On New Year's Eve, Bai Ningwei disappeared in the dilapidated temple in the south of the city where she had been hiding, but Xiang Ping was not happy.

Instead, he was very panicked.

No matter how many books he read at the recycling station, no one would teach him which comes first, national interests or personal interests.

I only wanted to know my last name.

He wanted so much to have a home, a home that truly belonged to him and Xiang An.

Only by finding a home can he settle down with Xiang An and no longer have to worry about Bai Ningwei's sudden appearance every day.

I can apply to university and see the "world" that my mother talked about.

——

"Brother, this is Brother Nansheng, the family of that sister from yesterday. He's here to pick you up and take me to their house..."

Xiang An first told He Nansheng the purpose of his visit, and then told him about his coma in the morning.

After hearing the description of his home, Xiang Ping felt complicated.

He raised his eyes and looked at He Nansheng, who was half a head taller than him.

"Hello, I'm He Nansheng, just call me by the same name as Xiang An." He Nansheng was also looking at Xiang Ping.

The child had a gloomy expression and eyes full of vigilance, which was completely different from Xiang An.

He Nansheng raised his eyebrows secretly.

I had always felt that Xiang An didn't look like a kid who grew up in the slums because he was too trusting.

Now that I see Xiang Ping, I kind of understand.

This child must have had a hard time, as Xiang An was well protected under his wings.

Xiang Ping and Xiang An look like brothers, but he doesn't look like Sui Sui as much as Xiang Ping does.

Only if you look closely can you see that the two people have some similarities in eye shape and nose shape.

Being looked at by He Nansheng's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Xiang Ping lowered his eyelids and looked into Xiang An's eyes that were filled with expectation.

He was slightly startled, then slowly nodded, "Brother He, we'll go back with you."

He Nansheng was surprised that he was unexpectedly easy to talk to.

But he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked the two to pack up their things and take the bus back with him.

They didn't have much to pack, so they just changed into clean clothes for Xiang Ping.

It wasn't until Xiang Ping talked about paying back the debt that He Nansheng realized it.

It turns out that he didn't think about being adopted at the beginning, but about expressing gratitude.

"Kid, what are you talking about paying back your debt? Grandma likes Xiang An and wants to treat him well, and you can't even do this?" Lu Manhua came back to her senses and looked at Xiang Ping with a stubborn face, feeling distressed and helpless.

Xiang Ping shook his head and lowered his eyelids, not daring to look at the pity in the old man's eyes.

He had never been looked at like this before, and was at a loss for what to do. "We can't take grandma's kindness for granted. An An and I have a family, we have relatives, and I've been looking for them."

An An is right, this home is good, but it is not theirs.

Perhaps Bai Ningwei's word "bastard" left a deep shadow on him.

He was determined to find his roots.

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

After Lu Manhua was stunned, she could no longer hide her disappointment.

Since you already have a family, you really can't adopt.

"Have you lost your family?" she asked again.

Suisui and He Nansheng were also curious.

"Yeah," Xiang Ping nodded, glanced at the surprised Xiang An, and continued, "Yes, so sorry, grandma, we have our own relatives."

Sui Sui couldn't bear to see her grandmother feel lost, so she suggested, "Since you haven't found your family, why don't you stay in Hefeng for now.

Once you find your family, we won’t force you to stay.”

Seeing Xiang Ping looking up as if to refute, Sui Sui curled her lips and said, "Didn't you say you would bring Xiang An to pay off your debt?

Since you want to thank us, we have the final say on how to thank you.

I only ask that you stay with my grandma until you find your family."
