Mr. Li hurried to the study just to avoid Li Jinnian downstairs, but he didn't know that Li Jinnian had heard everything.
"I heard Jinnian is back, where is he?" Li Ronghuan pretended not to hear anything, turned around, and looked upstairs, "He's not still sleeping upstairs, brat, don't you know your second uncle is back?"
On the second floor, after listening for a while, Li Jinnian slowly retreated to his room. Then, he opened the door again, closed the door again, and slowly walked towards the first floor.
There were footsteps coming up the stairs, and downstairs came the angry rebuke of Mr. Li, "Why do you care about an outsider? Second Uncle, in his eyes, all of us in the Li family are outsiders!"
Li Ronghuan turned a deaf ear to him and instead quickened his pace to go upstairs. Before he reached the second floor, he stopped and looked up at the young man standing at the stairs on the second floor.
"Jinnian, long time no see." Li Ronghuan smiled with deep surprise on his face. At 48 years old, he did not look old. He had the casual temperament of an artist all over his body. Li Ronghuan was also the one who looked most like Old Madam Li. When he smiled, his eyes were more charming and curved. A smile would make people feel that he looked several years younger in an instant.
Li Jinnian looked at the middle-aged man who smiled at him and saw a sense of familiarity on his face. He found that... he and Li Ronghuan were somewhat similar.
Not like his father, but like his uncle!
Some past events came flooding back like a tide, and Li Jinnian couldn't help but tighten his hands as he twisted the camouflage travel bag.
"Master, I'm not being overly suspicious. Look at Jinnian. His nose and mouth... why does he look so much like Rong Huan?"
"He really doesn't look like the old man's eldest son at all. The more I look at him, the more he looks like the old man's second son. I've never seen a nephew who looks so much like his uncle."
"That's right. I almost thought it was Rong Huan's child the first time."
"It can't really be Rong Huan's child, right? Aren't there any paternity tests nowadays? Do you want to check it out? How can he look so much like his uncle?"
Rumors flooded in along with his parents' quarrel. Later, a paternity test confirmed that he was not his second uncle's child.
Later, the rumors became less and less, and his mother became more and more silent. Finally, she became terminally ill and passed away, leaving him alone to face the entire Li family.
It seemed that Li Ronghuan started to rarely go home at that time, and later left home completely. In his memory, he saw Li Ronghuan once eleven years ago, but just now he heard Li Ronghuan say that he had not been home for eighteen years.
During those eleven years, I saw Li Ronghuan... and he was the only one who saw him?
He didn't speak for a long time, and there was still a hint of strangeness in his eyes. Li Ronghuan's smile deepened, until there were a few more wrinkles around his curved eyes. "Good boy, you don't even recognize your second uncle, do you? I am your second uncle Li Ronghuan, do you remember? Could it be that you are so busy in the army that your memory has deteriorated?"
They were very enthusiastic, and there was a look of deep concern in their eyes as they spoke. This felt very unfamiliar to Li Jinnian, who had never received care from the Li family.
He slowly loosened his clenched hands and nodded, "Second Uncle."
"So you still know that I'm your second uncle. It's good that you haven't forgotten it. It's good that you haven't forgotten it." To Li Jinnian, the smile on Li Ronghuan's face could be much more genuine. Even Mr. Li downstairs had never seen him again.
His eyes fell on the camouflage travel bag in Li Jinnian's hand, and the smile on Li Ronghuan's face faded a lot. "Second uncle just came back, and you're going back to the army?"
