She gazed into the distance, her eyes deep and somber as she said, "I remember you mentioned that after one more cold snap, spring would arrive."
"Yes, the recent weather forecast has announced it, saying the temperature will drop soon. However, the cold snap won’t last long, and the weather will warm up quickly." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✶fire.net
"Hmm, I’ll take a walk in the garden..." Mo Ran nodded, rising to her feet and leaving the bedroom.
Suddenly, she felt that her relationship with Gu Yixuan was like the weather. At first, she thought spring had arrived, but she had not expected another cold snap to hit.
Yet, their relationship was not like the actual weather, because even after the cold snap passed, there would be no spring between them.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was gentle and pleasant.
Mo Ran, dressed in a T-shirt, jeans, and a sweater jacket, walked quietly in the garden, appreciating every plant and flower.
When she first arrived, the garden’s flowers were simple, with only a few kaffir lilies and evergreens.
That was when Gu Yixuan renovated it, planting many different plants like peonies, roses, Chinese roses, flowering crabapples, and bird of paradise flowers among others.
He also built a fountain, neither too big nor too small, so that walking in the garden during the summer wouldn’t be too hot.
To prevent her from getting bored, he even installed a swing.
Mo Ran liked to sit on the swing, admiring the scenery of the garden while gently swaying.
Everything here was prepared by him for her; now, the things remained, but the person was no longer the same.
Mo Ran’s hand gently touched the swing, her gaze somewhat vacant.
She thought if she hadn’t gone to ’Night Charm’ to pick up her sister from work that day, there would have been no entanglements between them afterward.
But there are not so many ifs in this world; what has happened has happened.
It wasn’t a matter of regret, nor was it about being willing; she just hoped that the tangle between them could end soon.
After staying in the garden for a while, Mo Ran felt like going upstairs to sleep.
Entering the living room, she happened to run into Gu Yixuan, who had just returned.
Their eyes met, both a bit stunned.
Gu Yixuan put down his coat, walked over to her, and with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, said, "You look good today, the ability of people to adapt is indeed strong."
He was mocking her, mocking her for adapting to his torment.
Mo Ran met his gaze calmly and said, "I would like to go see Tang Song, is that alright?"
She did not know if his body had been buried. She still remembered him telling her that if he died, he would be buried beside his mother.
