Chapter 11: Scum
The classical international profanity blurted out of Lin Xuan’s mouth. She was somewhat shocked at Chen Xi as she could not believe that the Chen Xi in her impression would be able to do something like this.
Suddenly,
she grasped the chicken bone that Nian Nian had spit out and viciously threw it
onto Chen Xi. Ignoring the presence of the people around them, she then
proceeded to berate him, “Why didn’t I discover that you were a scum back in
the University? You can even leave your wife and abandon your daughter? I
really want to f*king hit you with my shoe!”
“I
have a very special reason for leaving, I can’t help it…” Chen Xi weakly
defended himself.
“You
are a f*king grown man. How can you abandon the mother and daughter with just
‘I can’t help it’?”
Lin
Xuan was consumed with rage and when saw that there were no chicken bones left,
she wanted to grab the untouched hamburger and threw it over.
But
at this time, the little kiddo wept and wailed suddenly.
“Don’t
hit my Papa!”
The
little kiddo took hold of Lin Xuan and cried.
There
were at least a hundred diners in the restaurant and the commotion that has
ensued instantaneously captured the attention of everyone.
Lin
Xuan paused for a moment before hugging the little kiddo close to her bosom to
comfort her.
“My
dear be good, don’t cry. Big sis won’t hit your papa anymore. So don’t cry,
okay?”
“Big
sis, don’t bully papa!”
Tears
flowed unceasingly down the little kiddo’s cheeks as she used her small hands
to continuously shake Lin Xuan, determined to stop her from bullying papa.
After
being interrupted by Nian Nian, most of the anger in Lin Xuan’s heart had also
subsided. She then ignored Chen Xi and started to console the little kiddo.
After
some time, the little kiddo had finally stopped weeping but sobs could still be
heard
Seeing
that, Lin Xuan speechlessly grumbled, “Ying Ying gave birth to a good daughter
for you…”
Chen
Xi smiled awkwardly as he reached across the table and wiped off the tears on
Nian Nian’s face with a napkin. He then comforted her, “Nian Nian is a good
girl. Big sis did not bully papa, don’t cry okay? You see, so many people are
looking, they will laugh at you if you cry again.”
Perhaps
it was due to Chen Xi’s effective persuasion, the little kiddo started to calm
down.
Almost
immediately, Nian Nian glared at Lin Xuan with her slightly red and swollen big
eyes. She then forcefully shoved Lin Xuan’s arms away and got over to her
papa’s side by going under the table.
“Papa,
hug!”
The
little kiddo burrowed herself into papa’s chest and then leaned her head onto
the Chen Xi’s shoulder, all without sparing Lin Xuana second glance, evidently
treating her as a bad person
“Damn,
so now I’m the bad guy.”
Lin
Xuan felt somewhat depressed as she glanced at the father and daughter, the
resentment in her heart was difficult to subside.
After
remaining silent for a long time, Lin Xuan then said with a depressed face,
“Ying Ying is a beauty that is well above the common populace, so it is
reasonable that she cannot distinguish a scum… But I have seen through
innumerable amount of guys in the past, how could I not have tell that you too,
are a scum?”
Chen
Xi did not know how he should reply her.
Should
he just tell her that he was struck by lightning which cast him into the
extraterrestrial. He then lived on another planet for 500 years and finally
cultivated to the top, before traversing the universe with his mortal body,only
returning to Earth after countless hardships?
This
is just plain madness ah…
“I
can’t tell you why I left, but I hope that you can believe me. My departure was
really out of my control….”
Chen
Xi sincerely gazed at Lin Xuan.(TN: Is that what love is?”)
Lin
Xuan refused to lose out to him and therefore, the two of them gazed into each
other’s eyes.(TN: So corny but me liek it)
After
god knows how long, Lin Xuan unnaturally shift her eyes with a slight shade of
red on her face. With much reluctance, she said, “Fine then. For the time
being, I will believe you.”
Just
when Chen was about to express his gratitude, Lin Xuan raised her head and
said, “How long did Ying Ying leave for?”
“3
to 4 years.” Chen Xi thought for a while before replying.
Upon
hearing this, Lin Xuan supported her chin and pondered for a while before
frowning, “Several years ago, we contacted each other frequently and would
update each other on our current situation. Then one day, she suddenly changed
her number and I could not contact her again…”
“When
was the last time you contacted her?”
“3
years ago, during Christmas… However, how cruel of her to not tell me that you
two have a child ” Lin Xuan said bitterly.
Upon
thinking that Ying Ying had already left for a long time; He did not even know
her whereabouts and there were now news of her, an immense pain tugged on his
heart.
To
Ying Ying, that was 5 years.
But
for him, it was an entire 500 years!
***
Met
in a hurry, annoyed that the affection is so thin.
In
an instant, the clouds and rain disperse. 。
It
teaches me how to wait and think, which pains me like slicing off flesh
The
only thing I hate, is the broken promises we made before.
Lovesickness,
like the ever howling and pounding rain.
Broken
hearts sat on the fence.
So
so far away, so difficult to pass a message.
This
unhappy feeling of seeing the approaching dusk.
***
“Papa,
you eat.”
At
this time, the little kiddo has already recovered from the previous upheaval.
Hence, she took out a chicken nugget and pass it to Chen Xi.
“Okay.”
Chen
Xi managed to squeeze out a smile and after swallowing the chicken nugget with
much difficulty, he glanced at Lin Xuan continued to ask, “Do you still keep in
touch with other classmates? I remembered that you two were quite close to a
few others in your dormitory. Do you think that anyone of them have contacted
Ying Ying before?”
“I’m
not sure. We still remained in contact after graduation. However, as the years
go by, everyone started their own family and naturally, we seldom remain in
touch anymore.”
Lin
Xuan shook her head as she reminisced about the past.
“Ai…”
Chen
Xi sighed, unsure of what to say.
When
Lin Xuan saw that his somewhat depressed appearance, she started to feel upset.
How
can we exactly find a person out of this boundless sea of people?
After
thinking for a while, Lin Xuan suddenly placed her palm together and said, “It
is impossible for you to blindly look for her while bringing a kid along. What
about this, I will organize a meeting with our close friends next week and ask
if any of them happen to see Ying Ying…”
Lin
Xuan pasued for a while before continuing, “Even if we did not see her, we can
still notify you if we have any information regarding Ying Ying. What do you
think?”
“Okay,
great! Thanks in advance.”
After
hearing the suggestion, Chen Xi could not help but nod in excitement; agreeing
that this idea was not bad.
What
distressed him the most right now was that he had 0 clues.
If
someone could give him a bit of clue, he could definitely find her back, even
if she was at the ends of Earth!
“That’s
all for today then. You give me your number, I’ll contact you by then.”
Upon
hearing this, Chen Xi’s face turned into an embarrassed shade as he promised
himself to buy a basic phone after lunch.
Earth
is not like the Tian Xuan World, it would be extremely inconvenient without a
phone.
Hence,
Chen Xi could only tell her that he lost his phone by accident and asked her
for her number instead.
“You
can even lose a phone when bringing you child out to play?”
Lin
Xuan looked at Chen Xi, speechless. She then took out a pen from her bag and
wrote down her number on the napkin.
“This
is it then. Call me after you buy your phone.”
When
Lin Xuan was about to leave, Chen Xi turned to the little kiddo and said, “Nian
Nian, say bye bye to big sis.”
However,
the little kiddo showed a face of reluctance.
She
pouted her lips and tilted her head to the side, refusing to listen to Chen Xi.
“So
sorry. She is just a kid. I hope you don’t mind…”
Chen
Xi was very awkward.
However,
Lin Xuan gave a casual wave and indifferently said, “It’s fine, I’ll leave
now.”
After
that, she took her leave.
Meanwhile,
Chen Xi also prepared to educate the little kiddo. She must understand that her
previous behavior was not very polite.
But
at this time, the little kiddo turned her head and loudly said to Lin Xuan’s
back, “ Bye bye big sis.”
Furthermore,
she extended her small hands and forcefully waved goodbye.
Lin
Xuan turned to look back and upon seeing her adorable appearance, she could not
help but smiled sweetly and send Nian Nian a flying kiss.
“My
dear is so sweet. Next time, big sis will bring you lots of delicious food. Bye
bye.”
