Li Liang spent the whole noon with his parents at the big shopping mall. His mom bought him some gifts and clothes, and also bought some for Bai Shutong to take back.

In the end, Old Li still bought two figurines and a Lego set for Li Liang, which made him feel both speechless and happy.

And so, the three of them spent the noon in the big shopping mall. After lunch, Mom, Dad, and Li Liang parted ways.

Standing on the roadside, Li Liang asked with some confusion, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Can't you stay for a couple more days?"

Mom opened her mouth, but finally sighed and said, "No, we have a flight this afternoon. You..."

Li Liang watched the taxi drive away, standing blankly on the spot, feeling a mix of emotions.

He always felt like his parents were hiding something from him, but he had already told them about Bai Shutong, so he didn't understand what else could be going on.

"Could it be... that I was also adopted???"

Li Liang suddenly had this thought, but when he thought about how he was almost carved from the same mold as Old Li, he smiled wryly and shook his head.

Right now, he didn't know where Bai Shutong and the others had gone. They weren't answering their phones, so he could only return the way he came.

However, when he returned to the hotel, he was dumbfounded. He had forgotten to bring the room card!

"Damn it, I'm done for! I remember it was clearly in my pocket, where did I put it!"

Li Liang searched all the pockets on his body, but in the end, he couldn't find the room card.

"Damn, I can only call them and ask. I hope they don't ignore me."

He sighed and took out his phone to call Song Junling.

She was one of the few people who could be considered reliable, right? She shouldn't be so mischievous as to reject the call.

However, as soon as he made the call, he noticed something was wrong.

Li Liang faintly seemed to hear the sound of a phone ringing inside the room. Just as he was about to stick to the door to listen, the phone suddenly connected.

"Hello? Where did you guys go?"

On the phone, a fragmented voice sounded: "We....are.....What's wrong?"

"? What's wrong? I don't have the room card. Can one of you come back and bring it to me?"

He heard a lot of wind noise on the phone, but there wasn't that much wind outside at all. Could it be that they had run off to another place??

Song Junling's voice came: "We're not available right now. Find an internet cafe and play for a while."

"... Okay, then."

Hanging up the phone, Li Liang frowned, but there was no point in standing at the door, so he could only go out and find an internet cafe to pass the time.

After he left, the room door was suddenly opened.

A small head peeked out sneakily, but just as she was about to speak, another big hand grabbed her back.

Bai Yaya pouted and covered her head, complaining, "Hey, what are you doing, Sister Shutong?"

Bai Shutong gently tapped her head and said, "What if he didn't leave? Wouldn't we be exposed if you did that?"

"Well, I saw him walking downstairs."

It turned out that just now, when Li Liang was calling, Song Junling forgot to mute her phone, almost exposing them. With quick wit, Song Junling took the phone and ran into the bathroom to answer the call, while Song Junyao blew wind into the microphone, simulating a "very windy" environment.

At this time, she was shyly walking out of the bathroom, looking at the others who were diligently sticking balloons, and scratched her head apologetically: "Sorry, I forgot to mute it."

Bai Shutong shook her head: "It's okay, let's continue. Let's try to finish before he comes back next time."

"Okay."

......

On the other side, Li Liang found an internet cafe, booked a private room, and then slumped on the chair, his head in a mess.

"Bai Shutong... So it was you."

Ever since he remembered that incident, Li Liang had a feeling that Shen Yueyan herself seemed to have known him when he was little.

After all, she appeared so suddenly, and expressed the same feelings for him at their first meeting. He didn't think he had that much charm.

Moreover, Shen Yueyan hadn't appeared since his mother showed up. The two of them never appeared at the same time, it seemed like... she was avoiding his mother.

"Hey, really, why think so much? The boat will naturally sink when it reaches the bridge, just do it."

Shaking his head, Li Liang turned on the computer. After all, he had paid for it, so how could he just sit there and be dazed? He would get to it.

After playing Genshin Impact for a while and some other games for a while, in the blink of an eye, it was already seven in the afternoon.

"I feel like the place where time passes the fastest is any vacation spot and internet cafes..."

Li Liang turned off the computer and left the internet cafe. He had only eaten one meal during the day, and now he felt hungry, so he planned to find a place nearby to eat something.

He glanced in the direction of the hotel, and then took out his phone. He saw that there were no messages or missed calls, and sighed sadly.

Recalling what his mother said, Li Liang suspected that these people had really run away.

"Forget it, I'll send a message and ask. Otherwise, I really have to find a gaming hotel to spend the night,"

He took out his phone and sent a message to the group: [Are you guys back yet? I'm going to eat, do you want me to bring some back for you?]

To Li Liang's surprise, there was a message very quickly. He saw that it was a voice message sent by Bai Yaya: [What, you're going to eat? No! Come back quickly, we're back.]

Li Liang was confused after listening to it. It's fine if they're back, but why won't they let him eat?

He ignored Bai Yaya and replied: [Since you don't need it, then I'll go eat first.]

After saying that, he put his phone in his pocket.

On the other side.

Bai Yaya looked anxiously at her phone, sending several messages in a row, but no one replied. She even tried calling, but they didn't answer.

She slumped on the sofa and asked, "What should we do? Could it be that he's angry because we didn't answer his calls?"

Bai Shutong also didn't expect this step. She took out her phone and saw that it was already past seven o'clock, and suddenly thought of something, shaking her head slightly: "No, he wouldn't with his personality. It's already past seven in the evening, his phone should have automatically turned on Do Not Disturb mode."

Shen Yueyan sighed and said, "Or, should we go out and look for him? If we let him eat by himself, wouldn't all our efforts today be in vain?"

Song Junling was about to agree, but when she looked down at her clothes, her face suddenly turned red, and she didn't dare to speak.

"Hey, wait! Li Liang replied."

Bai Yaya suddenly felt her phone vibrate, and looked down to see that it was Li Liang's reply.

Everyone quickly gathered around, only to see three short words on the screen:

"Open the door."
