"Xiaoxiao, are you going to Beijing to see your relatives?" Meng Yang asked, looking at her.
Tian Tian also looked at Li Xiao. What was Li Xiao going to Beijing for? Did he have relatives in Beijing?
"Hmm, I guess so." Li Xiao thought for a moment, her smile a little embarrassed.
"What do you mean by 'should be considered'?" Tian Tian asked, somewhat puzzled.
“They are, well, I call them uncle and aunt, but we are not related by blood.”
?
...
Li Xiao looked somewhat dejected. "My uncle's family seems to have a good relationship with our family. When something happened to our family, they rushed over to help us deal with it immediately. Now that it's the apocalypse, I don't know what the situation is like. Before the apocalypse, they kept asking me to go to Beijing, but I didn't have time." Li Xiao lowered her head and nervously touched her fingers.
Cheng Shaolin looked up at Li Xiao, surprised that the little girl was so uneasy.
Yu Yanbin and the others looked at Cheng Shaolin, and this matched everything Cheng Shaolin had said.
Cheng Shaolin then said to Li Xiao, "You said they asked you to go before, maybe they've been waiting for you. Did they say anything else?"
Li Xiao thought for a moment in silence, "The situation was a bit chaotic at the time. My aunt called me, but the phone signal was bad, so I couldn't hear very clearly. It seemed like she told me to stay at home because my uncle was very busy and didn't have time to pick me up."
Everyone knows that things were indeed very chaotic at that time. It's understandable that people were too busy dealing with things to have time.
Li Xiao was very worried, wondering if people would still remember her now. In the apocalypse, anything could change.
Her thoughts were racing when Cheng Shaolin asked her, "Are you going to find them?"
Li Xiao looked at him and replied, "Yes, the last time my aunt called, she told me to stay home. I think I heard her say something about someone picking me up, but I didn't hear clearly. I didn't have time to leave, and I was afraid it would be too dangerous for them to come and get me, so I went by myself. They don't need to come out." She finished speaking and laughed. A knowing smile spread across her face, which was covered in paint. Even her not-so-clean face had a stunning quality at that moment.
Cheng Shaolin laughed when he heard this. "You didn't listen to them and stayed at home. You ran away. What if they said they would send someone to pick you up, but they can't find you?"
Li Xiao was stunned. "It's the apocalypse. Why would they come out? I told you, they would go by themselves."
Cheng Shaolin chuckled, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Could it be that they said they were sending someone to pick you up?"
Li Xiao stared at him with wide eyes. The man's bright eyes seemed to reflect her face, and she must have been staring at him with her mouth agape.
"Why would you say that?" She looked at the man opposite her with a suspicious expression and a stern face.
Cheng Shaolin smiled at this moment, and the people around him looked at him with curiosity.
"You said that, considering your uncle and aunt's age, and the chaos at that time, is it possible that they didn't come themselves, but sent someone else...?" He tilted his head and looked at the young girl, carefully pointing it out.
Tian Tian nudged Li Xiao at the opportune moment, "Yeah, do you remember anything else? Did they say where they were waiting for you? Or, think again, did they call someone to pick you up?"
Everyone silently gave Tian Tian a thumbs up in their hearts. This little girl is really sensible; they should take good care of her in the future.
"Hmm?" Li Xiao also recalled what had happened in the previous days.
"Hmm, I think so,"
"What is it?"
"Well, I'm not sure either. The call was intermittent; it seemed like they were saying who should answer the phone,"
"Oh, really? Who is it? Don't miss it! Do you remember who it is?"
Li Xiao tried hard to recall, "It seems like it was, um, son? I think that's what it was said, but I only heard a few words, so I'm not sure."
"If you heard a few words, it means they must have said it. What's your aunt's son's name? Don't miss it."
Li Xiao stood there, stunned. Everyone was looking at her. What was wrong? Didn't they know?
Only Cheng Shaolin knew the truth.
Li Xiao didn't know what to say, so she touched her nose and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't know, I think her surname is Cheng." She then laughed sheepishly, realizing she really hadn't asked and genuinely didn't know. (//?//)
Everyone looked at Cheng Shaolin with sympathy, except for Tian Tian, who didn't understand, and Meng Yang, who looked at him with a meaningful expression.
Tian Tian had an exaggerated expression on her face, as if she were kidding me. "Xiaoxiao, didn't you say your family and his family have a good relationship? How come you don't know his name and only know his surname?"
"I... I don't remember," she said apologetically to Tian Tian. "I was injured and don't remember anything from before."
Tian Tian was watching this like a TV drama; she'd only ever seen this kind of person on television. "So, you don't remember anything? Luckily you remember the surname is Cheng, but you didn't ask what his name was. What if you'd missed him?"
Li Xiao was also embarrassed, "It was all very chaotic at the time. The call came in a hurry, and the signal was bad. We were talking about urgent things, so..."
Everyone nodded. The situation was urgent, and they might not remember such a small matter. They just looked at Cheng Shaolin with sympathy. They had gone to great lengths to find him, and now that they had found him, he didn't even know who he was.
Cheng Shaolin was speechless, but there was nothing he could do. What could he do if he didn't remember? He could only get to know them all over again.
He walked solemnly to Li Xiao, who looked at the tall man who had suddenly appeared in front of her, somewhat puzzled.
Cheng Shaolin extended his hand, his eyes shining, and said very solemnly, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Cheng Shaolin, my father's name is Cheng Feiyue, and my mother's name is He Yunzhen. My parents asked me to pick you up and take you to Beijing. I didn't expect you to run away on your own. I'm glad to meet you here. I'm glad you're alright." He smiled at Li Xiao, who stared wide-eyed at the outstretched hand in bewilderment.
She's a little confused now. Is this really someone coming to pick her up? What a coincidence! (??)
She looked at the outstretched hand, unsure whether she should take it.
Tian Tian, who was standing next to her, became anxious. "Ah, Xiaoxiao, look, they've come to pick you up. It really is!"
Tian Tian's exclamation interrupted her thoughts. Her big, watery eyes stared at Cheng Shaolin, "You, you're really Uncle Cheng's son?"
Cheng Shaolin didn't retract his outstretched hand, and waited for her slowly.
"Yes, I just didn't expect you to have forgotten my name completely. You used to call me 'brother,' and we used to keep in touch all the time." He finished speaking with a pained expression, which made Li Xiao feel very embarrassed.
"Um, um, I'm sorry, I don't remember, I apologize." He looked apologetic.
Looking at the large hand that was reaching out again, with its distinct knuckles and slender fingers, it was a beautiful hand. While she was still stunned, the other person stretched it out further, waiting for her without the slightest impatience.
Looking at the smiling man, Li Xiao finally took his hand.
"Oh, everyone's happy!" Shao Jie clapped happily from the side.
Everyone was very happy. After traveling so far, things finally came to a satisfactory conclusion. Who wouldn't be happy?
Seeing everyone so happy for her, Li Xiao felt a surge of joy in her heart. Her uncle and aunt really did remember her; what they said was true.
