That doesn’t seem right. They should be in Jinling celebrating the Spring Festival with their families at this time.
Hua Jianming shook his head helplessly. This was still a bit hard to guess.
"It's Brother Xia Chan!"
"Brother Xia Chan!"
Although he traveled through time and space, and it was his soul that traveled through time, his memories were perfectly connected with those of his previous life.
Hua Jianming's eyes were misty and a trace of memories came to his mind.
"Xiao Ming, I'm leaving."
"Please tell grandma that it was my fault for not saying goodbye to her, but I have to leave even though I don't dare to say goodbye. The pressure in the orphanage is too great, and I don't want grandma to suffer."
"I will work hard after I leave. If I have the chance, I will go back to the orphanage to see you. You should also take good care of your brothers."
It was also a winter day, just as cold, and the summer cicadas were gone.
Grandma Yan helped the children in the orphanage find families one after another and sent them away one by one. This made Xia Chan think that he would also become a burden to the orphanage, so he left here alone.
Since then, the smile in Grandma Yan's eyes has become less and less. Until one day, there were suddenly two thousand more Alliance coins on Grandma Yan's bank card. After seeing the note was Xia Chan, Grandma Yan was completely relieved.
What is a summer cicada? Before becoming an adult, a cicada spends most of its time hiding in mud and water under the ground, enduring hibernation for as short as three or four years, or as long as more than ten years. Until one day, it will break out of its shell and sing loudly in the daylight again.
Its life is very short and it cannot survive more than one summer, but that is an amazing summer for the summer cicada.
Xia Chan likes summer cicadas, so he named himself Xia Chan, born like a summer cicada.
"Xiao Ming, I'm back."
Just as Hua Jianming was lost in his memories, a familiar and warm voice appeared in his ears.
"Brother Xia Chan!"
Chapter 233 Rock Lee and his elf
"Grandma missed you so much that she was still talking about you before she died."
After sitting down, Hua Jianming looked at his brother who had sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes but a hint of gloom in front of him, and asked softly: "So, brother Xia Chan, where have you been these years?"
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Xia Chan's eyes were filled with tears and she could hardly hold it back.
However, he still tried hard to hold back his tears and explained, "Over the years, I have been transferring my income back to the orphanage's account, and I have always been thinking about grandma and you. I never expected, I never expected..."
"The orphanage's account has always been in grandma's name. Although she has passed away, I asked the alliance to keep the card. The money you transferred in the past few years is in it."
Hua Jianming took out from somewhere a bank card with film on the four corners, which looked extremely old.
Xia Chan wiped the corners of his eyes gently, took a deep look at the bank card and pushed it back. He looked up and said, "Xiao Ming, you don't have to be so mean to me. I know you are angry with me. I have confessed in front of grandma's grave these days. If you don't welcome me, I will leave."
Children who come out of the orphanage have always been a little extreme in some aspects, and Hua Jianming's approach makes Xia Chan dissatisfied.
"No matter how well you run the orphanage now, it is still my home. I don't ask for anything from this place. I just want to repay grandma for her love for me over the years."
"Including you, I'm already satisfied as long as you can live a happy life. Now, you are the head of the orphanage, and Xiangnan and Xiangbei are living well, so I feel relieved." After Xia Chan finished drinking the glass of water in front of him, he strode out the door.
I thought it would be a happy reunion, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Cang Xiangbei quickly stood up and grabbed Xia Chan who was about to leave.
Today's Cang Xiangbei is no longer the little kid he used to be. His gradually affluent life has given him considerable strength at the age of only thirteen or fourteen, and Xia Chan was pulled back for a moment.
Cang Xiangbei couldn't help but retort: "Brother Ming, you misunderstood Brother Xia Chan!"
Cang Xiangnan didn't say anything, but ran to the second floor.
"Brother Ming, I will listen to you." After a moment, Cang Xiangnan and the duck-billed fire beast placed four elf eggs in front of Hua Jianming and continued, "But you really misunderstood Brother Xia Chan. These were all fought for by Brother Xia Chan for us."
Hua Jianming didn't even look at the elf eggs in front of him. He looked at Xia Chan, who was trembling all over, with sharp eyes and said, "Brother Xia Chan, I have always known you and never misunderstood you."
"I'm just mad at you for never coming back to see grandma for so long. You couldn't even take one last look at her."
"If you still want to leave, you will be even more sorry to grandma and to us."
Hua Jianming's every word and action at this time were an expression of his true feelings, which was the obsession fused between the memories of two lives and his complaint against Xia Chan.
From having no previous memories in the beginning to slowly integrating them now, Hua Jianming feels more and more that he belongs to this world.
Hua Jianming's words stunned Xia Chan. He was a little confused about what Hua Jianming meant.
"Brother Xia Chan, Brother Ming wants you to stay, he's just too embarrassed to ask directly."
Cang Xiangbei's simple words broke the awkward atmosphere.
Hearing this, the gloom on Xia Chan's face disappeared without a trace, and a sunny smile broke out on his face.
"You kid, you're still the same as before."
Xia Chan punched Hua Jianming on the shoulder lightly, and the gap between them disappeared.
"Xia Chan, guess what I just saw!"
As they were talking, two unfamiliar figures rushed in, breaking the warmth of the scene.
"Brother Ming, this is Brother Xia Chan's friend Li Luoke and his elf." Cang Xiangnan came to Hua Jianming at the right time and introduced him softly.
"Rock Lee? Rock Lee? Naruto?"
Xia Chan smiled awkwardly and explained, "This is the only brother I have met in the past few days. He has a simple personality and we have a life-or-death friendship."
Xia Chan deliberately emphasized the word "life".
"I……"
Hua Jianming looked at the man and the elf standing in front of him, and tried hard to control the corners of his mouth and raise his habitual smile.
What a handsome appearance!
Same bowl cut, same green tights, but fortunately the eyebrows are not as thick and the teeth are not as shiny.
Of course, these are not the key.
The key is the little Pokémon next to Rock Lee!
Its skin is dark green and its body is covered with strong muscles.
It wears a golden belt around its waist with a black pattern similar to briefs. It has three tile-like protrusions on its head and a lizard-like face.
This is a dark green Haoli!

Hua Jianming's whole body began to tremble, and it was obvious that he was having a very hard time holding it in!
"Xiao Li, this is my brother Hua Jianming."
"Wow, Xiaohua brother, you don't have to hold it back. Youth is the time to laugh wildly!"
Rock Lee struck a Bruce Lee starting stance, and Shining Gou Li followed suit.
"Hahahahaha..."
Hua Jianming couldn't hold it in any longer, he curled up into a ball, and for a moment he couldn't stop laughing.
"Brother Li, are you serious?"
"Wow, brother is a Rock Lee fan, youth should be passionate and unstoppable!"
"Brother Li, are you serious?"
“Wow…Wow…Wow…”
Just when Rock Lee was about to pose again, Xia Chan pulled him over and covered his mouth.
"Don't be surprised, he is just that kind of person." Xia Chan first looked at Hua Jianming apologetically, then turned to Rock Lee in his hand and said, "If you calm down right now, I will let you go."
Rock Lee nodded aggrievedly.
"Wow, you know, I'm worried about hurting you, otherwise..."
Li Luoke, who had just been let go by Xia Chan, seemed to have a relapse of his old illness. Seeing that Xia Chan wanted to cover him again, he immediately covered himself first.
God have mercy on him, he was really afraid of hurting the summer cicada.
Following suit, Shining Gouli also covered his mouth with his hands and stood behind Rock Lee.
"Brother Xia Chan, are these elf eggs?"
Hua Jianming motioned for everyone to sit down and glanced at the four elf eggs on the table.
"Brother Xiao Ming, these Pokémon eggs were exchanged from the Alliance Store by Xia Chan using the points he had accumulated over the years. They are all Pokémon with yellow qualifications."
Before Xia Chan could speak, Rock Lee answered directly.
"Points?" Hua Jianming asked in confusion: "What is that?"
"The Alliance Store often releases some tasks, ranging from simple to difficult, and the points vary. You can get corresponding Alliance points by completing these tasks."
"These alliance points can be exchanged for various things in the alliance store, such as elf eggs, carry-ons, props, skill learning machines, etc."
Cang Xiangnan and Cang Xiangbei seemed to know how points came and went, and took turns explaining it to Hua Jianming.
Hua Jianming also understood that the Alliance Merit Points he obtained were actually an advanced version of the Alliance Points. Alliance points are obtained by issuing tasks in the Alliance Store, and Alliance Merit Points are obtained by issuing tasks in the Alliance.
"I see."
Hua Jianming retrieved the information of four elf eggs:
The first one, the yellow unicorn
