Chapter 403: Chapter 299: My Name is Xiao Yi

"..."

The clicking and clacking sounds came intermittently, the whooshing wind ceaselessly struck his face.

Eve and the boy were sitting in a vehicle heading to a southern city at the moment.

There was a direct bus to the southern city nearby, as well as a train, but... the boy had no identification.

Even with money, he couldn’t get on board.

Moreover, it wasn’t just an identification issue, to date, he didn’t even have any legal existence or birth certificate.

He didn’t even... have a name of his own to this day.

Therefore, they had to opt for the kind of vehicle that only required money to get on the road... back then, commonly referred to as "black-market transportation."

Fortunately, at least Eve wasn’t lacking money, so they were able to find a black-market ride that was available for a fee.

They were thus traveling, gradually leaving the suburbs, crossing the relatively dilapidated outer roads, and finally reaching the relatively smooth city streets.

By the time it was light, they would almost reach their destination.

"..."

Now, the boy... having hardly closed his eyes for a long time, finally had the chance to sit down, and with nothing else to do but wait in the vehicle, he felt an oncoming sense of exhaustion and eventually could no longer resist the urge to sleep, slowly drifting off.

Eve noticed the drowsy boy and, as he finally couldn’t keep his eyes open, she smiled gently.

Then, she tenderly cradled the boy’s head, letting it rest on her legs.

"Sweet dreams..."

Eve stroked his head, watching him slowly fall asleep, emitting even breaths, and she showed what could perhaps be described as a tender smile.

...

"Umm..."

A refreshing breeze tickled the boy’s face, mixed with a scent that gradually roused his consciousness.

It was... the unique smell of dawn that could only be described as the essence of the morning.

Feeling that morning air, the boy saw, as if through a haze, what seemed like his mother’s figure.

By the time the boy woke up, opening his eyes, what he saw was Eve’s face.

"Uh... are you awake?"

Eve looked into his eyes, taken aback, and for some reason, she averted her gaze.

"...?"

The boy, not knowing what she had done while he was asleep, looked at her puzzledly.

"Right, right...!" Eve changed the subject: "I think we’re almost there. Are you hungry? Let’s grab something to eat after we get off."

"..."

The boy nodded silently, then realized he had been resting on Eve’s legs and got up, subsequently looking out the window.

Outside the window was the familiar cityscape, seemingly no different from the cityscapes he had seen in the cities before.

Yet this was another city.

The boy had never left his original place of residence before; this was his first time traveling so far to another city.

After seeing that there was no difference between the other city and his previous one, he seemed puzzled by this strange phenomenon.

If there is no difference between the cities, then... are the people living in different places essentially the same too?

Just then, the driver, quite responsibly, asked where they wanted to get off, mentioning he could stop at more remote locations too.

"..."

But the boy could not answer that question, because he only knew that his mother had come to this city; he had no clue which district or location in the city she could be in.

Therefore, they could only choose to get off the vehicle at a random stop, following Eve to continue wandering aimlessly around the city, seeking a faint hope amidst the vast sea of people.

"Hmm... not sure exactly where to start; I have no idea how to start searching." Eve expressed her concern: "The search range is an entire city; it’s quite hard to find, indeed... Just the two of us, it’s very difficult to find your mother..."

"..." The boy lowered his head in disappointment.

At this moment, Eve didn’t actually wish for the boy to find his mother, but seeing his disheartened expression, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Indeed... do children still need their parents?

Helpless, Eve suggested to the boy:

"It’s going to be very difficult for the two of us, but we can ask for other people’s help. People will certainly want to help a child looking for his mother."

"..."

Hearing these words, the boy seemed to regain some spirit.

"Then..." Eve asked again: "Do you know your mother’s name? Or any characteristics about her? With that information, we can find her faster."

"..." The boy remained silent.

This time, he wasn’t being taciturn as he usually was; he was truly silent, without even a slight movement.

It seemed that he was completely unaware of any details about his mother, nor did he know how to describe her appearance or characteristics.

Therefore, the boy chose silence.

"Ah... you don’t know." Eve too felt helpless, "Without a single piece of information, it’s really too difficult to find someone in the vast crowd."

Moreover, the only characteristic the boy had of his mother was that her child wasn’t by her side.

However, this was not easy to verify, and she might have intentionally concealed it, as she had deliberately left the boy behind.

In any case, the difficulty was immense.

"..."

The boy also noticed the difficulty in Eve’s expression, aware that finding his mother would not be easy.
