Maybe it was because everyone drank some wine at night and chatted late. I arranged a room for Zhang Xuejuan and her daughter. I was so tired that I just wanted to grab the bed, so I lay down and fell asleep.
While I was sleeping soundly, there was a sudden and rapid knock on my door, which startled me and caused my heart to beat wildly.
I quickly got up and walked out to open the door, and saw Zhang Xuejuan standing in front of me with a panic look on her face.
"Danni... I'm sorry, I... I can't find Tingnan!" She said hesitantly, tears about to fall.
"What's going on?" When I heard her words, I was a little confused. "You said... Ting Nan? Is she no longer in the room?"
Zhang Xuejuan shook her head helplessly and wiped her face, "No, she...she didn't come back after she went out!"
I'm even more confused, what do you mean you went out and didn't come back?
"Where did she go?" I asked.
I glanced at Sambo on the bed. He was sleeping soundly. He quickly walked out of the room, pulled Zhang Xuejuan to sit down in the small living room on the corridor, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, tell me slowly, what is going on?"
She nervously clutched a corner of her pajamas, "That's right... after we returned to the room, we were lying on the bed chatting. She told me that she wanted to be here and study here!" The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, revealing her true nature. Her true appearance.
"Then what?" I asked.
"Then I said that won't work. After all, this is not..." She raised her eyes and glanced at me when she said this.
I know exactly what she means.
"Then she lost her temper and said that here is a better place to study than having a family atmosphere, and she has friends here! She doesn't even have friends at home." Zhang Xuejuan's tears rolled down her eyes. .
"What she said is right. She also told me this issue. Just today when I was waiting for you to get off the car, she told me that she didn't want to go back and wanted to stay here.
But I don’t dare to be your master, this idea is up to you! There is actually no problem in staying here to go to school. What I am worried about is you. After all, your relationship with Deng Jiafeng..." I hesitated and did not continue, but I knew Zhang Xuejuan understood what I meant.
I continued, "She depends on you for life, so I don't dare to leave her here and let you stay alone in Qingcheng!" I made my meaning clear to Zhang Xuejuan.
"She was quarreling with me just because of this. In fact, I thought the same way, so I tried to reason with her, but she didn't listen and ran away as soon as I tried to force her out. She also said, "Can't we just let her make her own decision for once?" If he said he couldn't, she...she would run away!" Zhang Xuejuan was a little anxious.
She grabbed me and said, "I just looked at Dabao's room, and there was no...no! I'm not familiar with this place. I also went downstairs to look for it, but I couldn't find it."
At this moment, Chi Xi walked out rubbing his eyes, "What's going on?"
I told her, "Look quickly, Tingnan may have run away!"
Chi Xi was suddenly startled, "Running out? When!"
"Don't ask so many questions now. Let's look for her separately to see if she is in other rooms. It's so late, she shouldn't run out! She should still be in the yard." I told Chi Xi, "Left My right!"
"Okay!" Chi Xi said and walked out to the corridor on the left.
I pulled Zhang Xuejuan downstairs from the right side. As I went downstairs, I persuaded her, "Don't worry, she has been here for a month and is very familiar with this place. It will be okay. I don't think she will run out!"
"Hey... I, hey! I'm causing trouble for you!" Zhang Xuejuan accompanied her and said carefully, "I don't know who this child's character is. He is very stubborn. Don't look at him silently, but She has great ideas, but many times I can’t do anything with her!”
I searched from room to room while comforting Zhang Xuejuan.
But when Chi Xi and I met at the front door of the front hall, we didn't see Ting Nan's shadow.
Zhang Xuejuan's face was already a little pale, and she kept apologizing to me.
"Sister-in-law, now is not the time to apologize. Don't worry. It doesn't matter. What are you apologizing for? What child doesn't have a little temper!" I said this, but I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
It was so late and she was no longer in the yard, so where could she go? Unexpectedly, this kid really has an idea.
