Chapter 1535: Chapter 1287: Is There Ever Eternity in This World?

Song Yansheng and Yu Yao spoke for less than a minute, then hung up. He looked apologetically at Shi Nuan beside him and said, "It seems we can’t go to Nuan Residence today!"

Although Shi Nuan was sitting next to him earlier, she didn’t catch what Song Yansheng and Yu Yao were discussing.

Shi Nuan asked, "What’s wrong? Is there something going on with Mom?"

Song Yansheng shook his head: "I don’t know the specifics, but Mom said she needs to handle some things right now. It’ll take her about an hour to return, and she wants us to wait for her at the old house!"

Shi Nuan said "Oh" and felt inexplicably uneasy.

Song Yansheng noticed Shi Nuan’s expression, took her hand in his palm, and comforted her: "Don’t worry, perhaps Mom is bringing us good news!"

Shi Nuan pressed her lips together and nodded.

Song Yansheng said, "Mom will take some time to return, and we cannot just sit in the car doing nothing. Let’s go, I’ll take Nuannuan to stroll in the garden!"

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, and she eventually nodded, saying, "Alright!"

The scenery of the old house, although resembling that of Song Mansion, with its similar Gardenia Forest and picturesque views.

However, this house, having been established for many years, has an ancient and unpretentious aesthetic that Song Mansion cannot match.

The two strolled in the front yard for over ten minutes, chatting casually, though mostly it was Song Yansheng talking and Shi Nuan responding lightly.

Song Yansheng knew Shi Nuan was worried, and he was worried too.

Earlier on the phone, Yu Yao tried hard to control her emotions, but he still sensed the unease in his mother’s tone.

He wasn’t concerned about those; he worried if his mother’s unease had anything to do with Shi Nuan.

"I heard the backyard’s greenhouse had just transplanted some Clivia, and they bloomed a few days ago. Would Nuannuan like to see them?"

Shi Nuan nodded: "Sure!"

On the way to the backyard, Song Yansheng explained Clivia to Shi Nuan, saying this flower is an extraordinary sight among many, with its fruit, leaves, and flowers creating beautiful scenery. It’s known for allowing people to enjoy its flowers in one season, its fruit in three, and its leaves in all four.

Shi Nuan asked, "So when we go, should we view the flowers, fruits, or leaves?"

Song Yansheng laughed: "It’s up to fate, as Clivia blooms from winter to spring, but might also bloom in summer or fall, making it a mysterious flower!"

Shi Nuan said "Oh."

Song Yansheng asked: "Moreover, Nuannuan hasn’t mentioned whether she wants to view flowers, fruits, or leaves?"

Shi Nuan’s eyes lightly twinkled, and after a while, she said: "Let’s view the leaves, since you can view them in every season, so whether or not I see flowers or fruits, I won’t be disappointed!"

This remark carried some melancholy, and Song Yansheng unconsciously tightened his grip on Shi Nuan’s hand and said, "I believe wherever Nuannuan is, there will be miracles!"

Shi Nuan smiled at Song Yansheng; she really didn’t care about miracles; she just wanted life to be stable, smooth, and simple.

Also, she wanted the man beside her to love her a bit more purely!

The two continued forward and soon reached the greenhouse door.

The florist quickly came out to greet them.

Song Yansheng explained their purpose for visiting, and the florist said, "Mr. has come just in time, those Clivia plants are now at their peak..."

"Wait, don’t say it, let us see for ourselves!"

Song Yansheng stopped the florist, turned to Shi Nuan, and said: "Let’s go, Nuannuan, let’s go in and have a look!"

Shi Nuan nodded, and the florist led the way. Just as the three were about to enter, they heard a child crying not far away.

Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan both paused and turned their gaze.

They saw a seven or eight-year-old boy standing there crying.

It was unclear why he was crying.

"Why is there a child at the old house?" Song Yansheng asked.

The florist quickly apologized, saying: "Sorry, Mr., Lady, my wife has business today and couldn’t take care of the child, so I brought him to the old house. I’ll go check on him right away; Mr., Lady, please wait!"

Shi Nuan glanced at the boy not far away and said, "You’d better go check, we’re alright!"

The florist acknowledged and quickly went there.

Song Yansheng said, "Let’s go, I’ll take Nuannuan to see the Clivia!"

"Wait..." Shi Nuan stopped Song Yansheng, released her hand, and walked a few steps to a grassy area nearby.

Then she bent over and picked up a palm-sized transparent plastic ball.

Inside the ball were toys of small plastic fish and seaweed.

And from afar, Shi Nuan heard the boy tell the florist: "Dad, my ball went missing, Little Mei gave it to me, but I can’t find it, boo hoo..."
