The fingers of the woman's hand on her knees were folded together, and the veins on the back of her hand were faintly visible.
She doesn't believe it...
Was the child's remorseful expression fake at that time?
If it's fake...
Why couldn't she see any clues?
...
The woman looks at the man.
Seeing that the man was confused, she looked at the child's room again.
The man suddenly stood up.
The biggest reason why he insisted on talking at home just now was also to verify with the person involved.
It was just the child's unexpected behavior that disturbed his mood.
He forgot for a moment.
...
"Dong dong~"
After knocking on the door a few times, the man reached out to open the door.
But then the feeling in his hand told him that the door was locked.
The man unexpectedly turned to look at the woman, "The door is locked."
...
The woman stood up.
He also walked to the door of the child's room.
She first tried to turn the door handle, and when she found that the door was indeed locked, the woman's heart skipped a beat.
Although she knew that what the old man said was not a lie...
After all, they had no grievances against the old man and had always gotten along well. What reason did the old man have to lie to them?
However, she hoped that what the old man said was false.
At least...that's just the surface.
She wants to believe that everything the child does has a reason.
Or is there a reason for the child's current avoidance?
...
The woman took a deep breath.
"Dong dong~"
"Xiao Ji."
The woman called the child's name.
"Why did you lock the door?"
"come out."
"Mom and dad have something to ask you."
"Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji..."
"Xiao Ji!"
The child's lack of response made the woman's already agitated heart become even more restless.
"come out!"
The man held the woman's arm.
"Xiao Ji."
The man's voice was calm.
His face didn't look good.
This child behaves too rudely in front of outsiders.
You know, there are not only their family in this room now, but also two old people and a strange young man across the door.
"What do you look like like this?"
"come out."
"If anything happens, let's discuss it in person."
"Xiao Ji!"
The man's voice became more severe.
There seemed to be some movement in the house.
When the two of them listened carefully, they heard nothing.
...
"what happened?"
The woman couldn't help but murmured.
You know, this child is actually a little afraid of his father.
certainly.
Most children are afraid of an angry dad.
This is not surprising.
Whenever the child's father loses his temper, the child will always be obedient.
This time, the anger in the child's father's words was so obvious...
But the child still didn't do what they said.
...
"Dong dong dong~"
The man suddenly raised his hand and slammed the door panel several times.
The heavy force made the door panel make a loud noise.
Everyone was a little startled.
...
"what are you doing?"
The woman caressed her chest and glared at the man angrily.
...
"Thanks."
The old lady turned to Xiao Xiao and smiled gratefully.
Just now, if Xiao Xiao hadn't quickly held down her hand with one hand and pulled the water glass out of her hand with the other, the water in the water glass would have spilled onto her hand.
She was also frightened by the sudden loud noise.
Even the cup in his hand was almost overturned.
...
"Xiao Feng."
The old lady looked at the man and said, "Be patient with the child."
"Don't be so impatient."
"If the child is scared by you, won't he be even more afraid to come out?"
There was a somewhat forced smile on the man's face.
But he was really impatient.
The child's rare willfulness made him feel angry.
Especially the child's behavior is a slap in the face to the couple.
They all believe in children.
They are not very happy with the old man who comes to the door with a look that is good for them, but says that their child is not good.
Who can be happy?
As a result, the child's behavior in the next second verified that the old man's words were probably true.
The child lied to them.
But they, as the parents of their children, did not know the truth until they came to the door.
Are there such shameful parents as they are?
...
"Do you have a key to the child's room?"
The man looks at the woman.
The woman frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly, "There should be."
"I'll try and find it."
After finishing her words, the woman hurriedly walked towards the master bedroom.
...
"Feng Ji."
The man called the child's full name.
"Please wait a moment."
Xiao Xiao spoke up.
The man looked at Xiao Xiao unexpectedly.
He almost forgot that this person existed.
"Don't tell the child yet that you are going to find his room key."
Xiao Xiao said softly.
"for-"
The man who had just planned to do this blurted out his doubts.
The next second, his voice stopped abruptly.
He thought he understood the young man's concerns.
"You mean..."
"Just to be on the safe side."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth raised slightly.
...
The man's face became a little ugly again.
"This is the fourth floor."
He murmured.
Xiao Xiao didn't make a sound.
He said it was just to be on the safe side.
...
"What riddles are you playing?"
The old lady looked at the man and then at the young man beside her.
She pulled Xiao Xiao's arm.
"Why can't the old lady understand?"
"Old man."
The old lady turned to look at the old man, "Do you understand?"
"No."
The old man shook his head.
"It's no use."
The old lady looked disgusted.
Old man:......
Didn’t this old woman understand it too?
It's nice to talk to him.
...
"nothing."
Seeing the persistence on the old lady's face, Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, "I'm just worried that the child will be too scared and behave irrationally."
"Irrational behavior?"
The old lady repeated subconsciously.
"Get out of the window."
Xiao Xiao's words made the two old men widen their eyes.
"How can it be?!"
"This is the fourth floor!"
the old lady exclaimed.
The old man hurriedly reminded the old lady, "Oh, I told you to speak softly."
"What should I do if my children hear it?"
The old lady quickly closed her mouth.
After a few seconds, she asked in a low voice, "Is it really possible?"
"have no idea."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
"It's just a possibility."
...
"oh oh."
The old lady nodded.
"The child won't be so obsessed with it...it's too dangerous..."
"This matter is not that big of a deal..."
"He just needs to admit his mistake and promise not to make it again in the future..."
The old lady muttered.
If the child really acted impulsively and made a dangerous move...and if something happened because of it...she would not have peace of mind for the rest of her days.
"It's fine."
The old man patted the old lady on the shoulder.
"Didn't Xiao Xiao ask Xiao Feng not to tell the children that they were looking for the room key?"
"Um."
The old lady responded softly.
"Grandma Zhang, drink some water."
Xiao Xiao handed the water glass he just took from the old man to the old man.
