silence.

The Bai family didn't speak, and neither did the base director.

Leng Yebai seemed to realize something, a flash of loneliness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Can I see her photo?" Leng Yebai asked one word at a time.

"OK, alright."

The base commander hurriedly took out an old pocket watch from his arms, carefully held the pocket watch and placed it in Leng Yebai's hand.

Leng Yebai felt something warm being put into his hand. He looked down and saw a pocket watch with paint rubbed off the surface.

The pocket watch looked very old and still carried the body temperature of the middle-aged man. The sound of the hands inside could no longer be heard.

Leng Yebai gently pressed the button to open the pocket watch, but the pocket watch did not pop open and there was no response.

Only then did Leng Yebai notice that the button of the pocket watch had been pressed countless times, and the raised button on it no longer had any elasticity.

Leng Yebai could only carefully open the pocket watch with his hands.

Leng Yebai quietly looked at the thumb-sized pocket watch, which contained a small photo.

Time has left traces on this photo. The man in it looks like him, but is not him.

Next to that man, sat a gentle woman, whose pink cheongsam made her even more intellectually beautiful.

You can't tell that this is the mother of a child at all, but more like an elegant young lady.

Leng Yebai looked at her arms. She was holding a baby in her arms. The photo looked a little blurry.

He still recognized it at a glance. This baby was his childhood self.

The orphanage does not have much childlike charm, but it still takes photos of the children every year.

The purpose of taking photos is to show the couples who come to adopt, so that they can choose their future children.

Leng Yebai's appearance is very superior. I don't know how many couples have taken a fancy to him, but they all gave up after seeing his behavior that was inconsistent with his age.

I'm afraid I might meet an autistic child.

Leng Yebai had seen the photo of the day he was just thrown into the orphanage. He only had a sheet on his body, his face was not good, but his facial features were exactly the same as the baby in the photo.

The only difference is,

The baby in the arms of the woman in pink cheongsam has a rosy complexion and looks well-raised.

When he was thrown at the door of the orphanage that day, he almost froze to death and starved to death. His face was pale and his cry was very weak.

Leng Yebai gently rubbed the photo with his fingers.

A photo from twenty-six years ago made him think a lot.

They seemed to be taking good care of the baby, and it didn't look like they had intentionally abandoned him in an orphanage.

If, if he lived in such a family, would he not be so lonely as a child?

Leng Yebai looked at the photo for a long time, so long that his eyes began to feel sour.

"How did she die?"

Leng Yebai closed the pocket watch and put it in the base commander's hand.

"I got sick from overwork." The base director only said four words.

Judging from the photos, you can tell that this family's life is very privileged, and they are definitely not the daughters of ordinary families.

The woman in pink cheongsam has fair fingers and does not look like she knows how to work.

How could it be possible to describe being sick from overwork to such a woman?

I think it was because I lost my child and became depressed and ill.

Leng Yebai didn't say anything, and retracted his gaze from the pocket watch. He just sat next to Bai Xilu and continued to play with Bai Xilu's fingers.

This time, Bai Xirong felt Leng Yebai's fingers tremble a little.

There was another moment of silence.

"What else do you want to know?"

The base commander held the pocket watch with his fingers, and his body slumped slightly. The base commander, who was extremely powerful outside, was helpless at this moment.

He saw Leng Yebai's reaction when he looked at the photo, and he became more and more convinced that Leng Yebai was his son.

But, will he admit it?

What qualifications does he have to force him to recognize himself?

If it is born but not nourished, a broken finger can be returned.

It was his mother who worked hard to conceive for ten months and gave birth to him, but he didn't make any effort and lost the child because of his so-called brother.

The head of the base moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything anymore.

"I don't want to know anything." Leng Yebai raised his head and glanced at the base commander, his eyes full of indifference.

He already knew everything he wanted to know.

I saw everything I wanted to see.

There is regret, but it is much better than before when I didn’t know anything.

The base commander rubbed his pocket watch with his fingers and remembered the past again.

His gentle wife was depressed every day because of the loss of her child. She looked for her child every day, but she could never find her.

What impressed him most was the child's birthday every year.

His wife said that her son must not know when his birthday is, and no one told him how sad he must be...

So they celebrate their children's birthdays every year. Even if he is the only one left, he will celebrate his children's birthdays.

Because no one else knows the child's birthday except them.

"Your birthday is..."

As soon as the base commander opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Leng Yebai.

"I didn't know you before, how could you know my birthday? I don't even know my birthday."

There was a hint of mania in Leng Yebai's voice.

The base commander's voice stopped suddenly, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

After all, he still didn't want to admit it.

Bai Xirui stretched out her hand and patted Leng Yebai's shoulder gently, comforting Leng Yebai.

Leng Yebai is not a pretentious person. If his biological parents lost Leng Yebai in an accident and searched for him for so many years, he would at most say a few unpleasant words in a cold-hearted manner, but he would eventually recognize him.

Bai Xirong glanced at the pocket watch in the base commander's hand.

She understood that in Leng Yebai's heart, if he denied it, it meant that his parents had someone else, and maybe his mother was still alive.

There is still a glimmer of hope.

The base commander looked up at the facial features between his eyebrows that were similar to those between him and his wife, and sighed inaudibly.

After a while, the base director finally said it.

"On November 25 of the lunar calendar, the first snow of the year happened to fall that night. It was beautiful. We originally named the child Yingxue."

There was a faint smile on the face of the base director, as if he had returned to that night, when he was waiting for the birth of his first and only child in the heavy snow.

"It sounds like a girl's name, it doesn't sound good." Leng Yebai said with a cold face.

The base director smiled softly and said, "My wife took it from me."

His wife naively thought that she would give birth to a beautiful girl, but unexpectedly she gave birth to a beautiful son.

They are all beautiful children anyway, so just call Yingxue Yingxue!

After all, a child can't speak, so he can't object to whatever you call him.

Unexpectedly, when the child became self-aware and heard this name for the first time, it was already twenty-six years later.

"This name looks like a girl's!" Bai Yifan looked up from the book and interjected.

Just thinking about Brother Leng's handsome face called Yingxue makes me... want to laugh.

"If you have an option, you can call it Tiezhu." The base director said seriously.

He chose this name because he felt that if he really gave birth to a son, it would be a bit inappropriate to call him Yingxue.

"Your child is so miserable!" Leng Yebai still had a cold face.

The base director scratched his head and thought that the name Tiezhu was okay. It sounded very powerful upon hearing it!
