Chapter 19019: If Xuan doesn’t come, I’ll go find him…
The little head of Zaizai suddenly drooped down, and he lay limply on the dining table, revealing his cat head. The dinner was even more exquisite than the morning meal. Apart from anything else, the sweet and spicy duck wings that were braised with such a fragrant aroma took several hours to braise until they were more flavorful. The spices needed for braised food are often the most complicated. Just a plate of sweet and spicy duck wings was cooked with dozens of spices, and even the bottom of the pot was specially made of fresh pig tail soup, full of collagen eggs.
Jing Ru put two duck wings in his bowl and said expectantly, "Pei Qi, try them and see if they suit your taste."
The rich aroma continuously penetrated into the baby's nostrils, but he had no appetite at all. The little guy shook his head and declined politely, "I have no appetite."
Jing Ruxin was anxious and said quickly, "Why do you have no appetite for no reason? You ate so well this morning!"
The cub's furry ears drooped and he said nothing.
His eyes were red, he said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.
Jing Ru hurried forward to comfort him, "Hey, Pei Qi, why are you crying for no reason? Is there something you don't like?"
Zizi raised his head and looked directly into her eyes, "Why hasn't Xuan come yet?"
The couple looked at each other, and Lin Cheng hurriedly explained, "Oh, about this, I just called and asked, and it seems that Teacher Cao asked Lu Xuan to help. He agreed but can't come. I told your Teacher Cao to come over tomorrow, don't worry!"
The next second, the tears that had accumulated in Zizi's eyes suddenly rolled down, "You liar! Ah Xuan never breaks his promise to me, unless, unless you lied to me, you didn't go to pick him up at all, you didn't go to pick him up, you lied to me..."
"I want to go home!"
The next second, Zizi jumped off the chair and ran straight outside.
Lin Cheng quickly stepped forward to stop them, saying, "How could we lie to you? Pei Qi, don't let your imagination run wild."
Zizi kept shaking his head, his eyes full of distrust, "Liar, you are all liars, you said Xuan would come, but he didn't come, you lied to me!"
Seeing this, Jing Ru quickly assured him, "Pei Qi, if you don't trust your Uncle Lin, you should at least trust Auntie, right? When has Auntie ever lied to you? Tomorrow, Ah Xuan will be here, so don't worry!"
Tears welled up in his eyes. He was out of breath and even his words trembled. "Really?"
Jing Ru quickly calmed the aggrieved child. She patiently coaxed the child back to the dinner table, "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Come on, let me give you a honey-glazed chicken drumstick. Didn't you say you liked it this morning? I had it specially made for you. Come and try it!"
"Thanks."
Zizi lowered his head, tears falling one by one, and a feeling of unease spread in his heart. Even if he was given the most delicious food, he would not be able to taste it.
That night, he was placed in a room on the second floor. The spacious room looked empty at this moment, so empty that he felt suffocated.
Jing Ru patted his back gently and asked, "Pei Qi, your teacher said you're afraid of the dark. How about this, let me sleep with you tonight? Or maybe you like your Uncle Lin so much that he can transform into a tiger and sleep with you? Didn't you guys have a lot of fun this morning? Do you want your Uncle Lin to sleep with you?"
"don't want!"
Zizi's head was shaking like a rattle. "No! I'm not used to sleeping with strangers. I won't be able to sleep like this."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cheng looked deeply hurt. He sighed and said, "Pei Qi, how could my uncle be a stranger? We had such a great time this morning, how could you say that?"
Zizi buried his head in the quilt and said, "No, I don't want it!"
"If you insist that he sleep with me, I'll sleep outside!"
Seeing that Zaizai was stubborn, Jing Ru quickly pulled her husband back. They had only been with Zaizai for too short a time and had not yet developed feelings for each other, so they should not push the child too hard.
"Then you have a good rest, we will go out first."
“Click.”
Jing Ru and her husband retreated, considerately closing the door for the child.
Zizi looked at the dark room, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Lin Cheng looked back at Zizi's room and whispered in his wife's ear, "Don't you know Pei Qi is afraid of the dark? Why did you turn off the light for the child?"
Jing Ru gave him a deep look and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you know! We turn off the lights because we know he's afraid. As long as he's afraid and terrified, he'll gradually move closer to us. When he moves closer to us, we can show him kindness. That way, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
“Pah—pah.”
Tears fell on the brand new sheets, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He is afraid of the dark.
Ah Xuan never lets him stay alone in a dark place.
He instinctively wanted to lean over to the side, hoping to get some warmth as usual. However, there was nothing beside him except a cold pillow, and the feeling of loss suddenly hit his heart.
He touched the empty space with his paws, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string. He couldn't sleep without Axuan.
He curled up in the quilt, trembling as he counted sheep.
It's okay, it will arrive soon tomorrow.
Axuan will be here soon.
“1”
“2”
“3”
Zizi looked up at the gloomy sky outside. For the first time, he was looking forward to the sun coming out.
"5079"
"5080"
"5081."
His hoarse voice was the only sound in the quiet room. He felt like he was soaked in cold lake water, making his whole body cold.
Axuan, why don’t you come?
Why not come?
If Axuan doesn't come, can he go back to find Axuan?
Once this chaotic thought emerged, it grew wildly in his heart like weeds.
When he returned to the orphanage, he saw Axuan!
Zizi's tears stopped abruptly, and he imitated Axuan's usual behavior, groping for the night light on the bedside table with his paws.
“Pah.”
The orange night light lit up, bringing a little light to the dark room.
Zizi's eyes lit up, it was a success!
The lights are on!
He found a rope in the room and tied the night light to his waist. He put his ear to the door, and after making sure that there was no sound of movement outside, he tiptoed, turned the door handle, and quietly poked his head out. Unlike the pitch-black room, there was an orange light outside. He looked around, and after making sure that there was no one outside, he jumped down from the second floor. Before leaving, he did not forget to pack a honey-glazed chicken leg in plastic wrap and wrapped the plastic wrap tightly around the rope.
#Thieves never leave empty-handed, let’s find out! #
#The honey chicken drumstick is so delicious! He wants to take one back for Axuan to try#
The door of the house had been closed for a long time, but the window was open.
Zizi decisively pushed a small stool over, stepped on it and jumped out of the window. He ran out until he saw the big iron gate that he had come from. The iron gate was an electric door and could not be climbed.
Then, then, then how should he get out?
