"Are you worried about me too?" Yangyang asked with a smile, though he already knew she was concerned about him.

Her words earlier had proven she was genuinely worried about him.

Knowing she cared so much about him made him really happy.

He had many reasons to reject that identity, but there was one reason to accept it!

This reason was enough to defeat all the other reasons.

He wanted to try once more, to strive to win Huo Tianxin!

He was truly unwilling to give up on her; he could be really good to her too.

A hundred times better than Huo Ziyang!

"Of course I’m worried! You disappeared for days without any contact. Don’t you realize people are worried about you?" Tianxin said irritably, relieved when she heard his tone indicating he was alright.

She had been worried about him ever since he disappeared, fearing something might happen to him.

Now, knowing he was safe, she finally felt at ease!

"I’ll be back in a few days. I’ve spoken to my parents over the phone, so you don’t need to worry." Yangyang said with a smile, not wanting her to worry any longer.

"Okay, are you really alright?" Tianxin asked again, still uneasy.

"I’m fine, don’t worry." Yangyang replied warmly, a smile in his heart.

"That’s good, make sure you don’t disappear again. Uncle and Aunt are very worried about you."

"Okay, got it."

"We’ll talk when you’re back, bye-bye~"

"Bye..." Yangyang was still speaking when a voice came through the phone, someone was calling him.

"Who’s calling you?" Tianxin asked in confusion.

"That’s all for now. We’ll talk when I return!" Yangyang said before hastily hanging up, turning around to look at the person who had entered.

"Well, what have you decided?"

"I agree to it!"

――

Tianxin placed her phone on the table, a happy smile appearing on her face.

"Feeling happy?" Ziyang asked, reaching out to ruffle her messy hair.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Ziyang!" Tianxin nodded, smiling brightly.

"Go upstairs to brush your teeth and wash your face, I’m heading home."

"Why are you going home? Aren’t you on vacation?" Tianxin pouted, her smile fading, not wanting him to leave.

"Heading home to rest."

"Oh." Tianxin said glumly, unable to ask Brother Ziyang to stay with her.

She couldn’t take risky actions anymore; it would be a disaster if Mom found out.

"Go brush your teeth and wash your face, I’m leaving now." Ziyang said, indulgently ruffling her hair one last time before standing up to leave.

"Fine, fine, I’m going to have breakfast!" Tianxin said angrily, ignoring him as she stood up to leave.

If they kept talking, he would still leave; there was no point in continuing.

Saying too much would only make her reluctant, make her feel sad...

"Take good rest, don’t go wandering around." Ziyang advised her, worried she might go out to play.

Actually, he was worried...she might go looking for Yangyang.

But soon he closed his eyes in exasperation; she had no idea where Yangyang was, how could she possibly find him!!

His intelligence had been low these days...

"I don’t need you to tell me! Just go, my house doesn’t have breakfast for you!" Tianxin fumed.

Ziyang smiled slightly, stepping out of the side hall. The little girl was still pouting at him.

In the following days, Tian Xingyun still did not allow Tianxin to go out.

She obediently stayed home, not wandering around, reading books, watching TV, playing the piano.

Her health recovered well, her complexion rosy and healthy.

Tianxin stayed home for several days, Huo Shaohua almost couldn’t stand it anymore.

He pleaded with Xingyun on behalf of his daughter, convincing him to allow Tianxin outside finally.

Tianxin said she wanted to travel on her own, but this time Huo Shaohua opposed it!
