Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1654: Chapter 1656: That Man

Cheng Cheng paid no attention to the children who had been secretly watching them, leading them through several turns until they reached a slope.

On the slope was a layer of stone, with a shabby bungalow behind it. The wall appeared to have several different shades, repaired with lime and cement after cracks.

The roof tiles were black, and even had a few clumps of grass growing on them, with some light purple wildflowers in bloom.

”We’ve arrived,” Cheng Cheng said, taking the lead towards the house.

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian exchanged a glance.

”Can you do it?” Meng Xinian asked in a soft voice.

Chiang Xiao took a deep breath and nodded.

Why not? What’s not possible?

Was she really scared to meet even one person?

Having gone through so much, even having faced death, what was there to fear?

She was just a bit nervous.

She was merely guessing Ah Liu’s reaction and attitude.

Cheng Cheng had already reached the door, which was ajar. The door gods painted on it had been blurred by wind and rain, almost invisible. The two door rings on the wooden door had been worn down to a shiny black.

He stood at the door, looked back at Chiang Xiao, and gently pushed the door open.

”Godfather, it’s Ah Cheng. I’ve come back.”

Cheng Cheng called out to the inside.

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian stood at the door, looking inside.

Inside was a small courtyard, very small, just a corner of space, with a sandy ground and nothing planted, just some miscellaneous items piled in the corner.

Under the eaves inside was a somewhat broken bamboo chair, and at that moment, someone was sitting on the bamboo chair, with their head lowered, crafting something in their hands.

The person sat there, with the afternoon sunlight shining on them, looking very tranquil.

The person wore a white shirt and black pants, and appeared to be thin, but had long legs. Because of sitting on the rather low bamboo chair, the legs seemed almost too long to find a place to rest.

In their hands was a bamboo tube, onto which they were meticulously wrapping thin bamboo strips.

Their hands were very beautiful, slender with distinct joints, nails glistening with a rounded brightness in the sunlight, very clean.

Like hands meant for playing the piano.

Just by looking at these hands, it was impossible to gauge their age.

Upon hearing Cheng Cheng’s voice, the person slowly raised their head, looking towards them.

At that moment, it felt like a century had passed in an instant.

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian both gazed at that face, unable to find any words to describe their current emotions.

If a man could be described as beautiful, then the man before them was definitely beautiful!

Though there were slight fine lines at the corner of his eyes, and his gaze was so calm it lacked youthful vitality, as if filled with water filtered by time, he was truly beautiful.

Moreover, on him, the word ’beautiful’ used for a man bore no semblance of femininity, purely describing his features and face.

Of course, if using a more appropriate term, perhaps ’handsome’ would suit.

This was indeed a very handsome man.

Also, honestly quite young, really young.

Though Cheng Cheng mentioned that he was already thirty-five or thirty-six, if you overlooked his fine eye wrinkles and serene gaze, he appeared to be merely around thirty.

These may not be the main points, not at all.

The main point was, when Chiang Xiao saw him, it was as if she saw a somewhat masculine version of herself!

They looked so much alike!

Not merely three or four parts resembling a portrait, but a solid six or seven parts likeness!
