Chapter 108: First Time Being Apart (4)  

Li Qingcang entered the room next door and called Ye Tianxin over to him. He said, “Tianxin, I’m going home. This is the phone I prepared for you. My number, and my elder sister’s number, are both saved on it. If anything comes up, give me a call. If you can’t reach me, or if you need anything, call my sister, and she’ll help you.”

They were about to part, and a hint of sadness welled up in Ye Tianxin’s heart.

She suddenly couldn’t bear for him to leave!

“Elder Brother Li, have a safe trip,” Ye Tianxin said. Then, remembering something, she said, “Hang on!”

Li Qingcang stood in the hall and waited for Ye Tianxin.

Ye Tianxin rushed back into the room and came back with a small amulet less than a minute later.

“Elder Brother Li, this is a traditional amulet from the town of Jiameng. It’ll keep you safe. Even though my embroidery skills aren’t that great, this is a small token of my appreciation. I’ll work hard on my embroidery skills and will embroider you an even better one to give you next time we meet.”

There were two coins inside the amulet. Bronze coins would’ve been better.

Bronze coins could ward off evil spirits. However, she hadn’t been able to find real bronze coins, so she’d filled the amulet with regular coins.

“This is already very good.”

Li Qingcang carefully tucked the amulet away.

Then, he stretched out his hand and patted Ye Tianxin’s head.

“Study hard and take care of yourself. Don’t try to take on anything you can’t handle! Got it?”

“Got it!” Ye Tianxin was very upset, but she still lifted her tiny face and smiled brightly at him.

“I’m going to leave now!”

Li Qingcang resolutely turned around and started to leave. Ye Tianxin followed Li Qingcang out the door. Li Xingchen emerged from the other room. She was dressed professionally, and her short hair was tucked neatly behind her ears. She looked fearless.

“Elder Sister Xingchen.”

Li Xingchen walked up to Ye Tianxin and touched her face. “Tianxin,” she said, “you don’t have to worry, even if this little overlord isn’t in the capital. My phone number is saved on your phone. Just give me a call if anything comes up...”

“Thank you, Elder Sister Xingchen,” Ye Tianxin answered obediently.

Li Xingchen thought to herself, ‘If you manage to tame the wild horse of our family, I’ll call you Elder Sister!’

“Oh child, you’re so polite!” Li Xingchen said. Then, she glanced at her oblivious younger brother. He really had a block of wood for brains!

“Then we’ll head off now!”

Ye Tianxin couldn’t bear for Li Qingcang to leave. It was a very odd feeling.

She knew that Li Qingcang was a man with aspirations of his own, and that he would go back to where he belonged one day.

However, she still hoped that he would be able to come back soon... soon...

In the garden downstairs...

Seeing that his wife, Li Xingchen, was holding a travel bag, Xie Xinghe immediately strode forward to take it from her.

“Xinghe, this is Tianxin. Tianxin, This is Elder Brother Xinghe.”

Ye Tianxin looked at Xie Xinghe. His eyes were hard, and he had a scar running down his face. He seemed like a gloomy person.

“Elder Brother Xinghe.” Xie Xinghe nodded in greeting.

Seeing how much Ye Tianxin couldn’t bear for him to leave, Li Qingcang couldn’t help but pat her head. “I’m heading off now!” he said.

“All right! Goodbye, Elder Brother Xinghe. Goodbye, Elder Sister Xingchen. Goodbye, Elder Brother Xinghe!”

The three of them got into the car while Ye Tianxin remained standing where she was. She watched as the sedan disappeared from her sight. It felt as if a part of her heart was missing. It was a heavy feeling, and Ye Tianxin started to feel gloomy.
