DAVM Chapter 65.3

Pei Zhen looked at him, who looked so obedient while drinking the drink. Her eyes paused for a moment, then she quickly looked away and asked, “Xiao Jing, do you know where Grandma lives?”

Pei Jing nodded and said the address completely.

Pei Zhen took out a piece of paper with a series of numbers written on it and told Pei Jing: “This is Grandma’s phone number. If you miss Grandma, you can call her.”

“Does Grandma have a mobile phone?” Pei Jing asked. It turned out that they had to go to the small shop in town to make a call. It cost fifty cents a minute, which was very expensive, so they seldom made calls.

Pei Zhen nodded: “I bought it.”

Pei Jing took the paper and put it into his pocket with great treasure. He missed his grandmother very much, but he never knew how to contact her. Now, it’s better. The two relatives around him are here, and he can talk to them.

Now that he lives with his mother, he will no longer be a burden to his grandmother.

Pei Zhen took Pei Jing to play for a long time and played many items in the amusement park. The amusement park did not close until nine o’clock in the evening. It was getting late and the street lights were just turned on.

Pei Zhen said: “Mom wants to go to the bathroom. Xiao Jing, wait for me here.”

Pei Jing nodded: “Mom, how long will it take for us to get home?”

“Are you tired?”

Pei Jing nodded.

Pei Zhen said: “Just sit down and have a rest here when you are tired. After a while, you will go home.”

Pei Jing said obediently, “Okay.”

He was still holding the fruity drink that Pei Zhen bought in his hand, sitting on the bench and waiting quietly.

He looks good. He wore new clothes today. He looks like a little prince sculpture. He doesn’t cry or make trouble. There are staff in doll costumes who are enlivening the atmosphere and taking pictures with other children.

The staff member wearing a black and white bear doll discovered Pei Jing. Seeing a child sitting there and very well-behaved, she walked over and asked, “Do you want to take a photo with me, kid?”

Pei Jing glanced at her and shook his head: “Thank you, Sister, no need. I have to wait for my mother.”

“Where is your mother?”

Pei Jing said: “My mother went to the bathroom.”

The black and white bear doll said: “But the bathroom is far away from here. You go over there and wait so that you can see your mother when she comes out.”

Pei Jing looked in the direction pointed by the doll. There were bright lights in the distance with different colors, like a dream. He retracted his gaze, rejected the dreamy place, and shook his head: “My mother asked me to wait here. I’m worried that she won’t be able to find me when she comes back.”

“Okay.” The black and white bear doll said, “Lucky kid, I will give you a magic wand.”

The doll handed the small props for the children to Pei Jing. Pei Jing took it and said in a low voice and sincerely: “Thank you, Sister.”

The doll deliberately walked away with funny steps, attracting many children to follow. Pei Jing followed with his eyes for a long time and then slowly retracted his gaze.

It was completely dark, except for the bright lights in the amusement park. Pei Jing raised his head and looked at the clock not far away.

Two hours have passed since his mother left. He pursed his lips tightly, held the drink bottle with one hand, and squeezed the magic wand with the other. He sat quietly on the bench.

At nine o’clock in the evening, the amusement park was closed. The staff on the radio said in a friendly voice: Dear children, it’s time to say good night to everyone again. The amusement park is going to rest, and the children are going home to sleep…

Pei Jing did not move. He still did not hear the sound he wanted to hear. It appeared twice on the radio today: Little child, your mother is looking for you. Please ask the security uncle. Your mother is waiting for you at the radio station.

But there was no broadcast saying, little friend Pei Jing, your mother is looking for you.

The security guard began to check if there were any missing people who had not gone out. Pei Jing was obviously sitting on the bench, but he was not found.

The street lights were turned off one after another, and the amusement park that had been so lively and dreamlike not long ago was pitch black, like a nightmare.

Pei Jing sat quietly without making any sound, but his teeth were biting his lower lip, and his shoulders were trembling.

He already understood a lot, but he could not leave. His mother asked him to wait here. If he left, his mother would not be able to find him.
