"Well, then it won't be cold this way."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl rubbed his palm, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth made people feel soft-hearted.
The corners of his lips were upturned, and his eyebrows were curved like crescents.
When you get closer, you can smell the faint sweet fragrance coming from her, which is very pleasant.
He Sui half-closed his eyes.
A focused and affectionate light poured out from his eyes, and then he bent his fingers and scratched the tip of her nose, saying lovingly:
“You…”
Then he tilted his head and chuckled.
He gently took the little girl's hand, which was tucked into the sleeve of her sweatshirt, and wrapped it in his dry and warm palm.
With the other hand, he held the bag and led her towards the kitchen.
After entering the kitchen, Cong Nian realized that something seemed to be missing.
"Where are Aunt Lin and Uncle He?"
Why is He Sui the only one at home?
She asked He He to go out just to leave some private space for Aunt Lin and Uncle He.
It was just past ten o'clock, and the sun was at its brightest outside. The abundant sunlight filled the kitchen, and reflected by the tiles on the wall looked like flowing water.
The boy's slender reflection swayed on the chopping block.
Uncle He is at home today, and Aunt Lin usually starts preparing lunch early.
But now he seems not to be at home.
"They...are out on a date."
The boy's voice was very pleasant, his brows raised slightly, and his gaze moved from the little girl's face to the dining table.
He Sui pointed to the small note Lin Shuangshuang left on the table.
Cong Nian picked it up and looked at it carefully. When she saw Aunt Lin say, "Take good care of Nian Nian at home," her little face turned a little red.
How could Aunt Lin's tone be so natural...
She has an important mission today!
But you must never forget!
Afraid that He Sui would notice his guilty conscience, he started to find topics to divert his attention.
"Oh, by the way, what did you do this morning? I didn't see you when I got up."
While waiting for the microwave, Cong Nian leaned against the cupboard and looked up at him and asked.
If nothing unexpected happens, He Sui seems to rarely wake up before her.
Sometimes when she went to school, she would take over Aunt Lin's job and wake up He Sui, who was a heavy sleeper and had a bad temper when getting up.
Today is the weekend. If he played games late the night before, he might sometimes sleep until noon.
So today's behavior is really a bit abnormal.
He Sui raised an eyebrow.
Are you checking up on me, little cutie?
"It's a long story..."
The person he was going to see was someone the cutie didn’t know. How should he tell her?
And since the midterm exam incident, all kinds of coincidences have happened together, and everything is just his guess.
I don’t know when the person behind this will come to Yuecheng.
After coming to Yuecheng, will he target the little cutie again?
It is impossible to make a judgment now.
Qiao Ran's words were half true and half false. He always listened to half of them and never believed them completely.
If I tell my little cutie, will it only add to my worries?
But what he can be sure of now is that his little girl will not suffer unnecessary harm for the time being.
"Hmm? It's a long story? Then tell me slowly."
Cong Nian went to the dining table and brought back two chairs, one on the left and one on the right, put them down facing each other, and then sat down first.
He gestured with his eyes at the chair opposite, as if he wanted to have a "good" talk with him.
"Sit down."
Cong Nian straightened his back.
The four words "it's a long story" obviously mean to avoid talking about it. If you avoid talking about it, it means that you have something to hide, some little secret that cannot be told!
This makes his going out this morning even more suspicious.
Full marks for logic.
"Okay, okay, I'll admit it all. Please calm down, little sir."
He Sui sat opposite the little girl and laughed in silence.
Do you think he did something bad when he went out?
Are you jealous?
I feel a bit spoiled and arrogant.
Then he told him everything he had guessed about and the person he was going to meet this morning without missing a word.
"Qiao Ran?"
Cong Nian muttered the name to himself.
This name seems familiar to her?
I seem to hear classmates around me often mention her, saying that Qiao Ran from Class 10 of Grade 1 is a weird person.
Not only does he never wear school uniform, he also doesn't talk to anyone and wears a mask covering his face all day long, and he doesn't even feel hot.
Moreover, it was 2022, and there were still patches on her clothes and pants, which made a group of children from wealthy families play with her coat.
Any normal person would be angry, but Qiao Ran just watched silently, neither humble nor arrogant.
When those rich kids got tired of playing, she would pick up the coat and put it in the drawer as if nothing had happened.
It would appear on her again the next day as if nothing had happened.
In the scorching summer, physical education classes give many girls a headache, and physical tests make girls find various excuses to take the test next time.
When running 800 meters, the rubber on Qiao Ran's sneakers came off and the soles separated from the shoes.
After being kicked around maliciously by other students, Qiao Ran ran 800 meters barefoot on the playground, making the students laugh for several days.
Even Cong Nian, who doesn't pay much attention to gossip, has heard a lot of things like this.
It can be said that Qiao Ran is the bully of all the middle school students.
Young and rebellious students would find fun in their lives by bullying her.
Cong Nian always felt that this girl was so unlucky.
But if this girl endures humiliation because of her poor family background, why doesn't she apply for a scholarship from the school?
