Since the departure of the steady and reliable Brother Tu Nan, the once lively atmosphere seemed to be shrouded in a faint sense of desolation. Lin Dongzhe and Peng Fei, two spirited and active boys, suddenly felt that something important was missing from their lives, making their days somewhat dull.
One day, while overhearing Aunt Huang Ling mention their plans to visit Brother Tu Nan in Shanghai during the National Day holiday, Lin Dongzhe's eyes instantly lit up, and a bold idea quietly blossomed in his heart. He hurriedly ran to his mother, Song Ying, his gaze filled with hope and longing, and cautiously asked, "Mom, can I go to Shanghai to see Brother Tu Nan?" Song Ying looked at her son's hopeful face and frowned slightly, saying earnestly, "No, you can't. Your priority right now is to study hard; the Zhongkao is just around the corner. This is a crucial moment for your future."
However, Lin Dongzhe was consumed by thoughts of Brother Tu Nan and his yearning for the trip to Shanghai. His mother's refusal did not deter him from pursuing his desire. He and Peng Fei huddled together in private, furrowing their brows as they desperately brainstormed ways to fulfill their wish of going to Shanghai. Suddenly, Peng Fei's eyes brightened as he excitedly whispered, "I have an Uncle Qian; he can take us to Shanghai for free." Upon hearing this, Lin Dongzhe's previously dim expression was instantly reignited with hope.
That evening, the two secretly packed away their accumulated pocket money with a mix of nervousness and excitement, as if an exhilarating adventure was about to unfold. The next morning, Song Ying had just finished her exhausting shift at work; fatigue washed over her as she returned home and fell into a deep sleep. Lin Dongzhe tiptoed into his mother's room and left a note on her bedside table that read: "Mom, Peng Fei and I have gone to Shanghai to see Brother Tu Nan."
Lin Dongzhe's younger sister Suzhou happened to catch a glimpse of her brother's and Peng Fei's actions. Although she found it somewhat strange, she didn't think much of it. She simply assumed that her brothers were acting a bit unusual that day and went back to her room to continue sleeping. Meanwhile, Lin Dongzhe and Peng Fei were already filled with anticipation as they boarded the bus heading to Shanghai. As the vehicle slowly started moving, they gazed out at the receding scenery with both trepidation and excitement, wondering what awaited them in Shanghai.
When Song Ying finally stirred from her sleep and spotted the note on her bedside table, her mind instantly buzzed with alarm. She sat up in shock, confusion and fear flooding her expression. Countless terrifying thoughts raced through her mind; she feared that her son Lin Dongzhe might encounter danger on this unknown journey—perhaps being deceived by bad people or getting hurt in an accident. Her hands began to tremble involuntarily as her heart raced wildly in her chest as if it might burst.
Panicking, Song Ying jumped up without even putting on her slippers and rushed over to Huang Ling's house. Her steps were unsteady; she nearly stumbled several times. The gentle demeanor she usually possessed was now replaced by panic and urgency. When Huang Ling saw Song Ying in such a state, an ominous premonition surged within her. After Song Ying stammered out what had happened, Huang Ling also became flustered while Teacher Zhuang turned pale with worry. After all, Peng Fei was Teacher Zhuang's nephew; they could hardly imagine how Peng Fei's mother would react to this situation.
