"mother?"

Xie Ling ran over and hugged An Xuetao's waist.

An Xuetao probably just came out of the cake shop, her whole body smelling sweet.

She gently touched Xie Ling's head and said, "You haven't sent any news in such a long time. I was worried sick."

After a pause, An Xuetao turned her gaze and asked, "Who are these two people? Are they your friends?"

The moment he saw Wei Xiuchu clearly.

An Xuetao's eyes suddenly widened and she clenched her fists.

An almost imperceptible step back.

The past events came one after another, all that tenderness and old dreams, the spring flowers and the autumn moon quickly replayed in my mind.

It was as if someone was holding her heart tightly.

It made her feel sour.

I thought I was so carefree that I no longer cared about those old things, but when I saw someone who looked like him, I couldn't help but be moved.

That was her only old dream during her difficult girlhood years.

But this person shouldn't be him.

He was so free and unrestrained.

It is an eagle in the sky and a sharp sword.

His back was straight, and when he smiled the stars in the sky poured into his eyes. He was born to be proud.

It will never be like this...

As if to comfort myself.

An Xuetao murmured again in her heart.

Yes.

Absolutely not.

Xie Ling nodded and introduced them one by one.

Wei Linglong called her aunt sweetly.

An Xuetao suppressed her emotions, her eyes curved, "This little girl is so cute, I'll make you something delicious later."

After saying this, An Xuetao looked towards Wei Xiuchu.

She spoke softly.

"You are Linglong's uncle, right?"

Wei Xiuchu responded with a hoarse voice and his head slightly lowered.

"Um."

Wei Xiuchu's expression paused slightly, and before he could recover from his surprise, overwhelming inferiority complex surged up like a flood, quickly sweeping over his entire heart.

His throat felt dry and he didn't even dare to look up at An Xuetao's face.

After so many years, Xiaotao is still as beautiful as ever.

He has disabled legs, sits in a wheelchair, has a disfigured face, and wears a mask.

He is no longer the high-spirited Chu Xiu of those days.

Just a useless person sitting in a wheelchair.

Wei Xiuchu's heart slowly sank, his chest was filled with grief and he could hardly breathe.

I wish I could hide these broken legs in a dark corner never to see the light of day again.

A heart-wrenching pain swept through his body, and Wei Xiuchu began to cough uncontrollably. His cough was heart-wrenching, and his exposed neck turned red and covered with blue veins. A pool of blood instantly appeared on the ground.

Xie Ling was surprised and rushed over, patted Wei Xiuchu on the back, and gave him a few more injections. Only then did Wei Xiuchu slowly come back to his senses.

Wei Linglong looked worried and almost cried, "Uncle, are you okay?"

The pain in Wei Xiuchu's heart had not yet completely dissipated, and he slowly shook his head.

In a hoarse voice, he said, "Nothing, it happens all the time."

In just a moment, Wei Xiuchu made up his mind.

You must not let Xiaotao know who I am.

There was still worry in Xie Ling's eyes.

Why did the uncle's body suddenly become dying and full of death?

An Xuetao didn't say anything, but her heart was weighed down.

Wouldn’t the man’s reaction when he saw this be too great?

Wei Xiuchu stiffened his neck and shook his head, "Don't worry about me, just talk about your own things."

Xie Ling frowned. The uncle's body couldn't wait any longer. He had to start treatment tonight. There was no time to lose.

An Xuetao asked, "A Ling, bring your friends to my place for dinner tonight?"

Just as Xie Ling was about to say "They are not hungry", she heard Wei Xiuchu's deep voice.

"good."

Xie Ling nodded, "Okay, mother."

After talking for a while, Pei also arrived.

First, he excitedly gave Xie Ling a big hug.

Then he glanced at Gu Wei beside him and said, "If you come back one day later, I'm afraid some people will die of lovesickness!"

With so many outsiders around, Gu Wei's face turned slightly red and he lowered his voice and called out "Mom".

Pei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Hearing that An Xuetao was going to cook, the two of them went out hand in hand and discussed what to cook for dinner tonight.

Wei Linglong noticed that something was wrong with her uncle and tilted her head, "Uncle, why do I feel like you're weird?"

Wei Xiuchu came back to his senses and shook his head.

"No, let's go."

——

An Xuetao's yard was extremely lively at this moment.

The news of Xie Ling's return spread quickly, and many people put down their work to see her.

Wei Linglong has a lively personality and soon started playing with Gao Wanhua, Wu Zhengqing and others, with everyone laughing and chatting.

Wei Xiuchu sat in a wheelchair, looking around calmly.

After finding that there was no trace of the man, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look happy.

There is no one else around Xuetao now, so after he has healed his legs and face, can he ask for Xuetao's forgiveness?

He will definitely treat Xie Ling as his own child.

As he thought about it, Wei Xiuchu's heart sank again.

It was he who broke his promise back then. How could he make up for the fifteen years of absence?

How could he have the nerve to beg for Xue Tao’s forgiveness?

He shouldn't disturb her peaceful life.

Looking at the woman washing vegetables not far away, Wei Xiuchu's eyes were gloomy.

It's already good enough to be able to watch over her and protect her like this.

Standing beside her? He didn't deserve it.

An Xuetao is washing vegetables.

Suddenly I noticed a burning gaze.

She gathered her long hair behind her ears and just as she looked up, she saw the man in the wheelchair not far away, staring at her.
