He thought she would obediently give him the doll, but he didn't expect her expression to change. She hugged the doll tightly in her arms, and her red eyes became even darker. She changed from her previous obedient appearance, looked at him warily, and didn't eat the noodles anymore.
Chi Yanhuai's outstretched hand paused in the gap between them. He lowered his eyes, as if a thought was surging. He calmly withdrew his hand and whispered soothingly, "Then don't let it go. Just hold it and eat it."
Hearing this, Tang Anan's tense body relaxed. She glanced at him cautiously twice, and when she saw that he looked normal, she felt relieved and continued to eat noodles.
He seemed to be lost in thought, and asked casually, "Is the doll a gift from your parents?" Even if you like a doll very much, this shouldn't be your reaction when you take it away.
It was as if they were going to take away everything she had left. The vigilance and alertness that arose from the bottom of her heart were mixed with panic and fear.
She had been behaving normally from the moment we met until now, but she acted out of character when it came to this doll incident.
Tang Anan paused, her eyes shifted to the doll, and she seemed lost in thought. The scene was heavy for a moment, and after a while, a choked and helpless voice rang out in the empty living room.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow and sadness, and she said slowly, "Doll, the doll was given to me by my mother."
Tang Anan stared at it absentmindedly, tears welling up in her eyes. In a blink, the tears slid down her fair cheeks, dripping onto the back of Chi Yanhuai's hand, and also striking a blow in his heart.
Chi Yanhuai quickly wiped the tears from her face, patted her back, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, brother won't ask anymore."
I think the child is already very sad about being separated from her family, there is no need to rub salt into her wounds.
Tang Anan looked up at him, dark thoughts surging in her eyes. "I saw the monster penetrate my mother's body. She told me to run, run, and keep running..."
As she spoke, she sobbed softly, "Dad turned into a monster too. He pounced on Mom."
She hugged the baby in her arms tightly again, and her childish voice was filled with endless sadness, "Three days ago, it was An An's birthday. But on that day, grandpa and grandma fell ill, and later, dad also fell ill."
"My mom told me to run, but I wanted to go with her. But she pushed me away and the monster behind her grabbed her."
Tang Anan looked around and said, "Mom said the villa area is very safe and asked me to run here."
She lowered her head to look at the doll and said in a deep voice: "Mom told me to live, and the doll is all I have. This is my birthday present, and also from Mom and Dad." She suddenly looked up at Chi Yanhuai with a serious expression: "It's mine, and no one else can give it to me."
Chi Yanhuai's heart trembled, and he looked at the stubborn little girl in front of him with complicated eyes. He stroked her hair with pity and comforted her, "Okay, I won't give it to anyone. From now on, brother can be your family, if you don't mind."
[Congratulations to the host for successfully deceiving another savior] 007 suddenly appeared and interrupted Tang Anan's brewing emotions.
Tang Anan remained silent and did not answer the system's question. Instead, she stared at Chi Yanhuai closely and said softly, "Can I trust you, brother?"
"Of course." Chi Yanhuai answered readily. He pinched her little face with heartache in his eyes. "From the moment I took you down from the tree, I didn't intend to abandon you so easily."
Although he was soft-hearted at the moment, he never regretted it.
Tang Anan smiled happily, and threw herself and the baby into his arms, her voice full of joy, "I believe you, brother." But suddenly the topic changed, and she looked up at him in his arms and asked, "Why is there no one at my brother's house?"
