Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Li Chi.
On Sundays, Qin Ye went to evening self-study.
After all, school bullies don’t skip classes every day.
Qin Moran continued to play alone without his third brother's company.
He is still the little boy who loves to daydream and can spend half a day sitting anywhere.
That day, Qin Moran sat in front of the iron fence of the manor.
Their manor is very large, covering tens of thousands of square meters.
There are security patrols in the manor from time to time, and there is an iron fence around it, so outsiders can't get in at all.
Of course, the little kid Qin Moran couldn’t go out either.
Qin Moran sat there in a daze as usual.
While he was in a daze, he vaguely remembered some things in the book he traveled through.
He was traveling through a novel about a wealthy family. His entire family was villains and could only be considered supporting characters. The protagonist was someone else.
Of course, he himself is not even a supporting role, but just a small cannon fodder in the villain's family.
The book doesn't describe this little cannon fodder much, except that he has been sickly since childhood, and has been raised in a manor, rarely going out.
In addition to this family of villains, there is also an ultimate villain.
The villain is the focus of the book and often works against the protagonists.
What was the villain's name?
Qin Moran couldn't remember clearly.
After all, he was in the body of a three-year-old child and his thinking was that of a three-year-old.
Suddenly, the sound of "bang bang bang" not far away interrupted Qin Moran's thoughts. He looked towards the source of the sound in surprise.
The sound came from a dilapidated house across the street.
In this city, there are towering skyscrapers, spacious and magnificent manors, and of course, there is no shortage of dilapidated houses.
For example, across the street from their manor, there are some dilapidated old houses.
At this moment, a boy was standing in front of a dilapidated house and knocking hard on the door.
The boy looked about the same age as Qin Moran, probably around three or four years old.
However, this boy is much taller than Qin Moran. In addition to his height, another obvious characteristic is that he is thin, as if he is malnourished.
The boy started knocking on the door, then started banging on it.
Some neighbors around the house were woken up by the noise.
Someone advised the little boy not to smash it.
Someone was gossiping nearby.
Those voices drifted faintly through the wind.
"Did his father lock him out again?"
"Old Li is such a jerk. He gets drunk all the time and even forgets he has a son."
"This child is so pitiful..."
No matter what these people talked about, the little boy didn't react at all, but just banged on the door silently.
The expression on his face was very cold, and his eyes were gloomy, which was not what a three or four-year-old child should look like.
Qin Moran stared at all this through the iron fence, not quite understanding what was happening.
Until another gust of cool wind blew, he couldn't help coughing a few times.
The servant who was guarding not far away immediately came forward and said, "Okay, young master, let's go back to the house, otherwise you will catch a cold again later."
Qin Moran was worried that he would get sick, so he quickly and obediently slid down from the stone.
The servant led him to the villa.
As Qin Moran walked, he couldn't help but look back.
The boy opposite had stopped banging on the door. He was now standing at the door with his head down, silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
The neighbors talked for a while and then went back to their rooms.
After all, it's someone else's family affair, and they can't possibly interfere.
Qin Moran looked back for a long time, then turned back and continued walking forward.
When Qin Moran followed the servant home, he unexpectedly ran into his mother calling his father.
It just looked like the two of them were not having a pleasant conversation.
Chen Ruolan paced back and forth in the living room, looking a little anxious.
"Qin Li'an, didn't you hear what I said? Your parents called me back and scolded me a few days ago, and now all kinds of reports are talking about our relationship. How are you going to deal with this?"
"Busy, busy, busy, this is always your only excuse."
"How many days have you not been home?"
"You're tired of me now, aren't you? If you don't want to live with me anymore, just say it. There's no need to be so secretive and try to avoid me..."
The person on the other end of the phone must have been busy, as he quickly hung up.
Chen Ruolan was a little overwhelmed for a moment and squatted down with her phone in hand.
Qin Moran stood aside and watched all this silently.
He didn't know what was going on, he only knew that his parents were arguing.
He knew that his mother probably wanted to be alone for a while, so he could only leave silently.
The other side.
Li Chi finally knocked on the door.
To be precise, it was his father Li Xingde who finally woke up from a nap and staggered out in slippers.
Li Xingde was still half awake when he ran into his gloomy-looking son as he walked out the door. He was startled: "Damn, you scared me to death. What are you doing standing here?"
Now I am completely awake from my sleepiness.
Li Chen glanced at him, walked around him silently and walked into the house.
Li Xingde turned around and looked at his son in the room with disgust.
Despite being so young, he always looks gloomy, as if someone owes him eight million.
Especially those eyes, which were particularly dark. When they looked at someone sinisterly, it really made people feel uncomfortable.
Li Xingde looked at him with disdain for a while, then turned around and went to play cards with his neighbor.
He has a few regular card-playing friends, and they get together every now and then to play a few rounds, otherwise he feels itchy.
After Li Chi entered the house, he began to look around for food.
He hadn't had lunch yet and was starving.
Their house looked shabby from the outside, but it was quite tidy and clean inside, with only a few pieces of furniture.
But it was too clean. Li Chi searched for a long time and only found some rice and flour, which were raw and inedible.
Li Chi was so hungry that his stomach started to hurt and his vision became a little dark.
He turned around and went out to find Li Xingde.
Here, Li Xingde and several of his friends have already started playing mahjong.
Several people were smoking, making the living room smoky.
After Li Chi entered, he coughed several times.
Li Xingde glanced at him sideways in the smoke: "Why did you follow me here?"
Li Chi moved closer and looked at him without saying a word.
Li Xingde urged, "Speak, are you mute?"
A fellow card player reminded him, "This kid must be hungry. He didn't eat lunch."
Li Xingde has been locking me outside the door, so I haven't had any food, right?
Hearing this, Li Xingde touched his mahjong and said nonchalantly, "Why would you eat so much, you little kid?"
Then he looked at Li Chi and said, "Get lost! Don't mess with my luck here!!"
One of the poker players couldn't bear it any longer: "How about, Lao Li, why don't you go back and make something for the kids?"
Li Xingde stared at the mahjong and said, "Let me play a few games first."
I don’t know when Li Chi left.
At this time, a fellow card player looked at Li Xingde with a smile: "Old Li, do you want to hear some good news?"
Li Xingde glanced at him and asked, "What's the good news?"
The poker player laughed and said, "My wife has a cousin who's divorced and has a child. Look, your wife ran away too, so why don't you two get together?"
Li Xingde's face instantly fell: "You think we're playing cards? And you're a couple. Don't do this nonsense."
Someone asked, "Are you afraid that Li Chi will be unhappy?"
Li Xingde said angrily, "I don't care whether he's happy or not. I'm just too lazy to find one. Women are just a nuisance. Why would I bring trouble home?"
To be honest, Li Xingde has become quite popular since his wife ran away, and people are trying to matchmake him with girls every now and then.
The main reason is that he has a good-looking face. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes when he was young. Even now, in his forties, he is still handsome and dashing.
Li Chi's mother was attracted by his face and insisted on marrying him despite her family's objections. Later, she suffered a loss.
Because Li Xingde is useless except for his good looks. He eats, drinks and gambles every day, and beats people every time he gets drunk.
Li Chi's mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she left Li Chi, who was still in her infancy, and ran away, leaving Li Chi alone in this broken home.
A fellow poker player commented, "If you ask me, it's our Lao Li who knows how to enjoy life. He lives his life to the fullest every day and doesn't care about anything else. How happy he is!"
Li Xingde picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking very proud.
Another person reminded him, "But Lao Li, I advise you to be nice to your Xiao Chi. He's very intelligent and knows everything. What if he holds a grudge against you when he grows up?"
Li Xingde spat out a mouthful of tea leaves: "He dares? He is my son for life, he dares not respect me? "
Seeing that he didn't like this topic, one of his fellow card players quickly said, "Okay, okay, everyone, stop talking so much and play cards!"
…
The other side.
Qin Moran came to the iron fence again.
Unexpectedly, he saw the boy again when he came this time.
This time, the boy was not at the old house, but sitting with his back to their fence.
Qin Moran stopped and hesitated whether to go over.
At this time, Li Chi, who was sitting by the fence, also noticed something and looked over suddenly.
This time the distance was closer, and Qin Moran could see Li Chi clearly.
Li Chi is indeed taller than his peers, but also thinner.
He has a cold white complexion and a good-looking appearance, but his eyes are very dark. When he stares at people, he looks cold and fierce.
His hair was a little long, as if it hadn't been trimmed for a long time. It was almost covering his eyes, creating a sharp contrast with his cold white skin.
Li Chen was dressed very casually, in a white short-sleeved shirt with a hole in it, and ill-fitting black pants that only reached below his calves. On his feet were a pair of worn-out canvas shoes that had been washed so much that their color could no longer be seen.
Qin Moran was a little scared by Li Chi's stare and didn't dare to speak. After standing silently for a while, he planned to leave.
But at this moment, he heard a sound of hunger coming from Li Chi.
Qin Moran paused hesitantly, then asked tentatively, "Are you hungry?"
The soft and sweet voice of a baby reveals a sense of innocence and cuteness. It is obvious that he is a child raised in a wealthy family.
Li Chi stared at him without saying anything.
Qin Moran repeated: "Do you want to eat?"
Li Chi not only didn't say anything, he also turned his head back.
Qin Moran: "..."
He pursed his lips and looked a little unhappy.
Why is this person ignoring others?
Then just ignore him!
Qin Moran turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, he heard the sound from Li Chi's stomach again.
He still couldn't help but turn his head to look.
At this moment, Li Chi didn't know if he was very hungry. He covered his stomach with one hand and seemed to be in pain. However, he forced himself to hold on and didn't show anything. His face still had that cold expression.
Qin Moran couldn't understand why this person was so persistent.
But he knew that being hungry was a very uncomfortable thing, because in his previous life, when he was punished by his parents and could not eat, he was also very hungry and painful, and even could not sleep at night.
Qin Moran has a strong sense of empathy.
He looked at Li Chi, who was hungry at the moment, as if he could empathize with his hunger.
But the other party ignored him.
Qin Moran pursed his lips and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll get you something to eat."
After saying that, he ran towards the villa in the distance.
He was wearing a pair of yellow overalls and a small yellow hat today, which was a very eye-catching color.
The color went away, and after a while, it moved closer to Li Chi until it was right in front of him.
Qin Moran was very tired from running, panting heavily, and his little face was a little red.
He returned to the iron fence, reached out his hand from the gap, and handed Li Chi two small loaves of bread and a carton of milk: "Here, I just brought these from home."
The little girl's face is very red, and her eyes are bright and enthusiastic.
However, Li Chi still leaned against the iron fence without saying a word.
Qin Moran didn't know why this person was always silent, but he still put the bread and milk next to Li Chi and said in a baby voice, "Eat it, and you won't feel uncomfortable after eating it."
Li Chi didn't move.
Qin Moran had no choice. He had done what he should do, and he couldn't take care of the rest.
So he stood up straight, took one last look at Li Chi, and left.
Come to think of it, he didn't even know the boy's name.
But judging by the boy's expression, he definitely won't tell him.
A few more days passed.
Qin Moran passed by the iron fence again.
This time, of course, I didn’t see Li Chi again.
However, the milk and bread he had placed there a few days ago were also gone.
I don’t know whether it was taken away by the garbage collector or eaten by the boy.
