Chu Chu was still immersed in a coma, unresponsive to anything happening outside. A few hours in the underworld seemed like many days in the human world, adding to the already tense Chu family's anxiety.
As the date of her scheduled Austrian piano competition approaches, Chu Fei feels a heavy heart due to her sister's condition. For her, the competition is not only a stage to showcase her talent, but also a long-cherished dream.
Aunt Sheng Xiaodan looked at Chu Fei's tangled expression and gently comforted her, "Fei Fei, do you know how rare this opportunity is? It's not easy to register. Why don't you let me go with you? Just go to the competition without worry."
Chu Fei's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "My uncle has just regained his freedom, and Chu Chu has not woken up yet. How can I go to the competition with peace of mind?"
Chu An, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Fei Fei, go ahead. There are so many people at home, they will all take good care of Chu Chu. Your competition is also very important."
Song Yaqing also held her daughter's hand and encouraged her, "Listen to your aunt. I'll be relieved to have her accompany you. An'an, you should go with us so that we can take care of you."
Chu An shook his head and said firmly: "I won't go. I have to stay and look after Chu Chu. If my aunt is here, Feifei's competition will be fine. And my mother has been busy with business recently, so I have to stay and help."
Chu Lei, who was sitting next to her, seemed particularly sensible despite his young age. He held his chin with both hands and said seriously, "Sister, although Chuchu hasn't woken up, she doesn't seem sick either. It's like she's having a very long dream. Just go to the competition without worry. Maybe she'll wake up when you come back."
Chu Fei was touched by her brother's words. Although she was still a little worried, she also knew that she couldn't continue to be immersed in worry. She took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I will go."
Grandma noticed: "Where has Zhao Feng been recently? Why does it feel like I haven't seen her for several days?"
Everyone looked around and indeed there was no sign of Zhao Feng.
Chu An said, "I'll go to his room and take a look. He wouldn't just leave without saying goodbye, would he?"
Chu Fei saw the little corgi she had brought back earlier spinning around on the ground. She suddenly thought of Tian Yi: "Where's the cat? Where's Chu Chu's pet cat?"
As soon as Chu Fei finished speaking, everyone noticed that the pet cat named Tianyi, who usually followed Chu Chu or nestled in Chu Chu's arms, was nowhere to be seen.
I thought Zhao Feng’s disappearance was strange enough, but I didn’t expect Chuchu’s cat to disappear as well.
Chu An hurried to Zhao Feng's room and pushed the door open. The room was neatly tidied, and everything looked normal. There was no sign that Zhao Feng would leave without saying goodbye. However, the bed was made, clearly no one had slept in it for several days.
Chu An looked around the room, hoping to find some clues, but found nothing.
He returned, his face somewhat grave, and said, "Zhao Feng isn't here, and neither is the cat. Could it be that he took the cat back to his hometown?"
Cousin Song Jian thought for a moment and guessed, "It could be that it's summer vacation, and with so many people at home, he feels a little uncomfortable, so he took the cat to find a quiet place to stay."
Grandma listened, nodded, and said, "Well, that's a possibility. Does anyone know his contact information? Give him a call and ask where he is and if he's safe."
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Although they would greet Zhao Feng when they saw him, they didn't interact with him very closely. They always felt that he was just a passing guest in the family, keeping a certain distance from everyone.
At this moment, Song Yaqing suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, I remember I asked Zhao Feng if he had a cell phone number, and he told me he didn't have one."
There was another moment of silence. Not having a cell phone meant he couldn't be contacted by conventional means, which was a bit unsettling.
Grandma frowned and said, "How come this idiot doesn't even have a cell phone? In today's society, it's so inconvenient not to have a cell phone."
Chu An sighed and said, "It seems we have to find another way to find him. Maybe we can go to the places he often goes to."
Chu An thought it was no big deal: "Maybe he will be back in a few days. Now I am still worried about Chu Chu. It is not a big deal if she is asleep all the time."
At this time, Mrs. Li came in and said, "Mrs. Lu is here with Young Master Lu."
Song Yaqing hummed and glanced at Chuchu, "I'll go take a look. An'an stay here, and you should go and rest, sister-in-law, you and Feifei should go and prepare. Everyone should go and do your own things."
Everyone said it was good.
Song Yaqing came downstairs and saw Ren Jinting's face full of concern and fatigue, so she asked softly, "Is Chuchu still not awake?"
Ren Jinting nodded, sighed helplessly, her eyes full of worry.
Lu Chenguang stood aside, his little face full of concern and worry. He raised his head, looked at Song Yaqing, and asked tentatively: "Aunt Song, can I go upstairs to see Chuchu?"
Song Yaqing looked at Lu Chenguang's worried eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She smiled gently and said, "Of course, let's go up together."
So, the three of them went upstairs together. Song Yaqing did not forget to ask Mrs. Li to prepare tea.
"Jinting, go slowly. You're already showing your pregnancy, so you should be careful when going up the stairs."
"It's only been more than four months, so it's not difficult for me. After Shen Guang heard about Chuchu's situation, he was more anxious and worried than I was." Ren Jinting went upstairs carefully.
Lu Chenguang couldn't wait to rush to Chuchu's room.
Chu An was there, and Lu Chenguang quickly greeted him politely: "Hello, Brother Chu An, I'm here to visit Chu Chu."
Chu An slightly turned sideways to give up his place beside the bed.
Lu Chenguang moved closer, his eyes gently falling on Chu Chu's peaceful sleeping face. He asked softly, "Has she been anywhere recently, Brother Chu An?"
Chu An thought for a moment and replied, "She's just a little kid and hasn't been anywhere."
Lu Chenguang didn't seem satisfied with this answer. He continued to ask, "Did she go out before she fell asleep? Did she meet any strange people?"
Chu An looked at Lu Chenguang's serious and earnest face and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
He wondered why the child asked questions like a little adult. But he still tried to answer patiently: "Chu Chu probably hasn't gone out. She usually stays at home and rarely goes out."
Lu Chenguang nodded, but he always felt that something strange must have happened. Chuchu was originally a very special existence, with many differences from humans.
At this time, Ren Jinting walked into the room and said a little breathlessly: "Chen Guang, you walk too fast, I can't catch up with you." She looked at Lu Chen Guang standing beside Chu Chu's bed, his face full of concern and worry, and she couldn't help but touched his head distressedly.
"Don't worry, Chuchu will be fine." Ren Jinting comforted.
"Yes, Chuchu will definitely wake up."
But Lu Chenguang didn't want to just sit there and wait for death.
