Seeing that Qiao Xiaomai was silent, the child made her laugh: "Sister Mai, let me tell you a joke, okay?"
Then, without waiting for Qiao Xiaomai's answer, he started chirping: "When I was just born, the old man helped me find a prestigious fortune teller to give me a fortune teller. The master said that my face was very good and that I had the aura of an emperor."
, when I grew up, I had cars going in and out, I had to wave flags wherever I went, I frequently went in and out of luxury hotels and scenic spots, and there was a large group of people following me wherever I went! Time flies, and I became a tour guide..."
Qiao Xiaomai couldn't help laughing and finally laughed.
Seeing her smile, the child became even more elated and chattered all the way because her parents were so happy to send her to school together for the first time.
When they arrived at the school gate, Qiao Xiaomai got out of the car with her and took her to the school gate. Just as she was about to go in, she turned around and ran over, took Qiao Xiaomai's hand, raised her face, and whispered: "Promise me one thing."
Are things okay?"
Qiao Xiaomai was surprised to see a trace of anxiety on her little face, and said softly: "What's wrong?"
"You can't leave quietly while I'm at school."
“!!!!”
"If you leave, I will be a child without a mother... Sister Mai, don't you know? Recently, many bad guys have come to school to kill primary school students. If you don't pick me up, I will be afraid..." Xiaobai quietly said,
Quietly, a pitiful look appeared on his little face: "If I accidentally get chopped by a bad guy, you will never see me again. Mom, don't leave, okay?"
Qiao Xiaomai's eyes were wet, and she hugged the child tightly, her voice choked with sobs: "Silly boy, don't talk nonsense, the school security measures are very strict. Besides, your father will also protect you. Don't be afraid of anything."
The child laughed innocently: "Actually, I am scaring you. I don't want you to leave me. Mom, please promise me, okay? I will definitely see you when I get home from school in the evening."
It wasn't until she nodded vigorously that the child let go of her, giggled and kissed her hard on the face before striding into the school gate. While running, he shouted loudly: "Goodbye, mom, goodbye, dad. Remember tonight
You’re coming to pick me up.”
It wasn't until the child ran away that his shadow disappeared, that Yi Xiangxi spoke very gently: "Wheat, let's go back."
Along the way, no one spoke. Several times, Yi Xiangxi spoke a few words, but no one answered. He didn't feel any embarrassment, but he only looked at her casually occasionally and found that she was always in a daze.
Mom, I must see you when I get home from school - it's like a tight spell.
She looked at the car window blankly, and realized for the first time that in fact, there is absolutely no way to do whatever you want in life. People are always subject to many external restrictions. I don't need love, a career, or a future - but, what about the children?
In this world, I only have one relative left, Xiaobai!
Do I not care about my child’s feelings?
When the car was at a fork in the road, her phone rang. From the opposite side came Jiang and his party's slightly anxious voice, "Mai Ma, where are you? I've called you many times, but I can't get through."
She calmly asked, "Is something wrong?"
"I have something important to do and want to see you. I'll pick you up."
She paused and said, "No, just tell me the address."
After hanging up the phone, she didn't look at Yi Xiangxi, nor did she care about the enemy-like look on Yi Xiangxi's face.
