“You’re right, Qingqing. We’re not related to him, and we can’t protect Xiaolong forever and let him live in a false world. We must let him know the truth and help him grow up.”
As for smoking, I only recently learned. I just feel that when socializing with people, if we don't smoke, we won't have anything in common to talk about. Don't worry, I don't even smoke a pack of cigarettes a week!
After discussing it, the two decided to tell Xiaolong about his mother the next day. They knew it was a very cruel truth for Xiaolong, but they also believed that he had enough courage and strength to face this reality.
The next day, after school, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu went to the security company to see if he had finished his homework before calling him upstairs to his room.
Seeing their serious expressions, Xiaolong felt uneasy.
"Xiaolong, we have something to tell you," Song Ziqing said softly.
Xiao Long's face turned pale; he seemed to have guessed what was going on. "Is it about Mom?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu exchanged a glance, then nodded. "Yes, Xiaolong. Your mother has passed away," Song Ziqing said gently.
Tears streamed down Xiaolong's face instantly. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word. Song Ziqing gently hugged him, letting him cry in her arms.
“Xiaolong, we know this is very unfair to you, but your mother is a very brave person. She gave her life to save you. She hopes that you can become a strong child and face the difficulties in life on your own.”
Xiao Long raised his head, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness. "What should I do? I don't have a mother anymore, what should I do?"
Lin Chengyu walked over, squatted down in front of Xiaolong, and said softly, "Xiaolong, although your mother is gone, she will always be in your heart. You must remember that your mother was a very brave person, and she gave everything for you. You must be strong, study hard, live a good life, and not let your mother down."
The two men watched as Xiaolong cried and cried, tears streaming down his face as if they didn't care about money. They felt sorry for him, but in this era, everyone was in a bad situation, and there were too many pitiful people.
Xiao Long is pitiful, but he met this couple, and they plan to support him in his future life and studies. As long as he behaves well, his life will be better than many others.
So the two of them didn't stay with him all the time. They told the nanny to check on him occasionally, and then they went home.
They planned to return to Hainan tomorrow; they still wanted to get their lives back on track there. That night, lying in bed, Song Ziqing said to Lin Chengyu, "Xiaoyu, wherever we live, the other city seems to be at a standstill. I don't know how that works!"
Lin Chengyu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we have experienced time travel and rebirth, and I have also made a contract with the ancestral ring, which means that this world is not the original world that we thought it was. Maybe it is just a parallel space."
Song Ziqing sighed, "If it really is a parallel universe, then are we already dead in our original world?"
Lin Chengyu held Song Ziqing's hand. "Ziqing, regardless of whether this world is a parallel universe or not, the fact that we can be reborn and travel through time means that we have a new life and a new way of living. We should cherish this opportunity and live well."
Song Ziqing looked at Lin Chengyu and said, "Xiaoyu, you're right. Now that we've come to this world, we have to adapt to its rules and find our own way to survive."
Lin Chengyu nodded. "Ziqing, you're right. We need to learn to accept everything in this world, including our fate."
Song Ziqing gently hugged Lin Chengyu, "Xiaoyu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have given up long ago."
Lin Chengyu hugged Song Ziqing, saying, "Ziqing, don't say that. We are family, and we must face the challenges of this world together."
The two slept in each other's arms; in this unfamiliar world, they were each other's only support.
Thinking of this, Song Ziqing suddenly said, "Xiaoyu, we can still travel freely between Hong Kong and Hainan. Why don't we go back to Hainan tomorrow and put the Tang tri-color pottery around to see if it can be the key to our travel between the two places?"
If it really were a key, it wouldn't be fixed in one place. After all, we found the Tang Dynasty tri-colored pottery in Kowloon Walled City before, and we brought it back to the villa and used it normally.”
"Are you planning to carry Tang Sancai with you so you can bring your parents to Hong Kong?" Lin Chengyu was very clever and saw through her plan at a glance.
Her expression was somewhat somber, and she nodded slightly.
Tang tri-colored pottery is now her most precious treasure, her jewel in embracing freedom, and something she has always regarded as the most valuable thing.
Now that her life is stable, she can't wait to bring her parents to Hong Kong so they can have a better life.
“Yes, our lives have settled down now, and I want to hurry up and set off from Hainan to pick them up and take them directly to Hong Kong!” Her voice was full of anticipation and excitement.
She hadn't seen her parents in a long time and had been worried about their lives. Now that she finally had the chance to give them a better life, she couldn't wait to make her plan a reality.
Looking into her eyes, Lin Chengyu felt a surge of understanding and sympathy. He knew she missed her parents dearly and had been working hard to support them. He gently took her hand and said softly, "I know you really want to bring Mom and Dad to Hong Kong, but you also know that we've tried before, and I can't bring anyone else besides you."
Her eyes dimmed instantly. She knew Lin Chengyu was telling the truth; they had tried once before, but failed.
She sighed softly, "What should I do? I really want to bring them to live with me and give them a better life. I have a feeling that they are my biological parents!"
Looking into her eyes, Lin Chengyu felt a pang of guilt. He knew he couldn't let her down; he had to come up with a solution. He thought for a moment, then suddenly an idea struck him: "Perhaps we can try using the power of Tang Sancai (Tang tri-colored pottery)."
Her eyes lit up immediately, "The power of Tang Sancai?"
Lin Chengyu nodded. "We've tried before. You can use the power of Tang Sancai to take me away. Perhaps you can also use its power to take Mom and Dad away."
Her eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement. "Really? Let's try it!"
