"Where am I going? Uncle is going back. "
The little girl panicked when she heard that. She kicked the thin blanket away with her short legs and got up. "Uncle, don't go. You can't leave Bao'er behind."
Li Xu was helpless. "Bao'er, listen to me. Isn't Auntie beside you?"
The little girl said pitifully, "But Auntie doesn't care about Bao'er. What if Bao'er wants to go to the toilet at night?"
"Don't you know how to go to the toilet by yourself?"
"But you can't see at night. Bao'er will fall. What if he hurts himself?"
"Then I won't turn off the lights, okay? I'll leave the lights on for you. "
"But Bao'er is still scared. Uncle, don't go, okay?" The little girl looked pitiful.
The little girl kept saying 'but'. Li Xu was at his wit's end. "Uncle also needs to go back to sleep at night."
The little girl immediately shifted her body. "Uncle can sleep with Bao'er. Bao'er can give you the middle position. Every time Mom and Auntie sleep with Bao'er, Bao'er likes to sleep in the middle."
"Forget it. Uncle will sleepwalk at night. He will kick Bao'er out of bed." Li Xu glanced at Kim Jin-hee, who was sleeping peacefully. He eliminated Bao'er's constructive suggestion.
"I see." The little girl frowned. "Good babies shouldn't move around when sleeping. But if Uncle leaves, Bao'er will be scared."
Li Xu squatted beside Bao'er's bed and held Bao'er's little hand. "Then Uncle will wait until Bao'er falls asleep before leaving, okay? Tomorrow when Bao'er wakes up, your Auntie will prepare breakfast for Bao'er. "
"Then ~ ~ ~ okay." Bao'er turned to look at his Auntie. He could only sigh and hold Li Xu's hand as he lay down.
"Close your eyes and sleep."
"I can't sleep."
"I have to sleep even if I can't."
"How can I sleep if I can't sleep?" The little girl felt wronged.
"I'll turn off the lights. Be good and go to sleep."
Li Xu turned off the lights and sat on the floor, playing with his phone with one hand. The little girl used her chubby little hand to pinch Li Xu's hand from time to time.
Every now and then, Li Xu would look up to see if the little girl was asleep. However, Bao'er was unusually energetic. Every time she saw Li Xu, she would smile sweetly at Li Xu.
Unknowingly, Li Xu tossed his phone aside and slowly fell asleep by the side of the bed.
… ….
Li Xu was in a daze when he felt an intense pain coming from his leg.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Li Xu groaned and suddenly woke up. He saw a black shadow turn upside down.
Li Xu subconsciously stretched out his hand, and a soft body threw itself into his embrace. The soft body almost made Li Xu roll his eyes.
"Sister Jin-hee." Li Xu immediately reacted.
"En."
Kim Jin-hee fell onto Li Xu's body. Evidently, she didn't react in time and only after a long time did she respond softly.
Her hot breath just happened to hit Li Xu's cheek, making it itchy.
Li Xu quivered and lightly pushed Kim Jin-hee. Kim Jin-hee covered her head and sat on the floor. Li Xu also sat up.
Not knowing what time it was, the little girl Bao'er was sleeping soundly on the bed.
The light was very dim, and other than a blurry figure, nothing could be seen clearly. Li Xu looked at Kim Jin-hee's blurry figure and hesitated, "Are you sober?"
"Much better, but my head still hurts a little."
The answer was very clear. It was clear that Kim Jin-hee was no longer that drunk muggle.
"Did you take the hangover medicine on the bedside table?"
"I took it just now."
Li Xu explained. "Erm, Sister Jin-hee, I originally planned to leave after Bao'er fell asleep, but in the end, I fell asleep first."
"En."
Kim Jin-hee remained silent. "I didn't know that you were here, I got up and stepped on you."
"It's okay." Li Xu fumbled around for his phone and prepared to look at the time.
"Hey! Li Xu, if you separate your entire life, how many years is there in between? "Kim Jin-hee suddenly spoke.
This question that came out of nowhere caused Li Xu to be a bit stupefied. He stopped what he was doing and probed, "Let's say that I live to 80 years old …"
Kim Jin-hee interrupted, "How can you guarantee that you will live to 80 years old?"
Li Xu, "…"
You have me stumped with this question.
"When my father passed away, he was 40 years old, and when my mother passed away, she was 41 years old."
Li Xu went into a daze. I have never heard Kim Jin-hee talk about her family's situation before, I didn't expect that her parents were already gone. Perhaps, it was because she had already experienced a heartbreaking separation, and thus, she would feel so painful when she experienced another separation.
Kim Jin-hee continued, "When Mozart passed away, he was 35 years old, and when Kurt Cobain passed away, he died at 27 years old."
"Wait a minute." Li Xu spoke and interrupted, "Cobain committed suicide."
"How can you guarantee that you won't commit suicide? When Cobain was your age, he had never thought of committing suicide. "
Kim Jin-hee's soul interrogation caused Li Xu to be speechless. Kim Jin-hee sighed, "Just like big sister Mei Shan."
Li Jiu was silent. "I'll tell you the answer to that question when I'm eighty."
Kim Jin-hee was also silent. "Maybe I won't be around by then."
"That won't happen." Li Xu was a little agitated.
"Maybe we have already spent more than half of our lives, and we don't know when we will say goodbye to this world. I just don't know if we will feel regret."
Kim Jin-hee's voice was low as she leaned against the bed. In Li Xu's eyes, that hazy figure seemed like it would disappear at any moment.
"Kim Jin-hee, listen to me."
Li Xu moved closer to Kim Jin-hee and raised his voice. "In this life of mine, the past 20 years have been very exciting.
I have beaten up the kindergarten bully and peed in the principal's office. I have even been the big brother of our physics teacher. He is almost 60 years old, but I still call him 'brother.'
The average age of a German's love life is 15 years old. When I was still acting like a chuunibyou, they were already worried about whether I would get the disease. But I am not envious at all.
Because I met Lin Yuqing, I met the best. I met the person that others can't find in their lifetime.
I still have family and friends who love me, and I still have Bao'er.
So, if I die tomorrow, I will be very, very, very regretful. Because I am attached to this world, I will not give up on life no matter what. "
After saying that, Li Xu leaned forward, trying hard to see the face in the darkness in front of him.
Kim Jin-hee suddenly chuckled. "Why do you have to be so serious?"
Li Xu could clearly see a trace of sparkling in the darkness. "Why do you have to be so pessimistic? This world is more beautiful than you think. "
"Yes, what a beautiful world. But why doesn't Sister Meishan have a trace of nostalgia? She is such a kind person."
Kim Jin-hee whispered softly, but Li Xu knew that she was crying.
She was crying again.
"Sister Jin-hee." Li Xu leaned against Kim Jin-hee, not knowing what to say.
Kim Jin-hee suddenly threw herself into his arms. Her shoulders shook slightly as she sobbed softly.
Li Xu hesitated for a moment, then put his hands together and gently patted her back.
"Cry, cry. Everything will be fine tomorrow."
