âThere, I met a little girl about my age. She said her name was Le Wan.â
At that time, Zhai Jing was anxious to go home and give the still-warm bun to his mother. When he saw the little girl crying in the corner, he couldnât bear to leave. He walked over and asked her what had happened.
Little Le Wan said that she was with the nanny at home, but for some reason, she woke up in this strange place. She was lost here and couldnât find her parents, so she cried in fear.
Zhai Jing was a little braver than her.
âIâm lost too. Letâs go out and find the way, okay?â
He wanted to take her out and hand her over to the police.
Little Le Wanâs face was wrinkled from crying. She burped and replied,
âOkay.â
Thus, the two children held hands and walked around for a long time before they finally found the gate of the community. The two of them immediately became happy. However, an accident happened. Little Le Wan accidentally tripped over a brick and her head hit half of the steel bar, leaving a big cut. Blood flowed out non-stop.
Little Le Wan was so frightened that she cried out loud. Zhai Jing wasnât afraid either. He quickly helped her up.
âThereâs so much blood. We have to go to the hospital.â
However, Little Le Wan hadnât only hit her head but also sprained her ankle when she fell just now. She couldnât walk at all. At that time, Zhai Jing was like a bean sprout. He tried several times but could not carry her on his back.
Zhai Jing had no choice but to say,
âWait for me here. Iâll get the police to come over.â
Zhai Jing bit his lip and ran out after he heard Little Le Wan crying and saying,
âDonât leave me behind.â
He didnât remember how long it took him to find the police station. He only remembered that when he rushed over with the police, Little Le Wan was nowhere to be seen. There were only a few buns he was carrying and the silver bracelet on her wrist left on the ground.
Little Le Wan had taken it off her wrist and handed it to him when she heard that his mother was sick but didnât have the money to treat her illness.
âMy mother said that gold and silver can be exchanged for money. This is silver.â
Little Le Wan didnât know how much silver was worth. She had only heard from her mother that this bracelet was specially made by her grandmother when she was born. She had even asked a master to bless it. It was especially precious, so she thought that this necklace should be very valuable.
Zhai Jing recalled,
âAt that time, the police searched the neighborhood several times but couldnât find anyone. They thought I was lying and even taught me a lesson.â
However, it was also because of this incident that the police learned about their familyâs predicament and helped him send his mother to the hospital. They also contacted the Womenâs Federation and the community to help them apply for a minimum living allowance and subsidies, allowing them to tide over the difficulties.
âInitially, I thought that I would never meet that little girl again. It wasnât until I came to Mingcheng High School, heard Le Wanâs name, and saw Le Wanâs appearance that I finally confirmed that she was that little girl.â
However, the other party didnât recognize him. He knew that she was the daughter of the Le family and that she had an outstanding fiancé. He understood that the two of them were from different worlds, so he didnât acknowledge her. If it wasnât for the rear-end accident, which Le Wan had personally handled, the two of them would probably not have had any interactions.
Zhai Jing looked at Le Wan, his eyes were filled with an unshakeable passion.
âIâm telling you this not because I want you to be sad or disappointed, but because I donât want to hide it from you. I also want to tell you that I did get in touch with you because of Little Le Wan in the beginning, but I only truly fell in love with you after spending time with you.â
When Le Wan first heard him talk about his past, she was very sad. However, as she listened, she felt that something was wrong. She didnât care about Zhai
Jingâs affectionate confession and gulped.
âMay I ask, whatâs the name of that abandoned residential area?
âIt was originally called Jincui Bay, but after it was taken over by other real estate companies, it was renamed Yunshui Bay.â
Le Wan took a deep breath.
âThat little girl. Is the wound on her forehead near the hairline?â She gestured on her head. âItâs about this long.â Zhai Jing thought for a moment.
âItâs indeed similarâ¦
He suddenly realized something and looked at Le Wan in shock.
Le Wan didnât know how to express herself. She was in disbelief and didnât know whether to laugh or cry..
