Castle Peak Like Jade

In June, cicadas begin to appear among the tree trunks. The early morning sunlight shines into the trees, and the cicadas chirp alternately among the mottled green shadows.

When I go out for a run early in the morning, I feel like summer is coming. As a child, Xia Tian loved catching cicadas. She could play with one cicada all day long.

That kind of childhood summer, just remembering it, makes me feel extremely warm. The joy of childhood is very vivid.

It's almost the season of vitality again.

When Chu Shuang returned, Sheng Ting was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and reading a book on the sofa, with the kitten lying next to him. He was wearing light gray home clothes, which seemed a bit less majestic and upright in the workplace.

Her eyes touched his thin pale vermilion lips, and she thought of something last night. Chu Shuang's heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked away.

Just as he was about to go upstairs to change, he was stopped by a man.

"Back from running?"

"Ah."

"There are bananas in the refrigerator, go get them."

Chushuang: "Okay, I don't want to eat it now. If you want to eat it, I'll get it later."

"I want to eat now, please bring me one."

After the man finished speaking, his eyes returned to the book, looking busy and focused.

Chushuang paused, "Okay."

She walked straight to the refrigerator, opened the door, and was shocked by the unexpected scene in front of her.

There were no bananas in the refrigerator at all. Instead, it was filled with all kinds of beautiful flowers. The flowers were decorated in layers, and they were so beautiful.

Chushuang was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned her head. The man was still sitting on the sofa, with a slight smile on his lips and a gentle look in his eyes.

Chushuang looked back at the flowers in the refrigerator for a long time before returning to the sofa.

"There are no more bananas," she said.

Sheng Ting's lips twitched slightly, "Really? I must have remembered it wrong. What's in the refrigerator?"

"Lots of tomatoes."

Sheng Ting glanced at her and chuckled.

He continued to read, and Chu Shuang leaned next to him, "What are you reading?"

The man whispered two words, "Read a book."

Chushuang smiled, got closer to him, and leaned her head over, "Let me see."

Sheng Ting held her in his arms and read the book with her.

After 5 minutes, the person in his arms suddenly came up and kissed him.

Lowering his head, he saw her clear smile and bright eyes.

"Why are you sending flowers suddenly?"

"It's not sudden. I originally planned to welcome you home in this way, but I didn't expect you to come back early."

Chushuang stared at him for a long time, leaned her head on his chest, and said in a low voice, "Don't quarrel again."

Sheng Ting kissed the top of her head and said with a gentle tone, "I will never quarrel with you."

It was Mr. Shen's eightieth birthday. Teachers, friends, and disciples from all over the world came to celebrate his birthday. They almost broke through the threshold of the Shen family. The Shen family was lively for a long time.

July is also another person’s birthday.

On July [-]th, Chushuang and Shengting bought flowers and wine early in the morning and went to Banshan Cemetery.

Birthdays are celebrated in life, and death anniversaries are celebrated in death. But on this day every year, the first frost cannot let go, and I want to come and see my brother.

In the early morning, there was some mist lingering in the mountains, and the air was damp and cold. All the way up, the cemetery was quiet and depressing.

The bluestone road was a bit slippery, and Chu Shuang couldn't take a steady step. Sheng Ting quickly took her elbow and said, "Be careful."

The first frost was about to stand firm, but the person was stunned, looking at a certain place motionless.

Sheng Ting looked along and saw a person standing in front of a tombstone in the distance.

The figure was slender and straight, holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums in his arms and holding a black umbrella on the ground.

Even if they are far apart, familiar people can recognize them by looking at their backs.

That's Chao Yu.

She put the chrysanthemums in her sight and slowly squatted down, wondering what she was saying to the owner of the tomb. There was also a cake with a candle burning in front of the tomb.

Chushuang stared at him for a long time, his eyes moist, "There are still people who remember my brother."

"It turns out that every year in the twelfth lunar month, the flowers on the graves of my parents and brothers are placed towards Sister Yu." Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and her words were slightly choked, "How much did she love..."

Chao Yu stayed in front of the tomb for a long time, and when she was about to turn around and leave, two people appeared in her sight.

She paused and looked at Chu Shuang, a little stunned.

Chushuang caught a glimpse of the wet tears at the corner of her eyes, and the tip of her nose felt sore. Every time she thought of Chaoyu walking alone all these years, she felt the same.

Just thinking about it makes me suffocate.

She was her brother's lover, the one who would have become her sister-in-law.

Looking at each other for a moment, Chushuang spoke first.

"Sister-in-law."

Chao Yu's eyes were stunned at first, and then turned from shock to sadness, and her tears almost broke down and fell down.
