Chapter 08 The real Yao Haiyan is back 2
It is really not easy to walk on mountain roads in high heels. Fortunately, the weather is very good today. It is not raining or snowing. The ground is very dry and not slippery at all.
Cheng Ximing was kind enough to extend his hand to support me, and walked forward step by step. In his hands, he was holding a bunch of things needed for the sacrifice.
On the way, I borrowed a cell phone from Cheng Ximing and called my aunt, saying that I would be back today. After hearing this, my aunt said she would wait for me at my parents' graves.
From a distance, I saw my aunt standing on the hillside waiting for us. I guess she didn't recognize me, as she kept looking around.
One year and one day later, I am here again.
I still remember the first time I came here as a child, my aunt pointed to the two piles of yellow earth and said, Qiqi, your father and mother are buried under here.
At that time, I didn’t understand what my aunt meant, and I naively asked, “How can people live underground? Didn’t Mom and Dad go to the city to buy supplies?”
Later, when I grew up, I gradually understood that only the dead would sleep forever underground. My parents would never come back, and they left me forever.
I was only eight years old when I understood all this. I was unwilling to accept such a cruel fact, so I ran to the mountain alone, crying to the two yellow earth piles and asking them why they left me like this, leaving me an orphan, while they were sleeping peacefully? Can they wake up? I will be good in the future, not fight with other children, not lie, study hard, and work hard to get little red flowers...as long as they wake up.
But no matter how much I cried, no one responded to me.
Later, I don’t know how long it had been, but my aunt found me lying in front of my parents’ grave, crying until I was tired. She hugged me and said, “Be good, Qiqi. Your aunt is here!”
Qiqi, be good, your aunt is here!
Therefore, Ruo Qiqi's aunt was the only relative left in her life.
Normally when I see others being spoiled by their parents , I would never say how much I miss them. I would just keep it in my heart and cry alone.
Later, I gradually stopped crying because I heard from someone that the souls of the dead are still there and will watch over the people they loved.
If my parents’ spirits saw me crying, they would definitely be sad.
I want to live a good life so that they can rest assured.
"Hey! Ruo Qiqi, your snot fell on me. These are new clothes and I have to wear them to meet people later." Cheng Ximing's annoying voice suddenly rang in my ears.
I raised my head and glared at Cheng Ximing fiercely, then grabbed his arm as if to vent my anger and wiped all my tears and snot on his clothes.
I completely ignored his wide eyes, then smiled again and called out to someone not far away: "Auntie——"
Hearing my voice, my aunt walked towards me in astonishment, took my hand and looked at me in disbelief.
"Qiqi, it's you! Why are you dressed like this? I can't recognize you." My aunt said in surprise.
“Isn’t it beautiful?”
I grinned at my aunt.
My aunt frowned and asked me coldly, "Aren't you cold? In this weather, I'm wearing a down jacket, but you're wearing a skirt , a small shawl, and high heels. Your neck and legs are red from the cold. Why are you dressed like this?"
Seeing that my aunt was angry, I told her the whole story . My aunt looked at me helplessly, then took off the scarf from her neck and tied it on me.
"Didn't I tell you that if you can't come back, then don't come back. Now look how anxious you are."
"It's okay. I'll leave after I see my parents."
"Well, come on, let's go."
I followed my aunt to my parents' grave and placed all the sacrificial items in place.
My nose couldn't help but feel sore and tears welled up in my eyes.
My aunt spread a towel on the ground and asked me to kneel down.
Because of the limited time, I had a brief conversation with my parents. Actually, there are many things I want to say, and I have a lot to say every day. I can't finish talking in my lifetime, but I really can't stay too long.
I think my parents would be unhappy if they knew that I pretended to be Yao Haiyan and deceived Chi Yanze.
They don't like me to lie, but I also want to live a good life with my aunt. Moreover, although it is a lie, my intention is good. Look how cheerful Chi Yanze has become now.
Mom and Dad must forgive me and believe that even if Qiqi in their family cheated people, it was because he had a kind heart and wanted to help others.
After paying homage to my parents, I reluctantly said goodbye to my aunt, then got into Cheng Ximing’s car and rushed back to the hotel in the city.
I remained silent on the way, looking at the scenery outside the car window, and couldn't help shedding tears.
Seeing how sad I was, Cheng Ximing stopped yelling at me and tried to comfort me.
"Ruoqiqi, your parents must be very happy today, thinking, my daughter is dressed so beautifully today. So, smile, you will be more beautiful when you smile. After all, today is my birthday, and I feel uncomfortable seeing you look so sad. You didn't even give me a birthday present, and now you don't even smile at me. Tsk tsk, did I owe you in my previous life?" Cheng Ximing said to me pitifully.
I was amused by his deliberately pitiful tone, and my mood improved a lot. Looking at the traffic lights ahead, I couldn't help but say to him, "Do you know? When you are driving, if you encounter red lights all the way, it means that something lucky will happen to you today. Because God thinks that people who encounter red lights all the way are unlucky, so he will give them some grace."
"Really?" Cheng Ximing looked at me suspiciously.
There is a red light ahead and the driver can only stop.
"You're not going to cheat me again like you did last time when you took my umbrella?"
"Who lied to you? You can lie to anyone but not the birthday boy! This is immoral. Besides, how did I lie to you last time? When you counted to a hundred, didn't you see Murong Shan?" I said disapprovingly.
Cheng Ximing snorted coldly: "That's because you saw her coming a long time ago."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to believe that, but you have to believe this. I have a feeling that there will be red lights all the way today. When we return to the hotel, Murong Shan might confess to you."
"Humph! Who would believe you!"
"If you don't believe it, forget it!"
I folded my arms over my chest and turned my face away.
The car started moving again and passed five traffic lights, and sure enough, all the lights were red.
When we got off the car at the hotel, I saw Cheng Ximing's mouth curled up into a big smile. I couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You still say you don't believe it, why are you laughing if you don't believe it? Haha! You are stupid , you didn't learn math well. If it's the first time you encounter a red light, the probability of encountering red lights several times in a row is very high, and you still take it seriously! Haha!"
I laughed while holding my stomach. Cheng Ximing next to me glared at me with an unpleasant expression and said through gritted teeth, "Ruo Qiqi, how could I believe you? You liar!"
Haha! Who told you to be stupid? You deserve to be cheated!
I made a smug face at Cheng Ximing and walked into the hotel.
