Chapter 73 - Running Into Jia Xuan
Song Xing Xing was relieved upon knowing that Huo Yun Chen did not blame her for hiding her identity even though she had stood in front of him quite a few times.
After Song Xing Xing had apologized, the two of them chatted for a while about the game. Then, Huo Yun Chen pulled out his phone and the two of them teamed up to deal with some daily quests together.
Surprisingly, Huo Yun Chen was someone who was very easy to get along with. They had only met but Song Xing Xing thought that chatting with Huo Yun Chen made her feel as if the two had known each other well for a long time. Perhaps, this was because they have been playing games together for a long time.
It seemed that she was worried over nothing.
The director called Huo Yun Chen to discuss a few things with him. At this time, Song Xing Xing turned to her friend, Liu Yu Sheng, and found that the surprised expression on her face earlier was long gone.
"I did not expect that the two of you are gaming friends," Liu Yu Sheng said. She had watched Huo Yun Chen and Song Xing Xing fighting monsters together and was impressed at the two's coordination.
After watching for a while, Liu Yu Sheng could tell the difference between the people who had played the game for years and a newbie like her.
Liu Yu Sheng heaved a long breath. "I was sprayed with water on my first meeting with my idol face to face. I don't know whether I should be happy or disappointed."
Song Xing Xing laughed.
Seeing that Huo Yun Chen was busy with the director, the two girls decided to head upstairs and continue their work.
Song Xing Xing spoke with Assistant Lin and told her that they have to return to their job. Assistant Lin had Song Xing Xing numbers and they knew that she was working with NEXT Bright Studio.
Later, they could arrange for another meeting where Huo Yun Chen could treat her to a meal.
As she was heading towards the stairs, Song Xing Xing ran into a familiar face.
Because of that person's height, Song Xing Xing did not see him when he had approached her. The little boy bumped into her legs and fell on his butt.
Song Xing Xing froze as she watched the boy sat on the floor. She snapped out of her trance and quickly crouched in front of him to help him stand up. Then, she patted his pants to remove some dirt.
"Are you alright?" Song Xing Xing asked. She heaved a sigh upon noticing that the boy did not cry. Worried that the boy might be in pain, Song Xing Xing lifted her head to look at him. Her eyes widened upon recognizing that boy. "It's you."
Previously, Song Xing Xing had met this boy in the garden nearby her apartment. At that time, she was playing games and the music from that game had attracted him to come to her. Coincidentally, the boy has been playing 'Legend of the Sky' as well and he wanted to watch as Song Xing Xing killed some monsters.
"Big sister." The boy stared at Song Xing Xing with his bright eyes. There was a mix of surprise and relief in his expression.
"You know him?" Liu Yu Sheng asked.
Song Xing Xing nodded. "Kind of." She looked at the boy again and tried to locate his mother. However, she could not see the woman that she had seen the last time. "Yu Sheng, you go ahead. I will accompany this boy and look for his mother."
Liu Yu Sheng glanced at the boy. She thought about her piling works. Since she had left the office for too long, Liu Yu Sheng did not reject her friend's words. "Then, I will go upstairs first. If you need anything, just call me, alright?"
"Un. I know." Song Xing Xing watched as her friend walked up the stairs before she turned to the boy again. "Where's your mother? Did you come over here with your mother?"
"Hmm…" He raised her head and looked around. However, Jia Xuan could not see his mother. His heartbeat accelerated and he tried his best to calm down. "I don't know. She should be around here somewhere."
Jia Xian remembered what his uncle had told him earlier. If he ran into trouble, he should find a guard. Jia Xuan saw the lanyard card around the big sister's neck and recognized the logo on it.
It was the logo of his uncle's company.
"Big sister, are you a staff here?"
Song Xing Xing followed the boy's gaze and looked at the lanyard card. "Hmm… you're right. I work here."
"Then, big sister, could you help me find my mother or uncle? I came here together with my mother and my uncle," the boy said. "I heard that the big brother from that game is here as well. I came to meet him."
"That big brother from the game? You mean, Huo Yun Chen?"
"Big sister, you know him as well? Oh, wait. You play that game too. Of course, you would know him as well."
Song Xing Xing chuckled. She raised her lanyard card and showed her name written on it. "Little boy, my name is Song Xing Xing." What is your name?"
"Big sister, my name is Jia Xuan. I am six years old." Jia Xuan bit at his lips before he spoke again. "Actually, I got separated from my mother after I went to look for that big brother."
"Jia Xuan, did you know that it's dangerous for you to run around alone?"
"I know." Just now, that big brother was so close to him. Jia Xuan wanted to tell his mother that he wanted to meet that big brother, but his mother was talking to other people. He did not want to disturb them. This was the reason why Jia Xuan decided to find that big brother on his own.
Unfortunately, he could no longer see that big brother and was now separated from his mother.
Seeing the boy's expression, Song Xing Xing knew that the boy was regretting his earlier choice. Song Xing Xing stood up and held the boy's hand. "Come on.. I'll help you go find your mother."
