Around nine o'clock, there was a shrill phone ringing in the room, waking them up.

Wen Mubai stretched out his arms from under the quilt, rubbed his cold skin against Xu Chacha's face, took the mobile phone on the bedside table, and pressed it to his ear, with a low voice deep in his throat, "Huh?"

There was deep sleepiness in her voice, her half-opened eyes were hazy, and it was rare that she didn't look so sharp.

"Chacha?" Probably the person on the other end of the phone mentioned Xu Chacha, she stood up and let the quilt slip off her body, and turned her head to meet the beautiful clear black eyes of the little milk bag.

"Morning, little one." She took the phone away and whispered to Xu Chacha's ear, and then said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I'm awake, are you coming here now?"

Xu Chacha thought that the car that was about to pick her up to the orphanage had arrived, so she got out of bed silently and put on her shoes.

"Come here." Wen Mubai sat up and waved to her.

Xu Chacha walked over obediently, and mouthed "What's the matter?".

Wen Mubai didn't answer her, but raised his hand to press down the sleepy hair on the top of her head, with a smile on her lips.

"Then I'll take her down now." She quickly hung up the phone.

"Are they coming to deliver Chacha?" Xu Chacha asked in a low voice.

"No." Wen Mubai picked up a comb to help her smooth her hair, "The police sister said that they found someone who might be your biological parents, and they sent someone over there today to take you for an appraisal."

Xu Chacha's hands behind her back slowly clenched into fists, but she put on a puzzled look on her face, "Appraisal?"

"Well, just to confirm whether you are their child or not, you can rest assured soon."

"That's it." That's great!

The dull mood was swept away by Wen Mubai's words, Xu Chacha couldn't help shaking her legs happily while eating, imagining the beautiful life ahead.

Among the exaggerated princess dresses that Jiang Panpan bought, Wen Mubai chose the most eye-catching one for Xu Chacha to put on.

The little milk bun was originally born white, and her cheeks still had a natural light pink color. Wearing a light white lace skirt, she looked like a little angel who was about to fly away with wings.

When Jiang Panpan came to look for them, she happened to see Xu Chacha holding a spoon to deliver the oatmeal to her mouth. She probably thought it tasted good. She squinted her eyes and let out a soft sigh as she ate.

"Ahhh!"

Wen Mubai and Xu Chacha stopped eating and looked at her for no reason.

Jiang Panpan couldn't feel it at all, she was pinching herself crazily, "No, no, no! This little thing is so cute! Is it illegal to eat a child! I want to eat a child!"

"Breaking the law." Wen Mubai and Xu Chacha warned her in unison.

……

Because of the high bounty for the Xu family, there are too many people who want to pretend to be Miss Xu's family, and there are even countless people who fake birthmarks. It is impossible for Xu's father and Xu mother to fly around without work every day, so they sent a housekeeper to verify their identities .

The housekeeper, surnamed Zhang, is a well-maintained middle-aged woman, and behind her is a man in a suit.

"Little friend, what's your name?" Butler Zhang knelt down and looked at Xu Chacha.

"My name is Chacha." Her voice was soft and timid.

Butler Zhang thought that the man in a suit behind him had frightened her, so he waved people to get into the car, and then smiled kindly at Xu Chacha, "Can I go to the hospital with my mother-in-law? My mother-in-law will take you to find your parents."

If it weren't for the police standing by, it wouldn't be surprising to say that the housekeeper is a kidnapper. These words are simply classic lines of human traffickers.

"It's okay, this mother-in-law is not a bad person, my sister knows her." Wen Mubai patted Xu Chacha's shoulder to comfort her.

"Okay." Xu Chacha nodded vigorously, and took the initiative to hold Butler Zhang, "Chacha is going with mother-in-law. Chacha wants to see her parents."

Hearing these words, Butler Zhang's nose was more than sore, and she lowered her head.

Xu Chacha's hand was very small, and he could barely hold her two fingers, but they still held it tightly. Under the soft and warm skin, both of their hearts were beating faster and vibrating.

In recent years, she has been traveling for the Xu family and met many so-called "missing children". Some of these children were forced to pretend to be by their biological parents, and some were threatened by human traffickers. Under the skin, there is an undisguised greed.

She has been by the Xu family's side for so many years, she has already become a human being, and the child's clumsy acting skills cannot escape her eyes.

But she could see that Xu Chacha in front of her was different, she didn't cry or make trouble, and there was a bit of forced strength in her eyes, especially the phrase "Chacha wants to see Mom and Dad" that she said with courage, instantly touched her softness heart.

Butler Zhang thought that even if the final result came out and Xu Chacha was not the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she would continue to help the child find her biological parents.

There is nothing more distressing than a childish strength.

Xu Chacha was very quiet when she was sitting in the car. She held the seat belt in front of her tightly with both hands, and looked out the window to see the trees falling down one after another.

Butler Zhang is looking for a private appraisal agency, and the fastest expedited results can be obtained within five hours.

A doctor in a white coat came over and collected Xu Chacha's nails and hair.

"Do not be afraid."

Xu Chacha's tense appearance made Steward Zhang misunderstand that she was afraid of seeing a doctor, so he bought a lollipop and stuffed it into her hand, "Chacha will definitely find her parents."

"How does mother-in-law know?" Xu Chacha didn't take apart the candy, but just held it in his hand.

"Because you are a good boy, a good boy will be favored by the gods."

It was words to coax children again, Xu Chacha sighed inwardly.

But she should get used to it earlier, after all, she is a child now.

"Well, then Chacha will try her best to be a good child." She smiled reassuringly.

After the DNA was collected, Xu Chacha was sent back to the B&B. It just so happened that the policewoman was on the night shift today, so she could spare time to look after her during the day.

Wen Mubai went to the police station to make a second statement and was not there, so Xu Chacha could only sit on a chair and read the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales that the policewoman gave her.

——with pictures and words, and the version marked with pinyin.

God knows how many years ago Xu Chacha saw this thing last time, but with people watching from the sidelines, she still had to put on an innocent look of enjoying it.

"Why don't you eat sugar?" the policewoman asked her.

"I want to take it home for my sister to eat." Originally, Xu Chacha wanted to stuff the sugar into his pocket, but it was too big and he could only hold it in his hands.

"It's so good." The female policeman patted her head, "But you should really thank this sister."

Xu Chacha nodded, "Of course, I will repay her well."

"It's thanks to Ms. Wen. She called me suddenly in the middle of the night last night and told the Xu family about the birthmark found on you."

"Sister's phone call?" Wen Mubai clearly told her in the morning that it was the clues found by the police station.

Xu Chacha lowered her head and stopped talking.

……

After Wen Mu added the details of the confession and cleared the identity record left at the police station, when she was about to go back, a young auxiliary policeman stopped her.

"Well, I have an umbrella here, you can use it." The young man looked to be in his early twenties, his skin was tanned, but he still couldn't hide his flushed cheeks.

"Thank you, no need." Wen Mubai's tone was alienated, and after she finished speaking, she nodded slightly towards the other party, and the hot air that rushed towards her when she opened the door enveloped her.

"You have a rash." The auxiliary policeman chased him a step further, pointing his hand at his neck, "I'm allergic to ultraviolet rays, I used to have a classmate who also had this problem, if you leave it like this, it will cause skin peeling if it gets serious." of."

"I know." So she always carries an umbrella no matter the weather is sunny or rainy, and she always has ointment in her bag.

"then you--"

"I'm fine. Goodbye." Wen Mubai didn't give him another chance to speak, put the sweater hat on his head, and left quickly.

Passers-by stopped and looked back at this weird girl with a pretty face but wearing long sleeves in summer, but Wen Mubai seemed to ignore those probing gazes, and went straight to the back door of the hotel by bypassing the path.

It was only when she got to a cooler place that the burning sensation on her face and neck subsided. She quickly opened the door, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then applied a layer of medicine to her neck where the rash was more serious.

After finishing all this, Wen Mubai came out of the bathroom wiping his half-wet hair, picked up the phone, found that there was no reply from Butler Zhang, and quickly put it down again.

She wandered around the room aimlessly, the old tree outside the window still looked the same, the cicadas in the branches were still loud, but she always felt that something was missing in her heart.

Twisting his hair casually, Wen Mubai began to tidy up the room, folding the clothes he took out earlier and stuffing them into the suitcase one by one.

When she stuffed the left side and was about to tidy up the right half, a piece of paper was shaken from the clothes.

She squatted down and picked it up to read it. It was a brochure of the hotel. She was about to turn her head and put it on the table, but her eyes caught a line of small words above it.

The handwriting is heavy, and it seems that every stroke and every painting has been engraved with the greatest effort.

【Sister, Chacha lied, Chacha hates you】

Looking at these words, one can even imagine the back of Xiao Naibao holding a pen and writing seriously, and then Xu Chacha's forced smile from last night appeared in Wen Mubai's mind.

"Chacha likes playing with children the most. There should be many children in the orphanage."

Wen Mubai still remembered what Xu Chacha said, presumably this was her so-called lying.

It was difficult for Wen Mubai to describe his mood at that moment, he only knew that he held the paper and stood there for a long, long time.

Until a crisp beep brought her back to reality.

The news came from Butler Zhang: The result came out, this child is really a big lady!

……

Xu's mother, who was on a business trip nearby, was the first to know the news. When Steward Zhang called her, she was negotiating a contract renewal with an important spice manufacturer.

"President Xu?" Seeing that she had answered the phone and came back, the other party had been staring at the phone in a daze, and called her out of good intentions.

Xu's mother couldn't hear his voice at all, she silently read the results on the appraisal form word by word, tears fell uncontrollably.

It was found, her daughter was found.

Mother Xu sorted out her emotions and quickly signed the contract with the manufacturer's representative. The first thing she said after getting in the car was to say to the driver, "Go to X town, the sooner the better!"

"Okay, ma'am."

Holding the phone in her hands, Xu's mother leaned back on the back of the chair, and when she watched the rapidly receding scene outside the window, her nervousness and worry came up after she was ecstatically surprised.

Will the child not recognize her after so many years?

I heard that I suffered a lot in the country, would you resent her as a mother for losing her in the first place?

What if the child doesn't want to recognize her as a mother?

If, if, if, mother Xu's head is full of all kinds of guesses.

In the end, she found that she didn't know what expression to use to face that poor child.

Obviously the night before last night to revise the cooperation contract, she stayed up until early in the morning, but at this time Xu's mother was not at all sleepy, her heart was beating into her throat, she was anxiously looking at the road ahead, wishing that she could fly immediately with wings on her body to that child!

……

When Xu Chacha read the seventh chapter of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, there was a knock on the door.

She jumped off the chair and ran to open the door. After seeing the person coming, her eyes lit up immediately, "Sister!"

Wen Mubai knelt down and picked him up with one hand, "Are you obedient?"

"She's the best child I've ever seen." The female policeman walked over with a smile, "Looking at your expression, it's good news."

good news?Xu Chacha seemed to understand something.

"Your parents found it." Wen Mubai looked at Xu Chacha and said the answer she had been waiting for for a long time in the most direct language, "Your mother happened to be on a business trip nearby, and she stopped working when she received the news and forgot to come here." , if you hurry up, you can see her today."

"Really?" Xu Chacha's eyes were steamed, she sniffed, and pursed her lips trying not to let tears fall, "Do they still want Chacha?"

"Yes, of course." Wen Mubai pinched her face, "Your parents never gave up looking for you, don't think about it."

"Yeah!" Xu Chacha plunged into her neck, and the moment he hid his face, tears burst out of the embankment.

Wen Mubai felt the warm liquid on his neck, and silently patted Xu Chacha's thin back to comfort him.

"Take it away." The policewoman gestured to Wen Mubai.

Wen Mubai nodded, mouthed "thank you" to her, and returned to his room holding the sobbing little crying bag.

Xu Chacha was still holding the book of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales in his hand, and put it back on the table beside him as he disliked it being in the way.

Wen Mubai guessed her mood and just sat quietly holding her.

Xu Chacha cried for a while, felt that the play was almost enough, and finally raised her head.

She rubbed her eyes with her hands, and the tear-wet eyelashes were softly pasted on the eyelids.

Wen Mubai silently picked up a tissue to wipe her tears.

"Thank you sister." Xu Chacha sniffed, and patted Wen Mubai's collar with her little hand, "Chacha dirty you."

"Not dirty."

"Sister, you here..." Xu Chacha suddenly narrowed his eyes, and looked closely at Wen Mubai's neck, pointing his finger there, "Sister, you have many little red spots on your neck."

"Yeah." Wen Mubai leaned back and distanced himself from her, "Scared?"

"That's not it." Xu Chacha's tone was serious, but the seriousness on that childish face made people laugh, "Does it hurt?"

"It's just a little allergic, it doesn't hurt." Wen Mubai didn't want to linger on himself, "What about Chacha, are you still sad?"

"Not sad." Xu Chacha shook her head, her voice was a little uncertain, "I'm just afraid..."

"afraid of what."

"Scared...they don't like me."

"Stupid, no one will like you, your parents will only love you even more, and won't let you suffer any grievances." Wen Mubai said softly.

"Then sister, can I wear a kitty cat to see my mother?" Xu Chacha said.

"why."

Xu Chacha lied without blushing at all, "Chacha thinks Kitty is the prettiest cat, and wants to wear nice clothes to meet mom."

After all, she still doesn't know the character of Xu's couple and the adopted daughter's sister, so she sells miserably to get some sympathy points, at least life won't be too sad.

The above is Xu Chacha's experience summed up from the losses he suffered during the seven years of living under the fence of his aunt's house.

Wen Mubai was silent for a while, then nodded lightly, "Yes, good."

She didn't choose to correct Xu Chacha's aesthetics, telling her that the short sleeves with holes were not as good-looking as the princess dress she was wearing at this time.

It will only increase the child's inner inferiority complex.

The clothes had been washed and dried yesterday, and they were hung on the hanger at this time, Wen Mubai took it off and handed it to Xu Chacha, and the little milk bag happily ran into the bathroom with the clothes in his arms to change.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Mubai's cell phone rang.

Xu Chacha, who was already lying drowsy on the sofa, sat up straight and stared at her nervously.

"It's okay." Wen Mubai patted her, then picked up the phone and turned on the speaker, "Hello, hello."

But it wasn't Steward Zhang's voice that came from the other end of the phone. Her voice sounded a little panting, and she probably just ran away.

"Mubai, it's me, Aunt Xu, I... I'm at the door."

Xu Chacha looked up and exchanged a look with Wen Mubai, bit her lower lip nervously with her white teeth, and held her tightly with her hands.

Wen Mubai gently shook Xu Chacha's hand back, and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Chacha is in the room, I'll open the door for you now."

Mother Xu, who was standing outside the door, heard footsteps coming from the room, gradually approaching the door, and then the sound of someone holding the doorknob and turning it lightly.

She swallowed, feeling that her heart was being tightened following the sound, and even breathing became difficult.

"Aunt Xu." The door opened, and Wen Mubai's familiar beautiful face appeared in front of her eyes.

Xu's mother held her breath, and her eyes moved down to the little milk bag that half of her body was hidden behind Wen Mubai, her little hands were pulling her trouser legs, and only half of her head was timidly exposed.

"Chacha?"

Xu Chacha's wet eyes blinked, and she shrank back, looking like a frightened little animal, which naturally made people feel pampered.

"I'm your mother... don't you remember?" Xu Chacha was only three years old when she got lost, so it's normal not to remember.

"Mom?" The little milk bag pondered these two words carefully, and looked up at the woman with outstanding temperament with foggy eyes, "Do you want more tea?"

"Why not!" Xu's mother said without any time to react, but she didn't dare to approach Xu Chacha rashly, so she could only squat down and look at her tenderly, "You have suffered all these years, mother must make it up to you."

It was only then that Xu Chacha had the courage to lean out a little bit, and Xu's mother could clearly see the white and worn short sleeves on her body, there were even holes in the neckline, and most of the cartoon pattern on her chest had been washed away.

She had only heard the report from Butler Zhang on the phone before that the couple who bought Xu Chacha lived in poor conditions, but seeing Xu Chacha's pitiful and desolate appearance with her own eyes, the shock she suffered in her heart was completely incomparable to that of the former.

This is her little princess who was born in October of her pregnancy. How could... How could she suffer so much.

"That's good." The young Xu Chacha seemed to be relieved, and then her words tightened Xu's mother's heart again, "I thought... I was an unwanted child."

Mother Xu's tears fell down almost without any warning, her brows were tightly knit together, and she covered her mouth tightly with her hands.

She felt as if someone was stabbing her heart with a blunt knife, and the guilt and regret were overwhelming, and finally turned into distress for the child in front of her.

She finally couldn't help it, and hugged Xu Chacha, "My poor child, mother will never let you suffer!"

Xu Chacha didn't expect Xu's mother to react so strongly, and felt that the body she was hugging her was trembling, so she raised her hand, and patted Xu's mother on the back like what Wen Mubai often did to herself.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Her voice is still childish, but her soft voice has the comforting tone of a little adult.

Xu's mother realized that she was being comforted by a seven-year-old child, who was her lost daughter for many years.

Unlike the "what ifs" she thought, Xu Chacha didn't hate her, didn't alienate her, just looked at her like a poor puppy with low self-esteem, worried about being abandoned, and even comforted her after sensing her sadness. .

The softest part of her heart was touched, Xu's mother couldn't help holding Xu Chacha's cheek and kissing her.

"My baby is simply a little angel."

Xu Chacha pressed against the red lip marks on her cheeks, her eyes were a little dull.

Well, at least the first kiss is still there.
