The small lake was a natural lake that existed before the establishment of the Tiannan University. Eighty years ago, when his previous self, the South Sky School of Teachers was established, a mountain range was converted into a parish and a library was built on top of the mountain range. On the other hand, the small lake that was located underneath the mountain range became a quiet and secluded land.

Normally, the only pavilion on the small lake's shore was a place for lovers to fight for. As long as one of them came here first, no matter if it was a person or two, they would not be disturbed by anyone else. This was because there would often be people who would wait here early for their target to show up.

However, it was still daytime now and there weren't many people in small lake. As Yang Zhi jogged, he only saw a few couples.

When they almost reached the pavilion, Yang Zhi saw a petite girl supporting a pillar from afar. Her two feet had already climbed over the wooden railing and stepped on the stone platform.

It's Xu Ying!

Yang Zhi immediately recognized the little girl!

He could not help but increase his speed, and ran behind the pavilion, afraid that scaring the little girl, Yang Zhi slowly slowed down from afar. When he entered the pavilion, Yang Zhi stopped.

Xu Ying was wearing a dress today, a white floral dress. For some reason, Yang Zhi felt that this color, coupled with the little girl's skinny back and weak voice from the phone, made him feel a little sad. She exhaled a breath of air and shouted towards Xu Ying's back, "Girl!

The little girl's back trembled a little at the shout before she slowly turned around.

A pair of big eyes were flashing with a light like Obsidian, yet it also looked like a deep starry sky. More importantly, the little girl's eyes had turned red, and two clear lines of tears could be seen on her face.

Xu Ying just cried.

Yang Zhi's heart felt as if it was ruthlessly scratched by something, and his heart ached so much that it would kill him!

"Little girl, come down first.

"Yang Zhi walked over with open arms, afraid that the little girl would jump backwards uncontrollably.

Xu Ying was abnormally obedient today as she obediently came down from the stone platform outside the wooden fence. A pair of white stockings and white leather shoes stepped on her little legs.

"Uncle, come and sit with me for a while.

"Her voice is even weaker than on the phone, so much so that it is a little hoarse."

Yang Zhi could not hold it back anymore and stepped forward to hug the little girl.

"With me here, don't cry.

"Yang Zhi comforted her softly.

He held onto Xu Ying's hair, her chin on the forehead that she needed to use, and took a sniff of the little girl's hair, all the way until she was at her side, then pulled the little girl's delicate body into his embrace and wiped her tears, and comforted her softly: "Tell me, Uncle, what happened?

"Just as I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes, the little girl pouted and looked at Yang Zhi. Her eyes were filled with tears.

Her two tender hands grabbing onto Yang Zhi's clothes at his chest, her entire head buried into Yang Zhi's embrace, her face rubbing against her chest, her entire body shivering and trembling, crying like a child.

The little girl did not speak, she was crying non-stop, but no matter how Yang Zhi tried to comfort her, it was useless. He could only bear it silently, holding the little girl in his arms to keep her warm, giving her a port where she could stop when she was tired from crying.

When the cuckoo like wail gradually calmed down, the sky also ignited into a cloud of fire. The little girl was still sobbing a little, and while lying in Yang Zhi's embrace with both hands holding onto Yang Zhi's clothes, she had unknowingly fallen asleep.

Yang Zhi took off his jacket and adjusted his body slightly. With his back leaning against the pillar of the pavilion, he covered the little girl's shivering body with his jacket.

The sky gradually dimmed. Yang Zhi looked at the stars that gradually appeared in the sky, guessing that the reason the little girl was crying like this was because of her family, or maybe it was because of her family.

A bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and around the pavilion, there was only a circle of yellowish old light bulbs burning, giving the couples a little light.

Yang Zhi hugged Xu Ying and sat on the pavilion, but no one came to disturb him. Everyone gave up on the most suitable place for them to meet up already.

Just as Yang Zhi was feeling sleepy after squinting his eyes, the little girl in his arms suddenly moved.

Yang Zhi was immediately spirited, only to see Xu Ying flinch her head, and slip back into Yang Zhi's jacket, falling asleep.

Yang Zhi continued to raise his head and look at the moon, occasionally counting the stars in the sky, and maintaining a movement for a long time was not difficult for Yang Zhi. Previously, when he was training in Africa, he had maintained the same movement for 10 consecutive hours.

Her legs crossed each other as Yang Zhi's thighs. Two small buns pressed down onto Yang Zhi's chest, and the smell on Xu Ying's body was a little like jasmine. The smell lingered in the air, causing Yang Zhi to have some sort of reaction.

[This girl is only 16 years old. I can't believe I still have feelings for her!]

Yang Zhi rubbed his nose, thinking resentfully.

The two small hands suddenly grabbed at Yang Zhi's flesh, causing Yang Zhi to suck in a cold breath.

Looking down, the little girl had finally woken up. Grabbing Yang Zhi's clothes, she lifted up his pale face that was full of tears. Her big eyes looked at Yang Zhi pitifully, her fair face still slightly flushed.

"Little girl, what's wrong?

Tell uncle.

"Yang Zhi hugged Xu Ying's body, allowing her to lie in her embrace more comfortably. She also let that thing of her stay away from her, otherwise, it might cause him to make mistakes later on!

Xu Ying laid in her embrace as she used Yang Zhi's shirt to wipe the tears off his face, causing Yang Zhi's face to be covered in black lines.

After wiping away her tears, Xu Ying laid her head on Yang Zhi's shoulder and said softly: "Uncle, my father has passed away.

"Hmm?

Yang Zhi was startled, then reacted, quietly listening to Xu Ying's story.

Her father was a company employee, her mother ran a shop in a small shop, both her parents had died a long time ago, she did not feel any pressure, nor did she have any relatives or friends. She had an old house from the 1990s, her life could be considered to be well, and Xu Ying had lived carefree until she was twelve years old.

That year, Xu Ying's mother passed away due to illness. The next year, her father had a new wife, and when his stepmother entered the house, she was accompanied by a child. The child's surname changed to Xu.
