Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 202 Lotus Tower (5)

Seeing that very familiar face, she widened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, but a voice in her heart told her that this was really Li Xiangyi who had returned! She carefully looked at the man standing in front of her and found that apart from a little more mature charm than when he left that year, there were no other obvious changes. He was still as hot and dazzling as the sun, and his face was as handsome as jade.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in the joy of reunion, and she didn't even notice when the sword in her hand fell. She walked forward excitedly, tightly grasped Li Xiangyi's arms, and choked with tears of joy, saying: "It's good to be back, it's enough to be able to return safely..."

After the master's wife calmed down a little, Li Xiangyi gently took Ji Xiao's hand, walked to the master's wife, and introduced softly: "Master's wife, this is my wife, Ji Xiao. Xiaoxiao, this is the master's wife."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiao stepped forward and bowed to the Master's wife, performed a standard bow, and greeted her softly, "Hello, Master's wife. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

The master's wife looked at them with joy, tears in her eyes, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Great, that's great! If your master knew about this, he would be very happy. It's late today, you should go to bed early. We will go to visit him together tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Master Wife."

Li Xiangyi replied softly, "You go and rest first, I will take good care of Xiao Xiao. After we have dinner and wash up, we will go to rest."

Hearing this, the master's wife looked at Li Xiangyi with suspicion and asked him, "It's already this late, and you haven't had dinner yet? Xiangyi, how on earth do you take care of Xiaoxiao?"

Ji Xiao quickly explained: "Master's wife, don't blame Xiangyi. We had lunch a little late today. It's not too late to eat now. Would you like to eat some more with us?" After that, she quickly added.

"I'll go light a fire and heat up the food." The master's wife walked towards the stove, muttering to herself, "How can I let people travel on an empty stomach?"

Facing the rebuke from the master's wife, Ji Xiao showed a helpless expression and an expression that she was unwilling to believe, and then cast her eyes on Li Xiangyi. Li Xiangyi just gently stroked Ji Xiao's hair, saying that there was no need to care about it, as if he had already gotten used to it. Then, he took Ji Xiao's hand, followed the master's wife, and walked into the kitchen with the food box.

The master's wife took the food box from Li Xiangyi and turned to them and said, "Okay, you two just sit over here for a while! It will be ready soon."

Ji Xiao looked at Li Xiangyi silently, her lips slightly opened but no sound came out, but the question in her eyes was self-evident: "Is this really okay?" However, Li Xiangyi did not answer her, but took her hand and walked straight to the dining table and sat down.

After all, Li Xiangyi knew the master's wife's temper very well. If he didn't do what she said, she would definitely be angry, and once she got angry, it would be difficult to appease her.

Now that the master has passed away, he has to follow the master's wife's wishes. After all, for the master's wife, there are only two people left by her side who can care about and depend on each other.

Li Xiangyi had no intention of telling his master's wife that she had a fifteen or sixteen-year-old grandson, because Li Nian'an was far away in another world, and it was impossible to reach him, difficult to meet him, and even mentioning him was meaningless.

So, Li Xiangyi sat quietly with Ji Xiao, listening to the master's wife busy heating up the food while chattering about the trivialities of life. At this moment, Li Xiangyi felt a kind of tranquility and peace of mind after a long separation, but deep in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret.

……

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and everything was silent, as if the whole world had entered a sweet dream. And the couple who had experienced all the hardships could finally put down their burdens and enjoy this rare quiet time with peace of mind.

The next morning, the sunlight gently shone into the room through the window, and also onto their faces. They woke up slowly, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

When the two dressed up and walked out of the room, they found that the master's wife had already gotten up and was busy preparing breakfast. Not only that, the master's wife had carefully prepared all the items needed for the worship, including the wine they brought out.

Seeing the two of them step out of the door, the master's wife came forward with a smile and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, Xiangyi, go wash up quickly. There is warm water over there. After washing up, come and have breakfast."

"Yes, Master's wife." The two of them responded in unison, and then turned and walked to the washroom. After washing up, they came to the table and sat down to enjoy a delicious breakfast with Master's wife.

After the meal, Li Xiangyi held incense, candles and paper money in his right hand, and held Ji Xiao's hand tightly with his left hand. He followed his master's wife silently and walked slowly towards his master's grave. Along the way, Li Xiangyi's mood became heavier and heavier, and his face looked a little sad. Ji Xiao noticed the change in his mood and gently kneaded his palm to comfort him. Li Xiangyi lowered his head slightly and shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the master's tomb. Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi placed the items they brought neatly around the tombstone in perfect harmony. Li Xiangyi took a deep breath and briefly told his master about his relationship with Ji Xiao again.

Afterwards, Ji Xiao and his wife walked aside and quietly waited for Li Xiangyi. While chatting with his wife, Ji Xiao still paid attention to his condition.

On the other side, Li Xiangyi silently took out two wine glasses, filled one of them with wine, and gently sprinkled it in front of the tombstone; then he raised the other glass and drank it all in one gulp.

He did not speak from beginning to end, but his expression in silence seemed to have conveyed thousands of words. When he was about to leave, he finally spoke slowly: "Master, this cup of wine was brewed by Xiao Xiao himself, and I brought it here today to offer it to you for tasting. In addition, I will definitely bring Shan Gu Dao to your grave and let him kneel down and apologize to you!"

After saying that, Li Xiangyi once again stared deeply at his master's grave, as if he wanted to engrave everything in front of him in his heart. After a long time, he turned around and walked towards Ji Xiao and the others, saying softly: "Master's wife, Xiao Xiao, let's go home!" His words revealed a feeling of relief, as if he had completed an important mission.

On the way back, the three of them were silent and didn't know what to say! In this way, the three of them returned home in silence.
