"Can you... take her back?"
"sure."
Caius nodded and said, "It's just... kid, where are your parents?" Didn't they say they would come to pick you up?
His voice was very gentle. Ning Ning knew it would be impolite not to answer, so she reluctantly said, "Overtime."
Her parents were working overtime, so she ran away from home.
For several days, when her parents came home, she was already asleep. She was really angry and didn't want her parents to work overtime, but they didn't agree.
After Caius understood the whole story, he felt a little helpless and said, "Okay, let your uncle take you back."
He glanced at his children, who seemed relieved, and instructed, "I'll be back soon. You two little ones, stay home, okay? Don't open the door to strangers, oh no, not even acquaintances. Everything will wait until I get back, okay?"
"I know." Li Yao muttered, "I'm not stupid..."
Ning Ning pouted unhappily, but still followed Caius obediently.
The community was very quiet. Ning Ning was still carrying her cute little schoolbag, following Caius closely.
She was a little uncomfortable when it was very quiet, so she tugged at Caius's clothes and asked, "Uncle, where is Aunt Li?"
"I went to visit a patient."
"Then why didn't you go?"
"Because I have children to look after."
"...Oh, then can I stay at your house and sleep?" She still had some fantasies.
"No, your family will be very worried."
"No way..."
Ning Ning muttered to herself, but the next second, the flashlight shone straight at her, and in front of her were her parents.
They are coming!
Caius naturally saw it as well. He originally planned to drive to pick up the child, but going to the garage was a waste of time, so it would be better to take a taxi.
Before I could get a taxi, I did get Ning Ning's parents.
Yes, Li Yao contacted Ning Ning's parents and told them that Ning Ning was here, but he didn't expect that they would come to pick her up.
There was no need for Caius to send them off. He was happy to see the result. He handed the girl over to them, said a few simple hellos and left.
He has two children at home. Although he knows that they are very obedient, he is still a little worried.
Sometimes, he almost forgot that they were just two three-year-old children... and three-year-old children are actually not suitable to be left alone at home.
“…”
Little Li Yao was counting sheep at home, actually he was waiting for his father to come back.
Li Yao was worried that he might tinker with something dangerous, so he didn't go into the house to sleep. He just curled up on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.
Tomorrow is Monday...
Mom will be back tomorrow...
He bought a gift...
Give Mom a gift!
“Ding Dong… Ding Dong…”
The doorbell rang.
"Who is it?"
Little Li Yao spoke too quickly and stood up to go to the door to see who it was.
Li Yao grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Open the door."
"Why open the door? What if there are bad guys? Didn't I tell you not to open the door when no adults are home? No, you can't open the door when there are adults at home either."
Little Li Yao blinked, "I've got it. So... do you want to go see who it is?"
Li Yao was silent for two seconds, then he let go of his hand and walked towards the door. "I'll go and see, you stay here and don't move."
Why?
Little Li Yao didn't want to stay still, so he secretly followed his brother over.
I have a video doorbell installed at home, so I can see who is outside from inside.
Who is...
It was Caius.
And smiled at the door.
Li Yao's expression suddenly became subtle, "Didn't you bring your keys?"
The combination lock at home hasn't been used for a long time. They always prefer to use the key. I don't know why, but it's just a habit.
Caius actually brought the key with him. When he heard the child's voice, he opened the door himself, bent down and rubbed the child's face, "Good boy, you did what I said."
Oh, he just wanted to see if the children took his words to heart and not open the door casually.
That's fine, they didn't.
“…”
Because of what happened that night, Ning Ning decided to break up with Li Yao for one minute. During class, she had not spoken to Li Yao for one minute and thirty-eight seconds.
Li Yao didn't pay much attention to her at all. It was mainly because he had something on his mind and didn't have the time to care about anything else.
Li Qiao is coming back soon.
He prepared the gift.
He thought Li Qiao would like it.
The delicate and tender child pursed his lips, and it could be seen that he was a little nervous.
He was thinking about Li Qiao, and Li Qiao was also thinking about her child.
Since the little ones still have to go to school, it would be a bad idea to delay their classes, and Li Qiao would not agree to them taking leave just to pick her up.
There is really no need for this.
Li Qiao was actually planning to go home alone, but Caius was free, so he came to pick her up on time.
"It's not easy to get a taxi here." He gave a particularly poor excuse that was not convincing at all, but Li Qiao didn't say anything.
On the way back, Li Qiao told him about the news, "Don't worry, he won't cause any trouble."
Caius was actually not very worried, he believed in Li Qiao's ability.
cough……
It is said that he is very good at fighting.
He just hasn't seen it yet.
While stuck in traffic, he chatted with her, "Can I ask... why did you give those two children the same name? Of course, it's okay if you don't tell me."
"It's nothing. This name belongs to both of them. I can't change a single character. There's only one name, but there are two children. To be fair, I have to let them both be called this."
"But it can be troublesome sometimes, can't it?"
"Yes, but I have no other choice."
Caius stopped talking about this topic and started jokingly: "They are very different. Are you partial to the cute little smart guy?"
"Why do you say that?" Li Qiao turned around and asked in surprise, "Could it be that... you prefer the smaller one?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Caius explained hastily, "I just want to ask, what can I do to make them... not think I'm biased?"
"Do they think you're biased?"
"No, not yet. I'm just worried and don't know what to do in this situation."
Li Qiao looked at the sweat on his forehead and looked away at the cars stuck in traffic outside the window. "It's probably hard to balance a bowl of water."
"Even if you have two kittens, you might end up with one you like better, right?"
"Actually...if all the resources and all the love were given to one child, then there wouldn't be this worry. In other words, an only child."
She chuckled, "But, I recently learned a method."
