Chapter 6: Back from the Dead (Part 1) Huaxia Book Library Network

  The night wind is gentle, and there are only a few people left in the small town. The dim yellow street lamps flicker weakly, emitting a drowsy yellow light that casts a hazy shadow on the streets, making them even more desolate and cold.

  In a house slightly south of the town center, a radiant girl was laughing and sitting on the bed of a middle-aged man. The girl was Huang Xiuying, and the middle-aged man was her father, Huang Shurang.

  Huang Xiuying smiled and said: "Dad, this story is not nice! Punish you to tell a better one tomorrow!"

  Huang Shu Lang smiled and said: "Alright! The more you talk, the better. What's the big deal?"

  "Alright! No taking it back. Let's make a pinky promise!" She said, stretching out a small, white, and delicate hand, her little finger was slender and shiny like jade, reflecting soft light under the lamp.

  "Yingying, you're really beautiful, just like your mother, always so captivating! When you grow up a bit more, I don't know how many boys will be infatuated with you? In the future, who knows who will have the good fortune to marry my daughter!" Huang Shurong said with a smile, but his eyes had a hint of solemnity and regret.

  "Dad! You're so good at talking, I'll get you a cup of hot water for free!" After pouring the water, Huang Xiuying held her chin with both hands and smiled as she watched her dad take a sip.

  Huang Shu Rang took a sip of water, looked at Huang Xiu Ying, his face serious, and said softly: "Xiu Ying, you've been with me all day today, Daddy is very happy. But don't do this again in the future. If you don't study hard, Daddy won't be happy!"

  "Ha ha, Dad, from now on I won't go to school anymore. I've already understood what those teachers are teaching. Besides, they can't compare with your genius, right? I want you to teach me, then I'll take the exam for the best high school in the city, No. 1 High School, and after that, I'll take the exam for the best university in China, Peking University. And then I'll still be with you, as your secretary. How does that sound? We can even go abroad to study together with Mom, at the best university, Harvard University. What do you think?"

  Huang Shu Lang listened, and his eyes revealed a serene and yearning gaze. In the gaze, a strange and dreamy light flickered, emitting a series of clear and faint halos that surrounded him endlessly. Suddenly, the corner of his eye twitched, and a stream of tears slid down quietly. The tenderness in his gaze was like the tears, brushing over his eyebrows, sliding across his face, and falling onto Huang Xiu Ying's jade-like face.

  This is a delicate and pale face, with a pair of bright big eyes, the eyes are full of smiles, but the smile is somewhat empty. Behind the emptiness, there is a faint sadness. Huang Shu-rong suddenly understood, enlightened, what a good daughter! Even if I die, I can close my eyes in peace. Thinking about death, Huang Shu-rong's heart aches secretly, this world is worth lingering in! Because here, two women need him, love him, just like he loves them, needs them. Death, for him, may be just a relief, relieving the physical constraints, relieving the physical suffering, he can endure, but cannot bear the suffering in his heart. If I leave, what will they do? My daughter is still too young, but my wife is still young, there is still much time to spend together. But the lonely lamp and shadow, this is a difficult day!

  Huang Xiuying looked at her father and saw the quietly falling tear, so crystal clear that it seemed to hold many things inside. There was a hint of kindness, a hint of regret, a hint of worry, and a hint of heartache. Inside, there was a whole world, a world full of emotions, the most real, pure, and perfect world. In this world, there were three people, three people who should have been happy, laughing, and sweetly in love. But all of this would soon come to an end, like tears being engulfed by the night. Huang Xiuying wanted to cry, but didn't want to cry, wanted to laugh, but felt that laughter was too hollow, so she just quietly looked on, as still as the night.

  The night was really quiet! However, a clear shadow flashed out from the dark corner of the street. The shadow stopped for a moment, and it turned out to be a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. The boy looked around at his surroundings, then took a few quick steps with his feet, and disappeared into the darkness.

  Huang Xiuying let her father fall asleep before leaving the room. When she returned to her own room, she suddenly felt very tired and was too exhausted to cry as she had originally intended. She gazed out of the window at the desolate night scene.

  Suddenly, a face appeared outside the window, a gentle and leisurely face with a faint smile, quietly looking at herself. She suddenly felt very moved, her eyes turning red. The face smiled at her and nodded lightly. It was this face that made her understand many things, making her mature greatly. Without hesitation, she quickly opened the window and let him jump in silently.

  Huang Xiuying suddenly remembered that her room was on the second floor. The second floor, where was he just standing? She felt a little unbelievable and looked at him with a still faint smile. Originally she should be afraid, but seeing his smile, she forgot all her fears, because she believed in this face, and would never doubt it again.

  "How did you get here so late?" Huang Xiuying looked at him for a long time before speaking softly.

  Wu Xin's face was slightly red, and he whispered softly: "You didn't go to class today... I'm afraid of startling others... Did I scare you? I forgot that this is your... resting place."

  Huang Xiuying suddenly understood what was going on, no wonder she didn't speak earlier, it turned out that she was a bit shy! You can also be shy, Huang Xiuying thought of this and suddenly remembered that she only wore a thin undergarment, things that shouldn't be exposed were all seen by him... As soon as she thought of this, Huang Xiuying's face suddenly turned red, how come she didn't think of it earlier? Ah, so embarrassing!
