Cheng Shaolin inquired for a long time but couldn't find out much about his parents.
The most talked-about topics were my uncle's family and my grandfather's affairs.
I only have very little information about my parents.
No matter what, how come there's only news about one of the grandfather's two sons, while almost no one knows anything about the other?
Why is this happening?
No matter what, a father's death can't be completely useless, right?
Why do people only talk about their uncles and cousins?
He would never believe it if there wasn't something fishy going on.
After asking around for a while, the person who talked the most was actually my eldest cousin.
Ha, his good cousin is so highly regarded by his grandfather, how come he doesn't know when his grandfather changed his surname?
His good cousin is stubborn and arrogant; how could he be of any great use?
Grandpa is really so at ease?
Oh--
Cheng Shaolin had many thoughts on his mind. Without seeing his parents, he could only speculate about many things.
It seems I still need to go home.
"Xiaoxiao, I need to go back to my house. Will you come with me?"
Seeing Cheng Shaolin's eager gaze, Li Xiao smiled and said, "What, brother, don't you want to take me?"
Cheng Shaolin chuckled and pinched her little nose. "How could that be? I still need to take my wife back to meet my parents."
Li Xiao blushed at his words.
“Brother, it would be good to go back and visit. If Uncle and Aunt are really not well received at home, I think,” Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin seriously, “what do you think about bringing Uncle and Aunt out?”
Cheng Shaolin was surprised, not expecting Li Xiao to think that way. Then, after thinking about it, he felt very gratified.
Xiaoxiao is still so easily moved to pity.
Since Xiaoxiao said so, that's for the best.
I'm afraid of my parents...
Okay, we'll see when the time comes.
If your parents aren't happy about it, you can try to persuade them later.
“Okay, it’s good that you go back and take a look. It wouldn’t be right for you to come back and not go back to visit,” Yu Yanbin said.
"Go back tomorrow and visit your aunt and uncle first, then we can talk about the rest."
Cheng Shaolin nodded.
The next morning, well, it wasn't very early.
After Li Xiao got up, Li Xiao took her to the city center.
The grounds at the Kyoto base have been cleared, so there's no need to go skiing.
Although there was still snow on the ground, it was a new layer that had been laid overnight.
The snow accumulation is not thick and does not affect travel.
"Crunch, crunch—"
"Crunch, crunch—"
The two walked side by side.
Cheng Shaolin held Li Xiao's hand, afraid she would slip and fall.
"Xiaoxiao, I already told Yanbin and the others yesterday that you should hide your special ability for now."
Li Xiao smiled; it was exactly what she wanted.
"No, that's exactly what I was planning to do too."
Cheng Shaolin and Li Xiao exchanged a smile.
Looking at the city wall that separates the inner and outer cities, Cheng Shaolin and Li Xiao stopped in their tracks.
How to distinguish between the inner city and the outer city is clear from these city walls.
This city wall is the dividing line.
The city wall separates the inner city from the outer city, making the inside and outside clearly distinct.
The central street leads all the way to the foot of this city wall, where a huge city gate stands.
The city wall here is not as tall and sturdy as the base gate; it's much shorter.
After all, this is inside the base, so there's no need for such thick walls.
Similarly, there was a small window under the city wall, and someone was inside.
Cheng Shaolin glanced at Li Xiao and walked towards the small window.
"Who are you?" the person inside asked.
"I want to go in and find someone."
The person inside the window glanced at Li Xiao behind Cheng Shaolin: "You know the rules, right? You can't stay overnight inside. You have to come out after one day."
"I know," Cheng Shaolin nodded.
"Okay, please state your information."
“Cheng Shaolin…”
"Where is she?" The person inside the window gestured with their chin toward Li Xiao.
“Li Xiao…”
"Okay, take these. You need to be out by 6 p.m.
“Okay.” Cheng Shaolin took the card that the man handed him and walked towards Li Xiao.
Cheng Shaolin handed the card to Li Xiao, who took it and began to read it.
The card is the same size as the old business card.
It had her and Cheng Shaolin's names, along with the date and time, written on it.
Li Xiao flipped through it and figured this should be the pass to enter the inner city.
Let's go.
Cheng Shaolin took Li Xiao's hand again, and they passed through the city gate and entered the inner city.
The inner city and the outer city are different.
“The inner city is quite different,” Li Xiao said, looking at the clearly defined buildings.
"Well, since it's for important people, it's definitely different."
Buildings in the inner city are generally lower than those in the outer city because there are more villas inside.
The further out you go, the taller the buildings become; the buildings inside are not very tall.
The streets were clean, with one path leading out. Some of the accumulated snow was piled up on both sides of the street.
Cheng Shaolin had already found out which direction his family was talking about, and now he was taking Li Xiao directly in that direction.
Li Xiao observed that these villas were not all the same.
Some are big, some are small.
Larger villas are located further inside; those further out are not very large.
Cheng Shaolin was also seeing it for the first time, and like Li Xiao, he observed as he walked.
The two remained silent, taking in everything they saw without saying a word.
When I stood outside what I thought was the Cheng family's villa, I realized that the Cheng family's villa was actually quite large.
