It's dark.

An Yuanyao sat in the back seat of the van and looked at Liu Xiazhi who was holding a plastic bottle in her hand.

At this time, there were only two of them in the car.

Liu Changqing just parked on the side of the road, saying that he was going to a nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities.

Didn't work overtime late tonight, although Feng Qian's father and daughter didn't leave the company and go home, Liu Changqing chose to send An Yuanyao back to rest first.

She hadn't slept well in the past two days, and her complexion didn't look good.

When he was in the company, Liu Changqing had already noticed this, so he was not so unkind to pull the other party to work late, and the time at this moment was close to eight o'clock in the evening.

An Yuanyao looked at Liu Xiazhi, who was speechless, and she suddenly found that this child began to become taciturn, not as lively as before.

When Liu Changqing was about to go shopping just now, this girl had to follow, but after being comforted by Liu Changqing, she pouted and reluctantly agreed to wait in the car.

Then he took out a plastic bottle from the small bag he was carrying and looked at it.

It is a mineral water bottle with a screw-on lid.

When she was in the company, An Yuanyao saw Liu Xiazhi take out this thing and share it with the little girl named Feng Shuyan.

It's just that I didn't have time to ask at the time, but at this moment, I couldn't suppress the curiosity in my heart and asked softly.

"Xia Zhi, why do you carry a bottle with you......"

"It's a tadpole......"

Liu Xiazhi's voice was a little low in reply.

A pair of small hands picked up the mineral water bottle and stretched it out in front of An Yuanyao.

At this time, An Yuanyao saw the tadpole in the bottle clearly.

Two small tadpoles have grown legs.

Because the bottle was too close, An Yuanyao subconsciously stepped back and looked at Liu Xiazhi's little face.

"It's ...... Did you raise it? ”

"Hmmm! It's cute, isn't it? ”

Talking about Liu Xiazhi's third favorite thing, her mood obviously changed a little, and she looked at An Yuanyao with big eyes.

Liu Xiazhi moved in the direction where An Yuanyao was, and at the same time handed the plastic bottle in his hand in front of An Yuanyao.

"If you look closely, you'll see that they're cute!"

"Yes...... Lovely? ”

The tone stammered, An Yuanyao looked at Liu Xiazhi's expectant expression in front of her, and then looked at the plastic bottle handed to her, and after being stunned for a moment, she still chose to reach out and take it.

The water in the plastic bottle was relatively cold, and this feeling was felt the moment An Yuanyao's palm touched it.

She hadn't actually seen a real tadpole.

I've only seen it in textbooks before, but this is the first time I've seen it up close.

Holding back the act of wanting to throw the bottle out, An Yuanyao's head leaned forward, and a pair of eyes looked at the plastic bottle containing most of the half bottle of water.

“……”

After looking at it for about three seconds, An Yuanyao quickly returned the plastic bottle in her hand to Liu Xiazhi.

didn't look at Liu Xiazhi, who took the plastic bottle with a confused face, An Yuanyao rolled down the window vigorously and looked out of the car.

Breathing heavily.

Too...... It's horrible!

It is black and autumn, and there are two legs, swimming around in the water, because it is a close view, An Yuanyao can feel that fear even more.

Tadpole...... It's horrible!

"Aunt Ann...... Don't you like my little tadpoles? ”

Liu Xiazhi also noticed An Yuanyao's actions, first after a brief stunned moment, and then asked in a lost tone.

This inquiry pulled An Yuanyao, who turned to the car window, back.

She turned her head to look at Liu Xiazhi, who was holding a plastic bottle.

A pair of big eyes looked at him, and there was a trace of grievance on his face.

"No...... No, I think tadpoles too...... Tadpoles are cute. ”

"Really!"

Liu Xiazhi said happily, and after speaking, she unscrewed the cap of the bottle with her little hand, and muttered in her mouth.

"If you look at the bottle, you will feel that they are cuter......"

"No...... No, you don't!"

"Here, Aunt An, you can come and see it too!"

"I ...... I ......"

"Aunt Ann?"

Leaning on his back, there was no way back behind him, An Yuanyao looked at the bottle handed over by Liu Xiazhi.

She always felt that the two tadpoles with long legs would suddenly pop out......

I don't want to look at tadpoles!

Liu Changqing came to the rescue......

"Alright, that's it."

A voice sounded behind An Yuanyao, and a hand reached through the car window and grabbed the plastic bottle containing tadpoles in front of An Yuanyao.

There was some helplessness in Liu Changqing's tone.

"Not everyone is going to like tadpoles, and ...... Don't just unscrew the lid off, if it does, your cute little tadpole won't survive. ”

As he spoke, he took the bottle cap in Liu Xiazhi's small hand with his other hand, and then screwed the bottle cap on.

An Yuanyao was stunned.

She only felt that when Liu Changqing went to get the bottle cap, the other party seemed to be hugging her, and the feeling of being frightened just now dissipated a lot in an instant.

Turning his head, he looked at Liu Changqing, who had screwed on the cap.

I saw that after he finished twisting the bottle cap, he carried it in his hand casually, with no expression on his face, and his beard grew some ......

But......

"Evergreen!"

"Huh? Why do you call me that? ”

"No, you heard me wrong!"

An Yuanyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned her head back and looked straight ahead.

Because of the light, Liu Changqing didn't notice the other party's gradually reddening face, but scratched his head a little inexplicably, and then walked to the front of the car, opened the door and sat down.

"Take it yourself, don't be scary."

As he spoke, he turned around and handed the plastic bottle in his hand to his daughter in the back seat.

Pouting and reaching out to take it, Liu Xiazhi obviously didn't think he was scary.

"Aunt Ann also said that tadpoles are very cute......"

"Really?"

A little surprised in his heart, Liu Changqing glanced at An Yuanyao who was bowing his head behind him.

"You like tadpoles too?"

"Also...... Also ......"

"Well, I don't quite understand what you're thinking......"

With this in his mouth, Liu Changqing turned around and started the car, and then drove up.

This time, the interior of the car was much quieter.

It took about twenty minutes to arrive at An Yuanyao's residence.

Stopping at the gate of the community, Liu Changqing got out of the car, followed by An Yuanyao also got down from the back seat.

Liu Xiazhi continued to stay in the car and looked at the plastic bottle in his hand.

Standing in front of An Yuanyao, Liu Changqing pondered for a moment.

"Tomorrow you set an alarm for half past eight, and I'll pick you up at nine o'clock."

"Good ......"

"By the way, forget you still have to put on makeup."

Thinking of this, Liu Changqing estimated the time in his heart, and then spoke.

"Why don't you set the alarm until eight o'clock, so you won't be delayed."

“……”

"Hahaha, just kidding, I'll pick you up at half past nine, it's okay."

An Yuanyao raised her head and looked at Liu Changqing who was smiling like this, this time she didn't give him two punches because she was teased by the other party.

Instead, they kept looking at him.

After laughing a few times, Liu Changqing found that An Yuanyao in front of him was a little quiet, and his laughter became lower and lower until it disappeared completely.

Somewhat embarrassed, he raised his hand and scratched his face, and the other hand took it in his pocket for a while and handed it over.

"Say a reward for you."

"It's ......"

"Lipstick, I just went to buy it."

“……”

An Yuanyao was stunned.

She looked at the lipstick handed over by Liu Changqing, and then looked at Liu Changqing on the side.

Slowly, a pair of eyes became twinkling.

"Thank you......"

"Don't forget it!"

Seeing that the other party did not react, Liu Changqing wanted to retract his hand.

An Yuanyao just said a word of thanks, and then saw Liu Changqing's actions, quickly closed his mouth, stretched out his hand and snatched the lipstick, and clutched it in his hand.

When Liu Changqing saw the other party's actions, he was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

"Go back, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Looking at Liu Changqing, An Yuanyao smiled after a while, nodded and answered.

"Good!"

With a smile on his face, he watched Liu Changqing drive away, and only after he couldn't see the rear of the car in sight did An Yuanyao turn around and go home.

When I got home, I changed into the ugly pink slippers, then threw my bag on the sofa and trotted to the bathroom.

Looking in the mirror, I turned on my lipstick and put it on my mouth.

When you're done, look at yourself in the mirror.

Especially the color on the lips......

An Yuanyao froze.

For a long time, as if expected, he said to himself.

"I knew ......"
