Chapter 603: Madam Shu
After the Lantern Festival, the weather began to clearly warm up.
“Miss Song, the Old Master left this for you before he went abroad.”
“Hmm? I got it. Thank you, Uncle Zhang.”
After the Lantern Festival, Old Master Huo flew to an overseas manor to retire. It was said that the manor was personally designed by Madam Shu. At that time, they had agreed to retire together and raise some pets when they were old.
But time passed quickly, and things had changed.
Now, only the old man was left.
Song Yaoyao was given a well-preserved wooden box. The paint on the edges was a little old, exuding a quaint smell.
Song Yaoyao opened the wooden box and saw that it was full of photo albums.
During the New Year, the old man had promised to give this to her, but afterwards, she got busy and didn’t have time to spend with him.
The album was categorized according to time and age, and there was one every year.
It stopped abruptly ten years ago.
Although Song Yaoyao had only heard of Madam Shu’s name from other people, she still felt sad when she saw it. So many people loved her, but the world was unpredictable.
The book at the top appeared to be the one she browsed the most. The edges were wrinkly due to frequent touching.
She opened it.
What entered her eyes was a photo of a woman when she was young.
She wore a wedding dress and smiled brightly at the camera. It was as if there was a ball of fire in her soul, and anyone who saw her could not help but be attracted to her.
Her facial features were not very beautiful, but they were very generous. Her eyebrows were thick and black, her eyes were huge, and she had the most vibrant red lips. Her raven-black long hair was curled up into big curls, a trend of that era.
Of course, looking at it now, a beauty was still a beauty. No matter the era, she did not look outdated. She simply looked stunning.
Song Yaoyao looked through the pages one by one.
She realized that Madam Shu really liked to smile. She revealed two rows of snow-white teeth, and the dimples on her cheeks were sunken.
She also wore many beautiful dresses, and she dressed elegantly. Occasionally, she would even wear a qipao. Qipao’s didn’t suit every body shape but it outlined her graceful curves, making her look elegant and graceful. However, she wasn’t always glamorous in the photos. There were also photos of her without makeup and even photos of her wearing a sun hat and rubber shoes, squatting in the garden weeding.
Most of the photos in this earliest album were of Madam Shu. Song Yaoyao flipped to the last page and saw the message on it.
It was taken in 19XX: Wishing Ah Shu beauty forever.
In some of the later albums, Grandfather Huo would occasionally appear. When he was young, Song Yaoyao thought she saw Huo Yunque for a moment. Their facial features were very similar. However, Grandfather Huo’s facial features were more profound, while Huo Yunque’s facial features were more gentle and deceptive.
In the photos, his eyes would always be filled with his lover, and his deep love was almost overflowing from the photos.
Song Yaoyao also looked at their wedding photos. Next, Madam Shu was pregnant. Her smile became gentle as she stroked her belly and looked at the camera as if she was looking at the person behind the lens.
They were very in love, and the child in their belly was born out of all their love and expectations.
After seeing all these, Song Yaoyao realized that she no longer had any strong desire to see Huo Yunque’s childhood photos. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to see them, but he was already hers.
The previous photos were too meaningful. After looking through them, it was like she had watched a large-scale romantic idol drama.
The hero was handsome, and the heroine was beautiful.
