Ye Li watched the man walking further and further away. She stamped her feet anxiously, wishing she could rush into the rain.
"Sister! Why are you here?" Nie Fan walked out of the department store slowly with an umbrella under his arm. He saw that the person stomping his feet at the door looked like Ye Li. When he got closer, he found that it was indeed Ye Li.
"Hurry! Nie Fan, catch up with the man who is about to turn in front!" When Ye Li saw Nie Fan coming, she immediately urged Nie Fan to chase him, fearing that he would disappear in front of her.
"good!"
Although Nie Fan didn't understand why Ye Li asked him to chase that man, he was sure that she had her reasons. So he opened his umbrella and ran out with big strides.
Just as Nie Fan ran into the rain, he thought of something. He turned back and shouted to Ye Li: "Sister, don't go alone, wait for me to come back!"
Nie Fan was afraid that it would be unsafe for Ye Li to go alone, so he quickly warned her.
"Okay! Don't worry, I won't go alone. I'll wait for you here."
Watching Nie Fan chasing out, Ye Li clenched his hands nervously, praying over and over in his heart that Nie Fan would definitely stop that man.
...
...
The rain was still falling, but not as heavily as before. Gradually, the raindrops became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped.
Ye Li waited for Nie Fan to come back, but when he saw the rain had stopped, he followed the path the man had disappeared along.
But after all, his body was too heavy. Ye Li felt difficulty breathing as soon as he quickened his pace, and he stopped to rest after walking a few steps.
"Ye Li! Why did you walk here by yourself? I haven't been able to stop a taxi for a long time. What should I do?" Zhao Xingmei went to a faraway road to stop a taxi, but no taxi was willing to stop. The rain was pouring down heavily, and many people didn't bring umbrellas, so taxis became popular.
The moment Ye Li saw Zhao Xingmei, his nose felt sore. Most of Zhao Xingmei's body was wet.
"Mom, you're so wet. What if you catch a cold when you go back?" Seeing this, Ye Li quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the rain off Zhao Xingmei's face.
"I'm in good health! This little rain is nothing. I think we should walk forward first. Now that it's not raining, maybe it will be easier to get a taxi." Zhao Xingmei came up to support Ye Li and prepared to leave.
"Mom, wait a moment, Nie Fan." Ye Li glanced ahead, but still couldn't see any trace of Nie Fan.
"Why are you waiting for him? Did you meet him just now?" Zhao Xingmei looked at Ye Li in confusion.
Ye Li told her mother-in-law about what happened to the man just now, which shocked her mother-in-law.
Because Ye Li had never mentioned her biological father before, and Zhuang Shihong told Zhao Xingmei that Ye Li's father had died a long time ago.
When Ye Li said just now that the man she saw was very likely her biological father, Zhao Xingmei didn't react for a moment.
"Really? You must have made a mistake, didn't you? If he really is your biological father, why didn't he recognize you?"
Zhao Xingmei felt that Ye Li might have just made a mistake.
When asked by Zhao Xingmei, Ye Li suddenly fell silent. She hadn't seen her father for many years. She was still a child when her father left home, and now he is married. Maybe she didn't recognize him because he had changed so much.
But so many years have passed, and her father's appearance must have changed. She is not sure whether the man just now is him. But no matter what, she has to confirm it before she can feel at ease.
"Okay, then let's wait for Nie Fan and see what happens."
Soon Nie Fan came back. He ran to Ye Li, bent over and panted, saying, "Sister, I didn't catch up..."
When Ye Li saw Nie Fan running back alone, he knew that he definitely had not caught up with him.
Maybe I really had made a mistake just now, and that elderly man was not my biological father, Ye Li comforted himself in his heart.
"Sister, who was that person you asked me to chase just now?"
Nie Fan just chased after him without any reason, and only now did he have time to ask for clarification.
"Your sister thought that man was her biological father. There are so many people in the world, and it's common to make mistakes. Maybe you were wrong just now, right, Ye Li." Seeing Ye Li's disappointed look, Zhao Xingmei hurried to comfort her.
"Yes, that's right. Sister, don't take it too seriously. But I just picked up a piece of paper on the ground, and I don't know if it was dropped by the man just now." Nie Fan said as he spread out his palm, on which there was a wet piece of paper with the words Red Star Guesthouse written on it.
"Let me see it!" Ye Li quickly snatched the piece of paper, his eyes lit up instantly.
On the front of the paper was the name and address of the Red Star Guesthouse, and on the back was a date.
Looking at the date, Ye Li's heart couldn't help but beat wildly again. The handwriting was too familiar. It was written by the person who wrote to Ye Li.
"Great! It must be my dad!" Ye Li excitedly clenched the piece of paper tightly in her hand. She was sure that the man just now was her biological father!
"Mom, let's go home quickly! Nie Fan, thank you so much! You have helped me a lot!" Ye Li's reaction made Zhao Xingmei and Nie Fan understand instantly that Ye Li's biological father was the man just now.
"Sister, is it really your uncle? How about I go to the guesthouse to take a look first?" Nie Fan suggested just to be on the safe side.
"Okay, you help me confirm it first. I'll be there right away after we go home and put our things down!" Ye Li wanted to go to the guesthouse right away, but Zhao Xingmei was soaked, so she had to go home to change clothes.
"Go! If he's still in the guesthouse, please help me keep him!"
So the three of them split up into two groups, Nie Fan went to the Red Star Guesthouse, while Ye Li and Zhao Xingmei returned home.
When she got home, Zhao Xingmei hurried back to the house, took off her wet clothes, changed into clean clothes, and made herself a bowl of ginger water and drank it.
Ye Li went back to the room, changed into a beautiful dress, and combed her hair again in front of the mirror.
As he is about to meet his father, Ye Li wants to face him in the best possible state.
"Ye Li and I are going out for a while. You can make something for yourself at noon today!" Zhao Xingmei also wanted to meet Ye Li's biological father, so she accompanied Ye Li to the guesthouse and told Jiang Jingshan to solve his own lunch at noon.
"Why are you going out again after just coming back? Isn't Ye Li tired? Why don't you stay at home and have a good rest instead of going out?" Jiang Jingshan looked at his wife running out back and forth like stars passing the moon, and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Something big happened! There's no time to explain it to you now. Wait until we come back!" Zhao Xingmei was also a little excited. She took the money and put it in her pocket and hurried to find Ye Li.
In order to save time, the two took a taxi and went straight to the Red Star Guesthouse, and they soon arrived at the destination.
Nie Fan ate a bowl of noodles at the noodle stand next to the guesthouse. When he saw Ye Li and Zhao Xingmei coming, he ran over quickly.
"How is it? Is my dad still here?"
"Yes! I just asked the front desk, it's in the first room on the second floor."
"Let's go! Hurry up and go up!" Ye Li couldn't wait to see his father.
