Xia Zhenhai leaned on a cane and strenuously walked along the corridor step by step, stumbling because of anxiety.
"Yunshuang, where are you? Yunshuang!"
The rich, old voice echoed in the empty corridor.
Suddenly, his feet became unsteady and he almost fell down, but was steadily supported by Qin Nianzhen, who was coming towards him.
"Dad, be careful." Qin Nianzhen heard Xia Zhenhai's shouting voice from a distance. It was unusual and she shouted Leng Yunshuang's name eagerly. She quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
Fortunately, she arrived in time to prevent Xia Zhenhai from falling.
Xia Zhenhai is old, and if he falls or breaks his bones, he will be in trouble.
"Nian Zhen. Hurry! Help me find it!" Xia Zhenhai squeezed Qin Nian Zhen's arm hard, looking anxious and panicked.
The strength was so great that Qin Nianzhen couldn't help but frown in pain.
"Dad, what are you looking for?"
"Yunshuang! I saw Yunshuang just now. Really, it's over there." Xia Zhenhai pointed to the middle of the corridor.
"She accidentally bumped into me and held me steady. When she raised her head, I saw her face clearly. I was so shocked that I didn't have time to react. When I came to my senses, she was already gone. Hurry.
Hurry up, help me find her!" Xia Zhenhai was so anxious that he kept tapping the ground with his crutch.
An Yunxi had never seen Xia Zhenhai lose her composure and lose her soul. She hid behind Qin Nianzhen in fear.
Qin Nianzhen smiled and comforted Xia Zhenhai softly, "Dad, how is it possible? You must have seen it wrong."
"No, it's impossible to be mistaken. It's really Yunshuang! I saw it with my own eyes! If you don't believe it, I'll go find it myself!"
"Dad, stop making trouble! Let's go home." Qin Nianzhen stepped forward and grabbed Xia Zhenhai. Everyone said that when they grow old, they are like children, often throwing tantrums.
"Go away! I'll look for it myself!" Xia Zhenhai was really angry, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he was far more angry than when we were discussing marriage in the box just now!
Qin Nian was stunned. Xia Zhenhai didn't look like he was confused.
She asked, "Okay, Dad. You said you saw Leng Yunshuang. How old is she?"
Xia Zhenhai pointed at An Yunxi, "As old as she is, in her early twenties."
Qin Nianzhen laughed loudly, "Dad, don't be ridiculous, my mother has been dead for decades. If she is still alive, she would be at least seventy years old. How can she still be a little girl in her twenties?"
She stepped forward and held Xia Zhenhai's arm, coaxing, "Okay, you must have seen it wrong. At most, they look similar. It can't be my mother."
Xia Zhenhai was in a daze, unable to hide his disappointment, and kept mumbling, "Yes, if Yun Shuang is still here, and she is my age, how can she still be young and look like when we first met her."
"That's right. Okay, let's go home." Qin Nianzhen winked at An Yunxi.
An Yunxi quickly stepped forward to help Xia Zhenhai and called sweetly, "Grandpa, we are going home."
Xia Zhenhai sighed, reluctant to leave his feet, and kept looking back at the corridor.
In the empty corridor, the girl from before could no longer be seen.
"It's so similar. She looks so much like Yunshuang."
Qin Nianzhen helped Xia Zhenhai go downstairs slowly, feeling filled with emotions.
Xia Zhenhai spent his whole life on the battlefield and was truly a lover. He never forgot Leng Yunshuang and never married again.
Even if the Xia family threw away all Leng Yunshuang's belongings, burned all photos, and eliminated all traces of Leng Yunshuang's existence, they just wanted to make Xia Zhenhai forget about Leng Yunshuang and start over.
However, it still failed to erase the slightest trace of yearning in Xia Zhenhai's heart.
The photos can be burned. Even Qin Ninzhen has never seen Leng Yunshuang's photos.
However, the memory cannot be erased. As decades have passed, Leng Yunshuang's face is still deeply engraved in Xia Zhenhai's bones and blood. It cannot be burned, destroyed, or forgotten forever.
