In fact, what caught my attention before I realized that the other person was approaching was the smell of perfume on Hong Shangying.

Huibara touched her face that was kissed, raised her head, and saw the embarrassed and shy figure of Hong.

"…………"

With a soft sigh, Huibara also sat up from the chair.

She walked slowly to Hong Shangying, bent down slowly, and kissed the woman's beautiful neck gently.

Hong Shangying seemed to feel a little itchy and subconsciously shrank back.

However, Huibara did not stop there, but continued to kiss Hong Shangying's neck, and then licked it in small sips, like a cat drinking water.

Hong Shangying went from being shy at first to being stiff when he reacted.

While the woman was still dazed and stiff, Huiyuan straightened up again with an expressionless face, touched the wet mark on her childhood sweetheart's neck, and seemed to recall the house-playing game they played when they were young, so she curled her lips slightly:

"Good morning kiss, darling."

Chapter 60 Hometown

After breakfast, Huibara took Hong Shangying's car to her hometown.

In previous years, when Huihara wanted to go back, she sometimes borrowed the principal's car, and sometimes took a bus, but it was quite troublesome for her, and a round trip was often very tiring.

So this time was also new for her.

In Huibara's impression, women are generally not very good at driving, at least Huibara herself is like that, but Hong Shangying drives very well, steadily and skillfully, and you will feel a sense of reliability when sitting in the passenger seat.

After the car drove for a while, Huihara's attention was inevitably attracted by a round object on the front desk of the car. It was a cute yellow little robot-like thing with big eyes.

She gently picked up the little robot.

This seems to be a small toy made by Hong Shang. Its name is Haro, which has the same name as the mascot in the Gundam animation series, and looks similar in appearance.

Hong Shangying has been a somewhat strange girl since she was young.

While other girls were still playing with magical girl dolls, Hong Shangying was playing with the kind of Gundam model that boys would play with.

So there were no girls playing with Hong Shangying at that time.

The model at that time seemed very troublesome to Huiyuan, as it required glue and various tools. After playing with Hong a few times, Huiyuan gave up and could only watch her play.

Later, when they went to junior high and high school together, Huiyuan gave Hongshang that kind of toy several times until Hongshang went abroad.

After Huibara put down the little robot, they were almost at the old town.

The surrounding buildings gradually became smaller and older, covered with the temperament of time, but for the two of them, there was an unexpected feeling of nostalgia.

Since she went back once a year, Huihara was very familiar with the way back to her hometown. Before lunch time, they arrived at the old neighborhood where she lived when she was a child.

Her hometown was an old-style detached house, also known as a single-family building. It was quite large compared to the apartment she lives in now, but no one had lived there for a long time. It looked a bit desolate, and the houses nearby were of the same color.

After not seeing you for a year, I really feel nostalgic.

After taking out the key to his old home that he had used for many years, Huihara smelled a heavy smell of dust as soon as he opened the door.

After all, it hasn’t been cleaned for a year.

Every time after coming back, Huibara has the habit of cleaning the place first, but cleaning by one person is a huge project. In previous years, it was still a troublesome task even for her and Kirori alone.

"Lily, let me help you."

Hong Shangying picked up a broom.

"You're not good at this, so I'll do it."

Before she started cleaning, Huibara touched her childhood sweetheart's face and tidied up her long hair which was beginning to get a little messy.

In her memory, her childhood sweetheart was not really someone who was good at work.

Since I was a child, even taking a bath was a hassle.

Even when I grow up, I can probably only barely make a living and not starve to death.

At least that's what Huibara thought during the few times they spent time together after growing up.

Hearing this, Hong Shangying was not very satisfied.

"I'm not a kid anymore."

Huiyuan thought for a moment and said calmly:

"Have you ever cleaned up after you grew up?"

“…It was cleaned by a robot.”

When she grew up, she learned to use the little robot she made to help clean the house.

"I want to clean this place myself." Huiyuan gently took the broom from Hong Shang's hand and said, "Be good."

After that, Hong Shangying was coaxed and sat obediently in the corner, watching Huibara clean.

Huibara wanted to clean up by herself.

This old house may never be inhabited again, and cleaning it once a year doesn’t seem necessary, but for her, this is where she lived as a child and where she lives with her family.

She just wanted to clean the place herself.

Huihara took off her coat and put on a plastic cleaning cover, and the annual cleaning began.

This process takes about two hours.

…………

By the time I finished my work, it was already noon.

In fact, Huihara didn't bring her daughter back here every year before.

Most of the time, she likes to come back alone.

After all, before she left this home, Kirio had never lived with her and had no experience of living here.

When Huibara returns to her hometown, she would like to stay here for a while.

Sometimes she feels a little uncomfortable if her daughter is around.

This time, he suddenly asked Hong Shangying to accompany him back because he recalled his childhood.

When he was a child, at her invitation, Hong Shangying came to the door of her house alone.

I remember the little girl with long hair and a withdrawn temperament, holding a toy that was not suitable for her, and timidly asking myself if I could play with her.

The two of them had many memories together in this old house.

At that time, her parents were still alive.

After cleaning the house, all that remains is the mourning hall where my parents stayed.

Huihara remembers that she was very afraid of death when she was a child.

I am also afraid of when my parents will die.

So she would always ask them tirelessly what would happen if they died and what she should do.

Most of those answers were about decades later, and even now Huibara hasn't lived that long.

But there were some more, and Huihara did it.

For example, her parents hope to continue to stay in this house after death. A portrait is enough. There is no need to visit them often, which is too troublesome. It will be enough to visit them once every few years.

So every year when Huibara goes back to her hometown to clean the house, she can also visit her parents.

After walking into the room where her parents used to live, Huihara saw the portrait placed there not long after entering.

She closed the door carefully so that Hongshang wouldn't see it for the time being.

She took out her newly bought handkerchief, carefully picked up the portraits of her parents and wiped them gently.

She wiped very slowly.

While wiping, he calmly muttered to himself:

"It's been ten years. When I think about it carefully...I seem to be almost thirty."

Her birthday is shortly after the next semester starts.

By then, she would be twenty-eight years old, one step closer to thirty.

And more than ten years have passed since she was a high school student.

Come to think of it, I feel a little sorry for my parents.

She has never been in a relationship until now, and it is probably impossible for her to get married in the future.

"You left so fast that I can hardly remember anything."

Many things about that period were a little blurry in Huibara's mind, even the appearance of her parents had turned into old photos with filters, and only became clear again at this moment.

Just like a dream.

After all, after they passed away, everything passed by too quickly.

During that time, she also thought about committing suicide. After all, at that time, it was a very tiring thing to live alone.

Fortunately, she did not give up later.

Huiyuan looked at the black and white figure in the photo:

"I didn't bring Tongzhi this year, but I brought Hong here. She has changed a lot compared to before."

Sometimes, Huiyuan finds such conversations very strange.

If there really are spirits in heaven, are they everywhere, or do they only exist near the physical body?

Huihara thinks it's probably everywhere.

But she still speaks where she feels closer to her parents.

"I still haven't found someone to marry this year, and I don't know if the person I like is interested in me. She is a very elegant and gentle music teacher, just like Aunt Yuriko used to be."

Aunt Yuriko was the older sister who lived next door to Haibara when she was a child, and she was also a music teacher.

The teacher often accompanied her and gave her cake.

Huihara likes that sister very much.

But that sister eventually moved away, like most people you meet in life.

When thinking about the past, Huibara always feels lost.

"Not only that, starting this year, I'm the class teacher."

"The final result was not very good, and there were a few problems, which made me very hard."

After wiping the photo, she stroked it gently.

Now, she is an ordinary high school teacher, receiving a moderate salary every day and worrying about trivial matters in the class.

The fun thing is drinking with the female classmate who teaches music.

The unhappy thing is that students were punished by their leaders for skipping classes.

"I still haven't become a successful person. Apart from my daughter, I haven't met anyone who likes me very much."

“I sometimes feel lonely…”

She still lived a life without any surprises, just as expected.

Lonely, boring, and depressed.

She had no one to confide in regarding these emotions and thoughts, except her deceased parents.

…………

After waiting in the living room for a while, Hongshang saw Huihara walking out of the room.

After visiting her parents, Huibara's expression was still calm, but a little more depressed than usual.

There was no sign of sadness on Huibara's face that came from having been separated from her family for many years.

After raising her head and seeing Hong Shangying, Huiyuan was silent for a while. She lowered her eyelids as if thinking or reminiscing, and then raised them again and whispered:

"Before...you often played house with me here, remember?"

After Hong Shangying came to her house once, they started playing together often, and Hong Shangying also came to her house many times.
