Xie Yulin's dramatic and beautiful mental state unfolded in just two or three seconds. After Xie Yulin had gone some distance, Xie Jingcheng's phoenix eyes turned and landed on the little dumpling holding a bulging bag by the door.
With just one glance, Xie Jingcheng couldn't help but smile.
Why does it look a little whiter?
It looks more like a round, plump glutinous rice ball.
"You came back today?"
The familiar voice reached her ears, and Chaochao, who was still shocked that Uncle Xie had walked away with a long face, suddenly came back to her senses. She immediately raised her head happily and said proudly, "Brother Jingcheng, you definitely didn't expect this! This is a surprise I prepared!"
Xie Jingcheng nodded his chin in a very cooperative manner.
"Hmm, I didn't expect that."
Did you really not expect that?
Chaochao didn't notice, but the system could see through the doorway that Chaochao's favorite snacks were already laid out on the coffee table, so it was quite suspicious.
Xie Jingcheng really didn't expect that even after receiving a positive answer from Chaochao last night asking if he would be home tomorrow, and immediately explaining that he wasn't coming back tomorrow, he still "didn't expect" it. He just happened to have prepared some snacks to catch a certain dumpling.
Hehe, she knew she had kept it a secret perfectly! Her brother almost found out, but thankfully she managed to cover it up successfully.
"It seems like Brother Yu Ci has been very busy lately and is rarely home, so I can only wait and send it over later..." Chaochao recalled the information she had gleaned from Yu Ci yesterday. Not being able to personally deliver the freshest local specialties made her mutter with a touch of regret.
Xie Jingcheng heard the little dumpling sighing and muttering to himself, his slightly lowered eyelids lifted slightly, not caring much.
He could roughly guess what this guy was busy with.
After all, the Gu family and their group have been harassing us quite a bit lately.
"This is a surprise too, I picked it myself!"
After sighing, Chaochao remembered the purpose of her visit. She was about to lift the large bag in her hand when Xie Jingcheng easily took it from her. His long, handsome fingers waved in front of her, and Chaochao suddenly felt a sense of relief in her arms.
The boy held the paper bag in one hand and answered before Chaochao could ask any more questions, saying, "I like it, but don't bring it over yourself next time. It's too heavy and my hand will get sore."
Before she could speak, Chaochao was stunned by Xie Jingcheng's reply. The tall young man turned slightly to the side, his phoenix eyes lowered, and asked with a smile, "Want to come in and have some fun?"
Chaochao had just lifted her left foot when she suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled it back. She shook her head and said, "I won't come in. I'm going to the hospital right away."
Xie Jingcheng paused, his brows furrowing slightly:
Where does it hurt?
"No, it's not me, it's me. I want to see Brother Yu Shen."
Xie Jingcheng's tense nerves relaxed imperceptibly, and his sharp, cold eyebrows lifted slightly. "Is it absolutely necessary to go?"
"Mmm." Chaochao nodded.
"Wait for me a moment." Xie Jingcheng turned around and walked to the living room, picked up the coat draped over the sofa and casually put it on. "I'll go with you to see it."
——
The Huo family's car drove to Songhe Hospital again.
Huo Qin originally planned to accompany Chaochao, but after discovering that Xie Jingcheng was added to the entourage, he paused for a moment and decided to let Xie Jingcheng take Chaochao to see him.
Therefore, only Xie Jingcheng and Chaochao got off the bus.
Xie Jingcheng led Chaochao by the hand, past the pure white fountain, into the shade cast by the evergreen trees, where a fiery maple forest stretched out in the distance.
I didn't get to do a city walk, but it was nice to do a hospital walk, especially since the green spaces at Songhe Hospital were excellent, and you could see patients coming downstairs for a stroll everywhere.
We're almost there.
With a bouncy and playful gait, Chaochao spotted the familiar inpatient building, pointed excitedly with her little hand, and dragged Xie Jingcheng over there.
Just then, two little boys were laughing and chasing each other on the tree-lined path, seemingly oblivious to the passersby. Just as one of the boys was about to bump into Chaochao, Xie Jingcheng caught the little dumpling in his arms with one hand.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can never catch me!"
The little boy ran past laughing and oblivious to everyone else, without any intention of stopping. If Chaochao had been standing still, she would have been hit.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
But Xie Jingcheng has never hesitated to assume malice in others, regardless of their age.
Moreover, because of Xie Yulin's scandalous past, Xie Jingcheng has always disliked children. Apart from Chaochao, he still treats his illegitimate younger siblings as a cold and ruthless tyrant who inspires fear in them.
At this moment, Xie Jingcheng glanced down coldly.
Chaochao, who was dragging her brother along, suddenly felt dizzy for a second and found herself lying on Jingcheng's shoulder, feeling bewildered.
The little boy who was playing and passing by suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He looked up and immediately saw the little bundle in Xie Jingcheng's arms.
"A short, stout winter melon!"
The boy grinned and pointed at Chaochao, who was wearing a mask, laughing loudly, "You're so big already, why do you still need your brother to carry you? I could walk by myself when I was one year old!"
Another boy who was chasing him heard the noise and came running over, joining in making faces: "Shorty! Shorty!"
【Ugh! Where did this brat come from?! Get out of here!】
The system, heartbroken for Chaochao, wished it could pull out its forty-meter-long sword and yell, "I'll shred you all!!" Get lost, you rude, uncivilized brat who loves to tease the sweet and innocent girls in class!
Chaochao was still in a state of great confusion after being suddenly ridiculed. Although her brother sometimes called her "Little Winter Melon," he would never make her feel as depressed as these two boys.
The two boys made faces together: "Shorty, come down here if you dare!"
In their excitement, they failed to notice the increasingly cold gaze of the tall boy holding the short, stocky man.
They waited with smiles on their faces, and then the little girl burst into tears, just like the other girls in her class.
In a fit of rage—
She was furious!
Having very little experience in arguing, she clenched her fists, unable to utter a single word.
Suddenly, a cold voice rang in my ears.
"Fat potato." Xie Jingcheng said with a cold smile to the chubby boy who had shouted first, his phoenix eyes narrowed as if they were filled with snow, "And you, stinking cow dung."
His gaze shifted to the dark-skinned little boy who had come later.
Fat Potato and Stinky Cow Dung: "..."
Shorty, oh wait, no, Chaochao: "...??"
