"What are you thinking?" the Loli asked, feeling embarrassed.
"Then why did you come to me? It seems like we don't even know each other," Li Hong asked, puzzled.
He stood up, unsure of what this Loli was thinking. Logically, they were just two strangers who had never met before; if she had any difficulties or needed help, she shouldn't have come to him!
Hearing Li Hong's question, the Loli tightly clutched the hem of her dress, her eyes red as if she had something difficult to say.
"Forget it. If you have any problems, just tell me directly. If I can help you, I will," Li Hong said helplessly.
There was no other choice. Seeing the Loli like this, it was clear she had encountered some insurmountable issue. And he, being a devoted fan of Lolis, could not just stand by and do nothing.
"I... my mom doesn't want me anymore..." Under Li Hong's comforting words, the Loli tearfully recounted what had happened.
Her name was Li Yuchen, and she was five years old. She was an unloved illegitimate child, and her mother was only a few years older than Li Hong.
With her grandparents long gone and relatives and friends shunning them, the Loli had always wandered around with her mother.
A few days ago, Yuchen's mother suddenly fainted at work. When they rushed her to the hospital for a check-up, they discovered she had cancer.
This news left both mother and daughter in shock.
The doctor's sighs announced the tragic fate that awaited this unfortunate woman. The high cost of chemotherapy was something they could never afford.
In despair, Yuchen's mother took her daughter and traveled thousands of miles to the capital city to seek help from Yuchen's biological father.
Unfortunately, that man had already started a family and completely forgotten about them.
After finding no help, Yuchen's mother took out the last two hundred yuan she had, gave Yuchen a haircut, bought her a beautiful new outfit, and left her at the foot of Baisheng Building.
"Before leaving, my mom told me to find a rich man, to call him Dad, and to live well with her concerns in mind..." Loli choked out.
Li Hong's fingers tapped nervously on the office desk, his expression serious.
Although he suspected there was more to the story, he never imagined it would be this complicated.
He cursed Loli's irresponsible biological father. How dare he bring a child into the world without taking responsibility? What a scoundrel.
As for Loli's mother, Li Hong could only feel sympathy. She had made a poor choice in her youth, getting involved with a scoundrel, which led to such a tragic outcome.
"This foolish woman might do something reckless!" Hearing Loli's last few words, Li Hong suddenly snapped back to reality.
Did that sound like a farewell message?
His fingers trembled slightly as he shakily dialed the police.
"Hello, is this the Tailored Man? I need to..."
After relaying all the information he had gathered from Loli, Li Hong quietly awaited a response.
"Sir, may I ask if that girl's mother is named Du Haixia?"
"Uh, just a moment."
Li Hong put down the phone and turned to Loli. "Is your mother's name Du Haixia?"
"Yes!" Loli nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with worry.
"That's her," Li Hong picked up the phone again.
"Uh, sir. After comparison, the woman you mentioned jumped off a building and committed suicide two hours ago..."
"..."
"Mom..."
A cry of despair suddenly escaped from Loli's lips.
Li Hong was stunned by this shocking news, feeling a deep sense of disbelief at the woman's heartlessness.
To just abandon her own daughter and choose to end her life—she truly was a cruel woman.
"Hey, sir, are you still listening?"
"I'm here, I'm here! What's going on?" While holding the sobbing Loli tightly, Li Hong spoke into the phone.
"It's like this; we need to conduct a routine inquiry with you and the young lady. May I ask where you are right now?"
"Baisheng Building, inside Sweet Potato Film Company on the twelfth floor."
"Okay, we'll be there shortly."
After hanging up the phone, Li Hong still couldn't come to terms with what had just happened.
She really just died like that?
Looking at Loli, whose shoulders were shaking and whose face resembled a raccoon from crying, Li Hong felt a headache coming on.
How did he end up in such a situation?
Without giving him much time to think, Loli tightly grasped Li Hong's shirt corner and weakly asked, "Where are they going to send me?"
"…to an orphanage or your father's house, I suppose…" Li Hong could only answer honestly.
Loli wasn't foolish; after all, she was old enough to know that trying to deceive her was impossible.
She looked up, her still youthful voice clear and deliberate as she said, "I don't want to go to the orphanage, and I won't go to my father's house."
"Then where do you want to go?" Li Hong scratched his head, curious.
If nothing unexpected happened, Loli's final destination would only be these two places. Even if neither of them was ideal, she had no choice.
"Can you let me stay?" Loli tried to lift her delicate face, her eyes filled with longing as she looked at Li Hong.
"I can grow up quickly, and then I can marry you..."
"…I already have a girlfriend…" Li Hong said, betraying his conscience.
He felt a deep pain in his heart when he uttered those words. Damn it, if he counted his left hand and right hand, that made at least two! Not to mention there were a whole set of dolls at home—wasn't that a big harem?
"Don't lie to me; you don't have a girlfriend at all. I can tell at a glance that you're just a single dog!" Loli said, tilting her head.
Li Hong: "…"
"How did you figure it out?" Li Hong began to suspect whether he had forgotten to wash his hands after entering Sage mode earlier. How else could Loli have seen through him?
Loli grabbed Li Hong's right hand and pointed at the calluses on it. "Look at this hand; it's all worn out. You're definitely a single dog."
"Suddenly I feel like crying; what should I do?" Li Hong asked with a bitter face.
Damn it, being exposed by a Loli about my single status was so embarrassing, especially since she figured it out by looking at my hand!
"Mom, if a young man is wealthy and still single, he’s either ugly, gay, or has performance issues," the Loli said with interest as she glanced at Li Hong. "You’re not bad-looking and can still get it up, so that means you fall into the second category. I feel very safe being around you..."
"..." Li Hong had something to say to the Loli.
Why can't a wealthy young man be single? Why does he have to be labeled with the gay tag?
"That's slander, pure nonsense!" Li Hong denied.
The Loli nodded seriously and said, "I have no nonsense; it’s indeed nonsense. However, mine is all truth, and denying it won’t change anything."
