Meng Ke collapsed. As time passed, she cried more violently as if she was venting out all the emotions she had been suppressing for so long. She kept mumbling to herself, begging Qin Feng to divorce her.
Qin Feng got anxious too. Meng Ke was too determined for him to do anything about it. He understood pretty well how disappointed she was, and he also understood that all the promises and beautiful words he once said meant nothing at the moment.
Most importantly, he was worried that if he kept pestering her, she might fall ill. The tragedy would repeat itself in the end.
In the cultivation world, he was the omnipotent Qingyun Immortal, but now, all of his superpowers were gone. Apart from the memories he had, he was no more than an ordinary being.
If Meng Ke's sickness returned, he would have no idea what to do… but he did not want to get divorced either…
"Ke, listen to me. I am back for real, not just beautiful words. I… I will go and find a job now, alright? Please calm down first, please."
Qin Feng clenched his fists. Instead of waiting for Meng Ke's reply, he rushed out of the bathroom, went to his bedroom, and pulled out the drawers under the dust-filled table, groping inside crazily.
The CV, the Graduation Certificate, The ID Card… everything that could be used for an interview was taken out by him and stuffed into one bag. Then he walked out of the bedroom.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Nannan, who was sitting on the sofa, rushed over to him. She took hold of Qin Feng tightly and sobbed. "Daddy, where are you going? Are you leaving me?
"Are you leaving me? Are you making me a fatherless girl?"
Nannan kept shedding tears, and her small body was shivering.
"No, no way!" Qin Feng took hold of Nannan and said bitterly, "Of course, I am with you. I'm just going out to find a job so that I can make money for you to have fun and eat great food.
"Just wait here for me to return, okay?"
He pushed away Nannan softly before walking out of the room. He understood that no matter what he said to Meng Ke, it would not work at the moment. He had to do something first.
He had to do something practical so that Meng Ke could see hope and so that he could get her back.
At the moment, Meng Ke was squatting in the bathroom, crying in despair. Tears had wet her clothes and sleeves.
Qin Feng… why can't you leave us alone?
....
Outside the Sea and Heaven Compound.
Qin Feng was dressed in a gray T-shirt that was losing color after many washes. His mind was blank as he watched the busy vehicles traveling on the street.
He left in a hurry. He had not shaved or brushed his teeth, nor had he combed his hair or got dressed in a proper suit for the interviews.
He couldn't go anywhere except construction sites because he would be turned down at any other place.
He did not dare go back home, worried that his return would irritate Meng Ke. Most importantly, he did not even have a penny with him, let alone getting dressed in a new set of clothes or getting clean-shaved. He could not even afford a blade.
"Construction sites work too! Anything will do as long as I can make money!" Qin Feng soon made up his mind. It was very hot, and the temperature was very high, but nothing could make him change his mind.
To hell with Qingyun Immortal! What he wanted to do right now was to make sure that Meng Ke had some hope in him. He wished to mend the broken family and right his wrongs. He could do anything and sacrifice anything to achieve that.
