I suppressed the smile that was rising in my heart. After exchanging a glance with Jack, I put away the bone stick in my hand, then suddenly reached out and put my hand on her shoulder and asked, "Hello?"
"Ah--" Unexpectedly, the little girl screamed suddenly, her body shaking even more. She struggled desperately to get her shoulder out from under my palm, her voice almost sounding like crying.
My heart ached, and my voice softened unconsciously: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!"
"No...it hurts, let me go..." But the little girl was extremely uncooperative and kept twisting her body.
Seeing that she was about to struggle out, I became anxious and simply picked her up and held her in my arms, not giving her a chance to struggle. I looked at her and comforted her, "We are really not bad people, don't be afraid!"
Unexpectedly, the little girl was still shivering in my arms. No matter how I comforted her, it was useless. Her face was almost wrinkled like a bun, which made me feel powerless.
I doubted my appearance for the first time in my life. Is it that scary?
Since we can't communicate, I can only hold her and let her feel it slowly. Once she is sure that there is no danger, she should not be afraid anymore.
Sure enough, not long after, the little girl seemed to realize that there was really no danger and quietly opened one eye.
When she accidentally met my smiling eyes, she was so scared that she closed her eyes, and then opened them again after a while. After repeating this several times, she was sure that I really had no ill intentions towards her.
So he was no longer afraid, and looked at me bravely. Then the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and suddenly he opened his mouth and called out to me in a crisp voice: "Daddy..."
puff!
I stared at the little girl in my arms in shock, thinking there was something wrong with my ears. How could this girl randomly claim to be her father?
"I'm not your daddy!" I looked at Jack and Qin Lan trying to hold back their laughter, a line of black lines crossed my forehead, and I said with a cold face.
Unexpectedly, the little girl in his arms frowned when he heard this, and called out in disapproval, "Daddy!"
My heart trembled when I heard that. I held my forehead speechlessly, looked at her coldly and corrected her: "I'll say it again, I'm not your daddy, I just came here to find something."
"Daddy~" Seeing that I refused again, the little girl's eyes suddenly turned red and she cried out aggrievedly.
When I saw her eyes were red again, I didn't know why my heart tightened and hurt a little. I wanted to correct her, but I found that I really couldn't do it. I had to compromise and said, "Okay, okay, daddy is daddy!"
"Daddy!" The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she came up to me with a smile and kissed me on the lips, then she shrank back into my arms and rolled around coquettishly.
At this moment, I inexplicably felt like a "nanny".
Rubbing her head helplessly, I couldn't help but sigh softly and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The little girl bit her fingers and shook her head blankly, indicating that she didn't know.
I thought it might be because it had been so long that she didn't remember it herself, so I asked again, "Do you remember why you are here?"
The little girl frowned and thought for a long time, then raised her finger and pointed at my nose, and then she stopped talking.
I?
I widened my eyes in surprise. Is her being here related to me?
He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, searching carefully for the children he had seen in his memory, but there was no such soft and cute little girl?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hug her soft little body again and found that her body was burning hot, but looking at her spirit, she didn't look like she was sick.
Thinking of how she had just curled up on the ground and trembled with fear, I asked again, "Why were you so scared just now?"
This time, the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, like a child complaining to an adult. She raised her hand and pointed at Qin Lan who was not far away, pouting and saying, "Ghost..."
I was stunned, watching Qin Lan's face instantly turn pale. I suppressed the laughter in my throat, knocked her head, and warned her, "Don't say that to your sister, she's not a ghost."
"Ghost!" Unexpectedly, the little girl became more aggressive and repeated it firmly. Then, looking at me aggrievedly, she added, "Call..."
Ghost? Scream?
Does she mean that she was scared by Qin Lan's scream just now, which is why she was so scared?
It was clearly her who scared others, but she turned the blame around!
I was happily chatting with the little girl, but when I turned around, I found Jack staring at her with a serious expression. I felt a little unhappy for some reason, but I also knew that the appearance of this little girl here was very strange no matter how I thought about it.
But looking at the little girl's confused eyes, he knew he couldn't ask anything.
Although I know there is something fishy going on, this little girl is really likable. Her babyish voice and cute look are so adorable that it touches my heart.
"Although I don't know why she appears here, I don't sense any malice from her. Besides, she is still a child. Why don't we take her with us?" After thinking about it, I expressed my thoughts.
"No! There are dangers everywhere here. If we bring such an unidentified object up there, it will become a burden to us!" Qin Lan frowned and disagreed.
"She's just a child!" I retorted, hugging the little girl tighter.
"That's even worse!" Qin Lan's attitude was very tough.
"I...bad guy, shut up!" I was about to retort, but unexpectedly the little girl in my arms got angry instead, yelling at Qin Lan in a baby voice, then with red eyes, she tugged at the corner of my clothes and begged: "I won't send you away..."
"Okay, I won't send you off!" My heart softened and I couldn't help but rub her furry head.
"Yeah," the little girl nodded in a baby voice.
I turned to look at Jack, but saw that he had already moved his gaze away from the little girl and was looking towards the sixth floor.
Seeing that everyone had already wasted quite a bit of time, I stood up first and suggested, "Let's go up."
You can't avoid what you have to face.
"No... You can't go up!" As soon as I finished speaking, a small hand grabbed my sleeve. I subconsciously lowered my head and saw her looking at me anxiously, trying to stop me: "No!"
I frowned, then realized she might know something, so I asked, "Why can't we go up?"
"It's hot... there's a fire..." The little girl frowned, fear in her eyes.
Heat? Fire?
I pursed my lips in confusion and looked up at the sixth floor. Sure enough, I saw a faint glow of fire inside. A trace of vigilance rose in my heart, but I still had to comfort the little girl in my arms: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. No one can hurt you. I have to go up. If you are afraid, just stay here and wait for me, okay?"
I thought that since this little girl had stayed here for such a long time, it proved that there was no danger for her here.
