Zhang Xiaotao felt a little sweet inside, and suddenly leaned over and kissed Chen Xiao on the cheek.
They had already arrived in K City. The train had slowed down and was pulling into the station. Zhang Xiaotao pulled Chen off the train with the flow of people, and the two walked out of the train station hand in hand.
When Chen Xiao arrived outside the station and saw travel agencies soliciting customers and unlicensed taxi drivers speaking with a K City accent, his expression suddenly changed. After all, he was from K City, and hearing the familiar accent stirred something within him.
Later, the two got into a taxi. When the driver asked where they were going, Chen Xiao suddenly, as if possessed, gave the address in the local dialect of K City!
Hearing Chen Xiao suddenly speak in his native dialect, Zhang Xiaotao immediately realized what was happening and looked at Chen Xiao with surprise. However, she noticed that Chen Xiao's expression was a bit strange. He had his brows tightly furrowed and his face was actually a little pale, as if he was deep in thought about something.
Zhang Xiaotao didn't dare interrupt Chen Xiao's train of thought, and could only look at Chen Xiao nervously.
The car had originally driven into the city, and was supposed to go to the hotel that had been booked.
But halfway there, Chen Xiao suddenly spoke up.
He gave the driver a place name and an address in City K, and the driver immediately turned around!
Zhang Xiaotao looked at Chen Xiao and noticed that Chen Xiao's face was getting paler and paler, and there was even some sweat seeping from his forehead, as if he was in pain. She couldn't help but worry: "Chen Xiao?"
"It's nothing." Chen Xiao forced a smile: "An address suddenly popped into my head... I think it might be a place that's meaningful to me... I'll go take a look."
"Your complexion..."
"It's nothing, I just had a bit of a headache when I was thinking about it just now." Chen Xiao sighed, leaning back in his seat, his face full of fatigue.
Zhang Xiaotao didn't dare to say anything more. She sensed that Chen Xiao might have remembered something important. At this moment, it might be Chen Xiao's hope to regain his memory. How could she dare to interrupt?
Unfortunately, Chen Xiao didn't remember anything else along the way, nor did he say anything more.
………
In the southern part of K City, far from the most bustling area of the city, on the shore of Lehu Lake, lies a villa residential area that is a typical affluent residential area.
The taxi drove along the lakeside road and then stopped at a fork in the road.
"It seems... to be this place." After getting out of the car, Chen Xiao looked around, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, yet also a faint sense of familiarity.
The rows of European-style villas and small houses on both sides, the lush trees, and the green lawns caused Chen Xiao's gaze to change again.
What worried Zhang Xiaotao was that Chen Xiao's face seemed to be getting paler and paler!
Chen Xiao stood there, looking around for a long while. Several minutes passed before he suddenly seemed to confirm something in his mind, pointing in one direction of the fork in the road: "This is it! That's right! I remember this is the road!"
After saying that, he didn't even wait for Zhang Xiaotao before striding down in that direction, and Zhang Xiaotao quickly followed him, jumping and skipping.
Chen Xiao took a side road after leaving the main road, and then entered a villa area. At first, he would occasionally stop to think about the way, but later he walked faster and faster, and when he reached a fork in the road, he did so without hesitation.
A moment later, the two arrived in front of a house!
The house is under construction. Some renovation workers have set up ladders, some are repairing and painting the exterior of the house, some are repairing tiles, and some are painting. There are also a few workers in the yard mending the lawn.
Standing in front of the house, Chen Xiao suddenly stopped. In Zhang Xiaotao's eyes, Chen's expression became extremely strange. His eyes widened as he stared intently at the house in front of him...
This is Chen Xiao's "home"!! It's the old house he used to live in that he bought back a few days ago!!
Chen Xiao's body began to tremble noticeably, and the pain on his face deepened. He rubbed his forehead vigorously with one hand, as if trying hard to recall something. Zhang Xiaotao worriedly grasped Chen Xiao's other hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Chen Xiao... think slowly. It's okay if you can't remember right away. Don't force yourself... you..."
"I'm fine," Chen Xiao said through gritted teeth.
Just then, the door opened, and a man in a shirt walked out. He was holding a phone and a laptop, and as he walked, he was giving instructions to the workers beside him. When he came out of the house, he saw Chen Xiao standing outside the yard. The man was stunned for a moment, and then his face lit up with surprise. He ran out in a few steps.
"Mr. Chen! My goodness, you've finally shown up!! I haven't been able to get through to you on the phone these past few days, I haven't been able to contact you at all!! I've done everything you asked me to do, I've hired workers to come back and renovate this house according to your instructions, everything is done exactly as you requested! The furniture is all ordered too! The first payment you made is also used up! The furniture order is all done, but I can't contact you, I can't get paid, and they won't ship the goods!! You've come at the perfect time, the furniture factory has been urging me several times!!"
This person was the real estate agent surnamed Zhu who sold the house to Chen Xiao.
This guy has been really anxious these days. After such a big deal, the commission is inevitable, but the client Chen Xiao suddenly disappeared, which has kept Mr. Zhu up at night for several days.
Chen Xiao didn't even look at the person in front of her, her eyes were fixed on the house in front of her, and her mouth was slightly open.
The exterior of the house has been almost completely restored, and it is almost exactly the same as what Chen Xiao originally requested when he lived there as a child.
As the familiar buildings and scenes came into Chen Xiao's view, he felt a "boom" deep in his mind, followed by a flood of fragments!
The face of a familiar, beautiful, and kind woman appeared in my mind, as if that woman were embracing me and saying...
What... um, what did you say again?
Yes, she was saying, "I want you to live under a free and blue sky..."
Yes, that's right, that's the sentence!!
There was also a handsome, imposing man, wearing glasses, standing next to the woman, gazing at her with a kind and gentle look...
Chen Xiao suddenly trembled all over, then shoved Mr. Zhu away. His face was pale, but his eyes became somewhat fanatical and excited. He rushed into the house, shouting loudly as he ran.
"Dad! Mom!! I'm home! I'm home!!!"
Chapter 256 [Treating Each Other with Sincerity]
Zhang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment. When she saw Chen Xiao suddenly lose his composure and rush into the house like a madman, calling out "Dad and Mom," Zhang Xiaotao immediately realized something was wrong!
Because she knew that Chen Xiao was an orphan.
Mr. Zhu was pushed aside, and before he could speak, Zhang Xiaotao rushed in. Just as she entered, she heard a loud bang, followed by the sound of shattering glass. Entering the living room, Zhang Xiaotao saw Chen Xiao standing there blankly, two construction workers in work clothes staring at him in disbelief, their mouths agape.
The ground was covered with broken glass.
It turned out that Chen Xiao had rushed in and bumped into two construction workers carrying a whole pane of glass out. Chen Xiao was running so fast that the workers couldn't dodge in time and crashed into him.
