My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 417 Feeling Sorry for Xiao Hanzi

"My parents, well, what can I say, they are good people, but they are too obsessed with their careers. As long as they ensure that I am alive, they don't care about anything else."

Li Momo was listening attentively to Li Han's story. It was the first time for her to know about Li Han's growth experience.

When Li Momo heard that it was Li Han who cooked and took care of his parents at home, he felt as if something was pulling at his heart and felt inexplicably distressed.

She recalled that when she was in middle school, she felt that Li Han was different from others, much more independent and steady than other boys, and she was attracted by his temperament. Of course, Li Han's handsomeness was also a big reason.

I slowly wanted to get closer to him, but Li Han at that time looked very cold and kept me at a distance.

At first she thought Li Han had a lover, but later she gradually discovered that Li Han was like this to everyone except the fat man Xu Nian.

But she was very timid at that time and could only muster up the courage to talk to Li Han in the name of studying. However, after getting to know him, she found that he was not as cold as she had imagined, and sometimes he would even tell a joke or two that made her laugh and want to beat someone up.

The girl's heart was completely occupied by Li Han at that time. She didn't know whether this was love or not, but she just enjoyed spending time with Li Han.

They studied together, discussed life together, and enjoyed the future together. However, it was also from that time that she discovered that Li Han had a go-with-the-flow attitude towards the future. At that time, she thought that Li Han was not positive and sunny inside. Now it seems that it was because of family reasons that led to his hermit-like temperament. He was too Buddhist.

After graduating from high school, everyone was admitted to different universities and went their separate ways. She knew that Li Han wanted to go to Nanjing University, and she had secretly made up her mind to go to Nanjing University as well. However, after the college entrance examination results came out, she was far behind Nanjing University, so she had to settle for the second best and go to Wuhan University.

Now she understood that the reason why Li Han went to Nanjing University was most likely for his parents.

After leaving Nanjing, she seemed to have lost contact with Li Han. Li Han basically didn't use QQ or a mobile phone, and had no contact with classmates at all, as if this boy had completely disappeared from her life.

After graduation, she couldn't wait to go back to Nanjing to find Li Han, but her father arranged for her to work in the company. She wanted to find Li Han, but there was no news at all, and she didn't know where he lived.

After working hard for a few years, he started a chain of antique stores. After he started a large-scale acquisition of antique shops, he realized that the person he had been holding back on was actually Li Han!
This made her both happy and surprised. She was happy that she finally found Li Han, but she was surprised that the person she had been looking for with so much difficulty turned out to be the one being forcibly acquired by her own group?

She felt a strange and absurd feeling, as if a flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple.

Having not seen each other for several years, she did not dare to meet Li Han alone. She could only find Xu Nian's contact information in the name of a class reunion and contact him through Xu Nian.

Through Xu Nian, she learned that Li Han had been single and had not found a girlfriend, which made her ecstatic, but Li Han's absence from the class reunion also made her a little sad.

As soon as the class reunion was over, she couldn't wait to ask Xu Nian to take her to meet him. After seeing him again, she found that Li Han was more mature, more handsome, more attractive, and more Buddhist than before.

She was so eager to hold him tightly in her arms as a mascot that she would never let this boy slip away from her hands again.

But now she knew that the reason why Li Han was so Buddhist was probably because of his irresponsible parents.

When I think back to when I was still playing coquettishly in my parents' arms, Li Han had to take care of the family's daily life. Perhaps his childhood was too cold, which led to his non-confrontational character.

Thinking of this, Li Momo felt sad and looked at Li Han with eyes full of heartache.

From now on, I will protect him and give him the warmth of home. "My parents have been studying an old book since I can remember. After I graduated, they handed the store over to me and traveled around the world. But I think their departure may be related to that old book."

Li Han felt thirsty after talking for a while, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. Liu Huazhang was very curious and asked, "What kind of book can fascinate your parents for nearly thirty years?"

"Supplement to the Universal Corridor."

Li Han smiled sheepishly, "Later, when I went to the Nanjing University Library to look for this book, my junior who worked in the library told me that this book had been borrowed by my mother in the 1990s and had not been returned yet.

There is only one copy of "Supplement to the Universal Corridor" in the whole of Nanjing University. I have also asked in other libraries and all the book fairs, but they don't have this book, not even a reprint.

Then it occurred to me that "Supplement to Huanyu Tongqu" was written after "Universal Records of the World" was lost, as a supplement to the remaining fragments of "Universal Records of the World". And "Universal Records of the World" was compiled on the basis of "Records of the Great Ming Dynasty". Therefore, the contents recorded in the supplement should have been recorded in more detail in "Records of the Great Ming Dynasty" and "Universal Records of the World".

This is why I was eager to know what the connection was between the "Great Ming Annals" and the "Universal Annals", and what the contents of the lost volumes were. My parents were almost obsessed with it. "

At this point, Li Han smiled bitterly. "I still don't know where the old couple are. If I hadn't received their calls every New Year, I would have doubted whether they ever existed in this world."

Hearing this, Liu Huazhang fell silent. Li Momo even held Li Han's hand under the table and stroked it gently, trying to soothe Li Han's heart in this way.

Li Han patted her little hands gently and told her that he was fine, but just feeling a little emotional.

After a long while, Liu Huazhang picked up the wine glass and said to Li Han: "Little Li, it's not easy for you. You have lived alone for so many years, but you are not surprised by honor or disgrace, and you are not confused when encountering things. You have honed a good character. You are better than me, an old man. I have to toast you!"

Li Han quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "No, no, old man, you are embarrassing me. It is the younger generation who should toast you."

As he spoke, he pulled Li Momo's hand, indicating that they should toast together. Li Momo felt warm at heart. Was Li Han hinting to him that they were a couple?

She also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Teacher Liu, the two of us toast to you together."

The three of them clinked their glasses together and drank it all. Liu Huazhang said, "Hearing all you said, I am filled with emotion. I will tell you the secret of the Universal Chronicle right now!"

Li Han's expression immediately became serious, "Grandpa, I'm all ears!"

Li Momo also pricked up her ears. She was also extremely curious about what secrets the "Universal Chronicle" had that could fascinate her future parents-in-law so much.

Well, in her heart, Li Han’s parents have been labeled as father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Liu Huazhang nodded, and then said something that shocked the two of them beyond words.

"The Supplement to the Universal Path was written by my ancestors!"
