Chu Yue's heart tightened when she heard this and her breathing stopped suddenly.

Along with it came the strength on her arms. Fang Xiuli was extremely helpless, and the only person she chose to rely on was Chu Yue. After holding Chu Yue, she never let go.

Nervous, trembling, fear...

It became concrete on Fang Xiuli's pale face and her trembling hands.

Both children were missing.

At this moment, the ones who could best understand each other's feelings were Chu Yue and Fang Xiuli, because they were both mothers who had lost their children.

"She's gone... Rourou is gone... How could she be gone..."

Fang Xiuli was completely panicked. She was so nervous that she couldn't even cry. She just stared blankly and her whole body trembled slightly.

Chu Yue said quickly, "The matter has not been concluded yet, we can't panic. Fang Xiuli, don't scare yourself, Yuanbao and Rourou might have gone out to play somewhere, let's look for them quickly. Where's Dazhuang? Have you looked for Chen Dazhuang? The three of them often play together."

"Da Zhuang... yes, there is Da Zhuang..." Fang Xiuli was stunned. She realized belatedly and just remembered that there was another Chen Da Zhuang.

Because Tan Rourou rarely mentioned Chen Dazhuang at home, Fang Xiuli almost forgot about the little fat boy who was cheerful all day long.

When Chu Yue saw Fang Xiuli's reaction, she knew that she had gone to see Chen Dazhuang.

She immediately looked up at Lu Zhanlin, "Zhanlin, Xiuli and I will go to visit Sister Chen's house."

Lu Zhanlin said quickly, "I'll go to school again. They might still be on their way back."

Chu Yue had the same idea. She searched carefully again at the place where Lu Yuanbao and Tan Rourou returned. The child might not be lost. Perhaps he just wasted some time playing on the way.

If you're lucky, you'll find it in no time.

If you're unlucky...

Chu Yue glanced at the sky. It was almost dark. If she couldn't find the child, the search would only become more difficult.

They must hurry now.

"Okay, let's split up and come back to meet up if we find the child!"

"Well, don't worry about it. The kids will be fine."

Lu Zhanlin looked at Chu Yue with his dark eyes. When Fang Xiuli was at a loss and Chu Yue was calm and collected, he still noticed Chu Yue's panic and worry.

There's just no time to waste.

After leaving a word, Lu Zhanlin turned around and strode away, rushing out.

Chu Yue turned around and pulled Fang Xiuli, "Fang Xiuli, come with me, let's go find Sister Chen!"

Fang Xiuli was pulled hard, and she seemed to come back to her senses from the great fear, especially - it was no longer her who was holding Chu Yue, but Chu Yue who was holding her hand instead.

The two were once enemies who were at loggerheads with each other.

When she was most helpless and panicked, Chu Yue actually held her hand so tightly, transmitting endless warmth from her palm.

Perhaps influenced by Chu Yue, or perhaps because she felt she had someone to rely on, Fang Xiuli was no longer as panic-stricken as she was at the beginning.

Chen Fengying's house was easy to find, and Chu Yue walked there in no time.

"Sister Chen! Sister Chen! Sister Fengying!" Chu Yue shouted loudly to Chen Fengying outside the door.

“Hey, here I come—”

Chen Fengying's voice came from the house, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

She was cooking in the house, holding a spatula in her hand and wearing an apron around her waist. Because she heard Chu Yue shouting anxiously, she didn't even put down the spatula.

She pulled up her apron to wipe her hands and said, "Sister Chu, what's wrong?"

When Chu Yue saw the person, she immediately asked, "Sister Chen, where is your Da Zhuang? Is Da Zhuang back?"

"He's back. He came back half an hour ago. He couldn't stay at home, so he went out to play again. You don't even know that he didn't even do his homework. It really pissed me off—"

"Mrs. Chen, where is Dazhuang? Where is he now?"

Chu Yue couldn't waste time on Chen Fengying's nagging, so she interrupted Chen Fengying and asked about the key points.

Fang Xiuli, who was standing by, was so nervous that her heart almost stopped beating. She listened to them talking without daring to move.

At this moment, a childish voice came from behind them.

"Aunt Chu, are you looking for me?"

Chu Yue and Fang Xiuli turned around at the same time and saw Chen Dazhuang coming back covered in sand and dirt.

Fang Xiuli didn't mind Chen Dazhuang's dirtiness at all. She rushed over immediately, grabbed Chen Dazhuang's shoulders tightly with both hands, and asked nervously, "Dazhuang, where is Rourou? Have you seen Rourou? Is Rourou with you? Did she come back from school with you guys?"

Chen Dazhuang was startled by Fang Xiuli's sudden action.

In addition, he was usually a little afraid of the arrogant Fang Xiuli. Now Fang Xiuli came so close to him and spoke to him in a sharp voice, which frightened Chen Dazhuang so much that he froze in place and couldn't speak. He was in a daze.

"Go ahead, Chen Dazhuang, go ahead and speak..."

Fang Xiuli kept asking.

Seeing this, Chu Yue quickly pulled Fang Xiuli's hand away and pulled Chen Dazhuang in front of her.

Chu Yue first comforted him, "Da Zhuang, don't be afraid. Aunt Chu just wants to ask you a few questions. Just tell me what you know. Did Tan Rourou come back from school with you and Yuan Bao today?"

Chen Dazhuang shook his head and said, "No. Rourou said her mother would pick her up and they were going to the city to eat delicious food, so she didn't go with us after school. She was waiting in the school. Yuanbao and I came back first."

Chu Yue continued to ask, "When was the last time you saw Tan Rourou?"

"School... We were in school all day today... I know Rourou likes chicks, but she was afraid her mother wouldn't agree so she didn't dare to keep one. I secretly hid one in my schoolbag and brought it over to give to her..."

This is a long story.

Early this morning, while Chen Fengying was not paying attention, Chen Dazhuang secretly took out a chick that had just hatched seven days ago from the chicken coop. The chick looked like a light yellow furry ball, and was the most beautiful and lovely time in its life.

He emptied his schoolbag, not even taking his books, and just put the chick inside, holding the schoolbag with both hands.

The little chick kept chirping in the schoolbag. Chen Dazhuang was afraid that Chen Fengying would beat him after finding out, so he shouted to Chen Fengying in the house, "Mom, I'm going to school!"

He ran away.

He met Lu Yuanbao halfway, and the two of them went to school together.

Along the way, Lu Yuanbao heard the chirping sounds of little chickens from Chen Dazhuang and thought he was hallucinating.

"Da Zhuang, why do you make the sound of a chicken?" Lu Yuanbao asked in confusion.

"Because of this!" Chen Dazhuang opened his schoolbag and showed it to Lu Yuanbao, "Shh - don't make noise -"
