The Ghost of Grandma Qin 009
The plane has taken off, Uncle said he wants to take me away from this city and go back to Qin Village for a visit. Recently, Uncle seems to have some worries on his mind. Wherever Uncle goes, I'll follow him, as long as Uncle is happy like usual.
I also miss Qin Village, after all, I lived there for two years. Since Grandma Qin passed away, I haven't been back.
Uncle asked me, "Ah Li, you'll be twenty years old in three months, right?"
I nodded at Uncle Ah and pulled his arm, "Uncle Ah, are you going to prepare a birthday gift for me?"
Uncle smiled and touched the tip of my nose, with a face full of doting love. Uncle loves me just like a father loves his own daughter, but I don't want to have a generation gap with Uncle.
The little girl in the back seat seems to be unhappy, whispering behind her back to the boy next to her, "Look at other people's boyfriends, they all remember their girlfriends' birthdays, unlike you."
The boy kept comforting her, "Hey, didn't I take you on a trip for your birthday?"
The girl was stubborn and wouldn't give in, "I don't want it, I don't want it. I want a ring, I want a necklace."
"Alright, alright, I'll agree with you, speak softly, it's not good if others hear."
"Unless you buy me a necklace."
"Alright, buy a necklace, go buy one as soon as you get off the plane."
The voices of that couple gradually faded away behind me. I looked up at Uncle, this jade-like man, and thought to myself: if only you weren't my uncle, how great would that be?
At this age and with such closeness, in the eyes of outsiders, we are just a couple, I am not his adopted abandoned daughter.
A faint sorrow surged up in her heart, if Uncle didn't marry An Linglong, then who would be the kind of woman he would marry in the future, perhaps as beautiful as An Linglong.
In the future, I should also marry a man like Lin's family young master, or a steady and gentle man like my uncle...
Uncle also heard the conversation of the young couple behind him, he leaned into my ear, a faint airflow slipped into my ear, I trembled all over, Uncle said, "So, what do you want for your birthday?"
I turned back to see the young couple who were still arguing just now, but are now leaning on each other.
Lowering her head, "I don't want anything." As long as I can stay by Uncle Ah's side forever, I don't want anything.
Uncle smiled at me and said, "I'll buy you a necklace."
Looking up to meet Uncle's gaze, this feeling, isn't it like that of lovers? A inexplicable sense of loss comes again, it seems I've become too dependent on Uncle, to the point of being on the verge of madness, but in reality, it's just a discarded daughter's reverence for her adoptive father.
"Hey, isn't this the first necklace you gave me? And is this twisted gold thread real?"
The uncle looked at me with a puzzled expression, and it was the first time he had asked about this matter.
I put the red cord into my collar and sat obediently beside Uncle, "I was thinking that if one day I wasn't by Uncle's side, I, who have no survival skills, could at least take the golden silk to sell and wouldn't go hungry."
"Uncle was a bit silent, narrowed his eyes, 'You want to sell it?'"
I looked up at Uncle and smiled mischievously, "Just kidding, haha."
Uncle patted my head again, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Mischievous."
I made a face at Uncle Ah, and as I turned my head, a scorching hot wave rolled in between my neck, heavily striking my forehead, making me dizzy and disoriented. When I looked up, I saw the gloomy and pale face outside the window.
My heart is racing uncontrollably, feeling suffocated and unable to breathe, I clutched my chest tightly, my heart began to ache as if it was being torn apart.
That face seems to be Qin's grandma.
Isn't Old Lady Qin already dead ten years ago? Could it be that Old Lady Qin's ghost has appeared.
