Chapter 8

"Hello, we are students from Nan Yue University. We are helping a child find her parents. Do you recognize the lady in this photo? Or if you feel familiar with her or remember any clues related to her, please call the number on this flyer to contact us, okay?"

Near Nan Yue University, at the bus stop below Jiang Ying Square, two boys were distributing flyers to passersby. This "unusual" missing person notice piqued the curiosity of some passersby. Instead of coldly refusing with a wave of the hand, they hesitated, reached out to take the flyers, and listened to Yang Yan's brief explanation!

"Yanzi, we've been distributing flyers for two weeks, and there's still no news. Could it be that her parents are really impossible to find?" Jiang Yuan, holding a stack of flyers, followed behind Yang Yan, his round face covered in sweat.

Indeed, Yang Yan had been distributing flyers for two weeks. At first, thanks to his good relationships, many people from the school helped him distribute flyers on the streets. Now, only he and Jiang Yuan were left. Moreover, Jiang Yuan, despite the scorching sun, was willing to come out with Yang Yan for another reason!

Yang Yan's eyes also showed signs of fatigue, but behind the fatigue, there was a firm determination. He smiled, traced his finger on the back of the flyer, and said to Jiang Yuan, "Jiang Yuan, don't be discouraged! Although we've been searching for two weeks, have you noticed? The areas where we've distributed flyers only cover about 80% of the three-kilometer radius centered around where I got drunk that day. We've only searched the east, northeast, north, southeast, south, northwest, and west directions. There's still the southwest direction, where her mother might be, or she could be a student at a nearby vocational school..."

However, Jiang Yuan didn't want to get into the probability calculations with Yang Yan. He placed his hand on Yang Yan's shoulder and said with a bitter smile, "Yanzi, calm down and listen to me. What if we still can't find them? If you've searched the entire three-kilometer radius and still can't find them, are you going to keep searching?"

Yang Yan was taken aback. He had thought about this question long ago, but he had subconsciously avoided it, not wanting to think about the worst-case scenario.

Just as Jiang Yuan and Yang Yan were talking, a bus pulled up. The doors opened, and a girl with twin pigtails, wearing a short skirt and a baseball jacket, jumped off. She had already seen Yang Yan and Jiang Yuan and ran over happily as soon as she got off the bus: "Brother Yanzi, I'm here to help you!"

Jiang Yuan immediately forgot his worries. He looked at the girl with surprise and grabbed Yang Yan's arm, reminding him, "Yanzi, Shi Yun is here!"

Yang Yan turned his head and smiled, asking the girl, "Shi Yun, you're back? How is your mother?"

Shi Yun had not been in Yangcheng for the past two weeks. Yang Yan and the others had heard from her on QQ that her mother had broken her leg while going down the stairs. Shi Yun had rushed home to visit and take care of her mother and only returned to school yesterday.

After finishing her morning classes, Shi Yun rushed over to help Yang Yan distribute flyers.

"Yes, she's fine now, just needs to rest. And my dad is at home!" Shi Yun felt warm inside from Yang Yan's concern and smiled sweetly at him.

"Shi Yun, tell your aunt to avoid moving around as much as possible during this time and to rest well," Jiang Yuan said from the side.

"Thank you, Senior Jiang Yuan!" Shi Yun was very polite to Jiang Yuan, nodding and smiling as she explained, "My dad has already bought an electric wheelchair for my mom, so there's no need to worry!"

After a brief chat, Yang Yan and the others resumed distributing flyers.

With Shi Yun's help, the efficiency of distributing the flyers improved significantly! Shi Yun had a sweet, doll-like face and a curvaceous figure. She was also outgoing and cheerful, so passersby couldn't bear to refuse her. Whenever she handed out a flyer, they all took it.

However, the weather in Yangcheng in autumn was still quite hot, especially outdoors. Before long, Shi Yun was drenched in sweat. She couldn't help but hug the flyers and sit down on a bench at the bus stop, complaining softly, "Oh, it's so hot!"

Jiang Yuan, who had been following behind Shi Yun, perked up. Although he had been somewhat wilted by the hot exhaust from the cars, he now seemed to have a new lease on life. He walked up with a smile, a bit shyly, and said, "Shi Yun, why don't you take a break? I can help you distribute a few."

Shi Yun blinked and handed the flyers in her hand to Jiang Yuan, smiling happily, "Okay, Senior Jiang Yuan, thank you!"

"No problem, how can it be a trouble?" Jiang Yuan eagerly went to help Shi Yun distribute the flyers.

But after distributing just a few, Jiang Yuan turned into a convenience store. A moment later, he came out carrying a bag of drinks.

Yang Yan, who was still diligently distributing flyers, saw Jiang Yuan's act of kindness and shook his head helplessly.

However, Yang Yan didn't mind. On one hand, since others were helping him, he shouldn't complain too much. On the other hand, Jiang Yuan's crush on Shi Yun was no secret in Dorm 506.

In the past, Jiang Yuan had asked Yang Yan about it. Yang Yan had honestly told him that he had no plans to date in college and that Shi Yun wasn't his type. He only saw her as a close junior. Therefore, Yang Yan had encouraged Jiang Yuan to pursue Shi Yun.

However, Jiang Yuan, the guy, didn't know how to pursue girls. For over two years, no one had seen him make any substantial progress.

Today's act of kindness? It was just a way to gain favor, not really pursuing a girl!

Yang Yan saw through it but didn't say anything, just smiling and shaking his head.

After finishing the flyer distribution at Jiang Ying Square, the three of them had a simple lunch. When they were preparing to go back, Yang Yan created an opportunity for Jiang Yuan.

"I still need to go to the hospital. Jiang Yuan, you and Shi Yun go back to school first!" Yang Yan said.

"Brother Yanzi, why are you going to the hospital?" Shi Yun asked, then immediately thought of the answer and smiled a bit embarrassedly, "Oh, I know, you're going to visit that little girl, right?"

Shi Yun wanted to suggest going with him, but thinking about her aching legs, she hesitated and didn't voice the idea.

Yang Yan smiled and nodded, winking at Jiang Yuan, "Jiang Yuan, you're responsible for safely escorting Little Sister Shi Yun back to the dorm. Not a single hair must be harmed."

Jiang Yuan was in sync, secretly giving Yang Yan a thumbs-up and agreeing wholeheartedly.

"Haha, you're exaggerating too much! There's no danger at all!" Shi Yun laughed, her graceful figure catching Jiang Yuan's eye.

...

At the Third Affiliated Hospital of Nan Yue University, Yang Yan almost came every day. The doctors and nurses in the pediatric ward joked that Yang Yan was almost as familiar with the place as his own home!

So when Yang Yan, carrying a large bag, arrived, a young-looking nurse greeted him, "Little Yang is here!"

"Yep, Senior Hong, good afternoon. Have you had lunch?" Yang Yan smiled and waved at her.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she's just a nurse. She is a legitimate bachelor's degree graduate from the Nursing Department of Nan Yue University, so it's perfectly fine for Yang Yan to call her Senior.

After a brief exchange, Yang Yan eagerly entered the ward to visit the little girl who had been in the hospital for nearly three weeks.

No, we can't keep calling her a "little girl" because she now has her own "name"!

Yang Yan started it, and everyone affectionately calls her Luo Luo or Little Luo Luo!

But why is she called this name?
