"Does it hurt?" Xie Yuhua stroked his hair, her eyes filled with heartache.

Ling Xiao pursed his lips. The wind was biting. It had probably been a long time since Ling Xiao had experienced this temperature. He didn't know if it was because of the cold, or because someone finally cared about him, or because he said "it hurts."

Actually, it didn't hurt, because he couldn't recall any of those painful moments. Compared to the pain he had experienced before, it seemed like a minor inconvenience. But when he recalled those scenes, it didn't seem realistic to say that it didn't hurt. He followed his heart and said "it hurts," and then he couldn't stop crying, which made Jieyuhua's eyes red as well.

A newborn body needs an adaptation period, and his acceptance was far less than that of Yu Nu, which no one had expected. He needed a long time to recover before he could move around, so Jieyuhua had to slowly help him into the car. Afraid that he would be bored or that he would recall painful memories, she told him some interesting things that had happened in the past month.

Wu Xie and the others had already returned from Wu Shan Ju, and Li Chu had already become sworn brothers with Zhuang Zhuang. However, Fatty insisted on waiting for Ling Xiao to return so they could hold a ceremony.

It was also said that Wu Sansheng had heard about Ling Xiao's situation and even brought a woman back. Ling Xiao's somewhat slow-witted mind took a long time to think. Oh, it was Chen Wenjin, the one often mentioned in the tomb, the one who loved to write a diary and would leave it lying around.

"Uncle Wu has also heard about your surgery. He said that too many people know about it. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. If necessary, you can try to find Wuxie's parents. They are both in politics..." Xie Yuhua paused here, while Ling Xiao looked at him blankly, then looked out the window as if he hadn't heard her.

The road they were on happened to be a mountain road, and Ling Xiao said he wanted to get out of the car to take a look, as the ride was making him a little uncomfortable.

The understanding woman naturally prioritized him, and after getting out of the car, she held an umbrella for Ling Xiao.

From their vantage point, the village below looked ordinary, with no particularly remarkable scenery nearby. However, it was quite helpful for people with nearsightedness or eye strain. After standing there for a while, Xieyuhua noticed a nunnery nestled halfway up the mountain. From there, she could see several young nuns carrying water together.

Whether it was a natural intuition or not, a nun at the foot of the mountain happened to glance up. Their eyes met, and the nun quickly looked away, hurriedly carrying water away. She slipped a couple of times along the way, but still didn't stop.

"Let's go." Ling Xiao only stood there for a moment before turning around and getting into the car with Xie Yuhua. After closing the car door for Ling Xiao, Xie Yuhua closed her umbrella and glanced in the direction of the little nun. There was no one there anymore, but when she thought of that face, she felt that she had seen it before. She looked away, shook the umbrella in her hand, and then got into the car as well.

"Haven't had any snacks from Beijing in a long time, have you? Have you been craving them? There's a good chance they're selling candied hawthorns in this weather, shall we buy a few skewers later?" Xie Yuhua started looking for topics as soon as she got in the car.

Ling Xiao glanced at him, paused, and then opened his mouth again. Jieyuhua immediately understood and said, "Stir-fried hawthorn! Don't worry, let's go home and have a family reunion dinner first. After we've eaten, we'll go buy some delicious stir-fried hawthorn."

Ling Xiao smiled and narrowed his eyes, then leaned into the corner and shrank himself away.

Xie Yuhua placed her hand in Ling Xiao's hand, carefully, and finally tightened her grip on his hand. When Ling Xiao looked over, Xie Yuhua could no longer help but hug him again.

"I miss you so much.

I really... really want to.
