Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Old Friends Gone
Zhang Yuxi rarely finishes an early shift tonight.
When she got ho, Lin Feng was busy.
She changed into casual clothes, washed her hands, and went to the kitchen to help, talking about the gossip she heard in the office.
Usually, she wouldn’t do this, but today seeing her husband in low spirits, she tried to cheer him up.
Lin Feng listened with relish, surprised at how lively Zhang Yuxi’s social circle was, and kept talking.
"I really didn’t think his son would be such a person. He doesn’t look like it at all."
"Hmm, so it turns out he’s like this behind the scenes."
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly one generation is worse than the last."
Zhang Yuxi holds a high position and usually doesn’t bother with these matters, all she hears is from her friends.
The couple was happily chatting.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuxi’s phone rang, and after she answered, her expression was bad.
"What’s wrong, honey?"
Zhang Yuxi was silent for a while, then choked up.
"Teacher Tang is gone."
"How did it happen?"
"Passed due to a sudden heart attack."
"..."
Teacher Tang was from the first group of people the couple knew.
She was also Lin Feng’s teacher.
Back when Zhang Yuxi was teaching at Yangcheng University, she had a good relationship with Teacher Tang and Han Wen, and over the years Teacher Tang lived freely, they stayed in touch.
A few years ago, they gathered, and Teacher Tang’s ntal state seed well.
Her son’s marriage and childbirth gave her an adorable granddaughter, and the family was harmonious.
Zhang Yuxi was saddened, her eyes red, contemplating the unpredictability of life.
The originally planned couple’s world turned somber due to Teacher Tang’s passing.
The couple packed their luggage, booked the earliest flight, and were picked up by Teacher Tang’s daughter-in-law when they arrived.
Since the divorce, Teacher Tang had lived well with her son, making the life she wanted.
Her son and daughter-in-law’s relationship stable, and the little granddaughter excelled academically.
Thinking about it, she probably had no regrets.
Many ca to the funeral that Zhang Yuxi did not know, and the mutual friends they once had gradually lost contact.
Looking around, Zhang Yuxi fixed her gaze on the black-and-white photo, choked up inside.
A professional team handled all the funeral affairs, and after sending Teacher Tang off, there was cremation, and finally, the ashes were scattered into the sea.
"Aunt Zhang, this should be left for you by Mother-in-law."
Zhang Yuxi was shocked, "How could it be?"
The daughter-in-law shook her head, "Not only yours, there’s ours too. She has organized her will for ergencies."
This was a small box, with a notebook inside and a jade bracelet.
Zhang Yuxi recognized this bracelet, precious to Teacher Tang herself.
On the notebook’s title page, there was a passage.
Life is like a song, dedicated to my dearest friend, Zhang Yuxi.
No extra words, Zhang Yuxi held back her tears, looking forward.
At the funeral, Teacher Tang’s ex-husband also ca, looking haggard and downcast.
He, too, ca to send Teacher Tang for the last ti.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Yuxi looked at the chat records with Teacher Tang and sent a ssage.
"Good night, next ti we will hang out together."
Three days later, Zhang Yuxi and her husband bid farewell to Teacher Tang’s family and boarded the carriage back.
At their age, such events would beco more frequent, and one day there would be acceptance of life and death.
"Honey, are you alright?"
"I’m fine!"
"Then what are you doing now?"
"Oh, I’m tidying up my things, anything wrong?"
"No, no, nothing, do you need help?"
"No, no, I’ll do it myself."
It’s been a week since Teacher Tang’s passing, and Lin Feng noticed that after returning, Zhang Yuxi started to sort through her clothes and jewelry.
It always felt strange to him, but Zhang Yuxi’s deanor was no different from usual.
Lin Feng watched Zhang Yuxi tidy up, occasionally helping a bit.
"Honey, do you rember this dress?"
"You and Little Treasures picked this out for
at the mall when Little Treasures was just in kindergarten."
"This belt used to be my favorite, but later as I gained weight, I stopped wearing it."
"Maybe ask Second Treasures if they’d want it, it’s worth a few thousand."
"Wow, honey, look at this, what is it?"
Zhang Yuxi looked like a child, especially happy sorting through these things...
She brought over two dresses, "Do you rember when these were from? Rember?"
Does Lin Feng’s mory even need ntioning?
"This is from before our marriage, and this is from after you were pregnant."
Zhang Yuxi was surprised, "How did you know? Did I tell you?"
When they truly started to be together, the Four Treasures were two months old.
Lin Feng laughed, "You told ."
Zhang Yuxi knew long ago that her husband had a good mory and mumbled, "I was so skinny back then."
After marriage, more than half of her clothes and jewelry were bought by her husband and children.
Especially the jewelry, kept in her safe and seldom worn.
Tonight, Lin Feng found Zhang Yuxi writing sothing in the study again.
Her eyesight wasn’t good, so Lin Feng walked over, "Want
to write sothing for you?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuxi was so absorbed that she didn’t notice her husband approaching, and she got startled.
Then she hurriedly put things in the drawer, clutching her chest in shock.
This scared Lin Feng too, who asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
He quickly went to get her dicine, afraid sothing might happen to her.
After taking the dicine, Zhang Yuxi cald down a bit, "Honey, why didn’t you knock before coming in?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a mont and still said, "I saw the door was open, so I ca in."
The couple worked openly.
Zhang Yuxi uttered, "Oh, maybe I was too absorbed, did you need sothing?"
Lin Feng’s gaze fell naturally on her drawer but quickly drew back.
"I ca to remind you to rest; it’s ti to sleep."
Looking at the ti, Zhang Yuxi saw it was almost eleven.
"You go first, I’ll tidy up here and join you."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you."
The next day, Lin Feng couldn’t resist opening the drawer to see what Zhang Yuxi had been secretly writing.
Opening the drawer, he found nothing, which made Lin Feng even more curious.
What was it that she needed to hide from him and not let him find?
Lin Feng was puzzled and didn’t ask when Zhang Yuxi returned at night.
"Did you see the picture Jia Yi sent today? Our little grandchild is so cute."
Xuan Jiayi shared the baby’s four-dinsional ultrasound in the chat group today, and Zhang Yuxi instantly understood as an experienced mother.
In the group, others couldn’t even distinguish the baby’s facial features.
Lin Feng also looked, embarrassed to admit he initially couldn’t discern the features.
"I video-called Four Treasures today, oh my, you wouldn’t believe how much they’ve gained weight."
"Here, this is my screenshot."
"Look, see how round the face has beco."
