Chapter 312 - 293: Hello-II

When entering the memorial building Li Lian thought they were about to meet someone. Somewhere she expected it would be his parents she would be meeting but there were still people who could have died. It was only until she was in front of them did she realized it was Li Jun Wei's parents who they were going to meet.

Li Lian was slightly confused what she should do now that she is going to meet his parents. They may have died but they were still Li Jun Wei's beloved parents. She stopped in front of the small glass case on Li Jun Wei's right side.

After Li Jun Wei had greeted his parents, his eyes then shifted to meet Li Lian's, "This is my parent's ashes." He introduced, his voice was calm and collected as he stood there with a smile that held a hint of sadness.

When Li Lian was asked to go with him she had agreed without saying anything and never did she thought her would bring her here.

"The memorial building isn't too far from the house so I thought without delay I should introduced you." Li Lian nodded her head at his explanation.

"Hello Mr and Mrs Li, my name is Li Lian, I'm Jun Wei's wife." I am sure that you two had stayed there while watching Jun Wei please continue to watch us from the place you are, added Li Lian in her mind, her hand clasped as if to pray for the words to reach to the people who had passed away.

"I'm sure they know you." Li Jun Wei smiled at her, the sadness disappeared as it stayed only for a few moments.

"They know me?" Li Lian asked his words while her eyes watching the two pots in front of her. She didn't know if it was the room or the pots but the place here felt somewhat calming and relaxing that made her feel nostalgic emotions surging in her heart that at the same time gave a sense of disappearance.

"I often come to tell you." He said for Li Lian to feel elated by his words. "My family they were against cremation of the dead. At first when my parents died, they didn't agree to the idea of cremating my parents but my grandfather who saw their corpse said it would be too sad for them if he let they continue to suffer in the world."

That was why even though the room was designated for Li Family there was only two pots, though Li Lian and the two belonged to his parents. She thoughtfully in the silence guessed that the mean by suffer was that they had died badly and the corpses were too suffocating for the family to see, therefore choosing to cremating them.

Li Lian gazed at him, and she knew it must not be easy to be here, telling the story by himself. "Do you often come here?" she asked him carefully.

"It is near the house and yes whenever I have time or things to say to them. In the past there were less people who I could confide with my feelings almost no one." This gathered Li Lian's attention at him, she felt bad for him.

"Why didn't you confide to anyone?" she asked while shifting her eyes from the spot she stared to him.

"I don't find them trustworthy. The only people I believed in high school was even less. Only one person." Li Jun Wei looked at her thoughtfully, seizing her intrigued expression before he continued, "I only trust myself. It took me years to believe that I could trust my grandparents, although now, I can't trust them again."

Once the lie had come it was hard for anyone to try and believe again. Li Jun Wei didn't know the reason but he thought it would have been better if they could tell him truthfully about everything and didn't hide things from him.

Li Lian's hand that was idle beside her h.i.p.s slowly moved, stopping once she felt her little finger brushed his palm. Sliding her fingers to the gasp, her hand tightened on him. When their eyes met, she smiled, "I'm here." The two words filled the silent room and the air that felt fragile turned stronger now.

"There is also Xiao Chen." added Li Lian to then rested her head on his arm, "You're not alone."

Li Jun Wei leaned his face down, "Yes, I'm not alone." a smile broke on his lips that looked somewhat childish that were similar to the expression he made when he was still young. At a point Li Lian thought he wouldn't laugh the same way again but she was wrong.

Upon exiting the memorial building, Li Lian saw a flower placed in front of the glass case. Did Jun Wei placed the flower there? Knowing him, it could be.

"Next time I should come with a flower, what flower do your parents like?" asked Li Lian leaving the room where his parents rested on.

"Carnations." replied Li Jun Wei and Li Lian thought it was odd although she didn't voiced the strange thing she found to him. She was sure the flower earlier wasn't carnations.

Reaching the building rains dripped down with both having nothing but a piece of clothes on their body, there were still distance for them to reach the car and it would be impossible without getting the rains.

Taking Li Jun Wei's hand, her face turned at him with a smile, "Let's run!"

Li Lian ran out from the building followed by Li Jun Wei who at first ran behind her before taking the lead. Rain drops covered their face, the water droplets didn't fail to soak their clothes with water. Li Lian felt the rain and the air cold but at the same time refreshing as they left the memorial building. The two entered the car as soon as they arrived and rode back to the house.
