Be gentle

Xiao Zhen said helplessly: "I really can't do anything...then can you see what Xiaoran is thinking?"

Kevin said as a matter of course: "I don't like...it's impossible, right?"

"Why do I feel that you seem to be happy to see it happen?"

As a mother, Xiao Zhen would never want her daughter to go this way, especially in today's China.And Bai Shuyi is still young, God knows what will happen in the future, the possibility of Huaran being injured is too high.

Of course Kevin understood Xiao Zhen's thoughts, how could he dare to say that he supported it, and said as if making sense: "Sophia, our attitudes on this matter are not important, what matters is what the two children think. Let's not talk about it either. Support or disagree, just watch Xiaoran. Be happy for her when she is happy, and share with her when she is sad. Isn’t there an old saying in China? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.”

How could Xiao Zhen not know what he was thinking?He himself grew up as a kid back then, and now he met another Bai Shuyi who was a kid, so he naturally felt the same way.

"Okay, don't tell me this. I'm not really being unreasonable. Why are you worried about them... Besides, this is what you said, and there is no conclusion yet."

Kevin shrugged, "Believe it or not, we can bet."

"I'm not betting with you."

"Then should I call Xiao Baibai?"

"...Let's talk about it later."

Huaran also wants to devote all her energy to the game, but the concentration she was once proud of seems to no longer work this time.In her mind is either the scene of Bai Shuyi hugging Su Yan or the voice of Bai Shuyi saying that he wants to look forward, but the theme of this competition is wedding, Huaran has even thought of Bai Shuyi's appearance of getting married.

For three whole days, she rejected one idea after another, almost wanting to give up.At this moment, she received a call from Hua Chun'er.

Granny Hua passed away.

Although Hua Ran was entangled in trivial matters later, she also went to see Granny Hua a few times.The old man has ups and downs, and several times it seems very dangerous and survived without any danger.In the early hours of yesterday morning, Granny Hua passed away peacefully in her sleep, peacefully going through her precarious and ups and downs life.

Because it was originally the stage of hospice care, Granny Hua's funeral was prepared very early at home, and tomorrow is the day of the funeral.Although Hua Chun'er knew that Huaran was competing, she still called her after thinking about it.

"I will definitely go, my condolences to Grandma Chun."

"Good boy, I'm fine, don't worry too much about it."

Huaran hung up the phone, feeling a little dazed for a while, and sat in the room for a while before realizing that her face was cold.

Granny Hua is her master, also like her grandmother. After learning about Hua Jianguo's obstruction, she subconsciously regards Granny Hua as the last trusted person in Huajia Village. Now, she is gone.

It wasn't a very intense pain, but it was eroding her heart densely.And Bai Shuyi, who used to comfort her every time when she was sad, will no longer be someone she can rely on from now on.

Life and death, Huaran has experienced too much, the pain may be numb, but it is precisely because she has experienced happiness that this kind of sadness is more and more unbearable.

Xiao Zhen didn't expect Granny Hua to pass away at this time, and she didn't recover for a long time when she received the call. Kevin heard the call from the side, and asked with some concern: "Sophia, are you okay?"

Xiao Zhen shook her head, "I'll go to sleep first, the cremation is at five o'clock in the morning, I want to go there early."

"I'll accompany you, and I'll take you there when the time comes."

Xiao Zhen seemed to want to refuse, but Kevin said first: "Be obedient, don't drive if you are not in good condition."

He has experienced Xiao Zhen's car accident, and every time he thinks of her injured appearance and painful recovery, he still has lingering fears in his heart.

Xiao Zhen no longer refused, "Thank you, Alice."

The name he hadn't heard for many years made Kevin feel a little shy, and even smiled shyly, "Don't thank me, go to sleep, I'll call you when the time comes."

For Xiao Zhen, attending this funeral means not only losing her respected elders, but also facing her past self.

Since Granny Hua didn't specifically ask her to send her ashes back to Huajia Village, Hua Chun'er directly bought a cemetery for her on the outskirts of H City.The funeral procession was very simple. Apart from Hua Chun'er, the family members of her two older brothers and some friends, Xiao Zhen, Hua Ran and the Hua Jianguo family who came here specially came here.

Hua Teng was also called by Hua Jianguo because he worked in H City.

It was only 3 o'clock in the morning when Kevin drove Xiao Zhen to the crematorium. He was worried that Xiao Zhen would be alone, so he had the cheek to accompany her to see Hua Chun'er's family. Know when it's coming.

The scene where the three of them met was a bit embarrassing. Although Kevin wanted to get Hanaran's approval sooner or later, he never expected a showdown in such an unexpected situation.

"Xiaoran, Sophia is not feeling well, so I sent her here."

He wanted to explain, but as soon as he said it, he knew he was wrong.At this time, he shouldn't explain his relationship with Xiao Zhen, but should be surprised why Huaran is here.

Huaran really realized something, looked back and forth at the two of them, but finally said: "When you come, put a stick of incense on Granny Hua."

After she answered the phone, she couldn't sit still alone, so she asked the program team for leave, and wanted to come over and help.But it was still early. Not many mourners arrived, almost all of them were family members. She was in a daze most of the time.

When she saw Xiao Zhen came in with Kevin, she hadn't fully reacted yet, but when Kevin said that, she immediately understood that the relationship between the two was more than just colleagues, and Kevin knew from the beginning that he was Xiao Zhen's daughter.

But there is nothing to be angry about, no matter who it is, Kevin's kindness and appreciation for her is real.As for Xiao Zhen, what position does she have to blame her?What's more, at such a sad moment, she really doesn't want to dwell on the past that she has decided to let go.

Xiao Zhen seemed to be stunned for a moment, and took the incense stick mechanically, and it seemed as if she woke up when Kevin pushed her.

"Xiaoran, I'm so sorry."

"I know, and so do you."

The faces of the mother and daughter are not very good, and they seem to be more sad than the family members.

In the mourning hall, apart from the people invited to chant, only Hua Chun'er's son and daughter-in-law were present. Hua Chun'er was getting old and had to rest at this point. His grandson might not be able to come back in time during a business trip, and the others did not come so early.

When Hua Chun'er's son saw Xiao Zhen coming, he refused to let Huaran help, and asked her to go to rest first.

It's hard for Kevin to leave now, so he just stays with the two of them.The three of them sat silently on the bench outside the mourning hall, without speaking for a long time.

"Xiao Ran, how are you doing recently?"

Xiao Zhen seldom saw her daughter, and finally mustered up the courage to talk to her.Although the last meeting was not a happy breakup, the other party's attitude of not wanting to have anything to do with her was too obvious, and now it broke the relationship between her and Kevin, causing the atmosphere to be a bit awkward.

"Don't you know all about it?"

Huaran actually didn't know how she should react, after all, she had already agreed that the two of them would have nothing to do with each other.When she realized that there might be Xiao Zhen's reasons for Kevin's support and help in this way, she thought she would be angry.Then I found that I seemed to have vaguely realized something very early, but I just didn't want to think about it.

There is really nothing to be angry about. Now that the past is clear, she can't speak ill of others now.

It's just that there are inevitably some emotions in the words, which come from the resentment that was kept in the dark.

Kevin knew Xiao Zhen best, but he was afraid that she would not be able to express himself, so he said first: "Sophia doesn't want to interfere with you, she's just worried..."

Xiao Zhen pressed his hand to prevent him from speaking, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I just want to know about your situation."

"...I know, I didn't mean to blame you." Huaran is neither a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, nor is she a radical person, and what is left in the end is just some unsatisfactory feelings.

Even this level of understanding is already a great redemption for Xiao Zhen.She personally felt Huaran's overly gentle temperament. In addition to being moved as a forgiven person, she also had worries as a mother.

Really... so kind, so different from her.But such people are the most vulnerable, and they would rather suffer by themselves than bother others.

"Grandma Hua is in mourning. It is said that she passed away peacefully. Don't be too sad."

"I understand."

The mother and daughter really had nothing to say, and Kevin watched anxiously from the sidelines.

"It's still not a short time before dawn. Let's go eat something while we have nothing to do now, so that we can be more energetic later."

Xiao Zhen remembered that Huaran arrived earlier than herself, so she naturally had no objection to Kevin's words, but Huaran still didn't want to have too much involvement with them.

"I'm not hungry for what I've eaten, so go and eat."

Xiao Zhen immediately wanted to follow suit, and Kevin quickly said: "Then why don't I go and buy it back. If I'm not hungry now, I might be hungry later. Sophia, sit with Xiaoran, and I'll be right back."

fair enough.

Xiao Zhen nodded, Huaran couldn't say anything, seeing Kevin running away, suddenly said: "So you and Teacher Kevin are so close."

Xiao Zhen rejected Kevin for so many years, and even now she refuses to admit that the two have a relationship beyond friends, teachers and students, but she can't help but blush and feel embarrassed when she hears her daughter's words.

The author has something to say: Maybe I will forget it again today.

Xiaobai: I, Bai Hansan, will be back soon!
