Chapter 891: Chapter 33 The End of the World_2 Chapter 891: Chapter 33 The End of the World_2 Lin Xian asked quietly,
“Did Chu Shanhe tell you?”
Zhao Yingjun nodded,
“I know, it’s about going to study in Russia, right?
To tell the truth, it was quite sudden.”
She turned her head, looking at the world map hanging on the restaurant wall,
“When Chu Shanhe told me, An Qing had already gone to Russia, and I was thinking of sending her off but didn’t get the chance.”
“It’s hard to imagine that Chu Shanhe, who dotes on his daughter so much, would be willing to let her go so far to study abroad.
But I must admit, the art and culture in Russia are quite impressive, and for Chu Anqing, who loves dance and art, it seems to be a good choice.”
“I also sent her messages, but she didn’t reply, probably because she just went there and is busy with her studies.”
…
Indeed that was the case.
Lin Xian had also heard this explanation from the circles of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce.
Like the parents of Zhang Yuqian before, Chu Shanhe didn’t share the bizarre death of his daughter publicly, instead, he made up a plausible excuse to smooth things over.
Zhang Yuqian’s parents thought she had died, so they made up the story of a car accident.

But Chu Shanhe believed his own words and also believed that Chu Anqing had not died, but had disappeared to another place.
So he was still waiting for his daughter to come home, waiting to bring Chu Anqing back.
That was his reason for fabricating the lie about studying abroad.
Lin Xian just wanted to quickly join the Genius Club,
to quickly learn the truth about Millennium Stakes,
to find Chu Anqing faster…
and to allow her, like all girls in the world, to stay by her parents’ side, play with friends, or even today at this dinner table, there should indeed have been a seat for her.
“There’s nothing else that can be done.”
Zhao Yingjun took a sip of water, continuing,
“A daughter will inevitably leave her father and will eventually become a mother; life is just such a cycle.
I am the same, and Yan Qiaoqiao is the same; it is all just a matter of time.”
“People always need to be ready to face departures and to be ready to accept changes in their roles.”
“That’s true,” Lin Xian gathered his thoughts, looking at Yan Qiaoqiao who had just finished a messy plate:
“When are your parents coming back to East Sea?”
He asked,
“Once your parents are back in East Sea and the vacation is over, are you going to send Yan Qiaoqiao back to her hometown?”
“Probably so.”
Zhao Yingjun said casually,
“I do wish that day could come later, though.
I’ve developed a bond with Qiaoqiao over these days…
I would really miss her if she suddenly left.”
Yan Qiaoqiao lifted her head, licking the tomato sauce at the corner of her mouth, looking at Zhao Yingjun,
“One more serving, please.”
“Okay okay…
you really can eat a lot.”
Zhao Yingjun felt that she had changed a lot recently, becoming more soft-hearted and patient.
Indeed, the influence between people is mutual.
Not long afterward,
the three of them were full and got up from the tea restaurant, officially starting to walk the streets.
With Lin Xian joining,
that little group seemed to have a bit more of a festive atmosphere.
Zhao Yingjun and Yan Qiaoqiao walked ahead hand in hand, the curious Yan Qiaoqiao asking questions innocently.
Lin Xian followed behind, holding VV’s leash and restraining the scampering Pomeranian.
It gave a comforting sense of family.
Snap!
When the group and the dog reached the walking street square, a street photographer snapped this harmonious moment with his instant camera.
As the shutter clicked,
a photograph was squeezed out from the bottom of the instant camera, the photographer turned it over and looked at it, very pleased with this masterpiece.
So he placed it in a portable frame, walked up, presented it to Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun:
“Hi!
I am a street photographer, capturing every beautiful candid moment.
If you don’t mind…
please keep this photo!”
Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun looked at the photo.
Indeed,
The shot was excellent.
A trio of good-looking individuals, with high aesthetic value, plus the white spots of the Dandelion Pomeranian enhancing the composition and lighting of the photo, making it near perfect.
“I want to see it too.”
Yan Qiaoqiao tiptoed, trying to get a closer look.
Zhao Yingjun took over the frame directly, thanked the photographer, then handed the frame to Yan Qiaoqiao:
“How does it feel, does it look good?”
Yan Qiaoqiao held the photo with both hands,
“It feels like…
mom and dad.”
“Ah?” “Huh?”
Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian looked at each other, surprised by Yan Qiaoqiao’s sudden golden statement, always so unexpected.
Zhao Yingjun chuckled, rubbing Yan Qiaoqiao’s head,
“What nonsensical things are you saying, Qiaoqiao?”
However,
Yan Qiaoqiao shook her head, her gaze never leaving the warm photo in front of her, she whispered softly,
“[The mom and dad I imagine…
just look like this, exactly like the family shown on TV.]”
Simple child’s words,
yet always capable of touching the heart.
Yan Qiaoqiao didn’t know who her parents were, having never seen her mom and dad, so the joyous family easily seen by other children…
𝑛𝗈𝘃𝗴𝘰.co
for Yan Qiaoqiao, was a longing yet unreachable presence.
She could only imagine being with her parents,
just as shown on TV.
Handsome father and beautiful mother, holding the hands of their cute and well-behaved daughter, walking and laughing on the neon-lit streets.
And it would be even better with a friendly family dog.
Because that’s how it’s shown on TV, there’s always a small or large dog lying next to them, making the family seem especially warm and cozy.
