The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

That evening, Lin Xi received a notification from the system regarding Love Coins and Loyalty Points.

Unexpectedly, after spending just one day together, Tian Lei's loyalty to her reached 100%.

This young man is so honest.

People who have been hurt always cherish the kindness of others.

The next day, the Lin family thought there would be fewer customers, but to their surprise, there were even more than the day before.

Apart from Tian Lei and Liu Erli, who were beaming with joy, the Lin family members all wore somber expressions; they were truly exhausted!

Lin Guiying not only has to get up early to prepare the dishes, but also has to work all day long, making her the most tired.

As she washed the dishes, she complained, "Oh dear, wasn't I clear enough yesterday? Why are there so many more people?"

Why are there more customers again?

As word spread about Tian Lei's deeds, people began to treat him as a tourist attraction, bringing their children or friends to visit and take photos.

"Look! That's the great hero!"

"Oh dear! It's alright, it wasn't that scary."

"Mom, I want to get an autograph from the hero."

……

Some people come simply because of the owner. Yesterday, Lin Xi and her friends scolded the bald man on behalf of Tian Lei and even threatened that if they minded, they shouldn't come to eat. This action earned them great goodwill from the customers.

How many shop owners are willing to offend customers for the sake of their waiters? They just like that kind of tough attitude.

If that's how you put it, then I'll definitely come and try it, mainly because I'm a rebel.

……

The Lin family members, who are usually so busy that they barely have time to rest and then fall asleep as soon as they get home, are all sitting at the table today.

Because Lin Xi is going to Beijing tomorrow to participate in the finals of the National Mathematical Olympiad.

"Xiaoxi, why don't you let your dad go with you? It's your first time traveling so far, and I'm worried about him!"

Lin Guiying frowned, her face full of worry.

Lin Xi nestled in her grandmother's arms, "It's okay, Grandma, I'll be back the day after tomorrow!"

This was the first time in her life that she had left her family, and to be honest, she felt a little reluctant.

Lin Dayuan knew that his daughter would go further and further away and would not stay in this small village, so he had long been prepared.

"Mom, don't worry, Teacher Su will take good care of her."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Yes, Grandma, I'll call you anytime."

The next morning, the Lin family took her to the village entrance, giving her a long list of instructions along the way. Lin Guiying almost got into the car with them.

Lin Dayuan pulled her back.

Once inside the shop, Lin Guiying was distracted, glancing at her phone hanging around her neck every now and then.

Even Tian Lei noticed something was wrong and quietly asked Lin Dayuan, "Boss, what's wrong with the old lady?"

"Hi, my daughter is going to Beijing for a competition today. It's her first time traveling so far from home, and her mother is a little worried about her."

With a hint of pride and self-satisfaction in his tone, Tian Lei chimed in, almost causing Lin Dayuan to add the wrong seasoning.

Lin Xi had already boarded the bullet train, and Su Youcai stared at her intently the whole way, as if she were a precious treasure.

"Teacher, relax, or people will think I'm carrying gold."

Lin Xi took out her textbook from her schoolbag and handed Su Youcai a piece of candy.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "Xiao Xi, you can't let your guard down. There are a lot of human traffickers these days. I saw a news report a few days ago about a group of people who specialize in abducting little girls your age. They're a gang, and they haven't caught all of them yet."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a gasp came from the other side of the aisle.

"Auntie, please be careful!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, young lady, I didn't mean to. I'm getting old, and my hands aren't very nimble."

A young woman in her early twenties frowned as she wiped her wet clothes, while an elderly woman next to her looked flustered as she wiped the water stains on the table with her sleeve.

Su Youcai glanced at it and then turned back to say, "Xiao Xi, if you are thirsty, hungry, or need to go to the toilet, just tell the teacher."

"Okay, teacher."

Lin Xi lowered her eyes and pretended to read a book, but her eyes kept glancing at the old lady's hand.

Her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but her hands were white and tender without a single wrinkle. Either she took good care of herself, or she had disguised her face.

She turned to face Su Youcai and the old lady, "Teacher, could you help me with this question?"

The old lady had a thick head of silver curly hair that covered most of her profile. Although her features were not clearly visible, one could vaguely make out her sharp eyes.

Her eyes lacked the cloudiness and yellowish tinge that an old woman should have, and her pupils moved around, constantly observing her surroundings.

"Xiao Yi, that old lady was disguised, wasn't she?"

"Yes, host, it's a very low-level disguise."

Under what circumstances would someone need to disguise themselves, especially as an old woman? Could they be a human trafficker?

Teacher Su was right.

But since she didn't make any move, it wasn't appropriate for him to expose her.

"Teacher, I need to go to the toilet."

"Okay. I'll go with you."

"Teacher, there's no need for that."

Su Youcai was still worried. "It's okay, I'll wait at the door."

"Ok."

Lin Xi then made various excuses, but Su Youcai took her with him no matter what he did, never leaving her side.

Lin Xi shook her head helplessly; it seemed she wouldn't be kidnapped.

With ten minutes left before the stop, the train attendant reminded everyone to hurry up and use the restroom, as the doors would be locked soon.

Su Youcai finally got up, gave a long speech, and then went to the bathroom.

Lin Xi waited expectantly for the old lady to tempt her.

But she didn't move.

Why aren't you moving? We're running out of time!

However, Teacher Su took a long time in the restroom. We're almost at our stop, why hasn't she come out yet?

Su Youcai did not get off the train until the conductor announced the station and the train came to a complete stop.

The old lady next to her finally made a move, but she simply stood up and made way for the girl sitting next to her.

It turned out the girl had arrived at her stop.

Lin Xi slumped her shoulders, somewhat disappointed, thinking the old lady was about to reveal her true form.

Just then, someone patted her on the shoulder. She turned around warily and saw a middle-aged man with a stubble beard.

Her eyes were red and she looked anxious. "Young lady, my daughter is missing. She's about your age, wearing a pink down jacket. Have you seen her?"

Lin Xi glanced at the old lady subconsciously, and coincidentally, the old lady was also looking at her.

"Sorry, I didn't see it."

Could you check the women's restroom for me?

Before Lin Xi could reply, the old lady interrupted, "Why don't you go see for yourself? Just knock on the door and call out, you'll know."

"My daughter is mute..."

"Even if someone is mute, they can still knock on the door and answer. Besides, the toilet is already locked."

Lin Xi didn't know why she was trying so hard to stop her, but the more she was stopped, the more she wanted to see it.

"It's alright, Uncle, I'll go take a look for you."

The man looked incredibly grateful, as if he was about to cry, "Thank you, thank you..."

As she stood up, the old lady also stood up, saying, "I'll go with you."

Little brat, getting restless, aren't you? You're about to give yourself away.

When she got to the restroom door, she knocked. "Is anyone home? Yes..."

A wave of dizziness washed over her. She shook her head. "Damn, I've been hit? How did I get hit?"
