Just as Qin Yun had thought before, Shuo Shuo was a very sensitive child. Even if the adults didn't say anything, he understood everything he should understand.
He knew that the people today didn't like him very much because he followed his aunt and brought trouble to her.
So, he wanted to follow this great aunt.
Ning Xi stopped the car, looked back at him with his head down, and her heart immediately tightened.
She got out of the car and came to the back, holding Shuo Shuo in her arms and said, "Baby, I know what you are thinking, but can you answer two questions from your aunt first?"
Shuo Shuo looked at her and nodded, "Okay."
"Do you think your uncle likes you?"
"Yeah." Shuo Shuo nodded without hesitation.
"What about Aunt Yun and Great Grandpa? Do they like you?" Ning Xi asked again.
Shuo Shuo nodded without hesitation again.
Ning Xi laughed, touched his little head and said, "Baby, they are your uncle's most important family members, but they all like you very much, so this is enough.
We can’t be liked by everyone, but we can distinguish what is important and what is unimportant. As long as the most important people like you, then the rest will not matter.
Ning Xi looked at him seriously and said, "Auntie, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Shuo Shuo tilted his head slightly and nodded as if he understood. "So, those people today are not important?"
"At least to me, your aunt, it's not important. So, I don't care what they think of me. As long as the person I care about likes me, that's enough." Ning Xi said.
"Is that person your uncle? Your uncle likes you very much, right?" Shuo Shuo suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and rubbed her forehead against his, saying, "You clever little thing, who told you that?"
"Aunt Yun, she said that Uncle loves you very much! She also said that Uncle is like an old iron tree that blooms. Aunt, Uncle is not old. And why did Aunt Yun say that he is iron, but can still bloom?"
Shuo Shuo asked.
Ning Xi: “…”
This is really my sister!
Facing Shuo Shuo's doubtful eyes, Ning Xi cleared her throat and said, "Baby, the iron tree is a plant, not ordinary iron.
So it can bloom, but it's very difficult for it to bloom, and it usually takes a very long time."
After Ning Xi finished speaking, she wasn't sure whether Shuo Shuo understood.
Shuo Shuo continued to tilt his head and look at her. After a while, he said, "So, your uncle waited for a very long time, and finally met you, and fell in love with you, right?"
“…”
Oh, what a logical and romantic answer!
Although Qin Yan wasn't around, Ning Xi couldn't help but blush a little. She shifted her gaze and said, "Probably...right?"
"Hehe, that must be the case." Shuo Shuo laughed
Ning Xi: “…”
It’s over, my face is even redder!
(????)
"Ahem, okay, Shuoshuo, do you understand now? We don't need to worry too much about those unimportant things. Besides, I can't bear to be separated from you. I will always be with you until you grow up."
Shuo Shuo nodded, "Me too, Auntie. I will always be with you."
"good."
"But aunt, I still want to go see my great aunt. I haven't seen her for a long time." Shuo Shuo said.
Except for Great Aunt, who can be a little scary sometimes, Shuo Shuo still likes her.
Hearing him say this, Ning Xi's eyes darkened. She patted his head and said, "Shuo Shuo, we may not be able to visit our aunt so often in the future."
"Why?"
"She's feeling a little unwell. If we go there too often, it will disturb her recovery." Ning Xi couldn't tell him the real reason, so she could only say this.
"Oh, okay then." Hearing this, Shuo Shuo was obviously disappointed, but he didn't mention going to see Ning Lan again.
Ning Xi said a few more words to him before helping him fasten his seat belt and driving again.
At this moment, Ning Lan, who was at home, finally couldn't wait any longer and quickly left the house. She didn't even have time to close the door and hurried downstairs.
After getting downstairs, she did not take the main road to leave the community, but went around to the remote back door and left from there.
Then after several twists and turns, she finally arrived at an area that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
Because there was a fire a while ago that killed people, this area has been very quiet recently.
Ning Lan stood at the gate of the Zhao family's old house, looking at the dark house inside with a somewhat ugly expression.
Finally, after making sure that there was no one around, she pushed the door open and walked in.
The burned house looked like a haunted house in the dark night, with a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
Because of this, the neighbors on both sides were scared and moved away temporarily, making this place completely dark.
That is, the most suitable hiding spot.
"Linlin?" Ning Lan went around to the backyard of the Zhao family's old house. Because it was an old house, there were two storage rooms in the backyard where miscellaneous items were stored.
Not only was it not affected by the fire before, but it can now also shelter from wind and rain.
Ning Lan called out twice, and soon the door of a utility room was opened.
Zhao Kailin was wearing a black suit and a big baseball cap, standing behind the door.
Seeing her, Ning Lan was immediately delighted. She rushed over and hugged her, saying, "Linlin, are you okay?"
As she spoke, Ning Lan began to examine her by touching and pinching her.
Zhao Kailin was a little impatient and pushed her hand away, saying, "Didn't you say we had to wait a few days? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
Zhao Kailin has been hiding here for several days. Because of the fire, no one dared to approach her, and the police would never have thought that she would come back and hide here.
She had originally planned to wait until Ning Lan had made all the arrangements before leaving, but she didn't know what had gone wrong with her mother today. She insisted on asking for her hiding place and then coming over.
If it weren't for the money in her hand, she wouldn't tell her.
However, she had also made up her mind that since she was already here, she should let her take out the money so that she wouldn't leave with a burden.
And if she dares not give...
Zhao Kailin narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
But Ning Lan didn't notice that. When she heard her ask this, her face turned a little ugly, and she thought of the things Ning Xi asked her today.
She pulled the corner of her mouth slightly stiffly, "Nothing, it's just that things suddenly changed. I can't stay there anymore, so I have to come to find you."
"What changes? Mom, you won't mess it up, will you?" Zhao Kailin's heart suddenly rose, and her hand subconsciously touched her lower back.
"No, I've already made the arrangements. Just pack up and follow me. We'll go to Province S by water, then go south to the border of Province Y and leave the country from there." Ning Lan said.
Hearing this, Zhao Kailin felt relieved instantly.
