Chapter 2 Back to Your Hometown
This morning, Jiang Chengren was still having an experimental class at school, and the counselor rushed in in a hurry, telling him with a serious face that something urgent happened at home, and told him to go back immediately.

He imagined countless possibilities, either Yu Tingxuan's kid didn't do his homework at school and was called a parent by the teacher, or someone made Xuan Ran's girl unhappy.

But he never expected that the so-called urgent matter was to pick up the third miss of the Xuan family.

"To pick up Miss San from the Xuan family?" Jiang Cheng frowned suspiciously when he heard what Yu Tingxuan conveyed on his behalf, "When did the Xuan family have Miss San?"

The corners of Yu Tingxuan's mouth twitched, "Brother Jiang Cheng, you have clearly seen Xuan Li and said she is cute, and you will marry her as your wife in the future!"

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, trying to recall: "Really, when did it happen?"

Yu Tingxuan counted the years forward with his fingers, "15 years ago, I still heard what Grandpa Xuan said."

Then he was punched on the top of the head, Jiang Cheng said with annoyed voice: "15 years ago? I was only five years old, who remembers this?"

Yu Tingxuan covered his head with tears in his eyes, "You can't change what you said even if you forget it...why do you still hit people to tell the truth!"

Jiang Cheng bent his long legs and put them on the horizontal bar of the chair, "No answer."

"But Grandpa Xuan asked you to pick him up by name." Yu Tingxuan looked at him anxiously, "Grandpa Xuan is so sick, can't you fulfill his wish? He hasn't seen Xuanli in 15 years."

"Xuan Li?" Jiang Cheng said the name slowly, then suddenly smiled, "Grandpa Xuan named it? It's either a plant or a food."

"I think it sounds nice, whether it's Brother Xuanzhu's name or Xuanli," Yu Tingxuan rubbed his hands expectantly, "This Xuanli must be a girl as sweet as her name!

Jiang Cheng stood up, tugged at his collar, "Okay, I'll pick her up."

Yu Tingxuan immediately took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "This is where Xuanli lives now."

Jiang Cheng took a look, and was so angry that he scolded his mother: "In the south of the Yangtze River? Do you know how far it is from Beijing?"

"I know... I know," Yu Tingxuan shrank his neck in fright, "Brother Jiang Cheng is the only one in the courtyard, you have a driver's license as an adult."

"Heh," Jiang Cheng gripped the piece of paper tightly, "Master Xuan just bullied and bullied me."

Yu Tingxuan had already run to the door, afraid that he would take his anger out on him. "You promised, but don't go back on your word! Grandpa Xuan said that it's best to see Xuan Li tomorrow!"

Jiang Cheng drove for more than three hours to reach Jiangnan, but got lost in this winding town.He didn't want to admit that he misread the navigation because of Lu Chi.

"What's wrong?"

The girl's sweet voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

Looking at the little girl in front of him who looked so weak that she could fall in the wind, Jiang Cheng raised his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand, "Let's go, Miss Xuan San."

Xuan Li took his hand and stood up, then asked slowly, "Where are you going?"

Her palm was warm, tickling his heart like a feather. "Go back to the courtyard house in Kyoto, your hometown."

She stared slightly, and shook her head lightly, "I won't go back, Yanyu Town is my home."

Jiang Cheng sneered, "Little girl, don't forget your mother when you get a new house, Kyoto is where you were born. Besides, this small place is not as prosperous as Kyoto."

Xuan Li lowered her eyes, her crow-feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly, "I think Jiangnan is very good, and I don't plan to go back again. It's hard work for you to travel a long way here to find me."

She pursed her lips, and added: "It's getting late now, you can stay in the hotel first and then go back tomorrow. The clothes... I will wash them and return them to you tomorrow."

Jiang Cheng rubbed her hair a few times as punishment, and his tone was not as warm as before.

"If your grandfather is dying of illness, you don't plan to go back to see him?"

Xuan Li raised her eyes in astonishment, "Grandpa...is he critically ill?"

In fact, Jiang Cheng didn't know about Mr. Xuan's condition, and what Yu Tingxuan said was quite exaggerated.

He didn't answer directly, but asked, "So are you going back?"

Xuan Li frowned in confusion, and said after a while, "I'll talk to Aunt Qiu and Uncle Huo when I go back."

Jiang Cheng nodded, and pressed the switch on the car key, "Alright then, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

She watched him drive away before picking up the food box on the ground again.

The food box in the rain was already a little cold, so when I saw Huo Lishen, I felt very guilty.

Xuan Li was afraid that he would be worried when he saw her appearance, so she had already wiped her face clean and tidied up her messy hair before coming.

"Uncle Huo, there was an accident on the road, and I'm late."

Huo Lishen wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the food box she handed over, and smiled. "It's okay, you were asked to travel so far to deliver food in the rain."

He noticed the unfamiliar denim jacket on Xuan Li, and asked casually, "Why haven't I seen this dress before?"

She was startled, looked away guiltily, and lowered her voice: "This is my new clothes."

Huo Lishen didn't notice her expression, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to be willing to buy new clothes for yourself. There are quite a lot of child support payments from there every month, but you just don't want to use it, and insist on giving it to me." us."

Xuan Li bit her lip, "Uncle Huo, I have something very important to tell you."

He looked at her kindly, "what's the matter?"

"My grandfather is critically ill, and he sent someone to pick me up and return to Kyoto."

Huo Lishen's smile froze, his expression darkened, "This day is still here."
