And what about his father?
Was it also because his mother had died on a rainy night that his father always seed so panicked when it rained?
Shen Wenzhou stood by the window, motionless, his mind not only on these thoughts but also wandering to many other things.
...
Daylight broke, and Shen Wenzhou got up and went about his morning routine as usual before heading downstairs for breakfast.
When Shen Wenzhou went downstairs, he found his father also in the living room. He paused for a mont, then called out, "Dad."
Shen Yi turned his head and glanced at Shen Wenzhou, pausing as well when he saw him, then nodded his head, "Mhm."
The mont of stupefaction that Shen Yi had just experienced was not for any other reason but because he noticed the dark circles under Shen Wenzhou’s eyes, clearly indicating he hadn’t rested well.
Having greeted each other, they went to the dining room and sat down for breakfast together.
As they sat down, it seed there were no topics to discuss, so they ate in silence, with only the faint clinking of cutlery in the dining room.
Shen Wenzhou’s thoughts, too, began to drift farther away.
He was sowhat unsure, but those dreams had been troubling him for a long ti, as he hadn’t been able to sleep after waking up yesterday.
He analyzed ticulously, step by step, unraveling the threads until he arrived at a rather absurd idea.
Those dreams he was having weren’t just dreams. They were all of the experiences he’d had in his past life.
He had been reborn.
And, as he deduced step by step, it wasn’t just him who had been reborn, but his mother and father as well.
That’s why he had a completely different life this ti around!
Shen Yi was eating breakfast and glanced over at Zhouzhou, then realized Zhouzhou was daydreaming again. It was obvious from when Zhouzhou had co downstairs that he hadn’t rested well.
Shen Yi thought that perhaps it was because of the torrential rain last night. He felt sowhat helpless. Both he and Zhouzhou hated rainy days, a loathing that seed to be etched into their very bones.
He had long noticed that Zhouzhou had disliked rainy days since he was very young.
But actually, in recent tis, Zhouzhou had been sowhat absent-minded, always seeming to drift off into his thoughts from ti to ti.
Undoubtedly, Taozhi was part of the reason, but it had been over half a month already. If Zhouzhou kept on like this, it was definitely not okay.
"Zhouzhou." Shen Yi slightly furrowed his brow and called out.
Shen Wenzhou was taken aback for two seconds before belatedly realizing and hurriedly responded, "Hmm?"
Shen Yi asked with slight concern, "You’ve been in a bad mood lately. Is everything alright?"
"I’m fine," Shen Wenzhou shook his head.
Shen Yi was silent for a mont, then continued, "I know Taozhi was very important to you, not just to you but to all of us."
"But Taozhi has passed away in peace this ti. We took good care of it all these years in our ho. I think it felt its life was worthwhile," he said.
Continuing after a mont’s hesitation, Shen Yi said, "Now that you’ve grown up, you understand many things. And it’s not just Taozhi; everyone will leave soday."
"But even if we must part, we’ve had many happy monts together. You need to rember those joyous tis and carry those happy mories with you as you move forward in life."
"Zhouzhou, do you understand what I’m saying?" Shen Yi looked at Shen Wenzhou, his eyes carrying a hint of seriousness.
