Chapter 10 "I will always be with you."
I clicked on Xia Ruoxin's message. At first she said that she went home because of the rain. When the rain stopped, she asked her if there was anything wrong in the store. She sent another message saying that her parents had suddenly signed her up for a tour group without her knowledge and wanted to take her with them. Xia Ruoxin wanted to discuss it with Qi Ying but she couldn't get through the phone.
Finally, the little rich woman said: "I have booked my flight tickets, so I will go there to play for two days. I will leave the store matters to you these days. I will bring you some local specialties when I come back!"
Qi Ying breathed a sigh of relief and replied to Xia Ruoxin: [Just go out and have fun, don’t worry about the store. ]
She originally wanted to take the opportunity to go back, but just as she was about to find a room to go downstairs, she heard Xing Xiaochu calling her outside the door, saying that dinner was ready.
Qi Ying walked out of the room with her hands and feet weak, holding onto the wall. As soon as Xing Xiaochu saw her, he came over to support her and said worriedly, "If you don't feel well, I'll bring food to you. Don't force yourself."
"It's okay, I feel much better." Qi Ying was still a little unsteady when walking, but she was very happy to be supported by Xing Xiaochu. The child was sweet and soft, very cute.
Breakfast was dumplings. Qi Ying took a bite and realized that they were handmade. She asked Xing Xiaochu, who was sitting opposite her, in confusion, "Did you go downstairs?"
"Yeah." Xing Xiaochu nodded and said, "After you fainted yesterday, I went downstairs to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and I bought dumplings by the way."
Xing Xiaochu was afraid that Qi Ying would worry that these dumplings were leftovers from yesterday, so she quickly explained, "I told them not to cook them. What they brought back were raw dumplings. I just cooked them. They were not leftovers from yesterday and were left for you."
Seeing the nervous look on the child's face, Qi Ying couldn't help but laugh and said, "It doesn't matter if it's leftovers. It's not like we can't eat it."
Besides, Qi Ying was indeed hungry. Normally, she cooked for herself and only ate two meals at a time, so it was normal for her to eat leftovers.
Seeing Qi Ying quickly finish the dumplings, Xing Xiaochu ran to serve her a bowl of dumpling soup. Qi Ying drank it all and felt much better.
"You have to take the medicine half an hour after a meal." Xing Xiaochu said to her while cleaning up the dishes, "I'll remind you later."
"Okay." Qi Ying smiled as she watched her busy back, and felt that it was really good to have someone taking care of her.
After dinner, Qi Ying went to the floor-to-ceiling window to bask in the sun. The pheromone pressure was indeed useful, but the side effects were worse than she had imagined. It seemed that it would be better not to use such unfamiliar things indiscriminately in the future.
After sunbathing for a while, I saw Xing Xiaochu coming over with warm water and medicine.
Qi Ying took the medicine and lay back down. She was thinking about finding an excuse to go home and at least close the shop.
"elder sister."
Only when Xiaochu spoke did Qi Ying realize that the child was still beside him and seemed to have something to say to him.
"What's wrong?" Qi Ying asked her, "Is there something wrong?"
Xing Xiaochu pursed her lips, nervously pinched the corner of her clothes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
ah!
Qi Ying understood, and quickly picked up the phone and said to her: "Sorry, you are out of money, right? I will transfer the money I just paid to you, and give you some extra pocket money."
Xing Xiaochu quickly stopped her, her face flushed red: "I don't want your money. You took me in to live here, but I haven't given you any money yet. How can I ask you to give me... I, I want to ask you, this..."
Xing Xiaochu ran to the door, took a document from the shoe cabinet and walked over. Qi Ying looked closely and realized that it was the document he gave to Xing Xiaochu's father.
It is the power of attorney from Xing Xiaochu's mother entrusting herself to be her guardian.
Qi Ying got this power of attorney directly from the system. She had no idea whether it had any legal effect or not. Anyway, she thought there would be no problem with the things in the system. Besides, Qi Ying knew that Xing Xiaochu's father would definitely not agree. Qi Ying had always planned to use courtesy before force.
But now, Xing Xiaochu came to him with the document, making Qi Ying feel a little guilty.
"This..." Qi Ying explained: "This is the power of attorney your mother gave me before, asking me to take care of you."
Xing Xiaochu opened his eyes slightly, and when he looked at the power of attorney in his hand, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Qi Ying was startled and quickly stood up to comfort her.
"Why are you crying suddenly?" Qi Ying rubbed the child's red eyes, watching her tears fall down, her heart was like being torn, and she said to her softly: "Don't cry, no one will bully you anymore, I will always be by your side."
Xing Xiaochu looked up at her. She didn't know how long the "always" that Qi Ying mentioned would be. She used to think that her mother would always be with her, but her mother passed away, and there would be no one to accompany her anymore.
Now, Qi Ying said that she would always stay with her, but Xing Xiaochu was worried that she would leave too.
Like mom.
"elder sister……"
Xing Xiaochu threw herself into Qi Ying's arms, hugged her waist and cried, "You must keep your word and stay with me forever..."
Qi Ying smiled, touched the child's head and hummed softly: "I will always be with you."
***
Qi Ying found an excuse to go back to the bedroom, saying that he needed to rest and asked Xing Xiaochu not to come to his room. Although Xing Xiaochu didn't quite understand, she still listened to Qi Ying and asked her weakly if she wanted to have lunch, but Qi Ying refused.
After exiting the game, Qi Ying felt the pain in her body disappear all of a sudden, and she hurried to check the situation in her store.
Fortunately, people nowadays are of high quality. The store was open all day and no one was in it, so nothing was lost. Qi Ying also went to check the surveillance footage from yesterday and found that a few customers did come after the heavy rain. They walked around the first floor and found that no one was there and left.
Overall, there weren't many customers in the store and nothing was lost.
This really made Qi Ying feel relieved.
It seems that I have to be more careful next time I enter the game. At least I have to close the doors and windows before going in. Otherwise, losing money is a small matter, but if her wedding dress is lost, it will be a big deal.
After quickly packing up her shop, Qi Ying felt that she was not hungry yet. She touched her stomach and felt a little puzzled. She had not eaten for a whole day in reality, so why didn’t she feel hungry yet?
I even felt my stomach was full, as if I had just eaten breakfast.
Could it be that... eating in the game can also make you feel full? ?
Qi Ying didn't know, but for the sake of her own health, she went out and bought a fast food meal, which she ate hastily. Halfway through, she felt very full, and finally had to put the rest of the meal in the refrigerator.
After finishing all these, Qi Ying didn't want to stay in the store anymore. She still had to go to complete the admission procedures for Xing Xiaochu. It would be better to do it today than to wait for another day, so she decided to do it this afternoon.
This time, Qi Ying did not forget to close the windows and lock the doors, and hung up a sign saying "rest", before entering the game.
He appeared in his bedroom. Qi Ying glanced at the time. It was past two in the afternoon and it was time for him to wake up.
"Xiaochu." Qi Ying pushed open the door and called out, and saw a little furry head suddenly pop up on the sofa. The head turned around to look at Qi Ying and called her "sister".
"Come out with me this afternoon?" Qi Ying said to her with a smile, "Go and complete your transfer procedures."
Xing Xiaochu's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over from the sofa and said to her excitedly: "Okay, sister, I'll go change my clothes!"
Qi Ying watched the child quickly run into the house and went to prepare the necessary information.
It is definitely impossible to complete the transfer procedures immediately for the first time, but Qi Ying is not in a hurry. There is still a long time in this summer vacation, as long as the procedures can be completed before enrollment.
Xing Xiaochu changed into the clothes that Qi Ying had bought for her in the mall. It was a white dress, which she paired with her newly bought white shoes. Qi Ying seemed to see the icon of a game APP.
The long black hair naturally falls on her chest, and her slender neck and fair skin make her look particularly beautiful. There is a small blue bow on the square neckline, which makes the whole skirt look not monotonous. The waist design is also very beautiful. The length of the skirt is above the knee, revealing her thin and straight calves.
Little white shoes, little white dress, and a bunch of beautiful lilies would make it a perfect match.
Xing Xiaochu thought that her clothes were not good looking, so she asked Qi Ying in a low voice: "Should I change my clothes?"
Qi Ying came back to his senses, smiled and stretched out his hand: "No, come here, we are going out."
Xing Xiaochu looked at the hand she extended and carefully handed it over.
This is the first time the two of them go out together.
Qi Ying observed the scenery of her community. As a high-end community, the greening was very well done. Walking in the community was like walking in a forest, making the hot summer days not so hot, and even a little cool.
Xing Xiaochu pressed tightly against Qi Ying. She seemed very nervous, with sweat on her palms. Occasionally, she looked up timidly at Qi Ying, then quickly looked away.
When they came out of the community, they first saw a commercial street at the entrance. There were all kinds of stores on both sides of the street. Qi Ying saw a dumpling shop with a green sign. He pulled the child's hand and tilted his head to ask, "Is that the shop where you bought dumplings?"
Xing Xiaochu looked over and nodded.
Qi Ying smiled and said, "It tastes good."
Xing Xiaochu also smiled at her.
The two of them crossed the commercial street and turned a corner and arrived at the entrance of the middle school. It was summer vacation now and there was no one in the school. Qi Ying said something to the security guard and took Xing Xiaochu into the campus.
The campus of No. 3 Middle School is a bit old, with tree roots sticking out from under the cement slabs, making it look particularly old.
The wind blew gently, and the sycamore trees on campus rustled.
Xing Xiaochu felt that at this moment something called "happiness" was gradually beginning to materialize. She was standing in the sun, surrounded by people who cared about her and accompanied her.
She slowly raised her head, and the mottled shadows of the trees fell, shining on the tops of the heads and shoulders of the two people. Qi Ying's profile was very beautiful, and the wind blew her temples, which actually made Xing Xiaochu a little dazed.
At this moment, Qi Ying raised her hand to block the light leaking through the gaps between the leaves above her head. She glanced at Xing Xiaochu beside her, turned her head and smiled at her.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Qi Ying smiled and tapped the child's nose, then said softly, "We should leave now."
Xing Xiaochu came back to his senses when Qi Ying pulled his hand. He followed her for two steps in a daze before quickly following her.
She held Qi Ying's hand tightly, unwilling to let go for even a second.
Xing Xiaochu thought that today might be the day she was closest to happiness...
