Kang Chen spoke casually, "Don't worry, it's not my first time on a mission. I might be back the day after tomorrow."
"You kid, don't be so careless."
Kang Chen nodded, "Sure, I'll listen to you. I'm off."
Kang Chen left home as usual.
After he left, the old man's eyes dimmed, "Ah, if that child were still here, he'd be almost three years old by now, right?"
The butler cautiously consoled him, "Master, sometimes fate can't be forced."
The old man nodded, his white hair full of desolation, "Yes, it can't be forced."
He murmured, "That kid mentioned he was going to find Ming Mei a few days ago, how did it suddenly become a mission?"
The butler said, "Maybe the mission is urgent?"
The old man said, "Certainly urgent, otherwise how could he not go to find Ming Mei... and instead go on a mission."
"Don't even know how important it is."
The old man shook his head, "Come, play a round of chess with me."
The butler sat down, "Alright."
