Soon, the food was served and the family sat down neatly. During the meal, Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru did not forget to ask if Gu Min had adapted well, and also cared about their daughter's school situation. Everyone talked to each other, warm and happy. After the meal, Gu Min went into the kitchen as usual to help wash the dishes. Mu Qingnian also wanted to follow him in as usual, but was stopped by Lin Wanru.

"Niannian, please sit with your mother for a while. Your father...has something to ask Xiaomin."

Something? Mu Qingnian had a bad feeling. What was it that Mom and Dad needed to ask Gu Min alone? Mom and Dad would never hide anything from them...

unless......

Is there any news about his parents? ?

Mu Qingnian couldn't tell how she felt. She should be happy that Gu Min had found his parents, but she just felt a little... a sense of loss...

Lin Wanru noticed that her daughter was distracted for a moment and comforted her, "Niannian, we just got some news about Xiaomin's parents. It doesn't mean that Xiaomin will leave our home immediately. Besides, if Xiaomin can find her parents, we should be happy for her, right..."

Mu Qingnian nodded, but did not respond. She understood the truth... but... she was with him on the first day she traveled back in time. From the initial pity to the later dependence, she could not tell whether it was her travel back in time that saved him, or his appearance that healed her...

Mu Qingnian couldn't figure out what this emotion was, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed...

On the other side, in the kitchen, when Gu Min saw that Mu Qingnian, who always followed him, did not come in, but Mu Fengting came in, he felt that something seemed to be happening and couldn't help but feel nervous.

He stood in the direction of Mu Fengting, twisting the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, is...what's the matter?"

Mu Fengting didn't expect that Xiao Min had guessed his intention just after he came in. All the opening remarks he had just thought of didn't seem to be appropriate. He sighed and chose to tell him directly, "Xiao Min, someone from the Public Security Bureau called me today."

As soon as Mu Fengting said something, Gu Min's hands suddenly clenched. He had been here for so long, and the experience was too blissful, that he almost forgot that he did not belong here...

Parents... is a word that is so far away from him... He found that he was somewhat guilty, because his longing for his parents, who he no longer had any memory of, was not enough to overcome his attachment to this family in the past month...

And... I can't bear to leave that girl who follows me and calls me brother...

"Xiao Min?" Mu Fengting noticed that Gu Min was in a daze and called softly.

Gu Min came back to his senses from his complicated thoughts, lowered his head, and asked cautiously, "Then...Uncle, what did they say?"

Mu Fengting breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had just said something wrong. He calmed down and said, "They said that they have found the county where you lived when you were a child. Based on your description, they are looking for a couple of the same age who lost their child. Since the county is not big, but not small either, there are still quite a few people, so they are still slowly investigating. They called you today to tell you the news and to inform you that the DNA you left behind at that time may be compared after narrowing down the scope. There should be results within a month at the latest."

Gu Min still lowered his head. When he heard that he was not leaving now, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this idea was wrong, but he just couldn't control his emotions. He kept silent and persuaded himself over and over in his mind...

Uncle Mu is good, Aunt Lin is good, Nian Nian is even better, but they can't stay with me forever...

Everything I have now is already a blessing from God. I can't be greedy anymore. I don't know if my parents are looking for me. If they have been looking for me for seven years, they must be very worried. I should return to my family as soon as possible...

He was very sensible, but no matter how he persuaded himself, he could not free himself from the tangled emotions. Mu Fengting saw that the boy's emotions were a little wrong, and for a moment he was a little confused about how the boy felt at the moment, and for a moment he didn't know what to say...

He opened his mouth, but chose to leave space for Xiao Min to digest the information himself...

When he walked out, he saw his daughter lying on the sofa with red eyes and tears in the corners of her eyes, being gently patted by his wife. Mu Fengting and Lin Wanru looked at each other, and he understood from her eyes...

My daughter is reluctant to leave Xiao Min...

Let alone her, when he and his wife heard today that they might find Xiao Min's biological parents in less than a month, they also felt mixed emotions. After a few months of getting along, they had already regarded Xiao Min as their own family and had imagined many futures with him, but who knew that separation would come faster than they imagined...

Mu Fengting sighed and looked back towards the kitchen. The boy's complicated expression just now seemed to indicate that he was reluctant to leave them...
