But before he could send his question, another message came in.
Little Sun: I don't think we're a good match.
Little Sun: I'm leaving.
Little Sun: I've deleted WeChat too~
The last wavy line seemed to be comforting Master Qin, telling him not to be angry.
Tell him... not to be angry.
Xiangyang wasn't even angry about his "betrayal," and left calmly and deliberately.
When Master Qin tried to send another message, it was no longer possible.
With trembling hands, Master Qin tried to call Xiang Yang, but couldn't get through.
He wants to leave!
He actually wanted to leave!
Master Qin kept thinking about how Xiang Yang had hugged him with a smile and said, "Uncle Qin, I want to live with you."
When exactly did things change?
Qin immediately contacted people and frantically searched for Xiang Yang, even contacting the airlines and delaying several flights, but to no avail.
Xiangyang's departure was as if he had vanished into thin air.
Master Qin kept looking for him, searching in a daze.
Why doesn't he want to live with him...?
It was clearly him who said it...
Mr. Qin sat alone in the living room, slumped on the floor.
The lights in the living room were on, and he sat there alone until dawn, unable to understand what was going on.
Gone?
What good would it do to leave?
Master Qin seemed to have come to some understanding.
Yeah, what difference would it make if they left?
She was only angry because he had played her for a fool; as for anything else, what else?
Uncle Zhang approached hesitantly and said, "Master Qin, Miss Xu is here."
Qin Ye's voice was hoarse, "What is she doing here... let her in."
Xu Ying recently learned that Master Qin had made quite a stir throughout City A, saying he was looking for someone.
She came specifically to check on him, but was startled by his appearance when she saw him.
"Master Qin," Xu Ying stood there, not daring to approach.
Mr. Qin asked her, "Do you want to marry me?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying immediately stood up straighter, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Yes."
Then Mr. Qin asked her, "Then why did you marry me?"
Xu Ying was taken aback, then said sincerely, "For power, and also because that person is you, Master Qin."
Master Qin then asked her, "If someone is unwilling to marry me, it means they don't love my power or me as a person, right?"
Xu Ying didn't know who he was talking about, "...Yes, that kind of person isn't worth you doing this."
Qin Ye finally seemed to understand. He leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and said, "You can leave now."
Xu Ying was confused, but seeing Qin Ye's appearance, she didn't dare to stay any longer.
In Uncle Zhang's opinion, Master Qin had only been acting crazy for a few days. After a few days, the boy named Xiangyang disappeared as if he had never existed.
Year after year.
That passport from back then was just a facade.
Xiangyang did buy a plane ticket, but he didn't board the flight. Instead, he took an ordinary bus, transferred to several other vehicles, and wandered around in a daze for a while before finally settling down in a certain place.
The news about Master Qin that was being broadcast on television gradually subsided.
Master Qin searched for him for four days, and after that, he gave up.
Xiang Yang was quite touched; Master Qin had actually searched for him for four days.
"Wow, he's a college graduate from a prestigious university!" Zhang Lei, the owner of the small auto repair shop, was also incredulous as he looked at the handsome young man.
Such a prestigious university graduate actually came to him looking for a job.
However, looking at this young man, even though he wasn't dressed very well, he had a kind of innate cleanliness about him, and he didn't seem like someone who did this kind of work at all.
The factory was about to go bankrupt, and Zhang Lei couldn't just keep him around like that just because he was good-looking. So he gave him a test drive in a scrapped truck that was about to be taken to the junkyard.
But to everyone's surprise, after examining the items, Xiangyang said, "It can be repaired."
Zhang Lei was so shocked he couldn't speak, but after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't believe it. He raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "Then you come and try to fix it."
Then, after Xiangyang's explanation and demonstration, Zhang Lei was completely dumbfounded.
Fearing that Xiangyang would run away, Zhang Lei immediately made him sign a contract, making him the master craftsman in their factory.
Upon hearing that Xiangyang had nowhere to stay, Zhang Lei quickly offered to rent him a spare room at his home for 500 yuan a month.
Xiangyang naturally accepted it gladly.
When he arrived at Zhang Lei's home, he learned that Zhang Lei had a three-year-old daughter and that Zhang Lei was a single father.
When the little girl saw a stranger come to her house, she kept tilting her head and blinking at him, as if she liked him very much, and immediately asked him to hold her.
Zhang Lei was pleased to see that Xiang Yang also liked his daughter, and said, "Her name is Yan Yan, she's three years old, and she's my daughter."
Xiangyang hugged Yan Yan and was even kissed by the little girl.
Zhang Lei looked on with a hint of delight in his eyes. Wearing only a pair of shorts and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he said, "You two play first. I'll go cook for you."
Xiangyang thought to himself, "This Zhang Lei is quite virtuous."
Yan Yan hugged Xiang Yang's neck and said, "Handsome brother, my dad's cooking is so delicious."
"Really?" Xiangyang teased the little girl.
"Really? Really!" The little girl's eyes sparkled. "From now on, Daddy will cook for you!"
Xiangyang didn't realize there was something wrong with what she said, and thought it was just something the little girl said casually because she didn't know any better.
This is a very small city with a low cost of living. Zhang Lei's place, though called the city, is actually more like a small town.
The pace of life is indeed slow.
This place is only a four-hour drive from City A.
It's not exactly close, but it's not really close either.
If there's no fate between them, even if they live in the same neighborhood, they might never see each other in their entire lives.
Zhang Lei is a very good cook, especially when it comes to home-style dishes, which are very authentic.
Xiangyang ate this for four years.
Four years later, that three-year-old girl is now in the second grade of elementary school.
"Godfather," Yan Yan said, tugging at his little hand, "would you like to come to the school meeting with me? You're so handsome!"
Zhang Lei set out his chopsticks, feigning anger, "Hey! So, if Dad goes, it'll embarrass you?"
Yan Yan stuck her tongue out at Zhang Lei, "Let godfather go!"
As she spoke, Yan Yan hugged Xiang Yang's neck and gave him a quick kiss.
"Okay," Xiangyang pulled Yan Yan closer to his arms, "Godfather, let's go!"
Zhang Lei looked on, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Let's eat quickly!"
The school teachers are already very familiar with Xiangyang, and Yan Yan has never been willing to explain herself clearly.
