Y Country’s Tianhu Mountain!
It is called Tianhu Mountain because at the summit there’s a Sky Lake, whose surface is as still as a mirror. At night, it beautifully reflects the cosmic sky, the Milky Way and starry seas, melding the darkness with the heavens, thus its accolade: Heavenly Lake Fairyland.
Tianhu Mountain has visitors throughout all seasons, and today was no exception. However, today there was a wealthy man who rented the mountain for an entire day!
By the Sky Lake, a young man wearing sunglasses, as usual, sat early in the Heavenly Lake Pavilion, his body leaning against a pillar, looking as if he was resting, but more so, waiting.
It had been almost two years, and he had gotten used to sitting here waiting.
He was happy to take photos with tourists, not for money, but with the hope that they would spread his pictures around the world. Maybe one day, she would see one and come to find him.
Over these two years, although he contacted tourists every day, he never actively sought external information. Hope brings disappointment, and he feared hearing some tragic news about her.
As night fell, he would hear the campers nearby exclaim in astonishment at the beautiful night scenery of Tianhu Mountain.
But for him, the most beautiful scenery in life had been those blissful moments in Wangyou Valley, spent alone with her.
Back then, Wangyou Valley was alive with birdsong, a riot of flowers, perfect sunlight, and the long song of flowing water, with the village beauty by his side.
Alas, those wonderful times could now only live in the past...
He picked up a flask and took a swig. It was Erguotou liquor left by a tourist. The strong drink burned down his throat, and his expression was inscrutable, a smile yet not a smile; perhaps it was helplessness towards the alcohol.
He wanted to drown his sorrows in drink, yet the alcohol seemed to allow his grief to spread wildly in his heart... Latest content published on novel✦fire.net
"Come back with me!" A low voice suddenly rang out in his ear!
Sheng Shuai’s body trembled slightly as he turned around slowly and said in an exceedingly calm voice, "Dad? How did you..."
"If I hadn’t come to find you, were you planning to die here?" Sheng Kun felt a tightness in his chest from anger.
"Dad, please go back, don’t worry about me. I’ve gone blind, and the park manager is good to me. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone."
"So you won’t come back with me, huh? Fine, let’s scatter Ye Shu’s ashes in Sky Lake and let them accompany you for the rest of your life!" With that, Sheng Kun threw the urn he was holding downward!
"No!" Sheng Shuai suddenly leaped forward, catching the urn labeled "Ye Shu" just in time, clutching it tightly and bursting into loud sobs. "Little Village Flower, how could you be so heartless to leave me, why..."
He truly cried, tears streaming down, with snot and all...
"You’re quicker than anyone else, yet you dare to say you’re blind? I think it’s your heart that’s blind!" Sheng Kun picked up a pebble and threw it hard!
With a "bang," the urn Sheng Shuai was holding tight shattered on impact!
Sheng Shuai was about to explode in fury but then realized that the urn was empty!
"Dad, what are you doing?" Sheng Shuai tossed aside his sunglasses. "What happened to Ye Shu? Is there news about her? Is she still alright?"
"Hmph, you think only about this all day and don’t consider your family’s feelings. I’ve truly wasted my efforts raising you!" Sheng Kun said angrily, "Do you know who sent me to find you?"
"Who?" Sheng Shuai seemed to guess something, rushing back, he grabbed Sheng Kun’s shoulders and jolted them. "Dad, tell me, is it Ye Shu? Has she come back? Did she send you to find me, didn’t she?"
Sheng Kun looked at him with disdain, "In your heart, can I, your father, really not compare to a woman? You unfilial son, if you want to know, go back and ask her yourself!"
