The meal was finally over, and Li Xiao felt that it was a truly exhausting experience.
Are all people who consider themselves wealthy like this?
Li Xiao witnessed it firsthand.
A room full of scheming and cunning.
As if afraid people wouldn't know.
What? Aren't you tired of living?
They're so obsessed with saving face that they suffer for it; they want to pretend they're rich even when they don't have anything to offer.
What time is it now? The apocalypse!
It's the end of the world, but I thought this was before the end of the world.
I'm speechless.
Thankfully, we can leave after we finish eating. If we don't leave soon, Li Xiao is going to get angry.
It's like I'm the one who's freeloading.
Ha, what a piece of junk.
Cheng Shaolin knew that Li Xiao was unhappy today. There was nothing he could do; this was his own home.
How did it come to this? I'm heartbroken.
Forget it, I won't live here. They're not really my concern.
I don't need their help, so it doesn't bother me.
Cheng Shaolin held Li Xiao's hand and said heavily, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao."
Li Xiao pouted, but still didn't blame him, even though she was angry inside.
"Hmph, whatever. I know it's not your fault, but I won't come here again. I'm not here to be bullied."
Cheng Shaolin chuckled and said, "Okay, okay."
How could he let Li Xiao suffer again?
After He Yunzhen packed her things and said goodbye to the old man and Cheng Feihong's family, Cheng Shaolin, Li Xiao, Cheng Feiyue, and He Yunzhen left the central city together.
"Shall we come to your place?"
He Yunzhen was still a little worried, afraid of causing trouble for the child.
"It's alright, we're all family there. Go take a look first, and if you really can't get used to living there, you can rent another place nearby. What could possibly happen?"
Li Xiao spoke frankly and openly, which temporarily put He Yunzhen and Cheng Feiyue at ease.
Seeing that no one was around, He Yunzhen grabbed Li Xiao's hand and started talking.
From worry to relief; from concern to joy.
"Xiaoxiao, it's good that you're alright. Your uncle and I were just worried that Shaolin wouldn't be able to find you. It's good that he has."
"Yes, I was worried that Shaolin wouldn't be able to find it, but I didn't expect it to be delayed on the way."
"Hehe, I found you a long time ago."
"Really?" He Yunzhen pulled Li Xiao along. Now that she knew the two children were alright, she felt relieved.
Seeing her son still holding Li Xiao's other hand with unease, He Yunzhen felt a surge of joy in her heart.
Hey, there's nothing better than these two kids becoming a couple.
The four of them returned to Area B, chatting and laughing. When they got back to the 10th floor, they were surprised to find that everyone was there.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, you're back. And this is... your aunt and uncle?"
The door next door opened, and people could be seen coming up the stairs.
Upon seeing Cheng Shaolin and Li Xiao, Tian Tian immediately came out of the room.
"Yes, these are Cheng Shaolin's parents."
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
…………
"Okay, okay, you're all well."
Cheng Feiyue and He Yunzhen were very happy to see these energetic young people.
Yu Yanbin, who was at the back, gestured to Cheng Shaolin with his eyes, asking what was going on.
Cheng Shaolin returned the look with a glance, saying, "We'll talk about it later."
Yu Yanbin stopped asking questions and watched with a smile as a group of people surrounded Cheng Feiyue and his wife and entered the room where Cheng Shaolin and Li Xiao were staying.
"Uncle and Aunt, please come in quickly. This is Cheng Ge and Xiao Xiao's room. Our room is next door. If you need anything, just call us. We're all here."
They all had no relatives, and when they saw Cheng Shaolin's relatives, they were excessively affectionate.
"You are all good children, everything will be alright."
I don't know how to comfort you right now; anything I say would be pale and powerless.
"We're doing great. With these friends around, we're actually much better off than many people."
"Yes, yes, Shao Jie is right, we are family."
After exchanging greetings and getting to know each other, everyone sat down and started chatting.
"It's good to see that you children are all alright." He Yunzhen's eyes reddened as she said this.
Being able to survive is better than anything else.
“I’ll just call you Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng. I’m older than them, they all call me Uncle Meng.”
"Hey, just call them that. We should thank you for taking care of them." Cheng Feiyue is an honest man, and he doesn't care about anything complicated now; he just lets his abilities speak for themselves.
"It's not that they take care of me; it's that they don't mind my age and average abilities."
Li Xiao, who was standing nearby, interjected, "Uncle Meng, that's not right. If your strength is just average, then there are no experts."
"Exactly, those words make us feel ashamed."
...
Meng Yang was publicly humiliated, and he laughed, pointing at them.
"If you have the ability, you don't need to be modest. Otherwise, others will think you are easy to bully."
"Yes, yes, brother, just say what you mean. Why be so modest? Some people are like that; if you're modest, they'll think you're easy to bully and won't take you seriously."
He Yunzhen and Cheng Feiyue also laughed and said.
Meng Yang waved his hand, "Hey, don't listen to what they say. They're all better than me, they just don't say it. As for me, I'm really not that great."
Upon hearing this, He Yunzhen and Cheng Feiyue became interested.
I had heard Cheng Shaolin say before that most of them had special abilities, but I didn’t ask for specifics.
Now that I'm interested, I want to hear what these kids' special abilities are.
"In our team, the strongest is your son, Cheng Shaolin. He's a fire elementalist, and his strength is the highest among us."
