The corners of his mouth widened and he smiled proudly.
"Hurious."
The voice coming from behind made Xuanru's body stiffen subconsciously.
"Don't scare the kids."
Huanlu's body slowly hid a little lower.
Then it turned around and showed Master Xiao Xiao an even brighter smile than before.
There is a certain innocence between his eyebrows and his eyes.
Xiao Xiao laughed.
…
"Master Xiao, here we are."
Chi Xiuchuan stopped the car.
Tao Er is already waiting downstairs.
"Uncle Tao."
Chi Xiuchuan was a little surprised. He called the man before coming, but... "Why did you come downstairs?"
"We can find a place."
"You are all running for Qiqi, how can I wait up there?"
The man grinned. Thinking of his daughter, he couldn't help but smile in his eyes, "That child has been very excited since she knew you were coming."
"If we hadn't discovered it in time, we would have been lying on the window."
"Looks like she-"
The man's words stopped abruptly.
Only then did he realize that there were only two young men getting out of the car.
No small animals.
He looked into the car behind the young man, his eyes narrowed, and there was a bit of hesitation on his face, "Qiqi's friend... didn't come over?"
Chi Xiuchuan looked at Master Xiao subconsciously.
Xiao Xiao smiled, "Uncle Tao, let's go up first."
"Qiqi has to wait impatiently."
"Ah, oh."
The man nodded.
But I already had the answer in my heart.
Didn't you really come?
Qiqi... He sighed a little when he thought of the sudden light in the child's eyes when he heard him say that Brother Chi and Brother Xiao would come over later.
The child will be very disappointed, right?
…
Several people took the elevator to the seventeenth floor.
"Qiqi."
The elevator door opened, and Xiao Xiao immediately saw the little girl half-hiding behind the door not far away.
Hearing this, the others followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and spotted the little girl.
"Qiqi."
The men strode over, bent down and picked up the girl, smiling so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, "Do you miss daddy?"
The girl was stunned.
"What are you thinking about? You've only been down for five minutes."
A female voice sounded angrily.
"Sister-in-law."
The man smiled and said hello.
"Qiqi wants to see her friends, right?"
The woman's words made the man's face show a little helplessness.
Thinking of the disappointed look that would appear on the child's face later, he was a little afraid to tell the child that her friend had not come.
…
The girl turned to look at the woman who walked in, and nodded seriously.
The little head poked out of the man's shoulder and looked in the direction of Xiao Xiao and Chi Xiuchuan.
The little face is full of expectation.
…
"Classmate Chi, classmate Xiao, right?"
The woman pushed the half-open door open a little and said, "Come in quickly."
"If you have anything to say, come in and tell me."
The woman greets the two young men.
"Please come in."
…
The girl stood up and stretched her neck a little.
The man hurriedly pulled the child down and said, "Danger."
"Qiqi, don't worry."
"Let's talk in the living room."
Also give him some time to think about how to explain to the child better?
In fact, he had been thinking about this issue in the elevator before going upstairs.
However, until he heard classmate Xiao call Qiqi's name, he couldn't think of any good words.
He was usually pretty good at writing official documents and reports, but now he was stumped by such an explanation to a child.
The man smiled bitterly.
His head ached a little.
…
The man puts the child on the sofa.
The woman took out the cut fruits from the kitchen.
"Classmate Chi, classmate Xiao, sit down."
"Thank you for coming over."
"Eat some fruit first."
…
The girl gets off the sofa.
Xiao ran to Xiao Xiao's side.
The little guy looked left and then again, but he didn't find the figure he wanted to see. The expectation and joy on his face gradually turned into confusion and grievance.
She tugged at Xiao Xiao's clothes.
The little face he raised looked like he was about to cry.
"Qiqi..."
The man felt a little distressed, but for a moment he didn't know what to say to comfort the child.
Xiao Xiao squatted down and winked at the girl, "Qiqi, let's talk?"
The girl couldn't help but imitate Xiao Xiao and blink her eyes.
Chat?
What's the meaning?
The girl tilted her head.
The man was stunned and said, "Classmate Xiao?"
"Uncle Tao."
Xiao Xiao stood up and asked, "Can I have a chat with Qiqi alone?"
Um?
The inexplicable request of the young man in front of him made the man unable to react.
Talk to your child alone?
……Why?
Is there anything that needs to be discussed with the child alone?
Didn’t you bring the friend your child misses so much?
Is this... something that needs to be discussed alone?
There was some confusion and hesitation on the man's face.
…
"Uncle Tao."
Chi Xiuchuan spoke, "Qiqi's friend is a bit special."
"Let them talk alone."
"Ah? Special?"
The man murmured, the doubts in his heart increasing instead of decreasing.
It's just... now that Mr. Chi has spoken...
Compared to classmate Xiao, who had no idea what he was doing when they met for the first time today, Dean Chi's son, who saved his eldest brother, is naturally more trustworthy.
What's more, Qiqi had just received Dean Chi's care before.
The man smiled and said, "Sorry."
"Because... you also know..."
The man spoke a little vaguely.
After all, he didn't want to mention that person's name in front of the child anymore, so as not to stir up bad memories in the child.
"So I may have overreacted a little bit."
"It should."
Chi Xiuchuan nodded slightly, "But Uncle Tao, don't worry."
"It'll be okay."
"I know."
The man laughed loudly, "My eldest brother's house-"
His voice stopped suddenly.
It suddenly occurred to him that his daughter had been hurt in his own home.
Sometimes, location is not a guarantee of absolute safety.
There was a hint of ambiguity between the man's brows and eyes.
The smile became a little awkward.
"Then Mr. Xiao, can you and Qiqi go to the child's bedroom to chat?"
The woman smiled and waved her hand, "Our Qiqi is the one who is troubling you."
"yes."
The man's expression returned to his natural state, "Classmate Xiao, the child's bedroom is here."
…
The bedroom door is closed.
The air among the people outside fell into silence for a few seconds.
"Classmate Chi."
The woman spoke out with a warm smile, "Let's go back to the living room first."
"They have to talk for a while anyway."
"Let's go to the living room to eat some fruit and watch TV."
"good."
Chi Xiuchuan smiled and nodded.
The man glanced at the closed door, then turned around, with a smile on his face, and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the two people in front of him.
…
Xiao Xiao, who walked into the house, raised his eyes and saw the window facing the door, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
