The next day Chen Chi got up quite early, got up after six o'clock, took a shower, and made something casual for breakfast.

It rained last night, and it was chilly at this time of the morning, the air was filled with the scent of damp soil, and the streets washed by the rain were rare and quiet.

Chen Chi was wearing a black peaked cap. Because he hadn't blown his hair, his slightly long black hair lay half-wet on his forehead, and his eyes were deep.

Due to the weather, Chen Chi added a coat, which was also black. The original casual outfit, when paired with Chen Chi's strange and calm face, gave people an inexplicable sense of restraint.

Chen Chi walked into the canteen, and the boss inside was sitting on a recliner with a magazine on his face. He didn't know if he was really asleep or closed his eyes for a rest, Chen Chi reached out and knocked on the counter.

"Uncle Qin."

"Who is it?" Qin Guo pulled down the magazine covering his face with one hand, still a little unconscious.

"Oh, Chen Chi." Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Qin Guo yawned and sat up, "I guess it's about time for you kid to come."

Qin Guo glanced at Chen Chi, turned around and took a bottle and a plastic funnel and handed them to Chen Chi, "Go and beat it yourself."

"Uncle Qin, thank you." Chen Chi took the two items.

"What are you talking about?" Qin Guo waved his hand, "Hurry up, I want to sleep a little longer."

Chen Chi smiled, picked up the things in his hands and went in to make wine. The bottle was in a small bottle, and it didn't take long for Chen Chi to finish making wine.

When going out, Chen Chi looked at Qin Guo who was lying on the chair again, raised the wine in his hand, "Uncle, I put the money in it for you."

"En." Qin Guo opened his eyes and didn't say much.

Chen Chi didn't care either, and went out to the suburbs.

"Chen Chi has been here?" When Chen Chi walked away, a female voice came from the cubicle of the canteen.

Qin Guo got up and watched Chen Chi disappear before pulling down the rolling door.

"Well, I've been here."

"It's not easy for this kid. Next time he comes, take him for a meal and I'll do it." The female voice was still a little unconscious, but the meaning in the words was extremely clear.

"You don't know him yet?" Qin Guo packed some things inside and walked in, "I don't have the ability to keep him."

"That's right." There was silence for a while, and he sighed.

"Okay, let's sleep for a while, it's rare to have a day off." Qin Guo said, and also entered the cubicle.

Chen Chi took a bottle of wine and walked slowly to the suburbs, not in a hurry.

The farther you go, the less urbanized things are, and the high-rise buildings are all behind you. The asphalt road gradually turns into a dirt road. Because of the summer, many wild flowers bloom on the roadside.

The rain last night made the ground wet. Chen Chi turned around along the path and arrived at a cemetery. There were no exquisite tombs, and some were even just a small dirt bag. There were no tombstones, except maybe those who buried him at that time , No one knows who is inside.

Sometimes this is the advantage of being alive. No matter how much people who know you hate you and pretend not to know you, when they see you, all kinds of information about you will always appear in their minds.

No matter how bad you are, you can use your own ID card and household registration to prove that you have existed in this world.

But when you die, your identity is revoked, you are buried in the ground, or your ashes are scattered elsewhere, the only thing that can prove that you have come to this world is the living people, you in their minds and mouths.

When the last person who remembers you disappears, the world will be completely without you, and there will be another grave after one grave.

Sometimes Chen Chi wonders if all he earns in his life is his two-meter-long grave money.

But fortunately, when everyone is dead, he will not experience the pain of being forgotten by everyone, and he will not care whether the place where he sleeps for a long time will be covered by other things.

After all, if ghosts really existed, the earth would have been overwhelmed long ago, right?

When he walked to the tomb, Chen Chi's shoes and trousers were stained with mud.

Chen Chi put the wine in his hand on the ground. There is an inscription in front of this tomb, but it is not like those high-end large cemeteries with photos of the deceased before his death, the kind of black and white smiling photos.

Chen Chi took out a tissue and wiped the tombstone, and the words "Chen Yaowen" were clearly visible.

After wiping the tombstone clean, Chen Chi took out several stacks of paper money and a handful of incense from the pocket hanging on the side, and took out a lighter from his pocket. Chen Chi lit the paper money and threw them into the basin in front of the grave.

When the paper money was almost burned, Chen Chi lit the incense sticks, inserted three sticks in the middle, and divided the rest into two, sticking them on both sides.

After finishing all this, Chen Chi kept his kneeling posture and looked at the tombstone quietly for a while. After a while, he got up and found a relatively dry stone around to sit down.

Chen Chi propped his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky that had not completely cleared, "I see you twice a year, this is the first time this year."

"When did you come to see me?" Chen Chi paused, "They said that I am not qualified to enter their He family."

Speaking of this, the corners of Chen Chi's mouth turned up, he lowered his head with a sneer, looked straight at the tombstone, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Is he the He family of that family?!"

"Did you say you were worth it back then?" When Chen Chi was young, he couldn't figure out why the person lying here now had a completely different attitude towards him than when he was.

Every time he came, Chen Chi thought that it would be great if this person could give him an answer, but this is impossible.

It wasn't until later that he experienced a lot of things that he knew why, and he understood why this person had those behaviors in the first place.

However, even at the beginning, he could feel Chen Yaowen's love for him from the bottom of his heart. Although it may not be more than when, but there is always, and he knows that in Chen Yaowen's heart, he is more loving than when. He is proud.

This love was a point that troubled Chen Chi for a long time, but it was also the reason why he insisted on coming here every year for so long.

Maybe this is what he longed for the most in his heart.

The next day, Bai Sizhe left early in the morning due to work reasons. Bai Chu didn't sleep in. He got up very early. On the one hand, he had to get up to study, on the other hand...

He remembered that today Chen Chi would always disappear for a whole day and only go home at night. Every time he came back, he would not be in a good mood.

But worrying is useless, even if he goes to Chen Chi's house now, he can't be found.

Bai Chu opened his textbook and calmed down. There was only one week before the exam, so he still took the time to study, he didn't want to leave Chen Chi.

When you are serious about doing something, time always passes quickly. When Li Yu came up to ask Bai Chu to have dinner, Bai Chu was still a little unresponsive.

It wasn't until he looked up and saw the dim sky outside that he came back to his senses, agreed, and Bai Chu walked downstairs.

When he went down, Su Qinmo had already sat down at the table, probably because Bai Sizhe left early in the morning without saying hello, Su Qinmo's expression was not very good-looking.

Bai Chu quietly walked over and sat down, and waited for Su Qinmo to start eating before picking up the chopsticks to pick up the food.

He remembered that once because he accidentally took the chopsticks before Su Qinmo started, Su Qinmo beat him with the ruler in Bai Sizhe's study so that his hands were red and swollen, and he didn't dare to move for a few days, let alone do anything with them .

Looking at the exquisite dinner in front of him, Chen Chi's figure flashed in Bai Chu's mind. At this time, Chen Chi should be going home soon, right?I don't know if I have dinner.

Bai Chu was a little lost in thought as he thought about it, and didn't move his chopsticks.

"Li Yu, go and tidy up my room." Su Qinmo said to Li Yu without turning her head.

"Okay, ma'am." Clean up the room now?

Li Yu looked at the sky outside the window a little strangely, but it was not a big problem. Not wanting to make Su Qinmo angry, Li Yu agreed and went upstairs.

When Bai Chu heard Su Qinmo's words, his hands paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he gently put down his chopsticks.

When Li Yu went upstairs, Su Qinmo looked up at Bai Chu, and said lightly, "Come here."

Bai Chu's expression didn't change, he got up and walked over.

Su Qinmo put down his chopsticks, picked up a paper towel and wiped his mouth, and when Bai Chu approached, he slapped Bai Chu with his backhand.

With a crisp sound of "Pa——!", Bai Chu was thrown sideways by this force, and he held back the cry of pain that he wanted to make.

Bai Chu turned his head slowly, a light red slap was imprinted on his face, burning pain came from the left side of his cheek, and Bai Chuan stood quietly on the spot.

"You're so inattentive about eating, it seems you're not hungry," Su Qinmo rubbed his wrist lightly after beating, and then continued to eat.

"Since this is the case, don't eat, go out and stay, I won't let you in until I let you in."

Hearing this, Bai Chu didn't even look up at Su Qinmo, turned around and walked out.

"By the way, stay far away, don't let your kind-hearted Aunt Li see it and come to trouble me again."

Seeing that Bai Chu obediently turned around and left, Su Qinmo added something.

Bai Chu paused, without answering, and walked out the door.

"Ma'am, where is the young master?" After Li Yu came down, Bai Chu was no longer in the living room.

"I said I went for a walk when I was full." Su Qinmo went upstairs after eating, and replied casually.

"I see." Li Yu nodded, the young master has changed a lot recently, it's good to go out for a walk.

Bai Chu walked outside aimlessly, it might be raining again, he didn't bring his coat out, the wind blew past and it was chilly.

She didn't bring anything with her, neither money nor mobile phone. According to Su Qinmo's habit, she would go upstairs after dinner and stay for a while before resting.

I probably won't call him anymore today, so where will he live tonight?

Bai Chu wandered around, and when he regained consciousness and wanted to see where he was, he found that he had stopped by the big willow tree next to the house without knowing it.

Stretching out his hand to touch the rough trunk of the willow tree, Bai Chu suddenly thought of the question he had thought earlier, Chen Chi should be at home now, right?

Then, why don't he go and see if Chen Chi is back, borrow some money by the way, and find a place to stay for one night.

After thinking for a while, Bai Chu felt that this was the only way he could do it now, so he pursed his lips and walked towards the place where Chen Chi lived.
