You are my billions of stars

Chapter 41 Sorry, I'm Late

"Sorry I'm late, mother."

A drop of crystal clear tears fell from the corner of Lin Xi's eye, down his cheek, and onto the ground.

She and her mother have lived here since childhood, and there are too many memories of them here.Those who should have been happy, but in the end all turned into unwillingness and remorse.

"This is." When Lin Xi looked around, he suddenly found an urn on the bed cabinet.Suddenly remembered what the nurse said a few days ago, and instantly understood something.

With his eyes fixed on the urn, he stepped away from the heavy legs and approached the bed cabinet step by step.The closer you get, the more flustered you feel.The truth that I have been avoiding all this time, and I don't want to know, seems to be approaching me step by step.

"Mom." Lin Xi raised her trembling hands, her eyes instantly turned red.The eyes in the eyes are full of fear, fear.

When the palm touched the urn, Lin Xi couldn't help shivering from the cold touch.

"That's your mother's ashes." With a trace of vicissitudes, the plain words sounded behind Lin Xi.

"I see." Lin Xi took a big mouthful of air, trying to calm down.It's just that the clenched fist has already exposed all of Lin Xi's thoughts.

Looking at the stubborn figure in front of him, Zhang Fengping sighed, turned and left the room, and put the doorknob behind him.It is better to leave the space to Lin Xi alone, after all, it is the pain of losing his mother.Besides, she was guilty too.

Zhang Fengping was just about to go downstairs, but when he heard heart-piercing cries from behind, his heart tightened and he couldn't help clenching his hands.The light of struggle flashed in his eyes, and after a while, Youyou sighed and went down to the second floor.

When Lin Xi came out again, more than half an hour had passed.Although the crying lasted only for a short while, what made Zhang Fengping even more frightened was the long period of silence after the crying.When seeing Lin Xi come out, Zhang Fengping subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.It's just that when his eyes touched the ashes urn in Lin Xi's arms, his heart suddenly lifted.

"Aunt Zhang, can I take my mother back?" Lin Xi looked at Zhang Fengping with red eyes, and calmly stated her purpose.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Fengping was definitely not frightened, but Lin Xi's eyes really made people panic.If one were to say what Lin Xi looked like in front of her, it could only be compared to a suppressed active volcano, which would erupt instantly with just one chance.

"Thank you." Lin Xi kept her eyes on the ashes urn in her hand from beginning to end, as if her beloved lived there.

"I'm bothering Auntie today." Lin Xi walked to the door and suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Zhang Fengping, "I'm really sorry."

"What did you say, girl? This is your mother's cell phone, here it is." Seeing Lin Xi who was dejected, Zhang Fengping felt distressed for a while.After all, it is a child who has seen growing up since childhood, and it is inevitable that he will feel sad in his heart now.He got up and took out a blackened mobile phone from a drawer and handed it to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi straightened her back, smiled reluctantly at Zhang Fengping, took the mobile phone, put on her shoes, and left with the urn in her arms.

Zhang Fengping followed Lin Xi to the door, looking at Lin Xi walking under the dim light, the elongated lonely shadow made Zhang Fengping feel unbearable.

"I'm sorry, child." After an unknown amount of time, the final apology sounded in the empty courtyard, full of remorse.

On the quiet street, Lin Xi walked aimlessly on the street with the columbarium in his arms.She came to Zhang Fengping today just to ask about the fire, but she never expected to meet her mother.Even though there were too many questions I wanted to ask, they all disappeared the moment I saw my mother.

She still has so many questions to ask her mother, why her painting became Zhang Cailin's famous work, and why her mother would hide it.

But her mother is gone.
