After washing the dishes, Qi Xue wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. The sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding" sounded in the hall, which made her very curious.
"Haha! In a few days, dad will be paid his salary. At that time, dad wants to buy you a laptop."
Qi Lian picked up a piece of wood from the ground and measured it with a tape measure.
“Who among today’s children doesn’t have a laptop?
My Xue'er naturally can't be too shabby!
Tonight, daddy will make you a foldable computer desk
Don’t worry, I’m a carpenter, and with my father’s craftsmanship, the things I can make will definitely be no worse than those computer desks worth several hundred dollars in the supermarket!”
"dad……"
Qi Xue squatted down. Under the dim light, Qi Lian's white hair flashed past her temples. She immediately felt her nose was sore.
"Dad, I'm very busy studying right now, and I can't access the Internet in the dormitory at school. We don't have broadband installed at home, so I don't need a laptop!"
"Why don't you need it?"
Qi Lian raised his head and smiled at Qi Xue. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more profound and obvious.
"You kid, you are so sensible, dad feels sorry for you
It’s your eighteenth birthday next month. Buy a notebook and it will be considered an early birthday gift from your father!”
"Ding"!
Just as Qi Xue opened her mouth to persuade her adoptive father not to spend money, a text message rang.
Standing up, Qi Xue took out the old cell phone from her trouser pocket, a bad premonition welling up in her heart.
Sure enough, what jumped on the screen was the owner's name!
The cold feeling spread to her fingertips. Qi Xue took a deep breath and clicked on the text message.
"Same place!"
Seeing these four words, Qi Xue's shoulders trembled suddenly, and the blood drained from her face instantly.
"Dad, I... my classmate in the tutoring class has no one at home tonight and wants me to go over and accompany her."
With her mind spinning rapidly, Qi Xue finally came up with an excuse.
"It's almost eleven o'clock. It's too dangerous for you, a girl, to go out now! Where does your classmate live? I'll send you there!"
Seeing Qi Xuehuo hurriedly changing into clothes and about to walk out with her backpack on her back, Qi Lian hurriedly stopped her.
"No, Dad!" Qi Xue waved her hands repeatedly, took out her sneakers from the entrance, and squatted to put them on.
"Dad, my classmate's driver is already waiting for me at the alley downstairs. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me!"
