This time, the girl with a ponytail did not stop her child and told her not to make loud noises in public places.
She squeezed her hands.
Take a deep breath.
The heart in the chest beats faster and faster.
Her ears felt a little ringing.
…
The man sitting at the table by the floor-to-ceiling window and eating noodles turned his head frequently.
Finally, when the girl with a ponytail passed by him, he hesitated and said,
"you……"
"Are you looking for a little girl?"
…
"Have you seen her!?"
After being stunned for a moment, the girl with the ponytail suddenly became very excited.
"That's right!"
"We're looking for a little girl!"
"Same size as him."
The girl with the ponytail pointed at the little boy who was still running around looking for the little girl.
"Wearing a pink princess dress."
"There is also a white lace parasol in her hand."
The characteristics are very distinct.
He is a child who impresses people at first glance.
"Have you seen her?"
"Where is she?!"
…
The man was a little startled by the excitement of the girl with the ponytail.
He unconsciously turned backwards.
Lean on the table.
…
The girl with a ponytail realized her excitement.
She squeezed her hands.
"Excuse me."
"I'm so excited."
"But you should have seen that we have been looking for that child for a long time."
"The child...is missing."
"Why is she missing?"
"But I searched all over this convenience store..."
As she talked, the girl with the ponytail couldn't help but talk to herself.
The clenched fingers turned white.
…
"Of course you can't find her."
The man calmed down and said slowly.
…
ah?
The girl with a sideways ponytail suddenly raised her eyes.
What's the meaning?
…
"I saw her run out of the store."
The man pointed in the direction of the convenience store entrance.
…
"What!?"
The girl with the ponytail was very surprised.
"She ran out of the store!?"
"How could she run out..."
Girls with side ponytails are a bit unbelievable.
Although the little girl is seriously "princess sick", she is not actually arrogant.
She just likes to be called a princess and likes everything related to princesses.
For example, the fluffy princess dress, the "gaudy" lace parasol...
Today, because the princess ran under someone else's umbrella to hide from the sun, she told the princess that similar behavior was not allowed.
It was emphasized that running away without telling an adult is absolutely not allowed.
The princess nodded and promised that there would be no next time.
And she told the princess that a real princess has noble moral character and will do what she promises without going back on her word.
This was a sure blow to the kid.
As long as the child hears the word princess, he will resolutely do it.
…
So the girl with the ponytail was surprised that the little girl forgot what she had promised her in such a short period of time and left the convenience store without authorization...
Even a little incredible.
How could it be...
The girl with the sideways ponytail was a little stunned.
"Are you sure you saw her running out?"
The girl with the ponytail couldn't help but ask again.
Could it be that the little girl just went out for a look and came back soon?
But if so...
How could she not find the child in the store?
She actually already has the answer in her heart...
…
"It's a little girl about six or seven years old wearing a pink princess dress, right?"
The man confirmed.
…
"Yes."
The girl with the ponytail nodded.
That child's features are so obvious...
How could you admit your mistake?
In such a hot weather, few children are willing to dress so "ceremoniously"...
The child is not afraid of the heat either.
She used to worry that the child would be suffocated and suffer from heatstroke if he wore too many clothes.
Later it was discovered that the child was extremely talented.
Even if I wear so much, I still feel energetic and have no problems.
In this case, the adults just wore whatever the child liked.
…
"Oh, it's raining."
Someone shouted softly.
…
What!?
The girl with a sideways ponytail suddenly raised her head.
It’s raining!?
…
The girl with a sideways ponytail looks out the window.
…
"real."
"Why is it raining?"
"Did the weather forecast say it will rain today?"
"I didn't bring an umbrella."
"Will it rain for a long time?"
…
Pedestrians outside the window started running.
The door of the convenience store was kept being pushed open.
Many people came in to take shelter from the rain.
…
A girl with a ponytail was hit by someone.
…
"sorry."
The other party apologized hastily.
"Are you okay?"
…
"Auntie."
The little boy looked at the girl with the ponytail very worriedly.
"Princess……"
Until now, the little boy finally understood the fact: the princess was missing.
…
"prince."
The girl with a side ponytail put a bag of popsicles into the little boy's hand.
"Take it."
"You're eating popsicles here."
"You can eat them all."
"Just wait here for my aunt."
"Auntie will be back soon."
…
"Auntie!"
The little boy subconsciously grabbed the bag stuffed by the girl with a ponytail.
The coldness of the popsicles penetrated through the bag and gave the little boy some goosebumps.
He said hurriedly, "I'll go with you."
"I want to find the princess too!"
…
"no!"
The girl with the ponytail slowed down her tone.
"Prince, be obedient."
"Don't distract auntie, okay?"
"You stay here."
"When you finish eating your popsicles, my aunt and the princess will be back."
The girl with a sideways ponytail raised her head and looked around.
Soon, she strode forward and grabbed a clerk.
"Hello, one of my children is missing. I want to find her."
"Please take care of this child."
The girl with a ponytail pulled the little boy and placed him next to the clerk.
"Thanks."
After saying these words, the girl with a ponytail strode towards the door.
Go against the current.
Soon, she left the convenience store.
…
The clerk didn't have time to react.
She looked at the direction the girl with the ponytail had left, then looked down at the children beside her, and slowly understood what had happened.
…
Seeing the uneasy look on the little boy's face, the clerk bent down and smiled at the little boy, "Don't worry."
"Your mother will come back to pick you up soon."
…
The little boy raised his eyes and looked at the clerk.
…
The clerk smiles.
…
"She's not my mother."
The little boy seemed speechless.
…
ah?
The clerk was stunned.
In an instant, some bad suspicions such as abduction and trafficking quickly passed through her mind.
…
"...She is my aunt."
The little boy continued.
….
Why……
All the suspicions in the clerk's mind were shattered.
"Yes, really?"
The clerk sneered.
"Sorry, I made a mistake."
"Then the child will just wait here obediently for my aunt to come back."
"Okay?"
…
The little boy pursed his lips.
He nodded obediently.
…
"So good."
The clerk praised.
At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
She was also worried that the child would cry if he could not see his aunt.
