Lin Chen took the train back to Aunt Qi's city. He thought about it for a long time before deciding where to go. After all, he was familiar with the city. Although he hated it, there was nowhere else to go.
After getting out of the car and standing at the crossroads, one would eventually be confused about where to go. In the past, when one got out of the car, they would still know where they wanted to go and what they wanted to do. Even though everything was beautiful at that time, what about now? Lin Chen sighed. It was as if everything was changing.
The city looked even more unfamiliar. The streets were even more crowded, and there were even more tall buildings. It was as if all of this was not hindered at all.
Lin Chen returned to the basement that she had lived in for half a year. She looked around. It seemed that this was the only place that hadn't changed much, but she still felt unfamiliar and lonely.
Lin Chen walked to Aunt Qi's door and tried to knock on it after a long time. It was as if he was afraid of touching the iron door. Lin Chen tried several times before he finally knocked.
" Aunt Qi…" Lin Chen decided to greet Aunt Qi and see what was going on.
"You're back? You've lost a lot of weight." Auntie Qi looked around and said," Is everything…alright at home?”It was a polite way of asking.
"My grandmother passed away!" Aunt Qi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly answered.
"Child, think about it, you are still young.”
"Yes!" Lin Chen nodded and whispered.
"By the way, why didn't you inform me in advance?”Aunt Qi suddenly spoke. Lin Chen thought that it was about the house and that it might not be convenient.
"Is it a little inconvenient?" He asked tentatively.
" I'll keep the house for you. If I had known you were coming, I would have cleaned it up earlier…" Lin Chen was glad that she was being polite or that she really knew how to clean. At least, Lin Chen rarely encountered such a thing in this city.
"Thank you very much. I'll go down and pack up first!”Lin Chen declined.
"Why don't you wait for me and I'll go down to help you?”Aunt Qi was wearing an apron and seemed to be busy with something. Lin Chen quickly stopped her." It's alright, Aunt Qi. You have something to do first. I'll go and take a look myself. It's too messy."”
"Alright, then let me know if you need anything.”
" Okay," Lin Chen replied as he walked towards the basement.
As he walked down the stairs, there was not much dust around him. Lin Chen thought that it must have been cleaned by Auntie Qi. At the end of the stairs, there was a blue iron door. Although it was a little old, it was still safe. Lin Chen took out the key and opened the door. He saw that all his things were still there. The familiar scene made Lin Chen feel at ease, but his heart was still empty.
The small accessories and cups on the table were neatly placed together and covered with a small piece of checkered cloth. The small table lamp was bought a long time ago. When Lin Chen first came, he was afraid to turn off the light at night because he had his grandmother accompanying him since he was young. However, when he first came, he did not dare to sleep alone. He was afraid of the dark and was afraid of being alone, so he bought a small table lamp. Lin Chen had always slept with the small table lamp on. It had never changed. When he was at home, he was always close to the window. That way, he could be closer to the stars and the sky, but there was nothing in the basement.
The purple coat on the hanger was bought for her by her grandmother. She had never been willing to wear it. When she first wore it after coming to the big city, she realized that it was too small. She used to feel that it was a pity, but now she realized that in her grandmother's eyes, she had always been a child who would not grow up.
Would people feel terrible when they died, and would they still think about having an afterlife?
Lin Chen stared at the familiar memories in a daze. He thought about a lot of things and slowly touched the things that had given him endless memories. He felt the heat of the past inch by inch.
Lin Chen carefully scrubbed through everything. He saw that each item had a different story. Perhaps it was the fascinating part. Different stories played out different lives.
After Lin Chen packed up his daily necessities, he lay on his bed in a daze. The weather was still very cold. It was almost the New Year. The city should be filled with the festive atmosphere. He had never celebrated a festival in the city since he was born, but it was destined to be less fun.
