I opened the envelope tremblingly, and the letter reads:
********************
Dear son:
Please forgive my mother for leaving without saying goodbye. I am really afraid of the pain caused by separation.
Remember when I told you?
In this world, there is a city that I dream of, and I think I will go there in the end.
Actually, I have thought that if I travel around the world with you and spend the rest of my life in Edinburgh, I know that if I ask, you will accompany me without hesitation, even if you are not so interested.
Time only helps people grow old, but does not believe in being passionate.
Eternal regret leaves the Pavilion.
Tears drop in spring clothes and wine are easy to sober up.
The happiness you brought to me is actually far greater than the so-called pain you call it. You don’t have to question this, mom is not comforting you.
I really felt overwhelmed about the time when you were most disobedient, and I had doubted whether my education was a failure. Judging from the results, it was not the case.
Of course, I still failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother, otherwise I would not have talked to you through letters.
I hope you can forgive me and treat my departure as an equivalent exchange that I indulged you so many times.
I know you have always had a question you can't let go, and now I can tell you the answer: I've loved it.
As for why I left you, you can think about it this way. Mom chose to leave because she was afraid that she would be unable to control herself if she stayed by her side, or to be satisfied.
So, I hope you can let go of everything and give each other a relief.
If I figure it out one day in the future, I will come back to find you.
After reading this letter, remember to burn them to ashes and don't let anyone know about the matter between us.Finally, I want you to fulfill your two promises:
Don't try to find my whereabouts.
Still one short?Then let’s add one more: I want you to live a happy and happy life.
I love your mom forever
********************
I read the letter left by my mother calmly, and no words could describe my mood at this moment. I looked at Wang Xinran again, and a sad expression appeared on her face and said: Mom said that you should not let you read this letter, do you... still want to read it?
I shook my head and followed my mother's instructions to silently burn the two letters to ashes.
Half a year later, that morning, I came to the balcony and lit a cigarette.
I originally thought that the days without my mother were very painful, and I would not be able to withstand this blow and fall wildly. I never expected that except for the empty hearts in the first few days, I would not feel any sadness later.
On the contrary, I was more concerned about work and was favored by my leaders. I took me to senior leaders' meetings more than once.
If mom knew that I was acting so well, she would have been very happy.
I kept my promise and didn't ask anything about my mother.
I sincerely wish my mother that she can regain her youthful ideal in Edinburgh and find a prince charming who loves her deeply.
A cigarette was burned out quickly, and I lit one again. As soon as I took a sip, I was pinched off the corner of my mouth by two fair and slender fingers.
Why are you smoking again?Wang Xinran looked at me with a pity, and I hurriedly dispersed the smoke in the air with my hands.
Why are you getting up? Come into the house quickly and don’t let the smoke enter your stomach. It’s not good for the child.I helped Wang Xinran, who was half-large, back into the house. I was about to become my father.
I cooked a pot of nutritious porridge for Wang Xinran, caressed her pregnant belly with love, and said: You must protect your body recently, try to go out as little as possible, stay at home, and ensure that our baby is born in this world smoothly.
Wang Xinran pouted and said: But I'm so bored that I've been staying at home. Can you accompany me for a walk today?
Where do you want to go?
Chahai Park, today is the Lighting Festival, I want to go and have a walk.
Lighting Festival?My thoughts returned to high school. Many years ago today, I lit the so-called lantern with my mother, and I even kissed her under the stars.
Today is a holiday, and I agreed to Wang Xinran. I went with her until the afternoon. After so many years, it has not changed at all. There are people coming and going, it is so lively. I just looked at the steep hillside and I hesitated a little: You are pregnant and it is not good to climb the mountain, why don’t we just stroll down the mountain?
Wang Xinran shook her head and refused and begged: But I really want to light the lights.
OK, let's go slowly.I supported Wang Xinran and walked to the tea sea garden in the middle of the mountain.
Take a look.
Pure handmade lanterns, handsome guys take a look?
The familiar shouts reminded me of the interesting things that happened when I was choosing lanterns with my mother. I ran into Wang Xinran at that time. I grabbed my mother's hand and ran away from here in a mess. This scene made me laugh out loud. Wang Xinran said in confusion: What are you laughing at?
I thought of something that made me happy.
After walking along the street for a long time, Wang Xinran finally chose the lantern that satisfies her. Then we came to a quiet spot lighting place. I took out the lighter from my trouser bag and was about to light the wick, but I made two identical mistakes.
You wait until nine o'clock before you can click!Wang Xinran hurriedly stopped me, and then I remembered that my mother once asked me to activate another nine o'clock.
I was about to ask, but Wang Xinran said again: Take out your phone and look forward to the time.
I did what I said, and waited until nine o'clock, and the wicks were lit again, and the warm lanterns were flying slowly.Immediately afterwards, countless lanterns followed illuminated the night sky, which was very beautiful and romantic.
I turned my head to look at Wang Xinran, and she glanced at me shyly, then closed her eyes and raised her head.
It seems unreasonable to not kiss such a romantic scene. I blocked the back of her neck with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist. When I was about to kiss, I suddenly remembered something.
Ranran, what does these nine-point lights and kissing mean?
Wang Xinran opened her affectionate eyes and said softly: It is rumored that on the Lighting Festival, couples who successfully lit the lanterns at 9 pm and kissed under the starry sky can receive the blessing of the God of Lanterns. The two will stay together for a long time.
I was struck by lightning, frozen in place.
Wang Xinran stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss my lips.
