Chapter 175 - 175 168 The Hidden Circumstances of Ah Nas Death

Chapter 175: 168: The Hidden Circumstances of Ah Na’s Death, Changling’s Father (First Update) Chapter 175: 168: The Hidden Circumstances of Ah Na’s Death, Changling’s Father (First Update) Xie Shang returned, but did not see Wen Changling.

“Changling.”

She was not in the yard or the house, Wen Changling’s cellphone was under the pillow, not taken with her. Xie Shang immediately went out to look for her. He did not come across her on the way back by car, so she must not have taken that road.

There was a small path to the left out of the yard. Xie Shang walked up the path into the mountain. The further he went, the more forks in the path there were. It was his first visit to Wind Town and he was not familiar with the area. He chose the path that led upwards as it had signs of trampled undergrowth. He searched while calling out Wen Changling’s name, the sound resonating repeatedly in the quiet mountain.

Halfway up the mountain was a towering tree.

Wen Changling heard Xie Shang’s voice and walked out from behind the tree.

“Xie Shang.”

Xie Shang rushed over, his forehead sweaty, “Where did you go?”

“I felt a bit stifled, just out for a walk.”

Wen Changling had visited the place where Xie Qingze had accidentally fallen off the cliff, the same as before, unchanged.

Extreme anxiety can cause a suffocating feeling. Xie Shang took several deep breaths. His mind had just run through too many worst-case scenarios, leaving him with lingering fear. When he hugged Wen Changling, his fingertips were still trembling slightly.

“Why didn’t you tell me before you went out? What if you got lost?”

Wen Changling’s hands hung by her sides, “I won’t get lost on this road.”

She had walked this road countless times after Ah Na’s death.

Xie Shang touched her hand, which was very cold, like a block of ice, “Why are you so cold?”

“The temperature in the mountains is low.”

Xie Shang took off his coat, dressed her in it, and then helped her put on the hoodie’s hat and tied the strings tight, “Shall we go back?”

“Mm.”

By the time they got home, it was already late.

Xie Shang bought many things they needed and started boiling water in the kitchen. Wen Changling lay on the slate padded with straw, quietly watching the sunset.
