Ling Tianyi embraced Xia Xiaoluo tightly in order to show his love and warm to her. He knew that it was not her fault. She just felt anxious because of his attitude. He wanted to tell her that he would love her forever, but he didn’t know what to do.
“Uncle Yi…” Tala broke in suddenly, seeing Ling Tianyi embracing Xia Xiaoluo. Being only 18 years old, Tala felt very awkward even though it was not so improper.
“What’s wrong?” Ling Tianyi asked, still embracing Xia Xiaoluo.
“Em! Uncle Yi, my grandpa wants to know whether you come to have dinner with us or we take your dinner here. We are afraid that Little Aunt is not able to walk now.” Not daring to see them, Tala kept looking at his shoes while speaking.
“Well, it depends on you!” Ling Tianyi said to Xia Xiaoluo.
“I want to have dinner with them because I feel good now. I think I will be better after taking some walk.” Xia Xiaoluo answered.
“Tala, tell your grandparents that we will be there soon.” Ling Tianyi said and Tala ran away at once.
Ling Tianyi kissed her earlobes after Tala left. “Darling, are you all right now?”
“Sure! No problem!” Xia Xiaoluo said in a low voice, because she was still a little frightened after Ling Tianyi lost his temper.
Ling Tianyi didn’t like to see that Xia Xiaoluo was afraid of him. He sighed and said: “How about staying here for another several days if you feel good after dinner?”
“Really?” Xia Xiaoluo asked out of surprise, keeping her eyes open.
“Sure! I will never lie to you and remember that I love you so much.” Ling Tianyi expressed his love frankly again.
Xia Xiaoluo still couldn’t believe that. But Ling Tianyi didn’t force her to accept it right now, instead he would prove his love to her gradually by actions.
“Well, you can stay here, but you must promise that you won’t cause any trouble. Be obedient, OK?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“Sure! I promise you! I can do that!” Xia Xiaoluo agreed with him at once, because she could do anything as long as Ling Tianyi allowed her to play on the grassland.
“What’s more, stop having contraceptive pills which are harmful to your health! I can afford to raise the children no matter how many you give birth to.” While speaking, Ling Tianyi threw the little brown bottle out of the yurt.
“Only a sow can give birth to so many babies.” Xia Xiaoluo murmured.
“Well, you are not a sow, but you are a little fat pig!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile. Xia Xiaoluo was a glutton, just like a fat pig.
“I’m not fat! I am only 45 kg. I’m not fat at all!” Xia Xiaoluo became upset at once. She liked eating because she couldn’t eat well when she was a child. She was afraid of putting on weight. What she was afraid of even more is that Ling Tianyi disliked her.
“Well, you are not fat and you are so slim! I will always like you even though you become fat. In my opinion, you will be more lovely if you become fat.” Ling Tianyi said and kissed her tender cheek.
“Darling, don’t worry about anything and don’t be afraid. I will always love you and our baby! We will be together forever. Do you understand?” Ling Tianyi persuaded Xia Xiaoluo to believe him again.
A lie can become true after being repeated for a thousand times, not to say a true word. Therefore, Xia Xiaoluo would definitely believe his true words.
Ling Tianyi let Xia Xiaoluo wear a pink woolen coat and a scarf for fear that she would be sick due to the wind
They had a good dinner with Xia Xiaoluo, this lively girl, being around. She was totally different from the one who was sent to the hospital.
Ling Tianyi was delighted as well.
In the evening, Ling Tianyi suppressed his desire to make love to his little wife again, because she was still weak and she needed rest.
Ling Tianyi couldn’t fall asleep, while Xia Xiaoluo slept well, making his shoulders full of her saliva. He was not annoyed. He wiped it with his own pajamas carefully as if he was looking after a baby.
Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo were sleeping together happily, but Fang Ruichen was extremely upset and distressed.
In the hospital, Fang Ruichen believed the doctor’s nonsense that Xia Xiaoluo was dead and her body was taken away.
Fang Ruichen ran to the funeral parlour immediately to see her for the last time.
It was a coincidence that there was another woman who died of being kicked severely by a horse and it was impossible to tell who she was.
Embracing the body, Fang Ruichen cried for a long time. He made up his mind to deal with the body when knowing that it was abandoned by her family. The staff were delighted to see that there was someone who was willing to solve the trouble. Fang Ruichen threw a stack of money on the table. He was so generous that all the staff were ready to serve him.
Fang Ruichen regarded the woman as Xia Xiaoluo, so he ordered them to burn the body and bought the most expensive urn for her.
At that night, when Xia Xiaoluo was sleeping soundly, Fang Ruichen returned to A City with the urn and put it in his room.
“Xiaoluo, why did you believe Ling Tianyi’s words? You are so stupid! He abandoned you after you died!”
“But it doesn’t matter. Xiaoluo, don’t be afraid, because I will be with you.”
“Xiaoluo, I always make you unhappy, but it is because I liked you! You are different from other girls. I do that to draw your attention, because you always ignore me.”
“However, Xiaoluo, I finally do something right. I will bury you!”
“I know that you are timid. All girls are the same. I won’t send you to a cemetery, which is too cold. Instead, you will live in my house from now on and I will be with you. I will protect you no matter what kind of ghosts come to find you!”
“Xiaoluo, this is my room. I wanted to invite you to come here before, but we always quarreled when we met.”
“If the times could flow back, I would definitely treat you well.”
“I will treat you well…”
Fang Ruichen couldn’t help crying while speaking. He finally realized that he fell in love with Xia Xiaoluo, no matter what she is like.
Fang Ruichen took out a photo which was grabbed from Xia Jingru’s cell phone. In the photo, they were sleeping in the classroom. He threatened Xia Xiaoluo with this photo, but he took it out for commemoration this time.
Fang Ruichen often took photos of Xia Xiaoluo secretly when she was eating, walking, sleeping and absent-minded in the class.
Fang Ruichen filmed those photos and stuck them beside the poster of Michael Jordan he liked most. Because Xia Xiaoluo and Jordan both made him crazy. Jordan was untouchable, but Xia Xiaoluo was always beside him. Xia Xiaoluo was dead, so Fang Ruichen felt extremely hopeless.
Holding the urn, Fang Ruichen said to it while looking at the photos. At that time, Fang Ruichen regarded the urn as Xia Xiaoluo.
Fang Ruichen stopped at a photo that he liked most. In the photo, Xia Xiaoluo was dancing in a blue Mongolian costume, looking beautiful and tender.
“Xiaoluo, I will film this photo tomorrow as your deadee. No, it’s not a deadee, but an ordinary photo. I will pray for and enshrine you every day as if you were by my side.” Fang Ruichen said. Although he grown up in America and knew little about traditional Chinese customs, he would do everything he knew for Xia Xiaoluo.
“Xiaoluo, why did you pass away?”
“Xiaoluo, I don’t want you to die. I can give up everything including basketball as long as you are alive. Please don’t leave me…”
Fang Ruichen felt extremely distressed. He cried again.
His families were all abroad, so there were only several servants in his house. Hearing the sound, a middle-aged housekeeper came to see what happened. After opening the door, she was shocked when she saw Fang Ruichen crying with an urn
“Little Sir, Little Sir…” After a long time, the housekeeper regained her consciousness and intended to comfort him.
“Fuck off! I’m upset. Don’t disturb me!” Fang Ruichen shouted to her.
“Little Sir, how can you bring an urn back? It’s ominous!” The housekeeper said. Sir and Madame would definitely scold her if they saw it when they came back.
“It’s not an urn. It’s Xiaoluo. It’s my Xiaoluo.” Fang Ruichen touched the urn tenderly, ignoring the housekeeper.
“Is there the bone ash in it? Little Sir, how can you…? Oh God!” The housekeeper was totally collapsed.
“Xiaoluo will live with me from now on. Ask them to be careful when they clean my room. Don’t disturb Xiaoluo, or she will be unhappy.” Fang Ruichen said and kissed the urn
The housekeeper didn’t know what to do. But she knew that she must deal with it carefully, because it was serious. Otherwise, Little Sir would hate her or Sir and Madame would scold her.
