And this is one of them.
Of course, regulations are just regulations, and their implementation will definitely not be so strict.
Anyway, Lu Chen saw people burning paper at the intersection at night several times.
So I guess you can just burn some paper in a deserted corner and no one will notice.
However, as a civilized young man of the new era, he decided to actively cooperate with the government, so he brought Xia Yunian here.
To be honest, the scenery is nice.
And because today is not a festival like Qingming Festival or Zhongyuan Festival, there are not many people. There are only a few groups of people in the huge square, and there is no smoky scene.
The only problem is... it's a little weird to be burning paper on a first "date".
And who are these paper money burned for?
Looking at Xia Yunian, who was standing just a few steps away with his back to him and constantly poking the fire with a small wooden stick, Lu Chen felt a little confused.
According to his previous speculation, Xia Yunian's parents should have passed away.
This incident dealt a huge blow to the latter, and it is estimated that conditions such as autism and depression occurred as a result.
But hasn’t Xia Yunian already “sacrificed” these bad memories?
When I asked her before, she also said that her parents went abroad.
Did he remember it again?
Or are these paper money meant to be burned for others?
"..."
Reaching out his hand to disperse a cloud of black ash that floated in front of him, Lu Chen didn't know for a moment whether he should ask.
Xia Yunian ignored him and just squatted on the ground, slowly stirring the burning paper money in the fire until it was completely reduced to ashes.
"Whoo~"
A gust of wind blew, and the ashes were blown lightly into the sky and then scattered to unknown places.
The sunlight was already somewhat dazzling at this point, and the sparkling river surface looked like golden silk. Only the last bit of the coolness brought by last night's rainstorm remained.
"All right."
Standing up, Xia Yunian put the stick back on the side of the road where he had picked it up, looked at Lu Chen and said softly, "Let's go."
"......Row."
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but asked tentatively: "So you are..."
"It's Mom and Dad."
Unexpectedly, Xia Yunian's answer was not only quick but also calm.
"you......"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say before..."
"That's because, in my memory, Mom and Dad did go abroad."
"...You forgot it on your own initiative?"
"Ah."
"Then why now..."
"Because I'm not stupid."
Xia Yunian lowered his head: "They haven't come back for so long, and I have forgotten these memories. Of course I can guess what happened."
"..."
So you've been deceiving yourself all along, right?
With his mouth slightly opened, Lu Chen finally realized that Xia Yunian had actually always known that her parents were gone.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
It's like a torn diary. Even if you have completely forgotten what happened at that time after several years, when you see the torn edges, you will know that what is recorded on it is something you don't want to face.
Ugh.
Lu Chen sighed in his heart and turned to look at the fire which was now only ashes. He felt a little complicated.
Xia Yunian just looked at him quietly, her long hair swaying in the wind, revealing her fair profile.
Lu Chen had never noticed that Xia Yunian's hairstyle had actually changed slightly compared to when they first met.
Although they look similar at first glance, the originally thick bangs have become much thinner, and the long hair covering the ears on both sides has also become shorter, making the whole person look less depressed.
The most important thing is that Xia Yunian wore a very small silver hairpin in her hair today.
She picked it out herself at the jewelry store.
The style is very ordinary, nothing special, there is no decoration at all, and it is even invisible at night.
But under the bright sunshine, it sparkles with a faint light.
Chapter 327 You are the scumbag
"Hello, Uncle Li."
"That... OK, I get it."
"Uncle Li, if possible, I still want to meet Shu Yu."
"Excuse me..."
Three minutes later, walking on the forest path in Riverside Park, Lu Chen hung up the phone with a complicated expression.
Just now, Butler Li conveyed to him Lu Shuyu's original words -
I just went to visit Wanqing today, nothing else.
There is no doubt that the reason why she said this is that the rich woman has guessed what he is worried about.
Logically speaking, Lu Chen should have breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
After all, since Lu Shuyu has made such a promise, he will definitely not say anything "that shouldn't be said" in front of Qingbao.
But for some reason, Lu Chen's mood not only did not relax, but was a little depressed.
I always feel like I have hurt Lu Shuyu again.
Ugh.
So I still have to go to the hospital in the afternoon to meet people and talk it out as soon as possible.
I sighed in my heart and looked down at the time.
10:08
It's still early...
Putting away his phone, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then turned to ask Xia Yunian:
"Would you like to walk around the park and come back after lunch?"
"It will be all right."
Xia Yunian had no objection, so she nodded and casually smoothed her hair that was messed up by the wind.
And because of her action, Lu Chen finally found the small cherry hairpin.
"Huh? You brought a hairpin today?"
"Um......"
Xia Yunian's face turned slightly red, as if she was a little shy, and she quickly changed the subject: "So have you thought about what you are going to do next?"
"more or less."
Lu Chen didn't care too much about the card issue. He curled his lips and looked away, looking at a small island in the middle of the river:
"Whether the world is ending or not, I've already traveled through time 17 times before, so I'll just keep going."
"I just hope the truth behind this isn't too far-fetched."
"Oh, ok..."
Hearing Lu Chen say this, Xia Yunian finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to ask:
"So how do you plan to keep Sister Lu?"
"Since true confession is useless, I plan to start with Tongsheng."
Lu Chen answered truthfully: "The person Shu Yu is most worried about right now should be Lu Guanghong. If I promise to rescue Lu Guanghong, she will probably stay."
"That's a good idea...but how do we save them?"
"do not know."
"do not know?"
"Well, I just have a rough idea at the moment, and many details haven't been thought out yet."
Under Xia Yunian's blank gaze, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.
"But she will be leaving after the funeral the day after tomorrow. I can only blow the bluff first and keep her here. I'll slowly study the details later."
"I see... How can I help you then?"
"You are not needed for this matter, but you can help research the end of the world."
"Oh yeah, and..."
Suddenly, Lu Chen thought of something and his expression became a little confused.
"If it's an ordinary person, is it possible for him to retain the memory of his previous contact with me?"
"Before?"
Xia Yunian was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what the "before" here meant.
After thinking for a moment, she answered seriously:
