Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu were overjoyed to see that Xiaolong had agreed. They felt they had made the right decision.
They knew that Xiaolong needed someone to be with him and take care of him. They were willing to be his temporary family and give him a warm home.
"Xiaolong, don't worry, we'll treat you like our own younger brother. If you need anything or have any difficulties, just tell us. We'll do our best to help you," Song Ziqing said gently.
“Yes, Xiaolong, don’t feel lonely or helpless. We are all your friends and your family,” Lin Chengyu said with a smile.
Xiao Long felt a warmth in his heart after hearing what Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu said.
He felt that he was no longer alone; he had two older brothers and sisters who would accompany him, take care of him, and protect him.
"Thank you, brothers and sisters. You've been so kind to me. I don't know how to repay you," Xiaolong said, deeply moved.
“Xiaolong, you don’t need to repay us. Just be a child with light in your heart. We hope you can grow up happily and live a fulfilling life,” Song Ziqing said.
“Yes, Xiaolong, just remember, no matter what happens, you must always have hope for life,” Lin Chengyu said.
"Brother and sister, I will. I will be a good boy and keep trying to grow up!" Xiaolong promised.
The group wandered around Kowloon Walled City for another half day, but still couldn't find the man Xiaolong had mentioned. As the sun was about to set, Lin Chengyu forcibly pulled Song Ziqing along, and together with Xiaolong and his bodyguards, they drove two cars straight home.
On the way, the two took Xiaolong directly to the security company, settled him in, and then returned to the Song residence in Repulse Bay.
That evening, Song Ziqing went to Lin Chengyu's room and saw him taking care of the Tang tri-colored pottery that the two of them had brought back from Kowloon Walled City.
Tang Sancai is a type of low-temperature glazed pottery, mainly in yellow, green, and white, and is highly loved for its bright glaze and vivid shapes.
This Tang tri-colored pottery piece depicts a young girl riding a horse. She wears a long skirt, holds the reins, and exudes a heroic and spirited air. However, upon closer inspection, it can be observed that the color tone of this Tang tri-colored pottery is lighter than that of ordinary Tang tri-colored pottery, appearing somewhat dull and lackluster.
"Xiaoyu, this Tang tri-color pottery has been ruined so badly. Compared to the Tang tri-color pottery in our Hainan home, the colors are much lighter." Song Ziqing said with a pained expression.
She remembered that the Tang tri-colored pottery in her home depicted a plump young woman, vividly colored and lifelike. She sat gracefully on a fine horse, which was strong and robust, seemingly ready to gallop at any moment.
"Could it be because of this that we can't get back to Hainan through it?" Song Ziqing asked expectantly.
Both of them felt that this Tang tri-colored pottery was the key to their return to Hainan, because when they saw it in Kowloon Walled City, they had a hallucination in which a girl on horseback appeared and guided them to find the way back to Hainan.
Song Ziqing felt that the girl on horseback was the reincarnation of the Tang tri-colored pottery from her home in Hainan, and that she was helping them return to their hometown.
Lin Chengyu shook his head and said, "Probably not, it's just a lighter shade. Fortunately, it's still intact!"
Lin Chengyu believes that the depth of color has no direct connection with function.
He picked up the Tang tri-color pottery and carefully examined every detail. He noticed that some of the glaze had peeled off, revealing the body underneath.
He gently stroked the surface of the pottery with his fingers, feeling its uneven texture. He thought this Tang tri-color pottery might be a work from a certain dynasty, having survived countless storms and wars to reach the present day.
"Perhaps it's waiting for us to clean it up, waiting for the right time to bring it back to Hainan and let it see the light of day again," Lin Chengyu said.
He placed the Tang tri-colored pottery on the table and smiled at it.
He felt that this Tang tri-colored pottery had a soul, and that it could sense their feelings.
As they talked, the two of them fell asleep one after the other. When they woke up again, they found that they had returned to Hainan.
The two were overjoyed, because they discovered that it was already daylight in Hainan.
"We're back! We're back again!"
As soon as Song Ziqing woke up, he jumped up happily.
At this moment, she completely forgot that she and Lin Chengyu were once again in the bathroom.
With that jump, Song Ziqing lost her balance and almost knocked Lin Chengyu down again. Fortunately, this time Lin Chengyu was prepared and stood firmly in a horse stance, holding her steadily in his arms.
Lin Chengyu looked at Song Ziqing in his arms. Her face was full of joy and excitement, and her eyes were sparkling, as if she was full of expectations for the future. His heart softened as well.
He held her tightly, feeling her heartbeat and warm breath, and felt his life become more fulfilling and meaningful.
"Yes, we're back, and it's dawn. It seems we can now travel freely between the two cities!"
Lin Chengyu, thinking that it was already dawn in Hainan and the Song family would be arriving soon, urged Song Ziqing, saying, "Qingqing, let's hurry up and make breakfast. Your nephew will probably be here soon."
"No, no, no, we're still wearing our Hong Kong clothes. We need to go back to our room and change into our old clothes."
As Song Ziqing spoke, he pulled Lin Chengyu toward the bedroom.
Her heart was filled with joy and anticipation. She recalled the time she and Lin Chengyu spent traveling from Shanghai to Hainan, which was actually quite interesting.
We wore old clothes together, cooked together, chatted together, and spent every ordinary yet happy moment together.
They changed their clothes together and came out of the bedroom. Song Ziqing felt the fabric from the mainland and found it somewhat unfamiliar. This fabric wasn't as comfortable as the fabric from Hong Kong; relatively speaking, it felt a bit rough.
Often, there is no harm without comparison.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems that Western countries have already surpassed China in their research on fabrics in recent years."
Lin Chengyu nodded in agreement. He knew that China's fabric industry had indeed developed relatively slowly in recent years, which was a consequence of its closed-door policy.
He said, "However, we cannot deny China's fabric industry because of this. China has a very long history in fabric making."
"We can definitely develop the textile and garment industries in Hong Kong in the future. Haven't you also thought about working part-time as a fashion designer? We can definitely work together to achieve that."
Song Ziqing said with a smile, "That will have to be done slowly. It will be smoother to develop the clothing and textile industry after you have developed the Songlin Group well. The threshold for this industry is much lower, and the upper limit is unlimited."
