Chapter 328: Chapter 328 We All Missed You

"What’s going on, why are you still chatting? Here are your photos."

Yue Jiannan’s arrival had rescued a group of innocent girls, who immediately looked at him with eyes full of gratitude before dispersing.

Gong Qiming said with slight dissatisfaction, "Class isn’t over yet. How can these people be so unwilling to learn? I haven’t even discussed the eight conventional methods of portrait photography."

Yue Jiannan wished he could stuff Gong’s mouth, and hurriedly said, "Alright, let’s just look at the photos first."

Gong Qiming quickly took the photos and scrutinized them earnestly.

The photo depicted a girl squatting on the grass, looking up at the camera with a smile.

Her eyes weren’t big, but her smile was incredibly infectious, and her wheat-colored skin, tanned by the sun, indicated a lively disposition.

She was a charming girl.

But... she had nothing to do with his little junior sister.

Gong Qiming’s hands trembled slightly; ever since he heard the name Yue Qingqing, he had been filled with immense anticipation.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to find Yue Jiannan.

But now all hope had vanished, and the taste of bitterness stirred ceaselessly in his chest.

It was rare for Gong Qiming to clench his teeth, unable to utter a word.

Seeing the boy’s changing complexion, Yue Jiannan feared he might tear the photo in his agitation.

"Are you okay... Don’t damage the photo, it’s the only one I have... My niece gave it to me," he said.

Gong Qiming returned the photo to Yue Jiannan with a sense of resignation, "I’m sorry, I was mistaken."

He had delusionally thought that he could encounter his little junior sister here once more.

Watching the boy’s crestfallen departure, Yue Jiannan scratched his head, feeling oddly guilty.

Pah, why should I feel guilty? It’s his fault for lingering like a ghost, trying to inquire about my little niece.

After returning the photo to his roommate, Yue Jiannan hurried to a phone booth with a telephone card in hand.

He had to warn the two kids at home to be extra vigilant, who knows if that child trafficker might make a comeback.

The other members of his family listened as if it were a story, finding it absurd and amusing.

Yet, Yue Qingqing felt something was off, that chatterbox’s character, and the appearance described by Yue Jiannan.

Why did it feel so familiar...?

"Uncle, what did you say his name was?"

Yue Jiannan was taken aback, "Huh? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Yue Xingxing said, "Uncle, you’re so silly. If we know his name, can’t we take precautions in advance?"

"Oh, right, right, right!" Yue Jiannan felt ashamed in the moment, realizing he had forgotten to share this crucial information.

He strained to remember, how did that kid introduce himself on the bus?

"Gong... what was it?" Yue Jiannan, after all, did not have Yue Qingqing’s ability.

The bus journey was already a nightmare he didn’t want to recall, bringing it up just gave him a headache.

How could he clearly remember a full name?

However—

Bang!

Zhang Ying quickly supported Yue Qingqing, "Be careful, did you hit the table corner? Does it hurt?"

Yue Qingqing hastily said it was nothing, gently rubbing her knee, but her heart was tumultuously turning.

Chatty, captivating to look at, and the surname Gong.

With seventy percent certainty, it must be her senior brother.

"Uncle!" Yue Qingqing opened her mouth to ask for more details, but seeing the concerned looks from her family, she couldn’t bring herself to ask.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain her abnormality.

Two people who had never met each other were continuously searching for one another, a premise that sounded utterly bizarre.

Yue Jiannan didn’t hear any follow-up for a while and mused to himself, "Scared? It’s alright, your uncle will definitely protect you. Just don’t wander off after school ends, that’s all."

Yue Qingqing decided to plan meticulously for the future.

"When will uncle be back? We all miss you so much."

Yue Jiannan chuckled smugly to himself, see, it appears I am still an indispensable part of the family.

Despite how Mother usually acts like she’s fed up with me, she might secretly be crying into her blanket.

Yue Jiannan patted his chest and promised, "Perfect timing, the winter break is coming up. I was actually thinking about working in Lingguang before returning home for the New Year. But since you all miss me so much, I’ll come back as soon as the vacation starts!"
