Chapter 207

~3 min read 557 words

Uncle Zhang turned his head and listened for a very, very long time.

Fine salt-like snowflakes had already settled thick across his shoulders.

He looked at the ice sculpture of the deer, then, as if set at ease, lifted his head to gaze at the sky.

Let the past be sealed away.

Let it be sealed and cast into the sea......

The snow that falls today.

When spring's sorrow arrives.

Will flow along the Mohe River into the Black Pang River.

And merge into the even more distant Sea of Okhotsk.

Its final resting place, the Pacific Ocean.

Time cannot be held back, like flowing water.

When Qin Feng placed the harmonica against his chest.

And set down the guitar in his hands.

The moment he turned around, Reba threw her arms around him!

"Can Uncle Zhang hear this song too?" Reba mumbled with her face buried in Qin Feng's chest. She didn't want to cry either.

But it was very hard to hold it in.

But after learning Uncle Zhang's story.

Every single lyric Qin Feng had just sung struck right at the heart of her.

Although in Mohe in March.

She hadn't gotten to see the aurora as she'd wished.

But at this very moment, Qin Feng became a ray of light in Reba's heart!

Brighter than the brightest star in the sky!

Illuminating her entire little world.

And as for Uncle Zhang Dequan's story.

Only Qin Feng and Reba truly knew it; what the others could understand was more like the story of this whole city. Not of any one specific person.

Just now, the lights in the surrounding residential buildings that had dimmed lit up once again.

Many, many middle-aged people sat by their windows and listened to the entire song.

Those lyrics so many of them couldn't understand.

Yet made even more of the people living in this city tear up with emotion.

Yet it moved even more of the people living in this city to tears.

Qin Feng received a text message.

It was sent by Uncle Zhang:

【Xiao Qin, thank you. Wishing you both all the best and peace.】

Qin Feng saved and favorited this message.

Reba peeked at his screen through the gap in the military coat.

Qin Feng grabbed her by the collar of her big floral-padded jacket and tugged her out from his embrace.

Qin Feng: "Learned to sneak a look at your boyfriend's phone, have you?"

Reba: "I was looking openly and honestly! I didn't sneak!"

Whether it was because the weather was too cold.

Or because her nose had turned red from crying.

Qin Feng said: "How come your nose looks like a pickled one?"

Reba pouted, her eyes red as well.

She truly hadn't expected Qin Feng to be joking around at a time like this!

She said: "Qin Feng, can you promise me one thing?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "No."

Reba asked indignantly: "Why not?"

Qin Feng looked in the direction Uncle Zhang had left.

He shrugged and said: "If I promise something and can't do it later, wouldn't that be awkward?" Reba shook her head: "This is something you can definitely do

He shrugged and said, "If I promise something and then can't do it later, wouldn't that be awkward?" Reba shook her head: "This is something you can definitely do.
