Ye Chen responded and said, "Okay, but the stairs are a bit steep. You should pay attention when you go down."

Song Wanting shyly stretched out her soft hand and handed it to Ye Chen, whispering: "Master Ye, can you help me with your hard work? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll fall..."

In fact, she was not afraid of falling, but wanted to take this opportunity to be more intimate and close to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen saw that the stone steps were indeed very long and quite steep, extending from the bank to the river beach. Song Wanting, a girl, would have slipped and fell down, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So he took Song Wanting's tender jade hand, took her carefully, and walked down the stone steps.

At this time, there was no one on the beach. Occasionally, a few ships with lights passed by on the river. The rumbling diesel engines were loud, but they didn't feel very noisy on the empty river.

After coming to the beach, Ye Chen let go of Song Wanting's hand, faced the slow cold wind on the river, and said with a smile: "This place is really good."

Song Wanting smiled slightly, stroked the black hair between her ears and said, "I liked to come here the most when I was a child. At that time, my father was busy with work, so my mother brought me here every day."

As she said that, she sighed with some melancholy and sadness, and said, "At that time, my mother would drive me, park my car in the same place, and then walk down the same stone steps, holding my hand carefully like you did just now."

Ye Chen nodded gently.

When I grew up in an orphanage, I often think of my parents.

I was not as strong as I am when I was young. Every time I thought of them, they would hide in bed or hide in the corner and cry.

But over time, I gradually got used to it.

The hard life he had learned a lot of valuable truths.

For example, the dead are gone, and for example, the sad things that happened in the past, let them pass quietly.

At this time, Song Wanting beside me sighed: "This morning, I went to visit my parents' graves, but I couldn't believe that they had been away for more than ten years, and all the past I had when I was a child was still vivid in my mind. Many times I have an illusion that I felt like I was still alive when I was eight or nine years old."

Ye Chen laughed at himself and sighed: "You can still go to visit the graves of your parents, but I don't know where my parents are buried now."

"Ah?" Song Wanting asked in surprise: "Can't you find it? Or did something happen that year?"

Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "When my parents passed away, I was only eight years old. At that time, I couldn't take care of myself and didn't even know where to solve the problem of having a full meal. I had no ability to handle their funerals at all. Later, when I wanted to find it, I couldn't find it."

As he said that, Ye Chen said again: "But their ashes may be taken back by their grandfather's family, but I don't know much about the details."

Song Wanting couldn't help asking him: "Master Ye, do you have any relatives in this world?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Yes, but I'm not ready to see them yet."

Song Wanting nodded gently, blinked her beautiful eyelashes and said, "Master Ye, let's walk along the riverside."

"Okay." Ye Chen agreed readily and walked side by side with Song Wanting along the riverside.

Song Wanting smiled and said, "By the way, Master Ye, do you still remember the first time we met?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Of course, at Jiqingtang, my father-in-law accidentally smashed an antique vase for you."
