Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 52 An Old Photograph

Qin Xiaochuan was a little dumbfounded when he saw the little girl rushing to his side. This little girl was too enthusiastic. They had only met once. Moreover, her sneaking into his room last night was also something he couldn't understand.

"Sit down and eat." Just as he was wondering how to respond to the little girl's enthusiasm, Han Kexin's cold voice suddenly came from the side. The voice was not only cold, but also commanding.

The little girl, Xiaoying, seemed quite afraid of Han Kexin. Upon hearing her voice, she immediately sat down obediently in the seat next to Qin Xiaochuan.

Qin Xiaochuan noticed that her seat was a bit low; the little girl could barely see the table when she sat down. So he raised her chair so she could lean on the table.

The little girl seemed very happy with what he was doing, always gently patting his head with her little hand, appearing both mischievous and obedient. Han Kexin watched quietly from the side, seemingly lost in thought, but didn't say a word.

After Qin Xiaochuan finished doing all this, Han Kexin pointed at him and said to Xiaoying, "This is Uncle Xiaochuan."

"Uncle Xiaochuan." The little girl tilted her head and called out sweetly to him. He could only smile at the little girl. It seemed that he was destined to be her uncle.

Han Kexin then pointed to Guo Shiyi and said, "This is Aunt Shiyi."

"Auntie?" Just like Qin Xiaochuan's initial reaction, Guo Shiyi's face was full of surprise. You should know that she was younger than Qin Xiaochuan, and girls are naturally sensitive about age. Suddenly becoming an auntie was indeed hard for her to accept.

"Yes, because I'm Xiaoying's aunt, you can't expect her to call you 'sister,' can you?" Han Kexin had no choice but to explain.

"Then call her Auntie." Guo Shiyi had no other choice and, like Qin Xiaochuan, had no choice but to accept the fact.

"Aunt Shiyi." Xiaoying called out sweetly to Guo Shiyi again. Fortunately, the little girl had a sweet tongue, which made up for some of their disappointment.

During the meal, the three discussed it and decided that Guo Shiyi would hand over the information they brought out from the base to the Demon Hunter organization for investigation. They only needed to leave the Seven Star Lamp behind, and the others didn't need to worry about anything else.

At this point, Qin Xiaochuan suddenly thought of Mo Yu and asked Guo Shiyi, "What about Mo Yu? Is he still a defector?"

"Although we did find the 'Dark Night' organization's base, that doesn't mean he's innocent. We need to reinvestigate his case and hope to find evidence to prove his innocence as soon as possible. Until then, his status as a defector remains unchanged," Guo Shiyi said helplessly.

After this collaboration, they all developed some goodwill towards Mo Yu and were willing to believe that Mo Yu was indeed innocent, but without evidence, nothing could be changed.

"However, I would suggest that the organization relax its pursuit of Mo Yu, and once we find evidence that he is indeed innocent, we will clear his name," Guo Shiyi added at the end.

Qin Xiaochuan knew this was all she could do right now, but she didn't know if she could still find evidence of Mo Yu's matter after so long.

The meal lasted for almost an hour. Han Kexin and Zhou Bin, one with a cold personality and the other a quiet, handsome man, barely spoke a word throughout the meal. However, the little girl next to Qin Xiaochuan, whether naturally talkative or just particularly happy today, kept chattering away. She kept asking Qin Xiaochuan to put food on her plate, never staying still for a moment.

After lunch, Guo Shiyi said she wanted to go home. Han Kexin didn't keep her any longer and asked Zhou Bin to take her home. Then she was going upstairs to sleep. Before going upstairs, she wanted to take Xiaoying to sleep with her, but the little girl refused and insisted on staying with Qin Xiaochuan.

Seeing that the two were at an impasse, Qin Xiaochuan had no choice but to step in and smooth things over. He said to Han Kexin, "Since she really doesn't want to sleep, let's not force her. I'll coax her to sleep when she gets sleepy."

When Han Kexin heard him say that, she first glanced at him (for some reason, he felt that there was a deep meaning in the other person's gaze), and then said, "In that case, after you coax her to sleep, take her to the first room on the right side of the second floor."

He nodded in agreement, and Han Kexin went upstairs to sleep without saying another word.

After seeing Han Kexin go upstairs, the little girl immediately ran to a room, took out a bunch of toys, and asked Qin Xiaochuan to play with her.

This little girl is so adorable. While playing with her, Qin Xiaochuan didn't feel bored at all. On the contrary, he was often amused by her cute expressions. The most classic moment was when she actually asked him, "Uncle Xiaochuan, do you like Auntie?"

Qin Xiaochuan was speechless and could only stare at her blankly, wondering if kids these days were all geniuses? Why did they know everything?

The little girl was so energetic that she didn't start breathing heavily until an hour later. He quickly coaxed her to sleep, and after she fell asleep, he carried her to her room, put her on the bed, and gently covered her with a blanket, as Han Kexin had instructed beforehand.

Just as he was tiptoeing out of the room, he suddenly saw a photograph on the little girl's desk.

The photo was in a frame and looked quite old, with a slight yellowing, but the people in the photo were still clearly visible.

When he first saw the person in the photo, he thought it was Han Kexin. He wondered why the little girl would put an old photo of Han Kexin on the table. But after looking at it carefully, he realized that the person in the photo was not Han Kexin.

The person in the photo looks very much like Han Kexin, especially their facial features, which are almost identical. If he hadn't been suspicious, he would never have been able to tell the difference between the two.

What convinced him that the person in the photo wasn't Han Kexin was their aura. Although they looked very similar, their temperaments were completely different. Han Kexin was a typical aloof person, while the person in the photo had a gentle expression and gave off a sense of warmth just by looking at the photo.

If you look closely, you can see that the person in the photo actually has a slightly larger face than Han Kexin. Therefore, he concluded that the person in the photo is not Han Kexin. If he is not mistaken, she must be Han Kexin's older sister, who is also Xiaoying's mother.

I never imagined Han Kexin had an older sister. I wonder how her sister is doing. Judging from this photo, it was taken at least ten years ago. Since such an old photo is displayed, it must have been taken recently. Could it be that her sister passed away a long time ago? Otherwise, why would Xiaoying be entrusted to Han Kexin's care?

A series of questions flashed through Qin Xiaochuan's mind. Besides this, he had another question: the time of the photo. Xiaoying was only seven or eight years old this year, which meant that her mother was still alive at least eight years ago. Why not display a newer photo instead of this one from more than ten years ago? This was really illogical.

The only plausible explanation is that Xiaoying's mother never took another photo in the years since that picture was taken, but he finds this explanation hard to believe, so there must be other reasons.

He couldn't figure out the reason after thinking about it all afternoon, and since it was Han Kexin's private matter, he didn't dare ask her for the reason. Otherwise, he would be in trouble if she thought he was someone who liked to pry into other people's privacy.

Although he wasn't one to pry into other people's privacy, for some reason, he was always a little concerned about this photo. It was probably because of Xiaoying. Even though he had only spent less than two hours with her, he genuinely liked this girl, so he was somewhat concerned about her affairs.
