Chapter 120 Running away at midnight



The moonlight is bright, the river is sparkling, and there are fishing lights dotted here and there.

Chen Xingling was sitting by the window filling out a few test papers that were handed out before school was over. Little Huzi was standing on a small stool next to him, flipping through books on the bookshelf.

Seeing that there was no danger, Chen Xingling did not stop him and let him play around.

"Mom!" Little Tiger suddenly asked, "What is 'Thousand Horses'?"

Chen Xingling was slightly stunned when he saw him holding a thick book and reading it.

"A thousand-foot horse originally refers to a fine horse that can run very fast and travel a thousand miles a day. Later, it was often used to describe talented and capable people."

Little Huzi let out a long "Oh" and continued reading.

Chen Xingling couldn't help but laugh when he saw his cute and focused look.

"Can you understand this book? Where is the children's story book your uncle bought for you?"

Little Tiger nodded: "I've finished reading it. I understand most of the words, but I don't quite understand some of them when put together. It's easier to understand when there are above and below in the book."

Chen Xingling suppressed his laughter and explained, "It should be said that it is easier to understand with the help of upper and lower 㫧."

"Oh oh." Little Tiger said seriously: "Yes, that's what I mean."

Seeing that he was behaving like a little adult, Chen Xingling was amused by him again.

"How are you doing in kindergarten these days? Are you happy?"

"Happy." Little Tiger answered: "I am also unhappy. I am happy playing with my brothers and sisters, but I am unhappy when the teacher is teaching."

"Why?" Chen Xingling asked curiously, "Haven't you always liked the kindergarten teacher?"

Little Tiger pouted and shook his head: "I don't like it now. They teach the same few words over and over again. Also, they only teach 1 to 10 and don't teach the others. The class is too boring. I don't like it. I just want to go out and play."

"Uh..." Chen Xingling had no choice but to say, "Then just play by yourself and don't listen carefully."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt secretly amused and helpless.

How many mothers in the world would teach their sons not to take classes seriously? Haha~~haha!

Little Tiger took it seriously and nodded: "Okay, Mom."

Chen Xingling continued to fill out the test paper, while the little guy was flipping through a book on the other side, occasionally scribbling with Gu Qi's pen.

It was not until the little guy yawned that Chen Xingling realized that the small clock on the table showed that it was past nine o'clock.

"Huzi, drink some water and then go to the bathroom."

Little Tiger put down the book and rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands.

"Can I go to bed now? Mom, I'm sleepy."

Chen Xingling pushed the little guy and coaxed him, "Go quickly, mom will make your bed for you."

Little Tiger ran out.

Chen Xingling pulled out a small wooden bed from under the bed, spread a straw mat on it and put a small pillow on it.

The small bed given by my brothers is in the small room, and is now occupied by my mother-in-law and Qin Tiantian.

When Gu Qi was not around, Xiao Huzi could sleep with her. But after being separated from her for more than ten days, the little guy suddenly got used to sleeping alone.

Chen Xingling remembered Gu Qi's instructions before he came, and simply quietly found a children's wooden bed and a small pillow from the supermarket space for him to sleep on.

Try to have your child sleep in a separate bed before having him/her room, so that he/she can practice a little independence with her company, and then start having his/her room in a separate bed. Don't be too anxious.

She asked the little guy why he suddenly liked to sleep alone. He explained aggrievedly that when he first slept at his grandparents' house, the two old people deliberately held him beside them when he slept.

Unexpectedly, grandpa always snored, as loudly as thunder, which kept him awake.

Later, his grandmother took him to sleep next door, but he disliked that his grandmother didn't smell like his mother, so he didn't let her get too close.

Finally, the grandmother could only wait for him to fall asleep and then go back to sleep in the next room. Days passed, and the little guy unknowingly learned to sleep alone.

Little Tiger came running back in his little pants and climbed onto his own little bed swiftly.

Chen Xingling closed the door and asked, "Did you drink some water? Did you pee?"

"Hmm." The little guy slept sideways, twisted his chubby body, and then said mysteriously: "Mom, Aunt Tiantian is out."

Chen Xingling said "Oh" inadvertently, thinking that Qin Tiantian was now getting along well with Guo Shijing, and they were probably on a date again, so he didn't take it to heart.

She covered the little guy's belly and turned around to do the test paper.

At around ten o'clock, she folded the test paper, put away her pen, and was about to go to bed.

"Hu Zi's mom! Hu Zi's mom!" Li Ying's anxious voice came from outside the door.

Chen Xingling was afraid that her loud voice would wake up her son, so she quickly opened the door and went out.

Li Ying was seen wearing a thin shirt and with messy hair, as if she was woken up in the middle of a sleep, and her chubby face was full of anxiety and helplessness.

"Mom, why are you making so much noise so late at night? Huzi is asleep, don't wake him up."

Li Ying cried out “Ouch” twice and said hurriedly, “Oh no! Oh no! Tiantian is dead!”

Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Ying ran to the door of the small room and pointed inside.

"Look! She took all her luggage with her! Not a single thing is missing! She was still there before I went to bed, but I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't gotten up to go to the bathroom!"

What? !

Chen Xingling walked over quickly and found that Qin Tiantian's two travel bags were gone, and the messy clothes hanging on the clothes hanger had also disappeared. The originally messy room seemed more spacious now that most of the things were missing.

"She... disappeared? Did she say where she was going?"

Li Ying hurriedly explained: "She came back in the evening. I told her that she had to go back to the capital, but she kept saying no. I listened to you, so of course she refused. I told her that no matter what she wanted to do here, she had to let her parents know. I brought her out, and I have to take her back."

"Then what?" Chen Xingling asked with a frown.

Li Ying waved her hands: "Then she stopped talking, and I went to sleep, and then - then when I woke up she was gone!"

Chen Xingling felt annoyed after hearing this.

It's really a cycle of one thing after another!

Li Ying still looked innocent and asked: "Huzi's mother, what should we do now?"

Chen Xingling thought about it calmly and answered, "It's so late now, it's definitely not safe for her to go out alone. She just came to Yucheng and is not very familiar with the streets outside. The only place she is most familiar with is the shipyard. She...she is probably going back to the guesthouse."

It was late at night, and it was impossible for Qin Tiantian to run to find Guo Shijing with so many bags.

She probably wants to take this opportunity to show weakness and pretend to be pitiful in front of the man, so as to promote the relationship and go to the next level.

Compared to strong and arrogant women, most men prefer Qin Tiantian, a sweet girl who is pitiful. She is so scheming that Guo Shijing will soon fall into her gentleness.

The only place to stay nearby was the guesthouse on the east side of the gate. She should have gone back there as she was familiar with the place, but she was unwilling to give up like this and wanted to strike while the iron was hot to take down Guo Shijing.

Li Ying asked sleepily, "Then-what should we do? Should we go look for it?"

Chen Xingling never had any hope for this mother-in-law, because she was not someone he could rely on at all.

"Let Ah Yi get up and go to the guesthouse with her work ID. If you are sure she is staying there, ignore her for now. Tomorrow morning I will take you to make a phone call and tell the old couple Qin Jianqiao about this matter immediately and let them make the decision themselves."

In this situation, Qin Tiantian definitely doesn't want to go back to her hometown. No matter what, she must tell her parents first so as not to leave any handle for them to use against her.

"Right, right, right!" Li Ying said with a smile, "This way they can't blame me! It was Tiantian who didn't want to go back, so it's not my fault."

Chen Xingling gestured: "Call Ah Yi up right now."

"Hey!" Li Ying hurriedly did as he was told.
