Dream Reading

After my daughter died, I decided to divorce my wife, leave the military family compound, and return to my hometown to spend the rest of my life.

On the first day, I wrote the divorce report and had my wife sign her name.

On the fifth day, I packed my luggage and submitted my resignation letter.

On the seventh day, I bought a ticket and boarded the train home.

From today on, you and I are just strangers, with no chance of turning back.

Xu Jingyi accused me of making a fuss, saying our daughter had nothing more than a small cold and would get over it.

But later, when she learned that our daughter had died, she started frantically looking for me like she had gone mad.



Three Days After My Daughter Died, the Wife of the Group Leader Finally Returned Home

As I left the office building and passed by the store, I became somewhat dazed looking at the Barbie doll in the window.


Huanhuan had liked this Barbie doll for a long time.


She always kept a stern face and said that such pretty yet impractical things have no meaning for the child's growth.


Yet now, because Feifei wants it, she spends money without a second thought, even if it means using up half a month's salary to buy a dress, she doesn't complain.


Although Huanhuan is sensible and remains silent, I know she is very envious.


But even so, Huanhuan has never blamed her for being biased.


The next day, I arrived at the Friendship Store entrance with all my savings in my pocket.


Before leaving, I wanted to fulfill this wish for Huanhuan.


The store clerk greeted me warmly: "Oh, isn't this Director Xu's spouse? Here to shop?"


"Director Xu recently came to buy you a belt, and some imported toys. Imported things sure are expensive."


"Your wife really has nothing but good words for you and your child!"


Listening to the clerk, I gave a bitter smile.


Xu Jingyi didn't buy them for me and the daughter; those were bought for her first love and her first love's daughter.


I pointed to the Barbie doll in the window and asked him to wrap it up.


The clerk was somewhat surprised. "Hasn't Director Xu already bought one? Could it be..."


He immediately shut his mouth, and when he looked at me, his eyes were filled with sympathy.


And at that moment, Xu Jingyi came into the store holding a little girl's hand, along with a man.


When she saw me, the smile on her face instantly disappeared without a trace, and she immediately let go of the child's hand.


Noticing that I was watching them, she proactively explained: "Feifei got a little red flower as a reward from the teacher in kindergarten, so I brought her to buy a gift."


While speaking, Xu Jingyi continuously looked at me with nervous eyes.


In usual times, I might have erupted and argued with her, questioning if she ever had me and Huanhuan in her heart.


But now, I just smiled a little: "Hmm, got it."


Xu Jingyi was taken aback, a bit surprised at my calm demeanor today.


After saying this, I turned and walked outside.


"I'm coming home tonight, I'll accompany you to the clinic to see Huanhuan."


I did not respond, simply carried the toy out of her sight, arrived alone at Huanhuan's grave.


I struck a match; the flickering lights swallowed the Barbie doll.


Huanhuan, let this gift carrying Dad's love replace Dad to accompany you.
