"Aunt, I am no longer taller." Rowan lost his smile.

Shu Xiaolei embarrassed narrowed eyes, touch his face, "is it? In menstruation‘s eyes, I still think you are a child."

The two men were sitting on the sofa. Shu Xiaolei held Rowan‘s hand tightly and saw that he could not see enough.

"49 cities have changed too much, I just came back, unexpectedly don‘t recognize here. I don‘t know if the shops that your mother and I used to go to are still there."

"The two old restaurants in the south of the city are still there. The one in the west of the city closed the year before and the boss went to Linshi."

"You still remember, good, good." Shu Xiaolei nodded with relief, "I want to see your mother tomorrow, will you accompany me?"

"Certainly, aunt, I will have the Champs－Elysees‘ apartment tidied up to－morrow, and you will stay for the time being."

"Good." After a pause, Shu Xiaolei added, "I don‘t need to tell your father about my return. I don‘t see anyone over there."

"Yes."

"Your father is still very good with her?"

Rowan‘s lip angle sipped slightly and said nothing.

Shu Xiaolei also knew, with a mocking smile, she patted Rowan on the back of her hand, "Forget it, whatever they do."

Accompanied by Shu Xiaolei for a while, Rowan got up to leave.

"Aunt, I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

"OK. Did you drive here?"

"Yes."

"Be careful on your way back and let me know when you get home."

"Yes, aunt, you go to bed early."

Out of the hotel, Rowan drove back to Claudia‘s apartment.

The car stopped downstairs. He pushed open the door to get off and leaned against the car to smoke.

One after another, by the time I recovered, I had smoked half a pack of cigarettes.

He turned over his wrist to reveal his wrist watch. At 10： 30, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Claudia‘s number.

She answered quickly and opened her mouth and asked Jiaochen, "Why haven‘t you come back yet?"

Rowan looked up at the lighted window and said in a heavy voice, "I won‘t go back tonight."

"What?" Claudia‘s tone immediately sounded displeased. "Are you not coming back?"

She looked at the food on a table and bit her lips lost. "Are you really not coming back?"

"Well, you go to bed early."

Rowan said, will hang up the line.

Claudia heard what he meant and hastily began to cry, "Rowan!"

The cell phone was pasted back to his ear, and he gave a low "um".

"You," she asked softly, licking the lower lip, "what can I do for you?"

"No."

"Really, didn‘t you?"

"Don‘t think about it, go to bed early."

This time, Rowan hung up neatly.

Claudia held his cell phone with a dark screen and was distracted.

Why, she suddenly felt very uneasy in her heart.

*

Cemetery.

The wind is blowing gently, and the wind is rustling.

Shu Xiaolei was wearing a long black dress and holding a bouquet of perfume lily, which was her sister Shu Xiaochen‘s favorite flower.

Behind her, slowly followed by Rowan in a black suit.

Finally arrived at Shu Xiaochen‘s tomb, just saw the black and white photo, Shu Xiaolei‘s tears suddenly fell.

"Sister." With a cry of biting her lips, she put down the bouquet and sat down in front of the tomb. "I came to see you. I‘m sorry, I haven‘t come for so long."

Rowan stood respectfully aside, her eyes fixed on the face of the 32－year－old woman forever.

Mom.

He cried in his heart.

Shu Xiaolei said a lot, saying that in her life abroad, there were some big things, some small things, no rules, and she said what she thought.

When she stopped, it was already past noon.

"Sister, am I too wordy? However, no one will talk with you, and you should also be lonely. I will stay for a period of time when I come back this time, and I will often come to accompany you. It is still expected to be comfortable. He is very good. You don‘t have to worry about him."

After sitting for a long time, Shu Xiaolei‘s legs were numb.

Rowan bent over to help her up, said goodbye to her mother, hugged her and slowly walked down the steps.

I took Shu Xiaolei to the old restaurant in the south of the city. The boss was not here and his daughter did not recognize Shu Xiaolei.

"My sister and I used to come here often. Your father made the best sweet and sour fish."
