Now that Xiao Xiao said so, the girl's father no longer insisted.
They escorted Xiao Xiao to the stairs.
"Classmate Xiao, goodbye."
"Uncle, aunt, Nini, goodbye."
"Big brother, goodbye."
The little girl blinked at Xiao Xiao, with a hint of cunning in her eyebrows.
Xiao Xiao laughed.
…
Xiao Xiao didn't wait long.
Then I saw the little girl running out of the unit building.
"big-"
The girl covered her mouth and looked at the unit building behind her as if she was guilty.
After finding nothing unusual, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.
He spoke again, his voice much lowered, "Big brother."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao lowered his voice in cooperation.
"hey-hey."
She seemed to find this very interesting, and the girl couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
…
After laughing for a while, the girl put down her hands and said with eyes curled up on her face, "Brother, come with me."
"good."
Xiao Xiao responded softly.
His eyes were full of smiles.
He felt like he was playing house with a child.
It seems like...he never did anything so childlike when he was a child?
…
"Big brother, it's right in front."
the girl shouted excitedly.
Now that they were some distance away from her home, she wasn't worried about her voice being heard.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao responded with a smile.
Moreover, he had already seen the boy in the pavilion in front.
…
"Big brother."
The boy who was looking around saw the familiar figure coming over, and immediately waved and shouted happily.
The voice didn't fall, and people were already running over.
"Big brother."
"Nini."
The boy smiles brightly.
…
"Xiaoyi."
Xiao Xiao helped the boy who was running too fast to steady himself, "Slow down, be careful of falling."
"Is your home near here?"
"Um."
The boy nodded, "It's the building at the back."
Xiao Xiao looked in the direction the boy pointed.
That location was not very far from the girl's home they walked over just now.
It's only about ten minutes away.
It turns out that these two children are neighbors in the same community.
…
Xiao Xiao lowered his head and looked at the boy, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Have your parents given permission for you to come out?"
"They weren't with you?"
Especially today is a weekend.
This child has been lost twice just now. Logically speaking, the child's parents would probably keep an eye on the child.
"Ah, you sneaked out?"
The girl suddenly realized.
"I didn't."
The boy jumped a little, "Uncle Chen brought me out!"
"Hello."
At this time, another person in the pavilion came out.
He is a middle-aged man with a haggard look.
"Because Uncle Chen is with Xiao Yi, my parents agreed that Xiao Yi would come out."
The boy explained.
Otherwise, if he wanted to come out alone... it would be absolutely impossible.
His parents are still worried about him getting lost twice. They will call his name loudly if they don't see him in the past few days.
He was also helpless.
…
"Hello."
The middle-aged man walked into Xiao Xiao and others and said hello again.
The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to show a polite smile.
But the frown on his brows and the dark spots under his eyes made this smile not very successful.
"Hello."
Xiao Xiao's gaze passed over the man's shoulder and glanced at a certain monster that was like a ghost behind him.
Seeing this monster, he probably understood what the middle-aged man wanted to do with Xiao Yi, and what Xiao Yi wanted to do with him.
...
"Hello, uncle."
"Hello, aunt."
The girl said hello politely.
But the man hid behind Xiao Xiao.
This aunt... looks so strange.
...
The middle-aged man was stunned.
How is aunt?
This little girl also saw...the aunt Xiao Yi mentioned?
He subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.
Nothing.
Could it be... that there is something wrong with him that he can't see?
He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
…
"Uncle Chen, this is the big brother."
The boy didn't notice anything unusual about the middle-aged man. He grabbed Xiao Xiao's clothes and said with a proud look on his face, "Big brother is very powerful."
"Big brother."
The boy looked up at Xiao Xiao again, his eyes pleading, "Please help Uncle Chen."
"Uncle Chen is so pitiful."
"Let's go to the pavilion and talk."
The boy's words awakened the middle-aged man who was deep in thought.
In response to the child's remarks, he smiled bitterly and spoke hurriedly.
Lest the child say anything embarrassing again.
Although the child was actually right, he also felt that he was quite pitiful.
Something so inexplicable happened.
…
Everyone went to the pavilion and sat down.
"this……"
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Xiao, "I don't know what to call you?"
"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao."
"Oh, classmate Xiao."
The middle-aged man nodded, "Is Mr. Xiao still in school?"
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "I'm a college student."
"oh oh."
really.
There was a bit of a wry smile on the middle-aged man's face.
He was actually a little disappointed when he saw this young man.
Although he also knew that the big brother in the child's mouth must be young.
However, before seeing the real person, he still had some hope.
…
Can such a young student really help him?
He couldn't help but doubt it.
However, from the very beginning when he asked Xiaoyi for help, he was already a little crazy, right?
He also suddenly thought of what the child said that day...
Just in case...
All have come.
People were also invited.
A dead horse is treated as a living horse.
After the middle-aged man comforted himself in his heart, he raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him.
"Classmate Xiao."
"You should listen to my story first."
"Please say."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
"...Things sound..."
The middle-aged man didn't know how to describe it for a moment. He smiled bitterly, "Well... even if you think it's ridiculous, I hope you can listen to what I have to say."
After all, he made up his mind to say it.
There is always hope in my heart.
"OK."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly again.
...
"...You're probably wondering why I would ask a kid to help?"
The middle-aged man struggled for a long time and chose this starting point.
He didn't wait for the young man in front of him to answer, and continued talking on his own.
He had no intention of wanting an answer from the other party.
After all, isn’t it obvious what the other person is thinking?
Why does he need to hear what the other person says with his own ears?
"Because last time this kid..."
The middle-aged man told what happened when he and his wife sent souvenirs to the Zheng family.
He repeated emphatically what the child said that day.
"I felt at the time that this kid was taking advantage of me."
"My wife and I were not very happy after hearing those words."
"This is natural, right?"
The man smiled bitterly.
"I thought things would just go away..."
"Although I felt a little angry at the time, my wife and I are not that stingy. We almost forgot about it after we left Zheng's house..."
