The snowstorm dispersed, and the two little girls looked at Xue An, somewhat afraid.
Xue An squatted down and said with a smile, “What are your names?”
The girls glanced at each other before one timidly said, “I am the elder sister, Xue Xiang.”
“I am the younger sister, Xue Nian.”
Xue Xiang, Xue Nian!
Xue An felt a stab of pain in his heart, imagining just how much An Yan must have missed him.
“Uncle, where is the chubby auntie?” Xue Xiang asked.
“The chubby auntie… they had to leave earlier because of some matters.”
“Then uncle, who are you?” Xue Nian asked.
“Yeah! Who am I, indeed?” Xue An muttered to himself, lost in thought.
He had been a destitute youth, as well as the supreme Immortal Venerable, but now, who was he?
After a moment, a broad smile spread across Xue An’s face, “I am… your daddy!”
“You’re lying!” said Xue Xiang.
“Yes, you’re lying, Daddy is actually dead!” Xue Nian chimed in.
Xue An looked at his twin daughters, a surge of tenderness suddenly welling up in his heart.
“Daddy isn’t dead, Daddy just went to a very far place, and now Daddy has come back!”
“Really?” Xue Xiang looked at Xue An, hesitation in her eyes.
Xue An, moved, pulled out a ring.
It was the couple ring he had bought, one for An Yan and one for himself!
“Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, look at this ring! It has Daddy and Mommy’s names on it!”
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian of course couldn’t read, but Auntie Tang Xuan’er had told them about a ring their mother left them when she went away.
Xue Xiang had always carried it with her, and upon comparing it with the one Xue An showed, it indeed matched as a pair!
“Daddy, is it really you?” exclaimed Xue Xiang and Xue Nian in unison.
Xue An nodded with a smile and then reached out his arms.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian glanced at each other, tears streaming down their faces, and they ran into Xue An’s embrace, crying.
“Daddy, we missed you so much!”
“Daddy, we thought you and Mommy would never come back, thought you didn’t want us anymore!”
Tears moistened Xue An’s chest, and also his eyes.
The Immortal Venerable, who hadn’t shed a tear no matter how much suffering he endured over three thousand years, now had tears streaming down his face.
“Alright, alright, no more crying! Daddy has come back, and Daddy will never leave you again!”
“Mmm!” The little sisters buried their heads in Xue An’s chest and refused to get up.
Yes!
Over the years, the little sisters had endured all the hardships of life; now that they had found a warm embrace, naturally, they didn’t want to leave.
Gently stroking their hair, Xue An said softly, “How did you end up selling flowers outside?”
Xue Xiang looked up and said, “Because we’re supposed to go to kindergarten now! But the tuition is a big problem, so Nian Nian and I came out to sell flowers to try to save up for it!”
Xue Xiang’s words almost brought Xue An to tears again.
A four-year-old child had already taken on the burdens of life, sensibly mature in a way that was heart-wrenching.
Xue An touched Xue Xiang’s little head and said with a gentle laugh, “From now on, you have Daddy. You don’t have to worry about anything. I will make you the happiest little princesses in the world, no, in the entire universe!”
At the entrance of a secluded and dilapidated residential area in Beijiang.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian each held one of Xue An’s hands, excitedly walking inside.
Xue An, observing the familiar surroundings, experienced a tumult of emotions.
This was the place he and An Yan had lived for two years.
As they arrived at a familiar door, before they could knock, the door opened on its own.
Standing in front of them was the lively figure of Tang Xuan’er, who laughingly said, “Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, look what Auntie Tang Xuan’er has brought for you!”
