“There, I met a little girl about my age. She said her name was Le Wan.”

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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t find her parents, so she cried in fear.

Zhai Jing was a little braver than her.

“I’m lost too. Let’s go out and find the way, okay?”

He wanted to take her out and hand her over to the police.

Little Le Wan’s face was wrinkled from crying. She burped and replied,

“Okay.”

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 wasn’t afraid either. He quickly helped her up.

“There’s so much blood. We have to go to the hospital.”

However, Little Le Wan hadn’t only hit her head but also sprained her ankle when she fell just now. She couldn’t 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,

“Wait for me here. I’ll get the police to come over.”

Zhai Jing bit his lip and ran out after he heard Little Le Wan crying and saying,

“Don’t leave me behind.”

He didn’t 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 didn’t have the money to treat her illness.

“My mother said that gold and silver can be exchanged for money. This is silver.”

Little Le Wan didn’t 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,

“At that time, the police searched the neighborhood several times but couldn’t find anyone. They thought I was lying and even taught me a lesson.”

However, it was also because of this incident that the police learned about their family’s predicament and helped him send his mother to the hospital. They also contacted the Women’s Federation and the community to help them apply for a minimum living allowance and subsidies, allowing them to tide over the difficulties.

“Initially, I thought that I would never meet that little girl again. It wasn’t until I came to Mingcheng High School, heard Le Wan’s name, and saw Le Wan’s appearance that I finally confirmed that she was that little girl.”

However, the other party didn’t 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 didn’t acknowledge her. If it wasn’t 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.

“I’m telling you this not because I want you to be sad or disappointed, but because I don’t 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.”

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 didn’t care about Zhai

Jing’s affectionate confession and gulped.

“May I ask, what’s the name of that abandoned residential area?

“It was originally called Jincui Bay, but after it was taken over by other real estate companies, it was renamed Yunshui Bay.”

Le Wan took a deep breath.

“That little girl. Is the wound on her forehead near the hairline?” She gestured on her head. “It’s about this long.” Zhai Jing thought for a moment.

“It’s indeed similar…

He suddenly realized something and looked at Le Wan in shock.

Le Wan didn’t know how to express herself. She was in disbelief and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry..
