Chapter 938: Chapter 939: The Guardian’s Eye
The rooftop was a triangular slope, but not a steep one.
It was actually paved with glazed tiles.
However, there was a thick layer of straw atop the glazed tiles.
Standing on it felt like standing on a pile of haystacks, and it was not slippery.
Xingxing quickly found a spot and sat on the edge of the eaves.
Then she patted a spot next to her, “Xia Ye, you sit here.”
The three of them sat side by side on the rooftop.
Xia Yangyang sat on the edge.
Although Xia Yangyang felt climbing on the rooftop was somewhat dangerous, she didn’t stop them.
One reason was she didn’t want to spoil the children’s fun.
The other was because Xia Ye, young as he was, seldom did anything so unseemly.
Other parents might have scolded them,
but for Xia Yangyang, it was a pleasant surprise.
Xingxing pointed to the stars in the sky and said, “Look, those are the Big Dipper.”
Xia Yangyang looked up and indeed, the view from up here was very different from below.
The sky was serene, the stars like scattered pieces of silver, twinkling and shifting amidst the constellations.
Though young, Xingxing knew quite a bit about astronomy.
This pleasantly surprised Xia Yangyang.
Xingxing pointed to several stars on the horizon and said, “Auntie Yangyang, you see that brightest star over there? That’s called the Guardian’s Eye. No matter when, no matter where, the person you love the most can see your existence through that star. I think my mom is up there watching me.”
When Xia Yangyang heard the term “Guardian’s Eye,” she was slightly stunned.
Guardian’s Eye, guardian star, why did it sound so familiar?
Her thoughts seemed to drift back more than a decade, to her youngest, most vibrant days.
She was walking with Lu Haotian on the school track.
Lu Haotian suddenly pointed to a star in the sky and said, “Yangyang, you see that star? That’s called the guardian star. It is the eye of a lover. True lovers, no matter where they are, will come together under the guidance of the guardian star. Yangyang, as long as it doesn’t vanish from the sky, my love for you will never fade.”
At the time, Xia Yangyang was quite moved by Lu Haotian’s words.
She thought, where did Lu Haotian come across this fairy tale?
But when she looked up, she saw the mischievous smile at the corner of the boy’s mouth.
Xia Yangyang immediately frowned and said, “You made that up, didn’t you?”
The boy laughed so hard he was bending over backward, “You believed it, didn’t you? Haha, Yangyang, how can you be so naive? You believe anything I say.”
Xia Yangyang chased after to hit him.
Those youthful days, alas, cannot be revisited.
In fact, Xia Yangyang hadn’t thought of Lu Haotian for many years.
But on nights like this, under such a starry sky, a hint of bittersweet youth inadvertently crossed her heart.
Xia Yangyang asked, “Xingxing, who told you about these?”
“My dad, of course.”
Xia Yangyang remembered the old man saying that Xingxing’s dad only came to see her once a year.
She could only think how pitiful the child was.
Even if it were because of physical reasons, having to live here.
But a father only seeing his child once a year was really…
However, Xia Yangyang could also understand that every family had its own helplessness.

Xia Yangyang asked, “Do you miss your dad?”
Xingxing propped her chin with a hand, with a seriously thoughtful expression: “My dad is very busy, and even if he misses me, he can’t be with me every day.”
“And what about your mom?”
Xia Yangyang had heard from people at the Medicine Hut that they had never seen Xingxing’s mother.
Everyone assumed she didn’t have one.
But when Xingxing mentioned the guardian star earlier, it was the first time Xia Yangyang heard Xingxing use the word ‘mom’.
Apparently, she had some concept of a mother.
Suddenly, Xingxing sighed like a grown-up, “I also don’t know where my mom is, I’ve never seen her, but I think she must be somewhere watching me and will surely come find me one day.”
