Chapter 893 A Faint Calm

Chapter 893: A touch of calm

A row of cars stopped in front of the cemetery, the driver got off the car and opened the door courteously, Shi Xiaonian walked down with his head down, holding a few photo frames in his hands, Gong Ou came down from the other side, holding a bouquet of flowers casually, with a blank face. He glanced at the entrance of the cemetery with an expression.

The wind in the cemetery is desolate and solemn.

When Shi Xiaonian walked in, the bodyguard ran in first, kicking aside all the stumbling branches along the way, clearing a path.

"At number 202."

A bodyguard reminded Shi Xiaonian.

"Thanks."

Shi Xiaonian nodded, looked at the number plate next to the tombstone and looked inside, it was easy to find the stele that belonged to Shi Di, the picture of Shi Di on the stele was smiling sweetly and generously, with a pair of big eyes looking straight ahead.

A smile I haven't seen in a long time.

"Xiaodi, I'm here to see you."

Shi Xiaonian looked at Shi Di's photo and smiled slightly, and was about to place the photo frame in front of the monument, but unexpectedly saw a bouquet of flowers placed in front of the tombstone.

The flowers seemed to have been placed for a few days, and the petals were a little withered, and there were traces of being hit by rain.

Shi Xiaonian froze there, "Why are there flowers?"

Gong Ou stood beside her, glanced down, and said indifferently, "If someone comes to worship, there will be flowers."

"But I put Xiaodi's monument here and didn't tell anyone." Shi Xiaonian said in surprise, "It's impossible for someone to come to sweep the grave. Could it be that the wind blows from other monuments?"

Gong Ou glanced at her, slowly bent down, and picked up a square flat stone from the bouquet, "Sorry, your guess is wrong."

In order to prevent the flowers from being blown away, the people who came to worship even pressed a stone, which has already left traces.

"..."

Shi Xiaonian froze there, looking down at the bouquet of flowers, "Who could have been here? Foster father and mother? Qianchu?"

Could it be that they are back?

Did the adoptive father and adoptive mother already know the news of Shi Di's death? Or did Mu Qianchu come back?

"have no idea."

Gong Ou's eyes were a little colder.

Mu Qianchu is back?

Shi Xiaonian frowned, bending over was a bit inconvenient and asked Gong Ou to place the flowers and photo frames in front of the tombstone, she looked at the difference between this monument and other monuments, it was obvious that this monument was recently It has been cleaned by someone, and there is not even a little moss.

Who is the one?

Those relatives of the Shi family are definitely impossible. The news of Shi Di's death has not been made public, and it is impossible for fans to hear the news.

Is it foster parents? It's been a long time since I heard from them, but if they come back, they should live in the old house, but there is no sign of them coming back in the old house.

There may be only one left.

Mu Qianchu.

He is back.

He came back and at least said that he is safe and well now.

When Shi Xiaonian thought about it, she turned her eyes to look at Gong Ou, only to see Gong Ou staring coldly at the tombstone in front of her, her thin lips pursed tightly, and after a while, he raised his hand.

A bodyguard immediately stepped forward, "What orders does Mr. Gong have?"

"Go and find out if Mu Qianchu is back."

Gong Ou said coldly.

"Yes, Mr. Gong."

The bodyguard stepped back.

Shi Xiaonian looked at his stern side face, and couldn't help but said, "Don't check it, it's his freedom whether he comes back or not."

"Why, are you afraid that I will deal with him?"

Gong Ou snorted coldly, his tone was as sour as he wanted.

"If you wanted to deal with him, you would have dealt with it long ago, why wait until now." Shi Xiaonian knew Gong Ou too well, she looked at him sideways, with a hint of teasing, "Are you afraid that he will come to me? "

Gong Ou, who was exposed, gave her a cold look, "Am I such a person without confidence?"

Who is Gong Ou?

What kind of thing is that surnamed Mu that can make him nervous? joke.

Shi Xiaonian smiled, shrugged noncommittally, as if you can tell it yourself, I am too lazy to make excuses for you.

"Shi Xiaonian!"

Gong Ou glared at her.

Shi Xiaonian didn't reply to his words, turned to look at the tombstone in front of him, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Xiaodi, have you been back before Qianchu? Then you must be very happy."

Facing her and a dead man talking to himself, Gong Ou frowned tightly, staring at the bouquet of flowers with lowered eyes, no matter how unpleasant it looked.

"I haven't told my adoptive parents about your news, and I haven't gone to them. I think it would be better if they don't know? At least, they will feel that you have been alive, and they can live a healthy life. "Shi Xiaonian said softly, and then said, "I have gone back to the old house, but there is nothing left, but I can still find the memories of my childhood."

She remembered that when she was young, she grabbed the vine and climbed down the stairs, and Shi Di followed suit and climbed down by holding the vine, and fell a little bit, so she didn't care to cry and asked her to take it to play.

At that time, I was young, too naive, and I didn't understand the favoritism between adults. In fact, the sisters still had such a happy time.

"The old vine is still there, but you can't climb it anymore. If you climb it again, you will fall."

Shi Xiaonian looked at Shi Di's photo and said, Shi Di's sweet smile is the best response to her.

A gust of wind blows, carrying the warmth of the sun.

"Let's go."

Gong Ou said coldly, resisting the urge to kick the bunch of flowers aside.

Shi Xiaonian nodded, wiped the photo on the tombstone with a paper towel, then turned around and followed Gong Ou to leave, reaching out to hold his hand.

A group of people walked out of the cemetery slowly, the wind was bleak.

Walking all the way back, Shi Xiaonian took Gong Ou to the places where he used to hang out, "I used to walk this road after school, and now the road has been repaired. At that time, the road was still paved with stones. , when it rains, it will be full of potholes, and the mud will be stepped on."

"Do you want to walk home by yourself?"

Gong Ou expressed his incomprehension.

"Our family is not a high-ranking Gong family, how could it be possible to enter and exit with luxury cars." Shi Xiaonian said.

The cement road is not wide, and there are tall trees on both sides, covering the sky with luxuriant branches and leaves. The sunlight falls from the gaps in the leaves, and the light is reflected mottledly on the road. From a distance, the whole road looks like a long the tunnel.

Shi Xiaonian walked slowly by the side of the road holding Gong Ou's arm, Gong Ou glanced at her with low eyes, "Then you should come to me earlier, my servants live better than you."

"Look for you earlier, will you treat me well?" Shi Xiaonian asked.

"Why not?" Gong Ou stared at her, with deep black eyes and a very serious expression on his handsome face, "If I'm not good to you, who would I be good to?"

When Shi Xiaonian met his eyes, a little light fell on the tip of his brow, the sexiness was breathtaking.

She stared at him for a long time before she came back to her senses, hugged his arm and continued to walk forward, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

Gong Ou asked.

"I just can't imagine what it would be like if we lived together when we were young." Shi Xiaonian said with a smile, "It must be crazy."

He's so easy to get angry, and her temper was not as calm as it is now when she was a child, and the two of them don't fight every day when they are together?

I'm afraid the roof will be lifted off by them.

"Impossible!" Gong Ou glared at her, "If we had lived together when we were young, you wouldn't have liked the surname Mu at all!"

Where does self-confidence come from.

Shi Xiaonian smiled and said nothing.

"What are you laughing at?" Gong Ou turned her body abruptly, "You want to say that you liked the one with the surname Mu when you were young, right? Why was your taste so bad when you were young? A bumpkin who has never seen the world !"

Another personal attack?

"Knowing President Gong Da, I have never seen the world, it is an eye-opener."

Shi Xiaonian stood in front of Gong Ou and said solemnly.

"Are you praising me?"

Gong Ou frowned.

It doesn't sound like a compliment.

A car passed by quickly behind her, a gust of wind blew, Gong Ou's clothes were raised, and the windbreaker opened an arc to open an embrace for her.

Shi Xiaonian looked down at the hem of his clothes that flew up, pulled him to turn around, and continued to walk forward, "Okay, okay, it's useless to say these things, it's impossible to go back to childhood."

"..."

Gong Ou silently followed her forward, raising his eyes to look into the distance.

It's a long, long road that seems to never end.

"There used to be a canteen over there, but now it's all just a pile of wood." Shi Xiaonian pointed to a place and continued to introduce everything about his childhood to Gong Ou.

"How did you take care of Mu Qianchu?"

Gong Ou's faint voice came from above her head.

"..."

Shi Xiaonian bowed to Gong Ou, how many turns have passed, and he still hasn't forgotten about it.

It's not that she didn't want to say it, but she said that she was afraid that he would make up too much, and then feel jealous and uncomfortable.

All the way back to the old house, Gong Ou was still struggling with this issue with her, Shi Xiaonian didn't want to lie, so she could only falter and tell him what he could accept, but Gong Ou obviously didn't believe it.

She can't help it either.

The two were sitting at the door of the old house basking in the sun and chatting. If the guards outside the door were ignored, they would look like an ordinary retired couple.

When the sun was setting to the west, Shi Xiaonian finally couldn't stand the attack of Gong Ou's question, and said before the sun went down, "I'm going to make dinner."

After finishing speaking, she slipped into the kitchen as if fleeing.

It seems that the journey back to her hometown should end sooner. Gong Ou and she came here with totally different goals. For her, this is a place to grow up. For Gong Ou, this is only one place: the location of her rival ! Where is the rival in love! Where is the rival in love!

Shi Xiaonian shook her head, and started to get busy in front of the kitchen counter. Mr. Gong came in to help, and she said, "Mr. Gong, let's listen to the latest international news."

"Yes, master."

The search of the Mr Palace was very fast, and the electronic tone sounded very quickly, broadcasting to her bit by bit.

In the news, Shi Xiaonian heard a lot of surrounding news about Lancaster. Although it seems to be some business news about the expansion of the family, it is enough to prove that Lancaster has done a lot more.

This family has always kept a low profile in front of others, but recently even she felt that Lancaster was appearing more and more frequently in the eyes of the media, and the slander against Gong Ou never stopped.

Gong Ou can't make a wrong step, otherwise Lancaster will take advantage of it.
