With just one sentence from the boy, those childhood days in Taoxi Village suddenly flashed before his eyes.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The charm that was secretly growing in the air disappeared because of this smile, leaving only intimacy and warmth.
"My father has been in good health for a long time, but he always likes to pretend to be weak in front of my mother. Besides, have you forgotten? When he was still very ill, he could fight one against two or one against three." The little girl smiled.
Xiao Li snorted, how could he forget?
"It's true that one versus two, one versus three, but unfortunately, he is a sprinter."
"..." This disdainful tone made Qi Qi pinch the soft flesh of the boy's waist angrily.
It doesn't hurt at all, just a little itchy.
It itches from waist to heart.
Officer Xiao's eyes flashed, and he coughed uneasily, "I want to ask you, how did you get here?"
He once thought that they would never see each other again in this life.
Because what stands between them is a distance of time and space that cannot be shortened by human power.
The little girl tilted her head and said jokingly, "One day the space-time tunnel opened, and my family and I came here."
She said it lightly.
But Xiao Li knew in his heart that it couldn't be that simple.
When he was still in the system, he struggled for several months in the gap between time and space in order to go back from here to see her.
The gaps in time and space are full of turbulence, and you will be torn into pieces if you are not careful.
Even if his little cub has not experienced such danger, she has to leave behind everything she has in that time and space, leave behind the family and friendship she values most, and go to a completely strange and unknown place where she can never go home again.
It takes more than just courage.
In the dim light, staring at his little girl's bright smile as always, he asked, "Why do you want to come here? If you don't come here, you can live a better and more stable life. When you come here, it's not just you, but also your uncles and aunts."
Start all over again..."
The corner of his clothes was gently grasped by a small hand, and he heard the soft voice of his little girl.
She said, "It's worth it."
Xiao Li's voice suddenly became hoarse.
He hurriedly looked back, unscrewed the bottle of medicinal wine and pretended to apply it to his wounds. The smell of strong Chinese medicinal wine immediately hit his nose.
He poured some medicinal wine into the palm of his hand, without looking at it, and directly patted the painful area on his body with rough and casual movements.
Use this method to distract your mind.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would hold the little girl in his arms again.
His little cub is still young.
The mind is pure.
Even the slightest step out of line will be considered blasphemous to him, like leaving black fingerprints on white paper.
Don't worry, she is already by his side, he can afford to wait.
What's more, if you want to truly own his little cub, you still have a tough battle to fight.
None of the obstacles around Qiqi are easy to get rid of.
You can't really rob someone and run away.
Besides, those are also his elders.
They are elders he is familiar with, whom he respects, and whom he is willing to get close to.
The space between the gaps in the rockery was too narrow. While slapping the medicinal wine, the boy's elbow would hit the rockery wall from time to time.
Qiqi leaned against the rockery, listening to the occasional muffled sound and the angry curses of the young man, feeling helpless and amused.
In the end, his heartache got the better of him, so he took the bottle of medicinal wine that had been half-emptied by Huo Huo and capped it, then pulled the young man to walk in a certain direction.
"My hands are so cold? I didn't know how to put on more clothes when I came out. It's very cold after winter in the capital. I don't know when it will snow. Why do you want to look good?"
The girl's cold fingertips touched the palm of her hand, and Xiao Li subconsciously began to speak, unconsciously returning to the father's mentality of raising a child.
When it was over, he didn't get a response, only the girl pinched the back of his hand again.
"You're so brave, little bastard. How many times have you pinched me?"
Qiqi pouted and hummed.
I was in a hurry to come out to look for him just now. I was worried about his injury and worried that he would be embarrassed by the elders in the family. I didn't bother to wear more clothes.
It's better for him to scold him as soon as he opens his mouth.
"I just came out of the greenhouse. There is heating in the greenhouse, so it's not cold. The light is better there. Come with me. I'll take a look at your injuries first and then give you some medicinal wine. My mother-in-law is still waiting for me there. I
I agreed with her to give you a bottle of medicinal wine and I'll be back soon, but the delay is too long and I'm afraid she'll come out to find me."
Hearing this, Officer Xiao walked faster.
Qiqi pursed her lips, a smile creeping onto her lips.
The light outside is relatively dim, and the mother-in-law is old. If they really come out to look for her, they are worried that she will bump into or fall.
There is such a tacit understanding between the two that they can understand what the other person is thinking without having to say a lot of words.
When the two rushed to the greenhouse, they bumped into Zhang Xifeng walking out of the door, apparently about to go out to find Qiqi.
"Mother-in-law, I'm bringing Mr. Xiao here to apply the medicinal wine. It's not convenient to do it outside."
Zhang Xifeng's eyes fell on the young man.
He has a tall and straight posture, unruly eyebrows and a fierce aura around him.
Even though he is still young, he has already condensed a very strong aura.
Given time, he will definitely be able to dominate one side.
The boy was also looking at her.
Different from the pride and coldness in his appearance, the way he looked at her was familiar and gentle.
Zhang Xifeng had smile lines at the corners of her eyes, opened the glass door of the greenhouse and walked in, "Come in quickly, it's very cold outside. You two are wearing thinner clothes than the other, so you're not afraid of freezing."
Walking into the greenhouse from the outside, closing the door, the temperature changes day by day.
A warm warmth enveloped them, quickly dissipating the coldness on the two young men's bodies.
"I told you that the injury on the body is not serious, but the little boy insisted on applying medicinal wine. Mother-in-law, please help me look at my back. I can't reach it myself." Xiao Li looked at the environment of the flower room, and then went to the flower wall.
As soon as I lay down on the small sofa, I didn't notice anything outside.
The mother-in-law's shout sounded very natural.
Zhang Xifeng was startled for a moment, and the smile in the corner of his eyes became more obvious. He asked the little girl to get the medicinal wine and put her away smoothly, "There is a coat on the chair over there. Put it on yourself first to avoid catching a cold. Come back later."
After Qi Qi obediently sat down over there, Zhang Xifeng walked to the small sofa, sat on the side of the sofa, and pulled up the boy's shirt from the back.
There was a large area of redness and swelling on the back, with several long and thin blood marks, and scattered bruises around it, which looked a bit scary at first glance.
"Young men of your age are impulsive. If you had restrained yourself a little, you wouldn't have been kicked out."
Pour some medicinal wine into the palm of your hand, spread it evenly on the young man's back, rub and pat it with strength, Zhang Xifeng scolded, "We all know about you and Qiqi, and we are grateful to you in our hearts. Remember the kindness. But always
If you can bear it, your Uncle Fu won't do anything to you. Today is Qiqi's birthday, so many people are watching, how can you just hug me? Do you think you deserve this injury?"
Fortunately, she opened the Qiqi branch so that she could not see it, otherwise the girl would have felt distressed again.
"Mother-in-law, you can't blame me. I didn't think of anything before, and I was so confused when I looked at Qiqi. The memory finally came back. I was too excited and couldn't control it." The young man turned his head and raised his eyebrows lightly, "
I can’t help myself.”
Zhang Xifeng, "..."
This playful and smiling face is really...
She pushed hard with her hand, causing the boy to scream in pain.
