In the afternoon.
As soon as Chen Xi got home, Auntie Zhang told her that she was leaving.
She had planned to leave after the National Day holiday, but this morning, her son suddenly called and said that her daughter was sick and asked her to go home to help take care of the child.
Aunt Zhang guessed that this was a lie made up by her son to let her go home early.
But after thinking for a long time, Aunt Zhang decided to go back.
Because of the promise back then, she had not been home all these years. She even spent the New Year here with the little girl.
Aunt Zhang also had relatives, so naturally, she would miss home.
So after Chen Xi heard this, he did not say anything and immediately went out to buy her a ticket on the earliest flight.
Tomorrow morning at 11 o 'clock, Zhonghai flew to Chengdu. Including the fuel cost, it cost more than 800 yuan. They could fly there in less than four hours.
Although they had not spent much time together, to be honest, Chen Xi really did not want Aunt Zhang to leave.
But …
Aunt Zhang had done too much for their family in the past few years. She also had her own family. She could not always alienate her family for the sake of their family.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Chen Xi did not dare to say anything to make her stay.
He couldn't return the favor that he owed her anymore …
At night, Aunt Zhang asked Niannian to sleep with Chen Xi while she took the opportunity to secretly pack her things.
She could not let the child know that she was leaving.
Things were different now. In the past, it took two days to get to Zhonghai by train. Now, the plane arrived in an instant.
Rong City wasn't far away, and the round-trip ticket wasn't expensive, but the sudden sense of loss when they were about to part made Chen Xi feel very uncomfortable.
That night, Chen Xi did not sleep.
After coaxing the little girl to sleep, he rushed out a few protective jade talismans overnight.
Although they were called protective jade talismans, they were actually three Guanyin pendants that he bought after haggling at the jewelry store in the afternoon for 300 yuan.
A jade pendant for 100 yuan. Without looking, he knew that this was the most worthless Xiuyan jade.
You get what you pay for, so even the Guanyin carved on it was a little crooked.
After some processing, Chen Xi engraved a miniature defensive formation on the back of the Guanyin pendant.
Every time the wearer's life was in danger, the formation would be activated, and the effect was enough to withstand the impact of a large truck.
The law and order in Hua Xia had always been good. Apart from accidents, there shouldn't be anything that could threaten Aunt Zhang's life.
After weighing the jade pendant in his hand for a moment, Chen Xi felt relieved and returned to his bed.
The pure white moonlight shone into the room through the curtains. The little girl was sleeping soundly.
Chen Xi turned sideways and looked at her white and tender little face. He couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her little face.
The little girl seemed to have sensed something. After waving her little hand and patting the air, she turned around and pressed down on the quilt, revealing two short lotus-like legs.
Chen Xi smiled and tucked her in. Then, he lay back on the bed and closed his eyes to meditate.
…
The next morning.
The little girl did not seem to notice that the atmosphere in the house was a little strange.
Therefore, after breakfast, she happily said goodbye to her grandmother as usual.
Aunt Zhang looked at the lively and cute little girl and suddenly felt a little reluctant to part. So, she reached out her hands and said kindly, "Hey, Niannian, you're such a good girl. Come, let grandma hug you …"
Hearing this, the little girl immediately threw down her little schoolbag and jumped into Aunt Zhang's arms.
"Oh, Niannian, you've grown up again. Grandma can't carry you anymore!"
Aunt Zhang tried to carry the little girl and found that the little girl had gained a lot of weight.
She estimated that she weighed 20 to 30 kilograms.
"I can carry you, I can carry you!" The little girl giggled and burrowed into Aunt Zhang's arms.
"Grandma will send you to school today. How about it?"
"Okay!" The little girl sat on Aunt Zhang's lap and nodded vigorously.
Aunt Zhang stood up with the little girl in her arms. After a few steps, she found that she could not carry Niannian anymore.
Thus, she gently put the little fellow down and held the little fellow's hand as they walked out.
Chen Xi knew that Aunt Zhang could not bear to part with the child, so he did not say anything. After cleaning up the dishes, he silently followed the grandmother and granddaughter out of the house.
Along the way, the little boy talked about what he had seen and heard in the kindergarten, and Aunt Zhang listened with a smile.
Chen Xi silently followed behind them, but he could not help but feel troubled.
When the little girl came back from school in the afternoon and found that Aunt Zhang was not there, she would cry to no end.
God …
At the thought of the terrible thing that was about to happen, Chen Xi could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
There was only one thing in the world that he was afraid of, and that was …
Niannian crying!
Chen Xi stood behind Aunt Zhang with a bitter face. When he saw that she sent the little girl to kindergarten, he finally could not help but let out a long sigh.
Aunt Zhang turned around and looked at Chen Xi with a smile and asked, "What's wrong? You can't bear to part with an old woman like me? "
"Of course I can't bear to part with her … How about this, I'll bring Niannian to Chengdu to visit you once every month."
Hearing that, Aunt Zhang spat at him and complained, "That won't do! Wastrel! The plane tickets are expensive! "
Chen Xi smiled and did not reply, but he had already made up his mind.
Don't think that he did not see that Aunt Zhang was secretly wiping her tears just now.
At the airport, they had to go through security and check in their luggage. Time was a little tight.
So, after returning home, Chen Xi took the initiative to help Aunt Zhang pack her luggage.
Aunt Zhang had quite a lot of things. She filled two large canvas bags before she was finally done.
After tidying up, the house instantly felt a lot more spacious and empty, making Chen Xi feel a little unfamiliar.
Before leaving, Aunt Zhang took a deep look at the house. Then, she pulled Chen Xi and took a taxi straight to the airport.
When they were about to go through security, Chen Xi handed the jade talisman to Aunt Zhang and told her to carry it with her. At the same time, he reminded her to call him when she got off the plane. If she encountered any difficulties, remember to contact him immediately.
It was rare for Aunt Zhang to see Chen Xi's long-winded appearance. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"You're a good child. Yingying didn't misjudge you."
This was the last sentence Aunt Zhang left before she left.
…
This was the biggest difference between Earth and the Heavenly Jade World.
Seven emotions.
Joy, anger, worry, longing, sorrow, fear, shock.
Only here could Chen Xi deeply understand that he was still a human, and not an immortal cultivator who blindly pursued the Heavenly Dao.
It was said that in order to successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation and become an Immortal Emperor, the first thing one had to do was to have no distractions, no desires, and no attachments.
Was this the so-called Heartless Dao, Unruffled Dao, and Heartless Dao?
Chen Xi pondered for a moment.
He still felt that …
