Chapter 2803: It is all dad’s fault.

He clenched his fist and hit his forehead. He said to an an apologetically,””I’m sorry, Anan. It’s all my fault. Not only did I not bring mommy back to live with us, but I also almost forgot your birthday. You want to spend your birthday with mommy and daddy this year, don’t you?”

The man gently asked her. The woman seemed to be very happy that he had guessed her thoughts, and her eyes actually revealed a trace of joy.

Ji Ziming looked at the photo of him and PEI GE on the bed, and an an’s eyes followed his gaze.

The man had forced her to take that photo not long after their relationship was confirmed. Although her expression was unnatural in the photo, it did not affect her innocence and beauty.

He released her from his embrace and brought the photo to her. Looking at it, he said,””Anan, I miss mommy too. Don’t worry, Grandpa will help Daddy and Anan bring mommy back to our side soon. We’ll be back in two days and we’ll prepare to meet mommy together, okay?”

An an did not say a word and merely stared at the photo in his hand in a daze. Unconsciously, he reached out to touch the woman in the photo and mumbled,””Mother!”

Ji Ziming’s heart felt like it was bleeding when he heard that. He closed his eyes tightly again and pulled an an into his arms. That night, it was the first time an an was willing to let the man hug her to sleep since she fell sick.

It was not like a night in Florence, where everything came to a beautiful end.

When the sun was about to rise in the dilapidated temple where they were staying, the muffled sound of a man crying could be heard from the room opposite.

This time, PEI GE and Wen Xin heard it at almost the same time, and they jolted awake from their beds.

This was because the crying wasn’t as intermittent as before, and it could be clearly heard in the quiet morning.

“Sister Pei Pei … You … You heard it too, didn’t you?” Wen Xin’s voice was filled with fear.

PEI GE, who had experienced a lot, was not as flustered as Wen Xin.””Yes, this time the crying is even clearer. I think it should be that quiet boy, but … Why is he crying?”

With doubt and fear, the two fumbled their way out of bed and switched on the lights.

As the swelling had not subsided, PEI GE could only walk out of the room with Wen Xin’s help.

He lifted the curtain and looked at the opposite room. As expected, the light was still on, and a plaintive cry came from the room through the curtain.

Hearing the muffled sobs, Wen Xin’s hand, which was originally supporting PEI GE’s arm, tightened into hers.

After standing outside for a while, she could no longer hold back her curiosity and moved to open the curtain to see what was going on.

Wen Xin hurriedly stopped her.”Hey, sister Peipei. Your foot hasn’t recovered yet. Let me go in and take a look.” If something really happened, you should quickly run out and ask for help. It’s almost dawn anyway. ”

After Wen Xin finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the sky in the courtyard, which was slightly brighter than the fish belly white.

“No!” She rejected him firmly.”We came here together, so of course we have to leave together.” Besides, I don’t think that guy is a bad person. If you’re really scared, you can wait for me outside. ”

Hearing this, Wen Xin immediately frowned, obviously unwilling to do so.

“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.” PEI GE had already made up her mind. She patted Wen Xin’s hand, then released her from her arm.

Seeing her pull open the curtain and enter, Wen Xin’s heart began to beat rapidly. She could only pray that she would not encounter any danger, or else …

Although he could shout and kill, he was not confident that he could carry her down the mountain for such a long distance.

PEI GE entered the house and saw that it was similarly decorated in a simple manner.

The person in the room did not seem to notice her entry as he continued to sob.

She passed by an exquisitely carved screen, which was the source of the crying.

She gently knocked on the screen and asked,””Um … Sir, it’s almost daybreak. We’ve disturbed you last night and came to ask for your resignation. However, I heard crying coming from your room and wanted to ask if you guys were in trouble. Is there anything we can help you with?”

The crying immediately stopped, but the boy did not say anything.

Sure enough, it was a boy crying, and this confirmed her suspicion. She continued,””Are you alright?”

Just as she was about to push open the screen to see what was going on, the man suddenly said,””If you’re going down the mountain, please help yourself. It’s not convenient for me to send you off. Also, my crying might have scared you, please understand. ”

“It’s fine, Sir. “She did not mind. We’ve disturbed you. By the way, if I may ask, Sir, you’re crying so sadly. Is there something wrong with the host? If you tell us, we can help you. In this deep mountain forest, if you really want to help, it’s not easy to find someone, right?”

The boy did not say anything else.

‘Is it convenient for me to come in and visit the old host? I haven’t greeted him yet. Before we leave, we also want to say ‘thank you’ to him. ”

Her tone was sincere, and the man did not reject her this time.””You … You can come in then.”

PEI GE could roughly guess that the old host was just as Wen Xin had said-he was old and not in good health. However, she did not expect to be shocked by the scene before her!

Just as Wen Xin had said, the old Abbot had a kind expression on his face, but his face was pale. His eyes were closed, and he was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his hands crossed. He was in a meditative posture that monks were used to.

As for the boy from last night, he was kneeling about a meter away from the bed. His eyes were red from crying and his face was solemn.

From the looks of it, he had been kneeling for the entire night.

Although she was surprised, she still pretended to be calm and asked,””The old host, he …” A look of disbelief surfaced on her face.

Seeing her like this, the boy bit his bloodless lips and said,””As you can see, the old Abbot has passed away … Not long ago …”

With that, the boy began to cry again.

PEI GE did not expect the old host’s situation to be like this, so she did not think much about it. Even though her legs were not well, she still knelt down, put her hands together, and kowtowed three times.
