Cantou followed Cheng Che around, and Cheng Che saw a little bit of the diary sticking out from inside.
The master passed by Cheng Che's back, looked at the drawer, and said, "The slide is too loose. It's better to replace it, otherwise the drawer will fall out."
Cheng Che: "Okay."
There was a sound of parking outside. Cheng Che leaned over and looked outside. It was Cheng Xiao's car.
Can yelled twice and ran outside.
Cheng Che pushed the drawer inward with a swift movement. He stood at the door and watched Cheng Xiao walk in.
Cheng Xiao touched the can's head with a smile in his eyes, "What's wrong with this mouth? Is it sealed?"
He raised his head and looked at Cheng Che, his smile growing wider.
Cheng Che was silent, as long as he came back safely.
"Think about it?" Cheng Xiao came into the house with two bags of snacks in his hands and looked for Yun Xiang.
Cheng Che: "I went out for something."
Cheng Xiao immediately asked him, "It's going to rain tonight. It's cloudy now. Have you brought an umbrella?"
Cheng Che paused and said no.
"You kids, when will you develop the habit of checking the weather every day?" Cheng Xiao glanced at Cheng Che.
"I'll pick her up later." After thinking for a moment, Cheng Che said, "Dad, I want to talk to you about Yun Xiang."
Although Cheng Xiao didn't know why Cheng Che suddenly wanted to talk about Yun Xiang, this was the first time Cheng Che took the initiative to chat with him, and he was happy to do so.
Cheng Xiao put the food on the coffee table in the living room and said, "I'm going upstairs to change my clothes. We'll talk later."
Cheng Che: "Okay."
Cheng Che sat on the sofa, his head lowered, turning his phone in his hand, feeling calm and anxious.
The wind roared outside, but the house was peaceful. It was as if everyone in the world knew what was going on with Yun Xiang, and he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
Since he was a child, Cheng Xiao has always been a strict father to him, so he doesn't like to communicate with Cheng Xiao, and most of the time he likes to go against Cheng Xiao.
But this time, he wanted to communicate with Cheng Xiao properly. Cheng Xiao should also give him an explanation, right?
"Xiao Che, I have a call, wait for me." At the stairs, Cheng Xiao pointed at his cell phone and said to Cheng Che.
Cheng Che just nodded.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Cheng Che became impatient.
Just as he was about to get up, the glass changer came out of Yun Xiang's room and said, "The glass has been replaced!"
"I have an urgent job here. Just ask your father to send me the money via WeChat. I'm leaving first." The master's phone kept ringing in his pocket.
He pulled out his phone, clamped it between his ear and shoulder, and hurriedly carried the tools out of Yunxiang's room, cursing, "I've told you a lot of people are replacing windows lately. If you can't wait, find someone else! It's raining tonight, I definitely won't be able to make it!"
As he was talking, his cell phone fell to the ground. He bent down hurriedly, picked up the phone with one hand, and carried the toolbox with the other. Unfortunately, when he stood up, he bumped into the desk at the door.
The desk was thin and there was a carpet underneath, so his body fell and knocked over the desk.
Cheng Che hurried over and quickly grabbed the desk. Two drawers on the desk slid out and fell to the ground with a clatter, scattering chocolate candies and diaries all over the floor.
The master looked apologetic and was about to speak when Cheng Che interrupted him, "Go ahead and do your work. I'll clean it myself."
Master: “I’m sorry!”
"It's okay." Cheng Che helped him pick up the toolbox.
The master took the suitcase and left immediately.
Cheng Che glanced into Yun Xiang's room and saw the mess on the floor, which was really a headache.
Cheng Che squatted down, put the drawer back in place, and put the chocolates and candies back into the drawer.
The diary was lying open on the ground. Cheng Che picked it up carefully. Just as he was about to close it, an envelope fell out of it.
Cheng Che had no intention of prying into Yun Xiang's privacy, but the name on the letter made Cheng Che frown.
"Yun, Wei, An?" Cheng Che murmured softly, word by word.
Sounds so familiar.
Yun Wei'an...
Yun Wei'an...
Cheng Che's hand uncontrollably flipped open Yun Xiang's notebook and saw Yun Weian's photo on the first page!
Is it him?
Cheng Che was a little dazed. Yun Weian was Cheng Xiao's partner.
There are many photos of them in Cheng Xiao’s study.
When Cheng Che was little, Yun Weian often visited their home. He never came empty-handed, always buying him plenty of food. Yun Weian was a gentleman and gentle man.
Later, when Cheng Che could remember things, he never came here again. But he always heard about this person from Cheng Xiao.
There is a string of numbers under the photo: October 28th...
Cheng Che was stunned.
He is... Yunxiang's father?
So, Yun Xiang is not Cheng Xiao's illegitimate daughter! She is the daughter of Cheng Xiao's comrade-in-arms!
Cheng Che hurriedly opened the diary in his hand, and when he saw the content on the next page, his pupils constricted.
"In the late summer of 2020, God took away my dad, and I lost the last relative I had in this world.
Dad's funeral was a grand spectacle. They fired salutes, bowed their heads in silence, and cried silently. The five-star red flag fluttered unrestrainedly in the breeze, its golden five-pointed star gleaming brightly. Uncle Cheng told me that Dad was a hero. Of course I knew Dad was a hero.
But every time a hero is born, a family is torn apart. There are elderly parents who lose their children, elderly people who die young, and children who lose their fathers or mothers.
In the coffee shop, Yun wanted to put the cake in his hand in front of a child.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled beautifully, "Baby, your chocolate cake."
The child held the fork in his hand, staring at Yun Xiang with his eyes, then shyly turned his head and called sweetly in front of her, "Mom~"
Yun wanted to turn around and leave, feeling envious.
Cheng Che clenched the diary tightly in his fingertips. When he read the following content, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and he suffocated for a moment.
"Dad, it's raining today.
I still remember that you would always buy a piece of raspberry cake and come home to see me when it rained.
You've asked me countless times if it's delicious, and I always answer yes. Actually, I got tired of it a long time ago, but since my dad bought it, I always eat it up!
Dad, it's eight o'clock. I probably won't be able to wait for the raspberry cake you bought for me, so I decided to go out and buy it myself.
Every rainy day from now on, I will buy myself a piece of raspberry cake. Because only in this way can I feel that you are still by my side...
But Dad, tell me, does longing have a sound?
Cheng Che frowned, and the scene of Yun Xiang arguing with him about "raspberry cake" suddenly flashed through his mind.
——Cheng Che, you don’t understand what this cake means to me!
Cheng Che's throat seemed to be locked by something. He lowered his eyelashes and shame surged in his heart.
Yun Xiang...How would I know if you don't tell me?
There were footsteps on the stairs. Cheng Che looked up, and the corners of his eyes were red.
He closed the diary and stood up, looking at Cheng Xiao, his voice hoarse, "So Yun Xiang is Uncle Yun's daughter..."
