An Inconspicuous Shooting Star

"As long as you want, I will always be with you."

Huo Sheng mentioned to Cheng Yan that there was something to do on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, but Cheng Yan thought it might be work and family affairs, but he never thought that this day would be Xiaoman's mother's death day.

On the early morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there were not many people on the street. When I went downstairs, a thin layer of ice formed on the car.

The cemetery where Xiaoman's mother is located is on the outskirts of the city. After waking up in the morning, Cheng Yan deliberately changed a darker sweater and put it on her body, and went out with Huo Sheng.

Although Cheng Yan didn't care about Huo Sheng's past, or that he was completely willing to accept everything about Huo Sheng, but because he had experienced his father's affairs, he would feel unexpectedly heavy about the death of his family.Therefore, along the way, he was observing Huo Sheng's emotions without restraint. He was afraid that Huo Sheng would think of something, and felt sad.

But compared to him, Huo Sheng may be really much stronger. After all, if he remembers correctly, Huo Sheng seems to have said that Xiaoman’s mother died two years ago. If this is placed on him, He may not be able to get out of it yet.

But the person in front of him is not like him. Whether it is to buy flowers, sweep the tomb, and then go down the mountain, Huo Sheng's expression is slightly more serious than usual from beginning to end, but he does not show any sadness. This makes Cheng Yan was very puzzled, but couldn't speak.

He didn't ask, but Huo Sheng seemed to have thought about it early.

Not long after the two returned home, Huo Sheng said one step ahead of him: "Would you like to see the photos of Xiaoman when he was a child?"

"Huh?" Cheng Yan was a little surprised, and paused for a while: "Well, good."

Seeing him answer, Huo Sheng got up and went to the study to get a heavy photo album.

Cheng Yan sat on the sofa, took it and spread it on his lap.Then, just like the predictions that he had quickly thought about in his mind during these few seconds, he saw the woman he had seen in the photo.

The woman's appearance is the same as the one in the photo, she looks three-point similar to Huo Xiaoman, with a high ponytail, and the baby Xiaoman smiles happily.

He looked at such a person, and did not hold back, gently rubbing the edge of the photo with his fingertips.

He flipped the page gently, looking at the photos afterwards, intending to find other group photos, but to his surprise, except for the first few photos with Xiaoman and her mother, most of them were Xiao Man's personal photos, and I didn't even see a few photos of Huo Sheng and Xiao Man.

Cheng Yan couldn't help but was full of doubts, but some did not dare to ask him, but only left the photo on that page and didn't turn it over.

But Huo Sheng seemed to have guessed what he was thinking early in the morning and directly asked his question.

Then, when he looked at the other person, the man twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and explained to him softly: "I took those photos. Later, when I found that there were few group photos left, Xiao Man was already there. Growing up, it’s not the same as before."

"That..." Cheng Yan asked hesitantly, "Why..."

"Do you want to ask," Huo Sheng said, "Why are there no pictures of Xiaoman's mother at the back except for the first page? Most of them are only Xiaoman, or I occasionally show up."

"Yeah." Cheng Yan nodded, but in the next second, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, but he thought of something, suddenly he said: "Actually, you don't need to tell me, I actually don't care about it. "

Hearing these words, Huo Sheng was stunned for a moment. When people saw Cheng Yan looking at him in such a stunned manner, he turned and pulled the corner of his mouth again, and took the other party’s hand from the sofa, holding it. Live and say: "No, whether you care or not, I think you should tell you."

"Before," Huo Sheng continued, "Before, I wanted to tell you, but I didn't find the right opportunity."

"Yeah." Cheng Yan replied in a low voice, and then asked: "So, why? Why...there is no picture of Xiaoman's mother behind."

"That's because she and I divorced when we were one and a half years old." Huo Sheng lowered his eyes and said, "How do you say, it's a different choice."

Huo Sheng said indifferently, "Actually, there are some problems between me and her. I knew each other from college and then went to the workplace. By the 27th, I felt that it was appropriate, so I naturally chose to get married."

"Of course," he laughed suddenly, "this sounds a bit strange, it's like getting married casually, but it's not, it's still emotional."

"Well, what then?" Cheng Yan looked sideways at him.

Huo Sheng continued: "After getting married, it was good at the beginning. Both of them were working. At that time, they were still working in the previous company. The large company was busy. The two of them were squeezing time to live. Later, with Xiaoman, it was always necessary. Someone compromised and wanted to spare time to spend time with the children. So I changed my job and came to the place where I met you later."

"That..." Cheng Yan said hesitantly, "Isn't that good?"

"Sounds great. At that time... I felt the same way." Huo Sheng smiled, "I didn't want to keep doing it there, although the company has a better future. It's just that she is probably a good guy. People, I am more inclined to live a normal life."

In ordinary days, Cheng Yan whispered in his heart.

"I think it's plain and plain, and it's good here." Huo Sheng said: "But she is better and stronger than me, so she chose to go abroad. I felt that the child was so small and she was leaving again. There were no other things to do. Balance, so..."

"So you are separated." Cheng Yan said.

"Yes, what she mentioned is in line with my thoughts." Huo Sheng looked at him and said, "So, we are also separated peacefully, but I didn't expect that she would encounter it on the way to the airport in those few months. Car accident. I was a little surprised and sad when I first heard about the news, but now I look away."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan was silent, and said nothing more.

It is true that he is not such a strong person, and may not understand all of Xiaoman's mother's thoughts to a certain extent, but he can somewhat understand Huo Sheng's wish to live a normal life, just like this two people take their children and keep going.

Therefore, when the night is quiet a few hours after they have finished these conversations.

Hearing the steady breathing sound behind him, Cheng Yan couldn't help but turned sideways, holding the other's hand, and then said something inaudible against the silhouette of the moonlight.

He said: "I will be with you."

He said: "As long as you want, I will always be with you."
