Waiting for us? Could it be me and her? Su Li's first reaction was to turn and look at Jiu Yue. Jiu Yue seemed to have the same thought, and she also turned around to look at Su Li. The two of them felt strange, and they let go of each other's hands that were originally clasped together.
“That’s right, it’s you.” Opposite him was a tall, middle-aged man wearing a sleeveless, form-fitting long dress and with shoulder-length curly hair.
Su Li looked him over. She didn't think she had seen this person before, but his appearance seemed quite familiar.
"Hey, you two look so alike!" September exclaimed, glancing at Su Li and then at the tall man.
"Tch, who looks like him?" Su Li said dismissively, raising her hand to touch her face. But she couldn't help but look at the man opposite her again. As soon as she looked up, she immediately spotted several features on his face that resembled her own.
"Li'er, I've finally found you." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly when he saw Su Li, his eyes welling up with tears. He reached out his trembling hands to Su Li. "That's right, we look alike, and not just a little bit, but very alike."
"This..." The usually aloof Su Li looked at the man before her and felt a sudden, inexplicable heartache welling up inside her. She shook her head, took two steps back, and cautiously asked, "Why? Why do you look like me? Why do you call me Li'er?"
"Because you are my daughter." The middle-aged man choked up as he said this.
"You mean, my name is Li'er, or I'm your daughter?" This was an absolute joke, and Su Li doubted that she had heard correctly.
You say so, then so be it. My name isn't Li'er. There are many other people in this world who look alike, more than just you and me...
“That’s right, I’m sure you are my Li’er, because that red light just now attracted you here…” The man spoke a little hurriedly, showing that he had come prepared.
Judging from this, it's supposed to be a touching scene of a father and daughter reuniting. September shook her head, wondering why she'd come along too. Why was she just following behind someone like a spectator, like someone watching a spectacle…
The current scene seemed to have nothing to do with her. Although this woman was a detestable demon, she was also quite touching at this moment. Since that was the case, she would retreat to the side and see what to do next. September was about to step aside.
"Child, don't go." Unexpectedly, upon seeing this, the middle-aged man turned around and called out to Jiuyue, "Although your father can't come, he entrusted me to make sure he conveys his words."
"My dad?" What the heck is this? Does this mean I'm involved in something?
“That’s right, there’s something I have to tell you now.” The middle-aged man’s expression was not joking at all. He even had tears in his eyes and reached out to grab Jiu Yue and Su Li’s arms, one on each side. “Children, you have suffered. I hope it’s not too late.”
“My name isn’t Li’er, it’s Su Li.” Su Li shook her head and took a step back.
"Don't be like that, I'm not lying. Here, I'll show you a set of pictures, and you'll understand," the middle-aged man wiped away his tears, and gestured for Su Li and Jiu Yue to step back. A small white mirror had appeared in his hand at some point.
"Alright, I'd like to see what tricks you're up to." At this moment, Su Li and Jiu Yue remained expressionless. The man raised his hand and waved, sending the small mirror flying into the air. Gradually, an enlarged mirror appeared, and soon, the sound of a child crying came from within the mirror.
There were four babies, each wrapped in a small cotton blanket, placed in four oval-shaped baskets...
