Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Xia Li finally discovered that the child was...
Jiang Dong was a little afraid to look into Xia Li's eyes, and he felt his fingers scratching his nose.
Why at this time today?
He couldn't say he was unhappy that Charlie came here. When he gave Charlie the address, he never thought that Charlie would come to see him for no reason, and even thoughtfully brought a meal over.
Moreover, the environment of the urban village is actually not very good. Xia Li is good-looking, and he doesn't want her to come here, as it is a bit dangerous.
But no matter what, his heart was as sweet as honey.
However, the timing was really unfortunate. He was just doing his own thing and was still thinking about Charlie.
I originally thought that the voice I heard was an illusion, but it turned out to be her.
To be honest, Jiang Dong didn't want Xia Li to see this side of him.
After Xia Li finished speaking, she was still looking at Jiang Dong. It was not known whether she realized it or not, as nothing could be seen on her face.
After a while, Xia Li said nothing and sat down leisurely on the small stool that Jiang Dong had asked her to sit on.
Xia Li sat on it, took out the remaining rice from the plastic bag, opened it, took out her chopsticks, and looked back: "What? Aren't you hungry yet? Go to bed early after eating!"
Didn't this person say he's been busy for so long without closing his eyes? Why doesn't he just eat and go to bed?
She doesn't care about anything else! Humph!
Jiang Dong then came over, sat next to Xia Li, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Charlie couldn't help but frown. "Why are you eating the same way as before? You still haven't changed. No one's trying to snatch it from you, so why are you eating so fast?"
When Xia Li was still living with Jiang Dong in her hometown, she had mentioned this issue of Jiang Dong's eating habits more than once. Every time she mentioned it, Jiang Dong would smile and promise that he would pay attention and change.
It seemed like she had indeed changed after that and had not made this mistake again. In fact, she also knew that people like them who worked outside had compressed meal times and had to eat quickly in order to eat more and do more work.
The last time she had dinner with Jingdong, she was the one eating, and Jiang Dong was accompanying her, Xia Li didn't know. This time, she found that Jiang Dong had changed back to his old self.
It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature!
When Jiang Dong heard Xia Li's words, it seemed as if time had gone back to the past when she had said the same thing.
But he also knew that things were different now, so he still tried to slow down his eating pace.
Charlie ate her meal and then glanced over.
She wanted to talk about Jiang Zai, but thinking that this person was still eating, she decided to talk about it later.
In the end, Xia Li only ate half of her meal, and Jiang Dong picked it up and ate it without saying a word.
After eating, Jiang Dong said he wanted to take Xia Li home, but Xia Li shook her head.
"Why don't you go back? This place of mine is not a place for you to stay."
Charlie was furious after hearing this. What was that? It was a nice thing to say, but why did it sound so weird?
Xia Li stood in front of Jiang Dong, looking at the bloodshot in his eyes, and endured it, "I'm not leaving. You go to sleep first. I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Dong felt cold when he heard this, thinking that he had misheard.
"You're not going to leave, waiting for me here, ready to watch me sleep?"
Charlie nodded matter-of-factly. That was what she meant.
"What? Do you think I'm going to take advantage of you while you're sleeping or steal your things?"
Jiang Dong didn't think so, but he really couldn't understand why Xia Li had to wait until he woke up before leaving.
Could it be because she felt sorry for him because he hadn't rested for a long time? This suspicion in Jiang Dong's mind grew like mushrooms after rain, until it filled his entire heart.
The corners of his mouth curled up. Okay, then he would go to sleep first.
Jiang Dong told Xia Li not to run around, and then went to bed without saying a word to catch up on his sleep.
Charlie saw his quick movements but didn't react.
How did this man change so quickly and go to bed so quickly?
And it’s such a cold day, and he’s still wearing a big vest. He’s really tough.
Charlie complained in her heart, but she walked lightly. She tiptoed back to the stool and sat down.
Jiang Dong closed her eyes and heard Xia Li's rustling movements. She thought she didn't make any noise, but the person on the bed heard it clearly.
Jiang Dong thought he would not fall asleep, but he fell asleep without knowing when. When he opened his eyes, Xia Li seemed to be sleeping on his legs.
Jiang Dong frowned and sat up. How could he sleep well like this? He might as well wake himself up. He would probably feel uncomfortable later.
As he was thinking about this, he saw Charlie move a little, but she didn't raise her head and was still lying on her knees.
Jiang Dong took this opportunity to tidy up his bed, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to look Xia Li in the eye.
After Xia Li woke up, she felt very uncomfortable. After stretching, she found that Jiang Dong had already gotten up because she didn't see anyone in the bed.
When I looked up, I found Jiang Dong standing by the window.
Charlie stood up and asked, "When did you wake up? You didn't even call me. You haven't slept for so long, and this little sleep is enough?"
Jiang Dong turned his head to look at her: "It's enough to go to bed early. Two hours of sleep is enough. You can make up for the rest in the evening. Come on, grab your things and I'll take you home."
Charlie nodded and went to wash her hands, not even her face. There was nothing here, no face towel, nothing to wipe her face with. Although her eyelids were a little uncomfortable, she thought it would be better if she could get some fresh air and some sunshine.
Xia Li walked out first, and then Jiang Dong locked the door from the outside.
As they walked along the road, Jiang Dong asked Xia Li, "Why, you came here just to bring me food today? Don't you have anything else to say?"
He walked in front with his hands in his pockets. Charlie didn't know the way.
The two people were not far away. Xia Li thought about it, took two steps forward, and then walked to Jiang Dong's side.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Dong. Under Jiang Dong's tolerant eyes, she slowly spoke: "Actually, I don't want to say it and make you worry, but since you asked, I think it's better to tell you."
Jiang Dong's heart suddenly started beating fast. He said, "What's the matter? Keep talking."
Xia Li then told Jiang Dong what had happened to Jiang Zai, and Jiang Dong just listened quietly.
Finally, he asked, "So, those three traffickers haven't been found yet?"
Charlie nodded. "I haven't heard any news yet."
Jiang Dong's face was serious: "The child is not scared, right?" After all, he is still so young and has encountered such a thing.
Xia Li smiled when she heard Jiang Dong talk about Jiang Zai. "No, he was very brave. My aunt said that the police praised him later because Jiang Zai remembered the names of the three people, which was an important clue. The child was not injured or frightened. It's a blessing."
Remembering what her aunt had said to her before, she continued, "My aunt had said before that we would present a banner to the police officer together with the other family. After all, he saved our two children."
Jiang Dong nodded, "Of course. Do you want me to come with you?"
Charlie shook her head. "No need. My aunt and that family will probably go there together. If you go, I'll have to explain myself."
Charlie said she didn't mean it.
Jiang Dong didn't say anything. He had always known that the public security in Guangcheng was still a bit chaotic, but he never thought that his son would encounter such a thing. He was terrified when he heard it.
"Don't come to my place again. You know my pager, so Charlie can use it to contact me."
Xia Li wanted to say that she was an adult, not a child, and it was nothing, and she wouldn't encounter any danger, but when she saw Jiang Dong's serious expression, she nodded unconsciously.
If she doesn't want to come, then don't come here. Do you really think she wants to come here? It's far and difficult to walk, the environment is poor and remote. Next time I ask her to come, she won't come.
After that, Jiang Dong didn't speak for a long time. Xia Li didn't know what to say to Jiang Dong, so she could only follow his steps and move forward.
Jiang Dong first found where Xia Li and her son lived, and then found a place to stay for himself, so the two places were not too far away.
You don't have to take any bus, you can just walk back and forth to send the person back.
Jiang Dong wanted to send him home directly, but Xia Li suddenly remembered that she had promised to bring some delicious food back for Jiang Zai.
She also forgot that she had said this before, but she always felt sorry for her child for leaving him alone without bringing anything back.
Thinking of Jiang Zai's pitiful look before, Xia Li pulled Jiang Dong's sleeve and asked him not to leave.
Jiang Dong was pulled back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Charlie smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't brought any food back for Jiangzai yet!"
After bringing some delicious food back, Jiang Dong looked around to see if there was anywhere he could buy something.
"Or, you can go back and bring the child out first. It's been a while, and I've wanted to see the child." Jiang Dong also felt a little upset after hearing what Xia Li said. He felt better after seeing the child, and he felt at ease.
Xia Li looked at Jiang Dong and said, "Okay, then I'll go and bring him out?"
Jiang Dong nodded, and the two of them continued walking forward. They didn't buy anything first, but sent Xia Li back to pick someone up.
"Dad! Dad!" When Jiang Zai followed his mother out, he knew he was going to see his father. He was so excited to see his father that when he saw him from a distance, he broke free from Xia Li's hand and ran over.
Charlie trotted behind, but couldn't catch up. What was this kid so excited about?
Jiang Zai rushed towards Jiang Dong like a small cannonball. Jiang Dong caught the momentum and lifted him up.
He was pleased that his son was excited and enthusiastic when he saw him, but he also knew that the little boy was very strong and ignorant. What if he bumped into someone?
"You can only do this with Daddy, understand? You can't run so fast and rush directly into Mommy's arms. If you do that, Mommy will get hurt. Our Jiangzai is such a good boy, he definitely doesn't want to hurt Mommy." Jiang Dong taught his son, but seeing Jiangzai's pouty mouth, looking very aggrieved, he continued, "It's okay. If you want to do this again in the future, just bump into Daddy. Daddy is a man, he's not afraid of getting hurt."
He hooked his son's nose with his index finger, making the little guy laugh.
"Dad, I miss you so much. We haven't seen each other for a long time. When can we live together?" Jiang Zai asked his father again.
Xia Li also walked over and heard Jiang Dong say, "When Dad works hard and makes a lot of money, he can live with Jiang Zai. Then Dad will buy a big house for Jiang Zai to live in, okay?"
Jiangzai immediately said, "Okay!" He was very confident in his father and believed in him very much.
Charlie glanced at him.
She smoothed out Jiangzai's wrinkled clothes and asked him, "Jiangzai, what are you going to eat? Tell me quickly, there's no such shop after the village."
Jiang Zai didn't understand what his mother said, nor did he understand what "once you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again" meant. He looked at Jiang Dong.
Jiang Dong hugged him and explained to his son: "Your mother means that if you want to eat something, you should tell her quickly. If you don't tell her now, you won't have a chance next time."
Jiang Zai nodded and turned to look at Xia Li: "Mom, why are you saying things I don't understand? I understand everything Dad says."
Charlie finally discovered that the child seemed to have someone to support him as soon as he saw his father.
