The First Heir

At night, Philip stood in the yard of his residence with his hands in his trouser pockets. He looked up at the bright moon and stars in the sky. The sky was filled with stars, forming a vast starry map.

As he looked at the shining stars, he suddenly thought of his mother for a moment.

He remembered when he was young, he would lean into his mother’s arms and smell the faint fragrance of her body. He listened to her counting the stars and the stories he told her.

“What’s the matter? What are you thinking? It’s getting windy. Put your coat on.”

Suddenly, a soft voice of concern sounded at Philip’s side.

Philip looked sideways and swept Wynn into his arms. Wynn accompanied Philip to look at the stars in the sky.

“Wynnie, tomorrow is the ancestor commemoration ceremony,” Philip said.
