Mist System: Legend of Stars and Moon

Early in the morning, Ye Shurou was heading towards Chen Juan's house. A gust of wind blew past her. She stopped, tidied her hair that was messed up by the wind, and then continued on her way.

She remembered discussing the wind with Xun Diexin.

The wind preserves memories.

Ye Shurou knocked on the door and Chen Juan opened it.

Chen Juan asked enthusiastically, "Shu Rou, you're here. School is about to start soon, right?"

"Ah."

"You came at the right time today. I may have to leave for a while after you start school. My son and his family have a child and they are busy with work. My son asked me to take care of the child. Although they have hired a nanny, they still want me to go over. I want to go and see."

"Wow! Little baby."

"Yes! Shurou, do you want to see it? They sent me the photos."

"Ah."

Chen Juan was looking through the photo album while Ye Shurou was waiting beside her.

"Shu Rou, look, there's a girl as lovely as you."

"What a cute little baby, with big watery eyes, a bald head, and a smile like an angel."

"Yes! A beautiful little angel like Shurou."

"Aunt Chen Juan, thank you for taking care of me over the years." Ye Shurou felt a little disappointed.

"Shu Rou, don't be so polite. I've been grateful for your company for all these years. There was a time when we couldn't meet, but I still had some way to go." Chen Juan smoothed Ye Shu Rou's hair like a kind mother.

"Aunt Chen Juan, if you can get used to living in the city, then stay! Because I also want to go to the city, and the school has been arranged. It may take a few years for me to come back."

"is it?"

Chen Juan calmed down and looked up, "Where is it?"

"Long time off."

"I'm so sorry, Shurou, they are in another city."

"It doesn't matter. I will study hard in the city."

Chen Juan expressed her worries: "Actually I don't want you to go, because you have to take the college entrance examination. Why would you choose to go at this time?"

"I'm going to study at that school and take the art exam."

"which school?"

“Art School.”

Chen Juan was even more worried: "Your grades are pretty good, aren't you going to take the college entrance examination?"

"Painting is my dream. If I have the opportunity to pursue my dream, I still want to go."

"Will your relatives take you there?" Chen Juan guessed.

"Well, Aunt Chen Juan, how did you know?"

"I guess, is it the one on the mother's side or the father's side?"

"From my mother's side, my uncle in the city." Ye Shurou replied.

"What does he do in the city?"

"teacher."

"Do you have a wife? She's your aunt." Chen Juan continued to ask.

"No."

Chen Juan held Ye Shurou's hand and said, "Shurou, I am worried about you, because although your uncle is a relative, he is also a man."

"Aunt Chen Juan, I will contact my brother then and he will come to see me. You don't have to worry about me. Besides, that place is very close to Die Xin's home." Ye Shurou dispelled Chen Juan's concerns.

Chen Juan rubbed the back of Ye Shurou's thin and soft hand and said, "You have your brother, but you also have to pay attention to safety. So will your contact information change? After all, when you go to the city, your parents should prepare another mobile phone for you!"

Ye Shurou said: "Aunt Chen Juan, that uncle told me to buy it for me when I get to the city. I have written down your contact information on a piece of paper. If I change my contact information, I will call you."

Aunt Chen Juan continued to rub the back of Shurou's hand: "Okay, then are you sure you don't want to take the college entrance examination?"

"I won't participate. This opportunity to study in the city was also fought for by my parents. Although their ideas are sometimes different from mine, I can see that they are really doing this for my own good, so I decided to take the art exam."

Chen Juan patted Shurou's hand and said, "Well, I respect Shurou too. If you can't adapt to the city, you can hide here. I have a lot of savings here, and we can live together in the future."

Ye Shurou hugged Chen Juan and said, "Aunt Chen Juan, thank you, you are so kind. I will come back to repay you in the future."

"What's the point of repaying or not repaying? Auntie, I just hope you can be happy in the future."

Ye Shurou wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I'm actually a little reluctant."

"Just adapt to it. If you find out that your uncle has bad intentions, call me and I can help you."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Ye Shurou looked at Xia Tiao's nest: "Aunt Chen Juan, where is Xia Tiao? We are all going to the city. Should we take Xia Tiao to his grandparents?"

Chen Juan sighed. She didn't seem to want to tell Ye Shurou the news, but Shurou also had the right to know.

“In fact, the shrimp crackers haven’t been back for a long time.”

Ye Shurou knew what this news meant.

"How long did it take her to buy it back?"

"It's been a week!"

Ye Shurou began to recall: "Last week, was it the day Die Xin and I left?"

Ye Shurou's tone was firm.

"Correct."

"Don't worry, Auntie. We'll put the food in her den and she'll appear when we come back."

Chen Juan said kindly, "Well, Shurou, actually after Xia Tiao didn't come back, Xiao Hei often came to see me. Let's just assume that Xia Tiao's ending was the worst!"

Ye Shurou couldn't stop crying.

Chen Juan knew this day would come.

"Shu Rou, I've been waiting for you to come over. I've been thinking about whether to tell you this, but in the end I still chose to tell you. After all, we believe that life and death are the biggest things in a person's life, and cats and dogs are the same. In fact, they are all the ups and downs of life. We are spiritual people, and we have to say goodbye to those lives that accompany us."

Ye Shurou wiped away her tears: "But we don't know where the shrimp chips are."

"I don't know either. I can't find her no matter what." Chen Juan lay on the table: "She may have accidentally fallen asleep in a quiet place, so she didn't come back. Xiao Hei didn't tell us, but it doesn't matter. Let's build a small tombstone for her on the mountain!"

"Ah."

"You sit here and wait for me for a while."

"Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

Chen Juan went into the house and to the corner where the basket was placed. She picked up the basket weakly. She thought that Xia Tiao liked to sleep in the small basket and play with the hanging ball of wool.

"I've prepared everything we need, let's go up now!"

Ye Shurou saw Chen Juan coming out and stood up and said, "Yeah."

They reached the top of the mountain. It was a hot summer day and even the air had some shape to it.

Chen Juan buried the small basket under a tree, and Ye Shurou went to pick flowers and piled them under the tree.

Ye Shurou asked, "Aunt Chen Juan, does the shrimp cracker hurt?"

Chen Juan said: "It doesn't hurt. When a life dies naturally, it doesn't hurt."

Ye Shurou said, "Then I will bring Die Xin to see the shrimp crackers next summer."

"Well, it would be better if Die Xin didn't go back so early."
