rustling sound—!
The grass behind her suddenly rustled, and Qin Xiyao turned her head curiously at the sound.
A greasy middle-aged man popped his head out of the bushes and stared intently at them.
Qin Xiyao tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "Uncle, are you playing hide-and-seek?"
"……no."
"So what are you doing?"
"..."
When the question was raised, the uncle paused for a moment, as if he had something difficult to say. But when he looked into Qin Xiyao's innocent eyes, he suddenly sighed and said, "Sigh, my girlfriend's husband suddenly came back. I didn't have time to pack, so I had to hide here."
"Girlfriend? Husband? What are those?"
Touching on a blind spot in her knowledge, Qin Xiyao did not understand the meaning of these words.
In this respect, the greasy middle-aged man is quite patient.
"A girlfriend is someone you like who is your partner. Let me ask you, do you have someone you like?"
"Um……"
Qin Xiyao frowned in thought, then tapped her chin with her little finger and said, "I like my father."
"Uh! That doesn't count."
The middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat. If this is considered liking something, then how the hell would this novel even pass censorship?
No, no, of course it doesn't count.
"Then how do we determine if it counts?"
Qin Xiyao blinked.
"Yes, it's the person you love most, besides your family."
After a brief explanation, Qin Xiyao seemed to understand.
"Then I like Luo Chen."
Is Luo Chen your family?
"no."
"Then why do you like it?"
"Because he is the most handsome and gentlest person I have ever met."
At this point, Qin Xiyao smiled happily, as if her explanation was excellent.
"Forehead……"
The uncle didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that children's thinking is simple, and they would naturally say directly why they like something.
Unlike adults, they always have excuses to cover up their true intentions.
"Then what does 'husband' mean?"
Like a curious child, Qin Xiyao pressed for more information.
"A husband is someone who is willing to play house with you; that's your husband."
"ah!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiyang's eyes widened.
"What's wrong?"
The middle-aged man, greasy and bewildered.
"It's nothing... it's just... I never thought I'd get married so haphazardly."
The awkward and hesitant manner left the middle-aged man completely bewildered.
She had seemed clueless before, but now she understood why he was saying those things.
Are all kids these days precocious?
"Luo Chen played house with me, so he's my husband. But I'm still so young. What if my father doesn't approve?"
That's what they say, but in the uncle's eyes, Qin Xiyao seemed quite happy.
After chatting for a while, the uncle even gave Qin Xiyao some advice, since things had come to this point.
There should at least be a marriage certificate.
Qin Xiyao listened and also thought it made a lot of sense.
Then she took out a card and a pen from her small bag. Although Qin Xiyao was only four years old, she knew quite a few words.
In addition, there was an immoral old man giving instructions from the side.
A simple card-based marriage certificate is thus completed.
With their mission accomplished, the two were both very happy.
After solving this problem, the greasy middle-aged man finally remembered his own affairs.
Plus, being crouched in the grass and constantly scratched by thorns wasn't a good thing.
"Little sister, now that I've taken care of your life's most important matter, isn't it your turn to help this old man?"
Qin Xiyao didn't say anything, she just watched, because she didn't know how to help, but she knew very well that when Luo Chen came, she would have him write her name on the marriage certificate card, and then she would be Luo Chen's wife.
"Little sister, can you find me something to wear? I don't need to be too picky, just something that fits."
Are you going to wear black stockings or not?
Before Qin Xiyao could answer, Luo Chen had already come over and said these words.
If Qin Xiyao hadn't given up half a body space, no one would have seen that there was actually someone sneaking around in the bushes.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen dared not delay any longer and rushed over.
And coincidentally, I overheard those words.
"Who are you?"
"Luo Chen!"
Qin Xiyao's reaction was a response to the greasy old man's words. She excitedly jumped off the bench and ran towards Luo Chen.
The smile on his face looked very innocent.
"Xi Yao, he didn't bully you, did he?"
"Um……"
Qin Xiyao shook her head slightly. This uncle was a really good person. Although he seemed strange, he was indeed a good person, so he didn't bully her.
Qin Xiyao briefly explained what had happened, but she didn't mention the things they had discussed earlier; she told Luo Chen everything else.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's brows furrowed, and he stared at the greasy middle-aged man hiding in the bushes with a strange look.
I felt a great sense of certainty in my heart.
This guy, is he Old Wang from next door?
This must have happened when things were exposed and people panicked.
Luo Chen stared at the other person speechlessly, while Old Wang looked at Luo Chen with a pitiful expression.
In the end, Luo Chen was moved and could not bear the torment of his own kindness.
Old Wang next door's eyes gradually brightened, filled with tears, and he thought to himself that children these days are still very kind-hearted.
When a black stocking was put on the greasy middle-aged man's head, the previously rendered scene immediately disappeared.
The middle-aged man stared blankly at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen sighed softly, then patted the other person on the shoulder and put on black stockings so that he wouldn't have to worry about being seen by acquaintances.
I never imagined that the naked, chubby woman running in the street would be someone I knew.
The uncle was very touched, and he wanted to thank Luo Chen properly. If his girlfriend or husband hadn't come looking for him, he might have had time to argue with Luo Chen.
But in the end, it came into the sight of Luo Chen and Qin Xiyao.
The middle-aged man was caught, and what followed was a melodramatic urban soap opera.
[...]
The recollection ends.
Qin Xiyao's room was not hard to find.
It can also be said to be very conspicuous.
When Qin Zhengwen took him to the study, he introduced the surrounding environment, which Luo Chen remembered.
The room was dark; Lu Wanqing wasn't there.
Luo Chen carried Qin Xiyao in his arms and placed her on the bed.
As for whether or not to cover herself with a blanket, she hadn't thought about that. The room temperature wouldn't be a big problem even without a blanket, and besides, Qin Xiyao had been drinking.
Luo Chen sat on a small stool in front of the dressing table. From the whispers he had heard earlier, he realized that the small drawer in front of him held a little secret.
It's about that time.
Driven by curiosity, they also wanted to learn more.
Seeing that Qin Xiyao had fallen asleep, Luo Chen slowly pulled open the drawer.
He was greeted by cosmetics from various brands, but he ignored them; they weren't what he wanted to see.
As the drawer was slowly pulled all the way to the bottom.
A small white envelope came into view.
The small envelope was taken out, and there was even beeswax on it. Luo Chen paused and glanced again at Qin Xiyao, who was lying on the bed fast asleep.
"This should be it. Judging from what she said, this little envelope is the only thing that seems out of place in the whole drawer, but..."
If he gets amber applied, it will be discovered as soon as it's opened. What if Qin Xiyao comes after him?
Luo Chen couldn't possibly beat him up, could he?
Moreover, I felt a bit guilty at that moment and was hesitating whether or not to open it.
Without this layer of amber, you would have just looked at it and never noticed anything afterward.
But it's really not easy to do now.
Luo Chen was caught in a dilemma, staring at the small envelope in front of him.
