I don't want to be your wife.

Qi Han picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words. Soon after, the loudspeaker on the third floor of the high school started broadcasting.

"Next, please welcome student representative, Su Mumu from Class 7 of Senior Three, to the stage to speak!"

Suddenly it became lively.

Even Su Mumu's former classmates didn't know that Su Mumu was going to speak on stage. All the senior students subconsciously thought that Song Jiuyao would be the one to speak.

The name Song Jiuyao represents so much that it's almost unsettling to see someone else in this situation.

Sure enough, everyone in Song Jiuyao's class focused their attention on her.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I'm the one going on stage. Can't you show some respect for Su Mumu?"

After glancing at the students in the class, Song Jiuyao shouted at Su Mumu on the stage.

Wow! Little Mumu, you're amazing!

At this moment, everyone, who had been stunned for a while, began to applaud and welcome Su Mumu.

"Ahem, hello everyone, I'm Su Mumu from Class 7 of Senior Three. It's an honor for me to give a speech at today's 100-day countdown rally..."

After the standard speech went through the motions, everyone realized that Su Mumu was the one who had come on stage this time.

Qin Feng walked up.

"Next, let's welcome Principal Qin Feng to give a speech!"

To accommodate Qin Feng's peculiar habit of occasionally strolling around the school, the school gave him the title of vice principal in name only, which sounded much better.

But now everyone knows why Su Mumu was the one who went on stage.

People in grades 10 and 11 might not have heard of them, but it's impossible that there are grade 12 students who haven't heard of them.

This day seems to be a bit more lively than in previous years.

A 100-day countdown rally is still just a 100-day countdown rally.

Today was just a rare moment of excitement for the senior high school students. After it ended, everyone went home, but on the way back, they had one more topic to talk about.

Except for that little guy who took leave.

"Phew~ The food in the hospital is definitely not as good as what we eat here."

The familiar stall, the familiar uncle, the familiar hand-pulled pancakes—Qin Feng even has photos he took here last year on his phone.

"Uncle, do you remember me? I used to come here all the time!"

"I remember, I remember! They tricked me out of a scallion pancake last year, I've remembered it for a whole year, hahaha!"

The uncle continued his kung fu moves even while joking around.

"I remember you said last year that everyone was in their second year of high school? No, they were in their first year, no more than that."

The uncle glanced at Su Mumu a couple more times, especially at her chest, with a hint of self-doubt.

It's obvious that the uncle remembered Su Mumu, but he didn't remember how he lost the scallion pancake.

"Uncle, I'm a senior in high school."

The man hesitated for a moment, then stopped putting the pork tenderloin he was holding in the clip.

"Hey kid, I only run a small business. I apologized last time, so can I skip the apology this time?"

He looked like he was about to run away when he saw the city management officers.

"Hehe, add a skewer of chicken strips!"

"it is good!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Su Mumu has grown up and knows how to use her physical defects to morally blackmail others.

But only a cute and lovable girl like Su Mumu would receive such treatment; anyone else would never be treated this way.

"This uncle is a really nice guy, that's why I especially like coming here."

"Everyone seems pretty nice to you, right?"

Qin Feng had witnessed Su Mumu's power firsthand.

A lively, cute, and endearing little girl will naturally inspire kindness in most people, even without being told. At such a stall, if you buy chicken strips, people are generally willing to give you two extra.

It seems that wherever Su Mumu goes, everyone is influenced by her.

"Hehe~"

Perhaps it is precisely because she has been surrounded by kindness since childhood that Su Mumu has been able to grow into the person she is today.

After buying a few snacks along the way, the two embarked on their journey home again.

"Sis, we're back!"

After spending two weeks in the hospital, to be honest, I had long been thinking about Su Qing's cooking. What I ate on the way here was just a treat; now it's time to focus on the real meal.

"You're back? Wash your hands and have some food."

Su Qing took off her apron and knocked on her door.

"Qin Baifeng, dinner's ready!"

"Has Qin Baifeng not left yet?"

Su Mumu had no idea that Qin Baifeng, this uninvited guest, was still in her house; she thought he had left long ago.

"No, she's still waiting for you to take her to find her dad."

Before Su Qing could finish speaking, the door to the room opened, and a dejected Qin Baifeng walked out of the room.

With messy hair, disheveled pajamas, and large areas of exposed skin, Qin Baifeng was completely unrecognizable from his previous self.

It seems that Qin Congzhi's disappearance has been a big blow to her.

“Su Mumu…”

Upon seeing Su Mumu, Qin Baifeng finally perked up a bit.

For no other reason than that Su Mumu is now her only way to find her father.

They searched his dilapidated home, his workplace, everywhere they went, but they just couldn't find him.

"Get dressed first. You're such a grown-up, why can't you dress yourself?"

Helpless, Su Mumu could only go forward and straighten Qin Baifeng's clothes. Fortunately, Qin Feng was going to park the car and would come up a few minutes later, otherwise it would have been bad.

"Wait until tomorrow. We'll set off tomorrow to find your dad, but before that, let's have some food, okay?"

Qin Baifeng simply nodded, but Su Qing seemed a little reluctant to part with him.

With her parents gone, and her eldest sister acting as her mother, how could Su Qing not worry?

Are we really ready?

"Well, even if we don't make a move, they won't let us go, so why don't we make the first move and catch them off guard?"

After preparing for so many days, Su Mumu had finally made up her mind.

(I feel like I've been writing a bit sloppy lately, I'll write something more substantial tomorrow.)

Chapter 290 Seaside Skewers

There are no flights from P City to other countries, so they need to go to Shanghai first and then transfer there, which will take nearly twenty hours.

Su Mumu didn't plan to waste time traveling, so after dinner, the group headed out, intending to spend the night on the plane – a way to save time.

"Are you really ready? Don't you need me to come along?"

Su Mumu's parents were unaware of her plans. If something really happened to Su Mumu, aside from their own consciences, Su Qing didn't know how to explain it to Su Mumu's parents.

"Trust me, I will definitely come back! Before you leave, give me a big hug!"

The person in front of her had already opened their arms, so Su Qing had no choice but to hug them back.

Su Qing has been feeling somewhat guilty lately.

As the older sister, I was not there for Su Mumu when she needed me most. Although Su Mumu now has someone who cares about her more, I feel like I failed as her older sister.

Too late! This adorable little sister has been snatched away.

"Then I can only wish you success."

What's happening now is beyond Su Qing's control.

Want her to fight? How about I show you how to change size on the spot?

Su Qing could only prepare a banquet at home to celebrate Su Mumu and Qin Feng's successful return.

Oh, and there's this guy Qin Baifeng too.

Bye-bye~

After waving goodbye, the group boarded a plane to Shanghai.

Putting everything else aside, this was Qin Feng's first time on an airplane and his first time visiting Shanghai.

As one of the country's largest modern cities, Qin Feng had never seen anything like it before. He never expected that his first visit here would be for this reason.

Here, even Qin Feng is nothing special. If you throw a brick at someone, you feel like you could smash out a few guys with straw hats and tens of millions in their pockets.

An hour and a half flight passed in the blink of an eye, and now it seems I can already see the bustling city below.

Unlike Qin Feng, Su Mumu comes here often.

Every summer vacation and National Day holiday, Su Mumu would come to Shanghai, where she met Lin Xiuyun.

However, the hour or so between flights was not enough for Su Mumu to take Qin Feng to explore this city with nearly 20 million inhabitants, and even strolling around the area near the airport seemed quite difficult.

"Here you go, instant coffee from the airport, it has a unique flavor."

Prices at the airport were ridiculously high. For the impoverished Su Mumu of the past, nothing at the airport was affordable, except for hot water.

Therefore, Su Mumu has a habit of finding a supermarket on her way to the airport and buying two packets of instant coffee.

This way, she could have a warm coffee while waiting for her flight. Free hot water and two yuan for coffee were not bad compared to the one hundred and thirty-eight yuan coffee over there.

"Thank you, Mumu. It seems you come here often."

"Well, there are a lot of anime conventions here, and I've been to quite a few of the major cities in this country, besides Shanghai."

For Su Mumu, who was homeless, staying in P City during summer and winter vacations was far less enjoyable than traveling around, but going abroad was indeed a first for her.

Shanghai truly lives up to its reputation as a city that never sleeps; even at this late hour, it's still brightly lit.

The world will not be swayed by anyone's will. Even as they are engaged in such a dangerous pursuit, everyone here continues to live their lives happily.

"Mumu, how about we go out for a walk?"

"Go out? But the plane only has about an hour to fly away."

Su Mumu looked outside and wondered if there was anywhere nearby that she could visit in an hour.

"I don't need to go anywhere, I just want to go out for a walk."

The sea isn't actually that far from the airport. Even from the second floor, you can see the waves of the sea, something Qin Feng had never seen before.

He didn't really want to go anywhere; he just wanted to see the sea with Su Mumu.

"I see, then okay!"

As for Qin Feng's request, why should Su Mumu refuse?

Even if the plane really does take off, we can just take the next one. It'll be a little late, Ilulu probably won't mind... right?

"Dear passengers, flight XXX from Shanghai to Delanhei has been delayed due to weather conditions. Please pay attention to the announcements for the exact departure time."

The announcement dispelled Su Mumu's last worry, because it was the plane they were about to board.

Although flight delays are not uncommon, Su Mumu had witnessed flights delayed by nearly ten hours before, but this was the first time she had encountered one herself.

It just so happens that I was going to go out to play a little later than usual. Isn't that a bit of a coincidence?

"We're lucky, aren't we? Now we have more time, right?"

Qin Feng was also quite surprised that his first flight was delayed, but he couldn't say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

“Yes,” Su Mumu turned to Qin Baifeng, “You watch our things for us, how about we go out for a walk? We’ll bring you some snacks when we come back.”

"Ah."
