Chapter 142 It’s Not Because You’re Cute
Xiao Taozhi first wiped the blood off Fu Zhiyi's arm with a tissue, and then applied medicine to him.
The little fellow frowned, applied a little and blew gently, not forgetting to lift his eyelashes and ask Fu Zhiyi: "Does it hurt?"
Fu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
Then, for some unknown reason, he shook his head.
He had clearly made up his mind to ignore this coward, but looking at her clear and pure deer eyes, he just couldn't bear to do it.
Gradually, Fu Zhiyi's attention was attracted by Xiao Taozhi.
He looked at her serious profile——
There was a little mud on her porcelain-white skin, her cheeks were a healthy red, and her long raven-feather eyelashes cast a light gray shadow under her eyes. She looked like a porcelain doll displayed at home, cute and lively.
Fu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
Little Taozhi put a band-aid on the wound, then clapped his hands in triumph, "Alright!"
But when she raised her eyes, she met Fu Zhiyi's overly direct gaze.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Little Taozhi waved her hands in confusion. "Is there something dirty on Zhizhi's face? Why are you staring at me?"
Fu Zhiyi's face turned pale and he looked away hurriedly, trying to explain himself, but he could only make a few whimpering sounds.
Xiao Taozhi put the remaining medicine and band-aids back into her bag and said, "After I tear off the tape on your mouth, you can't scream."
Fu Zhiyi nodded.
Xiao Taozhi slowly tore off the tape.
Fu Zhiyi immediately emphasized, "I was staring at you because I was afraid you'd poison my wound, not because you're too cute! Don't let your imagination run wild!"
"oh."
Xiao Taozhi nodded in belief.
She didn't see that Fu Zhiyi's originally fair ears had turned completely red!
Sudden.
“Gurgle——”
Little Taozhi raised her head, rolled her eyes, and asked, "What's that sound?"
Fu Zhiyi's face flushed. "Where was that sound? I didn't hear anything. You must have heard it wrong!"
Immediately following.
Another "gurgle" sound came from Fu Zhiyi's side, louder than the previous one.
Xiao Taozhi stared at Fu Zhiyi's stomach and asked bluntly, "Brother, are you hungry? I have some nutrient solution here, would you like some?"
Fu Zhiyi's face instantly turned red as pig liver, but he still stubbornly said, "I'm not hungry! Take that packet of nutrient solution away! I'm telling you, even if I starve to death here, I will never eat the food that trafficker gave me!"
Next second.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"
The sound of Fu Zhiyi's stomach growling echoed throughout the small dark room.
Looking at Fu Zhiyi's belly, Xiao Taozhi said: ...
Fu Zhiyi looked at Xiao Taozhi: ...
Damn it!
Why is it that you are so disappointing at this very moment!
Fu Zhiyi glared at her stomach angrily.
Unexpectedly, my stomach growled even louder.
Fu Zhiyi: ...
Xiao Taozhi took the nutrient solution from the corner and said, "Brother, why don't you eat some? There's a saying that goes, 'Man is iron and rice is steel. If you have rice but don't eat it, you're a fool!' The rice didn't kidnap you, so why are you so angry with it?"
Fu Zhiyi was silent for a moment.
What Xiao Taozhi said made so much sense that Fu Zhiyi was speechless to refute.
Xiao Taozhi opened the lid of the nutrient solution and placed it close to Fu Zhiyi's mouth. "Don't you want to escape? How can you have the energy to escape if you're not full?"
This soft sentence completely broke Fu Zhiyi's last line of defense.
He pursed his dry lips, then tilted his head closer to the bag of nutrient solution.
Fu Zhiyi was so hungry that he drank the entire bag of nutrient solution in a short while.
Fu Zhiyi licked his lips and said in an unnatural tone, "Thank you."
"You're welcome~"
Little Taozhi's eyelashes curved as she gave Fu Zhiyi a sweet smile.
Fu Zhiyi's heart moved, and he asked, "I just said that to you...you...you're not angry?"
"Of course Zhizhi was angry at the beginning!"
Xiao Taozhi said honestly, "But I think my brother must have been kidnapped here by some bad guys, and he must be in a bad mood, so he said that."
Because the little guy was also kidnapped, she could understand Fu Zhiyi's feelings.
Grandpa Willow said that when encountering difficulties, getting angry is the most useless method. You must calm down and find ways to solve the problems.
Fu Zhiyi was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect that when it comes to understanding others, he is not even as good as a four-year-old child!
I suddenly felt a little ashamed.
However, after learning that he had been kidnapped, he was really emotionally devastated. He was completely confused and his mind was blank.
After his hands and feet were helped, he realized that the Taekwondo and fighting skills he had learned were completely useless!
After eleven years of smooth sailing under the protection of his father and with a silver spoon in his mouth, this was the first time that Fu Zhiyi had encountered such a thing!
His good upbringing even prevented him from saying anything vulgar to curse those shameful human traffickers.
But the upright and unyielding gene in his body would not allow him to bow to that group of people!
"I'm sorry, what I said at first was a bit impulsive." Realizing his mistake, Fu Zhiyi immediately apologized to Xiao Taozhi.
The little guy waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay! Let's get to know each other again. My name is Tao Zhi, what's yours?"
"My name is Fu Zhiyi."
Fu Zhiyi...
Xiao Taozhi recited it silently in her heart and memorized it.
"Brother Zhiyi, how did you get caught by those bad guys?"
Fu Zhiyi thought for a moment before saying, "I've been learning skateboarding recently. I joined a skateboarding club online. The club held a competition, and I wanted to go and watch it. But as soon as I stepped into the house they listed, I was knocked unconscious!
When I woke up again, I was locked in a small dark room. The ugly human traffickers forced me to surrender to them. When I refused, they beat me with all kinds of sharp weapons.
Then I was dragged here.
And you?"
"I had a fight with my dad and wanted to go to the hospital to see my uncle. When I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, some bad guys tied me up and put me on the bus."
After answering, Xiao Taozhi suddenly felt a little regretful. She felt that she shouldn't have run away from home so impulsively.
After knowing that she is missing, will Mr. Xiao be a little worried about her?
As soon as this idea popped up in Tao Zhi's little head, she quickly suppressed it.
She shook her little head.
Father Xiao doesn't even have time to hate her, so how could he worry about her?
After this little troublemaker of hers left, Father Xiao must be very happy...
Although she had clearly made up her mind not to care about Xiao Yucheng, Taozhi's heart couldn't help but ache when she thought of what Xiao Yucheng said that day.
After all, that's her father...
How could the blood-thicker-than-water kinship be erased so easily?
Little Taozhi sat down next to Fu Zhiyi, staring at Fu Zhiyi's hands with her bright eyes without blinking.
