Chapter 351: Good Morning, Uncle! (2)
Xie Xuning returned to the room. That chubby Qie Yiyan was sleeping on the carpet.
Xie Xuning squatted down and pushed Qie Yiyan.
“Qie Yiyan, go back to your room and sleep, and don’t cause any trouble!”
Qie Yiyan didn’t respond. Instead, he turned over and continued to sleep like a dead pig.
Xie Xuning had no choice but to take a thin blanket and cover Qie Yiyan.
Fortunately, during this season, the weather was warm, so even if he slept on the ground for one night, he wouldn’t get sick.
Moreover, when Qie Yiyan was on missions, the conditions were much harsher than they were now.
After Xie Xuning took a shower, he sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling gla.s.s window while looking at the small photo in his wallet.
This was a photo of the two of them.
Xie Xuning’s fingers were touching Ye Linlang’s face in the photo.
In fact, upon looking closely, he saw that Ye Tianxin and Ye Linlang didn’t appear to resemble each other that much.
Xie Xuning wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb. It would be nice if he had gone back a little earlier.
If he had returned earlier, Linlang wouldn’t have died for love.
If Linlang hadn’t died for love, they would be like an ordinary couple, raising a small family, living in a small town.
From then on, they would have lived a simple yet blissful life together.
Xie Xuning closed his wallet. His eyes wandered at the myriad of people in the distance.
This city was the place where he met and fell in love with her, but also the place where he lost her…
Xie Xuning sighed. He truly missed her.
He thought of her every day and night after she died.
Xie Xuning walked to the wine cabinet and poured himself a gla.s.s of wine. He held the gla.s.s, and the red liquid swirled in the gla.s.s.
Xie Xuning opened his wallet again and raised his gla.s.s to Ye Linlang in the photo. “My sweetheart, I met a girl today, and she is just like you. Her temperament resembles yours. You know, if it weren’t for the fact that I know you’re no longer in this world, I would have suspected that she is my daughter.”
“Darling, if you see her, you will think she is our daughter as well.”
“Darling, today, I went to the places we used to visit. Those places have changed a lot.”
“Darling, I miss you.”
“My love, I know you don’t like me drinking, but I can’t help myself. If I’m drunk, will you come to see me in my dream?”
“Darling, you said that when I am old, we will meet in the afterlife. At that time, you would still be young and beautiful, while I will already be a withered old man. Would you despise me?”
“My wife, I miss you… Every minute, every second, I miss you…”
Xie Xuning drank one gla.s.s after another. He really wanted to get drunk.
It was a pity that even though he got drunk that night, she, whom he longed for in his heart, didn’t appear in his dream.
With his trusty body clock, at about six in the morning, he had already woken up.
Xie Xuning changed into sportswear and went to the hotel gym. He ran on the treadmill for nearly an hour.
When he returned to the hotel room, Ye Tianxin had just come out of their room.
Xie Xuning used the towel hanging from his neck to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
“Good morning, little girl!” His voice was hearty.
Ye Tianxin flashed a smile. “Good morning, Uncle.”
“Little girl,” Xie Xuning grabbed the doork.n.o.b and turned to look at the well-dressed Ye Tianxin, “did Qingcang trouble you last night?”
