Looking at the timid little girl, Lin Cheng showed a big smile: "Mom told Enxi not to open the door to strangers, right? Enxi did a great job."
The doorbell has been ringing for so long. The little girl must have been standing behind the door. However, she was short and could not see the peephole. She did not dare to open the door cautiously until Lin Cheng's identity was confirmed.
"Um."
The little girl responded softly and did not continue to open the door. She looked up at Lin Cheng through a palm-wide crack in the door.
There was a hint of kindness and a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Lin Cheng sighed inwardly. He had lived here for three years. The first time he saw this little girl, she had just learned to speak. So much time had passed in the blink of an eye.
“Has mom gone to work?”
Enxi didn’t say anything, but still looked at Lin Cheng with the same eyes.
If it weren't for Lin Cheng's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed her slight nod.
This is probably why the little girl sometimes looks dull, and sometimes seems slow to respond to others.
In fact, being willing to open the door for him shows that the little girl already thinks that he is a trustworthy person.
“Xiaoying is having a snowball fight below, Enxi, do you want to come with us?”
The little face in the crack of the door nodded first, then shook his head, "Mom is not at home, and Enxi will not go out."
The little girl obviously wants to go.
Lin Cheng thought for a while: "Then uncle, call your mother. If she agrees, can we go down and play together?"
The little girl didn't say anything, just stared at Lin Cheng blankly.
Seeing that she did not refuse, Lin Cheng squatted in front of the door and took out his mobile phone.
“Hello, Lin Cheng?”
The person opposite was surprised. The last time Lin Cheng called her was half a year ago.
“Sister Shiyan, um... the snow is very thick today, Xiaoying wants to go play with Enxi, do you think?”
Lin Cheng didn’t know what was going on, but he stuttered a bit when he spoke. Enxi’s mother had always been a very powerful person in his eyes.
Although in a sense, Sister Shiyan can be regarded as his savior.
If it weren't for her, Lin Cheng would have probably been completely cold during that minor accident, and there would be no chance for him to acquire reflexes far beyond those of ordinary people.
“No need.” A cool voice came from the microphone.
Lin Cheng sighed, the answer was indeed unexpected.
He turned around and glanced at the little face inside the crack of the door. The little girl still maintained that posture and stared at him blankly.
Lin Cheng knew that the more she behaved like this, the more she wanted to go out.
“Is there anything else? If nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
Lin Cheng smiled at the little girl, "Sister Shiyan, you have been so busy recently. Enxi hasn't gone out for a long time after the school holiday, right?"
The other side fell silent for a moment.
“Sister Shiyan, I think Enxi also wants to play with Xiaoying. Do you think this is okay? Xiao Tong and I will play with Enxi today, and you can come to our place to pick her up in the evening.”
There was no reply from the other side, only the sound of shallow breathing came.
Lin Cheng didn’t rush him and winked at the little girl in the crack of the door, even though the little girl didn’t respond at all.
“Then… I’m sorry to bother you.”
Lin Cheng smiled, "It doesn't matter, we will take Enxi to eat. Sister Shiyan, you don't have to come back to deliver food to her. Goodbye."
Hang up the phone, Lin Cheng showed a big smile to the little girl inside the door: "Hey, your mother agreed, let's get ready and let's go down."
The little girl nodded and did not let Lin Cheng in. She turned around and entered the house on her own.
Lin Cheng was waiting patiently at the door.
After a long time, the little girl opened the door and came out already wrapped in a small white down coat, wearing fluffy rabbit earmuffs and thick gloves. She looked very cute.
Obviously, it is not easy for a four-year-old girl to pack all this.
“Now! Let’s go down.”
Lin Cheng reached out to hold the little girl, but she shrank away.
“Then Enxi walks alone, be careful not to fall.” Lin Cheng didn’t mind either.
Lin Cheng led the little girl to the snow below. When he saw his little friend from a distance, Xiaoying jumped over and hugged the little girl and laughed happily.
“Enxi Enxi, Xiaoying misses you so much.”
The little girl nodded vigorously, losing her dullness when facing Lin Cheng, "Enxi also misses Xiaoying."
“Xiaoying, let’s take Enxi to play. Remember not to bully others.”
Lin Cheng reminded her that after seeing the bad-tempered girl Xiaoying's previous behavior, she didn't have to worry about them being bullied. I guess it would be good if those stupid kids wouldn't be bullied by her.
Two little girls ran to the side to play in the snow. Lin Cheng put a Santa hat on the snowman's head, and Xiao Tong happily started taking photos with the snowman, preparing to show off to his friends in the south of China.
Lin Cheng sat down on the snow and said, "Sister Shuyan, the three of us will take Enxi out to play this afternoon. I guess her mother won't have time to take her out for a long time."
“Did Enxi’s mother agree?” Han Shuyan took advantage of the situation and sat down next to her.
“Hey, thanks to me! Let me tell you...”
While Lin Cheng was sitting on the snow and chatting with Han Shuyan, Xiaoying and Eunxi ran towards a group of friends.
“Let’s have a snowball fight. When Enxi comes, we can have three people at a time.”
“I won’t play with her.”
Zhenghao was pushed by Xiaoying just now. He is still not afraid of power.
Xiaoying shook her little fist angrily: "Sister Shuyan just said that it is wrong to bully others. You are not allowed to bully Eunxi."
“I didn’t bully her.”
Zhenghao shrank his neck, "But I just don't want to play with her unless she admits that she was wrong. Angels don't exist, and people can't fly or become angels."
"certainly not."
Little girl Enxi pursed her lips and spoke loudly for the first time: "Enxi can become an angel, Enxi can fly."
“If you brag and brag, Enxi is a fool.”
Zhenghao made a face, Xiaoying rolled up her sleeves and chased after him, "Stop, I'm going to beat you."
Little Shota ran away and made a mess at the scene.
Lin Cheng, who realized later, hurriedly went to break up the fight with Han Shuyan. The two of them were still unconvinced. One wanted to beat him up, and the other insisted on provoking him with harsh words.
Lin Cheng never expected that one day he would be so irritated by a few little kids.
Where no one noticed, a small white figure entered the apartment building.
The little girl Enxi climbed up the stairs to the second floor with a solemn expression. While climbing the stairs, the little girl muttered:
“Angels can fly. Mom said Enxi is a little angel. Enxi can fly to find her father.”
There is a small terrace on the second floor of the apartment, facing the lawn on the side of the apartment.
The little girl ran to the terrace, struggled to climb up the low railing of the terrace and stood at the edge.
“Come on Enxi, Enxi can fly.”
On the other side, Lin Cheng had just calmed down the two brats when he heard the little fat man exclaim, "Look."
Lin Cheng turned around and saw a little girl appearing on the terrace a few meters away, climbing over the railing and moving to the edge of the terrace.
Depend on!
Lin Cheng quickly rushed to the bottom of the terrace.
The little girl opened her arms wearing a white down jacket. At this moment, she felt that they were her own wings.
“Look, Enxi can fly.”
After saying that, the little girl kicked hard and jumped down from the terrace.
The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
Lin Cheng jumped forward suddenly, stretched out his arms accurately to catch the little girl in the air, and then smashed her sideways on the snow.
The terrace on the second floor is only about three meters high, and there is thick snow below, so the impact brought by the little girl is not great.
Lin Cheng sat up immediately to check the little girl's condition, "Enxi, are you in pain? Are you injured anywhere?"
The little girl looked at Lin Cheng blankly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
“Are you injured somewhere? Tell uncle quickly.”
The little girl didn't say anything, and looked down at her own hands. Suddenly she cried with a cry, and big tears quickly accumulated and fell from her eyes.
Lin Cheng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he stretched out his arms and hugged the little girl tightly.
He has never seen this silly little girl have such a big emotional reaction.
Eunxi cried so sadly.
He didn't know whether she was crying because of the pain from the fall or because of the disillusionment of her fantasy.
Perhaps, when this little girl grows up, she will understand.
Some things are destined to be independent of human will.
