Chapter 61: Chapter 59: The Promise of Goodbye

"Dad!!!"

The three little ones plunged into Jiang Xiao’s arms.

They had been having so much fun recently that they had forgotten their dad would have to leave sooner or later.

Sun Wei, who was leaning against the doorway, also seemed a bit dazed.

So the day had finally come...

Jiang Xiao patted the heads of the three little girls.

After all, he himself was somewhat reluctant to leave.

"Sob sob sob, Dad, you must remember to think of me."

"I will never forget Dad, and Dad can’t forget us either, Dad, I want a hug."

"Dad, after you leave, we will also take good care of Mom, we definitely won’t make her angry..."

The three of them looked up at Jiang Xiao with tear-filled eyes, crying a river.

This scene made many men in the live stream audience feel choked up.

Shi Shi and the others might be young, but they were so sensible it was heart-wrenching.

They even refrained from uttering words of entreaty, but only asked Jiang Xiao not to forget them...

Sun Wei also came over; she tried to act indifferent and pulled Shi Shi and the others into her arms.

"Stop clinging to Dad, if he wants to leave, let him leave, as if anyone would miss him like that!"

Jiang Xiao wanted to smile, but in the end, he could only manage a bitter laugh.

This Sun Wei, probably still hard-mouthed until death.

All gatherings must come to an end.

Hearing that Jiang Xiao was leaving, Niu Jieshi clicked his tongue.

He had wanted to let Jiang try out the prop he had made, but now he had to go and see him off.

He had no choice but to neatly take care of Meichuan Neiku.

[Chosen Sakura: Meichuan Neiku, challenge (Where’s Dad Dead) failed.]

[Kaidan will descend in 120 seconds, afflicting the city—the city of Fugang for 48 hours.]

Fugang!

One of the three major metropolitan areas outside of Sakura, currently the sixth-largest city by Sakura’s population.

But now, it had sunk into a hellish landscape.

Perhaps it was because Sakura had been disrespectful in the Kaidan live stream, so this Kaidan descent was particularly dangerous!

People living along the coast of Dragon Country could see a frightening red mist enveloping the Sakura skies.

Previously, those not in Kaidan-infested cities could still hear screams and cries coming from the contaminated cities.

But this time, Fugang was unusually quiet.

As if all life had vanished in an instant.

Silent, without a sound...

Kameda Sadaharu had been writing tirelessly for many days and had finally finished all his responsibilities.

When Detective Wang told him that Meichuan Neiku had failed the challenge.

This wretched Sadaharu clapped his hands with glee!

He even felt that coming to Dragon Country might be the most correct decision of his life.

Nevertheless, certain protocols still had to be followed.

Old sayings are often true, aren’t they?

Listening to sad love songs, watching parting dramas~

Suddenly I miss you so much~

Let’s hope Sakura doesn’t judge others by their own standards!

All Sakura could do was rage helplessly!

Even other countries didn’t side with Sakura.

With Jiang the God around, who else could compete?

...

Many villagers had come to Jiang Xiao’s house.

Even though he had severely scammed them before.

But he was indeed the one who dealt with Wang Mei, that crazy woman.

And Niu Jieshi also slowly returned to normal from a pervert.

All these were thanks to Jiang Xiao.

The village secretary led everyone in expressing their gratitude.

Shi Shi and the others all clung tightly to Jiang Xiao’s clothes, hoping to keep him here.

Sun Wei went straight upstairs, or in her words, out of sight, out of mind.

But Jiang Xiao had reason to suspect she had gone up to cry...

Looking at the crowd in front of his house, all faces filled with reluctance to let go.

Jiang Xiao suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, with all your reluctant faces, don’t tell me you’re thinking about taking back the stuff you sent our family after I’ve left?"

Huh?

Villagers: (•’╻’•)꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ

The somber mood was instantly shattered by Jiang Xiao’s joke.

Who on earth are these people!

The village secretary was adamant that no one would be allowed.

Niu Jieshi also said with him around, definitely no one in the village would dare to bully his sister-in-law and three nieces!

Jiang Xiao nodded; he still felt quite relieved.

Had it been any other man assuring him like that, it would have really gotten on his nerves.

By the way, it seemed like little Xin hadn’t come out in days?

Honestly, even though he was about to leave, Jiang Xiao still missed this "unreliable" five-year-old.

Ugh, why does it become harder to let go as the moment of parting approaches?

Here it comes.

Jiang Xiao felt the call from the outside world.

At this moment, his thoughts were the most lucid they had been...

"Wow! Daddy!"

"Daddy, don’t go! Let’s go eat cold noodles with Uncle."

"Daddy... woowoowoowoo, please push the wooden cart and take me for a ride, I beg you, I want to walk with you, woowoowoowoo..."

Sun Wei had also opened the window upstairs.

Jiang Xiao looked up to see Sun Wei’s big eyes red from crying.

"Hey! The poem you recited before, doesn’t it have a second half?"

Jiang Xiao nodded.

"Could you tell me?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head, solely because the remaining lines of the poem were still sad...

"Next time! When I see you again, I’ll tell you the second half!"

Shi Shi and the others were crying oceans, unable to utter a complete sentence.

There was no eerie feeling left at all, just like the weeping of a normal four-year-old child.

The big yellow dog in the courtyard somehow broke free from its tether and ran to the doorway, silently watching Jiang Xiao.

If only Jiang Xiao had paid a bit more attention, he might have noticed some changes in the color of the dog’s eyes...

"There, there, don’t cry, it’s Daddy’s fault for meeting you too soon. Is it okay if I come back next time? I’ll take you all away!"

The three little girls rubbed their swollen eyes and nodded.

"Okay, then, we have to make a pinky promise..."

"Alright, we’ll make a pinky promise."

"Daddy, you mustn’t lie, you must come back next time."

"I definitely won’t lie."

"You mustn’t go find other girls to be your daughters, and boys won’t do either!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you all."

"But when will next time be, Daddy..."

Shi Shi’s question stumped Jiang Xiao.

"I... I, can you give me a little time, please?"

Clever Shi Shi clearly wasn’t buying this evasive answer.

Her little mouth visibly turned down in a pout.

"I... I actually, actually..."

How to answer this question?

Jiang Xiao, normally a nutcase, was strangely sober now...

Is this what parting feels like?

The inner torment suppressed his conditions completely.

It was rare for everyone to see Jiang Xiao like this, looking vexed and fumbling in response to the questions of the three little girls.

People in the comments expressed their sentiments.

[This is Jiang Xiao we’re talking about; to think he’d be silenced by a little girl’s question.]

[Why isn’t he using his famous phrases and neologisms now, nothing to say?]

[Do we need bosses of phrases and neologisms to step in? As long as he doesn’t have an episode, he wouldn’t be at a loss for words.]

[When people meet someone they fancy, they always seem tongue-tied.]

[Young men unaware of the sorrow’s taste, ascend the upper floors, ascend the upper floors; forced to compose about sorrows, yet the taste is now known all too well: wishing to speak again and then stop, wishing to speak again and then stop, only to find the chilling autumn is actually nice!]

What should Jiang Xiao say?

If he said it would take too long, the little girl certainly wouldn’t be happy; if he said soon, even Jiang Xiao himself couldn’t be sure.

"Perhaps, when the sun shines bright, meets a timely rain, admires the bloom of a flower, glimpses the morning mist... Daddy might just appear before you out of the blue!"

Shi Shi frowned, too perfunctory; much too perfunctory!

Don’t think for a second that such poetic language could fool me!

"Shi Shi, come here."

Just as Shi Shi was about to keep questioning, Sun Wei appeared and called the three little girls over.

Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief; if the questioning had continued, he really wouldn’t have known what to do.
