Chapter 132: Leave Chen Zhuo to me

Chapter 132 Leave Chen Zhuo to me

After two hours of driving, the Jeep arrived at a cemetery in the distant suburbs of Jiangbei.

Xie Yu got out of the car first and opened an umbrella.

The pattering rain hit the umbrella surface, dripping along the edge onto the cement ground, splashing into small water droplets, soaking the trouser legs.

The wind blew, bringing a chill.

Xie Yu went around to the passenger seat, opened the door, tilted the umbrella, and said softly, “Little Zhuo’er, we’re here, let’s get out of the car.”

Chen Zhuo was holding a bouquet of carnations in his arms. He looked up at Xie Yu and smiled, bent down, got out of the car, and stepped onto the ground with a shallow layer of water.

The dark green pine and cypress trees on both sides swayed in the wind and rain, guarding the souls all over the mountains.

Xie Yu put his arm around Chen Zhuo’s shoulder and walked towards the depths on the bluestone steps. After turning two corners, he stopped in front of a tombstone.

The tombstone was washed clean by the rain. In the slightly faded portrait inlaid on it, the smiles of the couple were still bright. They were only in their early thirties, with great years ahead of them, but they were sleeping forever in the cold underground.

Xie Yu’s eyes were sore. He saw the last line of the inscription on the right side of the tombstone: “Erected by filial son Chen Zhuo.”

He couldn’t imagine how Chen Zhuo, who was only nine years old, accepted the fact that his parents left the world in such a tragic scene.

How he saved himself from nightmares again and again, spent countless rainy days, grew up strong, and appeared in front of him.

Chen Zhuo swallowed the lump in his throat, bent down, and placed the equally bright and beautiful bouquet of carnations in front of the tombstone.

He gently wiped the rain marks on the portrait with his hand and said with difficulty: “Dad, Mom, I’m here, take a good look at me, I’ve grown up.”

Xie Yu held an umbrella for him with one hand, and placed the offerings he brought with the other hand, which were some fruits and snacks.

Two hours ago, when going to the mall to buy things, Chen Zhuo told him sadly: “Actually, I don’t remember what kind of food my parents liked very much. Every time I go to the supermarket, I only know to clamor for buying what I like to eat. The dishes my mother made were also what I liked.”

At that time, Xie Yu touched his head and said, “That’s because you were too young at that time, it’s normal if you don’t remember. Besides, as long as it’s what you bought, no matter what, your aunt and uncle will like it.”

Chen Zhuo saw Xie Yu’s half of his shoulder being wet by the rain. He reached out and held the umbrella handle in Xie Yu’s hand and moved it towards him.

He wiped the dust in the carved letters of the tombstone with a handkerchief and said, “Mom and Dad, this is Xie Yu, the son of Aunt Cheng and Uncle Xie, and also my…boyfriend.”

As if thinking of something, he smiled: “Speaking of which, you should have seen him. When we were young, Aunt Cheng exchanged our photos with you. I heard that when we were still in our mother’s womb before we were born, we were also betrothed from the womb. Fate is really wonderful.”

Xie Yu bent down slightly, revealing the ring on his ring finger, and corrected Chen Zhuo’s statement: “Hello Uncle and Aunt, I am Xie Yu, Chen Zhuo’s fiancé. After graduation, we will register abroad.”

Chen Zhuo hadn’t heard him mention this plan. He tilted his head to look at him: “Are we going to register abroad?”

Xie Yu raised his eyebrows: “Otherwise? Don’t you plan to be responsible for me? You’d better think carefully about what you’re going to say in front of your parents.”

Chen Zhuo glanced at him and smiled: “You’re quick to change your words. I don’t know if my parents agree with you, this…daughter-in-law husband.”

Xie Yu took the handkerchief from Chen Zhuo’s hand and wiped the tombstone clean, “Silence means agreement, right? Mom and Dad.”

The two people in the photo were still smiling, as if they were gently watching the two children in front of them.

The wind blew through the pine and cypress trees, making a “rustling” sound. A tender yellow wild flower was rolled by the wind and rain and landed on Xie Yu’s shoulder. He proudly pinched the small flower and shook it in front of Chen Zhuo: “See, they agreed.”

Chen Zhuo’s eyes were red, and he nodded heavily: “Yes.”

The temperature in the suburbs is much lower than in the city, a little cold.

Chen Zhuo poured a glass of sake and sprinkled it on the ground, “Mom and Dad, I will live a good life, I’ll go first, I’ll come to see you another day.”

“Leave Chen Zhuo to me. From now on, every day, I will make him happy.” Xie Yu looked at the portrait on the tombstone and said in his heart.

The two held hands and walked along the winding path towards the exit.

The sound of wind and rain fell behind them, and the distant green mountains were lush, blooming with a ray of light.

The child who ran to the cemetery in the middle of the night and cried holding his parents’ tombstones had grown up.

“Achoo—”

As soon as Xie Yu got into the car, he sneezed three times in a row.

Chen Zhuo quickly turned on the air conditioner and urged him to take off his wet clothes, worried: “Did you catch a cold? Be careful of catching a cold. I’ll cook ginger soup for you when we get back. Let me drive.”

Xie Yu felt a little embarrassed, rubbed his nose, and pretended to be strong: “It’s okay, it was just the wind blowing. With your husband’s physique, how could I catch a cold so easily, a—choo—”

Xie Yu: “………..”

Chen Zhuo picked up the thin blanket from the back seat of the car and wiped him, feeling guilty: “I’m sorry, I made you come out with me on a rainy day. I knew I should have brought two umbrellas. Your body is wet.”

Xie Yu’s umbrella was always tilted towards him, so he was only blown by a little rain and was very dry.

Xie Yu fastened his seat belt and started the Jeep: “What are you talking about? It’s your parents’ death anniversary, of course I have to come. This is considered meeting the parents. It’s just a sneeze, it’s really okay.”

In the evening, Little Xie, who had a fever of 38.5 degrees, wrapped himself in the quilt, held a thermometer in his mouth, and asked pitifully:

“Wife, could it be that my aunt and uncle don’t agree with this marriage? I knew I shouldn’t have changed my words. Do they think I’m frivolous?”

Chen Zhuo smilingly took out the thermometer from his mouth and looked at it: “Stop talking nonsense, you’re just cold. Fortunately, the fever isn’t too bad. Take a pill. If it doesn’t work, go to the hospital for an injection.”

Xie Yu rarely gets sick. At this moment, he was a little listless and nervous: “Really? Is it really not because they didn’t like me?”

Chen Zhuo helped him sit up and leaned against the head of the bed, handed him the medicine and warm water, and watched him take the antipyretic medicine, “Our Young Master Xie is so handsome, my parents are appearance-oriented, they like you too much to even make it in time. Stop thinking nonsense.”

Xie Yu drank the whole glass of water with his hand, leaned in his arms, and said languidly: “That makes sense, they must like me very much, I’m just cold, I can just take medicine, I’m not going to get an injection.”

Chen Zhuo touched Xie Yu’s head, coaxing a child: “The ginger soup in the pot is almost ready. You have to drink it all later, sweat it out, and you won’t need an injection if the fever goes down.”

Xie Yu rubbed against his neck and muttered, “Then put more sugar for me, otherwise it’ll be too spicy for me to drink.”

“Okay~”

Chen Zhuo smiled and pinched Xie Yu’s earlobe, “Why do you act spoiled when you’re sick? So cute, let me kiss you.”

Xie Yu raised his head, grabbed Chen Zhuo’s neck, received a long kiss, and smiled wickedly: “Do you want to taste me at 38 degrees?”

Chen Zhuo snorted and smiled, “Thank you, I’m not interested.”
