Just around the corner outside the alley is the main street of the central business district.
Xie Jingcheng carried the child toward the central fountain in front of a shopping mall, where there were benches where people could rest.
Chaochao leaned on his shoulder, gazing sluggishly at the high school students getting further and further away, then at the cold, sharp profile of the boy so close to her.
Xie Jingcheng heard a muffled voice coming from the little girl beside him.
"Was it them who bullied my brother last time?"
It was the first time a living being had spoken so closely into his ear, and Xie Jingcheng felt a little uncomfortable, so he gave a rather concise reply.
"no."
Do they even deserve it?
no……
Xie Jingcheng's answer, however, took on a different meaning in Chaochao's ears.
Her little brain started working.
So there's another group of people?
Chaochao was stunned.
...Wouldn't that be extremely painful?
Chaochao knew the pain of being beaten. Her uncles and aunts used to hit her all sorts of times, and at night when she was sleeping, she was in so much pain that she could only cry under her blanket.
But……
There were even more people bullying her brother than she was, and they were all so mean...
Recalling Xie Jingcheng's hideous wound on his palm at the police station last time, tears welled up in Chaochao's eyes.
She clenched her little fists.
I wanted to hold back.
The next second, the corners of his mouth suddenly drooped.
Waaah, she can't take it anymore!
So the heartbroken little girl buried her face in the boy's shoulder and wept bitterly.
"Brother, you're suffering so much! Waaah!"
The little girl's wailing quickly attracted the attention of people within a hundred meters. They cast wary glances, wondering if child traffickers were abducting her.
But seeing the little girl nestled affectionately in the boy's arms, and seeing the boy's face, they felt relieved.
By the way, I have to say, these siblings have amazing genes! Their parents must have saved the galaxy!
Xie Jingcheng was completely stunned when Chaochao burst into tears.
What just happened??
Xie Jingcheng hates the sound of children crying the most. Every time the children are frightened and cry for their mothers, he gets impatient and leaves the scene to get away from the noise.
But now, listening to the little girl's sobbing, Xie Jingcheng didn't feel so annoyed...
Why are you so concerned about him?
Chaochao is still crying, heartbroken and sad.
Xie Jingcheng had no experience in coaxing children, so he just frowned and pondered.
I wish I hadn't left so early; I could have seen how they comforted the child.
Fearing the little girl would cry herself hoarse, Xie Jingcheng had no choice but to adopt the same tone he used when dealing with his "underlings".
"Three, two, one, collect."
He commanded, his cold voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of helplessness.
Chaochao instinctively stopped crying, stared blankly at him, and even hiccuped.
But it just stopped making a sound; the golden beans were still falling down with a pattering sound.
"..."
After Xie Jingcheng placed her on the bench, the little girl sat obediently, her eyes red, but she had stopped crying.
Xie Jingcheng sat next to her, and Chaochao sniffed, then took his big hand with her small hand and turned it over to take a closer look.
More than ten days have passed, and the wound on my palm has scabbed over and most of it has fallen off.
It seems she did a pretty good job bandaging it.
Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Jingcheng, who had let Chaochao hold his hand, watched this scene. His usually flamboyant phoenix eyes were now quietly lowered, and his dark blue eyelashes cast a shadow.
The little girl kept sniffing.
Xie Jingcheng silently handed her a tissue, finally asking, "You... got lost again?"
He remembered the first time they met; it was when she was brought back by the police after getting lost.
Xie Jingcheng frowned secretly, wondering what kind of parents these kids were.
"Huh?" Chaochao looked up groggily. "No, I came out with Uncle Lin."
Because Chaochao, who had finished eating the small cake, ended up contradicting herself, and Huo Qin had a meeting to attend, he asked Lin Cheng to take the overeaten child downstairs for a walk to digest her food.
She happened to see her brother's figure disappear around the corner, so she followed him.
Speaking of this...
Oh right, where's Uncle Lin?!
The little girl suddenly opened her eyes wide.
How did her Uncle Lin, who's so big, get lost?
Xie Jingcheng: "..."
He thought the child was lost, so he brought her here.
"Won't I be mistaken for a human trafficker?"
He frowned.
Chaochao, who was wiping her nose with a tissue, looked up at him upon hearing the sound, then shook her head seriously, "No way."
Xie Jingcheng thought she was going to say something profound.
Chaochao: "There are no human traffickers this good-looking."
Xie Jingcheng: "..."
system:"……"
"Chao Chao," the system earnestly advised, emphasizing that anti-abduction education should start from childhood, "even handsome men can become morally corrupt and go astray!"
Unfortunately, Chaochao only understood the first four words, but she could roughly understand what the system meant. She tilted her head and said, "At least my brother isn't a bad person."
She could sense it.
The system sighed. This child is too naive. It would be good if he could grow up to be more shrewd in the future.
After Chaochao finished getting ready, Xie Jingcheng stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Where to?" Chaochao asked, puzzled.
The boy replied calmly, "I'm looking for your Uncle Lin."
“That’s right!” Chaochao quickly climbed off the chair and naturally took his hand. “Uncle Lin will definitely be scared by himself.”
Xie Jingcheng looked at their clasped hands and remained silent.
Are they that close?
