Chapter 8 "Is this Xing Xiaochu's home?"
The warm embrace made Xing Xiaochu dazed for a moment. It had been a long time since she had been hugged like this.
Smelling the scent on Qi Ying's body, Xing Xiaochu could tell that the other party was very anxious.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Is it because you are worried about yourself?
Although Xing Xiaochu was very timid, afraid of thunder and alpha, she would not be so scared as long as she hid well. But the alpha she had just met was worried about her and even ran back to find her at this time.
Xing Xiaochu thought, she should be the only person who cares about her so much besides her mother, right?
Qi Ying saw that the child in her arms looked "scared silly" and thought that she was really scared. When she just entered the house, Qi Ying smelled a faint scent of osmanthus. Although it was also the cool scent of osmanthus, Qi Ying could tell from the smell that Xing Xiaochu was very scared.
So she reached out and covered Xing Xiaochu's ears with both hands before the next thunder struck.
The pitch-black room suddenly turned white. Xing Xiaochu looked up at her. The rumbling thunder was isolated far away and the sound seemed vague. Instead, another voice entered her ears.
Low and rhythmic.
It was the sound of Qi Ying's heart beating and the pulsation of blood flowing in his body.
"elder sister……"
Xing Xiaochu looked up at her and blinked slightly.
Another burst of thunderous sounded like an explosion. Qi Ying frowned and pulled the person into his arms, hugged her tightly and said, "It's okay. I'm back. Don't be afraid..."
The room was too dark. The dark clouds from a thunderstorm covered the sky, making the house look like seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Qi Ying just got up and was about to turn on a light when he felt someone pulling his clothes.
Xing Xiaochu leaned on her shoulders, tightly grasping Qi Ying's clothes, and looked at her sullenly: "Sister, don't go..."
"I'm not leaving." Qi Ying thought about it, and gave up turning on the light. She hugged the thin child in her arms and said, "I'm staying with you."
Xing Xiaochu smelled the scent of plum wine on Qi Ying, which was a little choking, but when she thought that Qi Ying was worried about her, she felt at ease.
Didn't this person go to work?
Why are you back now?
How did she know that she was afraid of thunder?
Xing Xiaochu was no longer so scared when being held by someone, but she would still be frightened by the sudden thunder. Every time this happened, Qi Ying would pat her on the back or rub her with his soft cheek, which made her feel at ease.
The summer rainstorm came and went quickly. The rumbling thunder lasted less than half an hour before stopping. The rain faded and the sky slowly cleared up.
Qi Ying glanced at the sky outside the window. She could already vaguely see the sunlight. She patted the child in her arms and whispered, "The rain has stopped."
Xing Xiaochu popped his head out of her arms, looked out the window, and still stayed tightly in Qi Ying's arms, saying "hmm" softly.
Qi Ying knew that Xing Xiaochu was still scared, so she didn't urge Xing Xiaochu to get up quickly. She still held the person in her arms and coaxed him gently. It was Xing Xiaochu herself who felt a little embarrassed.
She was an Omega and was supposed to keep a distance from alphas. Now she felt very strange being held in the arms of a stranger A, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Especially in the summer when people wear less, Xing Xiaochu felt Qi Ying's breasts pressing against her, making her face blush.
"Sister..." Xing Xiaochu slightly moved away, looked up at her and said, "Aren't you at work?"
How come you're back so soon?
Qi Ying smiled and said, "Just now I saw that it was going to rain outside, and I was afraid that you would be scared at home alone, so I rushed back."
Xing Xiaochu felt warm in her heart, and asked her awkwardly, "Won't your workplace fine you?"
"A fine?" Qi Ying looked at her and asked, "Where did you hear that you will be fined when you go home?"
"My mother used to be fined every time she came back from work, and my father would beat her every time, saying that she didn't even make money for me." Xing Xiaochu lowered her eyes and said softly to Qi Ying: "If there is thunder again next time, sister, you don't have to come back specially, I'm not afraid of being alone."
Qi Ying glanced at the child. Who was it that had covered her ears and hid in the closet just now? She wouldn't let him go to turn on the light, and he's still curled up in her arms and doesn't want to get up?
Of course, Qi Ying knew that Xing Xiaochu meant well and would definitely not expose the child.
"It's okay. I won't be fined when I go home." Qi Ying rubbed the child's soft face and said with a chuckle, "Because I am the boss, no one will fine me except me."
Xing Xiaochu looked at her in surprise and thought that Qi Ying was so amazing that she could even be her own boss.
Qi Ying looked at the child's wide-open eyes and smiled, without explaining that he was the boss + employee + shopping guide + salesman, and even a night security guard. Anyway, Xing Xiaochu didn't seem to understand much, so it was easy to fool him.
"Okay." Qi Ying rubbed the child's head and said to her, "Get up, the rain has stopped."
Xing Xiaochu then realized that he had been sitting in the other person's arms. The tips of his ears suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and nodded before getting up.
'bite--'
Qi Ying's cell phone suddenly rang. When she stood up, she took it out and took a look. She found that it was a reminder sent to her by the game.
[Dear designer, your Xiaochu's favorability towards you has increased. She really likes you! ]
Qi Ying was slightly stunned, and clicked on the favorability bar next to it to check. Now the progress bar has obviously increased a lot, showing [Believe it without a doubt].
'bite--'
[Dear designer, Xiaochu is still young and can’t be locked up at home all day. Maybe you can start making a training plan for her now. You also need to decide on a good school and study hard to make progress every day! ]
Qi Ying looked at the training plan and remembered that Xing Xiaochu's father had expelled her from school. If Qi Ying did not work hard to get her student status back, Xing Xiaochu might not be able to go to school this summer.
Even if you can't be a big star, you can't be illiterate. You still have to go to school.
Qi Ying secretly put away his cell phone, preparing to take advantage of the next two days when he was not busy to go to Xing Xiaochu's scumbag father to ask for his child's school registration.
Just transfer the child to a middle school near home. I don’t know how his academic performance is, I hope he is not a little idiot.
Xing Xiaochu had no idea that she was being treated as a little fool. She had just been frightened by the thunder and broke out in a cold sweat, and was then held in Qi Ying's arms, making her body full of the smell of Qi Ying's pheromones. The smell of plum wine wrapped Xing Xiaochu tightly, making Xing Xiaochu, who had never experienced this, feel hot all over.
The glands on the back of the neck gradually became hot after smelling Qi Ying's pheromones. Now they were hot even without touching, making Xing Xiaochu's heart beat faster.
Kind of bad…
Xing Xiaochu thought aggrievedly that she had to keep a distance from Qi Ying in the future, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
After simply going back to the room, taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Xing Xiaochu poked his head out of the room. At this moment, the rain had completely stopped, and the sunlight outside had returned to normal. The sun was even shining scorchingly on the earth, evaporating the rain water on the windowsill.
Qi Ying was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery downstairs attentively.
Seeing Xing Xiaochu coming out, Qi Ying waved at her, motioning the child to come over to her.
"elder sister?"
Xing Xiaochu came over, not knowing what was going on. He stood beside her and looked at the street view outside the French window. He turned his head and asked her in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
"Looking at schools." Qi Ying pointed to a building in the distance and said to Xing Xiaochu, "I just checked. There is a middle school near our home. It only takes 15 minutes to walk from home. Do you want to go to school there?"
Xing Xiaochu turned her head and looked over, and recognized that it was the nearby No. 3 Middle School, one of the top five high schools in the city. She blinked slightly, pinched the corner of her clothes and said nothing.
Qi Ying knew what she was worried about, and said softly to the child: "Don't worry, just tell me whether you want to go to school or not, and I will take care of the rest."
Xing Xiaochu looked up at the people around her. She didn't know where Qi Ying got the confidence to say these words, but Qi Ying's words did make her feel at ease. She looked at Qi Ying deeply for a long time, her beautiful black eyes shaking slightly, and after a long time she nodded.
"I want to go to school." Xing Xiaochu said to her, "I want to go to school, sister."
Qi Ying smiled and gently touched the child's head.
If you want to go, then sister will help you.
***
Qi Ying was walking alone in the dim alley. She looked at the location on her phone, which showed that she was 100 meters away from her destination.
She looked up and realized for the first time that there were urban villages in the world of this game.
The urban village is located on a street in the city center. The environment here is very messy. There are tall buildings in the distance, but below are smelly sewers and dim alleys. Qi Ying and a delivery boy riding an electric bike looked at each other at the entrance of the alley, and finally had to exit the alley to let the other party pass first.
It's too much trouble, how could someone occupy both sides of the street and make the road only passable in one direction?
Qi Ying frowned and wondered what kind of life did Xing Xiaochu live in the past? Even if he was a poor little guy, it was still too miserable, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, Qi Ying walked through the alley and came to a place that looked like a residential building. A prompt "Destination is near you" sounded on his phone, and then the navigation ended.
Qi Ying: “…”
There are more than a dozen households on each floor of the tube-shaped building. How can she find one?
Fortunately, he had a mouth for asking directions. Qi Ying asked a few passers-by and was guided to a house on the fourth floor.
The corridors in the old tube-shaped buildings were narrow, and many families even had their kitchens outside. The entire corridor was filled with a sour and smelly smell, which made Qi Ying frown.
When she stood in front of a door pointed out by a passerby, she smelled a strong smell of liquor. The door of the room was opened, and the room was dark. There was only a shadow of a man lying on the sofa, and the ground was littered with empty wine bottles.
An alcoholic father, a deceased mother, Xing Xiaochu who couldn't go to school, and the unlucky her.
Qi Ying crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, then knocked on the door and asked, "Is this Xing Xiaochu's home?"
