Chapter 296: Chapter 296: The Familiar Little Bear
At night, Song Song lay in bed feeling her stomach was uncomfortably bloated.
The Italian restaurant that Yuan Yumeng recommended was truly amazing, making her eat several plates of pasta, and her entire stomach was about to burst.
Even though a few hours had passed, she still felt uncomfortable, and even taking digestion medicine had no effect—
She had no choice but to get up, put on a hoodie, and go out for a walk.
As she passed Huo Junting’s room, she saw the door open, and the sound of melodious piano music drifted out.
From yesterday, Huo Chen and Huo Junting moved here to live with her and her mother...
When they asked her opinion, she agreed without hesitation.
As for someone’s warning, she completely ignored it.
Couldn’t she just treat Huo Junting as her big brother?
Song Song stood by the door and knocked, "...Big brother, why aren’t you asleep yet?"
Huo Junting, who was sitting by the piano, stood up with a smile upon seeing Song Song, "Aren’t you not asleep as well? Looking at how you’re dressed, are you really going out at this hour?"
"Yeah! I stuffed myself with Yuan Yumeng, so I’m planning on going for a jog, otherwise I have no idea how I’ll fall asleep?"
After saying that, she noticed his expression didn’t look good, "Big brother, you have a bit of a misunderstanding about Yuan Yumeng; she’s actually really nice!"
"By the way, how did your chat with her sister go today?"
Huo Junting’s tense handsome face relaxed a bit, "At least she’s more pleasing to the eye than that fatty."
"Uh, big brother, what you said... Yuan Yumeng isn’t that fat, it’s just..."
"Not fat?" Huo Junting suddenly interrupted coldly, "She’s probably double your size."
Song Song was momentarily speechless, but that was indeed the case.
Her eyes wandered around the room and unexpectedly landed on the car keys on the bedside table, which had a teddy bear hanging on them.
Song Song felt the teddy looked familiar and picked it up, "Big brother, this teddy is quite cute, but it seems a bit old."
Huo Junting suddenly looked a bit tense, as if worried someone might break it. He walked over and took the teddy back from Song Song’s hand, "Don’t touch it; this is very important."
"...What! How important can it be? Did your girlfriend give it to you?"
Huo Junting smirked indulgently, "The little fatty gave it, one for me, one for her."
"Who’s the little fatty?" Song Song was puzzled.
"Actually, neither Huohuo nor I are Dad’s biological children. We were adopted from the orphanage. I was fourteen when I was adopted, but Huohuo was only four then—"
"So she always thought she was Dad’s biological child, and we never corrected her. Anyway, Dad treated us like his own."
"..."
Song Song didn’t expect this to be his background. Surprised, she also felt a bit curious, "So the little fatty is from the orphanage?"
"Mm."
"Shortly after I was adopted, she went out to play once and disappeared. I don’t know if she was taken by human traffickers or... In any case, she’s been missing since then, and even now I don’t know where she is!"
Song Song didn’t expect that behind this seemingly cold man lay such a tender side, "Big brother, don’t worry! You will definitely find her. I believe kind people will be blessed."
"Get some rest now! I’ll go for a jog first..."
Huo Junting quickly gathered his emotions, "Do you want me to accompany you? It’s not safe for a girl to go out alone at night."
"No need, no need."
Song Song shook her head quickly, "Did you forget? This is a super high-end villa area. Even a stray fly can’t get in, let alone a person..."
Huo Junting smiled helplessly, "Just be careful, don’t run for too long, and come back early."
"Mm."
As Song Song walked out of the room, the teddy bear from earlier flashed through her mind. She swore she had seen it somewhere before—
