After saying that, she seemed to be in a good mood as she walked up to the second floor.
Meanwhile, Shen Lanzhi, who was sitting on the couch, had a confused look on her face.
Shouldn’t she wait until Yuting came back to say the words ‘Happy New Year’?
Sitting on the couch, Shen Lanzhi was puzzled.
…
In the presidential villa.
These few days, Zuo Yi had been sitting in the backyard, looking at the artificial pond that no longer had Sisi.
Zuo Weiyi looked at him, and indeed felt a little heartache.
To her grandpa, Sisi was someone who never left him. But with her physically gone, he must have felt an emptiness in his heart.
It is because she didn’t have the heart to let her grandpa go, she couldn’t follow Shi Yuting back to Country Z today.
As she was quietly looking at Zuo Yi from a distance, Zuo Yi suddenly stood up from the chair and walked towards Zuo Weiyi step by step with his crutch.
Seeing his this, Zuo Weiyi became a little excited. “Grandpa.”
In the past, when he saw his precious granddaughter, Zuo Yi would always smile happily with a face full of joy. However, ever since Sisi left, his smiles and joyful face became rarer.
Today, there was finally a trace of joy.
“Weiyi, come with grandpa to the seaside for a walk.”
His words surprised Zuo Weiyi slightly for a moment. It seemed that grandpa mood was not better.
“Okay.”
Perhaps he would be in a better mood when he reached the seaside, because that was where his grandmother ‘lived’.
The two of them arrived at the seaside. It was an exceptionally cold in winter.
Zuo Yi was wearing an old black coat. He leaned on his walking stick and looked at the endless sea. His gaze was distant, and the expression on his face seemed like he was reminiscing past memories from decades ago.
After standing for an entire afternoon, Zuo Yi did not say anything. He just looked quietly into the distance. He was not tired, hungry, or thirsty.
Snowflakes fell from the sky again. Zuo Weiyi held up the black the umbrella [1]in her hand and slowly walked towards Zuo Yi.
“Grandpa, it’s snowing.”
Facing towards her grandpa, she called out calmly. Then, she raised the umbrella above his head and shielded him from the snow.
“It’s just that, sometimes, grandpa really wants to see your grandma again. It’s been 41 years, and I miss her all the time. The pain of wanting to see her but not being able to see her, can you understand…”
For decades, he had never told anyone about his longing for Shen Luxi. It had always been hidden in his heart.
Every night, when he looked at Shen Luxi’s photo, his tears would always flow uncontrollably. Not many people could experience that kind of regret and piercing pain.
“I can.” Of course, Zuo Weiyi had a deep understanding of his pain.
When she was forced to leave Shi Yuan, she couldn’t see her mother anymore. So how could she not understand his feelings?
Perhaps the most painful thing in this world was that the person you loved was no longer in this world.
However, she felt that the most painful thing in this world was that the person you loved was right in front of you, but he did not remember you.
So, how could she not understand grandpa’s pain?
“Grandma must be thinking of you all the time. ”
Zuo Yi turned his head toward her before revealing a bitter smile.
