Standing at the door was a man holding a little girl.
It was Tao Chunlin.
The child in his arms is undoubtedly Qiqi.
A smile appeared on Chi Xiuchuan's face, "Hello, Uncle Tao."
He had personally picked up the Epiphyllum from someone else's house before, so he naturally recognized the man's appearance.
However, he didn't see Qiqi that time.
Probably just missed it.
...
The man was obviously surprised to see Chi Xiuchuan, "Achuan, are you here?"
Then he noticed the white coat on Chi Xiuchuan and got a little clearer, "Achuan is here to study in the field?"
"Um."
Chi Xiuchuan smiled and said, "Come to the hospital and take a look."
...
"Dean Chi."
Seeing Chi's father behind him, the man shouted enthusiastically, "I'm bringing my daughter."
The next second, he smiled sheepishly and said, "It seems it's too early."
"Sorry to bother you."
He noticed that besides the Chi family and his son, there was also a strange young man wearing a white coat.
He didn't care.
I thought he was an intern doctor in the hospital just like Dean Chi's son.
So young.
Maybe he is Mr. Chi’s classmate.
Or the child of a doctor in the hospital.
...
"Qiqi, this is Uncle Chi."
The man introduced the children to the adults present, "This is Uncle Chi's son, Brother Chi."
The man's eyes fell on Xiao Xiao.
This young man was always there, and he couldn't ignore him.
But he didn’t know this young man, so how could he introduce him to his daughter?
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Hello, I am Xiao Xiao."
"oh oh."
The man swallowed what he was about to ask and smiled, "Hello."
"Qiqi, this is Brother Xiao."
...
The girl is very well-behaved.
Even though she still couldn't make a sound, she nodded to every uncle and brother her father introduced to her.
There was a shy smile on his face.
The pitiful and cute look made the expressions of everyone present become a little softer.
...
The man started chatting with Dean Chi.
Chi Xiuchuan walked to Xiao Xiao's side and whispered softly, "Master Xiao, did you find anything?"
Xiao Xiao looked at being held in his father's arms, looking curiously at Chi's father's child with his big dark eyes, a faint smile flashing across his eyes.
"Um."
"Ahem~"
Chi Xiuchuan, who realized that his voice was too loud, hurriedly coughed and smiled sheepishly at the man and Chi's father who looked over.
The man also smiled and asked with concern, "Achuan, are you okay?"
"fine."
Chi Xiuchuan shook his head, "Suddenly my throat felt itchy."
Chi's father looked at his son with a half-smile, opening his eyes and telling lies.
He turned his eyes slightly and looked at Master Xiao beside his son.
He knew that Master Xiao must have discovered something.
...
Chi's father chatted with Tao Chunlin again.
Seeing that the two of them were not paying attention, Chi Xiuchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
I was too frustrated.
He smiled bitterly.
But in an instant, he looked curiously at the girl in the man's arms, then at Master Xiao, and lowered his voice a bit, "Master Xiao, the girl's side..."
To his surprise, Xiao Xiao shook his head.
Chi Xiuchuan:?!
Didn’t Master Xiao just say he discovered something?
Now this is...
"Not with Qiqi."
Chi Xiuchuan understood Xiao Xiao's somewhat confused words immediately.
"Not with Qiqi?"
Although Chi Xiuchuan understood, the doubts in his heart did not diminish, "Then..."
"The girl has a familiar smell on her body."
The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened a bit.
When he said familiar... he didn't just mean demonic.
But the owner of the evil spirit is also his old acquaintance.
For strange monsters, he couldn't identify them with their monster aura.
However, for monsters that he has come into contact with more often, it is not difficult for him to do this.
The girl's demonic aura gave him a sense of familiarity from the beginning.
After thinking carefully, he soon knew the owner of the evil spirit.
...
Noticing the smile in Master Xiao's eyes, Chi Xiuchuan was stunned and then guessed, "Is he Master Xiao's friend?"
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
If it is it, then he doesn't have to worry.
He wanted to see the girl but was afraid of what might happen.
If there is really a monster following the girl, in Yuan Yuan's case it can be said that the monster is venting its anger on the girl, or it may... have ulterior motives.
...
"It's almost time, let's go."
Chi's father looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Tao Chunlin.
"well."
The man picked up his daughter.
Dean Chi just asked him to put his daughter on the stool.
He also felt a little tired holding his daughter all the time.
After all, my daughter has grown up slowly.
He is no longer the little baby he once was.
He was a little emotional.
time flies.
All the things that happened at home actually made him feel a little alien.
The child's mother is gone.
The child is unable to speak due to over stimulation.
The new wife turns out to be a duplicitous person who abuses children...
Sure enough, temporary feelings can be deceiving.
He was also anxious at that time.
He felt a little overwhelmed by having to take care of his family and work all by himself.
Especially the child's condition puts him under a lot of psychological pressure.
Yuan Yuan who appeared next to him at that time caused him to have an illusion.
Thinking you understand the other person, you end up harming your own child.
He is such a failure as a father.
...
No matter how much you regret what happened in the past, you can't change it.
The man tightened his grip on the child slightly.
From now on, he will never let his children get hurt again.
...
Fortunately, the child's injuries will heal, and he still has a chance to make amends.
...
Chi's father looked at Master Xiao and Chi Xiuchuan, "Where are you?"
"Want to come together?"
He also thought that Master Xiao seemed to have discovered something just now, so maybe there was no need for Master Xiao to follow him.
...
Chi Xiuchuan looked at Master Xiao.
Now that he knew that the girl was a friend of Master Xiao, he had nothing to worry about.
What he was struggling with now was the same problem as before.
Should we save Yuan Yuan?
The other party is a friend of Master Xiao, so the purpose of this other party must be to vent his anger on the girl.
Even monsters can't stand what Yuan Yuan is doing. He doesn't think his tolerance is as high as that of monsters.
He was also very angry at Yuan Yuan's behavior...
Chi Xiuchuan couldn't help but reached out and gently pressed his temple.
"What's wrong?"
Chi's father saw the confusion between Chi Xiuchuan's brows and eyes.
The child rarely gets so troubled.
"There is a question that I can't figure out."
Chi Xiuchuan shook his head slightly, "It's okay."
"Master Xiao, do you want to go over?"
Seeing that the man had already walked out of the office, Chi Xiuchuan asked softly.
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I want to... talk to Qiqi."
He originally wanted to be alone.
But then I thought that it didn't matter whether the Chi family and his son avoided it or not.
