Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

It was already 1 PM by the time He Xiyan disembarked from the bus with Yuan Yuan. The weather at Chuan City was much better than the weather at Ye City. The sun shone brightly in the sky and it was very warm.

Yuan Yuan’s eyes were wide open as he took in his surroundings. Both the place and the people around him were completely unfamiliar to him and there were so many people around.

“Ma ma...” Yuan Yuan put his head on her shoulder and balled his tiny hands into fists.

He Xiyan carried Yuan Yuan out of the bus station. She was not familiar with this city and had only visited this city once or twice when she was still studying. This was a second-tier city but it still had a large population of more than 10 million. It was also very messy and it was also rumored to be the city with the most persistent salespeople.

The moment she stepped out of the station, she ran into a lot of people trying to sell things to her. There were men, women, the elderly and the young and they were all asking if she was trying to get to a certain place, listing several country-level cities or towns.

She ignored all these salespeople and quickly dodged all this people while carrying Yuan Yuan in her arms. Then, she suddenly realized that the woman who sat beside her on the bus was trailing behind her.

As she increased her walking speed, so did the woman behind her. When she slowed, the woman slowed down as well. The woman kept a distance of about 10 meters between them, as though she was doing it deliberately.

She realized that something was wrong and walked even faster with Yuan Yuan in her arms. She only stopped when she arrived at a nearby police station.

She put Yuan Yuan down and held his hand tightly as she dug out her phone with her free hand to call her classmate Xu Jing and told her where she was.

She had sent her classmate a text message 40 minutes ago and requested Xu Jing to come and pick her up. This was a city that she was unfamiliar with and barely knew any people here, so she was exceptionally careful.

After she hung up, she looked around and saw that the woman was still loitering several meters away, as though she was waiting for her to leave.

She couldn’t tell what this woman wanted, so she couldn’t find a reason to lodge a police report. She scooped Yuan Yuan into her arms once more and refused to let him down even though her arms were aching.

Yuan Yuan looked dazed as he watched the passing people and cars curiously. He did not know where he was and where the aunties from the castle were either.

“Ma ma...hungry...” Yuan Yuan pouted sadly since it had been a few hours since he had last eaten.

He Xiyan looked at her son tenderly. It was already afternoon and even she was already feeling a little faint from hunger, let alone a child like Yuan Yuan.

“Yuan Yuan, be good. Once we get to aunty’s house, we’d be able to eat,” He Xiyan comforted her child. She had prepared food for Yuan Yuan but all the food that she brought had to be cooked with hot water, so she couldn’t do it by the roadside.

Around 10 minutes later, a white Volkswagen suddenly stopped by the roadside.

A young woman rolled down the window and waved at He Xiyan as she yelled, “Get in!” She wasn’t supposed to stop here.

He Xiyan quickly got into the car with Yuan Yuan and slammed the car door shut. The moment she shut the car door, that woman finally turned and walked back toward the bus station.

“You’re so brave!” The woman who was known as Xu Jing said as she started the engine and turned around to look at her university classmate. They were roommates when they were at university and they had often gone shopping together at Ye City. She had only returned to her hometown after breaking up with her fiancée and was now working at a public service company.
