With her eyes open, she was faced with a mud-brick house and a strong, rough man. Xia Lan was bewildered.
She discovered she had actually returned to the 1970s, becoming an orphan who had jus...
They will!
Qin Yu took Xia Lan's hand and kissed her cheek.
"Lanlan, you're here!"
A voice interrupted the two. Xia Lan turned around and saw Wang Xiaoling and Zhang Zhen, who were carrying things as they approached.
"Sister Xiaoling, what brings you here?"
When Xia Lan saw Wang Xiaoling, she realized that calling her "sister-in-law" was inappropriate, so she simply called her "Sister Xiaoling."
"I heard from my husband that you guys rescued your friend! That's great news, and besides, we've been good friends all along, how could we not come and check on him!"
Wang Xiaoling looked at Xia Lan happily.
"This...this has really troubled you to spend money!"
Xia Lan looked at the things they were carrying and dared not accept them.
"Don't be so polite with me! This is a local specialty I brought from my hometown, it's not worth much!"
"You guys can take it and have a taste!"
Wang Xiaoling handed the things she was carrying to Qin Yu, and Zhang Zhen quickly handed over the things he was carrying to Qin Yu as well.
"Brother Qin, I also want to thank you for this! You took care of Xiaoling and my son all the way!"
Zhang Zhen said earnestly.
"Please accept these things, otherwise I'll feel really bad..."
Zhang Zhen looked at the two men, hoping they would accept the gift.
"Alright, in that case, we'll accept it!"
Seeing that neither the couple wanted them to return it, Xia Lan decided to accept it.
"But you need to give me your address, I'd like to send you some local specialties from my hometown!"
Xia Lan smiled.
"That sounds great! I want to try it too!"
Wang Xiaoling, arm in arm with Xia Lan, said happily.
Zhang Zhen came to Qin Yu's side.
"Brother Qin, you and our Master Lu..."
Zhang Zhen had just overheard some conversations related to Qin Yu. He thought he had misheard, but then he realized that Qin Yu was the only person in the unit with that name. There was no one else with the same name.
It must be talking about Qin Yu.
"He was my mentor and my adoptive father!"
Qin Yu patted Zhang Zhen on the shoulder.
"If I'm not around in the future, please take good care of him for me!"
Zhang Zhen patted his chest and nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Brother Qin, I'll take good care of him!"
"Thank you!"
Qin Yu nodded and chuckled.
With Chang Chen around, Lu Wu can relax a bit.
"Come here, I need to talk to you about something!"
Remembering Lu Wu's temperament, Qin Yu pulled Zhang Zhen aside and told him in detail about Lu Wu.
Zhang Zhen felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to the list of precautions.
Wang Xiaoling, who was standing nearby, sat down with Gou Dan and Xia Lan in her arms. Gou Dan reached out to Xia Lan for a hug when he saw her.
"Hey! This kid, he still remembers you!"
"Children have excellent memories!"
Xia Lan said with a smile, and then took Gou Dan from Wang Xiaoling's arms.
"Da~"
Xia Lan was teasing Gou Dan, who stared intently at her. When he saw her teasing him, he immediately chuckled.
"You two are destined to be together, aren't you?" Wang Xiaoling looked at how much her son adored Xia Lan and remembered what the old man had said.
"The elders in my hometown say that when a child really likes someone, it's fate!"
Wang Xiaoling thought for a moment and then said.
"There's another way to say that?"
Xia Lan was also surprised, but seeing how much Gou Dan liked her, she began to believe it.
"Perhaps it is? We're so far apart, yet we're still able to get together. It's fate!"
Xia Lan smiled.
"Otherwise, how do you think we would have met? It's fate that we were on the same train, and even more fate that we ran into Zhang Zhen..."
"Don't you think so?"
Xia Lan's words made Wang Xiaoling nod repeatedly.
"Let me tell you the truth! When you came over, I thought you were going to kidnap my son! But you didn't look like it!"
Wang Xiaoling smiled.
"Before I left, they repeatedly told me not to talk to strangers, especially not to talk to them suddenly!"
"That's true! That's definitely how it is outside!"
Xia Lan affirmed.
"I couldn't help but speak up because I was worried that Gou Dan would get hurt because of the way you shook him!"
Xia Lan couldn't stand it anymore, otherwise she wouldn't have said anything.
"I'm so glad you're not angry with me for being nosy, Sister Xiaoling!"
"I don't think you're being nosy! I wish you would say more! Look how well-behaved my dog is now, I just used your method and it really worked!"
Wang Xiaoling said earnestly to Xia Lan.
She had just tried the method, but Gou Dan really didn't wake up.
Xia Lan listened to her recount her harrowing experience and felt happy for her.
"Then you can take good care of Gou Dan without worry from now on!"
"Remember to give me your address, I'll send some treats to Dog Egg later!"
Xia Lan smiled at Wang Xiaoling.
"Don't try to back down. If you really consider me a sister, then this has to be reciprocal!"
Seeing Xia Lan's earnest gaze, Wang Xiaoling initially thought it was just polite talk, but still nodded in the end.
She wasn't just being polite; Wang Xiaoling felt that Xia Lan, whom she had only known for a short time, was truly likable.
"Girl, if you treat me sincerely, I'll definitely treat you sincerely in return!"
Wang Xiaoling patted Xia Lan's hand and said earnestly.
If someone treats her with sincerity, she will definitely treat them with sincerity in return.
How many months pregnant are you?
Wang Xiaoling looked at Xia Lan's slightly protruding belly and asked curiously.
"About four or five months!"
Xia Lan smiled.
