Chapter 1030: That’s Your Brother… Or Sister
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wan stood next to the tombstone that was no longer brand new, and next to Jiang Xuecheng.
And in front of the two of them, there was a baby carriage covered with a cloth.
Although the weather was good today, there was still some dust here due to the serious ecological damage.
With a solemn expression, Su Wan placed the white lily bouquet in front of the tombstone.
She reached out her hand and wiped the words on the tombstone.
–the tomb of Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan’s beloved child.
Dear baby, mommy and daddy are going to leave here. I hope you can forgive mommy and daddy’s selfishness, okay?
If there is an afterlife, I hope you can reincarnate into a happy and healthy family.
If… if you don’t mind, we are still willing to be your parents.
Su Wan prayed silently in her heart, and a fine and dense pain flashed through her heart.
There was fog at the corners of her eyes, but no tears fell.
She had thought of giving this child a name, but she didn’t even know the gender, let alone what name she could give.
…
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s sorrowful look, he knew that she was moved by the scene.
That child… was a knot in their hearts that they would never forget.
His gaze lingered on the large words on the stone tablet, and the corners of his thin lips could not help but overflow with a sigh.
He could not imagine at all what kind of mood Su Wan had when she erected this tombstone?
Was it guilt? Was It sadness? Was it resentment? or something else…
He was wrong…
But even though he understood the sins he had committed in the past, he could no longer make up for it.
Jiang Xuecheng reached out his hand, took off his suit jacket, and put it on Su Wan.
“It’s cold here…”
Seeing Su Wan turn around, her dark almond eyes were misty, and Jiang Xuecheng suddenly felt speechless.
His thin lips moved, and he barely managed to squeeze out these words.
“If the child is in heaven, it probably wouldn’t want to see us so sad.”
What kind of eyes and personality would that child, who had never seen the prosperity of the world, have?
Jiang Xuecheng didn’t dare to think further.
However, Jiang Xuecheng felt that if the child was really here, it would be more like Su Wan, like his mother, gentle, tenacious, and with good intentions.
Su Wan reached out to take the suit jacket that Jiang Xuecheng handed over and smiled bitterly.
Her eyes were a little dim, but she did not know what she could say.
In the end, a thousand words could only be said with these few words.
“I want to stay here for a while longer.”
In the future, she would not have the chance to come here again.
Even though Su Wan knew best that this was just a tombstone, even the child who died prematurely had not worn the clothes that she had bought.
Because she did not know the gender, Su Wan had buried a few sets of both boy and girl clothes, as well as all kinds of gadgets that could be used by children.
It seemed like some sort of compensation, but ultimately it was actually just a means for the living to deceive themselves.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s sad look, he was silent for a moment. Finally, he reached out and brushed Su Wan’s hair by her temples.
“Okay, let’s stay here for a while.”
Jiang Xuecheng had never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, he really hoped that there was a mysterious existence like reincarnation.
Would that child still be willing to come to their home?
Jiang Xuecheng slowly squatted down and displayed the cute fruits in the fruit basket.
He took out a small rabbit that he had bought at the cemetery management station and placed it in front of the bouquet of white lilies. It looked lively and cute.
After doing all this, Jiang Xuecheng stood up.
He looked at Su Wan and discussed in a low voice.
“Wan Wan, when we go back, we can also buy a tomb in S City. We can also visit it often in the future to express our grief…”
Jiang Xuecheng thought that this suggestion would make Su Wan feel better, but just as he said it, he saw Su Wan shake her head violently.
She rejected him without hesitation.
“No.”
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned when he heard that. He did not understand why Su Wan was so agitated when she rejected him.
“Why?”
Su Wan’s face was slightly pale. She stretched out her hand and leaned against the tombstone.
“It’s enough for the two of us to remember these injuries.”
Su Wan said it tactfully, but Jiang Xuecheng suddenly reacted.
Yes, if they went back and erected the tombstone in S City, what would they say?
They had long planned to keep quiet about what happened in this world and pretend that nothing had happened.
As for this child, even if it was a nameless tombstone, what would his grandporents and parents think?
He and Su Wan had lost a child, and they had also lost a family member who was connected by blood.
Why would they let so many people experience such pain together?
In a daze, Jiang Xuecheng could not help but turn around and look at the light blue baby carriage.
“Wan Wan, what should we say about Qiran when we go back?”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. She was so immersed in the grief of losing her son that she almost forgot that she and Jiang Xuecheng had even adopted such a baby.
Su Wan walked to the light blue baby carriage and reached out her hand to remove the embroidered cloth cover.
After this period of nurturing, Jiang Qiran looked a little more round than before, but he still didn’t seem to weigh much.
The little child seemed to have just woken up. He looked at Su Wan with his black and white eyes, as if there were stars flowing in his eyes.
It was strange that this child didn’t seem to cry much, and he didn’t make any noise when he woke up.
Su Wan had been worrying about how to take care of the child, but when she raised Jiang Qiran with her own hands, she realized that children could also be so carefree.
“Ah… hmm…”
Jiang Qiran blinked his big eyes as if he was wondering why Su Wan kept staring at him.
He stretched out his thin and short hand as if he was begging Su Wan to carry him out of the stroller.
Su Wan was amused by Jiang Qiran’s babbling and confused look, and the grief that she had felt before also dissipated by sixty to seventy percent.
Although the wind and sand were a little strong here, it shouldn’t be a problem to hold Jiang Qiran for a while, right?
Su Wan reached out her hand and carried Jiang Qiran out.
Su Wan carried him and then grabbed the child’s short hand, pointing at the tombstone in front of her.
“Qiran, that’s your brother… No, it might be your sister too. We’re going to leave this place soon. Qiran, can you wave to your brother or sister?”
Jiang Qiran listened to Su Wan’s words in a daze. He did not understand what Su Wan meant at all.
However, when he saw Su Wan waving her hand, he also followed suit and waved his little arm.
The little child’s eyes were pure and innocent. His pink lips were curved, and he had a smile that did not understand the world.
It was as if he had dispelled the sadness that filled the cemetery…
