IACF [QT] Chapter 25.3

Grandma Qu said a lot and staggered a little when she got up. Su Yi stepped forward to support her.

She held Su Yi’s hand tightly and finally said: “I’m leaving now. I’ll come to see you later. Take good care of yourself over there.”

Su Yi saw tears in her eyes and couldn’t help but look at the tombstone again.

As far as she knew, the person inside had been dead for more than 30 years, and he and Grandma Qu had only been husband and wife for a few years.

How could a few years of relationship still make people miss each other for so long after the other party was no longer around?

They stayed in the small fishing village for another night and then returned to City S.

New Year’s Eve was just two days away, and the two old people of the Xiao family returned to the mansion, where the family had a reunion dinner in a lively atmosphere.

After dinner, Su Yi took out her mobile phone and sent blessing text messages to people.

She typed word by word, and just after sending it to Zhang Jiajia, she was about to send the next one, and the other party called.

“Su Yi?” Zhang Jiajia’s tone was uncertain.

Su Yi walked to the balcony and said, “It’s me.”

“It’s really you! I thought someone was pretending to be you. You old antique finally use a mobile phone? I really can’t understand how people can live without mobile phones these days. Just for this reason, Su Yi, you are my idol.”

Su Yi smiled and said, “My brother gave it to me.”

Zhang Jiajia rolled her eyes, “I know you have a brother, but don’t show off to me. Hey, what’s wrong with God? Why did he give you all the good things? Did he forget to send them to me and miss out on my brothers and sisters?”

“You have to ask your parents.” Su Yi joked.

“It’s too late to ask now,” Zhang Jiajia muttered.

“What did you do during the winter vacation? Do you have any plans for the rest of the vacation?”

Su Yi looked at the colorful lights outside and said, “I went back to my hometown a few days ago, and there should be nothing to do after that.”

“Aren’t you going to go out and play? My family is going abroad for a few days and we’re leaving tomorrow.”

“Is it fun?” Su Yi became a little interested.

Zhang Jiajia said, “I don’t know. It’s an island. My parents chose the place. They wanted to relive their honeymoon, and I just came along.”

Seeing her pitiful words, Su Yi smiled, “Have you contacted Fang Yingying?”

“No, she just sent me a message, which was obviously sent to a group of people, and I haven’t replied yet. I heard that she also wants to go out and play, otherwise, the New Year will be too boring.”

The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

When Su Yi heard Zhang Jiajia say they were going out to play tomorrow, she remembered her plan to travel around the world. It was time to start planning.

She turned around and leaned against the balcony to look into the house.

Three old people were sitting together watching the Spring Festival Gala. The golden retriever was lying at the feet of Grandma Qu. Su Wanting and Xiao Xing were sitting somewhere else, talking about something and sitting very close to each other.

This family was stable and happy. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Su Yi looked at them and the corners of her mouth curved up.

Xiao Yan appeared beside her at some point.

Su Yi looked at him and said, “I asked you about your New Year’s gift before, but you didn’t tell me. So, I wish you good health and everything goes well.”

After hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at her for a while, as if he wanted to see something from her face.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yi was puzzled.

Xiao Yan shook his head, “Nothing.”

Su Yi looked up at the sky again, trying to find one or two stars.

Xiao Yan also looked up to her. In the night sky with serious light pollution, she couldn’t see anything, but she looked at it very seriously every time, as if that was the place she longed for.

“What is your New Year’s wish?” Xiao Yan asked suddenly.

Su Yi turned around and asked, “Do you also have a wish for the New Year?”

“As long as you want it, you can have it.”

Su Yi tried to think about it, her brows relaxed, and said, “Then, let’s take my biggest wish as a New Year’s wish.”

“Travel around the world?” Xiao Yan asked.

“Yes.” Su Yi nodded.

“I’m not kidding. This is what I’m going to do in the future.”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

He knew that she wasn’t joking. From the first time they met, when she sat on the window sill, looking at the sea and the sky, he felt that her slender body seemed to float away with the wind.

He remembered a line from “The Shawshank Redemption”: ‘There is a kind of bird that cannot be caged because every feather of it exudes the brilliance of freedom.’.

Similarly, some people couldn’t be kept, as they wouldn’t stop pursuing.

The only way is to turn yourself into a big tree, so that the birds can rest on the branches in the gap between spreading their wings, so that those people can see the most striking thing about him when they look back.
