"Alright."
Feng De smiled and nodded, he looked to the woman in the wheelchair and said, "We are eating dinner, there is your favorite fish, I was going to go into the sea myself, but minuscule thought did not allow me, so I let someone else go fish."Shi Xiaonian looked at An Jilinuo.
She sat in a wheelchair with a gray blanket covering her withered legs. She didn't speak, as if she hadn't heard them, just gazed out at the sunlit sea in the distance with her clear eyes.
Shi Xiaonian gazed at the direction of the sea, the sea was so beautiful that it looked ethereal.
"She really likes the sea. Although she used to live on the island, she rarely had the chance to see the sea." Feng De stood behind An Jilinuo and said with a doting smile, "I never thought that she would still like the sea so much even though she doesn't know anyone."
Feng De's voice was hoarse and gentle, but Shi Xiaonian's heart ached when she heard it.
"Get ready to eat."
Shi Xiaonian laughed and said, she carried the plate to the table and placed it there.
Su Yaoyao and landlady stood there as they laid vegetables, just like when they arrived at the island on the first day. Today was their last day on the island.
"So it's them."
landlady suddenly stood there and said, she looked in the direction of Feng De and An Jilinuo, "I recognize them.""Yes." Shi Xiaonian smiled and nodded, holding her knife and fork, she said, "If it wasn't for the feudal system on the island back then, they would have been able to survive together."
landlady sighed emotionally, and said, "At that time, I thought they were all so good, but who would have thought that girl became the Heavenly Girl, and a good person voluntarily became the Heavenly Girl."
"…"Shi Xiaonian's heart pierced.
"I wonder what she was thinking when she accepted all the torture without hesitation?" The landlady sighed.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Su Yaoyao, who had a sorrowful expression on her face when she heard her. Shi Xiaonian also did not feel well in her heart, and she wanted to know what An Jilinuo was thinking at that time.
Why would there be people willing to become the Celestial Maiden? They would be tormented, trampled upon, trampled upon, and even go all out to survive and not let themselves die.
How many people could have such courage?
"The dishes tonight are very sumptuous. I've never seen all of them before." Gong Yu said as he looked at the table full of dishes as Gong Yu and Gong Ou walked over.
Gong Ou walked forward and habitually hugged Shi Xiaonian.
"We will be leaving tomorrow, so I specially requested landlady to pick some special dishes on the island." Shi Xiaonian said with a faint smile, as she turned to look at Gong Ou, "Sit down and eat."
"Yes."
Gong Ou nodded, hugged her and sat down.
On the other side, Feng De also pushed An Jilinuo over. He picked up the bowl and scooped up the soup, then fed it to An Jilinuo bit by bit.
She sat there, allowing Feng De to feed her with a numb expression. She forgot to swallow it as the soup flowed down the corner of her mouth.
Feng De immediately wiped her hands off with a tissue and continued to feed her as if he was coaxing a little child. "Come on, swallow it, drink it all after swallowing it, be good," he said.
An Jilinuo's clear eyes looked at the ocean, she did not know if she heard it, but occasionally she would swallow it and occasionally she would forget it. She let the soup flow out from her mouth again, wetting her chin.
Feng De wiped the food off again, not bothering to eat his dinner at all.However, none of the people at the table spoke a word. Gong Ou did not even glance at them as he focused on eating.
This table of food was made by Shi Xiaonian, he could not waste it.
Shi Xiaonian then scooped another bowl of soup and handed it over to Feng De. Feng De looked at her gratefully and then looked at Gong Ou.
"She looks better than she did yesterday."Gong Yu looked at An Jilinuo and said. The voice of the broadcast room was very comforting.
"That's right. His complexion is much better and he's eating more than yesterday." Feng De said with a smile. His tone was gratified and proud, as if this was something to be proud of.
"Mother seems to like the soup I make. I'll make it for her every day after we go back."Shi Xiaonian said.
"That's not good.""What's wrong? Isn't it normal for daughters to take care of foster mothers?" Shi Xiaonian laughed and said, "Speaking of which, my foster mother must have been extremely beautiful when she was young. Her eyes are really bright, like gems."
After hearing that, everyone looked at An Jilinuo's eyes. Although her face was beautiful, it was still imprinted with years old, but her eyes were like gems, no matter how many years they had been shining, she was extremely beautiful.
Beautiful.
It was impossible to tell from her eyes that she was old, but she still looked like a young girl.
"Not as beautiful as you!"
Gong Ou said as he raised his eyes to look at Shi Xiaonian.
"…"
The table was silent.Amidst the light breeze, An Jilinuo sat there and swallowed the soup. A pair of clear eyes looked at Shi Xiaonian and the corner of her mouth suddenly twitched as if she was laughing.
Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at her.
"She smiled."
It was unknown who said that, but Feng De stared blankly at An Jilinuo as the bowl in his hands dropped.
Shi Xiaonian immediately revealed a gentle smile, and An Jilinuo looked at her, and the smile on his face deepened.
An Jilinuo was really beautiful.
Just from her eyes alone, Shi Xiaonian was certain that she was the most beautiful girl on the island when she was young.
This woman was too great. She had sacrificed too much for Feng De and her family, even Gong Ou had to admire and respect her, if not he would not tolerate such a person eating at their table.
Su Yaoyao walked over, holding a handkerchief and carefully wiped the soup off the corner of her mouth, then said to Feng De: "Hey, I'll wipe it."
Hearing that, Feng De's gaze froze, he looked at Su Yaoyao blankly, and smiled.Shi Xiaonian sat opposite of them, quietly watching the scene with a knowing smile on her face.
If only An Jilinuo could live indefinitely.
That foster father and his family would be able to live a good life forever. They would be happy and full of bliss. Any feeling of loss or guilt would turn into an indestructible feeling.The evening seemed particularly long.
After dinner, the entire island was still as bright as ever. Before he left, Shi Xiaonian was pulled by Gong Ou to walk around the island.
The islanders again gathered in the small hotel to watch television.
The bodyguards dutifully guarded the island.Feng De pushed An Jilinuo towards the shore. The closer they got to the ocean, the louder the sound of the waves. Waves of waves hit on the shore, and the sunset was on the other side of the sea.
The road beneath his feet was getting softer and softer, making it unsuitable for the wheelchair to continue moving forward.
Feng De lowered his head, only to see An Jilinuo staring fixedly at the ocean, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as though he was smiling, "Are you happy? You want to get closer to the sea, right? ""…"
An Jilinuo did not reply him, he only looked at the ocean.
Seeing that, Feng De reached out and pressed his hand to the wound on his chest, gritting his teeth, then reached out and picked An Jilinuo up from the wheelchair.
An Jilinuo was extremely thin and light, almost to the point of being weightless. However, even though Feng De was injured, it was still difficult to carry her.
Su Yaoyao, who was standing not far from them, immediately spoke up: "Hello."
She was worried.
Feng De stood in the light of the sunset on the beach, turned his eyes and looked at Su Yaoyao, then said with a smile, "It's alright, I can carry her. Your mother wants to see the ocean."
"…"Su Yaoyao shut her mouth, and quietly watched Feng De carry An Jilinuo to the seaside. He walked with such a firm resolve, and without any hesitation at all, his two hands continued to hug the person in his embrace.
Su Yaoyao followed him.
The more he took the beach, the more Feng De felt that the corner of her lips was raised higher and higher. She really liked the ocean too much.
When they arrived at the seaside, Feng De used up all his energy and couldn't hold on any longer. He hurried to help and sat down by the seaside, hugging An Jilinuo to his chest and covered her legs with a blanket.
Su Yaoyao retreated to the side as her eyes became red.
After sitting down for a while, Feng De began to pant heavily. After a long while, he finally regained his senses, looked towards the calm ocean and laughed, "It's been decades, I never thought that we would be able to come to this beach together."
"…"
An Jilinuo leaned onto his chest, it was extremely gentle, without any form of resistance or emotion. She just stared at the surface of the sea, occasionally looking at the birds that flew past.
"You were such a prankster back then, you just went straight into the sea and scared me to death. I thought I couldn't find you for quite a few times." Feng De muttered, he did not care whether An Jilinuo heard it or not, as he looked at the ocean surface: "Fortunately, I managed to find you.""…"
The corner of An Jilinuo's mouth rose, maintaining his smile.
"…"
Su Yaoyao stood at the side, quietly standing, and after hearing Feng De's voice, her eyes turned even redder.
"At that time, you always liked to say that you wanted to be a tree by the sea. Do you really like the sea that much?" Feng De asked.
"…"
No one answered him.
"Look, I still have the pocket watch you gave me. I haven't had it broken in decades." Feng De said, "I can't even sleep if I don't hear its voice now."Feng De took off his pocket watch, opened the watch's lid, and placed it beside An Jilinuo's ear, allowing her to listen.
Drip.
Drip, drip, drip.
Drip, drip, drip.The second hand moved slowly, like the rhythm of the waves, like his heartbeat.
An Jilinuo quietly listened to the voice, his eyes still looking at the sea. Feng De lowered his eyes to look at her gentle and smiling face, and then looked at him and smiled.
"It's good that you don't recognize me. I'm so old now, I don't even dare to recognize myself anymore."
Feng De said with a smile.
"…"An Jilinuo smiled.
"After I escaped from the island, I went to see my mother to treat my mother's illness, but she still left." Feng De said, "Afterwards, I worked hard outside alone, and then I became a butler."
