I Will Always Love You

"Tongtong?" Gu Chengji turned her head, looked at the person who hit her back, and couldn't help calling her in a low voice.

"Uh...hehe...Well, you also come to burn incense and worship Buddha?" Cheng Shitong returned to her senses, smiled awkwardly at Gu Chengji, and asked weakly.

"No..." The surprise in Gu Chengji's eyes disappeared instantly. He lowered his head and looked at Cheng Shitong with a deep gaze, and said in a low voice: "I'm here... to worship my mother."

"Your mother?" Cheng Shitong was startled and looked at him suspiciously.

"Um..." Gu Chengji nodded, was silent for a moment, and then whispered towards her: "On the first day of the new year when I was twelve years old, you got lost here, do you remember? At that time you Only eight years old."

"Uh...I remember..." Cheng Shitong stretched out her hand and touched her nose with embarrassment, and responded awkwardly.

"After a few days, my mother's condition began to deteriorate, and eventually she didn't make it to the seventh day of the new year." Gu Chengji turned around and looked at the lush pine needles in the temple. He sighed for a long time and said: "And my father, at that time, was celebrating the New Year and enjoying the happiness of the family. He didn't even know, probably didn't want to know, he also had a son who was alone with the death of his relatives. s pain."

Cheng Shitong stood beside him, listening quietly, without speaking.

"After my mother's body was cremated, I secretly loaded a little ashes and sprinkled it in this woods. When I missed her, I would come and have a look..." Gu Chengji said as he said, and suddenly laughed low." Isn’t it naive?? But here is the only place that can calm my mood. When I was a child, I used to hate that person, hate him for ignoring me, abandoning me, now think about it, probably at that time there was still a little hope for him , I always hope that one day, he will show up in front of me, smiled and said, Cheng Ji, you are also my son, I am actually very concerned, but I am too busy... can't take care of it..."

Gu Chengji sighed for a long time, turned around, looked down, looked at Cheng Shitong standing quietly beside him, smiled slightly, and continued: "Unfortunately, he has never appeared."

"Then you... still hate him?" Cheng Shitong looked up and looked at his eyes. His eyes are beautiful, like the color of a clear sky. She once thought it was because he had never seen rain, but she had never thought of it. It turned out that it was the tranquility after the storm.

"I don't hate it." Gu Chengji turned his head, looked at the ground, and said in a low voice: "Probably if you don't expect a person, you will gradually forget him."

Cheng Shitong sighed lowly. She had never thought that when facing herself and Gu Ningshu, such a kind and dear person would treat her other son so cruelly.

For a while, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Gu Chengji finally spoke and called her in a low voice:

"Tongtong..."

"Huh?" Cheng Shitong turned her head, looking at him with a trace of doubt in her eyes.

"Actually, I have liked you for a long time." Gu Chengji smiled at her, the afternoon sun fell on his sober and handsome face, just as amazing as when he met at the beginning of the year, his voice continued in a low and low voice: "I I thought I would never see you again in this life."
