Chapter 278: The Miao people

When they returned to the tavern, Le Yao Yao asked the waiter to prepare hot water for her. After taking a bath, Le Yao Yao and Xuan’er got ready for bed.

However, the moment Le Yao Yao recalled tomorrow was her last day with Du Gu, she felt uneasy and fidgety. She tossed and turned for a very long time before she eventually fell asleep.

She had no idea that a tall figure slipped in shortly after she fell into her slumber. He had been waiting for her to sleep before leaping in through the open window.

Leng Jun Yu slowly approached the bed and gazed warmly below him. His eyes landed on a beauty that was wearing a thin, white undergarment. Her long silky hair spread behind her and her face was as beautiful as jade.

Leng Jun Yu’s heart couldn’t help but stir.

She hasn’t changed in these past five years. If anything, she had become more stunning and strong. 

But, why were her brows showing such sadness? Was it because of him? 

Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu frowned and slowly reached his fingers to spread out the crinkled brows.

Perhaps, Le Yao Yao could sense someone next to her. Her eyes began to flutter a little. She looked like she was about to wake up.

Seeing this, Leng Jun Yu immediately put two of his fingers together and struck her acupoint.

Le Yao Yao fell into a deep sleep. Now, Leng Jun Yu could bravely trace her face without any concerns. He opened his mouth and cracked in his raspy voice, “What are you so upset about? You can’t loosen up even when you’re asleep? In the future, I won’t be by your side. Please take good of yourself and our son. It will all depend on you.”

At this moment, Leng Jun Yu slowly brought his finger over her nose and onto her pink lips.

He really wanted to kiss those lips and feel the tenderness and warmth again. But…

“I’m sorry! I am useless and powerless. I have caused you to suffer immensely. I am reluctant to part, but I have no choice. Yao Yao, do you have any idea how much I love you?”

A drop of tear silently landed on the floor. The drop of tear contained hopelessness and despair.

Who says men don’t cry? It’s only because they haven’t gotten to their breaking point! 

“Yao Yao, please forget me. Find another man and give our child a good father. Even if I’m not by your side, at least you’ll have someone who’ll love and cherish you. That way, I’ll be able to feel relieved…”

He was a thousand, ten thousand times unwilling, but what he cannot do, he hoped another man can.

Today happened to be the Miao ethnic group’s monthly gathering. In this gathering, the Miao people would sing and dance around the fire while eating delicious sheepmeat.

Le Yao Yao and her group came at the right time.

Staring at the vast grassland, being surrounded by countless of mountains, and looking up at the clear blue sky made her forget all about her problems. Le Yao Yao inhaled in the fresh air. She no longer wanted to dwell on her sadness. She will cherish her last day with Du Gu and create some long lasting memories.

At this moment, Leng Yi Xuan tugged Le Yao Yao’s hand. “Daddy, this place is so pretty!!!” he exclaimed.

When Leng Yi Xuan saw the fluffy white sheep, he practically leaped into air. “Oh God! Daddy! The sheep are so cute!!!!”

The corners of Le Yao Yao’s mouth curved into a smile. “Yes, the sheep are adorable.”

“Then, Daddy, could Xuan’er go play with the sheep?”

Le Yao Yao felt stuck. She didn’t want to disappoint her son, but the sheeps didn’t belong to them. They couldn’t just play with other people’s animals?!

At this moment, a clear voice rang. “Haha. Little brother, if you want, you may play with the sheeps.”

The group turned towards the voice. Standing close to them was a maiden roughly 13-14 years of age. She wasn’t an exceptional beauty, but still better than average.

While Le Yao Yao was observing her, the maiden was also observing them. Her gaze lingered on Le Yao Yao’s face. When she noticed Le Yao Yao’s watchful gaze, the maiden blushed and lowered her head.

Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was a bit speechless. But, she politely asked, “Little maiden, do these sheep belong to your family?”

“Yes.” the maiden nodded. Then, she placed her fingers in her mouth and blew a whistle.

Suddenly, all the sheep came running back and stood by the maiden. They were very obedient to their master. Now, the sheep began rubbing their noses and foreheads against the maiden’s hand.

Seeing this, Leng Yi Xuan’s eyes lit up. “Woah! So cute!! They’re so cuteeeeee!!!”

“Haha, would you like to touch one?”

“Yeah!” Leng Yi Xuan nodded.

Then, the little maiden took Leng Yi Xuan’s hand and placed it on top of a sheep.

The moment Leng Yi Xuan touched the softness, he began to laugh like bells.

Later on, Le Yao Yao found out that the little maiden’s name was Sai Ya. She also lived with her older sister and parents. This place was their home.

When Sai Ya found out that Le Yao Yao was a tourist, she warmly welcomed them to their gathering tonight.

The rest of the chapter will be posted tomorrow. You’ll have to read this on my site if you want the whole thing.
