When the two of them left Grandma Liu's shop, it was almost twelve o'clock. They had slept for a whole day and they would definitely not be able to sleep if they went back.
Zhou Qian suggested, "Shall we go for a drive?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere."
The two drove through the busy streets, passed by deserted alleys, and walked past the quiet lake, allowing their body and mind to relax in this tranquility.
After driving around for about an hour, Lu Jing drove back home. On the way, Lu Jing finally asked, "When do you plan to go and meet your relatives?"
Zhou Qian didn't say anything, and his originally relaxed mood slowly tightened again.
She admitted that she didn't like change, but after they met, she had to accept a lot of new things, which was like reshuffling her life.
Lu Jing reached out and held her hand, as if to encourage her, "They are your closest relatives, and they have never given up looking for you. This proves that they love you very much. You should be happy."
"I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little..." Zhou Qian couldn't describe the feeling. Joy, embarrassment, resistance, expectation, all kinds of emotions mixed together.
Lu Jing held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry. Take that step and you will find it is not that difficult."
Zhou Qian turned his head to look at him, still struggling in his heart.
At the traffic light, Lu Jing stopped the car, looked at her, and said calmly, "Trust me, I'm here."
With his words, Zhou Qian felt that the complicated emotions in his heart slowly disappeared.
Finally, she nodded firmly.
Lu Jing rubbed the top of her head and smiled lovingly, "You're so good."
Zhou Qian also pursed his lips, "How about you? Are you feeling better?"
Just as the light turned green, Lu Jing started the car steadily. He shifted his gaze from her to the front and said lightly, "That video is the most precious gift you gave me."
Zhou Qian held his fingers tightly, "I'm honored."
Lu Jing curled up the corners of his mouth.
…
The next day, Lu Jing took Zhou Qian to the Liang family.
Zhou Qian was worried that she had slept too late the night before and her complexion was not good, so she put on some makeup before going out to cover her dark circles.
Lu Jing folded his arms, leaned against the bathroom door and looked at her, "Don't put it on, it looks good enough."
Zhou Qian turned her face to show him, "Can you still see the dark circles?"
"Even if you have panda eyes, they will still say you have unique looks."
Zhou Qian glared at him, looked at herself in the mirror, and thought her lips looked okay. Finally, she put some lip gloss on her lips, and after pursing her lips, she looked much better.
When Lu Jing saw that she dressed herself so exquisitely, he suddenly felt inexplicably unhappy. When Zhou Qian passed by him, she hugged him.
"You've never dressed like this before when you went on a date with me. Am I that unimportant?"
This guy is really jealous of everything.
"It's definitely not as important as seeing my parents." Zhou Qian deliberately angered him.
Lu Jing, on the other hand, was not angry. He touched her rosy little face and said, "Since this is your first time officially meeting your parents, I forgive you."
Zhou Qian showed him a row of small white teeth, "Thank you, Master Lu, for your generosity."
"You're welcome. Call me brother more often tonight."
“…”
Zhou Qian's ears turned red. This guy had some kind of perverted habit. Last night in bed, he kept forcing her to call him "brother", which made him endlessly excited.
…
When we arrived at Mr. Liang's home, we saw Mr. Liang and Liang Hui standing at the door from afar. The wind was cold, but the smiles on their faces were as warm as the sun.
Zhou Qian's eyes shifted between Liang Hui and Liu Yalu. She felt nervous and excited, but she still couldn't believe that they were her biological parents.
The car stopped and Zhou Qian took a deep breath.
"Zhou Yiyi, be a happy child." Lu Jing rubbed the top of her head.
Zhou Qian's heart was moved, "I want to be happy with you."
"If your parents knew you were so love-brained, would they abandon you?"
Zhou Qian's face suddenly turned dark.
Lu Jing had already opened the car door and got out, and Zhou Qian also took off his seat belt and got out.
"Xiao Qian."
As soon as Zhou Qian got off the car, Liu Yalu came up to him excitedly with tears in her eyes.
Zhou Qian looked at the gentle and beautiful woman in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. He pondered the word "Mom" for a moment before calling it out.
"Mom, Mom."
The word "Mom" made Liu Yalu's suppressed emotions burst out completely. She sobbed and burst into tears, hugging Zhou Qian, "My poor daughter."
Zhou Qian was also infected by Liu Yalu's emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes and she looked at Lu Jing beside her helplessly.
Lu Jing also looked at her, with a faint smile and encouragement in his eyes.
Zhou Qian gradually calmed down under his calming gaze, raised her hand and hugged Liu Yalu back, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Liu Yalu desperately shook her head, "It's Mom who's sorry for you. It's Mom who didn't take good care of you and made you wander around for so many years. It's all Mom's fault."
Zhou Qian patted Liu Yalu's back gently and said comfortingly, "It's all in the past. Besides, I never blamed you."
Liu Yalu cried even harder.
"Come in first. It's cold outside. Don't let your daughter get frozen." Liang Hui, who had been silent, walked up and said, his eyes red as he looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other.
The family entered the courtyard. The weather outside was good today, so several people sat around the fireplace in the yard, basking in the sun and talking.
Liu Yalu sat down and asked Zhou Qian how he had been living these years, whether he had been hungry or suffered, whether he remembered how he was abducted, and whether he remembered his childhood.
Zhou Qian briefly talked about his life and finally summed it up with the words "everything is fine".
As for the fact that Zhou Zhicheng was being chased for debts due to his gambling addiction and Zhang Landi's indifferent attitude towards her, she never mentioned it.
She was too young to remember how she was abducted or what happened in her childhood.
After crying with joy, Liu Yalu told Zhou Qian many interesting stories from her childhood. Although she was less than two years old, Liu Yalu seemed to have endless stories to tell, over and over again.
Zhou Qian was touched and relieved. She could see that Liu Yalu really loved her.
Although Liang Hui didn't say anything, he listened quietly beside him, his eyes full of happiness and satisfaction from beginning to end.
Mr. Liang was secretly wiping away tears beside him. Finally, Lu Jing couldn't bear it anymore, so he mentioned Mr. Liang and gave him a wink.
Then they left quietly and tacitly and ran to their chessboard.
…
Because Liu Yalu pulled Zhou Qian aside to talk, lunch was delayed for half an hour.
During the meal, Liu Yalu continued to add more food to Zhou Qian's bowl. Liang Hui spoke up this time, "Don't put everything into Xiao Qian's bowl. You don't know if the child likes it or not."
"It's okay, I'm not picky about food." Zhou Qian said jokingly to ease the atmosphere, "If you keep eating like this, I'm afraid you won't recognize me in a month."
"Absolutely impossible. Even if you eat more than 300 yuan, Mom will still recognize you."
Zhou Qian's eyes widened in shock, "Please spare me."
The whole family chatted and laughed, and the meal was a joyful occasion.
