Mai Xiaomai explained once more, "By then, even if you want to find it back, you won't be able to."
Huang Wanrong pouted a little, feeling a bit aggrieved, "Alright."
She walked away, feeling downcast.
Mai Xiaomai returned to her room, intending to crawl back into bed for a nap, then have breakfast and go for acupuncture with You Bei.

She answered.
A low, hoarse voice came through the phone, "Baby, it's me."
"Uncle Dao? Where are you right now?"
Mai Xiaomai asked in surprise.
"I have news about your dad."
"Really? Where is he?"
"Reportedly on Canglan Island."
"Canglan Island? Where's that?"
Mai Xiaomai had never heard of this island before.
"It's an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean, not many people know about it."
"Do you know its exact location?"
Mai Xiaomai asked eagerly.
