She glanced up at the floor above.
On the rooftop, Lu Fan was probably still waiting.
She recalled what her daughter, Jiang Silu, had said: "Mom, I think Dad's really changed. He's been so nice to me, and to my brother, too."
'Has he really changed?'
She didn't know.
But she did know that he was now willing to spend time with Silu, to secretly help Sifan, to be good to her parents, and to stand up for her when people looked down on her.
'That's enough.'
As for everything else...
She took a deep breath, opened the refrigerator, and pulled out two cans of beer. After closing the door, she headed upstairs.
On the rooftop, Lu Fan was looking up at the moon.
Hearing footsteps, he turned his head. Seeing Jiang Yixia approach with two cans of beer, he smiled. "Find them?"
Jiang Yixia handed him one can and sat down beside him. She opened her own and took a sip.
It was cold and slightly bitter.
But a sweet aftertaste followed, slowly spreading across her tongue.
