Back For My Daughter

While Ye Qian was thinking about how he would sort the conditions if they were to leave Earth and ascent to the heavens and the little girls were wondering what delicious sweet or salty snack their grandmas would give them today.

In the Tain Old Age Home.

The old men were lazying around, doing their usual things, like resting, reading newspapers, or books, or talking to each other to spend time, there were also some of the old ladies accompanying them as they played chess and other similar games.

"Ahh, Old fellow, these days have been so boring."

Grandpa Wang almost yelled in frustration while he slumped his head on the table.

"Hmm, I share the feeling Old Wang, the little girl hasn't come to meet us for a few days."

The one sitting next to him nodded and smiled wryly before asking.

"Do you think Qiqi might have forgotten us?"

"PAHH, who do you think Qiqi is, even if she were to forget you old foggie, she won't forget me."

Old Wang snapped at his friend.

Hearing their words, the hall completely fell silent and everyone present let out a sigh.

They all were well aware that this might be true, in fact, almost everyone present in the old age home had been preparing for this, now that Little Qiqi's father was back and her Grandparents had also come to the city, there was no need for the little girl to come and meet them.

Many had already tried to toughen themselves to someday face the reality.

But no matter how much they tried to tell themselves that this was completely alright, they just couldn't accept it.

Being old and having left in a place like this, there were very few things they could indulge themselves in, and even fewer people whom they could really meet with, mostly there were people of their age and there was nothing of an excitement for them.

But the presence of the little girls for these last three years had brought not just life to their seemingly bore old life, but also something that their hearts desired.

Almost all of them had grandchildren, and although they would have calls with them and could see them, having no physical contact with them only made them yearn for someone whom they could love, even more.

And that void was filled by the two girls, and more than half a year ago, Little Jia had stopped coming to them, this left everyone disheartened and some of them had even tears in their eyes.

Although the little girl would come to meet them oftentimes, it wasn't like how it was before when she would stay with them for hours treating them like her real grandparents.

It wasn't wrong to say that the little girl had learned many things from them and since there were so many grandparents, everyone had one or the other great morals to impart to the little girls.

And since Little Qiqi was still there, they easily came over Little Jia's absence.

But now that they thought of Little Qiqi also leaving them, they just couldn't bear to accept it.

Even if they all were happy for the little girl since she now had a complete family and in fact, couldn't ask for a better father than Ye Qian, but a corner of their heart just didn't want the little girl to leave them.

Just when Old Wang was about to sigh as the thought settled in, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Old Wang, children are like little birds, after growing up a bit, it's natural for them to leave the nest and wander the world, even if we want them to have the best life, we can't force them just for our satisfaction."

Grandma Xue smiled as she looked around.

They had their own reasons for making Qiqi be with them, but it also made them feel selfish, and that was the reason why no one said this aloud.

"Sister Xue, do you think we will be able to live without seeing her?" one of the ladies asked as she rested her head on her hands.

"Why can't we, we just need to accept that this was going to happen and it's just that it's happening now."

Grandma Xue nodded, "We all have already gone through this once, and even if Qiqi was there with us back then, this time it will be their memories that will help us."

Saying that she left, walking to the door before saying something.

"Everyone must know that even if there might be a last meeting with them, or if it had already happened, you shouldn't make it seem like one."

With that, she walked away.

But as she did, a drop of tear rolled down her cheek and spattered on the floor, not seen by anyone.

Grandma Xue, it won't be a lie to say that she loved Qiqi and Jia the most of all the others present.

It was because she had lost her family years ago and there was no one she would meet sometimes, have a call.

And the two little girls were like the brightest stars that she held closest to her heart after she had lost her grandchildren years ago.

'I just hope that you will keep meeting us every now and then, even if it's just one or two times a month, it would be more than enough.'

She thought inwardly after she sat on the bench and the next moment she felt as if a small figure was running towards her.

'Ahh, Qiqi, my sweetheart, your grandma Xue made a cake for you today when you coming to get it?'

She muttered while the figure zoomed in even more with a cheerful grin on her lips.

She had been thinking that she was missing the little girl so much that she had started to imagine her running towards her.

But in the next moment, what happened made the tears welling in her eyes continuously fall down.

"Grandma Xue, why are you crying, did Grandpa Wang say you something?"

Only when she felt the soft and warm hand wiping her tears away did she realize that this was her imagination, but the little girl was indeed standing before her.
