The Other Side 392

He did not wish to reminiscent about Mu Qingcheng either.1

Because the moment one recalls the past, one may realize that one can't turn back time and some people are gone forever.

He had been deluding himself, and trying not to remember anything of the past.

Only now, as he watched Gong Shaoying and Yun Shishi reunited in an embrace, he realized that the father and daughter had finally reconciled. If his mother were still around and saw this scene, she would probably be extremely gratified!

On the other hand, if his mother were still alive, a reconciliation would have happened much earlier.

Yun Shishi had never minded Gong Shaoying hurting her. She understood, and everyone could see his sincerity towards her. However, she could not forgive him for how he had kept her mother waiting in vain all her life.

This was a memory that Gong Shaoying had never dared visit.

20 years had gone by.

It would be a lie to say he had not had a female companion in the past 20 years, but gradually, he realized that he no longer needed a woman.

Some people are simply irreplaceable.

Gong Jie could no longer bear to watch this. Infected by this atmosphere, he looked a little dejected. He turned around silently and walked downstairs with his hand on the stair railing, as if he was exhausted.

On the way back to his room, he ran into Hua Jin.

"Eh, Gong Jie…" However, halfway through his sentence, the actor paused and fell silent. He was shocked to find that Gong Jie's face was tear streaked.

No matter how hard Gong Jie tried to hold back his tears, he failed.

Gong Shaoying had been waiting for Yun Shishi's forgiveness, but he never had any expectations.

Just like how Mu Qingcheng had waited for him without any expectations.

However, after more than 20 years, Yun Shishi finally understood him. At the same time, her forgiving attitude seemed to echo the same sort of forgiving that Mu Qingcheng showed towards him.

He finally realized that his mother's long wait had finally come to fruition…

All these years, he had a vague feeling. His mother was clearly still by his side and had not left. Sometimes, in his dreams, he could clearly hear her.

Perhaps he did not realize that deep down, he actually detested Gong Shaoying. Now, it was time for him to let go of it all…

"What's the matter?" Surprised by how dejected Gong Jie looked, Hua Jin started walking towards him.

Gong Jie did not say a word but instead, he gently clasped Hua Jin's shoulder.

"Don't move…"

"What's the matter?"

"Lend me your shoulder… just for a while…" The man leaned his head weakly on the actor's shoulder. It was as though he had placed all the weight of his body on the actor.

But Hua Jin kept silent. Infected by Gong Jie's emotions, he simply stood still while the man leaned on him.

…

That night, as he slept, Gong Shaoying suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.

He felt as though he was half-awake. While his mind was very clear, his consciousness had already entered a dream-like state.

In his dream, he clearly saw himself standing in a dilapidated neighborhood. This was a very backward residential area. There were only five floors to the old wooden houses. There were even many cracks on the walls, and a growth of moss had gradually spread into them.
