Chapter 966: Chapter 958: Be Kind to Yourself

Now that they’ve found the person, they should leave, right? But I don’t know if they’ll take me out with them. He dared to ask before, but with this guy with a stern face around, he’s too afraid to say a word now. He feels this man is as terrifying as those people in prison, though this uncle seems to have a better temper and is kind to him.

He also doesn’t understand why this uncle wants to save such a person. The little boy’s belly is full of questions, but he doesn’t dare to ask. He hasn’t even dared to hope that they’ll really take him out with them.

"Then let’s find a place to stay tonight! We’ll look for Bai Long and your father when it gets light tomorrow," Xiao Yifei said.

A strange expression appeared on Liu Rui’s face, then he paused and said, "Bai Long is my father. Liu Bailong."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He didn’t know what Liu Rui was thinking. Maybe about finally seeing his father, Liu Rui should be happy, right? Xiao Yifei looked at Liu Rui’s face and found it showed no joy or sorrow, as usual.

So Xiao Yifei said, "So Bai Long is his real name, huh? I always thought it was a nickname others gave him. But the name really is impressive; it sounds like a name for a big boss kind of person." Xiao Yifei said this to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"That was the name he changed to later. I saw his household registration once and came across his previous name. It was pretty ordinary, so he probably wanted to pick a simple and easy-to-remember name for himself," Liu Rui said.

Perhaps because he was about to see his father, Liu Rui was a bit emotional. For the first time, he actively talked about his family story. Xiao Yifei felt a bit unaccustomed to this side of Liu Rui, but it was good to open up. There are some things you need to communicate more about with others to feel a bit better at heart.

"Then what about your name? Who gave it to you?" Xiao Yifei asked.

"It should be my grandpa, but I never asked," Liu Rui replied.

"I like your name, it’s beautiful," Xiao Yifei said earnestly. He truly thought Liu Rui’s name sounded good, and the surname was unique. Unlike his name, Xiao Yifei, where the composition of three trees became his name. Clearly, the person who named him took the easy route.

"What is your name?" Xiao Yifei suddenly turned and asked the little boy. They’d known each other since yesterday, yet he didn’t know the boy’s name!

"When my mom was alive, she’d always call me Little Stone. After she died, no one called me by my name anymore. They just called me ’that kid’," the little boy said.

Xiao Yifei thought, what an insensitive question I asked. Little Stone, it seems this child’s mother must have loved him very much, hoping at least for him to survive healthily.

There’s a saying among folk that the more humble a child’s name is, the easier they are to raise. Stone really is something humble. I just hope this little boy can be as resilient as a stone. noveldrama

"It seems your mother really loved you," Xiao Yifei said.

"How do you know? You’ve never met her," the little boy asked.

"I’ve never met her, but I know she must have loved you very much," Xiao Yifei said.

The little boy lowered his head and stopped talking.

The three of them found a sheltered place and made do for the night. It was still quite cold at night. If he’d known he’d experience this kind of life, Xiao Yifei would’ve worn more clothes and eaten more before coming here. Who knows when they can get out of here this time.

Ever since he found Liu Rui and learned Liu Rui’s father is Bai Long, he hasn’t worried about staying in this place forever. Eventually, they will leave. It’s just a question of when.

Liu Rui quickly fell asleep, but no matter how, Xiao Yifei couldn’t fall asleep. He realized over the years he had developed a habit: he only sleeps well in his own bed. Otherwise, even in a five-star hotel, he’d wake up several times and fall asleep late.

Watching Liu Rui already snoring, Xiao Yifei thought, the most annoying people in the world are those who can fall asleep immediately when their head hits the pillow. Those people must be particularly happy. But Liu Rui isn’t happy, Xiao Yifei thought.

"Uncle, will we leave here tomorrow?" Little Stone came over and whispered.

Xiao Yifei thought Little Stone was already asleep, not expecting the child to be awake too.

"Tomorrow we’ll go find Bai Long. Once we find him and your illness is treated, we’ll leave. Why aren’t you asleep yet?" Xiao Yifei said.

"I’m afraid if I fall asleep, you’ll leave me behind," Little Stone said. At this moment, he truly seemed like a twelve-year-old child.

"Uncle promises to take you out, I won’t leave you behind. Sleep early so we’ll have the energy to travel tomorrow!" Xiao Yifei patted his head and said.

Only then did Little Stone return to where he slept and drift off peacefully. But Xiao Yifei still couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning. The ground was already uncomfortable, and in such a place, Xiao Yifei was really worried that if a few people suddenly appeared and took care of them in the middle of the night, they would really have no idea how they died.

Lying on the ground looking at the sky, Xiao Yifei noticed that there were many stars. The night sky was truly beautiful. He didn’t know when was the last time he saw such beautiful stars. When he was little, he and his playmates would run outside after dinner. When they got tired, they’d lie on the ground, and the sky back then was beautiful.

Later, as pollution became more severe, even though his city was a small place, pollution was also quite severe. Since then, Xiao Yifei hadn’t seen such beautiful stars again, or maybe he never had the time to look.

As he got busier, he didn’t have the time to look up and appreciate the beauty until now, in this prison, he once again saw such a beautiful night sky.

This place should be in the mountains, right? A few more kilometers forward, and they’d reach the countryside.

Xiao Yifei thought, when I’m old, I’ll go to a countryside with cultural heritage, buy a little courtyard, keep several dogs, some chickens, plant flowers and grass in the front yard, and plant some fruit trees and vegetables in the back yard. Then every day when the sun rises, I’ll wake up, and in the courtyard, listen to the radio while basking in the sun. At sunset, I’ll go to sleep.

Living a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset every day. Just thinking about it feels pleasant! Xiao Yifei had decided he would retire at sixty and not work a year more.

No one should call his thoughts selfish. Everyone has their own path to choose, like Xiao Yifei’s grandfather, who dedicated his entire life to medicine. That’s certainly a noble choice, devoting his life for the benefit of humanity.
