"When you get home later, give him a call," Gu Qili comforted the child while hailing a taxi.
"Okay, but I don't know his number, I only know he lives in what mountain district."
"What mountain? That's going to be difficult, there are too many districts with 'mountain' in their names in Aus City," Gu Qili patted her small head. "Don't worry, he might have something come up, you see even the teacher isn't worried."
Tongtong thought about it and felt that Gu Qili made a lot of sense. She then brushed aside her worries and climbed onto her lap with a smile, "Auntie Qili, can I stay over at your place tonight?"
"We need your parents' permission for that."
"They are too busy showing off their love, they don't have time for me," Tongtong pouted. "I'm just their third wheel."
Show off their love? Third wheel?
Gu Qili laughed at her words, wondering where this child learned these terms.
