Always with me eternally

Chapter 3: Into the mind of a young child

After their bitter yet sweet meeting, Feng Jiu and Dijun sat down as they were sharing a cup of tea. She then wraps her hands into his arms and leans onto his shoulder. 

"Are you sleepy?" He then asked her as he felt her embrace digging deeper into his side. "Just lean on my side a little bit more."

Feng Jiu just smiles as she looks at her son as she shakes her head. But she had missed the feeling of laying in his arms and the smell of sandalwood. 

"No, I slept long enough."

Dijun smiles brightly for the first time today as he held onto her hands and leans onto her head. He watches as his son was catching the dragonflies in the air. 

"Father lord!" Gun Gun then said as he runs to his father.

Dijun then look at his son.

"What is it?" He then asked calmly.

"We should take mommy to a really beautiful place!"

Feng Jiu smiles as she grabs onto Gun Gun and let him sit onto her lap.

"Gun Gun, are you saying that the scenes in Qing Qiu are not beautiful enough." She then asked him.

 Her hand slightly brushes through the young child's silver threads of hair and began to smooth it out. He then fiddles around with the strings of his robe as he shakes his head.

"No, it's not that. I have explored Qing Qiu already! I want to go see more."

It had to amaze Dijun how Gun Gun was so much to Feng Jiu. From his eagerness to explore the world. When Feng Jiu was in a coma Dijun often let Gun Gun explores Qing Qiu to where his heart desires. Although Gun Gun had an adventurous personality he was a smart child. At an early age, he had read many books and could even read poems from memories. He also was a very talented painter. When Gun Gun and his mother Jiu Jiu were in the mortal realm he often paints her a picture if he had time. For instance, he had painted flowers for her to mountains and even festivals. It had made Feng Jiu quite proud that she hangs up every painting he had made. And carefully kept all his achievements in her heart. 

Dijun then wraps his hands around his wife and patted his son's head.

"Gun Gun, aren't you asking too much?"

Feng Jiu smiles as she looks at Dijun hushing him. 

"Since I'm in a good mood we could go somewhere." She then said to Gun Gun.

The thought of exploring something new had made his heart jumps as he looks at his mother with his pearl-like eyes asking her to show him. He even pouted a little at his father. 

After a while with no prevail, Gun Gun stands up and was about to walk away. When his father held onto his hand.

"Gun Gun, mother, and I will take you to a nice place."

Dijun's hand then hover as the tea set had disappeared. In his hand holds a picnic basket as he helps Feng Jiu stands up. Grabbing onto his hand he told Gun Gun that he would lead the way.

"Donghua my dear, are you sure he'll know the way?"

Dijun turns to Feng Jiu and gave him a small kiss onto her forehead.

"He'll know." 

Now Gun Gun wasn't sure where he as going as he walks deeper into Qing Qiu. The ten thousands of peach blossoms had been confusing to him as he hops from one place to another. During his station in Qing Qiu, he wasn't quite sure which way was left or right. There were times when God Zhe Yan had to help him out from the mazed.
