When Xiaozhu heard Su Xiu say his father's name directly, she was surprised and excited.

"Do you really know my father?"

Xiaozhu grabbed Su Xiu's hand tightly, and her body trembled involuntarily.

"Um!"

Su Xiu nodded slightly, but looked at Xiao Zhu who was excited and couldn't bear to tell the truth to the other party.

"Let's talk in a different place. People come and go, so it's not suitable to chat."

Seeing Xiaozhu so nervous about his father, Su Xiu could guess how sad Xiaozhu would be after learning the truth.

It is indeed not appropriate to say these things when people come and go at the entrance of the college.

"All right!"

Xiaozhu looked at Su Xiu and felt a bad premonition in her heart.

Although I really wanted to know about my father, I still held back and nodded.

"Come with me!"

Su Xiu pulled back the hand that Xiaozhu had tightly grasped, then turned around and took the lead in walking towards the Li family restaurant.

When she turned around, Su Xiu threw a look at Ye Qin.

Ye Qin immediately understood and stepped forward to hold Xiaozhu's hand and followed Su Xiu.

She could feel Xiaozhu's body trembling constantly.

My father hasn't come back for a few years.

Now that she suddenly heard the news, it made her mood difficult to calm down and she was not under control at all.

The Li Family Restaurant is not far from Longhan War Academy, and the three of them arrived soon.

What surprised Su Xiu was that there was only a deserted table of guests in the Li family restaurant.

"Young Master Su Xiu, you are here, I'll call Manager Li now!"

The waiter saw Su Xiu and hurriedly greeted him.

"No need, please prepare a private room for me and don't let anyone disturb you."

Su Xiu took out a pack of gold coins and handed them over to say.

"Okay, wait!"

The waiter nodded, glanced at Ye Qin and Xiaozhu behind Su Xiu, and then walked towards the counter.

From beginning to end, I never took the gold coins handed over by Su Xiu.

Su Xiu knew that this was because of his relationship with Li Qiuyang.

But he was not pretentious, and some gold coins were just outside his body.

"Young Master Su, you're ready, please come with me!"

The waiter came back soon, took Su Xiu and the other two to the second floor, and opened the door to a private room.

"This private room is not facing the street, it is the quietest private room. If you have any needs, please give me any instructions."

The waiter brought the three of them into the private room, then prepared some tea, and then left the private room.

"Thank you!"

Su Xiu thanked him and then closed the door of the private room.

Looking back, Xiaozhu held Ye Qin's hand tightly, and was still shaking slightly. Her big watery eyes stared at Su Xiu's every move.

"Do you know this thing?"

Su Xiu could see the anxiousness in Xiaozhu's eyes, and did not beat around the bush and took out the pocket watch directly.

"This is my father's pocket watch!"

The moment she saw the pocket watch, Xiaozhu stood up excitedly.

"The photos inside were taken by my father when he came back and took me to the photo studio in Luocheng, five years ago."

Xiaozhu held the pocket watch in both hands, and had guessed something, and tears burst out from her eyes.

“That day was my tenth birthday.”

Tears dripped across her cheeks, dripping from both sides of her chin, and fell onto the pocket watch.

Su Xiu and Ye Qin looked at the sad Xiaozhu, but did not bother and just stayed quietly.

Both of them understood that letting the sad people cry and vent their feelings is the best choice.

If a person is sad and does not cry, he will hold it in his heart, become more and more uncomfortable, and in the end he will only be hurt deeper.

"My father..."

After a while, Xiaozhu recovered. Although she had already guessed in her heart, she couldn't help looking at Su Xiu.

The hope in my eyes is so passionate.

My father hasn't come back for several years, so how could she not have guessed?

When there was no news, she could still comfort herself, maybe her father had delayed something.

Now that her father's pocket watch has been brought back by Su Xiu, she is not a fool either.

If my father is still alive, even if he can't come back, how could he hand over the pocket watch to Su Xiu?

A pocket watch is not a precious thing, but it contains pictures of her.

"From the future, no matter where my father is, I will be with my baby daughter."

I still remember the happy smile that filled my face when my father pasted her photo on the lid of the pocket watch.

Xiaozhu only felt her eyes blurred again.

She hoped that she could hear good news from Su Xiu.

Even a glimmer of hope is OK.

However, Su Xiu sighed and said, "Your father...he died."

“Woooooooooooo…”

Having guessed the answer, Xiaozhu thought he wouldn't be so sad.

But she couldn't help but feel dizzy. She felt that something suddenly disappeared in her heart and became empty at this moment.

She finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing this, Ye Qin stepped forward and took her into her arms, patted her back lightly, and comforted her silently.

Su Xiu and Ye Qin looked at each other, and both expressed their worries in their helplessness.

Xiaozhu is just a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, and this is a big blow to her.

Both of them were comforted, but looking at Xiao Zhu who had already cried, they felt that something was stuck in his throat and could not speak.

After a long time, Xiaozhu's crying gradually became smaller and finally stopped.

"Brother Su Xiu, thank you!"

"And you, Sister Ye Qin!"

"Thank you!"

Xiaozhu left Ye Qin's arms, raised her sleeves and wiped away the tears from her face, and thanked the two of them.

"Xiaozhu, the sacred and reciprocates. I believe Uncle Wei hopes you will be happy forever."

Facing the powerful monster, Su Xiu was able to do it without hesitation and be quick and neat.

But he is not good at comforting people.

After blurting out what I thought about, I became a little clumsy.

"Thank you, Brother Su Xiu!"

Xiaozhu thanked Su Xiu for his comfort.

Then, she sat down slowly, looked at Su Xiu and said, "Can you tell me in detail how my father sacrificed?"

"All right!"

Su Xiu was silent for a while, then took a deep breath, and walked to the table in the private room to sit down.

While pouring tea for Xiaozhu and Ye Qin, he organized language in his heart.

In fact, until this moment, Su Xiu was still hesitating whether to tell Xiaozhu all the truth.

If Uncle Weicheng died at the hands of the barbarian beast, the matter might have ended here.

But if it was said to be dead at the hands of mutants, things might become more complicated.

Although I have known Xiaozhu for a short time, Su Xiu can see that this is a very decisive little girl.
