Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

If you could foresee your death, would you live every day to the fullest? Because you know exactly when you will die, you don’t want to miss any opportunity or time.

Zhou Leng had been planning to leave since she was fifty-five years old. After all, she had family and relatives in this life. She couldn't wander around with her luggage and couldn't be herself at will. Such a restricted life made her uncomfortable, so after Liu Tingyan returned from studying abroad and embarked on the path of scientific research, she began to secretly and slowly dissipate her cultivation.

The feeling of losing your power is painful, not physical pain, but mental suffering.

When Zhou Leng was fifty-eight years old, she seemed to have aged suddenly. Liu Tingfang, who had been married for many years, took advantage of the National Day holiday to bring her children back to visit her mother. She looked at her mother with fine lines on her face and said sadly:

"Mom, how come you've aged so fast in this year? If you have anything on your mind, you must tell me. You seemed to be frozen in time before, how come you've aged so fast in recent years? I want to move back home with you."

Zhou Leng comforted her and said:

"If people don't age, they won't become old monsters. I am aging normally. Don't worry. Your father and I live a comfortable life. Your brother always comes to spend time with us when he has time off. He doesn't feel lonely."

Although Liu Tingfang knew that people would naturally age, she still felt sad. She changed the subject and said:

"Don't you have a break during the National Day? Why is my brother so busy now? He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to find a sister-in-law for me."

Before Zhou Leng could speak, Liu Wuqing heard that his daughter had the same stance as him, and he said energetically:

"Fangfang, you and dad have the same idea, right? When dad was your brother's age, he was already the father of two children. Your brother insisted on finding someone who could share the good and bad times with him. Who nowadays would test whether their partner can share the good and bad times with them? Your brother's requirements are so weird. I can understand that they want to have similar interests and be in love, but he also has a series of requirements such as being well-educated, sharing the good and bad times with him, being free and easy, and being knowledgeable. Who is as picky as he is when looking for a girlfriend? If they were like this, the human race would become extinct..."

Zhou Leng listened to Liu Wuqing's nagging again, and she said to Wei Qiu who was holding the child and smiling:

"Xiao Wei, go upstairs with Master. I have also studied a few cases recently. You can discuss them with me."

"Okay, I just happen to have some questions that I would like to ask Master."

After Wei Qiu finished speaking, he gave his wife a helpless look, then picked up the child and decisively followed his master upstairs, away from his father-in-law's chattering.

In Wei Qiu's childhood memory, his father-in-law had always been a man of few words, and most of the time he worked silently like his father. But he didn't know when it started, it seemed to be after he and Tingfang got married, every time they talked on the phone, he could hear his father-in-law giving Tingfang various instructions.

Sometimes Wei Qiu was very emotional. They had also experienced such a dark past. Because of the existence of the master, he and his father-in-law quickly got out of the quagmire after returning to the city and enjoyed a new life. Only his father could never return to his former high spirits. After all, some people in this world are born lucky, such as his father-in-law and himself.

It's noon.

Liu Tingyan returned home. He was now at a higher level and was followed by two people to protect him. The nanny at home had already prepared a sumptuous lunch and was waiting for him to eat.

The brother and sister who hadn't seen each other for half a year hugged each other excitedly, and the family began to eat lively.

In the study in the afternoon.

Zhou Leng and Liu Wuqing sat in the host seats, while Liu Tingyan sat in the guest seat with his head lowered, feeling guilty.

Liu Tingfang and his wife sat in the corner watching the show.

Zhou Leng glanced at the old man who was ready to take action, and suddenly slammed the table hard.

Bang.

Everyone, including Liu Wuqing, was shocked.

Zhou Leng roared angrily:

"Liu Tingyan, you are right or wrong. You are so old and still make your parents worry. Can you solve your personal problems by yourself? Look at how worried your father is. He can't wait to marry a young wife. Look at how quick your sister is."

Liu Tingyan understood and bowed his head to admit his mistake, then he said excitedly:

"Our experiment is at a critical moment. I think we should put the country first at this time. Only by sacrificing our own family can we take care of everyone. Society and the country are making rapid progress, but progress requires advanced technology and the real economy. If everyone only cares about their own lives, how can the country progress? My father is definitely the most conscious. Mom, why haven't you been influenced by him at all?"

Zhou Leng seemed to be a little angry as she stood up. She yelled again, "You are rebelling. I will punish you according to the family rules. Come with me. If I don't beat you today, you won't be able to get out of bed for a few days. I am not your real mother."

"I'm already so old, and you still want to hit me? Humph, beat me to death."

The mother and son quickly left the study.

Zhou Leng grabbed his cheap son's clothes and walked quickly, and the two of them ran to the training room on the second floor.

Liu Wuqing sat on a chair and pointed at the backs of the mother and son as they left. He opened and closed his mouth and said:

"Do they think I'm a fool? This is outrageous. Your brother has been so naughty for so many years, and it's all because of your mother's indulgence. They are even putting on a show in front of me. They are really going too far. Tingfang, look at this..."

Liu Tingfang and her family looked at each other, then resigned themselves to their fate and turned to look at Liu Wuqing who was chattering nonstop. Fangfang said, "I didn't provoke any of you!"

Inside the practice room.

Liu Tingyan hugged his mother's neck from behind, put his head on her shoulder and said:

"Actually, I just want to do the experiment quietly. With you two, a perfect match, sharing weal and woe, it's okay for me to have higher standards for choosing a spouse. Dad is really suffering from menopausal syndrome now. We should let my brother-in-law take a good look at him."

Zhou Leng thought: In your last life, you were inspired by your own mother and wanted to find someone to share the good and bad times with. In this life, you look at your parents’ love and never abandon each other and still want to find someone to share the hardships with you. You may really be destined to be single forever. She said perfunctorily:

"Do whatever you want. Your life is your own. Just do what you want without any regrets."

Liu Tingyan rubbed his mother's clothes and said, "Mom, you are so nice."

Zhou Leng patted his hands and said, "How old are you? You are so cheesy. Get out of here now."

The warmth lasted less than two minutes before the two of them returned to their daily chaotic lives.

Liu Tingyan always thought that his mother was in good health, so he had never been prepared for his mother to pass away early. He always thought that there were still many opportunities and time for him to repay her. Unfortunately, he later realized that this was the last time they would be close.

Five months later.

Zhou Leng was looking out the window on the second floor of her house. Today was the day of death she had chosen for herself. She had calculated that this day was an auspicious day, suitable for death.

Zhou Leng sat cross-legged calmly on the chair, cut off his own heart meridians and passed away.

lunch time.

Liu Wuqing looked at the person who had not come downstairs yet, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy. His old woman was always very active in eating, so why didn't she come down to eat so late today?

Liu Wuqing walked upstairs holding the handrail. He opened the door of the practice room and saw the person lying on the rattan chair. He laughed and said:

"You spend your days eating three times a day and falling asleep the next day. This is how you live. Why don't you go downstairs and practice calligraphy with me? Old woman, get up and eat."

"Old woman?"

"Old woman!!!"

Liu Wuqing tried hard to control his shaking hands. He fell to the ground, held his wife's cold hands, and burst into tears. The crying attracted the attention of the nanny, who called the two children and tried to comfort the extremely excited old man.

Day two.

Liu Tingyan and Liu Tingfang and their family flew back home, but unfortunately they didn't see each other for the last time.

Half a month later, when everything was settled, Liu Tingfang and Wei Qiu brought Liu Wuqing to Shanghai to live together, and the house here was left empty. In the future, Wan Xin would only live in their memories.

There is always a period of time in life where we have to walk alone. We must be mentally prepared to face loneliness, overcome loneliness, and enjoy loneliness.
