The grass on Ningning's grave is half a meter high.

Earlier, Xia Zhinan would visit every year, but she left city a for City C three years ago, so she didn't have so much time and energy to come back to visit.

Xia Zhinan is ashamed of this.

It's about 9 a.m. and the wind is a little strong with the cold of winter.

Xia Zhinan bent over and put down the lily on his hand. Then he knelt down directly on the stone tablet.

Lu Li Jue looked at the girl's action and frowned. He reached out and rubbed Xia Zhinan's head and said softly, "get up and stand up and say."

Xia Zhinan shook his head and held out his hand to touch the photos and words engraved on the tombstone——

Ning Ning.

Nothing else.

Xia Zhinan finally sobbed as the memory of his mother poured out.

When she was young, Ning Ning always dressed her up like a little princess.

Ning Ning lost the support of the Ning family because she insisted on marrying Xia Yao. She left the Ning family and married Xia Yao alone.

But summer Yao wanted to marry her Ning Ning, a large part of the reason is that she took a fancy to the family forces behind Ning Ning.

But now Ning Ning has nothing, so Xia Yao actually has no feelings for Ning Ning. If it hadn't been for the uproar about marrying Ning Ning, he would have repented without hesitation.

However, Xia Yao has a conscience. Xia Yao is more concerned about her daughter, Xia Zhinan.

Maybe it's because she is her first child, and her daughter has always been close to her father. When she was young, Xia Yao still loved her daughter very much. At least he wouldn't ignore her. At least he would hug her when he came home from work or give her a birthday party.

So, before Ning Ning died, Xia Zhinan had been very happy.

The mother is a child raised by the upper class family. According to Xia Zhinan, her grandparents seem to be in politics.

These families look bright. In fact, people in the family have experienced all kinds of bitterness.

Ning Ning was originally married internally. The women of that family must marry a man who is in politics and is worthy of the family.

Unfortunately, Ning Ning was young at that time, but she was just an adult. It was the most rebellious time. Naturally, she didn't want to be bound by her family. In addition, she was young and easy to listen to other men. Therefore, she agreed to be Xia Yao's girlfriend. It didn't take long for her to have a relationship. Finally, she had to marry Xia Yao because she was pregnant and had a showdown with her family.

A family like the Ning family will not forgive a daughter's deviance. They have cut off all relations with Ning Ning Ning. From Xia Zhinan's birth to now, she doesn't know what the Ning family, her grandparents, uncles, cousins and other relatives look like.

Xia Zhinan still remembers that when she was a child, she was not sensible. When she saw Ning Ning alone in the room, she secretly hid in the wardrobe and prepared to scare Ning Ning.

But she just pushed open the door and jumped out of the wardrobe. Ning Ning Ning saw that she was not much frightened. She just looked at her in a daze, then casually stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on her face and put away the photos on her hand.

Xia Zhinan still remembered that Ning Ning Ning soon put on a happy and optimistic expression at that time. As usual, she never showed her weakness and sadness in front of Xia Zhinan. She was always an optimistic and kind-hearted person.

But Xia Zhinan knew that her mother had always had a heart knot. Over the years, she had regretted her wrong choice.

She also misses home, her parents, brothers and sisters.

Xia Zhinan knelt down for a while and found that the tears on his face had been dried by the cool wind.

Lord Lu Li did not know when he knelt down and hugged her all the time.

Xia Zhinan turned his head and saw Lord Lu Li staring at the tombstone.

"Ah Jue?" Xia Zhinan whispered, a little hoarse.

When the man heard the girl's cry, he came back and looked at the girl, "huh?"

"Are you bored to come here..." seeing that Lord Lu Li was just wandering in a daze, Xia Zhinan instinctively felt that Lord Lu Li didn't like to come with her to visit her mother.

"No, you think too much."

Lord Lu Li stretched out his big palm and wrapped the girl's frozen little hands together.

Xia Zhinan lowered his head and looked stunned.

"I was just wondering if your mother would want to climb out of the cemetery and hug you hard every time she saw you crying in front of her grave."

"...." Xia Zhinan raised his head, frowned and asked, "every time?"

How did Lord Lu Li know that every time she came to visit her mother, she would cry with tears?

"Silly girl," said Lord Lu Li, and took Xia Zhinan to stand up.

The cold wind made the girl's kneecap ache, and Xia Zhinan frowned.

"Come on, let's drink to your mother."

Lu Li picked up the bag at his feet and drew a bottle of Baijiu from it.

"Eh? When did you bring wine?"

Xia Zhinan just didn't notice.

"It's not important," said Lord Lu Li, pouring a small half cup for Xia Zhinan, and then pouring another cup in front of the cemetery.

“……”

Xia Zhinan looked at the man and filled himself with a cup. He immediately stopped with disapproval and said, "ah Jue, you have to drive later..."

"It doesn't matter. Let's take a taxi back."

Instead of caring, Lu leaned down and put down his Baijiu, then raised his hands and kneeled down to the gravestone.

The sound of knee knocking on the slate is particularly heavy.

Xia Zhinan was surprised and stared at the man at his feet.

"Aunt Ning, my name is Lu lijue. I'm your daughter Xia Zhinan's boyfriend. In the future, I will be her husband and the father of her child. Thank you for bringing such a lovely and beautiful girl to the world. Thank you for letting such a beautiful girl stay with me..."

When Lord Lu Li finished, he suddenly looked up and poured down the wine.

The strong Baijiu made him cough unconsciously.

"Ah Jue..." Xia Zhinan squatted down and looked at the man's face reddened slightly after drinking and coughing violently.

Lord Lu Li raised his head and looked at Xia Zhinan, then stretched out his palm and shook the back of the girl's hand slightly.

"Listen, this is a promise. You should always remember what I just said."

Xia Zhinan was stunned.

promise?

The promise made in front of his mother's grave to marry her and take good care of her?

Xia Zhinan's eyes were suddenly wet. She covered her mouth, her big eyes were watery, and her body trembled in the wind.

Lu Li Jue looked at the girl like this and immediately frowned. He half got up, hugged the girl and said to her, "drink the wine and warm up."

"Well..."

Xia Zhi Nan almost swallowed the cup of Baijiu while he was crying.

Her throat is hot, her heart and her face are hot.

For so many years, she finally didn't bear the cold wind alone.

It turned out that he had always been with her. He had been standing not far away and staring at her.
