Lucy left without the slightest bit of reluctance, and without a few words of explanation to little Lily. It was as if her stepmother had put aside her troubles and headed for a better life alone.
Of course, to be precise, little Lily is not her child. She has just lived for such a long time, and leaving her child to be taken care of by someone she has known for a few days is obviously not what a normal person would do.
If Lu Qian had not given Lin Mo money to help take care of her, but Lin Mo had given her money, the police might have needed to intervene.
Lin Mo sat on the sofa and watched Lucy's retreating back until he could no longer see her. Then he withdrew his gaze and fell on another person who was acting very strangely.
Little Lily acted quite indifferently from the moment she entered the bookstore, as if she didn't know anything, and as if she already knew everything.
Just now, after Lucy got up and left, until she completely disappeared, the expression on the little girl's face and various actions did not change at all. From sitting on this sofa to now, this little girl seems to be...
Being alone in a space with no one around.
The changes in the surroundings do not seem to have anything to do with this little girl. Children of this age, even if they understand some things and are relatively sensible, even know about this matter in advance.
It's impossible to be like little Lily, not showing any emotion at all.
No, it shouldn't be said that there was no emotion at all, because at this moment, little Lily was smiling, very happily, and there seemed to be something interesting outside the bookstore that was attracting her.
"Little Lily?"
Lin Mo shouted.
"Huh? Uncle, do you want to call me?"
The little girl turned back and looked at Lin Mo cutely. Her big eyes were blinking and looking so cute. There was a smile on her little face. It seemed that she was very happy to see Lin Mo.
"Yes, your mother is gone, and you will have to live with me for a while."
Lin Mo's tone was calm. Logically speaking, at this time, he should use a softer tone and speak carefully, trying not to mention the fact that her parents abandoned her and left.
But Lin Mo didn't, because in his opinion, this child was not ordinary, and he also wanted to know how this little Lily would answer.
"Yeah, I know, when are we going home?"
Little Lily nodded and took another sip of juice, but she looked indifferent, as if whether Lucy left or not had nothing to do with her.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
Raising her eyebrows, this little girl's reaction was beyond Lin Mo's expectations.
"Huh? Uncle, are you a bad person?"
Little Lily seemed very surprised. She imitated Lin Mo and raised her eyebrows. I have to say that this action made by Little Lily was much cuter than Lin Mo's.
But this little girl's move made Lin Mo's heart sink slightly. He was too calm and had the intention to imitate his movements. It was obvious that there was something wrong with this little girl.
"Well, I'm a bad person."
He nodded in agreement, not caring whether a child hearing such words would instantly collapse the trust between the two.
"Oh, when will we go home?"
Little Lily seemed not to hear, nodded, raised her little head and asked again.
"If I'm not going home today, I'll stay here."
Lin Mo found the little girl in front of him more and more interesting, very interesting. The indifference she showed was not fake at all, and was not even in line with her age, so Lin Mo's probing did not stop.
"Live here?"
Little Lily's cute little brows instantly tightened, her eyes wandered around the bookstore, and she looked around the bookstore before shaking her head.
"No, I want to go home!"
His eyes were firm, and he knew at a glance that there was no possibility of negotiation.
When a little child behaves like this, it's like if you don't send me home, I'll go back by myself.
"Okay, then let's go back at eleven o'clock in the evening. Uncle will take you to play some fun things before eleven o'clock."
When little Lily was looking around the bookstore, Lin Mo discovered something very interesting. When the little girl was looking at the bookstore environment, she paused for a moment in a certain direction, and then in order to cover up the pause, she hurriedly
Shake his head.
Although it was only for a short time, Lin Mo still very clearly captured the flash of fear in little Lily's eyes.
And that direction is exactly the small room in the direction of Nie San's shrine.
Not to mention that Lin Mo installed a ventilator in the small room and also arranged a concealment formation. Not to mention that the door was not opened. Even if the door was open, the position between where they were sitting and the small room would be.
There is also a bookshelf in the middle.
Not to mention anyone else, even Lin Mo couldn't be said to be able to detect the weirdness in that room under such circumstances.
But from the little girl's reaction just now, it was obvious that she had discovered or sensed the situation in that room, or even sensed danger, so she felt a flash of fear.
Lin Mo didn't think that just this made the little girl insist on going home.
Moreover, what Lucy said about little Lily being too familiar with the bed and not being able to sleep anywhere else is true.
That is just an excuse. Just say it and listen to it. If you really believe it, you will lose. Moreover, you can be so calm under such circumstances, and after discovering the weirdness of that small room,
Being able to suppress her fear so quickly shows that she is a little girl who can easily adapt to the environment.
What Lin Mo said at this time was another test.
When she heard that she had to go back at 11 o'clock in the evening, little Lily's little face turned into a little bun. She was very confused. She found that the guy in front of her didn't treat her as a child at all. This attitude was what she said to a child.
?
And at 11 o'clock in the evening, a child will be sent away
Go back, do you want her to go to school and sleep the next day?
If that's the case, why go home?
Taking a deep breath, Little Lily's chest rose and fell violently, and then she spoke again:
"Mom said you have to go to bed before eight o'clock in the evening."
Her voice was cute, with a little bit of undetectable anger, which she concealed very well.
"Well, you can go to sleep. I'll take you back at eleven o'clock in the evening."
Lin Mo was leaning on the sofa, looking like that. He didn't care about little Lily. The little girl was so angry that she didn't expect that this uncle who seemed to be kind-hearted would be like this.
one person.
"Qi Feng, how could you do this? If they didn't leave their children to you, how could you take care of them like this?"
Liao Yu hid next to a bookshelf and heard what the two said. Although she also thought this little girl was a bit strange, compared to Lin Mo's attitude and words, this little girl's words were really normal.
Is this an adult’s attitude towards children?
The key is that I accepted the money and agreed to help take care of the child, but this is the result?
Liao Yu couldn't stand it and couldn't understand why Lin Mo suddenly became like this. He really couldn't listen anymore, so he walked out from behind the bookshelf and walked towards Little Lily while talking.
passed.
"stop!"
Lin Mo's voice turned cold instantly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Liao Yu. The change in that moment shocked Liao Yu.
"What are you doing? Why is this happening all of a sudden!"
"Scared me~"
Liao Yu said and took another step towards Little Lily, staring at Lin Mo with her beautiful eyes, feeling a little uneasy.
"I said, stay away from her!"
The voice was bone-chilling, and Lin Mo was treating him like an enemy, his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Regarding Lin Mo's sudden change, Liao Yu couldn't understand what was going on at all. Her heart was beating wildly, her eyes were red, and the grievances in her heart almost burst out. This was the first time Lin Mo had treated her.
Huh, she didn't know what she had done.
"Sister, can you take me home? Uncle is so scary~"
At this time, Little Lily, who had been silent, opened her little hand to Liao Yu, as if asking for comfort. Liao Yu just wanted to step forward, but saw Lin Mo drag Little Lily to his side.
Those cold eyes stared into little Lily's eyes:
"The same goes for you, don't get close to her!"
"Oh, okay~"
Little Lily pursed her lips, spread her hands, and then sat next to Lin Mo.
"I want to be home before ten o'clock~"
"Can"
Lin Mo regained his composure, and Little Lily seemed as if nothing had happened. The two were leaning together, like a harmonious father and daughter, but Liao Yu standing next to him was completely confused, and those two people
, it seems that he has no intention of explaining to her...
