17. Chapter 17
Xu Xiaoai looked at her phone, a little confused.
She probably understood his resolute character, although she only gave a faint "um", but with his action, I am afraid that he will rush over as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoai suddenly slapped her head in annoyance, and couldn't help but secretly scold herself for being stupid!
yes, why did she call him directly? She can find Li Rui!
Xu Xiaoai was so angry at her stupidity that her internal organs hurt.
After about ten minutes, a very abrupt "ding" sound came from nowhere, which startled Xu Xiaoai!
She turned her head in horror to find him coming out of the corner behind the front desk.
There......
Is there a secret door?
Perhaps it was the fear in her eyes that the man's gaze softened a little softer than usual.
But it was only for his gaze.
"Dong Zhou, I'm ......" Xu Xiaoai opened her mouth uneasily.
The man had already passed by.
It looked like he was walking in the direction of the court, and after a few steps he stopped to look at her.
"Come here."
He commanded her.
It's all this time, and he still asked her to go back to the palace? Could it be ...... He wants to finish what he couldn't accomplish just now?
Xu Xiaoai was anxious.
"Huh?"
The man let out a nasal voice of displeasure.
Xu Xiaoai had no choice but to follow.
Lowering his head, he followed him to the entrance of the palace, Xu Xiaoai was so worried that he didn't notice that he had stopped......
She slammed into it.
"Ahh
Xu Xiaoai covered her aching nose and looked up at him in embarrassment.
The man glanced at her.
He reached out and pressed it a few times, opening a window-like dark grid, and then pressed it a few more times...... It's like typing a password.
Soon, something strange popped out of the darkness.
"Look at it."
The man commanded her succinctly.
It was a laser-red orb that spun around and poked out to her face...... Then it suddenly moved, and then began to sway from side to side, as if trying to find something on her face, and kept "clicking" a slight probing.
Xu Xiaoai was frightened and didn't dare to move.
Although she didn't dare to move, her eyes kept staring at the red ball......
Seeing her jewel-like eyes spinning in circles, and looking shocked, the corners of the man's mouth suddenly twitched slightly......
Xu Xiaoai heard a clear "click" sound.
The red ball suddenly retracted automatically.
"It's iris access control," the man said briefly, "...... In the future, you don't have to use a card to enter and exit. ”
Xu Xiaoai stared at the thing and let out an "oh".
The man turned and walked outside.
Xu Xiaoai hesitated and chased after him.
He led her to a few meters behind the front desk, and Xu Xiaoai noticed that there was a crystal searchlight on the edge of the ceiling...... But such crystal searchlights are spread all over almost all the corridors.
Chou Dong stood in front of the wall, like facing the wall......
"Ding!"
With a soft sound, the automatic door opened.
Xu Xiaoai was dumbfounded.
The man walked into the elevator, frowned and urged her, "Don't go?" ”
She came back to her senses and hurriedly walked into the elevator.
He didn't make any moves.
But the elevator doors closed automatically......
A slight sense of weightlessness came, and Xu Xiaoai knew that the elevator had slowly sunk.
The enclosed space was eerily quiet.
Xu Xiaoai could clearly hear his heartbeat and breathing, and he could also smell the faint smell of tobacco wafting from him......
She lowered her head and stared at the toes of her shoes.
"Ding!"
The elevator doors slowly opened.
The man raised his feet and left, and Xu Xiaoai also came out.
I looked around for a while......
She recognized the parking lot, but the man was already walking away.
Xu Xiaoai looked at his distant back and hesitated for a moment - do you want to catch up and thank him and say goodbye?
However, this thought was still strangled to death by her in the cradle......
Shake M?
She turned her head to look at the sign and walked towards the exit in the opposite direction.
A black sedan stopped beside her from far and near, the door opened automatically, and Xu Xiaoai saw the man's side face.
"Chou Dong, I ......"
"Get in the car." The man interrupted her.
Xu Xiaoai sighed, "Dong Zhou, I'm going back to pick up my daughter......"
He didn't speak, his eyes were cold.
She had no choice but to get into the car.
He steered the car out of the underground garage and sped away in a certain direction.
Xu Xiaoai was a little uneasy.
The direction in which he drove was obviously the direction of her house.
"Dong Zhou, I, I can take a taxi by myself." She couldn't help but say.
The man remained silent.
Xu Xiaoai glanced at him secretly.
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other elbow resting on the edge of the window, he seemed to be very laid-back, but in fact the car was blazingly fast.
Usually, Xu Xiaoai takes an hour to travel by bus, and it takes about ten minutes to arrive.
The car was parked at the kindergarten at the entrance of the community, Mengmeng was carrying a small schoolbag, crying and holding the hand of the young female teacher, and kept looking out......
"Moe Moe!" Xu Xiaoai was so anxious that before he could park the car, he poked his head out of the window, called out to his daughter, and hurriedly got out of the car.
Meng Meng looked over this way......
"Mommy!"
The little girl was so aggrieved that she began to cry.
"Meng Meng Mom, how can you be like this! What time is it...... I know you're busy with work, but I also have elderly people and children at home, if you can't come over in time to pick up Mengmeng, at least give me a call......" The female teacher kept complaining about Xu Xiaoai.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Xu Xiaoai apologized vigorously.
"Daddy?"
Meng Meng suddenly shouted in surprise and ran towards the man.
"Meng Meng Mom, remember my phone number! Next time, give me a call in advance...... I don't have to stand here and wait all the time, at least let Mengmeng go to my house for a while, and then pick her up at my house when you're done...... It's not that I said you, a child as young as Mengmeng, it's when the personality is stereotyped, you leave her in the kindergarten and don't care, the child will be insecure......"
The female teacher kept teaching Xu Xiaoai, and Xu Xiaoai humbly accepted the criticism while noting down the teacher's mobile phone number.
After seeing the teacher leave, Xu Xiaoai turned her head to look at her daughter......
The man's car was parked on the side of the road, the door was wide open, and the pink little ball with a small schoolbag had automatically climbed onto the man's lap and sat down, looking at him with a look of admiration on his face.
The little girl's eyes were still shining, and she was talking to him in a milky voice.
Xu Xiaoai was a little stunned.
This man usually looks cold, doesn't smile, and when he doesn't speak, he makes people feel low in pressure, and his momentum makes people dare not even take a breath!
But like this, in the face of the pink dumplings sitting on his lap, he actually felt stiff and helpless?
Xu Xiaoai couldn't hold back, and laughed.
“…… Dad is better than daddy! Will you pick up Meng Meng tomorrow? Xiao Ming said...... Meng Meng has no dad than her, Meng Meng and Mommy are children that no one wants...... You come over tomorrow to pick up Mengmeng, let all the children know that Mengmeng is compared to Dad, okay? Meng Meng opened a pair of bright big eyes that sparkled, and said in a milky voice.
Xu Xiaoai couldn't laugh.
"Moe Moe!" Xu Xiaoai stopped Meng Meng's coquettishness, and Zhengse said, "Come here and say goodbye to your uncle...... We're going back! ”
The little girl looked at the man and then at Mommy, a little reluctant.
Xu Xiaoai shouted again in an unkind tone.
The little girl flattened her mouth, reluctantly slipped off Dong Chou's body, pulled her furry head, and walked to Xu Xiaoai's side in disappointment.
"Thank you, Jay Chou."
After speaking, Xu Xiaoai pulled Mengmeng away.
The man didn't speak.
At night, the street lamps on both sides of the street emit a hazy orange light, stretching the shadows of the mother and daughter longer and longer.
After a long silence, the man suddenly got out of the car and chased after him.
When she walked to the door of the community, Xu Xiaoai hesitated and walked into the noodle restaurant with her daughter. It's already past eight o'clock now, and Mengmeng hasn't eaten dinner yet, so if she goes home and cooks again, she will have to delay for at least half an hour......
Soon, the shopkeeper brought two large bowls of noodles with a smile.
Xu Xiaoai patiently taught her daughter to use chopsticks to roll the long and fluffy noodles into small balls, and then stuff them into her mouth to eat.
The little girl studied very seriously.
Xu Xiaoai took the opportunity to crush the fried poached egg with chopsticks and stuffed it into her daughter's mouth little by little.
"What do you want for you, sir?"
The shopkeeper was surprised to see the handsome and noble man in black standing silently by the counter, looking at the mother and daughter who were eating noodles in the corner.
"Daddy!"
Meng Meng found the man and shouted happily with the noodles in her mouth.
The man walked towards them.
"Daddy! Come over here and sit with Mengmeng...... Shall we meet together...... The noodles are very good! Meng Meng looked at the man with an envious face, and said in a milky voice.
The man sat down across from the mother and daughter.
Xu Xiaoai looked at him with an uncomfortable expression.
But the man's attention was all on the little girl, but he didn't pay attention to her.
The shopkeeper came over to ask a few questions, and soon brought a bowl of noodles.
"Daddy! Look, look at the cute ......"
The little girl is very talkative and chatters to let the men see how she eats the noodles...... The little girl first held a chopstick in one hand, clamped the noodles and then closed the chopsticks, and then helped with both hands, and rolled the noodles very quickly.
The man couldn't help but smile slightly.
Meng Meng was very proud, and after stuffing the noodle roll into her mouth, she tilted her head and waited for Dabi's praise.
However, the man turned his head and glanced at Xu Xiaoai.
He took a bite of the noodles with his chopsticks and quickly put them down.
In fact, Xu Xiaoai didn't want her daughter to have too much intersection with this man, so she urged her daughter to finish eating noodles, whispered goodbye to the man, and paid the bill and left.
The man sat quietly in the noodle shop until late at night......
