Chapter 341: Uncle Xie Xuning (2)
Ye Tianxin followed Li Qingcang’s gaze and asked, “Who is it?”
“Uncle?” Li Qingcang muttered, ignoring Ye Tianxin’s question.
Li Qingcang stood up, stretched out his hand, and touched Ye Tianxin’s head.
“Tianxin, wait for me. I’ll go over and take a look.”
Li Qingcang immediately walked away, running after the man.
Ye Tianxin was a little curious, and she didn’t know who the uncle Li Qingcang was referring to. What did he look like?
Li Qingcang was unable to get in touch with the man. He stood in the crowd, disappointed.
Li Qingcang’s brows furrowed. He considered that he might be mistaken.
‘At this time, Uncle should be abroad,’ Li Qingcang told himself. ‘So it was impossible for him to be here.’
When Li Qingcang was about to turn around, he felt someone behind him.
His entire body immediately tensed up.
“Nice one, rascal. You’re very alert.”
Behind Li Qingcang, he heard Xie Xuning’s voice.
Li Qingcang couldn’t have mistaken that voice. He knew it was Xie Xuning.
“Uncle, aren’t you abroad? I just thought I saw wrong!”
Xie Xuning put his hand on Li Qingcang’s shoulder.
“I just saw you with a girl, so I didn’t bother you.”
“I’m with Tianxin.”
When Li Qingcang mentioned Tianxin, there was a soft and tender expression on his face.
Xie Xuning suddenly thought of what he used to be. When he mentioned Linlang, he was also happy and satisfied.
Upon revisiting the old place, everything that he thought was forgotten in the past resurfaced in his heart.
His heart was filled with her.
“Then what are you looking for me for? Go and accompany the girl.”
Li Qingcang said curtly, “Uncle, it’s time for dinner. Why don’t you eat with us?”
Xie Xuning shook his head. “No, I don’t want to have dinner with you.”
He was getting old. He didn’t want to be some couple’s third wheel.
He would rather be alone and quietly revisit where they had been in the past.
Even if these places were already in ruins.
But why did it matter?
Even after all these years, he still missed her…longed for her….and loved her deeply.
“Uncle, she won’t mind,” Li Qingcang continued to persuade Xie Xuning.
Xie Xuning placed his hand on Li Qingcang’s shoulder. In fact, Li Qingcang was much taller, but he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
“Qingcang, you never know what tomorrow may bring. Cherish the people you love… Cherish happiness when you find it. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Uncle, I understand.”
“Good. Now you go with her. I’m leaving.”
Xie Xuning walked away without looking back.
This was his solo journey.
He just wanted to be alone, pretending to meet with her 10 years ago.
“Uncle!” Li Qingcang called.
Xie Xuning raised his hand and shook it but refused to look back. He walked away until Li Qingcang could no longer see him.
Who hadn’t been young?
He had also been young once.
When he was deeply in love with her back then, he didn’t want others to be around him.
Li Qingcang reluctantly returned to the food stall, and a table full of seafood was already served. The food all looked appetizing, but Li Qingcang seemed to have lost his appetite.
“Elder Brother Li, what happened?”
Li Qingcang shook his head and sat beside Ye Tianxin. He took the hot towel from the waiter and wiped his hands.
“It was Uncle, but he doesn’t want to dine with us, so I didn’t force him.”
Ye Tianxin could only reply with an inaudible “oh”. She smiled, stretched out her hand to peel a cooked shrimp, and fed the shrimp into Li Qingcang. “Elder Brother Li, what is Uncle’s full name?”
