Qingqing and Nian Gao played like crazy the whole day. They were so happy that they almost didn't want to eat lunch and just wanted to continue playing.
But Bai Qiyu still took them to the restaurant and they ate until they were full.
In order to digest the food, the kids held hands and lined up in front of Bai Qiyu.
Bai Qiyu was afraid of losing the children, so he kept an eye on them.
As they walked, he suddenly found that many parents of the children around him tied their children with something similar to a leash, so that the children would not get lost.
Thinking this thing is very useful, Bai Qiyu stopped a middle-aged man who looked relatively kind and said, "Excuse me, where did you buy this thing?"
He pointed at the "leash" in the other person's hand.
"You mean the baby-walking device?" The middle-aged man who was stopped by a stranger looked at the two children at Bai Qiyu's feet, smiled knowingly, and kindly pointed him in the direction: "Go to the souvenir shop over there, they usually have it."
"Okay, thank you." After thanking him, Bai Qiyu took Qingqing and Nian Gao in each hand to the store to buy two so-called baby-walking devices.
One pink and one blue, Qingqing and Nian Gao each got one, tied to Bai Qiyu's hands.
It is indeed much more convenient to take care of the children this way. At least Bai Qiyu doesn't have to keep a close eye on the two children all the time, and he can relax a little.
"Marshmallows!" Qingqing saw the stall selling marshmallows, and her eyes immediately lit up, and she trotted over with rice cakes in tow.
Run, run, run, but can't run?
Confused, Qingqing turned around and looked at the leash tied tightly around her wrist. Only then did she realize that Bai Qiyu didn't catch up
. She looked for Bai Qiyu in the crowd. Bai Qiyu, who was tall and had long legs, also stood out in the crowd, so the target was still very obvious, and Qingqing found him immediately.
"Uncle Bai...Uncle?" Qingqing wanted to run over, but stopped hesitantly halfway.
Because she saw the person standing in front of Bai Qiyu.
He was wearing a long black windbreaker, and his face was blocked by a wide black hat brim. He was wrapped up tightly, even his hands that should be exposed were wrapped in a pair of black gloves. He
looked very mysterious.
"Uncle." Qingqing was quiet, but that didn't mean Nian Gao would be quiet.
His inexplicable shouting directly attracted the attention of Bai Qiyu and the man.
The mysterious man turned his head and looked directly at Qingqing, with a complicated expression.
Qingqing did
n't understand at all. She only saw the other person walking towards her quickly and squatting beside her.
Then Bai Qiyu instantly clasped his big hand on the other person's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm."
As if he couldn't feel the strong force of the big hand on his shoulder, the mysterious man looked up and looked directly into Qingqing's eyes. As expected,
he was wearing a black mask, leaving only a pair of dark eyes exposed.
Qingqing stared back at him blankly, looking deep into his eyes, and clearly saw her own shadow reflected in them.
Those were a pair of very clear eyes, and the person with such eyes must not be a bad person.
Children have their own way of judging whether a person is good or bad. At least now, Qingqing doesn't think that the strange uncle in front of her is a bad person.
Ignoring the other person's strange appearance, she raised her little face and smiled politely: "Uncle, what do you want to see Qingqing for?"
"I'm lost." The mysterious man said, although he didn't look like he was lost at all: "I can't find the direction, can you show me the way?"
"Lost?" Qingqing tilted her head: "Then where is uncle going?"
You have to give people a specific destination when asking for directions.
"I don't know, just show me a way."
"Is that so..." Qingqing scratched her head in embarrassment: "If I can't find the way home, I have to find the police uncle."
"Really?" The man murmured, then chuckled and said: "Thank you."
His laughter was very pleasant, like green bamboo in summer, shaking with the summer breeze, clear and refreshing, making Qingqing a little absent-minded.
When she came back to her senses, she had a beautifully wrapped gift box in her hand, and she seemed to still hear the words the other person said before he left.
"This is for you, thank you."
Qingqing had a very strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that the other person was not going to say thank you for the gift, but...
a birthday gift.
But is this possible?
How could a stranger know when her birthday was, and her birthday had been in the past for several days.
Even if it was a birthday gift, it was late.
The appearance of the mysterious man seemed to be just a small stone falling into the lake, which caused a little ripples, but the lake water soon returned to calm.
"Qingqing, can you show the gift to your uncle?"
Bai Qiyu was worried that this gift of unknown origin was not safe, and wanted to take it away from Qingqing.
"No, Qingqing, open the gift yourself."
Qingqing refused Bai Qiyu's help and opened
the gift in a few seconds.
It was a small gold lock with exquisite workmanship.
It was engraved with the words "good luck and good fortune". It should be the kind of longevity lock that adults ask for and give to children to keep them safe.
If I remember correctly, this kind of lock can actually be opened, and inside...
there really was a pure gold plaque with Qingqing's name.
Bai Qiyu's face darkened. It
was too thoughtful. It was definitely impossible that the other party had prepared this gift long ago.
"Qingqing, Nian Gao, I'm afraid we have to go back early today."
"Okay." In fact, they had already played almost all the rides they could play, and there was no point in staying in the amusement park, so Qingqing and Nian Gao readily agreed to go home early.
The three of them left, and behind them, the mysterious man appeared again.
He stared at the backs of Qingqing and the others, took off his hat, and then took off his mask, revealing a handsome face of about thirty years old.
The man was very good-looking, and he attracted the attention of many passers-by as soon as he revealed his true face, but he was unaware and kept looking at Qingqing's back until she disappeared.
After a while, his thin lips moved slightly, and he uttered a few words silently.
- I will protect you.
As if she had sensed something, Qingqing turned her head subconsciously, and all she saw was the bustling crowd, and there was no trace of the mysterious man.
***
I met another person who had a special attitude towards Qingqing.
Bai Qiyu frowned, he was hesitating whether to tell this news to others.
He wanted to share the news, but then he thought of Han Weilan's obstruction, so he gave up the idea.
If there are any clues, he can check them by himself. There is no need to keep "helping each other" with others.
Because he returned early, the dinner invitation with Fu Sizhen in the evening was cancelled. Bai Qiyu sent a message to the other party to let him know. After receiving a reply that everything was fine, he took the two children home directly.
Back to his home.
When the car drove to the gate of the community, he happened to see a familiar slender figure standing there.
Bai Qiyu stepped on the brakes instantly, his eyes slightly fixed: "Han Weilan?"
Han Weilan noticed the car that suddenly stopped beside him, and his eyes projected through the gradually lowering car window, passing Bai Qiyu, and cleverly fell on Qingqing in the back seat.
"Are you interested in inviting me to dinner?"
Han Weilan smiled, not the charming smile she had before, but a little forced. She even looked pale because of the cold weather.
"Get in the car."
Bai Qiyu
unlocked the car and let Han Weilan get in.
Han Weilan didn't choose the front passenger seat, so she sat in the back seat, just squeezing in with Qingqing and the others.
"Do you still remember me?" Facing Qingqing's clear eyes, Han Weilan lowered her head slightly to hide her instantly red eyes.
Qingqing stared at Han Weilan for a long while, and suddenly reached out to grab her cold big hand and held it in her arms: "Lanlan, feel the cold, Qingqing will warm you up."
Han Weilan's nose was sore and she almost cried when her fingertips felt the warmth coming from the child.
She never thought that her life would turn around so quickly.
She had just been glad that she had escaped in the morning, but now she had to go to the group of people she least wanted to face because of the cruel reality.
In order to make it easier to talk, Bai Qiyu took Han Weilan and the others to a very private restaurant and asked for a private room.
"Order whatever you want to eat."
The gentleman handed the menu to Han Weilan first, and Bai Qiyu did not ask any more questions.
Since she has come here on her own initiative, she will definitely take the initiative to explain the purpose of her coming. There is no need to rush.
Han Weilan took the menu and ordered a few dishes at random. Bai Qiyu noticed that those were Qingqing's favorites. He tapped the table with his fingertips and paused slightly, but did not say anything.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Han Weilan kept her head down and did not speak. The atmosphere on the scene fell into an awkward stalemate.
I thought this unbearable silence would continue until the end. Qingqing was the first to break the silence: "Lanlan."
The little guy stood up and stretched out his little hand to push the small dish on the table in front of Han Weilan: "Lanlan, eat."
Han Weilan usually likes to eat the small dishes on the table when she goes out to eat with Qingqing.
Because she was very busy at work, she was often too busy to eat, so every time she went out, she was very hungry, eating whatever she
could get. The most unbearable process for her was waiting for the food to be served. On one hand, she was looking forward to the food, but on the other hand, she couldn't stand the hunger, so she had to eat some side dishes to survive.
It was obviously a very small action, and even Qingqing, who had lost all her memories, didn't know why she did it.
But in Han Weilan's eyes, it was like a huge rock hitting her heart, knocking heavily and dully.
Her emotions suddenly exploded.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Covering her face with her hands, Han Weilan couldn't stop crying.
Bai Qiyu was startled by her sudden burst of tears and subconsciously took out a few pieces of paper and gave them to her: "Are you okay?"
He suddenly felt
regretful, especially after seeing Qingqing's worried look, this feeling became even deeper.
Sure enough, I should have listened to Fu Heng and not provoked Han Weilan.
What should I do now?
Fortunately, after crying for a while, Han Weilan recovered her emotions and gradually calmed down.
She lowered her arms, and her slender body gave people such a weak and helpless feeling for the first time. I don't know what happened to force this usually strong woman to this point.
"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't come to you again, but I have no choice." Taking a tissue to wipe the tears, Han Weilan said hoarsely: "Can you... lend me some money?"
Borrow money?
Bai Qiyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "How much?"
"Five million." It's not a small number, but it's not much for Bai Qiyu.
"Okay."
"Don't worry, I'm already working on transferring my store and house, but I'm in a hurry to use the money now, so I have to borrow from you. After all the properties are sold, I will pay you back immediately... What did you say?"
Han Weilan was still nagging about her repayment plan, and just after she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Bai Qiyu had actually agreed.
She was a little surprised and couldn't help but widen her charming eyes. ,,.. ,...:
