"..." Mr. Tang didn't speak for a long time. He looked Xia Jingjing up and down. He was surprised at the little girl's bravery. She actually dared to look directly at him without any fear at all!
Xia Jingjing also looked at him at the same time, her big eyes blinking, and she was filled with doubts in her heart. Why is Grandpa looking at her like this? It's so strange!
"Grandpa...you..."
"Stop!" Mr. Tang gestured and cut off Xia Jingming's words, "I'm not your great-grandfather. My surname is Tang and your surname is Xia, isn't it?!"
"..." Xia Jingjing curled her lips and hummed softly, "Pedantic old man!"
"What did you say?!" Mr. Tang frowned. He couldn't believe what he heard. How dare she, a little kid, say that to him in person?!
"It's nothing!" Xia Jingjing denied it. Only a fool would admit it! But what she said was the truth, and there was no point in staring at her!
Mr. Tang's scrutinizing eyes locked the little girl in front of him sharply, trying to find any clues from her body. Where did this courage come from?!
After watching for a long time, he couldn't get the answer he wanted, but Mr. Tang didn't give up. He put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up.
"..." After sitting for a long time, my waist was a little sore, my legs were a little numb, and I stumbled slightly.
"Grandpa! Be careful!" Xia Jingming reacted very quickly. Although she was small, she was very fast. She rushed over with a "swish" of her small body and supported Mr. Tang.
"Let go!" Mr. Tang frowned, not appreciating it at all.
The little girl's hands were soft and her whole body exuded a milk-like fragrance, which made him feel uncomfortable!
"Aren't you afraid of falling if I let you go?!" Xia Jingming tilted her neck and raised her head to ask him.
"It's none of your business if you fall!"
"Hey!" Xia Jingshuang became very angry, and her little face became a little ferocious, "I wonder why you, an old man, are so unlovable! No wonder you are so old and can only sit here and fish pitifully, but even the fish are...
If I don’t like you, I won’t be able to catch one!”
"You..." Mr. Tang's face turned red with anger.
Tang Xuyao stood aside and smiled secretly. He glanced at the fish basket next to him with his peripheral vision. It was indeed empty, with not a single fish in it! Crystal's observation skills are so amazing!
Xia Jingming's eyes widened, with no fear on her face, and she asked, "Are you angry?!"
Mr. Tang sneered, "I won't see you like a little kid!"
"That's the best! I won't be as knowledgeable as you, an old man with a bad temper!" Xia Jingjing also looked nonchalant, slowly letting go of her hand, and then ran back to Tang Xuyao.
"Dad, let's go back! This grandpa is not cute at all! I don't want it anymore! He's not as good as the grandpa who guards the gate of our school!"
"..." Mr. Tang took a breath. This stinky girl actually compared him to the old man guarding the school gate?!
"Xia Crystal, stop!" A threatening voice sounded, old but powerful.
Xia Jingshuang paused and slowly turned her head, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I have to rush back to find my mother now. If anything happens, we can talk about it next time!"
As he said that, his little hands took out a note pad and a watercolor pen from the strawberry bag, and left his mobile phone number.
He walked over and put it into Mr. Tang's hand, "Bye!"
Before he finished speaking, the little body had already hurried out and ran away in a flash.
Mr. Tang gritted his teeth and crumpled the note, but he still couldn't bear to throw it away.
In the distance, Xia Jingming smiled proudly. Just wait and see, sooner or later he will lose his patience and will definitely call her! When the time comes, he will "invite" her to come!

San Francisco.
Yun Xiaoxiao was depressed.
"Hey..." He sighed for the 101st time, grabbed a pillow and put it in his arms, but he still felt so empty.
After having enough rest on the sofa, he got up and walked to the kitchen.
Shao Heng is cooking Italian food. Although it is not completely done yet, it is already very mouth-watering. Unfortunately, she has no appetite recently.
Shao Heng looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?! Are you thinking about crystals again?!"
"Yes! Why hasn't she come back yet? I miss her so much!"
Ever since Crystal left, she felt like something was missing in her life. She couldn't hear that sweet voice, couldn't see that cute smiling face every day, and it seemed like the sun wasn't so bright anymore!
Shao Heng shook his head with a smile, put down what he was holding, walked over, put his arm around her shoulders, and couldn't help but kiss her wrinkled face, "You like children so much, why don't we have one too?!"
"..." Yun Xiaoxiao blushed instantly and remained silent.
"If you don't speak, you are acquiescing?!" He continued to tease her.
Yun Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said unconfidently, "But I don't know how to take care of a baby! I don't even know how to take care of myself!"
"Can I just do it?!"
Yun Xiaoxiao opened his mouth in surprise, "Shao Heng, why are you so omnipotent?!"
"Maybe it's because I'm destined to meet you, an 'idiot'!"
"Who is the idiot?! I have a very high IQ, okay?!" Yun Xiaoxiao was very unconvinced and counted on her fingers, "I know Taekwondo! And I'm super good at shopping!"
"Xiao Xiao..." Shao Heng was suddenly startled, reached out and took her hand, and asked seriously, "Why do you like shopping so much? Do you really like shopping that much?!"
"Actually, no... It's just that I was kidnapped when I was a child. The bad guys locked me in an empty house. I was so scared. Although I was rescued later, I still see shadows in the empty room from then on, so I
I like to buy a lot of things and fill the room up... Slowly, I developed a habit... I also learned Taekwondo for self-defense after being kidnapped..."
"Is this why you dare not live in a big house?!"
"Hmm. If you live in a big house, don't you need to buy more things?!"
"Then after we get married, how about we live in a smaller house, one bedroom and one living room?!"
"Isn't that too young?! Where will the baby live in the future?!" As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she wanted to bite off her tongue and die. What was she talking about!
Beep beep... the phone rang.
Thank God, it came at the right time!
"Little auntie, I am Crystal. My parents and I are going back! They are going to hold a wedding as soon as we get back!"
