Yao Zhichun came to a small hill outside the north city alone.

The hill is actually a small mound that developers left alone to transform the suburb into a recreational mecca.

Yao Zhichun sat on a bench on the mountain, his eyes fixed on the fields below. It had been more than 20 years, Ke Xingjue was only one month old when he was lost, and no one knew what he looked like now, or... if he was still alive.

Yao Zhichun wiped the tears from her face. After so many years of hope and disappointment, Yao Zhichun had long been numb, but she still hoped that Ke Xingjue could come back soon.

That year, Yao Zhichun was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to Ke Xingjue. Ke Zhuojing was overjoyed and bought a hotel to hold a full-month banquet for Ke Xingjue.

Unexpectedly, one of the hotel staff colluded with the human traffickers to steal Ke Xingjue, who had just turned one month old. Although the police later caught the suspect, the human traffickers said that they were worried about the retaliation of the Ke Group and dumped Ke Xingjue on a small roadside. When they went to look for her, there was no trace of her on the roadside.

From that day on, Yao Zhichun withdrew from the management of the Ke Group and devoted himself to looking for Ke Xingjue.

"Woo~" Tears flowed uncontrollably from Yao Zhichun's eyes. This was the suburbs and there were usually not many people around on weekdays. Even if she cried, no one would see her.

Yao Zhichun's crying became louder and louder, like a flood that could not be stopped by anything.

As the North City enters the end of summer, the weather gradually becomes cooler, the air becomes chilly, but the sky remains as blue as ever.

Tong Nuanchen has decided to date Jiangnan and will go out on dates with him whenever she has time.

"Nuanchen, be careful!" Jiangnan held Tong Nuanchen's hand.

Tong Nuanchen's hands had been toiled for years, and they no longer had the delicate and smooth skin of a young girl. But Jiangnan liked to hold them in his hands, and the rubbing feeling on his palms was genuine.

"It's uphill, but it's also flat, so it's okay."

Tong Nuanchen's parents died young, and she had already learned how to stand tall and upright, but she also longed for someone to protect her. She felt sweet in her heart for Jiangnan's protection.

"Even if the road is flat, I'm still worried that you'll fall?"

They walked over to a tree and sat on a bench beneath it.

This hill has many traces of human activity and is more like a small park.

Jiangnan took out some water and handed it to Tong Nuanchen. When Tong Nuanchen was about to drink it, crying sounds came from the woods behind him.

"Who's crying?"

"It should be over there, let's go check it out."

Tong Nuanchen and Jiangnan followed the crying sound and came to the back of the woods.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Tong Nuanchen walked to Yao Zhichun and asked softly.

Yao Zhichun raised his head and looked at Tong Nuanchen with tears in his eyes. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"I...my daughter is lost." Yao Zhichun's throat made a hoarse and painful sound.

"When was it lost? Where was it lost? Do we need to call the police?" Tong Nuanchen glanced at Jiangnan and sat next to Yao Zhichun.

"My daughter has been missing for more than 20 years, woo~"

It turns out that the child has been lost for so many years.

Tong Nuanchen thought of Tong Nuanwan and felt sad.

At the beginning, she and her parents went to the county town to buy clothes. When they walked to the roadside, they heard a child crying in the ditch. Her parents came over to check and found that it was a little girl.

"Damn it, they must have seen that if it was a daughter they would have thrown her away." The mother looked around but it was just a farmland and there was not a single person in sight.

My mother has been married to my father for so many years, but she is the only daughter. My grandparents have long been dissatisfied. My mother is always very excited about the issue of whether it is a boy or a girl.

"What should we do with this child? He can't leave him here!" The father took off his clothes and wrapped them around the child.

"Let's take her back. These must be the black-hearted parents who didn't want her when they saw it was a girl."

"But we already have a child. Should we raise another one?"

"What's wrong with having another one? I don't even know how many children I need to have before I can have a boy."

"That's not what I meant. I don't think we are too rich."

"Take her back. Haven't you seen how miserable the children in the orphanage are on TV? Are girls born to suffer?"

"Maybe the parents will come back to look for him."

"What are you looking for? If you can just dump the child here, why would you come looking for him?"

Dad couldn't persuade mom, so he had to adopt Tong Nuanwan. I don't know if good things come to good people, mom soon got pregnant with a boy, and Tong Nuanwan was regarded as the lucky star of the family.

Tong Nuanchen patted Yao Zhichun on the shoulder.

"Auntie, you have to be strong. Who knows, your daughter might be waiting for you somewhere."
