Chapter 005: A Helpless Lie

When the old man rushed to Bai Jingge's residence with Yan Jiu, he found that there was no one at her house, and he slapped his thigh violently, "Oops, I must have been taken away by that female ghost." ”

Yan Jiu couldn't help frowning, and asked uncertainly: "Is the person you are looking for really reliable?" But don't be a nervous and crazy woman, I can say ugly things in the front, if it is someone I hate, no matter what, I will not cooperate with her. ”

"No, it's a very good girl. The old man thought to himself, you kid, Jingge's identity is unusual, no matter how you say it, it won't be bad, you still pray that she doesn't dislike you. If it weren't for your spiritual power, I would have beaten me up for talking like this.

The corners of Yan Jiu's mouth twitched, his eyebrows tightened, no matter what the other party said, it didn't sound very reliable. But he thought about it, and he didn't bother to care. Anyway, he made up his mind, he would see how people were doing later, if it was the kind of person who made him disgusted to the point of disgusting, even if she had yin and yang eyes, clairvoyance, he would refuse this condition.

Slowly pacing into the room, Yan Jiu looked at Bai Jingge's residence, there was no so-called hall, after entering through the door, there was a bathroom on the left hand, and a simple kitchen on the right. On the stovetop is a pan on one side and a pot on the other. Next to it is a set of pink kitchenware??? pink basin, pink spatula, pink chopstick cage, pink spoon, pink bowl, pink cutting board......

So many pink things? Yan Jiu couldn't help but mutter: "How old is the other party, why does he still like pink? Isn't she a primary school student, she should be an adult who can live alone, then she is really a bad taste." Like...... Pink? It's kind of cheesy. ”

"Hey, how old is that successor you're looking for?" he couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, the old man suddenly narrowed his eyes, and he looked up and down at the young man in front of him, what a jade tree is in the wind, but it's a pity...... Forget it, he sighed that he had this terrible idea. Then he sighed and replied in short: "Twenty-four." ”

Hearing this, Yan Jiu's brows furrowed and he was sullen.

Inside, there is a large coffee-colored sofa with a cushion of beige florals. In front is a white coffee table with a huge bunch of pink stars. Further inside, there was a large bed, still covered with pink sheets, facing a large balcony.

Forehead...... Twenty-four? Pink?

Yan Jiu immediately equated it with the poor ghost who liked bad tastes, he couldn't help but show a disdainful smile, leaned on the door frame, looked at the old man, and asked, "Then what should we do now, are we waiting for her here, or are we going out to find her?"

"Go out and find her. ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man quickly walked through the door and galloped away, and Yan Jiu followed helplessly.

Bai Jingge raised her head, and suddenly saw a figure appear in the mirror, and the other party's expressions of worry, sadness, and self-blame all fell into her eyes.

She choked up and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Chen, in fact, I am also an orphan, I haven't even seen my parents' appearance, so seeing Xiao Chen's appearance today reminds me of what happened when I was a child, and it is a little sad." Don't worry, since I promised to help you, I will help you to the end, and leave Xiaochen's affairs to me. ”

Hearing this, the female ghost pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, that smile was like a bitter tea chilled in summer, although it quenched her thirst, but it was bitter to the extreme, and the taste stayed in her throat and continued to last.

Out of the bathroom door, Bai Jingge took a deep breath, put a smile on his face, and quickly walked back to his place, "How about it, is the burger delicious? If you don't have enough, you can order two, as well as fries and chicken wings." ”

"It's delicious, this is enough, thank you, sister, by the way, this is finished, can we go to our mother?" Xiao Chen's face was full of anticipation when he said this, and there were still crumbs of bread on his bulging face.

Bai Jingge stretched out his hand and gently wiped the things off his face, not daring to look at the other party's eyes, and asked tentatively: "If, Xiao Chen, I mean what if, if your mother goes to a far away place and never comes back, what will you do?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen was suddenly stunned, and a mouthful of burgers squeezed his cheeks bulging, as if food scraps were still in his throat, he swallowed, "I ......" Before the words were spoken, he immediately lowered his head and coughed.

Bai Jingge, who was on the other side, hurriedly went over and patted him on the back in a panic, picked up the boiled water on the table, and said apologetically: "Sister, it's just a joke, don't get excited." ”

Xiao Chen blushed, one hand touched his chest, the other hand propped up the table, coughing non-stop.

"Drink saliva first. Saying that, Bai Jingge hurriedly handed the warm boiled water to Xiao Chen's mouth, and the other party hurriedly held it with both hands and poured water into it with "grunt".

After drinking a glass of water, Xiao Chen felt much better, and Bai Jingge saw that his tears were choking, and his guilt deepened. Hurriedly reassured: "I was just joking with you just now, you don't care, right?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and signaled that he was fine.

His sensibility and understanding can't help but make Bai Jingge feel distressed, five or six years old should be a naughty and innocent and fun-loving age, and she can't see these in the other party at all. Bai Jingge doesn't remember when she came to the orphanage, only that she has been there for as long as she can remember. Since I was a child, I have always lived with the dean. She had a very happy childhood, with a doting dean and vice president at home, and many good friends in the kindergarten, the most important thing being that she and Gao Dingcheng.

Thinking of Gao Dingcheng, Bai Jingge's heart was lost, for this "fiancΓ©" who grew up, she didn't bully a lot, but how to say it, she likes Gao Dingcheng, but she doesn't like it. But she still agreed to this marriage, she has her own calculations, and she will go her own way after the matter is completed. During the day, Wen Jun helped to reject the marriage proposal, and he didn't know what happened to the other party, thinking of this, Bai Jingge had mixed feelings in his heart......

"How can you run around at night?"

The old man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Bai Jingge was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained after recovering from his trance: "No, that eldest sister just asked me to help her find her child, I told you that I was fortunate that I came out to find it, otherwise this poor little poor wouldn't know how to be bullied?"

"Wait, wait a minute, you mean my mom went to find you, don't you, then you must know where my mom is?" Xiao Chen turned around and asked with an earnest face, and continued to cough dryly twice after speaking. Two black grape-like eyes stared at Bai Jingge.

"No, it's not. Bai Jingge was speechless for a while, she couldn't help but sigh, scratched her head, and regretted her slip of the tongue just now. She stole a look around and was relieved to see that no one had noticed her gaffe.

Then he looked at the old man with an unhappy face, "shhhhh Then he turned to Xiao Chen and explained: "Didn't my sister just say, your mother called me, well, in this way, before she comes back, I will take you to a place first, and then you will wait for her there, okay?"

"Why do you lie to a child, and tell him the truth directly? The old man stood aside and interrupted nonchalantly.

"You know what, you can't tell him. Bai Jingge suddenly shouted at the old man, and at this time, the other customers in the store stretched their heads over, and a group of people who ate melons couldn't help but whisper: "What's the matter with that mother? How can you be so fierce to the child?"

Bai Jingge waved her hand embarrassedly when she realized it, and smiled wryly, at this time she really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get into it.

"Xiaochen, don't run around, wait here for a while, sister, I'll go out and call your mother and ask her to come and pick you up." Bai Jingge solemnly instructed, and Xiao Chen nodded obediently.

Outside the door, Bai Jingge turned into an inconspicuous alley next to him, and said to the old man with an unhappy face: "Can you not interrupt the side when I speak?"

The old man Nunu mouthed, feeling a little aggrieved, and couldn't help but explain: "I just want to remind you not to lie, can you deceive him for a while, can you deceive him for a lifetime?"

"What do you know? Do you know how children feel after losing their parents? Even if it's a lie, as long as you know that your parents are still there, that expectation is the motivation to continue living. Speaking of this, Bai Jingge's nose was sore, she tilted her head to the side, lifted her sleeve, and rudely wiped her tears.

The old man's face was hidden in the darkness, Bai Jingge's words undoubtedly spoke to his heart, he knew that Bai Jingge's parents in the world were long gone, but ...... It's just that he worries that it is too womanly and not conducive to the work of soul ferrying.

At this time, Bai Jingge suddenly squatted down, buried her face in her knees, and couldn't cry: "Do you know? I have never seen my parents since I can remember, and the dean said that my parents fell into the cliff and died. I don't believe it, how I wish the dean he was lying to me. For a child, as long as there is hope, even a little bit, it is worth looking forward to. ”

"But the lie will eventually be punctured one day, and at that time, won't it be more painful?" The old man's voice suddenly aged a lot when he said this, although he was originally an old man, but this sentence had a sense of vicissitudes and helplessness in the world.

Bai Jingge stood up slowly, there were tears in her eyes, crystal clear under the light of the faint lights on the side of the road, that look was very pure, like snow on an iceberg, white and flawless. She took a step closer to the old man and said firmly: "Tell him when his mind is mature, at that time the strong heart was enough to bear this, but not now, the heart of a five or six-year-old child is very fragile, I can't ...... it."

Xiaochen's mother stood aside with teary eyes, and the old man looked at her and asked a few questions. Then he sighed and said to Bai Jingge: "Since she also agreed, then this matter will be left to you to decide." ”

"Hmm!"

Bai Jingge wiped her tears indiscriminately, ran back to the store, just pushed the door open, and looked in Xiao Chen's direction with an excited face, but to her surprise......
