Chapter 13 - 11 Accidental Encounter with a Little Monkey
Jinxiu Hotel, Zijin Flower Hall.
Beibei's parents truly resemble what Li Si had imagined. Although the couple's expressions revealed undeniable weariness, their appearances were striking. This child must have inherited excellent genes entirely. In this era of judging by appearances, good looks are certainly an advantage.
Beibei's mother held him tightly, tears in her eyes, a mix of the excitement of recovering someone lost and a touch of guilt. Meanwhile, Beibei's father stood to the side, and though he didn't express much emotion, Li Si could perceive his feelings through his tightly clenched hands.
Mrs. Han wiped her tears and said, "Come on now, the two of you. Next time, you must watch over the child carefully when you take him out. If it weren't for kind-hearted people this time, you could've lost Beibei for good, and then you'd have nowhere to cry!"
Beibei's parents nodded deeply in response.
Then she turned to Li Si, smiling, and asked, "Young lady, I still don't know your name, what is it?"
"My name is Li Si, I'm from North City."
"North City? My hometown is there too. So, we're fellow townsfolk! It seems we're truly meant to meet. I must thank you again, young lady! In the future, if you're ever in Beijing and need any help, just let me know, don't hesitate, alright?"
Li Si felt touched by her words but didn't want to bother others easily, so she replied politely, "Don't worry. If there's ever really something I need help with, I promise I won't hesitate!"
"Li Si, what do your parents do for work? To raise such an outstanding child like you, they must be extraordinary themselves! Since we're fellow townsfolk, we should meet up sometime when there's a chance." Mrs. Han said, but as soon as she finished speaking, Li Si's expression darkened, and Mrs. Han was startled. Could it be...?
"Auntie, my dad passed away recently. My mom has been gone since I was little."
