Xueba at the same table from the future

Chapter 289 Someone Stayed in Yesterday

When Chen Mu saw Bai Duanyun again, he was wearing white clothes.

The boy's figure was thin and small, and he looked extremely inconspicuous among the lively guests around him.

But he still knelt silently and kept quiet until Chen Mu came to help him up.

"My condolences to you, Baimei. Old Yu is considered a happy funeral at his age."

"I know, otherwise they wouldn't be blowing the suona so loudly."

After Chen Mu finished taking pictures of the ashes on his knees, and then bowed twice to the old man in the portrait, Bai Duanyun dragged him to a corner, and looked at the lively guests outside with a pair of eyes indifferently.

"Most of the things were done by me and my father. As for Lao Yu's family, they were responsible for the process of the banquet later."

"I must be tired these two days. The monitor also asked me to comfort you."

Chen Mu patted Bai Duanyun's shoulder twice, looked at his reddened eyes with distress, and handed him a wet tissue.

This was probably the first time in his life that he faced death. Helplessness and hesitation were all written on his face, leaving nothing but silence.

As for Chen Mu, he had already experienced this kind of scene in his previous life, so he naturally seemed a little indifferent.

"Muzi, tell me, do souls exist after death? Or reincarnation?" Bai Duanyun suddenly tugged on Chen Mu's sleeve.

"This kind of thing should be believed or not, but now, Baimei, you should have your own answer in your heart."

Chen Mu was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then his eyes lit up again to respond to Bai Duanyun, and at the same time he repeated a word over and over in his mouth.

"Reincarnation—"

"Anyway, I believe it." Bai Duanyun also grabbed Chen Mu's wrist, echoing his muttering.

"Until now, I'm actually still in a daze, as if Lao Yu is still by my side."

"At the end, he asked me to shave him a clean crew cut, just like when he first met me..."

……

Bai Duanyun dragged Chen Mu to talk a lot, until the sun set to the west, he finally reacted and changed the subject.

"Have you eaten yet, Muzi, why don't you go over there to eat first?"

"It's okay, I'm not hungry."

"Me too." Bai Duanyun pursed his lips, then glanced at the strange guest over there.

"Here, it's really hard to eat, after all, those so-called relatives of Lao Yu..."

"The thing the old man told you before, I still refused in the end, and only wanted the barber shop."

"That's good, I didn't reject all of them, lest Lao Yu will scold you when he goes down."

Chen Mu had already expected such an answer, and was not too surprised. Instead, he patted Bai Duanyun's shoulder twice with a smile.

"Since Lao Yu chose to leave the shop to you, then Baimei, you should do a good job and don't dishonor his name."

"It's natural..." Bai Duanyun lowered his voice for no reason.

"After all, Lao Yu is not only my master in this respect, but also my mentor on the road of life."

"How do I remember, Lao Yu didn't regard you as an apprentice before." Chen Mu couldn't help replying poorly.

"It seems that you, this apprentice, have long since grown out of blue."

"It would be nice if it was like this, hey——"

Bai Duanyun suddenly bowed his head in silence, then led Chen Mu out, and quietly stared at the busy banquet guests.

"Old Yu said before that the lights of the assembly were turned off very quickly. He didn't quite understand it before, but now he finally understands it."

"People take tea to cool down, and rabbits to die while dogs cook, which probably refers to the current situation."

"Old Yu's so-called relatives didn't see any of them when he was critically ill, but at this moment they all gathered together like flies..."

"Worldly people, it's normal." Chen Mu patted Bai Duanyun's shoulder again, trying not to let this guy go further and further down the path of angry youth.

"By the way, Muzi." Bai Duanyun continued to complain to him as if he didn't hear Chen Mu's words.

"That building, the thing we sneaked into last time was also discovered by them..."

"It's - it's okay, it's okay, we'll just change to another place then."

Chen Mu didn't expect such an incident, but for the sake of Bai Duanyun's mood at this time, he still didn't say much.

"There is no need to change places." Bai Duanyun continued to add at this moment.

"What?" Chen Mu tilted his head in confusion.

"Since those people are more boring, there is no need to entangle with them anymore. It's just a change of place. In fact, it's nothing to worry about."

"This matter is beyond my control, this is Lao Yu's intention."

As he spoke, Bai Duanyun took out a thin letter from his chest, judging by the degree of wrinkle of the paper, it seemed that it had been placed for a long time.

"Muzi, this is what my old friend asked me to give you before he left. He said it was to congratulate you and your sister-in-law on their happy wedding."

"The last one left by Lao Yu?" Chen Mu's eyes shrank when he heard this, and he quickly opened the letter.

"Xiao Chenzi, I said last time that I would at least see your proposal. I'm really sorry that it didn't come true."

"Nine times out of ten, the world is unsatisfactory. You little guy must remember this sentence in the future."

The handwriting on the letter was scrawled and crooked, completely different from what Chen Mu saw in the ward that day.

Chen Mu couldn't help recalling that familiar afternoon and the message printed on the title page of the book.

"This old man, why is he like a child, even though he is still teaching people how to do things at this time."

He smiled helplessly, but Bai Duanyun's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice a little.

"I didn't see my sister-in-law coming here today, otherwise I should have said something with you."

"When I went back that day, Lao Yu was already on the verge of dying, but he kept talking."

"When it comes to Muzi and you two, this old man is obviously much more energetic than usual, and he even has the energy for me to help him sit up slowly."

"Ahem..." Bai Duanyun clenched his fists and coughed a few times, then imitated the last appearance of Lao Yu at that time.

The bright-eyed old man was half leaning against the wall, holding the back of Bai Duanyun's hand with one hand, but squinting at the fallen yellow loquat tree outside the window.

"What the doctor said at the time was not wrong at all. If you survived once, you may not be able to survive the second time." Lao Yu kept complaining like this.

"There's just one thing you need to know, little baizi. Your little brother who is too lazy to move is also entitled to know."

"Things like dreams, love, and opportunities, if you miss it once, there may not be a second time."

"Old Yu left silently after saying this, just like lying on a hospital bed with his eyes closed when we met that day."

Bai Duanyun's gaze seemed to penetrate the sunset glow in the sky at dusk, trying to find the familiar figure from behind in the clouds.

"It wasn't until that moment that I finally realized—"

"Actually, the real farewell didn't include the ancient Changting Pavilion, or persuade you to drink more wine. It just happened on a morning like usual, and someone stayed there yesterday."
