Qiao Zihao’s face was pale. He looked at Xiao Ying’s face in a daze and staggered backwards.

Xiao Ying looked at him in horror and caught him right before he hit the ground.

“Qiao Zihao…”

As she called out to him, he completely closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

Xiao Ying thought that he had fallen ill again and took him home. She felt furious that she did not get to see Cheng Yang, but she still gave Qiao Zihao a check-up. After confirming that he was fine, she left him alone in his room.

When Qiao Zihao woke up, he saw a glass of water by the table. It was obvious who left it there. He smiled sweetly. Just then, the door opened and Xiao Ying was holding a bowl of porridge. When she saw that he had woken up, she paused and said, “I came to see if you were awake. Have this.”

Qiao Zihao obediently took the bowl and smiled. “Thank you, Sister.”

Xiao Ying coughed uncomfortably and said, “Don’t think too much. I’m just afraid that if you die, no one will take me to Cheng Yang.”

Qiao Zihao lowered his head dejectedly, looking like an abandoned dog.

Xiao Ying could not bear to see him like this. She wanted to touch his head but forced herself to suppress this thought.

She said, “When are you taking me to look for Cheng Yang?”

With a grave expression, Qiao Zihao said, “Not yet. It’s not time yet.”

Xiao Ying frowned. “Did you go back on your word because I didn’t take you to the amusement park? I’ll take you there tomorrow, but you have to take me to Cheng Yang.”

Qiao Zihao wanted to deny it, but Xiao Ying had already walked out the door.

He hugged the porcelain bowl tightly and thought greedily, I won’t explain. Just this once.

The next day, Qiao Zihao was extremely excited. He changed into another set of clothes, holding two bags in his hands. He ran over to Xiao Ying and asked, “Sister, do you think I should wear this yellow bag or this black one?”

Xiao Ying swept her gaze across these two bags that had no difference in color and said perfunctorily, “Whatever.”

However, Qiao Zihao did not mind her perfunctory attitude. He said excitedly, “I think it should be this yellow one.”

After saying that, he even secretly looked at Xiao Ying’s yellow top and chuckled.

The two of them went out and bumped into Wang Feiran.

“Ying’er, I have something I need your help with. Do you have time?” She looked a little anxious, and Xiao Ying hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

The glint in Qiao Zihao’s eyes instantly disappeared. He subconsciously clutched the strap of his yellow backpack and lowered his head without saying a word.

Feeling a little apologetic, Xiao Ying quickly said, “Zihao, I’ll call Qiao Na. She’ll come and pick you up later. I’ll pick you up at night.”

Qiao Zihao did not speak, but Xiao Ying had already left.

He hugged his backpack and squatted by the door, looking in the direction Xiao Ying had left in.

It was only when Qiao Na came to pick him up that he wiped the expression off his face and returned home with her.

Qiao Na looked at her son. Although they had lived together for many years, she had never understood this child. She took the initiative to ask, “The person you’ve been talking about that you wanted to find is Xiao Ying?”

Once, Qiao Zihao had talked in his sleep. After hearing what he said, she had known that her son was not normal.

Qiao Zihao nodded and said, “Mom, I have to leave soon.”

Qiao Na’s eyes reddened. “Do what you want. Mommy will always support you.”

Qiao Zihao looked at the woman beside him and smiled at her for the first time. He even took the initiative to hug her.

This instantly broke Qiao Na’s defenses. With reddened eyes, she said, “Mommy really loves you.”

Qiao Zihao was stunned. Love?

The word was unfamiliar to him..
