Time passed slowly, and Li Tian didn't know how long she had been waiting.

Li Siwen hadn't returned yet, but she felt the urge to urinate.

Other things can be compromised, but no one can hold their pee.

Li Tian looked around at the surrounding buildings; the nearest teaching building was probably a hundred or two meters away.

With her short legs, she could hardly make it through.

Then you can only go to the nearest one. If someone stops you, just talk to them nicely, and they shouldn't make things difficult for you.

Li Tian entered the library following the route Li Siwen had just taken.

"Little friend, this is a library. Please go outside to play."

Li Tian looked at the old teacher who had spoken, "Grandpa, I need to go to the toilet, I really can't hold it in anymore."

"I promise I'll come out as soon as I use the restroom."

Where are your parents?

"I came with my aunt, her name is Li Siwen. We've been in the library for a while now."

The old teacher recalled that a female student surnamed Li had come in.

"If you walk straight down this stairwell, the restroom is at the very end. Do you know where the women's restroom is?"

"Yes, thank you."

Li Tian started jogging towards her goal.

The old teacher pushed up his glasses, looked at the small figure from behind, and smiled silently.

Children are so innocent and adorable.

After relieving herself, Li Tian, ​​curious about the library at this time, went up the stairs to the second floor from the restroom.

She just went in to take a look.

The bookshelves were quite empty, with few books on them, presumably because the books damaged during the catastrophe had not yet been replaced.

And because it was still during the holidays, there were very few students inside.

The entire floor was completely silent.

Li Tian couldn't make a sound, and no one noticed her.

The maze of rows of bookshelves quickly trapped Li Tian, ​​who was still curiously looking around.

As she walked, she lost her way back.

Li Tian remained calm and observed the situation carefully from her spot.

However, the old building doesn't even have signs for escape routes, making it difficult for someone of her height to find a way out.

Since there was no exit in sight, the only option was to ask someone for directions.

Li Tian walked for quite a while before encountering a boy who was looking down at a book.

"Brother, I can't find the way to the stairs. Can you show me?"

The man suddenly heard a child speaking and looked up in surprise.

"Are you Siwen's niece?"

Li Tian looked closely and realized it was Zhang Qizhe.

But Li Tian pretended not to recognize her, asking, "You know me?"

"Did you go to the station with your dad to pick up Siwen that day?"

Li Tian nodded, no longer denying it.

"I am your aunt's classmate."

"Oh, could you give me directions? Just tell me which way to go."

Zhang Qizhe got up and looked around, then pointed to the passageway to Li Tian's right, "Just keep walking that way and you'll see the stairs."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Li Tian thanked him and left.

He didn't even bother to ask Li Siwen, and Li Tian would never say a word.

Following the path pointed out by Zhang Qizhe, Li Tian walked for only three or four minutes before seeing the stairs.

Regardless of whether it was the place we came from, let's go down first and figure it out later.

The elderly teacher was still sitting in his chair reading a book.

Li Tian thanked her as she passed by and asked if Li Siwen had gone out.

"A female student just left, but she didn't complete the borrowing procedure, so I don't know if she's the person you're looking for."

"Thank you, Grandpa," Li Tian said again.

The old teacher smiled and waved to Li Tian.

Li Tian came out but did not see Li Siwen.

It took her more than ten minutes to get into the building. Where did Li Siwen go?

Even if they haven't found Zhang Qizhe, they should have come out by now.

Have we forgotten about her, this little child?

That's so unreliable!

Instead of searching everywhere, it's better to just wait where you are.

Li Tian sat back down on the steps.

She had been watching the ants coming and going for a long time, and had long since lost interest.

As the sun rose higher into the sky, Li Tian's anger began to rise again...

It's unclear how much time passed before Li Siwen finally sat down next to Li Tian and gently hugged her small body.

Sensing someone beside her, Li Tian regained consciousness.

After realizing who it was, Li Tian was furious.

"Auntie, have you forgotten about me?"

"Yes or no?!"

"Luckily, I was afraid of getting lost, so I didn't look for you everywhere. Otherwise, where would you have found me?"

Li Siwen's low mood instantly turned into guilt.

"Tian Tian, ​​it's my fault for keeping you waiting so long..."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

"If you continue to be so irresponsible, I will definitely tell Grandma and have her deduct your allowance."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's all my fault..."

Li Tian wasn't the type to hold a grudge, so she asked, "Where did you go?"

"He wasn't in the library, so I went to his usual study room, but he wasn't there either."

Li Tian was speechless.

Oh well, she's just my aunt, not my biological mother.

We shouldn't have too high expectations.

"Auntie, I'll forgive you this time, but I want to eat roast duck."

"Okay, I'll treat you to Peking duck."

Li Siwen helped Li Tian up and brushed the dust off her skirt.

Li Tian didn't mention meeting Zhang Qizhe.

Once she says it, Li Siwen might have to go to the library again.

She didn't want to wait any longer.

It was too hot, so Li Siwen hailed another tricycle.

The aunt and niece went straight to Quanjude.

If you're going to eat, you should eat the most authentic stuff.

"Auntie, the roast duck smells so good, cheer up!"

"I'm not unhappy!"

Li Siwen clearly had no appetite, but she was just being stubborn.

Li Tian pursed her lips, not trying to persuade Li Siwen to eat, but she ate.

Spread out the pancake, place two slices of duck meat on it, without any scallions or anything, just spread a little bit of sauce on it.

Finally, roll it up with the dough.

One bite, and it's so delicious!

Unfortunately, Li Tian had a small stomach; being able to eat a third one was already her limit.

"If you like it, let's come again next time. Don't force yourself."

Li Siwen served Li Tian a bowl of thick soup made from duck bones, hoping it would make her feel better.

"Auntie, you should eat it while it's hot too."

Li Siwen used a handkerchief to wipe Li Tian's mouth. "You're eating. You're eating so heartily. Even if you don't have an appetite, you can still eat a few more."

"That's more like it. If you've spent the money, you should be happy."

Li Siwen pinched Li Tian's cheek, "I'm just a little disappointed today, not that I'm unhappy."

Li Tian didn't know what to say, so she pointed to the soup in the bowl.

"This soup is also good, it tastes delicious."

Li Siwen picked up a soup spoon, took a few sips, and called the waiter to wrap up the rest of the roast duck.

Those who have experienced famine cannot stand the waste of food.

Not just the Li family, but everyone is like this.

Li Tian didn't understand these things, but she still supported not wasting a single grain of rice.

During the hottest part of the day, the aunt and niece naturally hailed a tricycle to go home.

Nobody wants to walk more, and nobody wants to squeeze onto the bus again.

After arriving home, the two of them went back to their respective rooms in perfect unison; a midday nap in the sweltering summer heat was definitely necessary.

The first thing I do after waking up is to have a piece of cool, sweet watermelon.

After putting down the watermelon, Aunt Zhang said, "Tian Tian, ​​Yuan Jun came to see you this morning, and he was with someone who looked like his mother."
