Sometimes the thieves would also be well-dressed, but temperament could not be imitated.
The old man decided to believe the young man. "Okay, don't stay too long. The wind is cold at night. Come in the daytime in the future."
After thanking the old man, he turned around and walked into the cemetery and expertly to the front of Alice's tombstone. He could even reach the position with his eyes closed.
In the past five years, he had only come to see Alice for a few times, only on the anniversary of their relationship and Valentine's day. It was not that he was too busy with his work, nor that he forgot it and unwilling to come, but that he was too afraid to come.
He was afraid to see the cold and gray tombstone, on which the two words "Alice Gu" were engraved stiffly. He was afraid to see the familiar smile in the black and white photo, and that the beauty in the past would never return.
He was also afraid of meeting someone who also came here to mourn her, perhaps her parents, or perhaps it was her mother, or Sherri.
So he chose to celebrate their love anniversary and Valentine's day, avoiding Tomb-Sweeping Day and Alice's birthday. For so many years, it was not until now that he realized that he was good at dodging.
He placed the flowers in front of Alice's tombstone. The white roses gave off a faint fragrance.
"I'm here to see you, Alice" Regardless of the dust on the ground, he sat on the ground and looked at the photo on Alice's tombstone gently.
"Sherri had told me everything today. I was so stupid to take myself as the center."
Harrison then looked up at the sky. The night sky tonight was extraordinarily beautiful, without any clouds. There were only stars and a bright moon, just like the starry sky where he, Alice and Sherri had made a wish to the meteor together.
"I remember you once said that after a person had died, he would not go to heaven or go to hell. Instead, he would turn into a star and look towards the people he cared about when he was alive."
It seemed that Harrison had recalled himself, the young boy, from five years ago.
"Then which one are you? Alice, do you still remember the time we traveled to Japan? You said that you would also plant Prunus Lannesiana in the courtyard in the future. I have been planting it in the past few years. Have you being looking at the flowers blooming every year?
Besides, you bought that thing all of a sudden when you went shopping last time. After the jet lag, you were almost caught in the anti-theft bureau! It's so good to have a boyfriend in law. Otherwise, no one else would have escaped it. "
"I still remember that you coughed more and more violently in the last few days," said Harrison with a bitter smile. "You lied to me saying that there were too many catkins.
