Chi Xiuke quickly asked the question that concerned her most about her friend who was looking at her eagerly.
…
"Um."
Not surprisingly, Xiao Xiao received a call from Chi Xiuke.
"He's with me."
…
"I'm with you."
Chi Xiuke breathed a sigh of relief.
There is another feeling that this is indeed the case.
She blinked at Xie Chuchu.
The mouth opens and closes silently: Xue Jiamin is with Master Xiao.
…
Xie Chuchu nodded.
She heard it.
A relaxed smile appeared on her face.
That kid is really with Master Xiao.
That's good.
It scared her to death.
She almost thought the child was missing.
…
"where are you?"
Chi Xiuke changed the subject and asked again.
Xie Chuchu on the side looked relaxed and focused again.
But then she twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.
No...the two boys really went to the bathroom, right?
Could she and Xiuxiu have guessed correctly again?
…
"Xiuxiu."
Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.
"Xue Jiamin met a friend."
"We're going to stay here for a while."
"Please wait a moment."
"Maybe you should go back to the hotel first."
"We will meet you at the hotel later."
…
"ah?"
Chi Xiuke was a little surprised.
friend?
She nodded.
"OK."
"Master Xiao, we..."
She looked at Xie Chuchu.
"Chuchu, Xue Jiamin met a friend-"
"friend?"
Xie Chuchu couldn't help but interrupt Chi Xiuke's words.
Does the kid have friends here?
Except this time, the only time she remembered that child was when a large number of their relatives came to Yanjing for a trip when she was just admitted to college.
The child also came with his parents.
Were they friends we met at that time?
Or is it a former classmate who transferred to Yanjing?
Thinking about it this way...
The surprise in Xie Chuchu's heart faded away.
On the contrary, I felt a little happy for the child.
Anyway, it's rare to meet friends here.
The child should feel quite happy, right?
Xie Chuchu couldn't help but curl her lips.
…
"Um."
Chi Xiuke nodded.
"Master Xiao asked us to wait here or go back to the hotel first."
"Which one do you choose?"
…
Xie Chuchu subconsciously wanted to ask them not to go find them?
But the next second, she understood Master Xiao's kindness.
Master Xiao doesn’t want them to take these roads more, right?
Maybe when they walked over, Master Xiao and the child would come face to face.
She is relieved about Master Xiao.
She thought about it.
"Let's go back to the hotel and wait for them."
The hotel is the final destination for all of them anyway.
Let them meet there.
…
Chi Xiuke nodded towards Xie Chuchu.
"Master Xiao, we are waiting for you at the hotel."
…
"Xiuxiu, remind Master Xiao to pay attention to the time."
Suddenly thinking of something, Xie Chuchu pointed to the time on her phone.
She was worried that the child would become so excited to chat with his friends that he would forget the reality that his time was limited.
"Xue Jiamin will take the bus to the airport at two o'clock in the afternoon."
…
Chi Xiuke nodded again.
clear.
…
"OK."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "I will watch the time."
"Xue Jiamin will not be late."
…
"Master Xiao, goodbye."
Chi Xiuke put away her cell phone.
She looked at Xie Chuchu.
Xie Chuchu already knew the basic situation, so she wouldn’t go into details.
"Chu Chu, let's go back to the hotel first."
…
"good."
Xie Chuchu took steps forward.
…
"Fortunately, Master Xiao came with us this time."
Xie Chuchu suddenly seemed to feel something.
…
"ah?"
Chi Xiuke was a little unresponsive.
…
"Otherwise, we would most likely be anxiously looking for the child now."
Xie Chuchu spread his hands.
"Maybe we have to call the police."
"I was so focused on the phone just now that I really didn't feel at all when the child disappeared."
She was too careless.
She felt a little upset about this.
…
"I didn't notice either."
Chi Xiuke frowned slightly.
Blame yourself for your slowness.
Just forget it if Chu Chu is on the phone.
Although nothing happened to her, she didn't even notice when Xue Jiamin and Master Xiao disappeared...
She was the one who went too far.
…
"Hey, hey."
Xie Chuchu waved her hands hurriedly.
"Xiuxiu, I don't blame you at all."
"Don't think so wildly."
"Besides, nothing happened?"
It was just a false alarm.
"I just want to express that we are very lucky."
"What's really wrong is my negligence as a sister."
"What does it have to do with you?"
…
"alright."
Seeing that Chi Xiuke was about to speak, Xie Chuchu made a stop gesture.
"Let's not admit each other's mistakes here."
"It's okay anyway."
"When I see Master Xiao later, I will thank him very much."
"By the way, why am I so attentive on the phone?"
Xie Chuchu reached out and touched her chin.
"When the child and Master Xiao separated from us, I really didn't hear any sound..."
Is this true?
They were not on the side of a busy and noisy road, but in a quiet, sparsely populated grove.
Xie Chuchu rubbed her ears.
For the first time, she wondered... was her hearing not very good?
…
"I'm confused too."
Chi Xiuke smiled bitterly.
As she said before, Chu Chu could be forgiven for not finding out.
But she wasn't on the phone.
How did she manage to not notice when the people around her disappeared?
It would be fine if it was just Master Xiao.
With Master Xiao, anything is possible.
But at the same time, the child Xue Jiamin was also missing.
Was she distracted before?
…
"Oops~"
Xie Chuchu shook her head.
"forget about it."
"Humans always make mistakes."
"It was an accident."
"There is no reason."
"Just pay attention next time."
"Ah, Xiuxiu."
Xie Chuchu stretched out her hand and pointed forward.
"look."
“The hotel is right in front.”
…
Xiao Xiao put away his phone.
He raised his eyes.
Xue Jiamin was still glaring at Zhu Jian.
There was a slight smile in his eyes.
"Xue Jiamin."
He told the child Xie Chuchu's reminder that Chi Xiuke had just relayed.
"Watch the time."
"You're going to the airport later."
…
Xue Jiamin was startled.
Yes.
He will take the bus to the airport later...
The teacher also specifically told him not to be late and asked him to go back to the hotel early to pack his luggage and check out.
He was anxious for a moment.
I just felt that my whole body was tense due to anxiety.
…
"Do not worry."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and pressed gently on the child's head.
