Chapter 232: Back to Her Hometown
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
In the morning, the sunlight spilled into the room through the pink curtains and the two people on the bed finally woke up.
He Xiyan rubbed at her eyes and stretched out her hands that were as white as jade. As for her pajamas, she didn’t know where they had gone.
The romantic atmosphere from the night before still hung in the air.
She sat up and she was blushing furiously as though she had just completed the most intimate act between couples.
Last night had indeed been a beautiful night for them.
Using their bodies to express their love for each other was an exquisite experience and it was during this process that she truly felt that he really loved her and it wasn’t just lust. This was the first time she could feel someone’s love through such actions.
She couldn’t express this sensation in words; she just felt like it was a beautiful feeling.
“It’s time to get out of bed, Ye Hao...” He Xiyan gently patted the man beside her and looked at him lovingly.
Ye Hao wasn’t awake yet and had to blink his eyes hard a few times before he could open them.
He Xiyan brought out his clothes and laid out his shirt, suit, and tie. He looked as though he was on a business trip but she always felt that men looked the best and more mature when they suited up.
She changed into a black skirt and black leather shoes.
Black was solemn and serious, the color to be worn when paying respects to the deceased.
It was already 8:30 AM in the morning by the time they left. They went to eat breakfast first, then to the florist to buy two bouquets of flowers. They also purchased joss sticks and paper money as offerings to the dead.
Her parents were buried on a small hill behind their old home and it was more than 30 kilometers from Liuyang City so they still had to take a 30 minutes car ride to get there.
He Xiyan looked at the scenery of her hometown from the windows. Her hometown was quiet and beautiful with lush mountains and clear springs. Every mountain was full of vegetation and there were no signs of the vegetation being destroyed. There were more people than farm land here, so every household was only allocated 0.6 to 1.2 hectares of land. The land was too limited, so the locals mostly didn’t grow cash crops like cotton. Instead, they grew vegetables on the land.
It was now spring and the flowers were blooming, so rapeseed flowers could be seen everywhere. As the sunlight splashed onto these golden flowers, they looked even more beautiful and dazzling. He Xiyan really loved this piece of land and each time she came back, she had an urge to draw this scenery to record this scene.
The car finally stopped in front of a two-storied small building.
It was a brick house but had been empty for more than ten years and looked very old, completely unlike the new small bungalows and mansions built by the newer inhabitants.
He Xiyan got out the car and pointed to the small hill behind the house and said, “It’s just behind around 70 meters by foot from here.”
Then, she asked Ye Hao to carry whatever they bought earlier up the hill. The path up the hill was rather flat and a cement pathway had also been constructed, so it wasn’t difficult to climb. Over here, people tended to be buried after they passed away so most of the locals would be buried in the hills after they passed away.
Ye Hao had climbed many famous mountains but this was the first time he came to a small hill that was only 100 meters high. To him, this wasn’t considered a mountain but a small hill.
There were many peach trees planted on this hill and they were all in bloom. As a gentle breeze blew by, their petals would fall and scatter, and a fragrant scent wafted through the air. This would immediately cause one to feel refreshed and energized.
As expected, the air quality in the village was good.
“It’s over there, Ye Hao...” He Xiyan pointed at a small forked path and he could see two graves nearby at the end of the path.
Ye Hao held He Xiyan as they carefully walked toward the graves.
However, when they arrived, they were stunned and looked at each other in surprise.
