It was a pleasant climb up the path my aunt had told me about. The night wind was breezy, cool, and very comfortable. The higher up he went, the more he could clearly see the night scenery of the village. The houses in the village were shrinking, and because the houses in the countryside were far away, one could only see the scattered lights of the night.

At first, Qing Qing was still in the mood to enjoy the different scenery from the city, but when she reached the halfway point, she didn't have the energy to be distracted by other matters.

Although there were many people walking on this path, it was still a mountain road after all. Strange shaped stones and potholes were all essential. The original owner could tell at a glance that this wasn't a person of great sportsmanship. Halfway there, she regretted coming here. She really didn't understand why Qin Le Kang would come here so late at night.

By the time Qing Qing climbed to the top of the mountain, she was already panting from exhaustion. She surveyed her surroundings but did not see any trace of Qin Le Kang. However, there was a small pavilion here that allowed her to rest.

Qing Qing didn't care about anything else as she walked towards the small pavilion and sat down on its stairs, regardless of whether it was dirty or not.

"Why are you here?" Qing Qing had just sat down when she was startled by a sudden voice.

Qing Qing calmed herself down and replied, "I didn't see you earlier, so I came out to find you."

Qin Le Kang remained silent. He stared at Qing Qing for a few seconds before walking over and sitting down beside her.

Qing Qing felt a bit displeased. She had climbed up the mountain with great difficulty in order to find him. Shouldn't he say something to her? From the looks of it, he still wanted her to find something to talk about.

"Why did you come up so late at night?"

"This place was built by my father. He said that all the nearby villagers would pass by here, so he built a small pavilion here. He hoped that everyone that came by would have a place to rest." Qin Le Kang did not answer a clear question. Instead, he recalled the origins of the pavilion.

"Father is truly a very good person. Although I've never seen him before, I've heard my uncle and aunt talk about him with deep emotions and nostalgia."

Qin Le Kang smiled and continued, "Didn't you ask me before, did my parents love each other a lot? They loved each other, especially my mother, who loved so much that she couldn't hold anyone but my father in her eyes. Even a son like me is nothing in his eyes compared to her husband. " "I think my aunts have already told you about my mischief when I was young. When I was young, I couldn't understand why my mother didn't hug and kiss me like other mothers do. She was always very cold to me, and I frequently caused trouble to attract her attention."

Qing Qing didn't expect to have such a mother. No wonder she went crazy after her father died. Qin Guan's father must be everything to her. She did not make any comments and only waited quietly for Qin Le Kang to continue.

'Ding … target's affability level increased by 3, current affability level is 58. '…

"Later on, I realized that no matter what I did, the good and the bad would never arouse the slightest ripple in her heart. Slowly, I learned to ignore them."

Qin Le Kang's eyes turned dim, as if he wasn't talking to himself, but to himself.
