Gong Shaoying slowly walked around the neighborhood aimlessly.
The sound of children playing could be heard from the neighborhood.
It seemed to be noon. He could vaguely hear the sound of cooking through the open windows of some houses.
Soon after, someone called the playful children home for lunch.
Beneath his feet was a newly poured cement road.
This road seemed to have been an ordinary mud road before, but after the city's construction, it was transformed into a cement road.
However, it seemed to have been modified bit by bit. As a result, the road had a patch-like feel. Piece by piece, it gave a very shabby feeling.
Suddenly, he walked to a residential area and stopped in his tracks.
From his point of view, he could see a courtyard.
It was a small courtyard, but it was neatly maintained.
Green grass, wisteria, and beautiful Chinese roses decorated the originally dilapidated courtyard.
He could not help but be attracted by the courtyard. He slowly walked a few steps closer, but he was unexpectedly bumped into by a few naughty children.
The group of children obviously did not notice him, a foreigner, and did not have time to greet him. They chased after him and ran away.
"Xiao Jie, wait for me …"
A voice attracted his attention.
He turned around and saw a delicate and pretty little girl running past him in a huff.
In front of her, a little boy who was about her height was waiting for her.
"Hurry up!"
"You're running so fast. How can I keep up?"
"You're running too slow."
"We just finished eating. Don't run so fast!"
"Okay."
Hand in hand, the two boys ran off again.
Gong Shaoying's gaze was deeply attracted by the two children. He watched as they ran further and further away. Then, he chased after them a few steps closer.
"Run slower."
He heard a woman worriedly calling out to them.
The voice came from the window in front.
He carefully went from the backyard to the front.
For the residents of this neighborhood, the courtyard facing south was the main entrance, and the back was the back door.
There was an open window at the back door.
A woman was sitting by the bed, holding her chin as she watched the two children run further and further away. Helpless, she sat down by the window.
From his angle, he finally saw clearly — it was her …
The person who had waited for him all his life, the person he had missed all his life …
"Qingcheng …"
Gong Shaoying felt his voice tremble.
His voice was so low that the woman obviously did not notice him. Instead, she looked in another direction, not knowing what she was waiting for.
Perhaps, others would never be able to understand what it felt like for her to just wait by the window.
What was it like to use all your strength to wait for someone?
Uneasiness …
Fear …
Lost …
Struggle …
All kinds of emotions were mixed up.
Gong Shaoying could not help but mutter, "Qingcheng …"
He walked towards the window.
It wasn't until he got closer and closer that the girl in the window inadvertently glanced over and caught sight of him. Her eyes were fiercely startled.
She saw him.
Gong Shaoying stopped in his tracks and took a deep breath. He pursed his lips, but he could not hold back his tears any longer.
After brewing in his throat for a while, he finally spat out a mouthful of turbid air.
His eyes were red as he looked at her. His heart was filled with longing.
"It's me …"
He spoke in a hoarse voice.
The woman stood up abruptly and pushed open the window.
