Happy Youngsters: Lin Miaomiao and Yingzi are vying to have babies!

Xia Ze looked at Lin Miaomiao. This girl wore heavy black glasses and had short hair that looked like a boy's.

But none of this can hide Lin Miaomiao's cuteness.

Soon, music started playing in their headphones, and the two of them listened to the song quietly, facing each other.

The music playing in her headphones was an English song that Lin Miaomiao couldn't understand, but she liked the melody.

After playing about three or four songs, Lin Miaomiao suddenly asked, "Are all these songs sung by the same person?"

Xia Ze blinked, indicating that it was indeed sung by the same person.

Lin Miaomiao then asked, "This person must be very popular abroad, right? His voice is so nice, but it sounds somewhat familiar."

Lin Miaomiao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this voice could not match all the singers she knew.

"It's alright, sung by an online singer who never shows his face." Xia Ze smiled.

In fact, the online singer is himself, and the songs that Lin Miaomiao listened to were all sung by him.

"Oh, baby baby baby~"

Perhaps she was captivated by what she heard, because Lin Miaomiao started humming softly.

Fortunately, the class was reciting words, and the loud noise drowned out her voice.

"If you're a true brother, don't speak!" Xia Ze quickly reached out and covered Lin Miaomiao's mouth.

"Tch! I sing really well, but I've noticed that this online singer's voice sounds a bit like yours." Lin Miaomiao swatted Xia Ze's hand away.

"Do you think there's a possibility that I sang this song?" Xia Ze proudly raised his head, looking at me with an expression that said, "Come and admire me!"

But Lin Miaomiao clearly didn't believe it, giving her a look as if she were looking at someone with a mental disability: "Isn't it possible that I don't believe it?"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Xia Ze didn't explain. He figured he could just give her a performance later when the opportunity arose.

…………

The day ended quickly.

Usually by this time, Xia Xue would have already found Xia Ze and was going home together, but today Xia Xue was nowhere to be seen.

Qiao Yingzi didn't call until it was almost dark.

"Xia Ze, don't worry, Xiao Xue is at my house." Qiao Yingzi reassured him that everything was alright, and Xia Ze's anxious heart finally calmed down.

Upon hearing Qiao Yingzi's words, he immediately realized what the two of them had been whispering about earlier that day.

"Yingzi, what exactly are you two doing?"

Xia Ze didn't blame them; Xiao Xue definitely had her own reasons for doing this.

She is not an ignorant child.

Scholarly and elegant garden.

Qiao Yingzi looked at Xia Xue doing her homework in the room, thought for a moment, and quietly left the room.

Originally, Xia Xue didn't want her to tell Xia Ze about this, but Qiao Yingzi still felt that Xia Ze should be told.

“Xia Ze, Xiao Xue told me about your family’s situation. I come from a single-parent family, and I can empathize with Xiao Xue’s feelings.”

Over the phone, Qiao Yingzi told Xia Xue all about her and Xia Xue's plans.

After seeing how tolerant Xia Donghai and Liu Mei were of Xia Ze, Xia Xue also wanted to see what their bottom line was for her.

Therefore, she thought of running away from home to test whether Xia Donghai and Liu Mei would also tolerate her.

Ultimately, Xia Xue was being difficult, and she knew she was being difficult. But how could she know what the bottom line was for her family if she didn't act this way?

After hearing this, Xia Ze sighed helplessly; Xiao Xue's defense mechanism still hadn't been eliminated.

"Xia Ze, will you cooperate with us?" Qiao Yingzi asked cautiously on the other end of the phone.

Xia Ze pursed his lips: "I didn't know you were this crazy."

"Hehe! I'm usually driven crazy by studying and doing practice problems, so it's rare to have something so exciting that I can help my best friend. Of course I want to give it a try."

"How about I try something even more exciting?"

"what's up?"

"School's out in a couple of days, I'm inviting you guys to a haunted house. How about it, want to come?"

Today is Thursday, and school will be out in two days. Xia Ze plans to invite Lin Miaomiao and the others to the amusement park.

"Of course I want to go when the class monitor invites me, but my mom might not let me out." Qiao Yingzi felt very discouraged when she thought of her mother.

It seems that my mom, Song Qian, doesn't have any classes this Saturday and Sunday; she'll probably just have to stay home and do practice tests.

"Don't worry! I have a plan."

Xia Ze had also learned about Qiao Yingzi's mother, Song Qian, from Fang Yifan. She was a top lecturer in Kyoto and had a strict personality.

"Okay, Class Monitor, I'll be waiting for your message. Xiaoxue told me to hang up now!" Qiao Yingzi hung up the phone.

After confirming that Xia Xue was safe, Xia Ze returned home alone.

As soon as I got home, I saw Liu Mei and Xia Donghai rushing out the door.

The two breathed a sigh of relief after spotting Xia Ze.

Liu Mei asked worriedly, "Why are you so late today? It's already dark. I called you more than a dozen times but you didn't answer. I was so scared."

After saying that, Liu Mei noticed that Xia Xue had not returned yet, so she asked again, "Where is Xia Xue?"

Xia Ze silently took out a letter from his canvas bag and handed it to Liu Mei. Liu Mei opened it with a puzzled look and began to read it.

"What? Xiaoxue has run away from home!" After reading the message in the letter, Liu Mei almost fainted, but luckily Xia Ze caught her in time.

"Mom, are you alright?" Xia Ze was genuinely startled by Liu Mei's outburst.

"Meimei! Xiaoze, quickly help your mother to the sofa." Xia Donghai was also so frightened that his face turned pale.

"Xia Donghai! Xiaoxue has run away from home, why aren't you going to look for her!" At this moment, Liu Mei didn't care about her own health at all; her mind was entirely focused on Xia Xue's safety.

Chapter Fifteen: Yingzi, are you in an online relationship? (Seeking flowers and ratings)

"Xiaoze, take good care of your mother. I'm going out to find Xiaoxue." Xia Donghai was anxious.

With his wife, who is unwell, on one side, and his daughter, who has run away from home, he now wishes he could be two people.

Fortunately, Xia Ze is still at home, and his wife has their son to take care of her.

"Dad, don't worry. Xiaoxue isn't an unreasonable child. She might be at her grandparents' or a classmate's house right now." Xia Ze didn't tell Xia Donghai Xia Xue's location directly, but instead subtly reminded him that Xiaoxue was at a classmate's house.

However, Xia Donghai was too anxious and didn't understand what Xia Ze meant at all.

He put on his shoes, took out his phone, and prepared to call the police.

Seeing that Xia Donghai was about to call the police, Xia Ze quickly stopped him: "Dad, a missing person case can only be filed after 24 hours. Calling the police now won't do any good."

"Listen to me, instead of calling the police, why don't you ask the other classmates if they've seen Xiaoxue? It would be best to ask those who are close to her."

Hearing this, Xia Donghai calmed down.

He'd heard a few names from Xia Ze and Xiao Xue these past few days, something like Qiao Yingzi, Lin Miaomiao, or something like that.

"I'll contact the other parents right now. Xiaoze, can you call Grandpa and ask if Xiaoxue has gone to Grandpa's house?"

After saying that, Xia Donghai opened the parents' WeChat group.

Liu Mei lay on the sofa, panting heavily. Xiao Xue's running away from home had really frightened her.

"Donghai, do you think I did something wrong? Is that why Xiaoxue ran away from home?"

Liu Mei's voice was trembling with tears.

She knew that Xiaoxue's running away from home was definitely because of her, but she had really put a lot of effort into Xiaoxue.

She knew that girls were thoughtful, so she always put Xiaoxue first. She knew that Xiaoxue lacked maternal love, so she favored Xiaoxue even more.

Even so, Xiaoxue still wouldn't accept her.

Xia Donghai sighed as he looked at the heartbroken Liu Mei. He knew all too well how much his wife had sacrificed.

If it were any other stepmother, she simply wouldn't have had that kind of patience.

"I always thought Xiaoxue was very sensible, but this time she really went too far." Xia Donghai was genuinely angry this time.

Xia Ze patted Liu Mei's back to help her catch her breath.

"Mom, don't blame Xiaoxue. She did this because she didn't have a mother's love when she was young and is afraid to integrate into this family. Believe me, we will definitely become a family in the future."

Hearing Xia Ze's words, Liu Mei felt very gratified.

Fortunately, my eldest son is quite sensible.

“I know, that’s why I’ve never blamed Xiaoxue.” Liu Mei patted Xia Ze’s hand.

Liu Mei really felt sorry for Xia Xue, who had lost her mother at a young age.

Song Qian also learned about Xia Xue's background from Qiao Yingzi. Although Song Qian's personality is strict, she is indeed very loving.
