Chapter 1492 - Great to Have You (52) (1/2)

Long Xiaoxi immediately looked away, feeling as if a million daggers were piercing through her heart.

Recalling the past, she felt as if she had a blissful dream followed by a nightmare.

She stopped dreaming ever since she snapped back into reality at 14 years old.

Every room in the house had been renovated except hers.

Her room was still the same as it used to be when she was a child. It was spick and span and had a familiar aroma.

Long Xiaoxi drew the heavy curtains open to allow the sunlight to enter and light up the entire room. Her room used to belong to Long Wenlun. However, she requested for a swap in the past because the balcony in his room allowed her a clear view of the mansion opposite.

Mei Yangyang brought her her favorite childhood snacks and said, “Hurry and try these. You can’t get these abroad.”

At the sight of the sweet snacks, she said, “Mommy, I haven’t had sugary snacks in a long time.”

“That’s because you can’t get our local specialties overseas.”

Not wishing to be a killjoy, Long Xiaoxi grabbed the snacks and began eating them slowly. The first person she asked about was Zhong Minhe.

“Mother, is Brother Minhe still living with us?”

“No, he moved away with his family a long time ago. However, we still paid for his tuition fees for university. He’s a very grateful child and would visit us during every festive occasion. He would ask about you whenever he visits. I heard that he’s become a voice actor and is working for a television series production unit right now.”

“Do you have his mobile number?” Long Xiaoxi asked.

“Yes.” Mei Yangyang took out her mobile phone and gave her Zhong Minhe’s mobile number. After saving his contact in her mobile phone, Long Xiaoxi proceeded to take a warm shower, change into a fresh set of clothes, and put on some makeup. She then headed downstairs for breakfast with her family.

This was the first time that the family of four was sitting together for a meal, ever since she left home at 14 years old.

She’d had a change of taste and no longer enjoyed eating the dishes that she used to love.

After breakfast, they sat on the couch and chatted with each other. Long Xiaoxi then recounted everything that happened when she was abroad and told them about her living conditions. Although the problems that she had faced were minute and trivial, her parents felt that she had suffered a great ton.

Their conversation lasted throughout the entire morning, leaving Long Xiaoxi with no time to even call Zhong Minhe.

Finally, she found the chance to sneak back into her own room using the excuse of being tired.

Staring at Zhong Minhe’s mobile number, Long Xiaoxi tapped on it and placed the mobile phone beside her ear.

The call went through but no one picked up.

After two more missed calls, Long Xiaoxi deduced that he must be busy at the moment.

She gave it some consideration and decided to look him up.

Long Xiaoxi asked her brother for the address of Zhong Minhe’s workplace. She then put on a rabbit fur beanie, a scarf, and a chestnut-colored coat before leaving the house.

She instructed the chauffeur to send her to Zhong Minhe’s workplace.

Upon arriving at her destination, Long Xiaoxi excused the chauffeur and walked toward the voice-dubbing studio.

“May I ask if Zhong Minhe is in?”

“Brother Zhong is still busy. You are?”

“I’m a friend of his. I tried to call him but he didn’t answer. Could you tell me which room he’s working in?” Long Xiaoxi asked.

“Room 205 on the second floor. You may wait for him outside the door.”

“Alright, thank you very much.” Long Xiaoxi then made her way up the staircase and found room 205.

She had no idea what Zhong Minhe looked like now. Throughout the past nine years that she had been abroad, she cut off all contact with the people in S Nation and did not pay attention to the news about S Nation, for she was afraid that she would be tempted to go home.

She continued to wait quietly outside the door for more than an hour.
