Morning.
The wind picks up to force 2 to 3, and it is more cooling now.
The sparrows outside of the windows are chirping loudly.
Dong Xuebing woke up and continued to experience REVERSE. He still doesn’t know what this command does. He had been trying it for two days and is frustrated. His mind is in a mess, and he decided to put REVERSE aside temporarily. He must rest before he goes crazy.
Dong Xuebing decides to visit Sister Yu!
He drove to Hua Mei Estate and pressed the doorbell. But no one opened the door.
Did Sister Yu and Yu Qianqian go out? Dong Xuebing used his keys to open the door and went into the bedroom for a rest.
A few minutes later, Dong Xuebing heard the door opening and footsteps.
“Mum, where should I place the vegetables?”
“Put it in the fridge. Leave it to me and go do your homework.”
“I had finished doing my homework. Let me help you wash the vegetables. Mum, is Uncle coming today?”
“I don’t think so. He has just returned and should be very busy.”
“Ok…”
Dong Xuebing smiled and walked out of the bedroom. “Who says I am not coming? Haha…”
Yu Qianqian’s eyes brightened up and cheered! “Uncle!”
Yu Meixia was surprised and quickly tidied her hair and clothes. “Xiao Bing, you… why are you here?”
“Why can’t I be here? Am I unwelcome?”
“No…” Yu Meixia replied.
Dong Xuebing waved Yu Qianqian over. “Qianqian, come over and let me take a look at you. You had grown taller.”
Yu Qianqian walks over and lets Dong Xuebing pats her head. She smiled sweetly. “I had grown 1cm taller.”
“Wow… you are going to be taller than me soon.”
Yu Meixia did not join their conversation and went into the bathroom. She returned with her hair pinned up and make-up after a while.
Dong Xuebing is amused. “Sister Yu, you are getting prettier too.”
Yu Meixia blushed. “No…”
“You can ask Qianqian.” Dong Xuebing laughed.
Yu Qianqian nodded. “My Mum is the prettiest!”
“… I’m not.”
Yu Meixia felt embarrassed and prepared tea for Dong Xuebing. She sat beside him, holding an ashtray. But he is not going to smoke. She looked at his feet and noticed he had not change into slippers. She quickly kneels down to remove his shoes and helped him puts on a pair of slippers. This service is top-notch.
“Sister Yu, you don’t need to do these.”
Yu Meixia did not reply and started peeling an orange for him.
Yu Meixia is wearing a pastel-colored fitting long dress, and it flaunts her curvy hips.
Dong Xuebing looks at her butt and couldn’t control his urge.
He did not even touch a girl’s hand when he was stranded at sea for two weeks, and after he returned, he couldn’t do anything with Aunt Xuan as she is pregnant. Xie Huilan is also around, and he can’t visit Sister Yu. Now, he finally got the chance to be with her alone, and his fire is raging.
“Qianqian, can you help me buy a packet of cigarettes?”
“… ok!”
“Here’s the money. I want a packet of Zhong Hua.”
Yu Meixia blushed and decided to send her daughter to a store further away. “Buy it from Yong Hui Supermarket. They sell authentic cigarettes. The corner stall is selling fake cigarettes.”
Yu Qianqian nodded and ran out of the door.
“Don’t run and watch out for cars.” Yu Meixia looks at her daughter, runs down the stairs, and closed the door.
Yong Hui Supermarket is quite far, and they have around 30 minutes before Qianqian returns.
Dong Xuebing laughed as he knows Sister Yu could see through him. He carried her, kissed her forehead, and his hand started stroking her thighs.
Yu Meixia blushed and lowered her head. “I… today…”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s not… convenient.”
“Huh? Is it the time of the month?”
“Yes.” Yu Meixia saw Dong Xuebing’s disappointed face and quickly said. “It’s nothing. We can do it in the bathroom… to prevent soiling the bedsheet.”
“Never mind. We can do it another day.”
“I’m fine as long as you are happy.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “I don’t want to force you.”
“It’s my last day, and I will be fine.” Yu Meixia blushed and pulled down her shoulder straps, exposing her fair shoulders.
Dong Xuebing’s eyes are glued to her exposed shoulders. “When did you learn how to seduce people?”
“No…” Yu Meixia panics. “I am not seducing you.”
“You are seducing me now. Haha…”
“No…”
Dong Xuebing carried her into the bathroom and placed her in the bathtub.
Twenty minutes later.
They are worried Qianqian will be back early and finished it fast. Yu Meixia used the showerhead to wash away their stains and returned to the living room. She sat there for a while, and her tears rolled down her cheeks. She started sobbing.
“What’s wrong? Did I hurt you?”
“No…”
“Sorry… it’s my fault. I shouldn’t be doing that with you.”
“No.” Yu Meixia wiped her tears. “I thought… you are not coming back again.”
Dong Xuebing hugged and kissed her forehead. “I am back now. Stop crying like a baby.”
Yu Meixia hugged Dong Xuebing tightly. “Ok.”
Sister Yu has a soft character, and Dong Xuebing knew she must have been crying her eyes out after hearing about the air crash. He started whispering sweet nothings into her ears, making her blush.
Qianqian returns after a while, and Yu Meixia quickly moves away from Dong Xuebing and straightens her dress.
At the same time, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang. It was an unknown number. Although he had gotten back his number, all the saved contacts are gone. All the contacts in his current phone are newly re-entered during his ‘funeral,’ and he lost many people’s contacts. He placed a cigarette on his lips, and Sister Yu quickly lit it before asking his phone.
“Hello.”
“Xiao Dong? It’s me.”
“You are…” This is a familiar voice, but Dong Xuebing couldn’t remember who this is.
“Haha… I’m Liu Chenlong.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Uncle Liu. Sorry… I lost my phone a while ago and lost all the contacts.”
Liu Chenlong laughed. “I am in Fen Zhou City for work now. Are you free? I want to give you a treat.”
Dong Xuebing also wants to contact Liu Chenlong. “Sure. How about noon?”
“Noon is fine. I will finish my work here and go over it with you. I should reach around 12 pm and will call you.”
“How can I make your travel here? I will go and look for you in the city.”
“It’s fine. I also have some things to do in Yan Tai County.”
“Ok… I will wait for your call.”
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing saved this number and looked at Yu Meixia. She is standing behind him, massaging his shoulders. Yu Qianqian is sitting beside him, knitting his legs with her small hands.
Yu Meixia asked. “Are you busy later?”
“Yes. I have a lunch appointment with someone.” Dong Xuebing looks at her. “Oh, did you ask your relatives about the things I told you when I was in Tokyo?”
Yu Meixia nodded. “My relatives said they don’t know and did not tell me anything.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “I have something to tell you after I returned. Err… Qianqian, can you go to the room for a while?”
“No need.” Yu Meixia bit her lips. “I had told Qianqian about this a few days ago.”
Yu Qianqian looks at them. “Is it about my maternal grandfather and grandmother?”
Dong Xuebing did not hide anything from them. “Sister Yu… I might have found your biological parents.”
Yu Meixia is shocked. “My… my parents? They… are they still around? Did you see them?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I am not 100% sure, but I should not be wrong. I met a person in Tokyo and saw his ex-wife’s picture. His ex-wife looks like you and Qianqian when she is young. I have almost mistaken the person in the picture is you. They are also from Fen Zhou City and had lost their 5-year old child, Dandan, twenty to thirty years ago.”
Yu Meixia’s mind went blank and stood there not knowing what to say. “Dandan…”
“The person who called earlier is him, and we will be meeting or lunch.” Dong Xuebing continued. “Do you and Qianqian want to join us?”
Yu Meixia did not reply and tighten her grip on Qianqian’s hand.
