The old man seemed a little confused, but he didn't question it. "Hello, my name is Seris."
Qiao Zhen also politely introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Riel Qiao."
The old man sat happily on a nearby bench, and left around the same time as Qiao Zhen.
After spending two weeks together, the old man and Qiao Zhen became more like friends. Then, Qiao Zhen left a little late because of the design drafts and happened to run into the man who came to pick up the old man.
“This is my son, Rao.”
"Hello, my name is Riel Joe."
Rao was a very handsome foreigner, at least in Qiao Zhen's eyes. "Thank you so much for taking care of my father these past few nights, thank you very much."
Qiao Zhen smiled politely but distantly, "You're welcome, it was just a small favor."
Seris enthusiastically suggested, "Ryle, would you like to come to our home as a guest?"
Qiao Zhen nodded, "It would be my honor."
When Seris asked Qiao Zhen, "Do you know who I am?" last time, Qiao Zhen became suspicious of Seris's identity. According to the conventions of novels, the person who asks this question must be someone of high status. Being a cunning girl, she pretended not to care, waiting for Seris to reveal his true identity.
The next day at noon, Qiao Zhen visited Seris's house and saw a man even more handsome than Rao! He was Chinese, but she didn't know his name yet.
Seris explained, "This is the man my son rescued; he seems to have some mental issues."
When Mingzhao saw Qiao Zhen, he immediately ran over and hugged her. The nearly 1.9-meter-tall man sobbed uncontrollably, "Teacher, I'm so scared, waaaaah..."
Qiao Zhen was frozen in shock, staring at the man before her. "What's your name?"
Mingzhao sobbed, "Mingli."
Qiao Zhen found it hard to believe. She stared wide-eyed at the man in front of her, "Ming Li?!"
Mingzhao nodded, "I don't know what happened either. That day you took me to the hospital, and when I woke up I was here. Waaah, I was so scared!"
The real Mingli is here, so who is the Mingli in the Ming family courtyard? Is it some kind of soul-swapping technique?
Seris provided a room for Qiao Zhen to be alone with "Ming Li". Qiao Zhen was somewhat bewildered. If the man in front of her was Ming Li, then who was that three-year-old from China?
Qiao Zhen's gaze fell on the tall, handsome man in front of her, a man so strikingly handsome he could have no friends. "You...are you really Ming Li?" She realized she'd asked a stupid question, so she changed it to a more direct one, "How can you prove you're Ming Li?"
The man in front of her could make Qiao Zhen feel guilty just by frowning. It's truly... the tragedy of being a sucker for good looks! She warned herself to stay calm and not to soften her heart.
The man started listing his past with Qiao Zhen one by one on his fingers, "You took me to my class on my first day of kindergarten. I also gave you chocolates, roses, and little rabbits that I cut out myself. My uncle's name is Mingyan, my dad's name is Mingyu, and my mom's name is Hani. I really like you, I like you so much."
Qiao Zhen didn't immediately make a judgment. "What does this prove? These are things that everyone can find out with a little investigation. Besides, everyone in the kindergarten knows that Ming Li likes me."
The man in front of me squatted down by the bed, looking aggrieved, with his arms wrapped around his knees and his butt sticking out.
Now Qiao Zhen could truly believe that the man in front of her was Ming Li. When the original owner refused Ming Li's invitation to go out and play together on Saturdays, Ming Li would squat down at the kindergarten gate with his butt sticking out, just like the man in front of her now.
"Okay, I believe you." But how could the man in front of her be as cute as Ming Li? So Qiao Zhen still found it difficult to speak to him in a tone that could coax a child.
The man's eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up and jumped up and down a couple of times. "Really?"
"Really, really!" Qiao Zhen pulled him to stand up straight. "Be more mature in the future. You're so tall now, you've grown up, so you can't just squat down when you're unhappy like before."
"Hmm!" The man in front of me responded solemnly, his face stern, and he did indeed have a certain air of authority.
Qiao Zhen led him outside. "Seris, it's a pleasure to be a guest here today. Let me introduce you. This is my... well, my friend from China. He must have met with some misfortune here and lost his memory. I want to take him back to find his relatives and friends."
After exchanging a few words with Rao, Seris agreed, "Alright then."
"Thank you." Qiao Zhen sincerely thanked him, then had lunch at Seris's place before taking the man back to the hotel. The two of them, of course, stayed in the same room. Even though he was over 1.8 meters tall, it didn't change his three- or four-year-old mentality. Qiao Zhen felt so tired. What kind of unscientific things had happened during this supposedly perfect vacation?
Let's call him Zhenmingli for now. After Zhenmingli and Qiaozhen returned to the hotel, he was secretly delighted, "I'm the same age as you now, can I pursue you?"
Qiao Zhen refused decisively, "No, I like the CEO, but you don't have a single penny of income right now. Can you support me?"
Zhenmingli shook his head in disappointment, his eyes dimming. He sat dejectedly on the sofa, scratching his head as if deep in thought.
Qiao Zhen has been busy with the competition lately, so he hasn't paid much attention to Zhenming Li.
While Qiao Zhen wasn't looking, Zhen Mingli asked the hotel staff for a calligraphy brush, ink stick, inkstone, and a large sheet of paper, asking them to put it on Qiao Zhen's tab. He then took the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone to a nearby park.
