Reborn, she saved the boy who was bullied to death

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and onto the path below the apartment building, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

Ji Xun held the slender Shang Qing in his arms and patiently warmed her hands.

Seeing her constantly glancing anxiously at the entrance of the residential area was heartbreaking.

"Sister, don't worry," Ji Xun said softly, tucking her wind-blown hair behind her ear. "I've already contacted Xiao Zhang, and he said Grandma and Uncle are just one more intersection away."

Shang Qing's brows furrowed slightly.

Her gaze never left the entrance of the residential compound.

It was as if if she waited just a little longer, her grandmother and uncle would appear before her eyes immediately.

"Why does this intersection feel so far away?"

Shang Qing muttered.

My longing for my grandmother and Uncle Shangyang is too strong.

If possible, she wished she could rush outside the community to greet them immediately.

Chi Yun Ning also leaned against Min Yu Ting's chest, craning her neck and looking around with Shang Qing.

Min Yuting gently patted Chi Yun Ning's back and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, they'll be here soon."

Seeing Shang Qing's anxiety, Min Yuting smiled and explained, "This is a peak time for traffic, so it might be a little slow. Qingqing, don't worry, we'll see you soon."

His voice was deep and gentle, making people feel exceptionally at ease.

Shang Qing nodded helplessly.

She knew her father was right.

During this time of day, there are indeed many vehicles on the road, and traffic jams are inevitable.

Nevertheless, she couldn't suppress her eagerness; she longed to see Grandma Kang and Uncle Shangyang immediately.

In fact, since returning to the capital during the National Day holiday, Shang Qing has been video chatting with Grandma Kang almost every night.

Through the screen, she could see her grandmother's kind smile and hear her grandmother's caring greetings, which made her feel the warmth of home even when she was far away from home.

However, Shang Qing did spend her entire childhood and adolescence with Grandma Kang.

Although video calls allowed her to see Grandma Kang and Uncle Shangyang, the feeling of actually facing them face-to-face was completely different.

Min Zhiheng stood to the side, looking at his mother and Shang Qing, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"They really are mother and daughter; their little actions are exactly the same."

His words carried a hint of teasing, but more than anything, they expressed his affection for his family.

"Sister, I'm here. I'm here."

Ji Xun pointed to a luxury car that was slowly approaching from a distance.

Looking in the direction Ji Xun pointed, Shang Qing's heart began to race.

If Ji Xun hadn't been holding her back and protecting her, she would have run to meet him.

The car drew closer and closer, eventually coming to a slow stop in front of them.

As the car door opened, Grandma Kang's kind and amiable face was the first thing Shang Qing saw.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, which seemed ready to spill over at any moment.

Shang Qing quickly bent down and carefully helped Grandma Kang out of the car.

After Grandma Kang regained her footing, Shang Qing could no longer contain her excitement and rushed into her arms like a joyful little bird, hugging her tightly.

"Grandma, I miss you so much!"

Shang Qing's voice was choked with emotion, filled with deep longing.

Grandma Kang gently patted Shang Qing's back and whispered, "My dear child, Grandma misses you too."

Her voice was full of love and warmth, which put people at ease.

Just then, the other door of the car opened as well.

Uncle Shangyang got out of the car.

He smiled and looked at the adorable girl who was playfully teasing Grandma Kang.

Hearing the sound, Shang Qing lifted her head from Grandma Kang's arms.

Seeing that gentle face, Shang Qing's face beamed with happiness. She waved and called out happily, "Uncle Yangyang! Qingqing missed you so much!"

Shang Yang quickly walked to Shang Qing's side, reached out and grasped Shang Qing's outstretched hand, and said gently, "Qingqing, it's so cold outside, why didn't you wait inside? You're so naughty."

Grandma Kang chimed in, "Yes, it's so cold outside. You're usually most afraid of the cold."

As she spoke, Grandma Kang reached out and gently touched Shang Qing's cheeks, which were red from the cold, her face full of heartache. "Look, your nose is all red."

Shang Qing smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

She raised her eyebrows mischievously and said proudly, "Grandma, Uncle Yangyang, I'm not cold at all. Knowing you were coming, my heart is warm right now!"

Her smile was as radiant and lively as a flower blooming in spring.

This left the three people, including Min Yuting, who were standing to the side, speechless with envy.

Seeing Shang Qing being so lively, cute, and charming, Min Yuting and the others felt too embarrassed to disturb her.

So they could only stand obediently to the side, quietly appreciating the scene, their eyes revealing envy for this intimate relationship.

These past two days, everyone has acted very naturally around Shang Qing.

But Min Yuting and the others knew in their hearts that the relationship between Shang Qing and Grandma Kang was still different.

Grandma Kang was amused by Shang Qing's childish appearance. She tapped her forehead with her finger and chuckled, "Qingqing, you have such a sweet tongue."

"Hmph, I've always had a sweet tongue." Shang Qing tilted her head back, even more smug.

Seeing her granddaughter so natural in front of her biological parents, Grandma Kang felt relieved.

She turned her gaze to Min Yuting and the other two.

These three people are convincing in terms of appearance, demeanor, and character.

Thinking of this, Grandma Kang's smile became even more kind and gentle. She said kindly to Shang Qing, "Qingqing, shouldn't you introduce your family to Grandma and Uncle?"

Shang Qing's eyes widened, she slapped her forehead, and muttered, "Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about that!"

Of course, her family members wouldn't complain about this.

Everyone just thought, "Why would this silly girl actually slap her own forehead?"

Doesn't it hurt?

It's both frustrating and kind of cute.

Ji Xun, in particular, felt a pang of anxiety when he saw Shang Qing patting her head like that.

His brows furrowed, his face filled with heartache.

He quietly moved closer and gently rubbed Shang Qing's forehead.

This scene was nothing new to everyone.

Just then, Min Yuting and Chi Yun Ning hurriedly stepped forward.

The couple had warm smiles on their faces.

Min Yuting greeted Grandma Kang and Shang Yang, saying, "Aunt Kang, Uncle Qingqing, hello! Hello! I am Qingqing's father, Min Yuting."

Chi Yun Ning warmly grasped Grandma Kang's hand, then turned to Shang Yang, her voice trembling with excitement: "Aunt Kang, Uncle Qing Qing, I am Qing Qing's mother, Chi Yun Ning."

Min Ji-hyung, of course, was not to be outdone.

He hurriedly ran forward, bowed respectfully to Grandma Kang and Shang Yang, and said, "Grandma Kang, Uncle Yangyang, hello! I am Qingqing's brother, my name is Min Zhiheng."

Grandma Kang was overjoyed to see how warm and welcoming the family was.

"Qingqing's dad, Qingqing's mom, Qingqing's brother. Hello, please don't be so polite. Before I came, I was worried about how Qingqing was doing here. Now that I see you and Qingqing, my heart is finally at ease!"
