Chapter 19: Red Bean Soup and Photographs

At six o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Qu Xi hummed a little song happily, packed up his things and prepared to get off work. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, without Zhang Xiaohua's chatter by her side, I am really not used to it.

I don't know what's wrong with this girl, she suddenly took a personal leave and disappeared, and she didn't even reply to WeChat.

While walking towards the bus stop, Qu Xi took out his mobile phone and sent Wu Shuang WeChat.

"Shuangshuang, I'll come back later today, you have to be good at home, don't open the door to strangers."

Wu Shuangshu smiled: "I'm not a child again." ”

Qu Xi looked at Wu Shuang's reply with satisfaction, his eyes were crooked, and the quiet and indifferent smile on his face made the passers-by next to him look sideways slightly.

From a distance, he saw a small figure waiting under the bus stop, Qu Xi walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and touched Xia Luo's little head.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Charlotte's eyes flashed, and she whispered, "It won't be long......"

"Fortunately, my sister's company never works overtime, haha." Qu Xi was in a very happy mood, took Xia Luo's little hand and asked, "Luo'er, you lead the way?" ”

Xia Luo nodded, gently took Qu Xi's hand and walked forward.

Along the way, the clusters of high-rise buildings gradually became less and less in favor of some dilapidated bungalows. Further afield, there are some tube buildings that have fallen into disrepair.

Xia Luo led Qu Xi to stop in front of a building, and said in a thin voice: "Sister Qu, my house has arrived." ”

On the way here, Xia Luo already knew Qu Xi's name, so the title was changed from "sister" to "sister Qu".

Qu Xi looked at the small building full of cracks and weeds in the corner, and smiled undiminishedly: "Okay, then let's go up." ”

A smile finally appeared on Charlotte's face, and she nodded heavily: "Okay! ”

After that, she eagerly grabbed Qu Xi's hand, wanting to take her upstairs. At this time, an old man with slightly white hair and a red Tang suit suddenly came out of the small building, touching his bulging belly, looking like he had just eaten a lot.

Xia Luo seemed to be a little scared, and with a shake of her footsteps, she shrank behind Qu Xi.

Qu Xi turned sideways and silently Xia Luo's head: "It's okay, it's just the old man." ”

"Yes, yes," the uncle obviously saw this scene, and said with relief, "Xia Luo, this child, why is he still so afraid of life?" Uncle Wang is not a big bad wolf. ”

It turned out to be a neighbor I knew. Qu Xi bowed slightly to the uncle, and led Xia Luo up.

When she went upstairs, some people came down one after another, and Qu Xi carefully found that as long as someone approached, Charlotte would stick to her back, her hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, and her body trembled slightly.

This girl is really timid.

Qu Xi felt that Charlotte was very cute more and more.

Arriving at a door at the end of the third floor, Charlotte pulled a bunch of keys out of her pants pocket and opened the door a little awkwardly.

"Sister Qu, please come in." Charlotte's voice was low.

Qu Xi walked in.

However, as soon as she stepped in, a sense of déjà vu suddenly came over her.

I have to say that this is a room that will never be compromised with "neatness". In the small space, there are wooden tables and plastic chairs piled high with clutter, and the floor is wooden, but all cracked.

In this cluttered environment, the only thing that can be related to cleanliness is a small bed in the corner. It was only a meter wide, and on it was a somewhat washed red bear.

Looks like Charlotte usually sleeps here.

Qu Xi glanced at a closed door on the left, guessing that it should be Charlotte's mother's bedroom.

"At home, there is a bit ......of a mess at home" Charlotte brought a small chair and chose a slightly neater area to put down, allowing Qu Xi to sit down.

"It's okay." Qu Xi wanted to calm down his voice, but he still trembled a little.

Images flashed in front of her eyes, but she forced herself to ignore them.

"Sister Qu, you sit here first," Xia Luo wrung her hands and muttered, "I'll serve you the red bean soup I made......

Red bean soup?

Qu Xi smiled.

But at the same time, I felt a trace of distress.

Has such a young child already begun to step into the kitchen......

After a while, Xia Luo carefully brought out a bowl of red bean soup and delivered it to Qu Xi.

"Sister Qu, do you taste it...... " Xia Luo opened a pair of big eyes that were full of light, and asked Qu Xi with some expectation.

Qu Xi scooped up a bite and put it in his mouth.

"It's delicious!" She smiled widely.

"Really?" The expression on Charlotte's face finally came alive.

Qu Xi nodded heavily.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Charlotte that the red beans weren't soaked soft enough and cooked not glutinous enough.

"Sister Qu likes it!" Charlotte smiled happily.

Qu Xi put it into his mouth one after another, his eyes swept away, but he found that there was actually a black lace bra hanging on the chair next to him, the style was still a little peculiar?

She raised her eyebrows and asked softly, "Luo'er, can you tell my sister where Luo'er's mother has gone?" ”

The face that was still smiling brightly just now suddenly darkened, and Charlotte lowered her eyes and replied, "Mom, Mommy has gone out to play." ”

"Oh......" Qu Xi couldn't help frowning. Leaving such a young daughter home alone, but running out to play?

"Qu Xi, what does your mother do?"

"Huh?" Charlotte was a little puzzled.

"Ah...... That is, it is the ...... of what kind of work is done."

As soon as she heard this, Xia Luo quickly picked up the bowl that Qu Xi had placed on the table and hurriedly walked to the kitchen: "I'll go and serve Sister Qu another bowl!" ”

Qu Xi looked at the thin back of the departing figure, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

On this trip, Charlotte has been gone for a long time. Qu Xi was a little bored alone, so he got up and walked around the room.

Well, that's messy.

There are clothes, stockings, underwear, and some DVDs everywhere, and at a glance, you can see that this mother is too lazy.

However, Qu Xi was sharp-eyed to find that in this messy environment, except for Charlotte's small bed, only the windowsill seemed much cleaner.

There is a small pot of bamboo.

And next to this bamboo, is a picture frame.

In the frame, there is a gorgeous-looking woman holding a small baby. And next to this woman, stood a man with a serious face.

Well, the family is good-looking.

Qu Xi gave her own comment.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a series of footsteps behind me.

Charlotte hurried around the house full of debris.

"Sister Qu, this, this can't be watched!"

As she spoke, she put her toes on her toes and slammed the frame down.
