1993: Waiting For Their Return

Waiting For Their Return

Nine Gate.1

On top of the mountain…

Nan Chiyou rested her hand on her cheek, staring blankly at the sky.

Ever since Nan Luo said those words to her that day, she would often sit on the mountain and stare.

She did not say anything; no one knew what she was thinking.

No matter how Qiu Hui tried to comfort her, it did not help.

She would stay there for the whole day, except for mealtimes, and would not leave the mountain.

"Xia Xia..."

A hand rested on Xia Xia's shoulder; her voice was gentle, with a little relief.

"Xia Xia, it's cold here. Let's go back and rest. If you get sick, your parents would be heartbroken when they come back."

"Aunt Qiu..." Xia Xia turned around, her eyes glistening with a light as bright as the stars in the sky. "When do you think Father and Mother will return?"

Qiu Hui's heart ached. "When they come back, Tianya will surely tell me first. Xia Xia, it's useless for you to wait here. Go back to your room with me to rest."

Xia Xia smiled.

"Then, I will wait for them here. I'll go when they come back. But if they don't come back, I will sit here all the time."

The little girl turned and continued gazing at the clear sky.

There was light in her eyes, bright and dark, but it made Qiu Hui's heart suddenly seize up.

If Hui You did not say those words to Xia Xia that day, she would not become like this, and even though Xia Xia did not say anything, everyone knew that she was very anxious...

Therefore, she would rather keep waiting here than leave.

Qiu Hui lowered her gaze; a cold light flashed in her eyes as she stroked the little girl's head gently.

"Xia Xia, you have to trust me and trust them. Anything can happen to anyone in this world, but not to them!"

Xia Xia was slightly stunned. She looked at Qiu Hui, pursed her lips, and said, "I know, but I want to wait for them. I'm afraid that they will have to spend time to find me if they come to me. If I sit in a higher place, they will be able to spotme easily."

Qiu Hui looked at Xia Xia's pink face and sighed helplessly.

"You can wait for them here, but you must prioritize your health. Otherwise, they would be sad if they come back and meet you."

"Mm, I understand, Aunt Qiu."

Xia Xia smiled, then she turned to the sky again, her hand on her cheek as she sat in a daze.

Qiu Hui did not say more. She took one last look at Xia Xia, turned around, and walked down.

At the mountain's base, a female disciple saw Qiu Hui and hurriedly ran to her. "Master...."

"These few days, Hui You..." Qiu Hui paused, hiding the cold light in her eyes. "No... It's Nan Luo. What is she doing? "

She believed in Xia Xia's intuition. Since Xia Xia said she was Nan Luo, that must be!

"Master, these few days, Young Lady Hui You has not left the room at all. I only heard that recently her temper is not very good, the rest… I'm not sure," the female disciple said respectfully.

Qiu Hui's eyes glowed sardonically as she sneered. "Continue to keep an eye on her. She has had a hard time in Nine Gate now. I don't believe she won't do anything."

'Nan Luo can sit back and watch the Nan family be destroyed. It's obvious that she's hiding something.'
