Chapter 33 (1/2)

Feelings became more important to the elderly. So were they to Huang Jindi.

In the past two weeks, he had felt tired and low-spirited which he disliked. He had worked all his life and wasn't expecting idle later years.

However, the reality was stubborn, even more than the elderly.

Either the deficiency of energy had triggered his eagerness for nature, or the craving for life had made him religious, Huang Jindi started to study Taoism and Buddhism. It was in this kind of mood that he had seen Huang Xuan at the anniversary. An indescribable feeling had seized him that his first-born grandson wasn't as bad as people had rumored. If he had another 20 years, he would have been able to cultivate a perfect successor.

He felt that fear for the future had been his biggest weakness, although others didn't see it in this powerful old man, which had made him content with things as they were and unwilling to reform the decaying and enlarging Huang Family.

Unknowingly, Huang Jindi had seen Huang Xuan as himself. He hoped that his first-born grandson wouldn't follow his bad example and would be able to keep the family going, which only he could.

”Be brave…” Huang Jindi had pinned his hope, the only thing time had been merciful enough to offer him, on Huang Xuan.

There were many flights from China to Brazil. People could take Air France, Lufthansa, or KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to transfer in Europe, South African Airways in Johannesburg, and United Airlines in America, which would require an American Visa. To get Huang Xuan an American visa for some leeway, Zhang Xinyi picked United Airlines, the much dearer one, for him, on the excuse that to transfer in Europe would take too long, which demonstrated her shrewdness.

The flight would take off at 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Huang Xuan looked up at the white clouds. He had taken care of everything: saying farewell to his family and cla.s.smates, leaving the factory to Li Shenggang temporarily, and so on. The base would still be at the factory, but as long as Huang Xuan took the energy chain with him, he would be able to keep in touch with Rolin. With this most important job done, at the moment, all Huang Xuan felt was the sadness to part with his family.

When his mom saw him off, she acted strong, as if her son was going on a tour. Huang Xuan hugged her and said to himself, ”I must come back proudly!”

When the flight became steady, the pa.s.sengers were gestured that they could unbuckle their safety belt. Huang Xuan couldn't wait to take that imposing thing away. Then he looked out of the window while ignoring his father's expression.

Big clouds were floating below the wings of the plane making the blue sky an ornament. Huang Xuan greedily watched these familiar or unfamiliar scenes in his daily life, afraid that he would never see such clouds or blue again after he got off the plane.

”Rolin, are you there?” Although Rolin had promised, Huang Xuan was still worried that he would disappear when he needed him most.
