 Chapter 132: Turns Out, They Knew Each Other So Early

Jiang Chenchen nodded. Seeing her reaction, Sheng Mingsi's expression subtly changed, and he asked, "Aren't you curious about where we're going?" "It's still early; wherever you go, I'll go." She added, "I just want to be with you." The impact of her words was overwhelming, with both her gaze and words being straightforward. It shook him internally, but he maintained a composed expression. His gaze deepened, "It's not a fun place. Will you still come with me?" "Yes, I'll come with you." Sheng Mingsi's gaze became profound, his aura intensifying as he took her hand. "Get in the car." The driver took them to a place. The journey was long and gradually secluded. Finally, they stopped. The weather was beautiful, with a bright and sunny spring day. Yet, the place they arrived at was somber and shadowy. It was a cemetery. The grave of Sheng Mingsi's father, Gu Xiechang. His mother hated him to the extent that she refused to let him have a tombstone, even wanting his remains to sink into the water. Constructing a grave was his final act, providing a place for his deceased father. Buried and left with a tombstone. Apart from him, nobody came to visit. When Gu Qinhua chose his father, he was just an orphan without any relatives. Gu Mingmei wouldn't visit him either, as his mother forbade it. Gu Qinhua didn't allow them to visit and commemorate here. The designated burial site was her greatest kindness. However, this time, Sheng Mingsi still came. "Today is his birthday. He never celebrated it while alive, and since he's gone, let's consider this the last time. Forget it." He wouldn't come back here again. Although his childhood memories of his father were good, he ultimately betrayed the family. Even though he wouldn't harbor hatred like his mother and go crazy, this was the last time he would cut ties with the past. Therefore, his father, who betrayed their family before dying, also abandoned them. He only remembered that woman in the end. Jiang Chenchen now understood that he was talking about his father, the person who was once in the same mental hospital as her. At that time, she didn't care about anyone or anything and didn't know that this person would turn out to be Sheng Mingsi's father. Otherwise, she might have found time to talk to him, just like Sheng Mingsi did when he wanted her to perceive everything anew. So, would he have hesitated to commit suicide on that day, after gazing at the night sky? She couldn't imagine because the person was already dead. Feeling a bit sad, she also thought of her own parents. In that night of flames, her mother asked her to live on, go to where she should go. Where was that? She stood silently beside Sheng Mingsi. In front of the tombstone without a photo, only a name, there was a moment of silence. "Chenchen." He called her name, and in this deserted place, his voice was low and heavy. Jiang Chenchen softly replied, "Yes." Sheng Mingsi stood tall, his figure still, and his tone fluctuated, "Do you know why I brought you here? Because, alone, I might not have the courage to come here and formally bid farewell to the past." He exposed his vulnerable side, his eyes and words revealing a touch of despair and sorrow. Since his father's betrayal of the family, life had been unpleasant. It even created a significant psychological shadow, and even now, he wouldn't celebrate his birthday. All of this was because of his father's actions. But people had to face things eventually, learn to let go, because he also wanted to cross this hurdle. He hoped to sit down on the next birthday, have someone sing him a birthday song, close his eyes to make a wish, and fill his heart with hope, like any ordinary person. He hoped to move beyond the darkness. Jiang Chenchen stood by his side, casting a sidelong glance at him with straightforward yet determined eyes. "Brother Ah Si, when you don't have the courage, I'll give you courage. I am your courage from now on." Her speech became increasingly fluent, with a smooth flow between sentences, making her appear less hesitant than before. Although her facial expressions didn't show much emotional fluctuation naturally, looking into her eyes, he could feel ample strength. This was courage. Sheng Mingsi reached out to pat her head, temporarily setting aside his cold and tough exterior. He nodded slightly, his gaze lowered towards her. "Thank you. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me." Jiang Chenchen, upon hearing this, became slightly excited. It seemed like she was recalling a scene from the past. "Brother Ah Si knew each other long ago. When I was six years old, I saw you. You gave me ice cream, and you smiled at me. The sun was so bright that day, and your smile under the sunlight was probably the most beautiful I've ever seen." Unfortunately, she couldn't dwell on the past too much. Thinking about her parents in the fire would only bring sadness. But today, in front of his father's grave, she wouldn't let her sorrow show. Sheng Mingsi found it somewhat unbelievable. "Is that so? Turns out, we knew each other so early." He didn't remember at all. Perhaps after that, experiencing a bloody and shadowy scene made him forget about this past incident. "On the way back, I'll buy you ice cream." Jiang Chenchen's eyes sparkled. "Really? Can I eat it?" Sheng Mingsi met her gaze, deep and intense like liquid. "Yes, I'm not lying to you." On the way back, Jiang Chenchen said, "Brother Ah Si, you should come back here in the future. I'll come with you." "This is the last time; I won't come again." "Why? Don't you like your dad?" Sheng Mingsi looked out of the car window and paused for a moment. "Probably." Jiang Chenchen didn't ask further. It seemed like both their parents had done things that made them sad. Even though she didn't know the reasons, the recent interactions and awakening of consciousness made her realize that there were all kinds of people in this world, including those she had encountered before – people she considered despicable. ... They returned home, and Wu Bi brought the latest brand-name haute couture, not yet on the market, for the grand occasion. Even the most famous stars couldn't borrow it for attending the ceremony. Wu Bi wondered if it was necessary to wear something so extravagant for a classmate's birthday, treating her the same as her classmate. He directly sent the dress over. After trying on the dress from her home wardrobe, Jiang Chenchen came out. Sheng Mingsi instructed Wu Bi to find out about the events at the cemetery that day and who sent the flowers. So, she didn't pay much attention when she came out. It was only when the person approached that she raised her eyes to look. Her gaze became fixed.
