Chapter 152: Elder Brother Li Is Here! (2)

An odd feeling flashed through Ye Tianxin’s heart as she listened to the sound of Li Qingcang’s beating heart.

“Stay safe, Elder Brother Li.”

After a moment, Ye Tianxin let go of Li Qingcang. Li Qingcang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the little girl in his arms was no longer crying.

“I shall head off then.”

He was gone.

His slender figure disappeared into the darkness silently.

His tall and muscular figure gradually disappeared before her eyes.

Ye Tianxin stood still.

She did not move at all.

She reflected on what had recently transpired. She knew that this was just the beginning. Many things would unfold in the coming days. She let some time passed before she went inside.

When Guan Chenxi saw that Ye Tianxin was home, she said, “Tianxin, Grandmother has gone to bed. Let me make you supper.”

“Thank you, Elder Sister Chenxi.”

Guan Chenxi smiled shyly. “There’s no need to thank me. I am getting paid for this after all.”

Guan Chenxi used to cook in the military, and her cooking was pretty decent.

Guan Chenxi was in charge of the chores and cooking after she came to stay with Ye Tianxin.

The caregiver was in charge of Grandmother. After all, Grandmother had to recuperate after her surgery.

Ye Tianxin ate all the noodles in her bowl and washed the bowl herself. After that, she went up to the attic.

There were no lights in the attic. Ye Tianxin used a flashlight to look around her before she finally saw the leather case.

The leather case was covered with a blue cotton cloth. Ye Tianxin took off the cloth.

More than 10 years had passed, but the case was still in very good condition.

Ye Tianxin carried the case to her room and placed it on her desk. She switched on the desk lamp and sat down.

The secrets of her mother, Ye Linlang, were inside this leather case. She wanted to know them.

Ye Tianxin lifted the lid of the leather case gently.

Other than some of Ye Linlang’s clothing, there was a box that contained a military medal and also a notebook.

Ye Tianxin took out the box that contained the military medal. It was an exquisitely crafted military medal.

On the box, the words “First Class Military Merit” were engraved.

Ye Tianxin looked at the medal and thought that her father was really awesome. He must have suffered a lot to get a first-class military merit medal.

The medal looked prestigious. Ye Tianxin pinned it to her chest. She felt as if she could be closer to her father like that.

Ye Tianxin put down the medal and took out the notebook. There were many entries in the notebook that were written in black ink using a fountain pen.

Ye Tianxin took off her shoes and then climbed onto the bed. She read the diary silently.

June 10. Weather: Sunny

Ning: Today is the 100th day of our meeting. You gave me a rose.

You said that this means that you will love me and only me forever. I am very happy.

My dearest Ning, even though we only met briefly before you had to return to the army, I know that you truly love me.

Ning, I already miss you even though we have just parted.

July 10. Weather: Gloomy

My Dearest Ning,

You only just left yesterday, but I already miss you so much.

A classmate confessed to me today. I told him that I already have a boyfriend.

He said that it’s alright. We are only just dating and are not married and that he will wait for me.

My Dearest Ning, you won’t give him the chance, right?

We will get married and have children and grow old together.

I can’t wait for that day to come…

I can’t wait for you to come back…

August 15. Weather: Drizzling

My Dearest Ning, you are back.

You have no idea how happy I am.

We went to the market to get groceries, and we cooked together. You prepared all the dishes and drank a bit.

We celebrated becoming husband and wife in the eyes of the law.
