Looking at her mother-in-law's smiling face, Jennie smiled. "Actually, your mother's manner is very similar to my mother's. Some people will believe that they are sisters."
A question rolled out of Lisa's throat. "Do they look alike?"
"Mmm, you haven't seen my mother when she was still alive. If you have, you will know how similar they look when they smile." Jennie didn't stare at her mother-in-law's photo for too long. She continued to flip through the photos, hoping to find the way Lisa looked in his military uniform.
Lisa stood behind the swing and stared at the blooming rose in front of Jennie in a daze.
Jennie's exclamation drew Lisa's attention back.
"Brother Lili, you look so handsome in military uniform!"
Upon hearing this, Lisa looked down and saw a photo of him when he was young. It was a photo of Lisa and Aoyu together. Lisa was wearing a military uniform and standing side by side with his grandfather in front of the military gates. They stood tall and straight like two large cypress trees.
Lisa had seen and also worn many luxury haute couture outfits before, but what he loved the most in his life was that military uniform.
Lisa told Jennie, "This is a photo I took when Grandpa went to visit me at the army after I finished my recruit training."
Jennie touched Lisa's face in the photo and smiled. "You were so young then."
"Don't indirectly mock me for being old. Regardless of how old I am, I am more than enough to satisfy you." Lisa lifted his long legs, flipped over the swing, and sat beside Jennie.
Jennie pretended not to understand his dirty talk.
She flipped to Lisa's graduation photo from high school.
At this point, Lisa's eyes were still sharp and he didn't know how to control his gaze. Wearing a black t-shirt and having short hair, his deep features and those gray-blue eyes made him look like a sharp sword.
Lisa glanced at the photo and saw a rope around his neck.
Jennie was about to observe Lisa's youthfulness, when Lisa suddenly stretched out his long arm and quickly took the photo album from Jennie's hand. He closed the photo album and stood up. "Go have breakfast. We are going up the mountain to pay respects to grandma later."
Jennie had yet to finish seeing the album and was feeling slightly disappointed. She wanted to flirt with Brother Lili, so that she could finish reading the album, but hearing his words, she immediately gave up. She nodded and said, "Let's go eat."
As they walked into the dining room, Jennie asked Lisa, "Tell me if there's anything I need to pay attention to when paying respects to the deceased."
Lisa told Jennie what to take note of.
After breakfast, Zhong Buhui accompanied Aoyu to prepare the offerings, while Lisa went upstairs to change clothes. Meanwhile, Jennie walked up to the television, opened the television cabinet, and retrieved the photo album that Lisa had stuffed in earlier.
She turned back to look upstairs and felt that Lisa probably wouldn't come downstairs for the time being. Only then did she carry the photo album and sit down on the redwood sofa.
Jennie placed the photo album on her lap and hesitated for a long while before opening it.
There's definitely something fishy about Brother Lili suddenly taking away the photo album. Jennie guessed that there must be a secret hidden in this photo album that Lisa didn't dare to let her know. Could it be a photo of him and Somi?
Thinking of this, Jennie flipped to the last few pages.
Jennie flipped to the photo of Lisa's class when he graduated. Lisa stood in the last row but she could not find Somi. It looked like Somi was in a different class from him.
Jennie continued browsing.
Behind that class photo was a photo of Lisa and his brothers. From the start to the end, there was no sign of Somi at all. Jennie couldn't help wondering if Lisa had taken out Somi's photo after they broke up because he detested her.
Zhong Buhui walked over with the offerings. Seeing that Jennie was still flipping through the photo album, he thought to himself: That was close! Luckily, I was meticulous and took out the photo of Lisa and Somi in advance.
Actually, after Lisa stuffed these photos into the album that year, he didn't flip through them again. Perhaps he had already forgotten that there were still photos of him and Somi in the album. Otherwise, the moment he discovered that Jennie was flipping through the album, he would have forcefully taken it away.
He didn't look at them, but Zhong Buhui and Old Master Manoban would flip through them a few times a year, so he naturally remembered them. As Somi was Lisa's first girlfriend after all, even if Old Master wanted to throw away the photos of Somi and Lisa, he had to respect Lisa's opinion, so he didn't take it out.
Previously, when he heard Jennie say that she wanted to look at the photo album, Zhong Buhui was cautious and took out those two photos in advance.
Seeing that Jennie had reopened the photo album, Zhong Buhui secretly rejoiced at his quick wit.
Jennie flipped to the back and saw two photos of Lisa when he was 8 or 9 years old. At that time, Lisa was tall and strong with a round tummy and looked rather simple and honest.
Jennie hurriedly whipped out her cell phone and took a photo of Lisa.
Finally, she flipped to the last page.
In the last photo, Lisa, who was about 15 years old, was wearing only a pair of swimming trunks and standing beside a pond deep in the mountains. At this point, Lisa had already lost weight and his skeletal frame showed a slender, youthful frame.
After taking a few more glances, Jennie closed the album. She stood up with the album in her hands and was about to put it back.
After taking two steps, Jennie's eyes widened slightly. She stopped in her tracks and eagerly opened the photo album again. Her gaze landed on the last photo.
In the photo, there was a black rope pendant hung around the youth's neck. On the pendant was a peace charm with high-grade flowers. On both sides of the buckle were several pure gold beads.
This necklace was very familiar to Jennie. It was lying in her wooden box and she had kept it for many years as a precious treasure!
Jennie stared fixedly at the necklace with tears shimmering in her beautiful eyes.
At this point, Lisa's footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs.
Jennie hurriedly stuffed the photo album back into the television cabinet. She stood up and quickly turned back to see Lisa walking down from the corner platform on the second floor. Lisa was dressed entirely in black—a black suit, a black shirt, black leather gloves, and black leather shoes. This made him look somewhat cold and stern.
Lisa saw that there were tears in Jennie's eyes and frowned. "Baby Nini, what's the matter?" Lisa hurried over to Jennie, lifted her face, and scrutinized it.
Jennie secretly pinched her own thigh. The pain helped her to maintain her composure. She smiled until her eyes were slightly red. She replied in a choked voice, "I'm fine. My toes kicked the TV cabinet just now. They hurt."
Jennie was wearing flat shoes with very soft leather. It was very easy to get injured if she accidentally kicked something.
Lisa believed her. He looked down at Jennie's shoes and saw that the leather was too soft. He said, "Wait!" Lisa quickly went upstairs and came down with Jennie's sports shoes in no time.
"Wear this. We still need to climb the stone stairs up the mountain later. Don't kick it again."
"Okay."
Jennie bent over to change shoes. Lisa turned and walked towards the kitchen. Only then did Jennie dare to wipe her tears with her sleeves.
