Volume 2 Chapter 70: We Will Definitely Meet Again

  "What's wrong with you, Grandpa Lu?" I asked in surprise.

  "Xī ér, are you really an orphan? Don't you have any relatives?"

  "Grandpa Lu, I don't need to deceive you. Who would want to be all alone? The nuns at the orphanage have seen me grow up, don't believe me? Go ask them."

  "No... I don't disbelieve you. But Xi'er, where did this keychain come from?"

  "I don't know," I said, rubbing my head, "In my impression... it seems to have been with me since I was a kid, haha, that's such a long time ago, I couldn't possibly still remember."

  It's just an ordinary keychain, nothing special about it, but I particularly like the fake crystal on the keychain, at first glance it looks real, so I've been carrying it with me all the time.

  Grandpa Lu asked me like this, and I thought about it again, yeah, I really can't remember when I started having this keychain.

  The nun came, and Old Master Lu changed his question: "Where did Xi'er's keychain come from?"

  "When we first saw Xi'er, she was placed in a basket at the door, without a name or surname. The swaddling clothes wrapped around her were white, so we gave her the surname Bai. It's not uncommon for abandoned children to have some small items left by their parents as identification, hoping that they might be reunited someday. But Xi'er's keychain... I'm sorry, it was over a decade ago, and such a small detail is really hard to remember."

  "Oh... forget it then. Xi'er, put the keychain away."

  "Okay, I have something to attend to, see you all later! Bye for now, Grandpa Lu, see you again sometime!"

  Grandpa Lu looked at me as if he still had a lot to say, but didn't say anything. He just smiled and said: "We will definitely meet again."
