It was not far away, just like Gu Ying said. After about ten minutes of driving along the road planted with sycamore across the villa area, they entered a military administrative zone.

Qi Le’an had lived in the villa area for a long time and he didn’t know that there was such an administrative zone.

The soldier standing guard outside seemed to be familiar with Gu Ying’s car and let them in without checking.

Qi Le’an was a little curious and looked around. Gu Ying reminded him, “Don’t look around.”

Qi Le’an, “…” He withdrew his eyes and looked straight ahead.

Gu Ying finally parked his car beside an old house. The building was built in the 1970s or 1980s, integrated with the Western style, and each household had a huge terrace, and many green plants were exposed from the terrace.

Gu Ying said: “Elder Xu.”

Qi Le’an was confused, “?” ? ? ”

Gu Ying had to say it again, “You can just call him Elder Xu when we meet him later.”

Qi Le’an understood and quickly said, “Okay.”

Elder Xu’s house was located on the sixth floor, which was the top of the building. It took Qi Le’an a long and arduous time to finally get there. Gu Ying knocked on the door, which was soon opened by a woman in an apron.

“Hello, Aunt Wang,” said Gu Ying.

Aunt Wang’s hair was a little grey, but it was well-kept. She looked at Qi Le’an behind Gu Ying and smiled, “Elder Xu is in the study.”

Gu Ying nodded and led Qi Le’an into the house.

The room had an old-fashioned tile floor. The two of them changed their shoes and went straight to the study room. At this time, Qi Le’an’s heart pounded and he suddenly felt unreal.

Gu Ying looked at the nervous Qi Le’an and knocked on the door of the study.

“Come in.”

An old but dignified voice was heard. Gu Ying pushed the door open and said: “Elder Xu, I brought him here.”

Qi Le’an looked into the room. The study room was very large and it was filled with books. Elder Xu was sitting in a wheelchair with reading glasses and a book in his hand.

Qi Le’an saw a flash of nostalgia in Elder Xu’s eyes when their eyes meet.

Gu Ying took Qi Le’an in and left, leaving Qi Le’an alone in the house. Elder Xu was a very serious old man, always with a straight face. Qi Le’an was a little afraid. He didn’t know what to say, but after thinking for a moment, he said, “Hello, Elder Xu.”

Elder Xu nodded and put the book on the desk beside him. He pointed at a small stool and said, “Have a seat.”

Only then did Qi Le’an dare to sit down.

After sitting down, he didn’t know what to say again. Qi Le’an had never met someone with such knowledge in his two lifetimes. He could only try to look ahead with a smile and hide his anxiety in his heart.

Thankfully, Elder Xu looked at him for a while and took the initiative to speak, “You’re still a little more like Pingjin.” Pingjin, that was Qi Le’an’s mother’s name.

As he spoke, he turned his wheelchair away from Qi Le’an to look for something on the old-fashioned mahogany desk. After a while, he turned back and handed Qi Le’an a photo.
