Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Pu'er.
Little Pu'er seemed to be caught off guard by Lu Hanglan's question. After a long while, he asked:
"I'm going back to the Forbidden City with you. Can I see my mother right away?"
Of course not. None of them knew Yun Yunmeng's whereabouts. The adults couldn't help but look at little Pu'er with heartache.
Lu Hanglan squatted down, his eyes level with Xiao Pu'er, and said in a gentle voice:
"Although I can't see her right away, if she can come back, she will definitely go home as soon as possible."
"And your grandmother, she has been looking for you since you got lost. Don't you miss her?"
Little Pu'er cried out, tears splashing out like a water gun, leaving two sad noodles, "I miss you!"
“I miss grandma!!”
"But, but..."
She turned her head and looked reluctantly at Yunduan and Huo Qiu Sheng, as well as her grandmother, Yin Mei Zi, whom she had just met but whom she liked very much.
Yunduan smiled and walked forward to rub her soft hair.
"Don't cry, we will go to Sijiu City to see you later."
Little Pu'er squinted his eyes, his face full of suspicion.
"real?"
The cloud said, "Have I ever lied to you?"
Xiao Pu'er thought about it seriously and realized that Yunduan had not deceived her.
He said he had a fight with Huo Qiu Sheng and would take her away, so he really did.
She was told to wear new clothes and dress up like a princess, and she had endless new clothes and little leather shoes.
She can also eat popsicles, fan herself, and watch TV. The other children are so envious that they cry and scramble to be her friends. Hu Zi and Brother Xiaolong even say they want to protect her.
Just like a knight protecting a princess.
Unlike in the old city, she was always bullied by other children, who called her "Little Stinky Old Nine" and ganged up on her to beat her up.
He is not like the bad uncle who is a human trafficker and fraudster, who lies to her and abuses her.
She nodded trustingly to Yunduan, but then stretched out her little hand to ask for a pinky promise, as if that would make her feel more secure.
Yunduan reached out his hand cooperatively, and Xiao Pu'er hooked it with his little finger, then pressed his thumb on Yunduan with great effort, as if he was afraid that if he pressed too lightly, it would lose its effect.
Little Pu'er was very pious, "Make a promise and don't change it for a hundred years..."
Yunduan suddenly thought, what if something unexpected happened and he couldn’t go to Sijiu City to see her?
Perhaps little Pu'er sensed her guilt, and the desire in his eyes became unusually strong when he looked at her.
Yunduan could only give her a more affirmative smile in return.
For Xiao Pu'er, making a pinky promise was like a contract in an online game. She completely lost her previous reluctance and began to happily imagine meeting Yunduan and the others in Sijiu City next time and taking them there to play.
He also talked about the various delicious foods in the city of Beijing like a treasure trove. He started to drool while talking, which made everyone laugh.
Lu Hanglan is visiting our house today, and he will take Xiao Pu'er away after a meal, so the meal is particularly sumptuous.
Lu Hanglan praised the cooking skills highly and if she hadn't been thinking about her journey soon, she would have had a few drinks to cheer herself up.
After dinner, Yunduan packed up Xiao Pu'er's things and told Lu Hanglan:
"Little Pu'er sweats easily, so I prepared a few handkerchiefs for her back. Remember to change them in time, otherwise she will catch a cold."
"It's hot now, and she likes to eat cold food. Don't let her eat too much, as it can cause diarrhea."
"This is her thermos. Give her plenty of warm water. Don't wait until she says she's thirsty, because by then she's already dehydrated."
"Don't give her too much sweets, it can cause tooth decay. Remember to remind her to brush her teeth..."
Then she looked at Little Pu'er and told him,
"Listen to Uncle Lu on the way and make sure to hold onto his hand or his clothes."
"I wrote a note with our contact information on it. If you get lost, give this to the police. Never talk to strangers..."
Little Pu'er's tears welled up as he heard this, and he threw himself into her arms, holding her tightly with his little hands.
"I won't leave, I won't leave! I want to be with you forever..."
"good,"
Yunduan pulled her away and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief. "Don't cry. Grandma must be worried to death since she hasn't seen you for so long."
"Besides, we can just call..."
Yunduan coaxed little Pu'er with sweet words, and her words made sense, as if separation was not a big deal and not worth being sad at all.
But when she saw little Pu'er leave with her own eyes, she cried harder than anyone else.
Huo Qiu Sheng didn't expect that the first time he got wet was because of Yunduan's tears.
When the red glow covered the sky, Liu Anqi came.
As soon as she saw Yunduan, she hugged her and cried.
Huo Qiu Sheng, who was unaware of the situation, was still sighing, he didn't expect Liu Anqi to have such deep feelings for Xiao Pu'er.
Yunduan wanted to say no, but when he thought that Huo Qiu Sheng didn't know about the relationship between Liu Anqi and Wang Fengqin, he didn't say anything.
Liu Anqi had a lot to say, but because Yunduan had many family members, she found an excuse to go to her house.
This was Yunduan's first time visiting her home. The table was covered with a red and white checkered tablecloth, there were flowers in the vase, there were two fish, and small ornaments were placed everywhere.
The warmth and romance of home are evident everywhere.
"Duanduan! Wang Fengqin has really been arrested!"
As soon as she entered the house, Liu Anqi cheered, "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming!"
"That's great. I don't have to worry about being threatened by her anymore."
Yunduan saw that she was so happy, and the sadness of Xiao Pu'er's departure was alleviated a little.
Liu Anqi clasped her hands together in admiration and said to Yunduan:
“You’re amazing!”
