421 Reunion
When Liu Sanniang left the county office, it was already night.
Li Guanfeng went out with her. He was about to send Liu Sanniang back when he saw that Chu Yan was already waiting outside. He smiled. “Miss Liu, goodbye.”
Liu Sanniang nodded gently. “Goodbye, Lord Li.”
Chu Yan held Liu Sanniang’s hand and squeezed it. Liu Sanniang was already used to it. She said to Chu Yan, “After my brother gets married, we’ll return to the capital.”
Chu Yan nodded. “Whatever you say.”
He had come to protect her. Wherever she was, he would naturally be there.
Chu Yan sent Liu Sanniang home. When they arrived outside the Liu family’s house, Chu Yan let go of her hand and left.
After washing up, Liu Sanniang returned to her room to rest.
——
The moon was exceptionally round tonight. After Li Guanfeng returned to the courtyard, he did not feel sleepy and was thinking about what Liu Sanniang said.
He touched the rope on his wrist. The bell on it was no longer there. Unknowingly, his Xiaowu had left him for almost half a year.
Clang!
There was some noise from the backyard door. Li Guanfeng frowned and went to open the door nervously.
The moment he opened the door, he saw the figure who had fainted by the door. He was stunned for a moment before he took a few steps forward and said with a trembling voice, “Xiao… Xiaowu.”
The little girl was thin, but she looked more than 50% like Xiaowu.
Li Guanfeng bent down and carried her into the house. He had never thought that the reunion would come so quickly.
He was overjoyed, but when he saw the injuries on the little girl’s body, his heart tightened, not knowing what kind of abuse she had suffered.
Li Guanfeng fetched hot water and gently wiped the little girl’s face. This time, what he touched was real. He wiped the little girl’s palm and face clean and waited quietly for her to wake up.
He felt nervous. Did Xiaowu still remember him?
Li Guanfeng held her small hand. He didn’t know how old she was now.
His Xiaowu was very thin. Her hair was dry and looked yellow. Her face was small, and her neck was fragile, as if it could break easily. Was this girl Xiaowu?
Li Guanfeng’s heart ached. He was very sure that this was Xiaowu. Only one person could give him this feeling. During this period of time, his heart was very empty, but now, his heart was not vacant, but it ached.
Li Guanfeng didn’t know when the little girl would wake up, so he went to the kitchen to cook some porridge.
Soon, he came back to the bedside. Now that Xiaowu was back, he would never let her suffer again.
The little girl on the bed woke up at dawn. Her eyes were blurry. When she saw Li Guanfeng, she seemed a little afraid.
Li Guanfeng smiled. “Little girl, what’s your name?”
The little girl opened her eyes and looked at Li Guanfeng. She said, “I, my name is Su Xiaowu. Who are you?”
Li Guanfeng felt a little down that Xiaowu didn’t remember him, but soon, he smiled and said, “My name is Li Guanfeng. Xiaowu, you can call me Brother.”
