7 pm. Yuexin then returne home. Seeing Yuexin returning home at such a late hour, Li Haowen became angry. He said in a somewhat serious voice,
"Why you come home so late?"
At Li Haowen's words, Yuexin looked at him. Li Haowen was sitting on the sofa. In front of him was a chess set. He was making moves one after another. His face was serious.
Yuexin could tell by looking at his face that he was angry. So she left her bag and went to the kitchen.
After a while, she brought some chicken steamed bun on a plate and a Jasmine tea. Li Haowen looked at her with narrow eyes. Yuexin sat next to Li Haowen and took a bun from the plate. And took in its aroma.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
Yuexin looked at Li Haowen with narrow eyes. Li Haowen was looking at the plate in front of him. As soon as, Yuexin see that, she smiled slightly. Then she normalized herself and started talking again.
"What a delicious smell! Aha! It must have been so much tasty. Uhmmm. "
Yuexin gave the bun a small nibble.
Ummmmhhhhhhhhh.....
Li Haowen stared at her. Watching her eat with such relish made his mouth water, and he swallowed hard. Yuexin struggled to hold back her laughter.
"Ummm! How delicious! Ahahahahahaha."
Yuexin said with the food in her mouth.
Li Haowen couldn't control himself anymore and took a bun from the plate and started eating.
Li Haowen continued to eat as if nothing had happened. Yuexin looked at him with wide eyes and smiled. Li Haowen realized that Yuexin was laughing, so he looked at the chess board and continued to laugh—rubbing his hair with one hand and eating the bun with the other.
When Yuexin started to get up, Li Haowen asked her, "Why are you late? Won't you tell me?"
"The bicycle chain was off. So I had to walk home. Plss fix it a little."
"Okay."
Yuexin went to her room.
As soon as Yuexin left, Jìng came out of the kitchen. Looking at Li Haowen, she asked,
"Gone?"
Since Jìng's voice was a little high, Li Haowen got up and went to her. He gestured for her to be quiet with his finger on his mouth.
Hushhhhhhh.....
Jìng realized it and immediately covered her mouth with both hands. The two of them then started to walk towards Yuexin's room.
They were standing in front of Yuexin's room. They opened the door of the room slightly and started to peek into the room.
Yuexin took her clothes from the closet, and went to the washroom. After a while, Yuexin came out of the washroom.
Yuexin came out of the washroom and took out a Fasterd from the table. Then she started to apply medicine to the cuts on her legs and arms. She sighed.
Seeing Yuexin in such an injured state, Li Haowen wanted to enter her room. But Jìng stopped him. Li Haowen frowned and asked slowly,
"What happened?"
"Don't go in, Mr. Li Haowen."
"Why?" Li Haowen asked in a firm voice.
"If Miss Yuexin knew that we were standing outside her room and peeking, she would scold us a lot. Have you forgotten what happened last time?"
"Oh yeah. You're right. Then I won't go anymore."
"Hmm"
Jìng and Li Haowen peeked through the gap in the door again.
Yuexin finished giving her medicine. So she put the box away. Then she went to the bed. Her body felt very tired so she lay down. As soon as Yuexin put her head on the pillow, there was a sound.
Hearing the sound, Yuexin sat up. As soon as she picked up the pillow with both hands, she was surprised to see a yellow bag. When she opened the bag, she saw a dress inside. She took out the dress and saw that it was a school dress. A cute starfish designed clip was attached to the dress. Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuexin's lips. There was also a letter with it. The letter was written on pink paper. Yuexin started reading the letter.
"Good luck for the new school. And sorry for not being able to take care of you properly."
After reading the letter, Yuexin felt a strange feeling. Today, after almost 30 years, someone apologized to her, and without doing anything wrong... For the past 35 years, she was the only one who had apologized to everyone without any fault. But today, after all this time, someone is apologizing to her. And that man is someone who is taking care of her with all his might, trying to do his best—her father.
She didn't know how to express this feeling in words. Eventually, she didn't want to know. Because, If it is expressed in words, it's value will decrease. Cause only those things that are ordinary can be analyzed in the world. Extraordinary things can only be explained by extraordinary sentences. So this feeling of hers remained in the title of extraordinary words.
A tear fell from Yuexin's eyes. Today, it was proven once again how much her father loved her. Yuexin didn't want to leave this man again. After so many years, she didn't want to lose this one piece of land again—where she gets comfort, feels safe, feels confident, feels healthy.
But in the future, she has two children, Yuri, and two more new ones will come, how can she abandoned them? Two paths, both beloved people, but she has to make a choice.
Yuexin didn't know what to do. So she started to crying. This time, she no longer holds himself back from crying, she lets himself cry. Sh e let the pain that was building up inside her come out. Slowly, her tears increased. She screamed and cried very loudly.
Seeing Yuexin crying, Jìng ran inside. Li Haowen looked at her in surprise. Because a while ago, she hadn't let him go in. Without thinking anything else, he also went inside.
Jìng sat in front of Yuexin. She said in a worried tone,
"What's wrong, dear? Why are you crying? Do you get hurt somewhere? Is it hurting? Do you feel very bad? Tell me what's wrong?"
Just then, Li Haowen entered the room. He stood next to Yuexin. Yuexin cried even harder when she saw him and hugged him.
"Dad....."
Li Haowen and Jìng became worried after seeing Yuexin crying like this. The two looked at each other worriedly.
