Both men turned to her and said in unison, “It’s nothing . ”
That only baffled An Xiaxia further .
Sheng Yize cleared his throat . “Did you wash your hair yesterday?”
“Wait… is it really greasy?” An Xiaxia blushed . “I’ll go wash it now!”
She didn’t get to wash it in the village yesterday, so it was probably a little dirty .
Once she was gone, Sheng Yize asked the nanny to take the three kids to wash up, then darted a look at Qi Yanxi . “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Screw you! That has nothing to do with you!” said Qi Yanxi cockily . Sheng Yize didn’t lose his temper, but only chuckled . “I see you’ve grown a temper, huh? Fine, take a left turn once you’re out the door and stand in the middle of the road . I couldn’t care less if you die or not!”
Qi Yanxi bickered with him as usual until he suddenly dropped his head and said in a defeated voice, “Damn it . In the end, you’re still the one who sticks around to squabble with me…”
Sheng Yize’s face turned grim . “Enough of that! You make it sound like you have some terminal illness . Go back to the hospital, or I’ll make you!”
Qi Yanxi made a face at him, then bid Grandpa and Grandma Sheng farewell . “Grandpa, Grandma, see you!”
“Bye bye!” Grandma Sheng replied . She couldn’t help but ask Sheng Yize once Qi Yanxi was gone, “What’s going on with the kid? Is it serious?”
Sheng Yize smirked . “Will you believe me if I tell you that it’s cancer?”
The elderly couple was astonished . “Little one, is that true?”
Pepsi overheard the conversation . Scratching her head, she climbed the stairs on her short little legs and banged on the door to the bathroom .

Hearing her baby voice, An Xiaxia wrapped her hair in a towel hastily, opened the door, and asked in confusion, “Pepsi, what’s wrong?”
Peppi said, “Papa says Uncle Flower is ill!”
An Xiaxia’s eyelid twitched and she asked in a trembling voice, “What’s wrong with him?”
Pepsi searched her memory . “Cancer… Mummy, what’s that? Is it worse than poo poo?”
An Xiaxia blanched .
No, it couldn’t be…
Qi Yanxi was in such good health . How could he…
She couldn’t believe it!!
Yu City cemetery .
Qi Yanxi placed a bunch of baby’s breath at Mu Li’s grave .
On the tombstone was Mu Li’s photo from her high school graduation . Back then, she still had an inexperienced and nervous look in her eyes . She was smiling slightly, which was the prettiest Qi Yanxi remembered her looking .
“I’m here,” he said quietly . The frivolous and arrogant youth had long left him .
He went on nagging with a little smile, “I wonder how you’re doing all the time on the other side . I burned a lot of joss paper for you, but I do wish you were still living somewhere in this world… oh, your dad quit gambling . I found a stall for your mum next to a school and she opened a convenience kiosk there . Business is good… I’ll do all I can to take care of them . ”
They had never recovered Mu Li’s body after so many years .
“Come to think of it, I was such an idiot back then, being played around by that woman . You were a dummy yourself . All you needed to do was tell me that you were the one who helped me out . ” Qi Yanxi smiled self-mockingly . “Alright, I know it was all my fault and all I’m doing now is shirking my responsibility . Are you mad at me? If so, come back and get even with me . I hope… you’re still alive . ”
Looking up, the blue sky and the white clouds felt like something from another lifetime .
“I’m all alone again . ” He sighed softly .
