Chapter 704: Chapter 702 We Can Do It_1

Chuanchuan, being such a smart little guy, naturally understood Xia Ningxing’s difficulties. He immediately shook his head and said understandingly, "It’s okay if you can’t manage it, Mom. I’m feeling a bit tired, I want to go back to my room."

Xia Ningxing’s nose tingled with emotion, "Then, will you go to see Youyou off tomorrow? Maybe we should say goodbye, since we don’t know if there will be another chance to meet."

It was worth it to see her one more time.

Because for some, once they leave, it’s for a lifetime.

"I better not..." Chuanchuan bit his lip, fighting back the urge to cry, and with a shake of his head, rushed into his room.

Once in the solitude of his room, Chuanchuan could no longer hold back and buried himself in his blankets, sobbing softly.

He didn’t want to part with Cheng Youyou.

He really didn’t want to.

But he had no way to keep her here.

And he couldn’t possibly follow her, because his dad, his great-grandfather, and his grandma, among other relatives, wouldn’t allow it, wouldn’t have peace of mind, and would be deeply saddened.

He was already so distressed, he couldn’t selfishly make everyone else suffer as well.

He used to think he could do anything, but in reality, he couldn’t do anything.

Crying and crying, Chuanchuan eventually fell into a heavy, restless sleep.

After all, he was just a child, and his little body couldn’t handle such sorrow.

Xia Ningxing, who had been standing outside for a long time, finally turned the spare key and, frowning with distress, entered his room.

She sat beside his bed, pulled up the blankets to cover him, and carefully wiped the tears from his face with her hand.

"Silly child..." Seeing him cry like that, Xia Ningxing, as a mother, felt as if her heart had been sliced open. She choked up and whispered softly.

When she came out, Xia Ningxing happened to run into Lu Tingli, who had just returned home.

He said, "I heard from Sir Lu that the little girl Youyou is transferring schools. How’s the little rascal holding up now?"

His narrow eyes focused intently on Chuanchuan’s room, filled with concern.

That same old saying held true: they might bicker constantly, but in his heart, that boy was still his treasured son.

"He cried himself to sleep. He’ll be fine," sighed Xia Ningxing.

Lu Tingli nodded, "Then I’m relieved. I suppose after a good sleep, he’ll forget, and I won’t go in either, lest my heavy footsteps wake him."

"Parting is truly a suffocating ordeal." Xia Ningxing suddenly embraced Lu Tingli, "Lu, promise me, never leave me!"

Lu Tingli couldn’t help but laugh and hold her, asking in return, "How could I possibly leave you!"

"And I will never leave you, never," Xia Ningxing affirmed confidently.

"I believe you."

Lu Tingli rested his chin gently on her head, his expression tender.

In the morning, Xia Ningxing personally made fried eggs, Chuanchuan’s favorite.

"Ma’am, Young Master Chuanchuan is missing," Nanny Wu reported in panic.

Xia Ningxing’s plate fell to the floor with a clang as she dashed out in disbelief, "How can he be missing?"

When she reached his room, it was completely empty.

Despite searching the entire courtyard, there was no sign of him.

Xia Ningxing’s heart raced wildly with fear, and her mind conjured up all sorts of suffocating scenarios.

Where had he run off to, where exactly?

Lu Tingli’s brow furrowed with worry and anger, "This little rascal really knows how to cause trouble!"

If he had known there would be such a fuss, he never would have allowed it!

"Wait, I know where he’s gone!" Suddenly, Xia Ningxing realized.

"Today is the day Youyou leaves. Even though he said last night that he wouldn’t go to see her off, he must have gone. I’m going to call his teacher right now and ask for Youyou’s home address!" Xia Ningxing spoke quickly and, in a frantic rush, took out her phone to make the call.

After obtaining Youyou’s home address, Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli immediately drove to find Chuanchuan.

"As soon as you find him, you must call me immediately! Otherwise, I’ll worry myself to death!" Sir Lu instructed with concern before their departure.

"Grandfather, don’t worry, we will," Xia Ningxing nodded and responded at once.

Meanwhile.

Chuanchuan sat in the taxi while anxiously looking at his wristwatch.

Hoping...

Hoping he could make it in time!

But it was still too late.

By the time he arrived at Cheng Youyou’s apartment building, they were just driving away.

"Youyou!"

After yelling out, Chuanchuan immediately started running after the car.

The wind messed his hair, sweat beaded and streamed down his forehead, and he ran so fast that only trails of his silhouette were left behind.

He put all his strength into chasing the car.

"Youyou! Youyou, I’m here to say goodbye!"

He shouted with all his might, hoping she could hear him, hoping she could leave without regrets.

He was so focused that he didn’t watch his step and "plop," he fell onto the asphalt road.

The rough surface tore his tender skin, and beads of blood eagerly emerged from the torn tissues below.

But he didn’t seem to feel the pain at all, not even furrowing his brow, instead trying hard to get up and continue the pursuit.

However, the sharp pain in his foot made it impossible for him to stand, so he could only crawl.

Crawling, moving forward inch by inch.

As if not giving up meant he could still catch the car.

Inside the car, Youyou, who had been wiping her tears, turned her head upon hearing Chuanchuan’s voice.

"Yichuan!"

She had thought she was hallucinating, but when she saw that it really was Chuanchuan there to see her off, she cried out excitedly.

Before, she didn’t understand the meaning of "wild with joy," but now she did.

Her heart pounded with excitement, as if it could leap out of her chest at any moment.

The fact that he came for her meant, he must care about her too!

Cheng Youyou immediately turned to her father, "Dad! My best friend Yichuan has come to see me off! Please tell the driver to stop, I want to say goodbye properly!"

Youyou looked up with tears in her eyes, pleadingly.

However, Mr. Cheng’s face was cold, he didn’t take the children’s friendship seriously, and impatiently refused, "He’s just a friend, what’s there to say goodbye for?"

"But he’s my best friend, and he’s my future boyfriend!" Cheng Youyou couldn’t help but argue with a childlike voice.

"I think you’re crazy!" Mr. Cheng couldn’t help but scoff.

A boyfriend?

Freedom to love? In your dreams!

As his daughter, she could only be used for an arranged marriage to bring more benefits to his company!

Mrs. Cheng also interceded, "Old Cheng, just let the children see each other one more time. Otherwise, who knows if they’ll ever have the chance again in their lives."

During this time, she was aware of the children’s friendship.

"You shut up. The child doesn’t know any better, do you not either? Do we have time to waste? Do you want the plane to be delayed? Do you want me to miss my meeting? And then ruin my business?" Mr. Cheng barked fiercely, scolding Mrs. Cheng.
