t forget to take away the 11 white roses that were almost withered in front of the tombstone.
When Chi Enen saw those roses, he knew that he must have arranged for someone to send fresh white roses every day.
Because today is the day he comes here once a year, the person responsible for sending roses did not come, and only the bunch of flowers that were about to wither in front of the tombstone.
"Let's go." Mr. Li took one last look at the tombstone, turned his head and said to Chi Enen.
"Yes." Chi Enen held an umbrella and supported him with one hand, reminding him softly, "Grandpa, be careful of the steps."
Mr. Li took the bouquet of flowers that were no longer bright and left the cemetery step by step.
He walked steadily and didn't look back. It was impossible to tell that he had shown such a sad expression in front of the tombstone before. If Chi Enen hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought it was just an illusion.
