“A-Lu’s father.”
Tang Li tried to remain calm. "He...shouldn't he be married with children by now?"
Lately, I often dream about him in the middle of the night, even though my rational mind tells me that I should let go of the past and start over with A-Lu.
But somehow, she always keeps thinking about it.
Shen Qingxu sighed, "No, he hasn't even dated a girlfriend in the past few years. Sometimes, I even wonder if he's waiting for you to come back."
Lu Jianshen wouldn't go so far as to not date a girlfriend for five years just to wait for her, would he?
Tang Li herself thought it was impossible.
It's rare for one person to wait for another for more than three years. Three years is tough enough, more than 1,000 days!

That afternoon, Tang Li encountered a familiar person in a foreign city.
On her way home from school, she unexpectedly bumped into Uncle Ding.
At first, Tang Li thought she was seeing things, but she clearly saw that the ragged old man begging was Tang's housekeeper, Uncle Ding.

Uncle Ding is also an elder in the family. Even if he can't help with treatment or find a doctor, he should at least give some money.
Uncle Ding sighed, his face showing weariness and disappointment. "The master is no longer the master he used to be..."
After meeting Uncle Ding, Tang Li often wondered if she would have been kept in the dark forever if she hadn't bumped into him by chance and heard him talk about what happened back then.
Is it possible that she will never go back?
Will she spend her whole life abroad, living with her Ah Lu?
