Chapter 1101 - Some Places Are Meant to Be Kept Away in the Back of Your Mind
“Daddy, is that uncle an awesome hero, like a Marvel superhero?” Ye Xicheng asked, lying on Gu Juexi’s legs. Despite having only one leg and an arm, he fought with those guards for a long time.
“Yes, the uncle is a very awesome hero,” Gu Juexi answered.
“The policies have been revised now. I believe that the country will have better arrangements for these special retired veterans, don’t worry,” Ye Yuwei offered words of comfort.
Gu Juexi felt like a heavy stone was crushing him and it was hard for him to breathe.
“Daddy, Mommy—” Xixi came running from the other side of the resort. She dashed up the stairs, clutched Ye Yuwei’s leg tightly and whined, “Brother doesn’t want to play with me. We were supposed to play hide and seek, but I’d been hiding for so long and he never sought me.”
“I’m going for a walk,” Gu Juexi uttered under his breath. He raised to his feet and went out swiftly.
Ye Yuwei stared at Gu Juexi’s lonely back who slowly walked away from them, and shifted her gaze at her puzzled daughter.
Ye Xicheng gazed at the floor with his downcast eyes, his little brain processing something only known to himself.
“Mommy, why doesn’t he go back?” Suddenly, Ye Xicheng lifted his head and looked at Gu Juexi. Despite his young age, he understood full well what was going on. Uncle Yu and Old Captain had visited his father on several occasions but he refused to return to the military.
