Seeing that she didn't say a word, Lin Moxiao calmly took out a bamboo flute from the desk and gestured to her: "Would you like to play a song?"

"I don't know this, but I like to listen to it. It seems that you can sing it. I would be very happy if you sing a song." She sat on the small couch next to the floor-to-ceiling window, feeling very comfortable. She found that the view here was very good. She could see the brilliant beauty of the center of Jinling in the distance.

Jiang Shuya held up her chin with both hands, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. Lin Moxiao picked up the bamboo flute calmly and glanced at her: a gentle, mellow and beautiful piece of music broke the tranquility of the moment. The melody was lingering, full of strong attachment, delicate and tender, and euphemistically expressed the deep love and longing for someone, and the sadness of not being able to love someone.

After the song ended, Lin Moxiao still looked at the bamboo flute, carefully stroking the marks on the bamboo joints.

Jiang Shuya wiped the tears from her eyes. She didn't know why, but listening to this song always made her sad. She couldn't control her tears and felt sorry for the deceased. But she quickly came to her senses: "Senior, are you missing your mother? I think she definitely doesn't want you to think about her every day now."

Lin Moxiao's narrow eyes slightly frowned, his expression solemn: "My mother is proficient in many musical instruments. This bamboo flute has been with her for many years. When I was born, my grandfather accidentally found it at Zhong Nanshan's place and gave it to my mother, so he named me Xiao."

Jiang Shuya smiled and whispered, "I see. Fortunately, I am the only one in the audience and I know the story. If you don't know, you might think that you have met your former confidante, but you can't get her love and are grieving alone."

Lin Moxiao looked at her steadily and did not deny: "It is true. There was once such a person in my heart, and now I can't get rid of her. Every time I think of her, I can't sleep properly."

Jiang Shuya suddenly remembered that he had hugged her by mistake just now, and said awkwardly: "Senior, you don't seem like a coward, why don't you be braver? Even if there is no future, if you have fought for it, you won't have any regrets when you think about it in the future."

Lin Moxiao had a complicated expression, somewhat helpless, and said in a deep voice:

"If she goes any further, she will be subjected to moral kidnapping, condemnation from the world, gossip and bad personal attacks. I don't want her to go through this, I'd rather bear it myself."

Jiang Shuya understood that the person in the senior's heart might have already married and started a family like herself, or perhaps the girl was really outstanding and missed someone like the senior. She suddenly remembered the incident in Xixia Village.

She said slowly, "Let me tell you a story! It's a true story from Xixia Village. It's about a couple who missed each other in life. The man's surname was Pan. He and Ding were childhood sweethearts and loved each other. They were also an inseparable couple at that time. Later, they were obstructed by their elders and their parents threatened to die. Pan married Jin. Not long after, the two had a daughter, but Pan was still with Ding and gave birth to a son in secret."

"When the elders of the Pan family heard about it, they took Ding's child away and gave it to Jin to raise. But Jin was in poor health and could no longer have children. They actually agreed. Ding later married into the Luo family next door to the Pan family and gave birth to another child, but she was still constantly involved with the Pan family."

"After the Luo family found out, the man went out for many years and didn't care about Ding and her son. Ding still kept in touch with the Pan family and became sisters with Jin. The three of them actually lived and ate together. Later, the children grew up and they were old. The place was demolished and the man from the Luo family who had been away for many years came back. He got a large sum of money and several houses because of the demolition. At this time, Jin, who had been taking medicine for many years, was exhausted and passed away not long after."

"The Luo family man who came back did his utmost to compensate Ding and her son, and respected Ding's decision to divorce and reconcile with the Pan family. The Pan family man was even more determined to get Ding back, and would not think that Ding would not agree. But in the end, Ding stopped associating with the Pan family. They had agreed to live next door to each other when they got the house, but Ding resolutely gave up the previous agreement and deliberately chose a house after the waiting period. She never saw the Pan family again and divorced the Luo family man. Ding decided to live out her life alone, and lived a comfortable life with the money and house she got. I think Ding had a sudden realization in her old age. She paid a painful price throughout her life in exchange for a peaceful life in the last few years. This is also a clear cognition."

Lin Moxiao: "You want to tell me not to be reckless and just let things take their course."

Jiang Shuya nodded: "You are not the only one who has missed out on this world. It would be best if we could love each other, but isn't it more important to live a better life? Do what you want to do most. I really hope that I can stay in the study alone for a day. This is a kind of enjoyment for me, but I understand that I must first support myself and work hard to give myself what I want."

Lin Moxiao said solemnly: "Are you talking about making money? Why didn't you continue your studies? If you didn't take the college entrance examination, wouldn't it be easier if you had a higher degree as a threshold?"

Jiang Shuya pursed her lips, a little lonely: "Two months before the college entrance examination, I fell seriously ill and needed two years of treatment. The doctor said that I should not use my brain anymore, so I had to give up studying and focus on treatment."

Lin Moxiao was stunned, "It's actually like this."

Somehow he had missed her a long time ago. At that time, he had been training in the base for two years, and the news was blocked, so naturally he could not get any news about her.

She looked so relaxed, the only thing that remained unchanged was her confidence and composure.

Jiang Shuya asked: "Senior Lin, where are you sleeping tonight? Am I taking your place?"

He checked the time and said, "I have a flight at 1 a.m. and will be leaving soon. You can stay here for two days and go back when you feel better. I have already said hello to Aunt Lan."

"No, I'll leave tomorrow morning. Sorry to bother you. I'm much better now. Come find me at Lida Mall and I'll treat you to dinner."

Jiang Shuya suddenly saw several copies of "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" on the bookshelf. Her eyes lit up, she took down the first one and flipped through it.

Lin Moxiao smiled slightly: "How many meals are you going to treat me to? One meal is not enough."

Jiang Shuya smiled and said vividly while holding the book in her hand: "A few meals are fine. I will call Wang Ziliang and my cousin to come over and we will get together. I haven't seen my cousin for a long time."

Lin Moxiao saw that she seemed very interested in the book in her hand: "Okay, let's go to the movies together then! If you like those books, I'll give them to you."

Jiang Shuya waved her hand after hearing this: "No, I'll borrow it and read it! I'll return it to you after I finish reading it. I read some of it in the bookstore before, but I didn't see the last few episodes. I missed it for a long time."

He walked closer to her with interest: "Really? I don't know which plot it is, but I have seen all these movies, so I can tell you about them first."

The two of them sat together on the small couch, close together, and opened the second half of one of the books. Lin Moxiao carefully told her about several murder cases in the second half. Jiang Shuya listened very seriously, with a smart gleam in her eyes.
