After my mother died, I thought it would be a creditor, a relative, or an old flame she didn't want me to know about after her divorce.
It turned out that the person who came was a twenty-one-year-old boy.
Wearing all black, he stood outside the mourning hall and handed me a bunch of keys.
"Auntie asked me to give it to you."
I stared at him for a long time, suddenly feeling ridiculous.
My mother didn't tell me when she was sick or hospitalized. Her last words before she died were -
"Don't tell Wen Che."
But she gave him the key.
I hate Cen Xu'an.
I hate that he knew my mother was going to die earlier than I did.
I also hate that he is obviously just an outsider, but he is more like her last family member than me.
Later I realized that there was never just a dead person between me and Cen Xu'an.
There was also the hatred that I couldn't express, and the secret that he couldn't express.
