Chapter 302 I Have Already Explored the Road Ahead
Xie Yanchuan personally arranged Xu Jinzhi's funeral. According to Xu Jinzhi's request, she was buried next to her father.
This was also the first time in Xie Yanchuan's life that he sent flowers to Xu Jinzhi. Because of his pollen allergy, he had never sent flowers to Xu Jinzhi in his life.
In fact, I can give it as a gift, but I feel that since I am giving it to you, it is because I want to make Xu Jinzhi happy. However, Xu Jinzhi will definitely not be happy when he sees that I am allergic.
He was unwilling to do anything that he knew would make Xu Jinzhi unhappy, so he never sent flowers to Xu Jinzhi in these years.
But in the end, he still gave Xu Jinzhi a bouquet of flowers.
Xie Yanchuan didn't feel much pain during the whole process. He even felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, she passed away in the autumn and was not tortured by the cold winter.
Fortunately, she walked ahead of him. He had already let Xu Jinzhi experience the pain of losing himself once, and fortunately he did not let her experience the pain of losing herself again.
After the funeral, Xie Yanchuan did not stay in City A for long, but went to the small village where they once lived together day and night and continued to live there.
Although Xu Jinzhi is no longer around, Xie Yanchuan's life seems to be the same as when Xu Jinzhi was still around.
The chair that Xu Jinzhi liked was still there. When he tidied the vegetable garden every day, he would see the chair as soon as he looked up. In a trance, he seemed to see Xu Jinzhi still basking in the sun on the chair.
There is an orchard in the village. When Xie Yanchuan passed by, he couldn't help but hear Xu Jinzhi's voice in his ears, "Xie Yanchuan, the oranges are almost ripe. We can come over and pick them then."
There were also a few people at the entrance of the village who always liked to gather together and gossip, and Xu Jinzhi was unwilling to join in.
She felt that those people were too gossipy and could say all sorts of nonsense, and sometimes they were just talking nonsense.
But every time she saw it, Xu Jinzhi would whisper gossip about them to her, and she would specifically tell her that what she said was true.
Whenever he sees them again, Xie Yanchuan still thinks of what Xu Jinzhi told him.
There is also the cat in the village who likes to stick to Xu Jinzhi, and the little kids who like to come over and play games with Xu Jinzhi...
There are many more. Xie Yanchuan can always find Xu Jinzhi's presence in various places.
It was as if Xu Jinzhi had never left her.
In this way, Xie Yanchuan spent three springs, summers, autumns and winters there alone.
In the fourth year, Xie Yanchuan began to have some health problems, and the younger generations who were far away in City A rushed over.
They did not persuade Xie Yanchuan to go back because they all knew that there were memories of Xu Jinzhi here.
But after two months, seeing the younger generations often rushing in and out just to take a look at his condition, Xie Yanchuan chose to return to City A in order not to make them worry.
Xie Yanchuan returned to his and Xu Jinzhi's former home, where he also had many memories with Xu Jinzhi.
For some reason, since he fell ill, Xie Yanchuan always dreamed of Xu Jinzhi. Before he fell ill, Xu Jinzhi rarely appeared in his dreams.
And now, what I dream about is the young Xu Jinzhi. She is so vivid.
After waking up, Xie Yanchuan would talk to himself naturally, as if Xu Jinzhi was right beside him.
I don’t know whether he missed Xu Jinzhi or Xu Jinzhi missed him, but whether he missed Xu Jinzhi or Xu Jinzhi missed him, it didn’t matter.
Xie Yanchuan said gently to the void: "We will be able to meet soon."
At this time, Xie Zhihuai and Xu Yanxi were no longer young. Apart from Xie Yanchuan, no one would call them "Tuan Tuan, Sui Sui" anymore.
But in front of Xie Yanchuan, they will always be children.
Xie Yanchuan was accompanied by these two siblings during his last time. Whenever Xie Yanchuan had the strength, he would tell them about the past.
Tuan Tuan and Sui Sui still remember some things, and some things they can't remember clearly, but just by listening, Tuan Tuan and Sui Sui's eyes already showed nostalgia. They are lucky children, they can come to this happy family and have such a happy life.
Xie Yanchuan has already arranged everything regarding his death, and he is now waiting for death to come.
Everyone knew that Xie Yanchuan was not afraid of death at all. He was even looking forward to it because this way he could see the person he loved the most.
I have lived a good life these years only because of the promise I made.
He just didn't want to break his promise to that person.
Xie Yanchuan was in good spirits on the day he was leaving. Accompanied by Tuantuan, he dressed himself up nicely, looking a little too formal.
Tuan Tuan watched from the side and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. Even if one has experienced a lot and understood a lot, people will still be sad when they are separated.
Xie Yanchuan comforted him, "Tuan Tuan, don't be afraid."
Tuan Tuan nodded, "I'm not afraid."
He was not afraid, he just couldn't bear to do it.
Xie Yanchuan didn't say anything else. He just looked at himself in the mirror and continued to tidy up. He said, "Jinzhi will probably like it."
"Of course." Tuantuan said with certainty.
Xie Yanchuan packed up and went to the restaurant, where the whole family sat together to have lunch.
Before Xie Yanchuan appeared, everyone looked a little serious, but after Xie Yanchuan appeared, everyone began to act relaxed again.
All in all, the meal was finished happily.
After dinner, Xie Yanchuan said he was tired, so Tuan Tuan and Sui Sui helped Xie Yanchuan back to the bedroom.
It was still the bedroom that Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan had lived in back then. Xie Yanchuan didn't take off his clothes and just lay down.
No one said it was inappropriate for him to do so, because they all knew that this was the last time.
"Tuantuan, Suisui, take care of yourselves. I'm leaving." Xie Yanchuan whispered.
Tuan Tuan and Sui Sui both nodded, their eyes moist.
Xie Yanchuan finally smiled at them and then slowly closed his eyes.
Just when he was in a trance, Xie Yanchuan heard a familiar voice, calling out crisply, "Xie Yanchuan."
Xie Yanchuan turned around and saw the familiar person at a glance. Xie Yanchuan couldn't help but smile, "Jinzhi."
"Long time no see." Xu Jinzhi said with a smile.
Xie Yanchuan also said: "Long time no see."
Xu Jinzhi walked towards Xie Yanchuan while speaking, and then took Xie Yanchuan's hand, "I have already explored the road in advance, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"I'm not afraid." How could he be afraid when Xu Jinzhi was around?
"Then let's go." Xu Jinzhi said again.
"Okay." Xie Yanchuan agreed without hesitation, and then walked forward with Xu Jinzhi.
My dears, I am begging for recommendations, monthly tickets, collections and rewards!
