Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah)

Chapter 132: The Last Tenderness Before Separation 2

Because the journey was a bit long, it was already noon when they arrived.

The former residence is in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and it's very busy with the crowds. Looking around, there is hustle and bustle everywhere, and Nan Xi suddenly felt a strong sense of closeness. They went to the grandparents' old house first. And standing in front of the door, Nan Xi was a little surprised.

The old house is made of green bricks, with the characteristics of the town. At a glance it looks very simple and plain, still maintaining the style decades ago, but it looks a bit old.

Lu Jianshen explained, "Grandparents used to live here, they got married here, and also gave birth to my father here."

"Although they got rich later, grandma was nostalgic for the old days and always felt that only the old mansion could hold the memories of her and grandpa's past, which were very precious, so thet kept the old mansion as it was, without renovating it."

"When grandma was still alive, we would always arrange to come over to spend a few days during the holidays, and then after she passed away, we came less because we were worried that grandpa would be sad when he saw the things, but we also came sometimes."

Nan Xi walked, step by step, walking inside.

She walked very slowly. Although the mansion is old, many door frames made of wood have lost their color, revealing the original color of the wood.

She likes this mansion extraordinarily.

Listening to Lu Jianshen telling the stories of grandparents in the old house, Nan Xi feels as if she has stepped into those years too.

When she went to the Lu family, the grandmother had already passed away.

So, she had never met the grandmother.

Even the photos, she had never seen.

When she entered the main entrance, the floor of the courtyard was paved with green stone tiles. Although it was a view that could be seen everywhere in the town, Nan Xi felt that it had a different charm. What surprised her was that there was a whole row of trees planted on the right side of the courtyard, verdant and lush. And on the left side of the courtyard, there was a small garden with all kinds of flowers, red, yellow and white, very bright and beautiful.

Nan Xi was surprised and happy to run over: "Wow, it's beautiful, how can there be flowers here? And they are blooming so well."

Lu Jianshen explained, "Although no one lives here, we hired someone to take care of it, who is in charge of daily cleaning of the house, and also has an important job of caring for these delicate flowers in you eyes carefully."

Nan Xi was a little puzzled and looked at Lu Jianshen in confusion.

He added: "After grandpa married grandma, he found that grandma loved flowers very much, but at that time the situation was difficult, so grandpa built a small garden in the courtyard and planted grandma's favorite flowers by himself, spring, summer, autumn and winter, for each season, just to let grandma see bright flowers all year round and be in a bright mood."

Nan Xi listened and felt tender, with her heart warmed.

Previously, she only heard him say that grandparents were very loving, grandpa loved grandma very much and was very protective of her.

Sometimes, she also heard some stories of grandparents from her mother-in-law, who always admired that grandma was so lucky to meet grandpa in her life. At that time, she still did not fully understand.

But this trip to the former residence, it was really an eye-opener for her, and really filled her with emotions.

With a light sigh, she looked at the old mansion and suddenly became particularly fond of it, particularly envious.

She envied the people who lived in this house, and envied the delicate, gentle, but stunning love story that had been passed down in this house for a lifetime.

These are what she longed for, but unfortunately, she was not as lucky as her grandmother, and was not destined to meet a person like her grandfather. That's why she became more envious.

Nan Xi walked over, she squatted by the small flower bed, put her tiny face close to the bright flowers, and then raised her eyes to Lu Jianshen: "Can you take a picture for me?" "Okay."

Lu Jianshen took out his phone, and the moment when the picture was framed, Nan Xi hooked her lips and smiled brightly.

This is the first time over the past few days that she has shown such a bright, moving smile.

Lu Jianshen looked at her dumbfounded, and at the same time he was even more sure that he had made a right decision to come, and it was worth it.

After taking pictures, Nan Xi went into the hall. There was a big photo frame on the cabinet in the hall, which was particularly eye-catching, and Nan Xi saw it as soon as she entered. Looking at the bright and beautiful young girl in the frame, brilliant as a flower, and the clothes and long soft hair on her, Nan Xi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this grandmother?" "Mm." Lu Jianshen nodded: "This is grandma when she was young."

"So young, so beautiful." Nan Xi couldn't help but exclaim.

......

Lu Jianshen picked up the photo and gently wiped it. In fact, there are someone wiping it every day, so it's very clean, and there's no dust at all, but he still wiped it lovingly for a while. Then he put it back to its original position: "Grandma married grandpa at the age of 18 and gave birth to my dad at the age of 20, this photo was taken shortly after they got married." "Grandma said, originally she and grandpa agreed to take a picture of each to frame their youth, due to the lack of money, grandpa agreed superficially, but he only paid the money for one person in fact, so in the end, only grandma took a picture, grandpa didn't."

"Then, this is the only picture of grandma when she was young?"

"Yes."

"In that case, given grandpa's character, he will definitely bring it around after grandma's death, how come I've never seen this photo in Lu family?"

Lu Jianshen nodded: "You're right, grandma knew that grandpa would definitely bring it around, so before she left, she specially asked to leave this photo here, so that grandpa couldn't bring it around and get more sad when see it."

"Grandpa promised us superficially, in fact ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Jianshen smiled, full of moving, and said: "The old man played a careful game. He shrunk grandma's photo, and made it into a very small card and carry in his pocket at all times." Nan Xi was also moved, how deep the feelings must be for a man to do so many things silently.

Now, she has nothing but envy.

The love back then, was so beautiful.

"Then how do you know?"

"One year, on the anniversary of grandma's death, grandpa drank extra wine and got drunk. Probably because he missed her too much, he took the picture of grandma out and told us about it." "However, none of us told grandpa, and he didn't know that we already knew."

"Grandma is so lucky." Nan Xi sighed with emotion.

Lu Jianshen looked at her: "Envious of grandma?"

Nan Xi nodded: "Of course. It's the kind of love and happiness that all girls in the world yearn for to have someone who is devoted to her for the rest of her life."

"And what about you?"

"Me?" Nan Xi pointed to herself and smiled lightly, "Me too, like them, I'm just an ordinary girl. Of course, I also want to have my own unique love and ......" "And what?" Lu Jianshen asked immediately.
