" Why can't we go on?" Xiao Li demanded.

Still eating, Li You replied," Why?"

Xiao Li rolled her eyes in disdain. Finally, noticing her expression, Li You stopped eating and laughed loudly.

" Your little miss is safe and sound and we are due to reach by tomorrow so that's plenty of time, at most, we'll arrive at night!"

Hearing his explanation, Xiao Li narrowed her eyes but relaxed a little.

After a while, the inn owner walked towards them, handing them two keys.

Xiao Li immediately sprung up, grabbing her keys and walked away to find her room, leaving Li You alone.

Xiao Li sighed as she sat down on the corner of the bed. She still remembered that day when Miss Qia Yun took her in...

" Please, General, my daughter is hardworking and can be a playmate or helper for your daughter, she can do anything!" Xiao Li's mother had pleaded.

The two-year-old Xiao Li stood there not lifting up her head, just as her mother had instructed her. Confused, she tilted her head a little to catch a glimpse at who her mother was talking to.

It was General Qia, the saviour of their country, her brother had wors.h.i.+pped him. He would take her in, wouldn't he? Although she knew that her going would be beneficial for her family, she secretly hoped that the General would give her mother some money to survive while Brother looked for a job.

However, General Qia just shook his head at her, pus.h.i.+ng them away. Xiao Li's face immediately scrunched up, trying to hide the disappointment she felt. Wanting to pull her mother away to save the embarra.s.sment, she tugged at her mother's coat.

" Please! My daughter can read and write and can learn fast! Please General!" She continued.

" Daddy! Who is that?" A clear intelligent voice rang.

General Qia looked behind him, his gaze softening at his daughter.

"It's not important, Qia Yun go and study now!" General Qia said.

" Then...can that nice big sister join me? It's boring to study alone!" Qia Yun asked.

Qia Yun wasn't stupid, she knew that Xiao Li's family needed help and since studying was getting boring, she didn't mind having a companion with her.

General Qia sighed, nodding his head. Xiao Li's face lit up as she was led towards Qia Yun, taking one last look at her mother and brother, she smiled gently.
