Regardless of the conclusion, Song Mingqian was heartbroken, feeling as if his internal organs were being burned.
But now, does he even have the right to ask these questions?
The principle of "do not look at what is improper" has taught Song Mingqian over the years that it is time for him to leave.
But the accumulation of countless intense emotions prevented him from taking a single step.
Song Mingqian stood in the shadows of the trees, silently watching the two figures.
The distance between them was so great that he couldn't hear what they were saying.
All that could be seen was Lin Banxia whispering something to the man, her eyes still gleaming with gentle light.
Song Mingqian became even more silent as a result, watching the two walk under the streetlights from afar.
The falling light and shadow stretched their shadows very long until they overlapped.
This feeling seems so intimate.
A sharp, dull pain shot through Song Mingqian's chest, but he could only turn away and leave silently.
In the quiet of the night, his silhouette looked particularly somber.
But just like his arrival, it went unnoticed.
Lin Banxia was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice that someone was standing on the other side of the woods, watching her for a long time.
She simply lowered her eyelashes to conceal the deep weariness in her eyes.
She hadn't been feeling well lately. Lin Banxia coughed softly, and when she spoke again, her voice sounded extremely hoarse.
"So much time has passed, and there's still no news of my daughter Huanhuan?"
Unlike others, she did not forget the pain of losing her daughter, but hid it beneath a seemingly calm exterior.
That's her daughter.
From the moment Huanhuan was born, Lin Banxia looked at the tiny bundle in the swaddling clothes and thought to herself.
This is her precious baby, whom she carried for ten months. Even if everyone in the world abandons Huanhuan, she would never be willing to be separated from her.
Unfortunately, the more you want something, the easier it is to lose it.
Lin Banxia couldn't remember how long she and her Huanhuan had been separated.
For years, she has been searching everywhere for traces of her daughter.
Even when the whole country was about to be turned upside down, they never thought of giving up.
Since her current connections and relationships are insufficient to help her find her daughter, she will strive to reach even greater heights.
Lin Banxia joined the band with a determined effort and climbed the ranks steadily until today, where her fame and influence have grown, and she has met more and more people.
She thought that with so many connections she had made, surely someone could help her find her Huanhuan.
Countless times, news came that someone resembling her daughter had been found there.
No matter how far away she was, no matter how hard Lin Banxia worked, she would always go over to see her in person.
Unexpectedly, despite all her efforts, all she got in the end was empty joy.
Lin Banxia went there full of excitement and anticipation, only to return disappointed.
This experience repeated itself again and again, and the intense emotional fluctuations almost ripped her heart out.
The singer, who appears to be living a glamorous life, is actually plagued by internal strife.
Lin Banxia has exhausted herself, both mentally and physically, yet she still insists on always giving her best on stage.
This will take a toll on her even more.
Those around her know that Lin Banxia is now barely hanging on by a thread.
Zuo Wenxuan, as Lin Banxia's senior, had been watching her closely and couldn't help but feel extremely sorry for her.
"It's rare that work is relatively easy these days, Banxia, just listen to me this once and have a good rest at home."
A gust of wind blew by, causing Lin Banxia's skirt to clung tightly to her body.
Beneath the fabric, the figure appeared even thinner and more fragile, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Zuo Wenxuan felt a pang of pity watching her, as if afraid of frightening her, and his voice gradually softened.
“If this continues, your body really won’t be able to hold on.”
Lin Banxia seemed not to hear him, only repeating herself over and over again.
"How can I rest? I can't rest."
"My Huanhuan is probably waiting for me somewhere right now. She left home at such a young age, she must be terrified."
"My heart breaks just thinking about her. The more efficient I am, the sooner I can bring her home. How can I bear to rest?"
As Zuo Wenxuan listened to her murmurs, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he were being pricked by needles.
But he couldn't just let Lin Banxia continue like this.
In her quest to find her daughter, Lin Banxia's emotions have teetered on the brink of collapse.
If even she can't stay conscious, they'll collapse before the child is even found.
Zuo Wenxuan took a deep breath, quickened his pace, turned around, and gently grasped Lin Banxia's shoulder, trying to persuade her.
"Didn't you personally go to a mountain village to take a look at it at the beginning of this month?"
“The girl who meets the criteria is not the one we are looking for. You have seen her with your own eyes and personally confirmed her identity.”
"Yes, I've confirmed it. That girl isn't the one I'm looking for."
Lin Banxia tugged at the corners of her mouth, a bitter smile appearing on her face.
But soon, she forced herself to pull herself together, brushed away Zuo Wenxuan's hands, and said to him almost stubbornly:
"But what about next time? I've gathered quite a few useful clues, so maybe I'll be able to see my daughter next time."
"Senior brother, I know you mean well, but I know my own physical condition. I'm perfectly fine now and can handle it."
Her most serious illness is her heart disease. As long as her daughter can be found, she will naturally get better.
Looking at Lin Banxia's expression, Zuo Wenxuan suddenly fell silent, unsure of how to persuade her further.
Over the years, he had witnessed all the efforts and sacrifices Lin Banxia had made in searching for her daughter.
Not only did she personally travel all over the country, but she also organized all the clues she came across and helped many other families.
Lin Banxia also repeatedly organized everyone to go to various towns and villages to perform charity shows.
She always performs at her highest professional level, singing one song after another, bringing positive energy to everyone and healing many people.
At the same time, in order to attract more people to stay and watch, she could also spread the news.
Despite being one of the top singers in China, Lin Banxia's material conditions are far from what others imagine.
She lives a very simple life and rarely spends energy on dressing herself up. She avoids clothes and cosmetics whenever possible.
It was only thanks to Lin Banxia's good temperament that her dress, which she had worn for many years, didn't look too shabby.
