Chapter 1347: The Price
"Uncle. ”
"Huh?"
"Why...... To do something like that?"
After staring at the box of puzzle toys in his arms and being silent for a while, a sentence came out of the little boy's mouth that silenced Director Li.
His hand clenched his cane quietly.
After a while, the smile on the middle-aged face reappeared, and he turned to the little boy and said, "Didn't you promise your uncle not to think about what happened just now? That's a bad thing, so don't think about it." ”
"But, the memory is there, even if I say that I don't think about it anymore, uncle, you should know, I actually remember that incident, right?"
Director Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the little boy's eyes becoming more and more strange, strange and complicated.
He found that this child was indeed not like an ordinary child, could it be that children who grew up in special families were so precocious?
Sometimes precociousness is a good thing, but more often than not, precocious puberty is an absolute bad thing for a child.
Because that means that they have to face the real cruelty of this world with a young heart.
For example, the previous scene.
If the person who did this today was replaced by anyone else, Director Li might not let go of the other party easily.
But when he saw the short figure coming out of the office toilet with his head bowed and restrained, his first reaction was to quickly grab the blazer next to him and put it on.
At least for the child, he wanted to do his best to leave something good.
Bad people are not necessarily downright bad, and some people, even if they are bad, have their own principles to adhere to.
"Of course Uncle knows, it's unlikely that you will forget about it all at once. But if neither you nor I talk about it again, sooner or later you will slowly forget about it. That's what Uncle wants you to do. ”
In the face of Director Li's words, the little boy nodded as if he didn't understand, and then suddenly asked, "That big sister just now...... Is she a star?"
Director Li frowned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, looked at the black head, and nodded with a sigh: "Hmm!"
"That's right. ”
Fortunately, the little boy didn't continue to ask questions like why the big sister came to his office, which really made Director Li feel relieved.
The old and the young sat silently on the benches in the hallway.
It wasn't until Director Li looked at the time on his watch again that the sound of hurried footsteps reached their ears.
"W-That!
The little boy turned his head to look at Han Yishi who ran over, and walked down from the bench, before he could speak, he was hugged tightly by Han Yishi who was squatting down.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt or something? What the hell is going on? As soon as I came out of the conference room, I heard that you were in trouble?"
Hearing his mother's questions, the little boy who was holding her in her arms blinked his eyes, and was thinking about how to answer, when he heard Director Li on the side say: "It's okay, screenwriter Han, it's just a little misunderstanding, and now it's been solved." ”
The opening of the head of the room made the mother and son both turn their eyes to him.
As soon as she saw this middle-aged man with a cane in his hand and a big belly, Han Yishi couldn't help pursing her mouth, and her eyes were full of vigilance.
She hugged her son, squatted on the ground and bowed her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry...... Director Li, my son has caused you trouble. ”
Seeing the appearance of the young female screenwriter in front of him, Director Li seemed to understand what she was thinking, and after laughing at himself imperceptibly, he took the initiative to retreat a little with his cane, and at the same time said without being salty: "Hmm." I had a bit of a cold today, so I didn't go to the meeting just now. How's it going?"
"Look at everyone's reaction...... I should be quite satisfied with my proposal. ”
"That's good. ”
Director Li's words made Han Yishi stunned, and she was just about to look up when she heard the middle-aged man knock on the ground with a cane and say, "Then be it." You go back and wait for the notification first, and we will call you tomorrow at the latest to inform you of the result. ”
"Oh...... Good. Then I'll take my leave. Although she was surprised that Director Li would expose this matter so lightly, such a result was undoubtedly the situation that Han Yishi wanted the most, she quickly nodded, and then breathed a sigh of relief, ready to pick up her son and leave.
"Doll, wait. ”
Unexpectedly, she was just about to pick up her son, and the little boy broke free from her arms slightly, and then walked all the way to Director Li under the slightly stunned gazes of Han Yishi and Director Li.
Under the gaze of the two adults, the little boy squatted down calmly, stretched out his little hand and knocked on the prosthetic leg of Room Chief Li.
"Tu, tu" two soft sounds, in the nervous expression of Han Yishi's tense face, Director Li looked down at the child squatting on the ground, but did not show any anger, but his eyes softened imperceptibly.
Then, the little boy stood up again, approached Director Li, and deliberately said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Goodbye, uncle." ”
The corners of Director Li's mouth were slightly hooked, he lowered his head, and said softly: "Goodbye." But your doll won't want you to see me again. ”
"There's always a chance. And also...... Thank you, I said this for my mother. ”
A hint of surprise suddenly welled up on Director Li's face.
"You deliberately didn't go to the meeting to make my doll feel at ease, right? I just listened to you carefully, and you didn't catch a cold. ”
After hearing this whisper in his ear, Director Li watched in amazement as the little boy bowed to him and then turned around and ran back into his mother's arms.
It wasn't until the mother and son disappeared from his sight that an involuntary chuckle rang out in the empty hallway.
The laughter was a little pleasant, but also a little unspeakably lonely.
Unexpectedly, others were respectful of him because of those rumors, but it was so ...... that such a child who just met today could understand his heart People don't know whether it's better to be happy or sad.
Director Li grabbed the cane in his hand, and was about to turn around and go back to the office, but he couldn't help but glance at the direction the little boy left, and muttered to himself:
"This kid ...... Being too smart only makes people worry about him even more. I hope today's events won't have a big impact on him. Even if I'm dirty alone, I can't pull a clean child down......"
……
"Doll mom. ”
"Huh?"
"Does a person have to pay the so-called price for what he wants to get?"
Han Yishi, who was sitting on the bus with her son in her arms, looked down at him in surprise, obviously not expecting him to ask such a deep question, after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Yes." After all, who in this world except your family will help you for no reason? ”
The little boy looked thoughtfully ahead.
