Chapter 94 Return to Dust

  The rain that had stopped for a long time started again at this moment, with fine and lingering rain that was not enough to wet the clothes, but made people's hearts feel damp. The funeral had ended, and people placed the white chrysanthemums in their hands in front of the grave, dispersing in twos and threes.

  Xi Xi stood still, the crowd in front of her gradually dispersing. She clearly saw the appearance of the tombstone. As soon as she thought that Lu Dongqi would be sleeping in this small piece of land from now on, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

  A handsome young man, who should be growing up carefree, has returned to dust at such a good age.

  He yearned for light, but was deeply buried in darkness.

  Lu Dongqi should belong to the sky of Liaoyuan, belong to the vast ocean, but not to this dark coffin. Xi Xi had an impulse to take him away, but the impulse was just an impulse, she didn't have such qualifications, or rather, every person present was more qualified than her to decide Lu Dongqi's final resting place, yet those who had such qualifications didn't understand Lu Dongqi at all.

  Sunny walked to Xi Xi's side, handed her the flowers in his hand, and said gently: "Go give them to him, Princess Sisi sent these flowers, Dong Qi will definitely be happy."

  Xixi smiled palely and shook her head lightly, "I was never a princess." She gazed at the pure white flowers, so gentle and warm, just like the departed youth.

  "You are his princess." Sunny placed her hand on Xixi's shoulder, trying to give her strength in this way. Her gaze swept over Xixi's hair, which was wet from the fine rain, and she remembered the scene when she first met her. At that time, Xia Xixi was explaining to her in a confused manner about who Xixi was and who Cici was, leaving her bewildered. In the end, it was Lu Dongqi who whispered in her ear "You are his princess."

  She is my princess. Sunny clearly saw the gentleness in Dong Qi's eyes, a tenderness different from his usual aloofness, which he only gave to Xia Xi.

  What a pity for such beautiful and pure feelings.

  Xi Xi walked forward, bent down and placed the flowers in front of Lu Dong Qi's grave, took a deep look at his frozen beautiful face in the photo, from then on they were separated by heaven and earth, and there was no more Lu Dong Qi in this world.

  Leaving the cemetery, Qi Hong drove to send Xia Xi back home. Sunny was afraid that she might not express herself clearly and say something wrong, so she didn't come along. She repeatedly reminded Qi Hong to comfort Xia Xi well.

  All the way, Xi Xi silently looked out of the window, occasionally catching a glimpse of Qi Hong's eyebrows and eyes through the rearview mirror, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking she saw Lu Dong Qi, although they didn't look very similar, but her longing was too strong, just a little bit, enough to make her heart flutter.

  "Everyone will leave this world, it's just a matter of time. Lu Dongqi is just ahead of us by a bit." Qi Hong looked through the rearview mirror and saw Xia Xixi staring at him with an odd expression, so he spoke to comfort her.

  "I know, thank you." She nodded silently.

  Qī Hóng sighed inwardly, after all, she was still a young girl who hadn't learned to hide her emotions, and her sadness, joy, and sorrow were all clearly written on her face. He subconsciously touched his own face, his programmed smile, his programmed calmness, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he last reflected the fluctuations of emotion.

  Even if it's a good younger cousin who has passed away, the grief in his heart is only secretly endured. He admires Lu Dongqi very much. The children of the Qi family have been given high expectations since they were young. Growing up in such a family, they possess the same qualities: excellence, coldness, and aloofness.

  Lu Dongqi was braver than him, he knew how to plan for his own future, if it wasn't for this unexpected event, he should have gone to the other side of the ocean as he wished and chosen his own path.

  Qī Hóng sighed, he was the only son of the Qī family, destined to live a life not of his own will.

  Qī Hóng thought, Lù Dōng Qī would like this kind of girl, as simple and clean as white paper, completely unguarded, allowing people to see through her heart at a glance. Xià Xī's simplicity was precious for people like him and Lù Dōng Qī who grew up in complex environments. People always yearn for what they don't have.

  He asked Xia Xixi, "Are you and Dong Qi very close?"

  "Very good." Xi Xi replied briefly.

  "The passionate emotions of youth are always hard to forget, don't be too sad, for there will be someone more suitable who appears, and there will be someone better than Dong Qi to accompany you." It's really a headache to comfort girls of this age, they already understand things clearly but still have a childish air about them. Adolescent girls are the most inexplicable creatures in the world.

  However, Qi Hong'an was comforting and familiar with people, young and mixed in the official circle, he had already learned to deal with all kinds of people, speaking human language when seeing humans, and speaking ghost language when seeing ghosts, his ability was not ordinary strong.

  Xi Xi just nodded, without refuting or responding verbally. She should have explained her relationship with Lu Dong Qi, but what's the point of explaining? The person is already gone, whether she likes him or not, and whether he likes her or not, it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, his name has been deeply etched in her heart.

  The car arrived at Xixi's community, and Qi Hongchen got out of the car to open the door for her. His deliberate action was so natural that there was no pretence, and his good manners and consideration were unmatched by Lu Dongqi.

  Qī Hóng went up to Xī Xī, gently patted her shoulder: "Good girl, go back and sleep, forget all the unpleasant things. If possible, also forget Lù Dōng Qī. You be happy, he can be at ease."

  "Thank you, Qi Ge, I don't want to forget him, even if others have forgotten, I'm not willing to forget. In this world, there must be someone who proves that Lu Dongqi's existence left a mark." Xi Xi bit her lip, controlling her emotions, she knew Qi Hong's good intentions, but the words "forget" were spoken so lightly, how could it be done?

  Lu Dong Qi, these three words are almost connected to all her memories of youth. The human heart is not a recycling bin, and it can't be emptied with just one click of the right mouse button.

  "Alright, Lu Dongqi has a friend like you, it's worth it." Qi Hong felt somewhat relieved. Dongqi, look, not only are you braver than me, but also luckier, even if you leave, there is someone who will miss you in their heart.

  Xia Xi watched as He Qun's black sedan drove away, letting out a sigh of relief. This day had been incredibly long. Why did happy days pass so quickly, while sorrowful times seemed to drag on endlessly?

  She needs a good sleep, but even if the sleep is sweet, when she wakes up, Lu Dongqi will still be gone from this world, and her heart starts to ache again. What's the use of being sad, anyway? Fang Zheng admits that she has never been strong.

  "Hmm..." He seemed to want to say something, but hesitated, as if not wanting to disturb her. Chen Yan walked slowly over, having been waiting for her at the entrance of the residential area for quite some time.

  Xia Xi dressed up and saw Chen Yan standing in the sunset, with his back to the light. She couldn't see his face clearly, but when she heard his voice, she suddenly burst into tears. You can search for "冤家校草不易解?哈十八" on Baidu to find the latest updates of this book!
