Chapter 365 (Part 2) People in the Dream

"...Dad?"

Standing at the entrance, the little girl with braided pigtails curiously peered into the basement.

"Lin Xingjie, you've finally come."

The man at the table turned around, smiling as he spoke.

There was something odd about his tone, as if he had been waiting for her. However, in fact, today was her first time entering this place.

Previously, Xing Jie only knew that her father would come here almost every day, but she was never clear about what he did, sensing he was always secretive.

Her father's job was different from other people's, as he hardly ever left home to work, so he could always find the time to stay at home with his family.

However, conversely, sometimes he'd lock himself in the basement for the entire day. Lunch was generally brought over by Mom after she had cooked it, and if he hadn't come up by dinner time, Mom would often send her down to call him.
