Chapter 918: Going Home_3

“Huh?” Little Dragon Lady tilted her head in confusion, “Why do we have to move?”

“Because this place is going to be demolished.”

“Demolished?” Little Dragon Lady was still puzzled.

“The whole village will be gone, and we all have to move to another place,” Grandma explained.

At that moment, Little Dragon Lady was stunned. Perhaps she finally understood what “demolished” meant.

“So, this place is going to disappear? Why?” Little Dragon Lady didn’t understand why this place had to be demolished. The village was fine. Why would it suddenly disappear?

The big yellow dog and the orange cat that grew up with her, the small river she often took her sister to play by, the lotus pond on the other side of the river, and a large patch of rapeseed flowers.

She and her sister even often took two sticks, pretending the weeds were the “Divine Tree,” playing and messing around, sometimes going home covered in mud and getting their butts whipped by Grandma.

Why, why does this place suddenly have to disappear?

“Because, the city needs to develop. We’re close to Ke University, and actually, over a decade ago, our village was already practically non-existent. Many people have left, and lots of houses are rented to students. This village has long been due for demolition.”

Another older man seemed to sigh as well.

Little Dragon Lady was frozen in place, looking at the yellow dog whose ear seemed to be tugged painfully. She didn’t know why, but she felt sad and reached out to hug the dog’s neck.

When Xue Dili walked into the village, he saw Little Dragon Lady hugging the big yellow dog, walking while seemingly crying. The yellow dog in her arms was whining as if it were about to be suffocated.

Xue Dili: “…”

This unfortunate kid, be gentle. Don’t accidentally strangle the poor dog!

This yellow dog is also Xue Dili’s childhood companion. When Xue Dili was in elementary school, Uncle Li had just raised this puppy, and over the years, while he grew up, this yellow dog seemed to have aged too.

Back when this yellow dog had puppies, Uncle Li offered to give him one, but Xue Dili refused because he was often not at home.

Later on, the dog often played with him and was part of Xue Dili’s entire childhood.

“What’s wrong? Be gentle, don’t strangle the poor dog.” Xue Dili quickly went up and loosened Little Dragon Lady’s grip, and the big yellow dog darted away, probably left with a psychological shadow for the next time it sees Little Dragon Lady.

“Daddy, Daddy, the village is disappearing, and our home is disappearing too…” Little Dragon Lady seemed to have finally found an outlet, hugging Xue Dili and crying.

Xue Dili: “…”

Only after all this did Xue Dili realize the village was going to be demolished.

He had thought it was something else, and it turned out to be just demolition. Xue Dili suddenly had a sweat-drop expression.

He knew for a while that this place was going to be demolished, even when he was small, they talked about demolition, and every now and then, demolition news came. Now he’s an adult, there’s a high traffic mall across the street, and still no demolition notice.

It’s been delayed for a long time.

“Alright, alright, it’s not going to happen so soon. Maybe when you grow up, this place will be demolished,” Xue Dili comforted his child.

Although the demolition notice had come, Xue Dili guessed it would take at least a few more years before any actual construction starts.

A few years later, the little girl might not even like this village anymore, she might even dislike it, Xue Dili thought.

“Alright, alright, it’s okay. It’s just a move, don’t worry, home is always here. As long as Daddy is here, home will always be here,” Xue Dili hurried to comfort his silly big daughter.
