He picked up the photo, only to see a four or five-year-old boy on it, smiling very happily. Beside him was a man in his thirties, with chiseled features, piercing eyes, and a straight posture, handsome and heroic. Upon a closer look, one could find that the man bore some resemblance to Ling Chen.
"Dad..."
Looking at the man in the old photo, Ling Chen's lips curled into a bitter smile.
He had almost forgotten how many years it had been since he last saw his father. Five years? Six years? Or seven? It had been so long that he no longer had any recollection of it.
In his memory, when he was very young, his dad took him away from home and they lived a vagrant life. Later, when he was in his teens and capable of independence, his dad said that he had important things to attend to and left him. Since then, he had never seen his father again and had no idea how he was doing now.
"Ling Chen."
A voice rang out, abruptly interrupting Ling Chen's thoughts.
