I Miss My Parents

It had been almost a year since Lu Suo last saw his parents. Their smiles were etched in his memory.

‘They’ll never pat my head and praise me again…’

Lu Suo flipped through the album once more. He could not help but kiss Lu Heng and Fan Rui’s photos. At that moment, his eyes were a little wet.

Lu Gan told Song Yujin about their visit to the grave.

“Okay.”

Song Yujin was calm as usual.

Lu Gan said gently, “It’s a pity that you’ve never met them. They would have liked you very much.”

Song Yuchen nodded.

Meanwhile, Song Ci had gone to change her clothes. She chose a plain white shirt and jeans. After all, bright colors were inappropriate for such an occasion.

Shortly after, the family of four set out.

This would be Song Ci’s third visit to Lu Heng’s grave.

The family of four walked up the long flight of stairs to Lu Heng and Fang Rui’s graves.

Lu Heng looked very handsome in the photo. In fact, he resembled Lu Gan. Both of them were mature and elegant.

Lu Gan looked at his brother.

“Brother, this is my wife. Her name is Song Ci. I haven’t properly introduced you to her before. Anyway, I still owe her a wedding ceremony. I’ll treat you to some wine when the time comes.”

Song Ci felt a little embarrassed.

“Big brother, I’m Song Ci. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Lu Gan and Lu Suo.”

Lu Gan only wanted to introduce Song Ci to Lu Heng. After he was done, he pulled Song Ci and Song Yujin to the side.

“Let’s give Little Suo some time.”

This was Lu Suo’s first time visiting Lu Heng and Fan Rui’s graves.

Lu Suo looked at his parents’ photos and tears welled up in his eyes. He called out in a low voice, “Daddy… Mommy…”

A cool wind blew past.

Lu Suo approached his parents’ tombstones and touched the photos.

“My uncle’s legs have recovered. He can stand up and walk now, just like before. Moreover, he’s married. Auntie Song is very good to us. They’re a loving couple, so don’t worry.”

Lu Suo continued, “I’ve got an older brother now. He’s rather quiet and cold, but he treats me very well. He knows how to coax me and keeps my secrets. Additionally, he tutors me. I got second place in the latest exams. The teacher gave me a certificate and Auntie Song hung it on the wall. By the way, I’ve changed schools. Soon, I’m going to be in second grade. I’m the youngest in my class, but also the smartest. Both of you would’ve been so proud…”

Lu Suo’s tears fell uncontrollably and his voice became choked.

“Mommy… Daddy… I miss the two of you so much… If only we could see each other again…”

Lu Suo leaned on the tombstones and sobbed softly. He dared not be too loud because Lu Gan might hear and become worried.

After calming himself down, Lu Suo wiped off his tears and smiled.

“I need to stop crying now. Otherwise, my uncle will find out…”

Lu Heng’s eyes were gentle, full of love and tolerance. Meanwhile, Fang Rui had a bright smile on her face. It was like they were quietly listening to Lu Suo.

“I’m leaving now. I’ll visit again next time.”

Lu Suo kissed his parents’ photos and walked towards Lu Gan.

A cool breeze blew past Lu Suo’s hair as if someone was gently stroking his head.
