Chapter 255 Why So Much Nonsense?
In a daze, Zhong Wan seemed to see Uncle Fu's phantom from the painting reappear under the old locust tree, holding Big Black, standing there quietly, and once again showing everyone that simple and radiant smile.
The smile froze for a moment in the flames, then turned to ashes along with the drawing paper.
That small clump of ashes was also swept up by a sudden gust of wind, mixed with the white snowflakes, swirling and veering towards the gray sky, disappearing in an instant.
Uncle Fu's obsession... has truly vanished completely.
Until the very end, he never mentioned his parents again...
Even the system in Zhong Wan's mind remained silent.
Her mission was accomplished just like that.
There are no regrets, and no imperfections.
His parents had fled to a distant land to save him, only to forget him when they found new hope. The mentally challenged child became someone they deliberately erased from their memories.
Today, he is no longer just a child trapped at the village entrance, waiting foolishly. He has found his own direction and is heading towards that free and unrestrained sky.
"Comrade Zhong Wan, Mr. Lin, the snow is getting heavier, shouldn't we..."
Chen Mo's sudden voice interrupted Zhong Wan's thoughts. She came back to her senses, looked at Shi Xiaoming's family, and then at Xiaoying, who was being held in Xiaoying's mother's arms. She watched as Xiaoying stretched out her little hand and waved it towards the sky, as if she was greeting Uncle Fu, or as if she was saying goodbye to him.
As if sensing Zhong Wan's gaze, Shi Xiaoming turned around, his eyes red as he looked at Zhong Wan and nodded slightly: "Thank you."
His voice wasn't loud, but Zhong Wan heard it very clearly. She shook her head and didn't say anything.
Instead, he looked at Lin Yan'an and Chen Mo and said, "Let's go, call Mom and Dad, let's go home."
As Zhong Wan spoke, she started walking, reminding Chen Mo, "Tell them to go home early too."
"good."
Chen Mo nodded in agreement, then turned his head to give Xiao Zhao a slight nod.
Xiao Zhao understood immediately and turned around to make the arrangements.
The snow at the village entrance gradually intensified, and the villagers dispersed with mixed feelings.
In the blink of an eye, the bustling village entrance fell silent.
Snowflakes fell one by one, slowly covering the traces of where they had once lingered.
Upon returning home, the warm air instantly enveloped them, dispelling the chill they had picked up outside.
Zhong Wan took off her coat and slumped down on the sofa.
He Qilan hurriedly urged, "Yan An, go sit down for a while first. I'll go make some ginger soup, and we can all have some."
Without giving Lin Yan'an a chance to react, He Qilan hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
"I'll go help."
As soon as Lin Yan'an finished speaking, Zhong Yuansheng's hand landed on his shoulder.
Lin Yan'an immediately looked away, turning to look at Zhong Yuansheng with a puzzled expression.
Zhong Yuansheng patted his shoulder with a smile: "Yan An, just listen to your mother and go sit with Wanwan for a while."
His words were gentle, but his attitude left no room for refusal.
Lin Yan'an nodded obediently and agreed, "Okay."
Zhong Yuansheng nodded slightly and casually asked, "By the way, where's Sui Sui?"
【Meow? 】
Before Lin Yan'an could reply, Zhong Suisui appeared instantly upon hearing someone ask her a question.
Its figure instantly appeared above Lin Yan'an's head, looking down at Zhong Yuansheng and calling out.
[Meow~ Grandpa, Sui Sui is here.]
"Oh~ Sui Sui is here."
Zhong Yuansheng's voice softened considerably, and he looked up at Zhong Suisui with a beaming smile, coaxing, "Grandpa will take Suisui out to play tomorrow~"
Okay!
Zhong Suisui happily agreed, moved her little body a couple of times, and nimbly jumped onto Zhong Yuansheng's outstretched hand.
"Sui Sui is such a good girl~"
Zhong Yuansheng looked down at the kitten in his arms, gently stroking its little head with one hand and holding its little body tightly with the other.
Lin Yan'an silently watched everything before her, seeing the intimate way the old man and the young man were acting, and hearing Zhong Yuansheng's somewhat husky voice, she couldn't help but shiver.
Zhong Wan was the same; she sat on the sofa, turned to look at her father.
Watching her father holding Zhong Suisui and coaxing her in a soft, inaudible tone she had never heard before, she couldn't help but rub her arm and say, "Dad! Can you be normal? I'm getting goosebumps."
Zhong Yuansheng glared at her speechlessly and said disdainfully, "What do you know? Go away."
“Our Sui Sui loves Grandpa like this, doesn’t she, Sui Sui?”
As he spoke, he looked tenderly at Zhong Suisui in his arms, affectionately nuzzling his cheek against its kitten-like face.
Zhong Suisui cooperated very well, tilting her kitten head back and nuzzling against it.
Although it didn't speak, the comfortable gurgling sound from its throat said it all.
Zhong Wan rolled her eyes speechlessly and looked away.
Lin Yan'an couldn't help but smile at the scene before him. He walked over and sat down next to Zhong Wan, naturally reaching out to hold her slightly cool hand, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
Zhong Wan leaned against him instantly, shook her head, and sighed softly, "I'm not tired, but... I feel a little empty inside."
Once again, I witnessed the dissipation of a soul, and personally bid farewell to an obsession.
Even though she knew it was to help them get rid of their burdens, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Lin Yan'an held her hand tightly with one hand and put his arm around her shoulder with the other. He didn't say anything, but he was silently comforting and supporting her.
He Qilan quickly cooked ginger soup and each of them drank a bowl.
After drinking the ginger soup, Zhong Wan felt her body warm up instantly.
After finishing their drinks, the group chatted in the living room for a while.
With nothing else to do, she dug out her old deck of cards, which was almost covered in dust, and started playing.
Just as Zhong Wan was getting into the game, her phone suddenly rang.
She turned her head, picked up her phone,
"Hey, it's my uncle on the phone. Why is he calling me so late?"
"Correct A."
While playing her cards, He Qilan took a moment to reply, "You'll know once you take the card, why all the nonsense?"
Zhong Wan gave a soft hum and raised her hand to answer the phone.
"Hey, Uncle."
"Hey Wanwan, I heard you're back?"
He Qijiang's voice came through immediately, and Zhong Wan responded with a smile: "Yes, he came back yesterday."
"Yes, I heard. Wanwan did something big again today."
Zhong Wanzhen was surprised that her uncle knew about today's events. Hearing this, she could only smile helplessly.
"No way, Uncle, don't joke with me."
"Okay, let's get down to business,"
He Qijiang knew Zhong Wan's personality, so he stopped teasing her and instead asked seriously, "Wanwan, when do you think our project will open?"
