“Why are you pulling me?” The big man over 1.8 meters tall was looking at Ye Moxuan and acting all coy.
“I haven’t bid farewell to my good friend yet. After today, I don’t know when I’ll get to see you again. That stinky old man at my house is keeping a close watch on me so it might be hard for me to visit you guys in China. Yuchi, even though we weren’t friends for long, don’t you feel even the least bit reluctant to leave?”
Ye Moxuan looked up at him with a bleak expression. “No. Get lost.”
“F*ck, what a ‘great’ friend you are! Let me tell you this, Yuchi. If it weren’t for Muzi, I would have ended this friendship for real!”
Han Muzi pulled on Ye Moxuan’s arm and smiled at George. “He’s just messing with you. He’ll always remember you. We’ll head off now then, George, Rory, Mr. Yu. I believe we’ll meet again very soon.”
“Hmph.” George looked away. Han Muzi saw that his eyes had turned red and she was moved. This guy, George, is a pretty decent person.
At that moment, Ye Moxuan seemed to have noticed as well. The cold hard lines on his face finally had a hint of movement as he looked to him and called, “George”.
George suddenly straightened up and turned his head around at Ye Moxuan in excitement. “Yeah?”
“Thank you for all this time.” Then, Ye Moxuan turned around and walked away without waiting for George’s reaction.
Han Muzi, who was waiting, smiled as she watched them, then quickly followed after him.
George froze in place. He thought he was hallucinating because, how else did he hear the words ‘thank you’ from Yuchi?
“Wake up.” George pulled himself back when he heard Rory’s voice. But the person who was standing in front of him earlier was now far away. George cursed and wanted to chase after them, but Rory held him back. “Where are you going? They’re about to go through security.”
He looked at her. “Did you hear that just now? Yuchi thanked me, didn’t he?”
She could not resist rolling her eyes at him and nodded. “Yes, he did. Why are you so excited?”
Of course he was excited. That apathetic Yuchi actually opened his mouth to thank him. I suddenly feel like all the time I spent with him was worth it! Wait, hold on… How did I forget the most important thing?
“Oh no. I came here today because I wanted to see Yuchi and Muzi’s child. But where did he go? How did I not even catch a glimpse of him?”
Just then, Rory turned to look in the direction they left in and realized that there was no silhouette of a child—just a few adults. “That’s weird. Wasn’t the child by their side earlier? How did he disappear all of a sudden?”
“Did you see him? How did I miss it?”
Rory nodded. “I saw him. He looks a lot like President Yuchi. How did you not see him?” It doesn’t make sense. She wrinkled her forehead as she looked at the crowd that was leaving and started to feel odd. There was no child next to them now, but she saw him earlier. What was happening? George is saying that he didn’t see him because he was probably only focused on Yuchi and did not pay any attention to that short and small cutie. But now, I’m thinking I was mistaken.
Yu Bo overheard their conversation and quickly remembered something. He looked in the direction that Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan left for a while before feeling like something was amiss. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “W-Where did Little Young Master go? He was right here a moment ago! Where is he now?”
George asked, “You saw him?”
Rory let out a sigh of relief—at least she was not the only one who saw him. If she was the only one who saw him while everyone else did not, then she would have been too scared to fall asleep that night.
“I saw him. I even personally handed him a gift that Old Master Yuchi prepared. How did he disappear in just a blink of an eye? This won’t do. I have to go and let them know!”
Just then, Rory pulled Yu Bo back. “Mr. Yu, don’t panic. I’m sure we’re not the only ones who realized. It’s possible that the child walked off ahead and is blocked by the others. Look, they don’t seem like they’ve noticed anything yet. It should be fine, right?”
“No, it’s not fine. This isn’t a small matter!” Yu Bo took out his phone and made a call as he headed in their direction.
George and Rory could not sit back and watch Yu Bo in his panicked state. They stepped forward and held him back. “Mr. Yu, it’s not good for you to chase after them in your old age. How about you wait here and I’ll go ask around?”
After pondering for a moment, Yu Bo nodded. “Okay. You have to hurry and make sure to ask concisely. It would be a disaster if this child really goes missing.”
“No problem.” George and Rory made eye contact then quickened their pace to catch up to them.
Yu Bo stood and waited anxiously where he was. He wanted to call Ye Moxuan but the line was busy. With George and Rory off to find them, his only option was to stay in place and wait. After some time, Yu Bo suddenly heard a child-like voice coming from behind him. “Uncle Yu.”
That voice sounded awfully familiar. Yu Bo turned back reflexively and found a small Little Bean standing in front of him.
“Little Bean?” Yu Bo was so surprised that his voice was slightly louder. “W-What are you doing here? Your daddy and mommy already went through security. Where did you run off to earlier? Alright, let’s go and not waste any more time here. I’ll take you to your parents immediately; otherwise, you’ll miss the flight.” He went up and grabbed Little Bean’s hand then hurriedly pulled him in a different direction. Unexpectedly, Little Bean stayed where he was and did not budge. “Uncle Yu, you’re going in the wrong direction. We should go that way.”
Worried that Yu Bo was unaware, Little Bean pointed outside the airport. Yu Bo was taken aback and did not understand what Little Bean meant. “Little Bean, you’re pointing the wrong way. That’s outside the airport. Security is that way.”
“Yeah, that’s right.” Little Bean nodded. “It’s outside the airport. Uncle Yu, I already put my luggage in your car.”
Yu Bo was stunned. Why does this feel even more off? Little Bean was always smart. But now he’s saying that he put his luggage in my car? W-What’s going on? Yu Bo stared blankly at Little Bean.
“I’ve decided to stay here and accompany Great-Grandfather, Uncle Yu!”
“What?”
“Mommy and Daddy also agreed. Let’s go home and see Great-Grandfather now.”
Yu Bo was completely dumbstruck by his words. His original plan was to send them off at the airport then go home after that. Who knew Little Bean would…
