Chapter 684 Did Muchen Draw This?
Although no one believed that Ziyue saw Muchen, she was not discouraged.
No matter what others thought, she firmly believed that she was right.
She no longer worked overtime in the office. Instead, she would drive around the city to find Muchen.
However, Muchen was still not found.
In the coffee shop the other day, when she saw Qin Muchen, it seemed like a dream.
On weekends, Xia would come to see her at home.
The weather was getting colder daily, and the parasols in the yard were put away.
The two were making tea and drinking in the study on the second floor. Zixi was sitting at a side with his drawing board in his hands, while Beef was resting on the carpet. The heater was turned on in the room, and the room was cozy.
Everything looked so harmonious.
"Are you still looking for Muchen?" Xia asked her.
Ziyue poured her a cup of tea and served it to her, "Of course."
Xia sighed. She had persuaded Ziyue enough, but she wouldn't listen anyway.
"My hunch is that Muchen is in Yunzhou City." Ziyue lowered her eyes, opened the kettle lid, and said, "Besides, I saw him that day."
Zixi, who was at the side, suddenly raised his head and asked her.
"What are you drawing? Show it to Mom." Ziyue smiled softly and stretched out her hand toward him.
Zixi obediently handed the drawing board to Ziyue: "Dad."
Ziyue was taken aback. She looked at the drawing and felt a pang in her heart.
"Well, it's very close to Dad." Ziyue patted his head.
Zixi raised his face and asked her, "Is Dad back?"
Ziyue pursed her lips. Her eyes flickered, and she said, "He will return; I saw him that day."
Zixi smiled brightly when he heard those words and said, "Well, I saw him too."
Ziyue was holding a teacup. When she heard this, she suddenly froze. In that moment of unbelief, her teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
Her overreaction frightened Zixi. She tried to compose herself and said, "Who did you say you saw?"
Zixi could not understand the roller coaster of emotions Ziyue was feeling and said straightforwardly, "Dad, he bought me a cake."
Ziyue got up, walked to Zixi, and squatted down. She stared straight into Zixi's eyes and said frantically, "Where is it? When did he buy you a cake?"
Zixi tilted his head, "At school."
Ziyue stood up immediately after hearing those words. She only managed to squeeze out these words to Xia, "Help me take care of Zixi."
After she finished speaking, she rushed out.
Xia was at a loss for words about the exchange she had just witnessed between Zixi and Ziyue.
From the beginning, she had doubts about Ziyue's words, but now that Zixi had said the same thing, she couldn't help feeling suspicious.
Is what they're saying true?
But everything sounds so absurd.
However, Zixi was still a child. But he was a bright kid. He was not one to lie.
Zixi glanced at the door, then at Xia. Zixi got up and attempted to chase his mom, "Mom!"
Why did Mom run out all of a sudden?
Xia came to her senses, and seeing Zixi running out, she followed closely behind.
When the two chased to the gate, Ziyue had already driven the car out of the garage.
Xia hurriedly stopped her. "What are you doing? Today is the weekend, and Zixi saw him in school a few days ago. What's the use of going now?"
"He appeared there before. Maybe he is still there now?" Ziyue retorted.
She turned slightly and saw Zixi eagerly looking at her from the car door. He was so small, he was holding the car door and had to stand on tiptoe to see Ziyue.
Ziyue's heart softened when she saw him. "Zixi, step back a little bit; mommy will come down."
Zixi bit his lip, thought for a while, and backed away.
Ziyue exited the car and carried Zixi to the back seat. All the vehicles in the garage were equipped with children safety seats.
"I'll go with you too." Seeing that she would take Zixi, Xia followed her into the car.
Ziyue nodded and drove towards Zixi's school.
On weekends, there were no classes in the school. Only the security guards on duty would be in the school.
The security guard was a young man with good eyesight. When he saw that it was Ziyue, he hurriedly greeted her, "Mrs. Qin, what brings you here?"
Ziyue glanced inside, then turned back and asked, "Can I go in and look?"
"This..." The security guard hesitated and said, "This is against the rules, but I trust you, so you can go in and have a look."
"Thanks."
After thanking the security guard, Ziyue walked inside with Zixi and Xia.
The security guard's voice came from behind, "Hurry up and come out."
The kindergarten was privately run. The facilities and teachers were excellent. There were not many classes, but it occupied a large area.
Ziyue went directly to Zixi's classroom.
As expected, the classrooms were locked.
Ziyue pinched the lock on it, thought for a while, and then went to look at the window.
She checked out the window and found that the window could be opened.
She turned her head and looked at Xia, but Xia could not understand what she meant.
Ziyue explained, "Do you think the security guard forgot to lock the window, or was someone here?"
"They must have forgotten it." Xia felt that Ziyue's way of finding it was still a bit mysterious.
Ziyue smiled but did not speak.
She climbed over the wall to get in and then carried Zixi inside again.
When Zixi arrived at a familiar place, he habitually went to find his small table.
After seeing it, he took out a card from the drawer of the small table.
A smile appeared on his face all of a sudden. He ran up to Ziyue, and as if offering a treasure, he handed something to her. "Mom, look! It's Zixi."
It was a handmade card.
There was an image of a boy drawn on it. His appearance was similar to Zixi's. His clothes were the same as what Zixi was wearing now. There were also flowers, trees, and small animals on the card.
The picture was detailed. From the coloring, you can tell that it was carefully made.
Ziyue had dressed Zixi with the same set of clothes last Monday. Zixi liked this pair of clothes so much that he would wear it immediately after it was washed.
Ziyue was holding the handmade card with a smile on her face and had teary eyes.
Seeing that Ziyue was a mess, Xia leaned over to take a look and said in surprise, "It's a painting of Zixi."
"Like father like son!" Ziyue pursed her lips. Her eyes were puffy, and her tone was laced with a hint of excitement.
"You mean, this was painted by Muchen?" Xia was shocked. She didn't even refer to Muchen as 'Mr. Qin' and just called him by his name.
"Who else can it be if it isn't him?" Ziyue was thrilled.
Muchen had a strange fixation on seemingly unimportant things and would insist on getting his way. What was wrong with him? Was he really trying to play a game of hide and seek with her now?
