Before leaving, Tangtang turned back and spoke earnestly to Gu Yinshen.

What Mengmeng said this morning made Tangtang very worried that she really left without saying goodbye and went back to the orphanage where she had stayed before.

"Dad, I want to wait here a little longer," Tangtang said, holding Tang Yibai's hand. "Mengmeng probably hasn't come out of school yet. If we all leave, she'll be very sad if she comes out and doesn't see us."

Looking at Tangtang's healed hand and then at his own standing legs, Tang Yibai stroked Tangtang's hair, "Okay, Daddy will wait with you."

Before getting into the car, Tian Tian watched as Tang Tang held Tang Yibai's hand, and the two of them turned back from the car to the school gate.

However, the car had already started moving, and Gu Yinshen was even calling Ruolan to tell her that they were on their way back.

If Mengmeng is left at school, what if something really happens? Will the immortal punish her?

Sweetie still vividly remembered the warning from last time. With immortals being so powerful, how could she, an ordinary person, possibly be a match for them?

She was constantly worried, and didn't hear Gu Shiyu speaking to her beside her.

"Tiantian?"

After receiving no response to his calls, Gu Yinshen went forward to check on him with concern.

Suddenly a face loomed in front of her, and Tian Tian snapped out of her reverie, her entire upper body jerking backward in fright.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Shiyu asked, reaching out to touch her forehead.

Such affectionate gestures were usually seen on Mengmeng.

Thinking about this, Tian Tian felt even more afraid.

Could the immortals already know?

My heart skipped a beat, and my eyelids started twitching nervously.

"His head isn't hot, so why is his face suddenly red?" Gu Shiyu muttered, then turned to Gu Yinshen and said, "Dad, contact Uncle Xie and ask him to come over."

Send someone over first, so that if they suddenly develop a fever after returning home, they can receive timely medical treatment.

Gu Shiyu reached out and adjusted Tian Tian's seat, then gently whispered in her ear, "Tian Tian, ​​close your eyes and rest for a while."

There was constant chattering in my ears, and if I didn't close my eyes, the annoying questions would keep coming.

To relax, Sweetie crossed her arms over her chest and closed her eyes.

……

Almost everyone had left the campus. When Mengmeng saw the security guard preparing to close the gate, she moved her numb legs and emerged from behind the flower bushes.

She didn't know where to go and walked dejectedly toward the school gate.

"Hey, what brings you here so soon?" the security guard greeted Mengmeng as he looked at her.

Half an hour had passed since school ended, and the parents who had been waiting at the school gate had all left.

Mengmeng approached the security guard and politely explained, "I'm sorry, I was packing my things and it took me a little longer."

"It's alright, there are no parents at the gate anymore. Do you remember your parents' phone numbers? I'll contact them for you." The security guard said, taking his phone out of his pocket.

Watching his actions, Mengmeng shook her head and explained, "Uncle, my mom and dad are very busy and don't have time to come pick me up. You don't need to call them, I can go back by myself."

“How can such a young child go home by himself? His parents wouldn’t be at ease,” the security guard said.

The phone has already opened the page to make a call.

Mengmeng watched, her hands nervously gripping the straps of her schoolbag.

When Dad and Brother came to pick up Tian Tian, ​​they didn't even think about taking her home with them. If I called, they wouldn't come over anyway; it would only upset them.

After thinking it over for a while, Mengmeng glanced at the security guard beside her, who was focused on his phone. Her nails dug into her backpack strap, and her teeth lightly grazed her lower lip.

She closed her eyes resolutely and ran out with all her might.

"Hey!" The security guard felt a figure running past him and shouted, "Student! Don't run!"

The shouts echoed at the school gate. Tangtang, who was almost asleep in the car, heard them, rolled down the window, and saw Mengmeng running.

"Daddy, Mengmeng!"

Tang Yibai immediately opened the car door and got out.

"Mengmeng!" the father and daughter called out in unison.

That shout was like an invisible pair of giant hands, pulling Mengmeng back from her desperate run.

She turned to look at Tangtang and Tang Yibai, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Her beloved father and brother never thought of waiting for her at the school gate, but Tangtang and Uncle Tang were always there waiting.

Mengmeng stood there silently, crying like a helpless child.

"Mengmeng!" Tangtang ran to Mengmeng with heartache, wiping away her tears with both hands. Seeing Mengmeng crying so hard, she also started to cry.

Tang Yibai watched the two emotionally sensitive children and stood quietly by, waiting for them to finish venting their bad feelings.

Half an hour passed, and Mengmeng, sniffling, wiped the tears off Tangtang's face. "Tangtang, have you been waiting for me?"

"Mmm." Tangtang nodded and wiped away Mengmeng's tears. "I was worried about you because you didn't come back after you left the classroom, so I asked Dad to stay here and wait for you to come out."

Mengmeng looked at Tang Yibai and politely said, "I'm sorry to have worried Uncle Tang."

"Mengmeng, are you hungry? Why don't you stay at Uncle's house for the night and sleep in the same room as Tangtang?" Tang Yibai asked respectfully.

Gu Yinshen's attitude after school was already very clear: even if she called now or sent Mengmeng back to them, Mengmeng would not receive their careful care.

Bringing her back would not only allow us to keep Tangtang company, but also help Tangtang cheer up her unhappy mood.

"Okay," Mengmeng replied.

Before leaving the school gate, she was worried about where to go. She was very grateful to Tangtang and Tang Yibai.

Once inside the Tang family's car, Tangtang started chattering away, asking questions nonstop.

"Mengmeng, where did you go just now? I looked for you for a long time after school, and when I came out I saw your dad..." Tangtang stopped mid-sentence, looking nervously at Mengmeng's expression.

Now, upon hearing about the Gu family's attitude towards her, Mengmeng has learned to restrain her expression and no longer shows her inner sadness on her face.

She smiled and continued, "Is Daddy in a hurry to take Tian Tian back?"

"Mmm." Tangtang nodded, looking at Mengmeng with concern. "Mengmeng, I've told your dad. I like you very much too, and I'd like you to come and stay at my house as well."

Tangtang didn't explicitly say what was said, but Mengmeng understood it all.

"Tangtang, thank you." Mengmeng smiled and took Tangtang's hand.

Looking at their clasped hands, Tangtang gripped them even tighter. "What I've done for you is far less than what you've done for me."
