Love Never Ends

Qin Lan's expression changed slightly. When her gaze landed on Zhixin's face, she still felt a little guilty. She quickly averted her eyes, not daring to even glance at her mother.    

    

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.    

    

Xi Shenyuan naturally understood why. In Qin Lan's eyes, he was probably the main culprit behind the death of her daughter.    

    

"Mom, I accidentally bumped into him. He just sent me back …"    

    

Zhixin still explained.    

    

"Yes, you should go take a shower while there is still hot water!" Qin Lan, on the other hand, didn't say anything.    

    

"Alright."    

    

Zhixin nodded hurriedly. Only then did she realize that she couldn't blow-dry her hair without electricity. She rushed to Xi Shenyuan and said, "I'll go get a dry towel for you first."    

    

"Okay, thank you."    

    

Xi Shenyuan nodded in thanks.    

    

"Mom, where's the warmth?"    

    

Zhixin asked Qin Lan as they walked into the room.    

    

"He's asleep, he's sleeping. It's too cold. I let him climb out of bed first."    

    

"Mm, alright."    

    

Zhixin entered her room, leaving only Qin Lan and Xi Shenyuan in the hall.    

    

"Have a cup of hot tea!"    

    

Qin Lan said, groping her way to the kitchen to pour some tea.    

    

"Aunt Qin, don't trouble yourself. You can't even see her!" Be careful not to fall! "    

    

Xi Shenyuan hurried over to help her up.    

    

Qin Lan poured a cup of hot tea for Xi Shenyuan, "Drink some warm tea first. It's really cold this winter."    

    

"Thank you, Aunt Qin."    

    

Xi Shenyuan was moved and hurriedly took the hot tea from Qin Lan's hands.    

    

Qin Lan sighed. "Profound, to be honest, Ruorou's leaving has a huge impact on a mother like me. There were a few days when I hated you two so much, thinking that if it wasn't for you two, how could my Ruorou have left so quietly!? However, after seeing Zhixin being muddle-headed everyday, he had finally figured it out. I know that if I continue to make such a mistake, my eldest daughter's happiness will also be ruined by a mother like me. "    

    

After sighing, she continued, "Zhixin has been pestered by this guilt. She felt that she had let Ruorou down, so she didn't dare to get too close to you. The dead are big, it might be a little difficult for her to get out."    

    

Xi Shenyuan was confused and annoyed when he heard that.    

    

"Take your time!"    

    

Qin Lan patted his shoulder in encouragement. After saying that, she heaved a sigh of relief.    

    

Xi Shenyuan was slightly surprised. "Thank you, Aunt Qin, for your help."    

    

This result, indeed, made him very surprised.    

    

Qin Lan smiled. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and asked him, "Where's your father?" Have you come out? "    

    

Speaking of his father, Xi Shenyuan's expression turned a bit more serious as he shook his head, "Not yet."    

    

"I don't believe he will corrupt us." Qin Lan firmly believed.    

    

Xi Shenyuan stared at Qin Lan in the darkness. Her aged eyes were bright in the dark, "Aunt Qin really knows my father, right?"    

    

"Since things have come to this, you won't believe me even if you say that you don't know him?"    

    

Qin Lan smiled, a tinge of sadness in her eyes as she sighed. "You really look like your father when he was young. I wonder what he's like now. I haven't seen him in so many years. He must be old …"    

    

As Qin Lan spoke, her bright eyes were tainted by a glimmer of water.    

    

"Aunt Qin …"    

    

Seeing Qin Lan's sad mood, Xi Shenyuan wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.    

    

"Actually, your dad and I were childhood friends. We grew up together in primary school, middle school, high school … We fell in love when we were in high school, and then we went to college together... "    

    

Qin Lan's gaze gradually grew deeper as her thoughts drifted further and further away bit by bit. Her face was brimming with the smile of her youth, but there were still tears in her eyes, "At that time, we had always thought that we would be together, that we would get married, have children, hold hands and eventually grow old, but later on … He met your mother, and I, in the end, met Zhixin's father. We both formed our own families, and in the end, we still didn't have the chance to live our lives together … "    

    

Qin Lan choked with sobs as she finished her sentence.    

    

Zhixin held a dry towel and stood in the darkness not far from them, quietly listening to the regretful feelings between his mother and his father …    

    

"Aunt Qin, I always thought … You only met my father after my parents were married … "    

    

This result surprised Xi Shenyuan.    

    

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past anymore."
