After finishing his own business, he went in immediately. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted the vines, he saw a pair of dark eyes that were as bright as stars. He was slightly stunned, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Uncle?"
When Li Zhenghao and Li Dongmei returned, they discovered Bai Xiaoxi wasn't there. A flicker of worry crossed their minds. They lifted the vines and looked outside, realizing he was coming from the exact spot where he'd been talking to his mother. Afraid he'd overheard what they'd said, they waited for him at the door.
It can be seen that this kid's expression is natural, with a smile in his eyes, very clear, and even a hint of doubt. Despite this, Li Zhenghao knows that this kid is used to acting. In addition, he treats him as his nephew, so he didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Where did you go just now?"
"Go to the bathroom!" Bai Xiaoxi said, picking up the thin blanket and yawning as she prepared to lie down. But she noticed a flicker in Li Zhenghao's eyes. Her doubts deepened, so she asked, "Uncle just saw you and grandma. What did you talk about?"
Hearing him say this, and there really was no hidden meaning in his clear eyes, I knew that not all of his conversation with his mother had fallen into the child's ears, otherwise how could it be so quiet?
"Nothing." Li Zhenghao's eyes flashed with worry, "I'm worried that your grandma will be bullied when she goes to the Yanjing City base."
It was normal for a son to have such concerns. Bai Xiaoxi understood. Could they be the powerful people in the Yanjing City base? It was very likely. He simply comforted her, "Don't worry, uncle. Since I have made all the plans, Zhao Hu will definitely not let his men mistreat Grandma. Besides, if anything really happened, I am a soldier after all. How can I not embarrass an elderly person?"
Li Zhenghao seemed relieved, but his starry eyes narrowed. He whispered, "Yeah, how can you have the nerve to embarrass an old man?"
The tent was originally divided into two sides. One side was where the men, including Li Jiaming, slept, and the other side was where the women, including Bai Shan, slept.
Just after Li Zhenghao lay down, Bai Ling, who was sleeping at the door like Bai Xiaoxi, suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes. Her eyes shone with a glaze-like brilliance. How could she just wake up? It was obvious that she had been awake for a long time.
Gradually, the pair of eyes that flashed with colorful thoughts slowly sank, turning into the dark abyss, getting deeper and deeper, and then the delicate brows frowned. She didn't understand, what could grandma say to her uncle, even turning her back on them?
At first, Bai Ling thought it might be about going to annihilate the zombies, and her grandmother must have asked her uncle to look after them. However, when they came back and her uncle saw that Bai Xiaoxi was not there, he looked as if he was facing a great enemy, with worry and anxiety in his eyes. After Bai Xiaoxi came back, he asked him tentatively.
If they wanted to annihilate the zombies and let their uncle watch over them, there would be no need to do so if Bai Xiaoxi heard about it, right?
It seemed like they must be hiding something from her, and they couldn't let her and Shanshan know.
As she thought about it, Bai Ling sighed. After all, grandma and uncle hid it from them probably to prevent them from worrying. But no matter what it was, they would know sooner or later!
After all, they were their loving grandma and uncle. Since the two of them didn't want them to know, they simply decided not to explore it, so as not to embarrass their uncle and grandma.
