hold you in my arms

"It's true that you have to leave as soon as the training camp is over!" Said Baihe sat on the bed dissatisfied, looking at Jiang Nie who hurriedly packed her luggage.

"That's right, otherwise, what are you doing here?" Jiang Nie stopped what she was doing, and poked Sayuri's face.

"I found that you have changed."

"Where?" Jiang Nie didn't notice it.

"You love to laugh and talk to people."

"It's as if I didn't know how to talk to people before." Jiang Nie raised her eyebrows.

"That's right, I can't tell, anyway, Nie-chan is getting cuter and cuter." Said Baihe put her arms around Jiang Nie's neck.

"Cut." Jiang Nie chuckled disdainfully.

"Look, I'm laughing again."

Jiang Nie walked out of the airport hall with heavy luggage. The spring was beautiful. It was already March in China, which was much warmer than Russia. After removing the heavy cotton coat, Jiang Nie felt the warm embrace of the motherland.

"I am back."

"Sorry, the number you dialed has been switched off, please try again later."

This is the tenth call Jiang Nie made to Lizhi.

"what happened?"

Jiang Nie looked at the phone suspiciously, since the day before yesterday, Li Zhi's phone has been unable to make calls.

"Sorry, the number you dialed has been switched off, please try again later."

Can't get through to Cassia's cell phone either.

Jiang Nie stood on the street blankly, what happened?

"Jiang Nirvana?"

The call to Sun Xiao was finally picked up.

"President, do you know what happened to Lizhi? She won't answer my call." Jiang Nie asked hastily.

"Don't you know? Cassia's mother passed away."

Like five thunders crashing at the same time, Nirvana was stunned.

Passed away?

"A week ago, the gastric cancer was in the advanced stage, and the virus spread very rapidly. Three days ago, my aunt passed away. The doctor said that if I came half a month earlier, it might be slowed down, and there is even hope for a cure."

Stomach cancer?

Late?

Vomiting blood.

"Jang Nie promised me not to tell the children..."

Choking Nirvana in his throat, he couldn't say anything, obviously saw it that night, obviously saw it twice.But why did he obediently not tell Lizhi?

"Hello? Will you be okay? Will you?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Nie clenched the suitcase in his hand, "Can I go to Lizhi's house now?"

"I'll pick you up, where are you now?"

"I just came back to China, and I'm still at the airport."

When I arrived at Lizhi's house, I saw the wreaths piled up at the door when I was still downstairs. The spring breeze blew through with a bit of cold, and the wreaths rattled, making Nie's skin goosebumps.

"Little girl, are you here?"

Grandpa Wang came to Jiang Nie with a few trembling steps.I saw his eye circles were red and swollen, and he was indescribably sad.

"Grandpa, I..."

"Don't say anything, go up and have a look."

Grandpa Wang patted Jiang Nie's shoulder, suddenly realizing that this movement can be so heavy.

"Let's go." Sun Xiao said.

Jiang Nie had never felt that the corridor was so cold, making people shiver.It's just the second floor, but one step at a time seems so long.

Pushing open the half-closed door, a piece of plainness came into view.Sighing, crying, the old man dragged his hoarse voice and read brokenly, and the ignorant children looked around with big eyes, feeling sad for some reason.

"Brother Jueming." Sun Xiao patted the slightly tired man in the room.

"You're back."

Caesar Ming turned around, his eyebrows drooped, his voice was hoarse, his face was covered with stubble, his clothes were messed up, and he looked sloppy.

"Jiang Nie is here too." Jueming forced a smile.

"Brother Caesar, I'm sorry." Jiang Nie bowed to Cassia.

"What are you doing?" Jue Ming hurriedly helped Jiang Nie up.

"It's me. I found out that Auntie vomited blood a long time ago. Auntie didn't let me say it, so I really didn't say it. If I had said earlier..." Jiang Nirvana's emotions welled up all of a sudden, and tears flowed down her face drip.

"earlier……"

"I don't blame you. Mom already knew about her illness and didn't want to drag us down." Cassia Ming's voice became weak, except for sighing, just sighing.

"But……"

Jiang Nie had already been weeping uncontrollably, she leaned on Cassia Ming's arms and wet most of his sleeves.

"Jiang Nie, the litchi is missing." The tired man split himself into two, one for his mother and one for his sister.

"How come...?" Jiang Nie raised her head, her eyes widened.

"Help me find her." Caesar asked in a rare begging tone.

"I'll go, I'll go now, don't worry." Jiang Nie hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and tiptoed to pat Cassia on the shoulder.

You must calm down now, just like Jiang Nirvana before, use everything you have to complete this task.

Jiang Nie walked into Lizhi's room, and the inside was as neat as when Jiang Nie left that day.

The painting box, is the painting box still there?Jiang Nie hurried to the gap between the two cupboards and was still there.

"Lichi has no plans to leave completely."

Jiang Nie needed more clues, so she began to search the ruined table of Lizhi, trying to get something from it.

"This is?" Jiang Nie found an exquisite notebook with a small lock on it from under a pile of books.

Not caring about anything else, Jiang Nie made a decisive decision, picked up the electric baton in the schoolbag and hit the inferior lock with one blow, but it didn't open, and with another blow, the lock broke in two and fell to the ground.

"On March 2018, 3, father, are you finally going to take your mother away? You have been separated for too long. In the hospital a few days ago, my mother was confused and still called your name. I am very happy. Mother still remembers you. Are you okay there? I don't allow you to find a new wife there, even if I keep mother, you are not allowed to find..."

Many words were blurred by tears, Lizhi wrote these words with great grief.Jiang Nie seemed to see the desperate and lonely Lizhi leaning on the table every night, writing reluctantly with eyes blurred by tears.

"Father, I miss you so much."

"She might..." Jiang Nie thought for a while.

"Brother Jueming, I know where Lizhi has gone." Jiang Nie rushed out of the room, pushing away all the people in the room.

"Where did the litchi go?" Jue Ming asked eagerly.

"Your father's burial place." Jiang Nie paused every word.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it." Jueming clenched his fist and hit his palm.

"Then go and see it later when it's buried?" Sun Xiao asked.

"How long until the burial?"

Jiang Nie felt that he couldn't wait, Lizhi might leave at any time.

"It's time to go now." Falcon Xiao glanced at his watch.

When they arrived at the cemetery, Jiang Nie almost ran over with Cassia Ming, but the aisle of the tombstone was empty, and there was no shadow of litchi.

"She's gone." Jiang Nie bit her lip.

"We're late."

"Look slowly, she will come back." Caesar comforted.

The funeral was very simple. Mama Lizhi's relatives and her neighbors who had a good time during her lifetime came. Many people cried, some were out of breath, and some pretended to express themselves with tears.

Cassia shaved his beard, wore a suit, and stood erect in front of his mother's tombstone. This man was only in his early twenties, but he had grown a lot of gray hair.

His eyes were red, but there were no tears.His bloodshot eyes were wide open. Before he fell down, he still had an underage younger sister.

Until the funeral was over, Jiang Nie felt that Lychee was there, but he just looked around and scanned every corner, but there was still no sign of Lychee.

"Lichi, where are you?"

The lychee was hiding under the pine tree in the distance, and the thick pine tree completely covered the lychee. She only dared to poke her head out slightly, watching her mother's tombstone being erected from a distance, and the urn being covered with soil by her brother.

She couldn't cry for a long time, leaned on the tree and slid to the ground, covering her mouth and crying.

She didn't dare to face all this, the fact that the new grave next to her father belonged to her mother, and the fact that her mother was gone.

"mom--!"

The roar rushed out of the cemetery and went straight to the sky. The birds fluttered their wings across the sky, the sun was so dazzling, and the lingering clouds were half hanging in the air, making people breathless.

After a busy day, Jue Ming went into the study as soon as he got home. Seeing that Jue Ming hadn't eaten all day, Sun Xiao went to the kitchen to make a pot of noodles, and brought them to Cassia's study.

"Brother Jueming, let's have some food." Sun Xiao knocked on the door and walked into the study.

"Thank you, Sun Xiao." Jue Ming looked at the noodles in the bowl, "Are you hungry too, do you want to eat together?"

"There's more in the kitchen, I'll bring it, let's eat with you." Falcon Xiao hurriedly got up.

"it is good."

Sun Xiao walked out of the study and looked at Jiang Nie who was sitting in the living room in a daze. He couldn't bear to see her like this, so he patted her on the shoulder, "Have some dinner with us."

"No need, go and accompany brother Jueming, I'll stay in the litchi room." After saying that, Jiang Nie got up and walked towards the litchi room.

"Wait a while, go in with the noodles and eat." Sun Xiao hurriedly brought out a bowl of noodles from the kitchen.

"Thank you, President." Jiang Nie leaned against the door and took the noodles.

"It's okay, everything will be fine." Sun Xiao said firmly.

"I think so too." Looking at the steaming noodles, Jiang Nie nodded.

"The two brothers and sisters should be guarded by us."

"Yeah." Falcon Xiao nodded. "This time it's our turn."
