442: Go home

Shen Bei picked up a lost child.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Qiuyi returned.

But Fu Jian was nowhere to be seen.

This made Shen Bei feel like he had picked up a watermelon and dropped a sesame seed.

The three of them stared at each other.

Especially the child, whose head was full of questions.

From the conversation between Shen Bei and Yu Qiuyi just now, the child also realized that an adult was lost…

It was understandable for a child to get lost, but an adult could get lost too?

Are they mentally challenged?

“Let me calm down…” Yu Qiuyi took a deep breath, rubbed her face, and finally calmed down. Then she suddenly looked at the child next to her: “Could my brother have Cultivated some kind of transformation technique? For example, he might have turned himself into this child…”

Shen Bei almost spat blood.

They say love makes one’s IQ plummet.

This also applies to familial affection.

Thinking about it, in some novels, if you hit the small one, the big one comes; if the big one is hit, the old one comes.

Isn't this losing one's mind in the face of familial affection…

Shen Bei said seriously, “Impossible.”

Regardless of whether such a transformation technique exists, even if it did, he would at least transform into a cute little girl.

“That’s true!” Yu Qiuyi sighed to the sky.

Shen Bei thought for a moment, then said, “If Fu Jian is really lost, the mall buildings here are quite noticeable, so even if he’s lost, he should be easy to find.”

“I hope he’s alright,” Yu Qiuyi said worriedly.

“He’s an adult in his twenties, after all, and a Military Martial Artist at that. He won’t be bullied.”

Shen Bei replied.

Who would dare to bully him?

He’s also wearing a Military uniform; even the Apocalypse Cult would steer clear of him.

Of course, the Headhunter Tribe is an exception; they are all lunatics, and they will do what they want regardless of what you wear.

“But what if, while walking, he gets tricked away by some bad woman from who knows where? Don’t look at him like that; if a good-looking woman sweet-talks him, he’s easily fooled. He’s also particularly attractive to women.”

Yu Qiuyi worriedly imagined this, and after a while, she concluded, “The prettier a woman is, the more she lies.”

Crazy!

Shen Bei rolled his eyes. There’s only one thing to be wary of in this place, and that’s a chubby man with a small round face.

That’s the most terrifying thing.

They’ll truly fight you with bayonets.

Yu Qiuyi tried calling Fu Jian’s phone, and as expected, the call didn’t go through.

She sighed.

Since there was no clue, Yu Qiuyi decided to first help the child find his parents with Shen Bei.

Perhaps they would run into Fu Jian along the way.

During the journey, Yu Qiuyi chatted with Shen Bei, and inadvertently, they discussed Fu Jian’s family.

Both of Fu Jian’s parents were single-minded.

At first, Shen Bei was stunned to hear this.

Single-minded, how did they become parents?

This was a clear paradox.

Could it be that Fu Jian sprang from a crack in a rock?

Then, Yu Qiuyi explained.

Simply put, they were not interested in the opposite sex, held extremely negative views on love and marriage, and had no desire for offspring.

Originally, such people would, without incident, truly remain single until death, but an incident occurred.

Fu Jian’s parents met each other. Although no sparks of love flew, they found that their views were largely consistent and they both suffered from pressure from their elders to marry.

So, after in-depth discussion, they drafted a marriage contract: marriage was acceptable, but they wouldn't live together, daily life would not interfere with each other, and property issues would be divided as clearly as possible.

Occasionally, they would meet in private to resolve the issue of physical intimacy, but safety precautions had to be taken.

They were friends when needed, strangers when not.

When breaking up, they had to be decisive and never entangle each other.

It was under these circumstances that one day, for some unknown reason, when they met privately to resolve their desires, they got too carried away, and Fu Jian’s father became too excited and accidentally had a slip-up.

And Fu Jian’s mother was already unconscious and forgot about it, so she didn't have time to deal with it.

She got pregnant.

The elders on both sides were overjoyed upon learning this and used every means at their disposal. Even Yu Qi stepped in to suppress the woman’s desire to abort.

Ultimately, the woman was forced to give birth to Fu Jian.

Shen Bei gasped.

This Fu Jian… his birth was truly an act of heaven.

If this were a typical web novel, he would definitely have the protagonist Physique.

Involuntarily, Shen Bei thought of his own parents.

Ah…

That was a very long time ago.

At this moment, a small tiger doll on Yu Qiuyi’s shoulder bag swayed back and forth.

The child, who had been silent before, now brightened up at the sight and quietly asked, “Auntie, can I touch the little tiger?”

In Sichuan West, if it were a panda doll, no one would care; people living in the mountains could even see wild pandas roaming around.

But a tiger, being a fierce beast from the Northeast, was indeed novel.

Yu Qiuyi raised an eyebrow: “You should call me ‘Older Sister’.”

“Auntie.”

“If you don’t call me ‘Older Sister’, you can’t touch it.”

“Older Sister,” the child said obediently.

“Add ‘beautiful’,” Yu Qiuyi added.

“Beautiful Older Sister,” the child asked with sparkling eyes, “Can I touch your little tiger?”

Yu Qiuyi laughed: “No!”

The child protested: “You’re lying!”

“The prettier a woman is, the more she lies!” Yu Qiuyi shamelessly burst out laughing.

It was truly an overly vivid social practical lesson. The child angrily reached for the little tiger on Yu Qiuyi’s shoulder bag but was easily dodged. However, he seemed to have temporarily forgotten his unease.

Just then, three people approached from a distance opposite them.

One of them was indeed Fu Jian, and the other two looked like a pair of dejected parents.

Fu Jian was talking to them, “Yes, I also accidentally lost my younger sister and Junior… No, you two are more anxious now… Uh…”

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed Shen Bei and the others, his eyes immediately lit up, and he ran over.

“Shen Bei! Little Sister!” he shouted happily.

The parents beside him also looked over, their expressions becoming excited.

The child also ran over excitedly, shouting “Daddy, Mommy.”

It seemed those were his parents.

After a brief reunion, his parents walked over and thanked the three of them.

The man, who seemed to be the husband, said, “Thank you all. We really didn’t know what to do before…”

He patted the child’s shoulder: “Come, thank your Older Brother and Older Sister.”

“Thank you, Older Brother,” the child said childishly, and Shen Bei nodded at him.

Yu Qiuyi, seeing Fu Jian’s return, had already put her mind at ease, but she still couldn’t help but lightly tap his head with a hand chop, “How did you get lost again?”

Fu Jian said awkwardly, “What lost! As a Military, I am helping these parents find their child!”

Yu Qiuyi scoffed, then turned back and asked with a smile, “What about Older Sister?”

The child looked at her, snorted, and turned his head away.

The woman angrily patted his head, and he lowered his head dejectedly, thanking Yu Qiuyi.

The man smiled helplessly and thanked them again. A moment later, they left.

In the distance, the parents walked hand in hand with the child in between them, gradually disappearing.

Yu Qiuyi gazed absently at the elongated silhouettes of the family of three in the setting sun.

“What’s wrong?” Fu Jian looked at her strangely: “Let’s go, it’s time to head to the motorcade.”

Yu Qiuyi nodded and turned to leave.

She walked on Shen Bei’s right, while Fu Jian walked on Shen Bei’s left.

As they walked, Yu Qiuyi suddenly slowed down, then moved to Yu Qiuyi’s left.

“Hmm?” Fu Jian said alertly, “Why are you putting me in the middle?”

“Nothing, nothing.” Saying this, Yu Qiuyi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Hahahahaha.”

Fu Jian looked at Shen Bei in confusion, while Shen Bei pretended not to know and looked at the air.

The three of them arrived at the city’s parking lot.

Yu Qiuyi had already finished checking the goods, re-checked them, and the seals were intact.

After a simple handover.

They went their separate ways, each returning home, each looking for their mother.

…

Three days later.

They arrived safely at the provincial capital.

Shen Bei, to Yu Qiuyi’s astonished gaze, collected a delivery fee and left.

Good heavens!

You can even earn money this way; you truly have a Dao!

Yu Qiuyi rolled her eyes.

Shen Bei, on the other hand, took a taxi to Wu Zhong Logistics.

He planned to settle accounts properly!
