"Sorry, sorry, I messed up."
Tang Ming apologized profusely, his face a mask of embarrassment. What a blunder this had turned into!
"Can we go now?" The middle-aged couple seemed quite frightened by Tang Ming and asked timidly.
"Of course, of course, it's all my fault. I startled you and I'm really sorry!"
Tang Ming expressed his apologies, clearly mortified.
The couple then made a hasty retreat, as if fleeing.
"Damn it, I got it wrong altogether. Same pronunciation, different characters, and not even the same gender." Tang Ming sighed in disappointment, a false alarm. He couldn't blame Ma Benyue for this; that guy only heard some news and didn't know whether they were looking for Tang Ming or Tang Ming.
"Young friend, are you also looking for your parents?"
The kindly old orphanage director looked at Tang Ming and asked.
"Yes, I'm an orphan too. I heard someone was looking for Tang Ming and thought they were searching for me, so I came to check it out."
