After all, her parents had passed away, so they came to live in her home. However, it made her feel very uncomfortable, and in the end, because of her wife's ridicule, she just ran away from home. Although she really wanted to help her, all the money was kept by her wife, and there was no way for her to say these words to her, so she felt that it was against her will, not because she was busy with her work, but because she didn't have enough strength.

It's nothing. Uncle, I live quite well outside by myself, and the work I do now can support me, so I don't need your help anymore. Today, I came here just to retrieve my things from the past.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a few years, and didn't think that he would have a lot more white hair on his head. In fact, I know what his difficulties are, and in this family, it's actually my aunt who has the final say in everything, even though he looks like the head of the family, but he's actually especially afraid of my aunt. Furthermore, when he lives here, I can already feel that my aunt doesn't leave him any face even when he's in front of outsiders.

Sometimes, he also wanted to protect himself, but as long as his aunt looked at him, he wouldn't dare to do anything. Although he had complained at times, thinking that he was too weak, everyone had their own thoughts. Not to mention that she was his elder and didn't want to say anything to him.

"Of course you can, come in quickly. It's almost noon, do you want to stay for a meal before leaving? We haven't seen each other in such a long time, let's get together!"

Hearing that, Xia Xianghai quickly opened the door and let Xia Yitong in, then brought her to the living room, feeling that he could stay and eat with her, after all, it had been a long time since they last met. Even if Ming Mei hated his more, it had already been so long, so what's more, she was just a child, there was no need to bother about it.

"No need. Uncle, I still have things to do, so I'll have to leave as soon as I'm done. Let's get together next time!"

If he stayed and really ate with them, and his aunt would probably hate him to death. Furthermore, with his current relationship with the two of them, how could he possibly sit at the same table and eat together with them, even if they did not tell their uncle about this matter, they would have already broken off their relationship. How could they even eat together?

"Alright, you are busy with work now, so I can't save you anymore. When are you going to find a time to call you over to our house? We can have another meal together!"

Hearing Xia Yitong's rejection, Xia Xianghai also felt that it was fine. In fact, if she really chose to stay for dinner, he would still have to persuade his for a while longer on Ming Mei's side.

"Then uncle, the things in my room haven't been touched, right? Are you still saying that there's someone living here now?"

Lifting her head to take a look at the small room that belonged to him, Xia Yitong asked uncertainly. After all, he had left for so many years, but she didn't even know what changes had occurred inside, much less whether someone had gone to live in there. If that was the case, then who knew if the things she had left behind in the past were still there.

"Don't worry, after you left, no one went to your room. This is just a servant going in to clean up, so everything should still be there. Go take a look!"

Seeing her worried expression, Xia Xianghai comforted her. After all, ever since she had left the room, Ming Mei had said that it was rather unlucky inside, so no one had touched those things and Ming Mei had disdained to enter them. Of course, he would not tell Xia Yitong these things.

He also knew why Ming Mei hated Xia Yitong so much, but he always felt that she was just a child, there was no need for him to treat her so harshly. Furthermore, her parents were already missing, and her background was rather pitiful, there was simply no need for him to do so. However, he sometimes didn't even understand women's thoughts at all.

"Alright, thank you uncle. I'll go up and take a look first!"

Hearing that her own room had not been touched by anyone, and that no one lived inside, Xia Yitong finally relaxed. After all, some things were left behind because she was too angry, and if she lost them, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

After speaking, Xia Yitong quickly walked upstairs, looked at the room that she had lived in for a very long time, and gently twisted her hand before walking in.

When he opened the door, it was indeed very clean. Just like what his uncle said, there should be a servant cleaning it every day, and the furnishings inside were exactly the same as when he left, it was really untouched by anyone else. Looking at everything in front of him, some old sheets, pink curtains, and that small toy, they were all things he used to use when he was young.

Looking at all of this, Xia Yitong felt as if she had just returned to the feeling she had when she was young. Her eyes were slightly red as she slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at the small music case placed on the bedside table.

When he was young, he would often listen to music before falling asleep. This was also a birthday present from his parents, where the princess held a magic wand in her hand, and when she lightly pressed the button, it would spin, emitting melodious music. In the past, when his parents had just died, he would hug it everyday, reminiscing about the past.

Looking at it now, it was very old. The design looked very cheap, like junk. It could be casually thrown away by others, but in his eyes, it seemed very precious.

He gently picked up the music box and turned the button. Unexpectedly, it didn't break and the melodious music started playing again, as if it was his childhood. Countless nights, and this music had always accompanied him to sleep.
