Chapter 216 The Road of Parting
Shang Ziming's unfinished words made Su Xiao's heart skip a beat, and she immediately interrupted, "I don't think it's troublesome at all."
Su Xiao blinked her innocent and sincere big eyes, and her earnest little face made Shang Ziming lose all his temper, leaving only a heart full of doting, "You, little liar."
Shang Ziming glanced at his watch, then at the people already waiting not far away. Though reluctant, he had to say goodbye. "I'm leaving now. If you need anything, you can write a letter, send a telegram, or make a phone call. Also..."
He paused slightly. He had originally intended to tell her not to be bullied, but then he remembered the time she beat someone up. His gaze towards her became meaningful again. He had thought that she liked a weak and delicate woman who needed protection, but he never expected that beneath her gentle appearance lay such a fierce personality.
He didn't feel deceived; on the contrary, he thought she was being very kind.
“…Be good.” Shang Ziming reached out and ruffled her hair, causing Su Xiao to yell, “What are you doing? You’ve messed up my hairstyle!”
Shang Ziming smiled and gently touched her cheek. "Let's go."
After bullying her, Shang Ziming finally left, satisfied.
Su Xiao's face was flushed red, down to her ears.
No matter how reluctant we are, we still have to say goodbye eventually.
Su Xiao stood at the intersection, watching the departing military vehicle, and sighed deeply, thinking to herself, "It'll be soon."
A brief separation is for a better reunion. Kyoto, just wait, she will definitely come.
"Let's go, let's go back too." Su Xiao composed herself, smiled and turned around to look at Old Man Hua, Tian Sheng and Tian Niu.
"Yes, go back, there's still a lot of work to do." Old Man Hua agreed, turned and left, but looking at his figure, he seemed much more lonely than usual.
Seeing this, Su Xiao skipped over and took his arm, saying affectionately, "Master, don't be sad. I'll make dumplings for you tonight. Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Cai, and Grandma Cai won't be able to eat any."
"Good, good, haha, that's right, they won't get any." Old Man Hua laughed heartily.
After cheering the girl up, Su Xiao turned to Tian Niu, waved to her, and said with a smile, "Tian Niu, come here, come back and help your sister make dumplings, okay?"
Sweetie was probably the saddest of all. When they parted, Grandma Cai and Sweetie cried so hard that Grandma Cai almost didn't want to leave.
For a full ten years, one lost her parents and the other was separated from her children. They were each other's best salvation, accompanying each other through the most difficult days.
In the hearts of the elderly, Tian Sheng and Tian Niu are their nephews and nieces, the hope for the future, and Tian Sheng and Tian Niu also regard them as their closest relatives.
Now, the sudden departure has left them completely bewildered.
"Okay." Sweetie smiled through her swollen eyes from crying. She knew she shouldn't cry but should smile because Grandma Cai and the others could finally go home to find their children and live happily ever after. That was good. But she just couldn't help it; she couldn't bear to leave.
Su Xiao patted her head and smiled, "Sweetie, do you believe your sister?"
"I believe you," Sweetie nodded firmly.
"Then let me tell you, you will definitely see Grandma Cai and the others again in the future." Su Xiao looked at her, her eyes full of seriousness.
Sweetie nodded, "Yes, I believe in my sister."
With faith in our hearts, life has hope, and life goes on. There is no more confusion, only the unwavering light that shines forth.
