“Dad, you should go back first. Xu Wenping and 1 will sit alone for a while.”

Seeing Uncle Han’s gaze, he really wanted to follow. However, when he heard his daughter speak, he nodded helplessly. He was in the wrong to lose money in gambling. Perhaps he would feel guilty for not letting his daughter live a happy life all these years.

Although for gamblers, once they climbed onto the gambling table, all human feelings would be thrown aside.

“Let’s go.”

Han Xiaoxia smiled sweetly. Her two dimples were deep, but they were still bright, like a blooming orchid.

Xu Wenping nodded slightly.

Perhaps it was because of what happened later that Xu Wenping had long let go of her. He only thought that he was inexperienced when he was young and had a moment of dazzling sparks. Compared to the ‘first love’ they mentioned at the class reunion, perhaps the girl in front of him was the one that Xu Wenping had treasured for a long time and was unwilling to talk about.

“Why don’t you wait a little longer while 1 change my clothes?”

When she walked out of the door, Han Xiaoxia looked at her clothes and suddenly spoke awkwardly.

Her clothes were very simple and a little dirty. Although he hadn’t asked about her for many years, looking at her clothes today, she should be working in her father’s shop. There were still some remnants of hair on her jade hands.

“Alright.”

Han Xiaoxia smiled and immediately went to change her clothes.

In less than five minutes, Han Xiaoxia walked out in clean clothes. She was wearing ordinary jeans, a pair of white shoes, and a short jacket over a white T-shirt. She was not wearing much, and she looked simple and pleasant.

She was unlike the girls in the city, who took a lot of time to put on makeup and dress up. Even a girl like Yu Youling was not immune to it.

Han Xiaoxia had already been worn down by life. In such a small town where no one paid attention to her, she would not pay too much attention to her appearance. Therefore, even the makeup on her face was only light.

Han Xiaoxia smiled at Xu Wenping and looked around. The street was already dark, and there were only two or three barbecue shops open.

There were only two or three of them in the town.

“Why don’t we go into the city to play?” Han Xiaoxia said softly.

The streets were filled with familiar faces.

Han Xiaoxia didn’t say this out loud, but seeing Han Xiaoxia’s eagerness, Xu Wenping seemed to understand something. He felt a slight pain in his heart, and then nodded gently.

“I’ll call a taxi.”

Han Xiaoxia looked around and noticed that Xu Wenping did not drive. She immediately took out her phone.

It was very difficult to get a taxi at night in the small town, so Han Xiaoxia called and asked for a taxi to drive down from the city and pick them up.

While waiting for the bus, Xu Wenping squatted on the side of the road and gently put down the thermos in his hand. Han Xiaoxia also squatted down.

“All these years…”

“All these years…”

The two of them spoke in unison, both wanting to act out and break this strange awkwardness. Hearing this, they looked at each other and smiled. Then, they said in unison, “You go first!”

Their smiles became gentler, but Han Xiaoxia was more straightforward and said softly, “After junior high, I heard that you went to Jin Hai City with your parents. I’ve been studying in the city. Later, I failed the college entrance examination, so I learned hairdressing from my father.”

“I originally thought that the two of us would have a better life. Unexpectedly, after I skillfully learned this skill, my father became idle. From time to time, he would run away to play mahjong or play cards.”

“Actually, we can barely make it through the days. Some time ago, a few bad friends of my father came to him, so he suddenly owed a bunch of gambling debts.”

“I’m not sure.” Han Xiaoxia smiled gently. “Our store only earns about 50 to 60 thousand yuan a year, excluding the rent, water, electricity, and my father’s expenses. Two months ago, we just bought a house with the money we saved. Actually, it’s not that we can’t afford it. My dad wants to delay it, and we’re not willing to sell the house.”

Han Xiaoxia spoke. Her hoarse voice was full of life.

Han Xiaoxia was indeed very beautiful, just like Li Bai’s poem: “Clear water produces hibiscus, and nature goes to carve.” Even without any makeup or clothes, she was still the kind of girl who would make people feel stunned at first glance in a crowd.

However, the heavens would not give people perfect things, so Han Xiaoxia’s voice was hoarse like smoke. It was not unpleasant to hear, but it did not match her beautiful appearance.

Xu Wenping had been feeling excited from the beginning to the end. When he heard this, he sighed in his heart.

If he had not obtained the system, he might have had an easier time with the help of his father and mother. However, he would probably be like Han Xiaoxia, working hard to make a living.

After some thought, Xu Wenping smiled and said, “1 remember that you seem to be one year older than me, but you’re not very young either. Have you ever had a boyfriend?”

Han Xiaoxia was slightly stunned. She looked at Xu Wenping strangely and smiled. “Two years ago, I had a boyfriend, but it ended in less than a month. They all say I’m picky… I don’t know why, but perhaps it’s more comfortable to be single.”

“Oh!”

Xu Wenping nodded with a complicated feeling. Even if it was the white moonlight in his memories, how could it not be stained by dust for so many years?

Xu Wenping thought of something and suddenly raised his eyebrows. “Oh right, it’s the fifteenth of August in a few days, right? 1 remember that the Mid-Autumn Festival is your birthday. How do you usually spend it?”

“This time, 1 plan to accompany my grandparents for a few days. If possible, I can even attend your birthday party.”

Xu Wenping didn’t mean it, but as soon as he finished speaking, Han Xiaoxia’s eyes flashed with a trace of confusion.

Ever since she failed the college entrance examination, she had not celebrated her birthday for so many years.

Xu Wen’s words were so light that Han Xiaoxia was slightly moved. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, “There’s no gathering. Just eat a bowl of longevity noodles!”

“Don’t just ask me. You’re so generous now, so your life should be good? Married? No… You must be married. Do you have children?”

Their eyes met, and they seemed to have endless words to say.

At this moment, the taxi flashed its lights twice and the horn beeped twice.

Han Xiaoxia immediately stood up and waved her hand, shouting, “This way!”

The two of them took a car into the city. Because the driver was there, the two of them didn’t continue discussing. They waited until the car stopped at the night market street. The two of them took two steps apart. Han Xiaoxia pointed at the neon flashing Slow Roll Bar and said, “I haven’t jumped for a long time. Why don’t we go in and have a walk?”

Xu Wenping usually didn’t go to such places because it was too noisy. Now, he liked the quiet more and more.

He didn’t reject her. Xu Wenping nodded with a smile when he saw Han Xiaoxia’s tired face..
