The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

Xie Yumin nodded understandingly. After all, things had come to this point, and no matter what she thought, she couldn't refuse, since they were Xingxing's biological parents.

But the thought that this child, whom I've watched grow up right under my nose, will soon disappear completely from my life fills me with emotion and my eyes are filled with reluctance.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Yumin finally spoke.

“I completely understand how parents feel, but Xingxing… no, Xiaoyang has already built a life here, especially his friendship with Mengmeng, which is crucial to his growth.”

Mengmeng, who had originally come in to grab something to eat, was stunned and stood there in disbelief when she heard this.

Take the stars with you? Go to a very far place?

At first, Mengmeng thought she had misheard, but after seeing her mother's unpleasant expression, she realized that none of this was false.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly. She turned and ran away, choking back tears as she thought she was about to lose her friend.

Xingxing was initially admiring the scenery, but she quickly noticed her friend's unusual behavior and immediately chased after her.

He found Mengmeng crying under the cherry blossom tree.

"You're leaving..." Mengmeng sobbed as she saw the stars, "going to a very far place with your new mom and dad..."

Xingxing stood helplessly in front of her, her eyes filled with pain.

He never comforted people and rarely said much, but after seeing Mengmeng in pain, he subconsciously picked up his sketchbook and quickly started drawing.

It shows two little people holding hands, standing at opposite ends of the Earth, with a long rainbow bridge drawn in the middle.

"But the rainbow will disappear!" Mengmeng cried even harder. She knew she was wrong, but she just couldn't bear to let the stars leave.

"Now that you're gone, there's no one left to paint with me, or to watch the moon with me..."

Xingxing shook her head anxiously, but because she hadn't liked talking to others for a long time, she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to.

He roughly sketched another picture on the notebook.

Two little figures, one on an airplane and the other on the ground, are holding the same string.

"Will you come back to see me?" Mengmeng reacted almost instantly upon seeing the flowers, and then couldn't help but ask with teary eyes.

Xingxing nodded vigorously, and then suddenly did something that surprised Mengmeng.

He actually took the initiative to hug her, though awkwardly, it was sincere.

Mengmeng could feel his heart beating as fast as a startled bird.

At this point, Mengmeng didn't know what to do.

As a friend, Mengmeng was naturally reluctant to see Xingxing leave. After all, the two had developed a deep friendship and hoped to accompany each other as they grew up.

But Mengmeng also knows that Xingxing has now found her biological parents and can live a better life by leaving with them.

Moreover, Mom said that Xingxing is sick and needs to go to a big hospital for treatment. If she insists on leaving her here, she doesn't know what will happen in the future.

But his biological parents will definitely take Xingxing to see a doctor.

Mengmeng reached out and hugged Xingxing back, crying silently, not knowing what to do.

The next day, Jiang Minglang and his wife formally proposed to take Xingxing back to their hometown in the south.

The procedures here went very smoothly. After all, as the biological parents, they have indisputable guardianship rights.

Therefore, the matter of Xingxing leaving this place has gradually been put on the agenda.

No matter how reluctant Mengmeng was, she knew she couldn't do anything about it, so she could only watch time slowly pass by, helpless.

Xingxing is quite oblivious when it comes to matters of the heart, so she only knows that her friend is unhappy and clumsily tries to cheer Mengmeng up in her own way, unaware of what her sister is facing.

On the morning of the day of departure, everyone from "Starry Home" came to see him off.

Teacher Su Yuan gave Xingxing a set of high-end art supplies and gently patted Xingxing's head, but choked up and couldn't say anything.

Dr. Lin gave him a small bottle containing calming essential oil and spoke softly with a soothing expression.

"From now on, our Xingxing will be big kids by Mom and Dad's side. We must be good, eat on time, sleep well, and not worry Mom and Dad anymore."

Even Gu Yinshen, who was very busy with his work, returned here after receiving the news, intending to personally send Xin Xin away.

Everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of impending parting.

Mengmeng placed the manual she had prepared beforehand into Xingxing's arms.

"I spent the last few days drawing lots of things we did together. We looked at the moon together, drew lots and lots of pictures together. I just don't want you to forget me. If you have the chance, you must come back to see me, okay?"

Xingxing held the gift in her hands, then looked up and met Mengmeng's gaze, nodding deeply in response.

"Remember to call me," Mengmeng said, fighting back tears, but being just a child, her voice was already choked with sobs. "And...be happy..."

Xingxing clutched the photo album tightly, her lips trembling, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

His gaze shifted between Mengmeng and her biological parents, filled with contradiction and pain.

Xie Yumin squatted down and straightened Xingxing's collar one last time. No matter how reluctant she was, she didn't say anything more, only forced a smile and spoke softly.

"Go home with your mom and dad. You're always welcome to come back."

Jiang Minglang picked up his son, while Lin Minmin carried the luggage and walked towards the car door.

Xingxing nestled on her father's shoulder, her eyes fixed on Mengmeng, her little hand reaching out helplessly to her.

Just as the car door was about to close, Xingxing suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Mengmeng!"

That shout was like a sharp sword piercing everyone's heart.

Mengmeng couldn't hold back any longer. She rushed forward and hugged the closing car door, bursting into tears: "Don't go! Xingxing, don't go! Didn't you say you'd be my best friend forever? Why didn't you keep your promise? Why are you leaving me? What will I do without you?"

Inside the car, Xingxing was also struggling fiercely, crying so hard she could barely breathe, desperately trying to get back to Mengmeng's side.

Xingxing seemed to realize what she was about to face, so she wanted to rebel in this way and wanted to live with Mengmeng again.

Jiang Minglang and Lin Minmin watched their son's reaction in shock. Ever since they said they were taking the child away, Xingxing's reaction had been very indifferent, which led them to mistakenly believe that Xingxing did not have much attachment to this place.

But this was the first time they had heard him speak so clearly and express his will so strongly.
