With the address given by Xiao Xiaoou, Ouyang Lai and Qiao Mu came to the family building area of a middle school.

It was already early afternoon, and the dusk was halfway through the city, and the buildings seemed to be lazy.

Ouyang Lai turned to look at Qiao Mu, his face full of apologies: "I really don't want to involve you in my mess." ”

Qiao Mu smiled warmly: "I am willing." ”

Ouyang Lai smiled shyly, and then explained as he walked: "Although I hated her when I was a child, Tongtong is innocent..."

"When I was a freshman in high school, Tongtong was only 3 years old, so I should have been just one round older than her, and now I happen to be in the grade of junior high school."

Ouyang Lai thought and said: "Originally, my dad still had a little conscience, and he had always refused to have children after cheating and remarrying, but he definitely couldn't withstand Xiao Xiaoou's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and he had a second daughter in middle age, I remember the year they gave birth, my mother gave me 200 yuan, and asked me to take it to my father, saying that I congratulated him......."

"Did you give it?" Qiao Mu asked.

"Of course not, I secretly hid and found an opportunity to buy meat for my mother to eat....."

Ouyang Lai put his hands behind his back, stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, and walked side by side with Qiao Mu through one by one.

"My mom is just too kind and easy to talk to..... So I made up my mind at that time that I must be a completely different person from my mother........."

At this time, Qiao Mu gently held Ouyang Lai's palm, and said in a warm voice, "You are still as kind as her." ”

Ouyang Lai hung his head in frustration: "It's still the same sentence, I thought I could become a female devil, but you beat me back to the prototype." ”

Qiao Mu put his arm around her shoulder: "Isn't this good?" ”

Ouyang Lai looked at him: "If you pull out my thorn, you have to be responsible." ”

"Okay." Qiao Mu's voice was like a breeze in late spring that swept through every inch of Ouyang Lai's nerves: "I will protect you, always." ”

...........................................

They hurriedly talked about love in every unmanned redundant road, and soon arrived at the address given by Xiao Xiaoou.

Looking up, it should be a few new apartment buildings built by this school, which are good in shape and hardware, and are considered a medium-sized community.

Ouyang Lai pressed the elevator, seven floors, and the elevator opened.

Unbeknownst to him, the elevator door was about to open, and a girl with a round face greeted her, her eyes first glowing, and then extinguished.

The moment she turned around, Ouyang Lai stopped her: "Tongtong? ”

The girl stopped and turned around.

His eyes looked at Ouyang Lai with dripping eyes, and after a while, he asked timidly, "Are you, Sister Lailai?" ”

The child was shorter than the average thirteen-year-old girl, with slender limbs, but a bulging face.

It's just that the complexion is not good, and if you look closely, it seems that the face is not flesh, like pathological edema.

In a trance, Ouyang Lai's heartstrings trembled, and his voice softened a little.

"Well, you still recognize me."

Tongtong bent her eyes and immediately laughed, and she trotted over: "Sure enough, it's Sister Lailai!" When you went to college, I was in elementary school, so I naturally remember a little bit of what you looked like! What's more, you haven't changed, you're still so beautiful! ”

"Huh!" Tongtong moved his eyes to Qiao Mu again, and a pair of eyes immediately lit up again: "This uncle is a big star!" Have you ever acted in a Korean drama!! That one.... Call.... Called......"

Tongtong didn't seem to remember, and patted her head again.

Ouyang Lai smiled peacefully: "Uncle is not a big star, he is my boyfriend." ”

Tongtong narrowed her eyes: "Wow, Sister Lailai has a boyfriend....."

Ouyang Lai didn't hate this child as much as he hated Xiao Xiaoou.

Especially after experiencing so much, I actually feel a little sorry for this child.

She wanted to pat her head affectionately, but the outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

She opened her mouth and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Tongtong shook her head: "I'm waiting for my mother here, I've already made the meal, and I'm waiting for her to help me buy the medicine back." ”

"....." Ouyang Lai handed over the paper bag: "The medicine is here, your mother has to work overtime at night, and I told you to lock the door yourself." ”

Tongtong thoughtfully took the paper bag and asked, "Sister Lailai, have you seen your mother?" ”

Ouyang Lai nodded.

"Did she murder you?"

"Nope."

"That's good, that's good." Tong Tongfu laughed again: "Sister Lailai, handsome uncle, if you are fine, come to my house for dinner, I also cooked my mother's meal in the afternoon, I can't finish it alone....."

"Okay."

"Nope."

Unison.

"Good" is what Qiao Mu promised.

"No" is what Ouyang Lai said.

Qiao Mu had already understood Ouyang Lai's thoughts.

She has been homeless since she was a child, without a family.

The mother died, the father was cowardly, and the stepmother was estranged, only this child was not stained with them, and he was half of Ouyang Lai's relatives.

Ouyang Lai is a hard-working child, she has eaten the sugar of the world, and naturally she can't see people who are as hard-working as her.

So Qiao Mu wanted to accompany her to have a look, whether it was sympathy or something else, she should have wanted to have a meal with this child.

So Qiao Mu stepped forward and looked at her shallowly: "You say, what kind of food can a thirteen-year-old child cook?" ”

Ouyang Lai's eyes flickered a little, and he pursed his lips with difficulty: "Then let's go and take a look." ”

...............................

Tongtong happily led them through the door, poured the water very sensibly, and then turned to go to the kitchen.

"It seems that your aunt is quite attentive to her daughter, and she rented a house in the school, which not delays the child's schooling, but also recuperates."

Qiao Mu looked around, and his voice was faint.

"Hmm."

Ouyang Lai absentmindedly swept over this one-bedroom house of less than sixty square meters.

The use of the house is neat and orderly.

There is also a photo wall on the wall.

Those photos are all photos of my father, Tongtong and Xiao Xiaoou's family of three before his death.

Somehow, Ouyang Lai was suddenly a little relieved.

"They're family." She muttered.

At this time, Tongtong had already brought out a pot of stewed vegetables and placed it tremblingly on the half-person-high dining table.

She saw Ouyang Lai looking at the photo, so she ran to the TV cabinet and took out a family photo.

Tongtong raised the photo, and smiled innocently and brightly: "Sister Lailai, look, I still have a photo of you, this photo is taken by your father to the photo studio when you were admitted to college, you see you have a tense face, not happy at all." ”

Ouyang Lai's gaze gradually shifted over.

Black ponytail, old clothes on the body, tough look, hollow eyes.

Well, it's me.

On the left is the father wearing a stand-up collar T-shirt, on the right is Xiao Xiaoou with a charming smile, and in front is Tongtong, who is only half a person tall.

Well, it's a family photo.

"I can't give you this picture, because I only have one." Tongtong pouted knowingly, and hugged him in his arms with some reluctance.

"I don't want it." Ouyang Lai Wenwen smiled, and then looked at the dining table: "When did you learn to cook?" ”

"Last year, my mother was suddenly busy at work last year, and no one took care of me, so I took care of myself." Tongtong said it very lightly.

After speaking, she placed the two of them at the table, and said shyly: "I have to go for the injection first." ”

With that, he carried the medicine bag into the bathroom.

Ouyang Lai looked at the bathroom door in such a daze, and said abruptly: "I, like her, also depend on my mother, and my life is not good." ”

Qiao Mu's eyes moved slightly: "Never again." ”

Ouyang Lai suddenly turned around and said what she wanted to say but tried her best to restrain herself: "Qiao Mu, let's help her." ”
