Chapter 36 Pei Xu's Life

Su Youli, who hadn't seen children of the same age for many days, did not leave.

He sat on the steps of the flower bed, and from time to time he would turn his head to look at the child who was still drawing in the sand.

Pei Yi got up early in the morning and went to the children's room to see the child, but saw nothing.

Pei Xu was no longer in the room.

At first, Pei Yi thought Qiqi just went downstairs to have breakfast. After all, Qiqi was a very independent child. When she was two years old, she could use chopsticks to eat by herself and didn't need anyone to sleep with her.

It was not until he searched the entire villa and shouted until his voice was hoarse but still couldn't find Pei Xu that he became worried and immediately expanded the search area.

"Qiqi——"

The man ran over with a worried look on his face and saw Pei Xu squatting alone in the sand pit, silently drawing with a branch.

After a few minutes of fear, I couldn't control myself at this moment: "I called you so many times, why didn't you answer me?"

Pei Yi had already controlled himself, but his voice was still a little loud.

Everyone could hear the helplessness, worry, and some anger in his tone.

Compared to his excitement, the boy squatting on the ground just turned around and looked at him, then turned back to do his own thing without saying a word.

Pei Yi looked at the little figure squatting on the ground, his eyes suddenly reddened, "Qiqi, please don't do this in the future, okay? Your uncle will be very worried about you if you do this."

The branch paused for a moment, then resumed its movement after a moment.

"Play for a while and then go home. It's time to bask in the sun." Pei Yi said to the small figure.

Pei Yi walked away only after he saw Pei Xu's barely perceptible nod.

When he turned around, he saw a group of two, one big and one small, sitting on the steps of his garden.

It's a new neighbor.

Pei Yi took a breath and returned to his smiling young man appearance.

"Hello."

Tang Dou stood up, feeling a little embarrassed because of what he had just witnessed: "Hello, we are just passing by, Youyou wants to see the flowers, we will leave soon."

"No, no, please come in and sit down." Pei Yi invited warmly.

Tang Dou was already holding Su Youli's hand and preparing to leave. When she heard what he said, she looked down at the little guy.

Tang Dou and the little guy naturally heard what happened in the sand pit just now.

Going in now might not be a good idea.

Tang Dou wanted to refuse, but the little guy was obviously very interested in the little boy named Pei Xu.

Thinking that he hadn't played with other children of his age for so many days, Tang Dou bent over and said, "Youyou, do you want to go in and see the garden of your uncle's house? Your uncle invites us to visit."

Su Youli looked at Pei Yi, then at the child not far away, and nodded.

As soon as the little guy entered the garden, he started talking more.

"Brother Xiao Tang, that's a dandelion, and that's an apple tree, I know it..."

Pei Yi was envious of the innocent and tender childish voice and the cute body movements unique to children of this age. When would his Qiqi be able to smile like this?

Tang Dou took Youyou and Pei Yi to Pei Xu's amusement park.

Pei Xu frowned as his territory was invaded by a strange child, and gave a warning look to the little guy sitting upright on the wooden horse.

Su Youli's body trembled, and the little hand that was holding the pony's ears did not dare to move.

The wooden horse is his least favorite toy, so just play with it.

Pei Xu withdrew his gaze.

There is a distance between the two little guys, they play their own games and do not interfere with each other.

Pei Yi heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that Pei Xu would not attack.

"You look very nervous." Tang Dou said.

"Qiqi seldom plays with children of the same age." Pei Yi sighed.

Pei Yi nodded and sat on a stool in the garden. The servants at home had already brought breakfast over.

Pei Yi's breakfast was a Western-style breakfast of bread slices. When he gave the other portion to Tang Dou, Tang Dou said he had already eaten.

"You are not used to this, right? I asked someone to make some Chinese breakfast. I also have some dumplings that my aunt made yesterday. If you don't mind..."

Tang Dou accepted his kindness and smiled: "Don't bother, I really have eaten it."

Okay, Pei Yi lowered his head and started eating, paying attention to Pei Xu while eating.

"I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"

"Tang Dou."

"What's that kid's name? I just heard you call him Youyou? Which You?"

"There is one under the roof."

Over there, the little guy got down from the blue wooden horse and climbed onto the yellow wooden horse on the other side. Even if no one was with him, the little guy could still have fun by himself.

Pei Yi looked envious: "Youyou is so cute."

Tang Dou didn't know whether he should say that the child named Pei Xu had been squatting for more than half an hour.

"I'm Youyou's nanny. I graduated with a doctorate this year, majoring in child psychology."

Pei Yi stood in awe: "How amazing!"

"Neither," he seemed to hesitate for a long time, not knowing whether to say it.

Pei Yi is a very nice person. You can tell that he actually has no experience in taking care of children, or maybe Pei Xu refuses to be taken care of by others, as he is wearing thick black long-sleeved shirt and trousers in such hot weather.

"I hope you don't think I'm overstepping my bounds. Given Qiqi's situation, have you considered taking him to see a psychiatrist?"

Pei Yi froze and sat up straight. He said with some difficulty: "You figured it out."

His eyes swept over the motionless Pei Qiqi, and Pei Yi spoke with a difficult tone:

"Qiqi is my nephew. My brother died in a car accident half a year ago. Qiqi's mother quickly formed a new family after my brother's death. She was not allowed to bring her child there, so she put the child in a full-time kindergarten..."

Tang Dou was also surprised. He didn't expect that Xiao Qiqi's life experience was like this.

Tang Dou is a thoughtful man. After hearing Xiao Qiqi's life story, he looked at the lonely little boy with a bit more genuine heartache in his eyes.

"My brother's mother had kept the news of his death a secret from me. Two months ago, my work abroad ended, and I wanted to go back to China to see my brother and Qiqi, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, when he came back, all he saw was his brother's tombstone, even his nephew was gone.

Pei Yi was furious and found Qiqi's mother's residence. Fearing that he would make a big deal out of it, the woman told him the address of Qiqi's full-time kindergarten.

Recalling painful things will undoubtedly open the wound that is about to heal again.

Pei Yi will never forget the day he found Qiqi.

Most of the children in full-time kindergartens are sent there because their parents are busy and there are no elderly people at home to help take care of them. Their financial conditions are also limited and they cannot afford a nanny or a maid.

The kindergarten teachers were very nice at the beginning and took good care of the children.

Because they know that parents are not very confident in the first two weeks after sending their children to kindergarten, they will often send them videos of their children playing and eating in kindergarten to increase their trust in them.
