When little Hu Qi saw the little black dragon doll, his eyes lit up. He looked up at the man's expression, and after getting his consent, he carefully reached out his hand: "Thank you, auntie."
Lu Yao happily pushed Lu Hujiao, who was stuck to his leg, forward and introduced: "This is my little friend, his name is Lu Hujiao, and he is six years old this year."
Hujiao was slightly taller than Hu Qi, and probably had not yet adapted to his new identity. He stood stiffly and did not know how to talk.
Hu Qi blinked his big, moist eyes twice, and softly called: "Hello, brother."
He was also six years old this year, but he had not celebrated his birthday yet, so he called him brother unconsciously.
Lu Yao and Hujiao did not stay at Hu Qi's house for too long. After giving the gifts, they exchanged a few polite words with the man and left.
From beginning to end, the hostess did not show up.
Lu Yao did not ask much.
After leaving Hu Qi's house, Jiao Jiao was obviously in a bad mood.
Lu Yao asked him to go home first, and he distributed the remaining boxes of snacks to other neighbors one by one.
Room 305.
Hu Qi's mother stood by the window with her hair disheveled, eavesdropping on the movements outside the door, and occasionally glanced at Hu Qi standing in the corner. Hu Qi
was holding the little black dragon doll he had just received in his hand, pursing his lips in secret joy, and did not notice his mother's eyes.
Hearing the door of Room 306 open and close, Hu Qi's mother frowned and turned around, snatched the doll from Hu Qi's hand, and said sternly: "What are you playing with? Go practice the piano!"
After that, she threw the doll into the trash can.
Hu Qi could not disobey his mother, and returned to the piano room in silence.
But the piano music stopped shortly after it started.
Room 306.
Hu Jiao sat on the sofa near the window in the living room, with heavy eyes. "When I was a child, I always obeyed a woman's words. I thought it was because I loved her. When I grew up, I found out that her ability was activated through language, and people with lower ability values can only passively accept orders."
Lu Yao was tidying up his clothes and stopped when he heard it: "Word spirit?"
Jiao Hua: "That's about it."
Lu Yao: "Since she has this ability, she should be able to resist your father, right?"
Jiao Hua's young face showed a sneer that was inconsistent with her age: "Although her ability is worth exploring, she herself is not very interested in superpowers. Most of her time is spent on dressing up and competing with others. Except for me when I was a child, her ability can't control anyone."
Seeing that Jiao Hua's face was getting darker and darker, Lu Yao secretly considered whether to block part of his memory, which would be more conducive to promoting tutoring. Progress, thought for a while and gave up, walked over and held up Huo Jiao's face, whispered: "If you immerse yourself in the past, it's easy to be swallowed up. We traveled back here from the future, not to experience pain again, right?"
Huo Jiao came back to his senses and met the shopkeeper's serious and gentle eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then reacted, suddenly raised his hands to break away, and shrank to the corner: "Just talk. , you - you -"
Lu Yao said calmly: "I am your mother now, please get used to it as soon as possible. You will go to school tomorrow. I think your social skills are not as good as the little Hu Qi next door. You should think about your actions tomorrow. Don't be alone and unable to make friends. "
Huo Jiao: "I..."
After a busy day of moving, visiting neighbors, and packing luggage, Lu Yao simply cooked two bowls of noodles in the evening.
The simplest soy sauce noodles, with a few crispy and tender vegetables on the noodles, and a fried egg in the middle.
Huo Jiao took a bite and was surprised. After a while, he said in a neither salty nor bland tone: "It tastes okay."
Lu Yao didn't argue with the child: "Be good."
Huo Jiao: "..."
After dinner, Huo Jiao started to pack her schoolbag.
He took a pen and solemnly wrote his name on the notebook, then turned around and asked Lu Yao: "Why do I have to have the last name Lu? We are a single-parent family?" Lu
Yao, who was folding clothes, paused and inexplicably felt that he seemed to have experienced a similar situation before.
——"I don't want the surname 'Lu'. I don't want the same surname as you."
——"Then what surname do you like? Choose it yourself."
The sound of flipping pages rang in his ears. After a while, a clear boy's voice said, "I want this 'Lu'. Lu... Xiao and Lu Yao, both similar and different."
Lu Yao seemed to smile: "Childish."
...
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Jiao jumped off the chair at some point, came in front of Lu Yao, looked up at her, "You're smiling strangely."
Lu Yao was startled, raised his hand and gently stroked his forehead, and said casually, "Nothing, pack your schoolbag and go play by yourself, and don't disturb your mother doing housework."
Huo Jiao: "..."
Tianjing City, Qianmen Mountain.
The child stood under the eaves of the icy house, looking far away at the mountain top, muttering to himself: "Hasn't the first snow come yet?"
Qianmen Mountain is covered with snow all year round, but the child stubbornly waits for the first snow after the beginning of winter.
He always said that when the first snow falls, it is time to go down the mountain.
Ji Feichen stood by, "I don't know how many heavy snows have fallen on the mountain at this time of year in previous years. I don't know why the first snow this year is so late."
The child looked up at the sky, his eyelashes carved out of ice and snow fluttered gently, and a few strands of joy jumped out of his blood-red pupils: "It should be soon."
The sky on the mountain is usually gray, and Ji Feichen really can't see any difference from the past.
Orange City, Kumquat Community.
Hu Qi had dinner alone, washed himself, put on his pajamas, and climbed into bed to rest. He was still thinking about the little dragon doll that his mother had thrown away.
He was delighted when he saw the doll for the first time, and wanted to pick it up, but was afraid of being discovered by his mother.
Hu Qi was crawling onto the bed when he found a bulge in the middle of the bed. He thought it was the pillow that was pressed down, but when he lifted the quilt, he was surprised to find that the little black dragon that his mother had thrown away was actually lying on the bed with its tail coiled.
Alfred was discovered, so he simply got up and greeted, "Hello, my name is Alfred."
Hu Qi was not scared, and climbed onto the bed with all his strength. He carefully reached out and poked Alfred's protruding belly, his eyes shining, "It really is a dragon, why did you come to my house?"
Alfred's short and thick claws struggled to wrap around his chest, "Have you forgotten? Aunt Lu from next door gave me to you today."
Hu Qi was surprised: "You are a dragon doll?"
Alfred nodded seriously: "But this is a secret, and adults cannot know. You have to keep it a secret for me."
Hu Qi nodded vigorously, with joy in his eyes: "Are you going to live here?"
Alfred took two steps forward and patted Hu Qi's knee: "Yes. I will be your partner in the future. You can tell me if you have any problems."
This night, the little Hu Qi, who had nothing, got the most precious gift in his life, a treasure that belonged to him alone.
He has a secret friend named Alfred.
In the morning, Hu Qi was worried about leaving Alfred, a dragon, at home, so he secretly hid him in his schoolbag.
The man went out to work early in the morning, and the woman got up early and spent more than an hour putting on makeup, without asking him if he had packed his stationery.
When they were leaving, they met Lu Yao and Jiao who were also going out.
The two families greeted each other politely and chatted as they took the elevator downstairs.
Knowing that Hu Qi and his mother were also going to Jinju Primary School, Lu Yao offered to give them a ride.
The woman stared at Lu Yao's new car, smiled reluctantly, and got in after a few refusals.
The woman sat in the passenger seat, while Jiao Jiao and Hu Qi sat in the back.
On the way to school, the woman kept observing the interior of the car and quietly asked about Lu Yao's work.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I'm a teacher at Jinju Primary School?"
Hu Jiao, who was racking his brains to talk to his younger self, said, "???"
The woman's face also changed, and she became a little restless: "...So you are a teacher."
Teacher Lu was very easy-going: "Don't be too nervous, I'm actually a physical education teacher."
Arriving at Jinju Primary School, the woman hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Yao and his mother, and left quickly with Hu Qi.
Unfortunately, she and Hu Qi just found the classroom when they saw Lu Yao and Hu Jiao walking in.
Lu Yao greeted them in surprise: "Hu Qi's mother, it seems that we are really destined to be together. Hu Jiao and Hu Qi will be classmates from now on."
"..." Hu Qi's mother smiled and nodded.
When the child arrives in the classroom, there is basically nothing for parents to do.
But before leaving, Lu Yao forcefully arranged for Hu Qi and Hu Jiao to sit at the same table.
Hu Jiao hadn't figured out how to talk to Hu Qi.
Even though his body had become smaller and his identity had changed, he couldn't face his younger self calmly.
Hu Qi pulled his sleeve under the table and said softly, "Brother Hu Jiao, do you want to take a look at my little dragon?"
